I will help them to get every general officer In the church.

GAME WAS CALLED
 OFF ON ACCOUNT OF RAIN

Just about the time for the game to be called yesterday afternoon the clouds got busy and handed out line of moisture that in a very brief time spelled mo game" By the time this first rain was over, the grounds were pNetty wet and Manager Ryan went over and told Tom Fisher that there was nothing doing. For some unaccountable reason, Judge KaYa- naugh failed to have a league ump- pire here and if the game had been played, two players would have had to oflciate.
 This makes the fourth game that has been broken up by rain in Montgom- cry, one with Birmingham, one with Mobile. and two with Atlanta.
 Mobile is in second place this morn. ing. Memphis beating Atlanta yester. day and Memphis is now only five points behind Atlanta for third place.
 Ladies day today. The Merry Wild ows have had raw deal so far and the clerk of the Weather Bureau ought to relent today

 Difficult Operation

Surgeons in Harlem Hospital Perform
 Difficult Operation.
 New York. May 1s.-By the use of X-rays. surgeons In the Harlem hospi- tai were enabled to locate a needle within a fraction of an inch of Nich ol1s Huyler's heart yesterday when they performed an operation which saved his life.
 Huy1er a tailor. IS years of age. fell Thursday while carrying up stairs pair of trousers on which he had been working at his home. and a needle en- tered his chest. A few hours later he visited the Harlem hospital but the needle had disappeared, and superfi- cial examination failed to disclose 1t. Yesterday he suffered intense pain in the region of his heart, and fearing he was going to die. he hurried to the hospital.
 X-rays were applied and the needle was seen close to his heart and had 1t remained there two hours more the surgeons say 1t would probably have penetrated that organ and caused his death. Huyler is resting eomforta ply but it probably will be two weeks De- fore he can leave the hospital.

RIGGSVlLLE THREATENED.
Little Hope Of Saving That Place or
Georgetown Center.

Bath. Ne, July 9.-The forest fire
which started on the island of George
town this morning still continued to
burn with undated force and the
greater part of the island will be laid
low The band of fire fighters which
were sent from here this morning to
assist the settlers have been greatly
reinforced but find difficulty in carry
ing water to the scene of the fire and
make scarcely no progress in stopping
the fire.
The fire is rapidly working its way
towards Riggsville, the largest village
on the island. and many of its inhab-
itants have either left the village or
are engaged in packing up their be-
longings to be ready to leave their
homes at moments notice.
The fire has now burned over an
area of three square miles. and fan
ned by a brisk southwest wind, very
little hope is entertained that the vii
lagos of Riggsville and Georgetown
Center will escape destruction.
Telephone connection with the is
land was cut off this afternoon and the
