"Silk" O'Loughlin is a firm believer
that the baseball fans of to-day would
prefer to witness a low score, great
pitching and fast fielding game, than
a veritable smuggling bee, productive
of dozen runs or more. "The truth
is" said OLoughlin, recently, "that
about two or three hard hitting big
score games in a season is quite
enough. These Is to games are too
much like old-fashioned village three
old-cat for the red-blooded fans of to.
day. The truth is, too, that the games
that make new fans and bring the old
ones out the next day are the to 0.
2 to 1 and to 2 contests in which,
from start to finish, hit or bril-.
liant fielding play will turn the tide of
victory or defeat. The fan who de-
clares he likes to see 'slugging' be-
lieves what he says, but he is mista,
ken. If it is the visiting team that is
doing the 'slugging' this fan doesn't
get over his madness for week. The
games that live in ones memory are
the games in which both pitchers are
at their best; in which the ball is all
the time in play; in which the hitting
is just hard enough to make sensa-
tional fielding possible, and in which
a score is so close that the result is
actually in doubt until the twenty-sev-
enth putout has been made on both
Sides" OLoughlin sees 154 games
season and has the opportunity to test
the temper of all kinds of crowds.
Commenting on the difference be-
tween ball players now and 20 years
ago, George B. Dewey, owner of the
Boston National league club, said in
an interview: cit strikes me that the
up-to-date ball player is odd in sew.
eral respects. don't mean person
ally, but as far as his profession is
concerned. When I played ball, if An.
son, Mike Kelly, Ferguson or any
stars of the time even spoke to me,
felt honored. A hint from them as
to the way this or that style Of hit
should be played drove me into the
seventh heaven of delight. I could not
thank them fast enough for advice. 1t
was good counsel, I was sure. Now
Just let man well up in the game
even suggest to new conner that he
could improve on certain play. The
big Lacquer will scowl, walk away and
soon say to companion: What do
you think of that old stiff, tried to
tell me how to play the bag Modern
players resent any advice. They i'm.
agine that they are perfect. Sorry to
note the existence of such a spirit.
Few are willing workers."

claiming to live near st. Paul, came
into town Saturday night and put up
at one of the rooming houses. In the
morning she went to a lunch counter
to get something to eat, and going be-
hind the counter took possession OF a

The proprietor sent for a policeman,
who succeeded in capturing the wom-

she appeared before the city justice

disorderly She said it was morphine,
but she admitted that beer also had
something to do with it.
The justice fined her SIS, which she
paid.

ROAD QUESTION
 BEFORE COUNCIL
ST. CHARLES STREET EXTENSION WILL PROBABLY COME UP IN TUNNEL PLANS PROGRESSING.

Perhaps the most important item of business to come up before the City Council at its regular meeting tonight will be the action of the body on the resolution introduced at the last meet ing by Alderman Cooper which proposes the extension of St. Charles street across Red mountain as q substitute for the proposed tunnel route
 Apparently this plan has met with con- siderable favor. It is argued that the road can be constructed with a maximum grade of 6 per cent for about sl1 900, while the estimated cost of the proposed tun- nel is $65,000. On the other hand it Is argued that the tunnel route is of a more central location and will serve as a more convenient connection between the two valleys.
 It is stated by members of the Board of Revenue that plans for the tunnel are progressing favorably, but it is generally conceded that if the City Council passes the Cooper resolution it may kill the tun- mel proposition, or at least throw a tenn porary damper on it.
 Unless the committees ask for further time the matter will in all probability be settled in the council tonight.

BULLET CRASHES
 THROUGH WINDOW
CHILDREN PLAYING IN SOUTH SIDE HOME NARROWLY ESCAPE DEATH BY STRAY BALL WHICH LODGES IN PARLOR WALL.

While Janet and Julian Benjamin and Leon Simpson were playing a gramo- phone in the parlor of the residence of their grandparents, MT. and Mrs. J. Fox 1900 Eleventh avenue, south, early last night, two pistol shots were fired in the immediate vicinity of the home, the sec ond ball crashing through one of the windows of the room in which the chill dren were playing.
 The little Benjamin girl narrowly es- capped serious injury. if not death, as the ball which entered the room barely missed her and buried itself in the par Tor wall opposite the window through which it entered. The bullet came from the direction of the Delheim residence about half a block distant from the Fox home. It is not thought that the shots were fired with any evil intent toward the children, one of which so narrowly escaped. but that some one fired reck- lessly at some object, and that one of the bullets went wild and crashed into the room where the children were.
 However some indignation was aroused by the incident and police headquarters were notified by telephone. The officers were tardy in responding to the call, it Is stated, and it was not ascertained who fired the shots.

