COTTON STATES
 NEARLY DONE FOR

Jackson, Miss, March 19-(Special.)- J. President Merrill and other baseball en- thusasts of Jackson are up in the air" over the news from Columbus, which is to the effect that she has thrown up the sponge again, and is out of the Cot ton States league for good and certain. In view of the fact that Columbus had but recently been reinstated in the league after her first funk, the second has caused a great deal of disappointment. It was believed the old town on the eastern border of the state was game and that she would remain by her colors this time regardless of whether she had any money in her treasury or not. That's what Jackson has done two or three times But Jackson has some of the gamest sports in the land, and when they have no cash in their till, they put on a bold front, and get out and get it before it is needed.
 The chances are that two or three citi- zens of Columbus had been bearing the burden and that the community failed to come up with the subscriptions that were necessary to place the team in the field Colonel Walter Weaver, president of the Columbus aggregation, has done all that was possible to hold the team together; they are understood to have held mass meetings at which the finest Of promises were made. but when they got out on the streets and appealed to the business men of the community for money and assistance to secure professional ball to their town, they failed.
 Jackson hopes that Selma, Ala, or some other nervy town, will take up the Columbus franchise for the season, and be ready to play ball by April 22.

There is joy in Columbus this morn in.
 Reports last night from the suburban town were to the effect that the citi- zens, overjoyed, paraded the streets and shouted lustily.
 The cause.-the victory of Jim Fox and his foxy boys.
 Score, Columbus 2, Birmingham l.
 The game as a whole, was a good one, although the Barons failed to dis play that aggressiveness that appeals to the lovers of the sport. True, the two wild heaves of Bauer could not be helped in view of the early stage of the game and 1t Is equally as true that no one could hold Schopp responsible for ms vulnera bility in the last two innings of play-because the little sidewheeler was throwing for the first time this year. But the Barons played in a rather list less fashion, although this might have been due to the soreness that their few afternoons of real work have caused.
 Bauer's Wild Heaves.
 Jim Fox's foxy bunch of foxy boys appeared in the acme of condition. They scampered about the field with Wild and joyous abandon, and their twiriers' Ross Helm and young Mcleod, threw with all their speed, and often the sphere after leaving their hands swept sharply fin angles and curves. The Barons, on the other hand, got about more slowly and with less spirit.
 There was another healthy audience seated about the park and the audience enjoyed the sport for the contest was close, and as exciting as an exhibition game could be. The visitors scored hrst' in the third inning. In the first and second Bauer moved them down in easy fashion. But in the third, after two were down. Helm beat out one to the infeld and lille smashed safely to cen ter. Bauer then, in succession scored two wild pitches. and as a result lille crossed the pan.
 The Barons livened ur in their half or the same inning. After two had gone down Bowen was passed He stole sec ond. McGilvray hit to Fox, beat it out and when Fox threw badly to Helm, covering first, the runner went to sec ond and Bowen scored.
 The Visitors Win.
 The game rocked on smoothly until the eighth. In that inning Grant schopp went to the mound and due to the fact that he has had no opportunity to hm- Der up his arm, proved an easy mark lille started off with a single to center. Hale sacrificed him to second. Pigs hit sent the runner to third and Coveney $ safe swat scored him. Fox went out on an infeld pop to Bowen and Stubbe retired the side by grounding to Gygli.
 The Barons could not tie the score in their half of the eighth, although Gygll managed to get in safe binsle and in the ninth the locals went out in one, swo, three order.
 McGilvray's swatting was a feature of the game The peppery outfielder, too. made a fine catch of line drive and completed the first double play seen on the local grounds this season. Mcleod showed good form in the box for Co., lumbus, too.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-03-20

Rufus Molly the Alabama pitcher whom cision of Secretary Farrell, arrived in Birmingham yesterday morning, and saw the Columbus team trounce the Barons in the afternoon.
 Molly states that his statement that East Liverpool did not pay September salaries is true, and that if he has signed a paper to the effect that he received all and young Mcleod, who is just breaking into professional circles. showed ability. Fox's team looks good, and 1t is not certainty that Chattanooga will win the pennant
 It was the first appearance of Grant Schopp in a local uniform. The side wheeler threw his first ball when he tered the box. And still some pulseless fan yelled, Take him out"
 The Barons now have an average of .5O0. Another warm struggle is expected this afternoon.
 The Barons have shown up pretty well considering the lack of practice they have had, and their stiffness from the winter sumbers.
 Noah Henline, the speedy little out fielder should blow in today. By the end of next week all the players will be on hand, it is probable.
 Pat Kane, one of the regular catchers, will probably appear in the lineup this afternoon.
 The loud, clarion voice of Joe Calliope Burke sounded with a familiar ring. Con Welsh says that the voice is all Joe has on him.

Is There a Law to vioIatea

Judge Nesbit of the Ohio county
circuit court has made an important
decision in the matter of registra-
tion and the right to vote at mu-
nicipal elections, which will doubt
less have weight until lie is reversed
by the state supreme court.
Judge Nesbit's decision is that in
municipal election the legal voter
not registered has as much right to
vote as one who is registered. The
effect of his decision is to declare
that registration is not a prerequi-
site to the right to vote at a city
election, and that a person constitu-
tionally eligible otherwise cannot be
deprived of his right to vote at a city
election because he has not been
registered. In other words, the reg
istration of voters for city election
Is not required by the laws.
If Judge Nesbit's decision is cor
rect. there can not be properly and
lawfully prosecutions on account oil
alleged violations of the registration
laws in municipal elections and all
such efforts should be held in
allegiance until the question is defin.
