Birmingham, July 7.--(speeiai., .,-- Reports received In the city are to the offect that quite Q number of non. union coal miners are being discharg- se or advocating unionism at several of the mines or are quitting of their own accord and joining the union.
 At ths Headquarters of the union In this city the statement was made this morning that between thirteen and fifteen coal mines have been affected by the strike order which was Issued Monday. Commercial coal operators seen assert that In the next few days their properties will be put back in op- eration with whatever labor appliss, the mines to be run on thd open shop plan. Gs
 Two more commercial companies were reported today as having signed the union scale. a flat rate of fftY-five cents per ton to be paid for mining. This makes four companies 10 havo signed the scale.
 A big meeting which completely dll- cd the city hall was haid ct Pratt City W. R. Fairley. the Alabama member of the national board. was the principal speaker, and others made strong talks. i 1t was reported today that the strike had interrupted work ct BIossburg, Brook side.

 Operators Are Conadent.
 Birmingham, July 7.-Ths United Mine workers strike Is causing some of the furnace mines to shuta down, but oficlals of the Tennessee Company. the sloss-shefaeid Company and &il other iron concerns say they feel confident of their ability to mine all the coal they need.
 Pronting by their experience in the long and bitter strike which began in 1904, the operators are employing at the start large force of special depu- ties to protect their men and their property. The sheriff is displaying much energy In coping with the nitua- ton and says he is determined to pre- serve order at any cost.
 In 1904 the strike was only against the furnace companies. Now tt ie against the commercial operators also. All are standing solidly together to re- sist the encroachments of the union. They claim that the open shop price of 47 i-2c a ton is all they can aford to nay in view of present business condi- tions. The union demand is for 5s cents.
 The operators state that under no conditions will they recognize the union and this attitude makes con- ference impossible.

Games Today.
Van Vert at Huntington.
Muncie at Richmond.
{ BY T ort.)

Richmond won from Muncie yester-
day because Pierce laced out a home
run in the ninth; Muncie lost to Rich
mond because Hall dOpped an easy
chance off Jessup's bat in the second,
allowing Pierce to score.
By. the above outline it can be seen
that Mr.. J. Pierce was quite the main
piece of work of the afternoons pas
time. Other distinguished lumina-
ries-of the contest were Aresmith and
Carmichael, the demon Dunkirk ath-
'lete. These two twirlers were in
grand form and the game was any
body's up to the time Pierce got in
his devilish work in the ninth.
The game was a home run affair,
notwithstanding the fact that the to-
tai number of hits made by the two
teams only registered ten. OF this
number four counted for the entire
circuit of the bases. The two collect
ed by the locals were perpetrated by
Bauman and Pierce. The two home
runs made by the hostiles are charg-
ed to Hall and Carmichael. All of
them but one made by Bauman were
of lucky nature. These fluke hon.
ers. had they not double crossed the
outfielders, would have only counted
for singles.
In the kickoff, Mr.. Bauman per-
formed his usual daily exhibition, to-
wit: tore the wadding out of a brand
new ball, costing as much as S1.2o in
real money. After committing this
act of vandalism Mr.. Bauman never
stopped running until he had made
the complete circuit of the bags. Rem
nants of the ruined pail were found
by Mr. Hall in deep center, near the
fence.
In the second. Pierce led off with a
single. J. Bambaugh and Shinn We're
easy ou-, then Jessup lofted one to
Hall. who allowed the ball to squirt
through his hands. On this miscue
Mr.. Pierce counted. In the fourth,
Hall smote to left. The ball hit the
ground then made an ascension over
Shinns head. 1t was recovered near
the gate Hall counted on the drive
In the eighth, Carmichael drove d
lucky one past Hurst which counted
for a homer. In the last of the ninth
Pierce. the first man up, hit the first
ball pitched him over the second base
1t bounded over Halls head and roll
ed far enough to allow Pierce to bring
home the winning run. Summary:

FANS TAKE WARNING
Richmond Baseball Team
Must Be Supported If
Continued.
MUNCIE PLAYS TODAY.

Richmond and Muncie will play off
the final game OF the series this after
noon at Athletic park, the game being
called promptly at 3 O'Clock. Fleming
or Mason will pitch for the locals,
while Hiatt will probably work for
Muncie. Three hundred Muncie root
ers will be on hand to witness the con-
test and they promise to make things
extremely lively.
The games played here Friday and
Saturday were very poorly patronized
and the fans should make up for their
lack of support these two games by
turning out in force Sunday. One
thing is cinch. If the people of
Richmond want to continue having
baseball the remainder of the season
the club must receive better support
than has been accorded it. Last Sun
day there were only 600 paid admis-
sions. The paid attendance at each
Sunday game should be at least fiji
teen hundred.

Mohammed and the Mountain.

When Mohammed first announced his
religion the Arabs demanded some SUI
pernatural proof of his commission.
The prophet replied that it would be
tempting God to ask for such proof,
but upon their insisting he commanded
Mount Safa to come to him. and when
it stirred not at his bidding exclaimed:
God be merciful. Had it obeyed my
words 1t would have fallen on us and
destroyed us. l will therefore go to
the mountain and thank God that he
has had mercy on a stiff necked genera
tion."-New York American.

The closing game of the season will
be played by the Earlham team Mon
day afternoon at Reid Field. when the

The Kibbeys only mustered seven
regular players when they reported at
Athletic park yesterday afternoon to
do battle with the Hoosier Drills.
This made it necessary for the Cravat
Clerks TO forfeit the contest After
doing this the kibbeys picked up a
couple of players, and in an exhibition
contest, trimmed the factory boys in a
one-sided game by a score of Il to l.
The feature of the contest was the
batting of Allison for the kibbeys. In
one inning he made two clean home
