Lajoie's Work Brilliant.

New York, August t10.-Cleveland knocked Hughes off the rubber today in less than two innings and won its only game of the series, to l. Berger pitched brilliant ball for the visitors, but the real feature was the work of Lajoie. He made a double and two triples in four times at bat and twice robbed Elberfeld of hits by remark able stops. New Yorks only run resulted from Austin's single which Hnchman fumbled allowing the batter an extra base LaPorte's hit and Dimmitt's sacri- flee fly brought him in. Score: R.H. E.

CLAD TO PAY y7.5o FOR THE
 PRIVILEGE OF ROOFING

Seventeen skilful cushion throwers were placed under arrest and carried off by the suburban officers.
 MT. Cassimus states that he was 'hauled" into court and instructed that he would have to make bond, pay a fine of s7.50 or go to jail. He states that he did not care to spend the night in jail, especially Elyton's jail, with a crowd of negroes. and his first oh oice was to pay the ST 50 fine, which he did.
 MT. Cassimus states that he was root ing for Birmingham and 80 ardent a supporter of the local team is he that he says he was really perfectly willing to pay for the privilege of roofing for his home club in the manner which he chose.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-08-11

G. M. Cassimus, a Greek, called by The Age-Herald office last night to in form reporter that he had been fined $7 50 for roofing for Birmingham at the baseball game yesterday afternoon. MT. Cassimus is one of the IT men who were picked up" by the Elyton police yesterday afternoon.
 In one of those moments of irresisti- ble enthusiasm it seems that the crowd in the bleachers got busy with their cushion seats and when the winning run was scored began to sail the cush- ions promiscuously out across the dia- mond
 Under the rules of the ball park such conduct is prohibited and the Elyton police hied themselves over to the bleachers and took hand in the affair."

Chicago. August 1o.-By winning today's game from Brooklyn, Edward Reulbach. the Chicago National League clubs great pitcher, is said to have equalled the record for 14 successive victories with the pitch ing box at its present distance-60 feet from the home plate.

Nashville in Birmingham. Montgomery in Atlanta.

The Barons took the second game of the series from Nashville yesterday after noon, the score being to 9 Ten innings were required to turn the trick, and 1t is probable that the honors would have gone to the visitors but for the clever work and iron-clad nerve of Moxie Man uel, the greatest product of Old Mexico.
 In the first the visitors by an error and a number of bingies of the scratch va riety ran two across. The Barons evened up in the fourth. From that point throughout the ninth there was no scoring. Manuel did the cleverer twirling, but Viebahn, when in trouble, was saved in- variably by some spectacular fielding or some hard luck befalling the Barons.
 Then the tenth dawned. The Volun- teers, with blood in their optics, faced the pitcher. Viebahn hit an easy one to Larsen and was safe, though he did stum- ble en route, when the utility player booted. Bay, following, attempted to sac- rifice. but was safe when Gygli failed to cover first. Wiseman put the two down a bag each, and things looked pre- carious indeed when East strolled to the plate, and the heavy hitter Robertson stood swinging his club threateningly.
 But the mighty Manuel stood between the Barons and defeat. The heavy East lifted one gallantly to the keystone and Gygli swallowed 1t. And Robertson fol- lowed suit, his pop fly being devoured with no serious trouble.
 Then the Barons stepped out and won with ease. Viebahn was rapped at crit ical moments, and soon the bases were full. Gyglrs hit, following, sent Moles- the game was over before a Baron was retired.
 Gygli's hitting was feature of the game. McGilvray's bingles were timely, too, his first swat putting over the two runs which tied the score in the fourth. At times Viebahn showed splendid form. He struck out large number of Barons, and several of them he kept continually on his hip. Manuel, save in the first in- ming, was invincibe It was his fourth straight victory, and, as stated it came as a result of his fine work and splendid nerve when the moment of danger came in the tenth.
 The Volunteers were the first to score. Bay, first up hit safely to the infeld, and went to second on a wild heave by Gyglf He took third on Wisemans out and scored when Bay singled to right Rob- ertson followed with short single to right which was followed by Siegels to the same territory. When Seabaugh went out at first East ran across the plate.
 RArOns ha I, ba;r half of the third in the following fashion: Henline opened with a single, and Ellam was hit by the ball. Molesworths infield hit filled the bases and a luscious bingle by McGilvray to right scored Henline and Ellam.
 In the tenth the Barons put one across and won the game. Molesworth, first up. was passed, and McGilvray hit safely to the infield. Yancey. following attempted to bunt, but when Viebahn ran forward the batsman dropped 1t over the pitch CTS head. The bases were then filled and Gygli singled lusciously to right and the winning run was scored.

name of the city he pleaded that the umpire be let alone.
 Several officers of the county were at the park at the beginning of the trouble and reinforced the police. A special street car carrying 20 other officers to the scene, formed cordon and backed Clifford to the patrol wagon.
 Clifford was placed in the wagon. Au- gusta will refuse to play any more games with Clifford umpiring.
 In the beginning of the fourth inning today a wild pitch by Griffin came near striking the umpire. Clifford claimed that Griffin tried to hit him and fined the local pitcher s25. Carson was fined $25 for not catching the ball. Manager Cas- tro tried to explain that Griffin did not intend to hit the umpire, whereupon Gif- ford fined Castro $15 and, without giving the team more than 30 seconds to begin playing, declared the game forfeited to Macon.

Tariff Rulinu a Joke.

Washington, August 10.-The action of Custom Collector Daniels at ogdensburg N. r., in ruling that the new tariff law does not make provision for the re-entry free of duty of American horses sent to Canada to take part in events on Cana dian tracks, presents ludicrous side to those officials. There is nothing in the new law or the old one which prevented the free admission of any article of American origin, and horses are no excep- ton.
