Gets Good Place.

Anniston, June 24.-(Special. )-As a reward for faithful service during d trying time J. J. Barnett, manager of the Postal telegraph office in this city, has been promoted to the position of manager at Knoxville, Tenn. He de- clined to close his office during the strike last year, and was at that time assured of a good berth.

c.dartown Beats Anniston,

Anniston, June N.-(Special.)-A wild throw to first and three other errors at third lost 1O-inning game to the Cedar town (Ga) team here this afternoon. The game was pretty throughout, sensational fielding being done by Reynolds, Dysart Blackwell and Slattery for Anniston. The work of Jones behind the bat was ex- ceptionally clever.

Little Rock, June 24--(special)-The worm turned this afternoon and Birming- ham won. the score being 3 to ?.
 The final run was scored by MeGilvray when Boucher threw badly 10 first to complete a couple. McGilyray reached first. incidentally, on an error of Carey.
 The errors of the Travellers, in fact, had much to do with the result, but it must be remembered that the Barons hammered two runs across, runs in the making of which no miscue had finger. The two runs of the Travellers were sent over by hits with men on second.
 The Barons were exceedingly daring this afternoon, and at no time did they get away with it. One man was thrown out at the plate Two went out attempting to go to third from first on hit, one was caught at second endeavoring to draw a throw to third, and one was thrown out attempting to steal.
 Had they got away with their daring they would have won by a large score, for Milton was very vulnerable
 The Barons started off badly. In the second and third the Travellers scored their two The Barons took the bit in their teeth and after playing a splendid uphill game, won.
 MoGilvray hit with Gygli on third and Ellam on second. Gygli scored while Bl- lam was out at the plate.
 The second run was scored by McGil- vray. Bowen hit with men on bases.
 McGnvray scored the third run, as stat ed, as a result of Little Rock errors.
 The feature of the game was the terrific hitting of Raftls, who, in four trials, got four bingles, and the swatting of Me Gilvray.
 As a whole, Fleharty pitched good game. True he was hit in the second and third innings with men on second, but thereafter he could not be located when hit would have tied up the score or cost the victory. In the ninth, after the Bar ons had had their half. the Travellers threatened. Cocash opened with a ter rife smash for two sacks to left. With none out a man on second and one run needed to tie, it looked squally. But the man who followed hit to Ellam. and Coeash was out at third. After that it was easy.
 Manuel will likely pitch for Birming- ham tomorrow. I do not know whom Mique will send to the slab. He hasn't divulged this dark secret from behind his darker mustachios.

PITCHER ALLEN
 GOES TO ANNISTON

Anniston, June A-(Special) 1.-The Ala oama Presbyterian college has won out over the Detroit Americans, and instead of trying out as a professional pitcher next year, Frank Allen, the all-round athlete, will have charge of sports at the local college. brother of Allen Is a member of the college faculty, and au- thority for the denial that Allen has closed the contract with the Detroit pro- tessionals. Allen has been identified with athletics at the s. P. U. for several years, and last year he made an excellent record with the Tuscaloosa City Baseball club, losing his only game against the Anniston team' which was composed largely of Au- burn players His addition to the college faculty here is considered to be valuable, and probably means great things for ath- letics at that institution next session.

Light Breaks in the West
DOPE ON CURRENT TOPICS

 ner who has been racing along since the pitcher drew back his arm, hears second as the ball is hit, and is enabled to reach third before the ball is helded. If the hit is a long one and the runner speedy, the chances of scoring are good, while the batter often reaches second on the throw to the plate.
 There is, at the present time, no more reason to figure the Barons down and out than there was before the beginning of the trip, which is proving disastrous.
 In fact they have done as well on the present western trip as any other team of the sunshny b-division And the odds that the Little Rock series, the first game of which has been won, will fall on the right side of the ledger
 As stated some time ago. a few heavy hitters are needed on the team, because several of those who were considered swatters among the number being Moles- worth himself, have consistently failed to hit the ball. Then a little more team work must be inculcated The catching department is not as able as we figured in the beginning. But the Barons are not hopeessly out of the fight.
  this time last year was but few points higher than where the Barons are today.
 The association must get busy. Moles- worth must endeavor to devise system of play, and stick to those plans If the men are a little nervous they must get on their feet again.
 The team will be home Monday for four games. After these the eastern trail will be taken for 10. Then the boys return home for long series every team in the league save Atlanta coming to the "slag"
 If we get busy, and let no opportunity to procure stronger material slip by, it Is possible that we will finish higher than seventh place.
 The pitchers are going nicely, and as was pointed out some months ago, good pitchers are three-fourths the battle.
 Those of the association who are most active had a little consultation In the office of a railroad man yesterday morn ing The meeting was secret, and hoth- ing of what occurred was given out One of those who participated shook his head gravely when it was asked if the meeting had occurred The three, however dis cussed a letter received from Molesworth, The letter. a duplicate of which was read bv the writer. contained nothing of irn- portance Molesworth expressed disap- pointment that McGilvray and Henline were not hitting. The players themselves are also disappointed no doubt. The man. ager himself is not setting the woods on fire with his willow work

CANNED PEACHES
WERE Sent AWAY
PURE FOOD INSPECTOR WOULD
NOT ALLOW TWO CARLOADS
TO REMAIN IN GEORGIA.

ATLANTA, Ca, Pure Food Inspec-
tor P. A. Methvin made two impor-
tant decisions affecting the pure food
law in Georgia, when he ordered two
car loads of canned peaches shipped
from the state and forbade the regis
tration of an adulterated feed stuff
sent here from Tennessee.
Mr.. Methvin was in the yards of the
Central railroad when he espied two
cars which were being emptied. He
Investigated and found that they were
loaded with canned peaches shipped
from Alabama to an Atlanta mer
chant. Confiscating two cases he
took them to the state chemist for
analysis. On opening them it was
found that thirty of the forty-eight
cans were corroded from the contact
between the fruit acid and the tin
in which they were enclosed. He then
ordered them shipped from the state.
The shipment involved loss of SS,-
900 to the merchant, but his pleas
were of no avail for the law had to
be obeyed. The other was no less
interesting. this time it was a feed
stuff and not a food stuff.
A Memphis milling company had
sent to the department of agriculture
for registration a patented feed com
posed of cotton seed meal and ground
corn cobs.
The cotton seed meal was all right
for that is recognized as the cheapes
as well as the best and most digesti
BILE feed to be found, but the corn col
is an adulterant and prohibited b.
the Georgia law from going into an!
feed. Corn cob. ground. is devoiC
of practically all trace of fat and ha
nothing to commend it as a feed,
said the pure food inspector "a
great many western feed houses rea
izing the splendid feeding value @
cotton seed meal use it in their feed
to give a sufficient amount of pr,
tein to come under the law, it bein
recognized that this meal has tn
highest percentage of that most ne
essary ingredient. protein, but thi
it was barred"
