 The local association takes the posi- ton that if ladies are compelled to re- move their hats in theatres, they should do so at ball games, especially since the hats are no longer merely hats.

lta<{s.phis, April 29.-The local base 3ecFF association is perhaps the first of any kind to strike blow at the Merry Widow" hats.
 The enormous size of this latter day headgear has incensed the Memphis fans, many of whom have worn out their necks endeavoring, around the brim of this new model, to see the players and the diamond.
 These fans have made their 'holler" to the association, and the association has acted. When the team returns

Atlanta, April 29.-(Special.)-T excel lence of Pitcher Castleton caused the Baron downfall of this afternoon.
 The height of his greatness came in the ninth inning when with none out the Barons, after occupying third and second, famed out thrice thus concluding the game.
 Clark was stout in certain sections of the skrmish, and in others was found with remarkable ease The features of the struggle in addition to the magnifi- cent twirling of Atlanta's pitcher, were Jordans home run and the hitting of Cas- tleton and Raub. Triples by Dyer and Becker aided materially in the defeat of the Barons.
 The final score was 5 to ?.
 The Barons were the first to break the ice.
 In the second inning Raub opened with a single, was sacrificed to second and brought home on Demont neatly placed bingle to left
 In their half of the second, however, the Crackers tied the score, and ran ahead. Jordan, first up, hit to deep cen ter for home run and Castro, who was walked and stole second, tallied on Cas- tletons hit to left.
 Nothing daunted the Barons again tied the score in their half of the third Wal ters was walked and took second on

POINTERS ID RANDOM
BY HUGH W. ROBERTS.

Castleton had the goods yesterday aft ernoon, and had Ginger been effective, the Barons could hardly have achieved a victory.
 Clark, incidentally, has failed as yet to get away with l game, although he has had three tris. O: his own and has figured in two otrts battles.
 The best the peppery Ohioan has done this season was his tie game with Att lanta in Birmingham last week.
 But we cannot believe other than that Clark will make good in spite of his bad beginning.
 The fans at the Apollo matinee yester- day afternoon grew boisterous when in the ninth the Barons rallied.
 AS is told in another column, Douglass led off with a single and went to third when Tommy Raub, the red hot fav- orite, doubled to left.
 When Demont famed there was a hum of disappointment.
 When Downey famed this hum was in- terspersed with buzz of admiration for Castleton.
 When Reagan famed. while the tinge of regret remained, there went up cheer for the Atlanta pitcher, for while Bir- mingham wants Birmingham to win all the time. the local fans do appreciate fine work whether 1t is to the credit of Baron, a Cracker or anyone else.
 Three more games with Atlanta must be played before the locals return to the home lot
 Ii is believed that the Barons will give a good account of themselves yet. They did not play badly yesterday afternoon.
 Ables will probably work today, and if Manager Vaughn does not send the Texan southpaw to the slab, Robertaille will de- liver the goods
 The latter named gentleman has failed too, to get away with a game as yet, al- though he has worked in two It is about time that he makes landing, for it is absolutely certain that he has the goods.

Lajoie's Napoleans are leading the American league.
 This year may bring that luck to the Clevelanders the absence of which has been their downfall in previous seasons. Larry has always had a worthy outfit, | and has always done well. But misfor- | tunes have always stood in his path to l hinder his great success. New York has second place, and St. Louis is tied for third honors with the Philadelphia Athletics.
 Incidentally, in the National league, Philadelphia is tied with New York for third place, the Pittsburg Pirates having nosed the Giants out of second place yes- terday afternoon g.

WilhelmshaYen, March Ger
many's first mammoth war ship
was successfully launched here today
and chTistened Nassau, by the Grand
Duchess of Baden. Emperor William,
the Grand Duke of Baden, Prince
Henry of Prussia and Prince Henry
of the Netherlands, as we'll as
brilliant aSsemblage of prominent Of
ficials, were present. Wilhelm Won
Engdensberden, Lord Lieutenant of
HeSse-NaSSau, , made speech in
which he greeted the new vessel as a
welcome addition to Germany's sea
power and a defender of the inter-
ests of the empire.
The launching Of the giant battle
ship Nassau inaugurates a new era
in the German navy. In size, arma-
ment, speed and installation, she will
be superior to any warship hithertJ
built in Germany.
The Nassau displaced 1850 tons
and is built entirely of hardened steel.
Her dimensions and the thickness of
her armor are not known exactly as
everything connected with her con-
struction has been kept secret. 1t is
known. however, that she IL to be

sion reciprocitating engines and IS to

speed of at least 10 knots Her
crew is to number s66. including %

The Nassau's first keel plate was
laid down in the imperial navy yard
at BremeThaVen in the last quarter of
1905, so that her construction has
been very rapid. Her internal fittings
and armament are to be complet-
ed in the first quarter of 1909 TIE

the Scachsen is to be launched soon
from the Weser yard at Bremen,
while work is proceeding rapidly on
