DOUBLE UMPIRE SYSTEM
 FAVORED BY SHERIDAN

St. Louis, July 10-Umpire Jack Sheri-s can of Ban Johnson's staff, to President Hedges and Manager McAlser, stated:
 "The double umpire system is ne- cesslty. So close is the battling Tn both leagues, and so tight are the scores, that it is the height of folly for Johnson and Pulliam to put one arbitrator on the job.
 Then, the managers and players are oranlSier than ever before. So are the fans That's because pretty nearly every same that is played spells so much

THE AMATEURS.

One of the most interesting games of the season in amateur baseball circles will be played this afternoon when the teams from the Birmingham Athletic club and the Y. M. c. A. will contest for the Birmingham championship. Both of these teams are at present in excellent shape and are confident of victory
 The team from the Athletic club is the finest that it has ever put out, and from what can be learned from the Y. M. c. A: boys, theirs is the best that they have ever had, so a sharp contest is expected. Thomas, the young pitcher of the Ath- this season, having played in several games but never allowing more than three hits in any of them. He will pitch the game this afternoon.
 The records of the two teams for the present season give the Y. M. c. A. boys a slight advantage, If one may judge by games won and lost They have played 15 games and lost only one, while the Athletic club has entered in only six con tests and has lost two of them Remem- bering the intense rivalry that has always existed between the contestants, no mat ter in what branch of athletics they en- gagged, it is safe to say that good game will be pulled off at West End this aft ernoon.
 By way of further attraction. the teams from the Wesley Chapel and the East Lake Methodist Sunday schools will play for the championship of the Sun day School league at West End this aft ernoon, so the public is assured of two good, clean and snappy contests.

And while speaking of umpres, we might ask the question, Where Is O'Brien?"
 Has Frank or some of his Pelican out fit, thrown him in the quarreling Missis sippi?
 At any rate, the pusilist did not show up in New Orleans yesterday, and in spite of the threats of Manager Frank, Umpire Carpenter remained in Mobile.
 It is very probable, however, that O'Brien is even now telling his troubles to Judge Kavaniugh.
 He has many to tel, and if he remains longer in the league will have more.

street between Eddie Kane and frankie
Madden for the benefit OF Louis Poggi,
known as Louis the Lump. who is in the

About two hundred men were In the

night sticks in the bands Of the ooppers.
Most Of the spectators escaped, however
and with the comparatively small force
Capt. McNally had he succeeded in getting
only seventy-fve prisoners, including the
the referee, James Dugan.
Kane and Madden are featherweights
and are well known In pugdom. Both are
friends Of Louis the Lump To insure q
good attendance the. fighters agreed to
East Side and Brooklyn put up 81 apiece to

used TO procure a lawyer for Poggi.
Capt. McNally got wind Of the scrap

featherweights advanced at the sound Of
the gong the captain. with two patrol
wagonloads Of oops. drove up. Madden
and Kane were mixing it up In lively fashion
in the first round when the police forced
their way In and announced that the mill

more than they could do. They couldn't
possibly stem the tide. Of men and youths

William W. Kitchin was nominated sor
Governor tonight by the Democratic State
convention cn the sixty-Arst ballot after
four day deadlock. There had been three
candidates -Kitchin, Locke Craig Of Bum
oombe county and Ashlcy Horne Of john
stone.
From Friday morning until tonight
there had been but one four hour recess
taken, that being from $50 to 1880 this
morning. Tho convention was kept going
by working shifts" In the delegations Of
each county, while the Congressional vice.
presidents relieved the permanent chair
man an often as necessary.
When tho convention resumed work at
II o'clock this morning q number of dele
gates had left. The departing delegates
did not affect the voting. for oil the counties
except fourteen Of tho ninety-eight have
sent instructed delegates. apportioned ac-
cording to the strength each candidate re-
ceived at the county primaries.
1t was about pollock when the first break
came, and the following figures were read
out: Horne 1,e. Craig 200. Kitchin ass.
Everybody in the hall sat bolt upright and
the Horne delegates made demonstration.
for Craig had fallen below the 500 mark for
the first time and nearly all the votes he lost
had gone to swell Horne's vote. Four
hours later. after many more fruitless bal
lots, the sixteenth ballot was announced
and the hopes Of the Horne crowd were
again dashed. for his vote had fallen to 1885,
sight less than he started with on Wednesday
Craig's vote had increased again to within a
dozen OF his original vote and Kitchin was
wanting only one vote to reach the 400 mark,
42o being necessary for a nomination.
With the next ballot the end came and
most Of the delegates fed before resolu-
tion was adopted adjourning until Monday.
There Is 10 doubt Of the denomination Of
nearly all the present State officers. Reso-
