As far as the Barons are concerned the invasion of the east by the clubs of the west is a thing of the past.
 The Barons did not do so well, inas- much as they lost a majority of the games played.

l bore the proud old Roman to Mother Earth.
 This roofing business is a tremendous aid in time of trouble. It gives the home team pepper, determination and en- ! thusiasm. It gives the visiting team "cold feet"
 Let's keep it up when the team returns. There is no reason why we should not get into the first division.
 Nashville finally won from Mobile and Little Rock got a victory over in Crack erdom.
 And it was time they won. Mobile had previously made monkeys of the-Volun- teers in three straight games, and At lanta had done likewise with the clan of Mique Finn.
 And Montgomery took the measure of the poor Memphii in a doubleheader. Both games were close, and one went into extra innings. But still, Memphis came out at the small end of the horn.
 Had Umpire O'Brien carried out his part of the programme, the Barons would probably have won three games from the Peieans.
 The Barons were hitting Fritz harder than the Pelicans were hitting Robin son.
 But for a decision which everyone con- demned, Birmingham might have won that first game.
 Incidentally, O'Brien is receiving se- we're criticism from every corner of the circuit Since his appearance Saturday he has not made base decisions in Bir- mingham, but has contented himself with calling balls and strikes. Behind the catcher the fans have very little op- portunity to judge knowingly of the de- cisions. At that, he had his trouble both from Baron and Pelican pitchers and catchers.
 How bravely the Pelicans prayed for rain But 1t wouldn't rain. They con- suited over matters of grave importance of which they had not previously thought. They considered it necessary that each advise Breitenstein as If Breitenstein didn't have more sense than all the oth- CTS put togeL-er. Gus Dundon discov- cred on the spur of the moment, that he had injured his arm, and poor old honest Dan Pfenninger was cajoled into rubbing it vigorously.
 But 1t didn't rain.
 Kane, during the troubles of Raub, has caught splendidly, and during the Pelican series, hit like a house on fire.
 The Barons are playing finely at the present time, and if the stride is main tained, there Is no doubt in the world but that the second division will be abandoned. H. w. R.

The Barons gave old Breitenstein a se- we're beating yesterday afternoon, and in spite of the threatening rally of the Pei leans in the eighth inning, the victory of Birmingham was ridiculously easy and overwhelming.
 The Pelicans were completely shown I'D. and their efforts were amateurish, indeed
 Manuel, until the seventh, was Tn mag nifcent shape In that round, however, he walked Weimer, who later scored on a base hit by Huelsman. In the eighth he had considerably weakened, and seV- eral hits, assisted by couple of CT TOTS, sent four Pelicans over the pan. In the ninth, however, Manuel had re- gained his cunning, and the visitors went out in regular order.
 The Barons' Scores.
 Tn the second inning Henline opened with a double and was driven home by (suecessive hits of Kane and Bowen \ In the third there occurred regular swatfest. Raftis and McGilvray singled in succession, and Gygli beat out a hit to the infield. Henline and Kane then larruped in succession, and three run ners were chased over.
 Tn the sixth the fun reached its height, when a trio of hits, one for trio or bags. sent a trio of runs into safety. After Manuel was out, Ellam douoled' Molesworth was walked. The hit of Raf- tis scored Ellam. McGilvray was safe on a felder's choice, while Molesworth was thrown out at the plate. Gygli then uncorked a luscious triple to deep right, Raftis and McGilvray scoring.
 The final run was scored in the eighth. After two were down Raftis drew a walk. and went to second on passed ball. The third hit of McGilvray chased him home.
 GygIi's Spectacular Play.
 The heavy hitting of several of the Barons featured the game. A marvel ous stab by Gygli of a vicious sting by Weimer was spectacular. Molesworth made a very pretty running catch, get ting the ball just back of second. Bill Raftis, in drawing the fire of Schriver to second and stealing third in the mean time. showed headwork and created much amusement.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-06-10

And now the Barons have gone on a long and arduous road trip. Before return ing home they play II games. After a lone series of three games at home they take to the paths again, and play ten more on foreign soil.
 Practically speaking, therefore, the Barons will play 24 games on a stretch before appearing at West End again.
 It is a hard and serious trip If they go to pieces 1t will be all over. If they hold together, however, there is no tell ing just how high they will go. For after July Il they are at home for large number of games.
 The Barons were confident of making a fine showing on this trip. and were quite gleeful last evening. So far, they have done as well on the road as at West End
 Here is the itinerary as outlined yes terday afternoon by one of our very enterprisng young friends:
 At Memphis-1O, Il, 12.
 At Mobile-14, 15, 16.