CHARGED WITH
 STEALING WHEELS
THEFTs ARE REPORTED DAILY AND POLE ARRESTED IN WILLIAM IS BELIEVED TO BE GUILTY OF MANY.

Within the past month or six weeks there has hardly day passed that the loss of a bicycle has not been reported to police headquarters. Chief of Police Eubank of Wylam and Detective Wrenn of Ensley captured a man yesterday whom they seem to believe stole most of the missing wheels. The man gave his name as Yargo Yargara, but he has been going upder the alias of Jan Chort He appears to be a Pole of the upper class.
 It seems that Yargara has for some time been selling secondhand bicycles in Wylam. It is stated that he would make arrangements one day for the sale of a wheel and deliver the goods on the following day. It is known that he has sold 10 or 12 wheels in Wylam within the past few weeks, and it is believed by the authorities that he stole them all. Apparently his operations have covered the entire immediate Birmingham vicn- ity. When caught yesterday Yargara had a stolen bicycle.
 The bicycle dealer appears to be very i, smooth. He could not speak a word of English to the officers yesterday, and had to have an interpreter, although he has been selling bicycles to Americans right along.

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Biicu.

"The Man On the Box has won a not able success at the Bijou theatre this week with the Baldwin-Melville company as the offering. The company is an or ganization of carefully chosen players who are fully competent to undertake the most difficult roles. The two prin- clpaI characters are in the hands of MT. Robert E. OConnor and Miss Jane Wheat ley and they acquit themselves in capital style. MT. O'Connor makes the most of his opportunities for comedy. The action of the piece is unusually diverting and there are some charming love scenes in the play. The story deals with the ad- ventures of a young army lieutenant who masquerades as a butler and coachman In the household of his sweetheart The play Is carefully staged and presented un- der the personal direction of Walter S. Baldwin. The usual performance will oc given tonight.

ERUPTIONS IN
 FARMERS UNION
TWO SETS OF OFFICERS ARE ACT ING AS RESULT OF REGENT DE- CiSlON OF THE EXECUTIVE COM MITTEE.

A state of war exists at the head quarters of the Alabama State Farmers Educational and Cooperative Union be- tween the executive committee and the officers of the union. The executive com mittee recently removed Presidnt Dr. J. x. Duncan and asked Secretary E. J. Cook for his resignation Neither of the two officers would accede to this request.
 J. H. Peerson of Florence was appointed president to fill out the unexpred term of Dr. Duncan and T. F. Johnston named to succeed MT. Cook. The offices of the union are located in the Commercial club building and the present status of affairs is that President Duncan and Secretary Cook refused to turn over these offices to Messrs. Peerson and Johnston. MT. Peer son has announced that his headquarters Cook while not talking, have intimated that nothing less than a court order will cause them to relinquish their rights.
 The cause of the trouble is that the executive committee instructed Secretary Cook to cut out one clerk in his depart nlent, and also issued the same instruc- tions regarding Business Agent Parkers office force These two officers claimed that the clerks were not an extra expense. as alleged by the executive committee, and refused to dispense with them, their salaries being included in the expense ac- count for May. This caused the execu- tive committee to take action It was also stated that the revenue of the busi- ness department for the last quarter was only $500, as against ssOO expense.
 Another instance charged by the execu- tive committee is that the Farmers Union Guide, while Mr Cook was president, became in debt to the union and that Mr. Cook made arrangements to pay this in- debtedness by printing It Is claimed that excessive printing bills were then mate by Mir. Cook for the union against this debt
 The executive committee is composed of five men-J. F. Barker, chairman; J. C. Hicks secretary; Robert F. Orr, Ben l.. Hill and J. J. Robinson, Jr. It is sad that MT. Cook charges that the election of this committee was not in accordance with the rules of the union.
 It is also charged by the committee that Mr Cook is engaged in other work which requires the additional clerks. This extra work is said to be history of the union which Mir. Cook has in writing.
 The regular election is to be held on vention will be held here