 The victory of the Barons yesterday was a happy one for the fans. In the first place. they thought that Breitenstein would be very strong, and had prepared themselves for a long, serious fight with the outcome in doubt.
 However, they got to roofing right at the beginning, and 1t was all off. The Barons leaped upon the stalwart breast of the aged Brett" with both feet and

NEW PLEA FOR DIVORCE.

They are likely to have some curious and interesting laying up New York way, if something doesn't slip a cog, and if the case is pushed we may ex- pect the modern Websters, Calhouns and other constitutional lawyers to tell us things. Mrs. Charlotte Per kins Gilman, so it appears, has been making speeches and lectures about woman's rights and wrongs. and among other things declares that un- der existing circumstances the lot of a wife is that of a slave and a horse, and that her condition is one of in- voluntary servitude.
 Naturally this attracted attention. "A little woman up on West 126th street pricked up her ears" says The New York Globe. Then she began to think, and the longer she thought the more convinced was she that she had an idea. She would bring a suit for divorce, but she would bring 1t on entirely novel and unheard of lines. There was the Constitution of the United States. It declared-why, so very plainly-that neither slavery nor involuntary servitude,' except as a punishment for crime, should exist within the United States or any place subject to their Jurisdiction. What could be clearer than that this pro- vision exactly covered her case? Seamstress, nurse, cook and laundress having one child and the possibility of more, with an income in the family not adequate to the situation-wh o could doubt that hers was a case of involuntary servitude-that, in the words of Mrs. Gilman. she was both slave and horse? So she betook her self to a woman laWyer-or did the woman lawyer first suggest it?-and a suit for a divorce on constitutional grounds is the incomparable result"
 Now. we. repeat. here Is a chance for the constitutional lawyers to get in their work in good shape. If any husband is violating that sacred bull walk of our liberties. the Constitution of the United States. that husband must be brought to book and made | to pay the penalty. Furthermore. if a

TRUTH C;oxrSe OUT.

Evidences continue to accumulate regarding governmental efficiency. or something far worse. during the ad. ministration now happily drawing to close. One of the latest and most astounding developments came out when the Secretary of the Interior confessed to Congressional commit tee that during his administration of the affairs of the general land office approximately one hundred aRd ten million dollars worth of land in States principally West of the Mississippi have been fraudulently acquired with in the past two years by corporations and individuals"
 This" says The Hartford Times. 'fs an astonishing revelation. Mir. Roosevelt has been President of the United States for seven and a half years. During all that time he has been a vociferous advocate of extend ing the power of the government over the business affairs of the American people. He has had as great an op- portunity as any American President can ever have to introduce honesty and efficiency into the public service. Yet he is now placed in the position of owning up that while, in obedi- ence to his wishes, every one of the thousands of government agents in the country, including, of course. the land agents, were hard at work rounding up delegates to the national convention who would obey his wishes, these same land agents were permit ting the public property to be, stolen at the rate of over fifty millions of dollars worth year.
 "This seems to us a humiliatins revelation for the administration at Washington. At the last session of Congress the appropriation for pro- tecting the public lands was doubled. making it s500,00O instead of s2s0,000. Secretary Garfield now asks Congress to double the amount again, making 1t s1,0oe.00e for the next fiscal year. 1 With this money he will be able to employ more land agents and recover good deal of the land of which the government has been fraudulently de- prived. There are over 5o.o00 cases of alleged land frauds now awaiting examination. and a curious feature of the matter is that nine-tenths of these alleged frauds occurred in States where the people are overwhelmingly devoted to President Roosevelt and who regard him as the greatest Presi- dent of the United States that ever lived"
