Yesterdays game, won by the Peh- cans 8 to 1. hinged upon one decision made by Umpire O'Brien in the eighth inning.

But obrleh saw none of this.
 Work of Robinson.
 As A matter of fact the Pelieans de- served no score in this inning, and the  each aggregation having the same num- Der of runs At that. the Barons de- serve no credit, for they were able to get but one measley little run out ot Il hits!
 It was the first appearance Of NC Cain Robinson, and while the young fellow did well for first appearance he did not twirl the game of which he is capable. He was hit hard, and sen sational catches by Molesworth saved him on several occasions. And then he was rather wild, too. But he showed that he possessed that steel bound nerve which is all important, that ability to field his position in splendid style, and that teetness of foot which is of incalculable value and a perpetual meance to the enemy. Robinson will do.
 The Run Getting.
 The one run which the Peicans de- served came in the fourth inning, and was due to custom of Roblnson's to pitch the first one over straight. Well someone had tipped Dexter, and he swatted the hide over rightfeld fence It cleared the enclosure without a particle of effort, and Dexter trotted around amidst the applause of those who had risked their all on the out come.
 The Barons run was scored by Hen line in the sixth inning. After Gygli was out, Henline singled to center ana

MoIesworth's Sensational Fielding.

The Barons should have scored in the third Robinson, opening, beat out a perfectly placed bunt to the infield. Ellam singled over second and Moles- worth's beautiful sacrifice sent the two to third and second. Raftis, however, hit to pitcher and Robinson went out at the plate. Ellam, who started late, was thrown out at third on the same play. As a matter of fact, neither man should have moved on Raftis' hit, and by no means should Ellam have been tagged at third.
 Robinson yielded five hits during the engagement one being a homer and another a double. No two, however, fell in the same inning, and the Pelicans deserved but a single run. On the other hand Fritz was vulnerable, the Barons stinging him Il times. But in the ma jority of instances the ping ling occurred after two were down.
 Molesworth's sensational fielding was the feature.
 Raftis complained over O'Brien's butch herring in thu eighath and was put out of the game and fined.

Sporting Ne1Os

The visiting team generally gets the better end of the umpiring and when word is returned to Birmingham that the day was lost on account of bad de- csions there is generally a sarcastic smile.
 But when the hurtful rulings are per petrated beneath the very eyes of the fans, then there is a different story. Then it is that the mob spirit flares to the fore and stays there.
 Some time ago Birmingham lost a game to Nashville which would never have been lost but for an erroneous ruling of OBrien.
 At that time the blood of the fans reached the boiling point and had there been a leader 1t is feared that mob law would have reigned in Birmingham. Af- ter that game it is worthy of note, Third Baseman Moves of Nashville, who made the play in question, stated that Moles- worth was safe, and, therefore, O'Brien in error.
 Now, yesterday afternoon a very ques- tionable decision-questionabl in this in- stance being the politest term imaginable gave New Orleans the run that won the game. A moment later in the same inning Huelsman blocked Larsen attempt ing a double and Weimer scored from third. OBrien, to the charitably inclined. did not see this play. If he was a wit nes to the farce he was wrong in with holding the decision which would have closed the inning without recording Wei mer's tally.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-06-06

Never in recent years have the fans been more demonstrative in the expres- sion of their anger than yesterday aft ernoon.
 For half an hour epithets of every known sound and meaning; misses that scar the skin of the gentle and sensi- tive; anathemas that caused those who heard to shudder, were defiantly hurled into the throat of the big arbiter of play.
 The smokers and bleachers were seeth- ing in their passion and had there been a leader the afternoon would not have closed without bringing to pass the most horrible chapter in the history of little old West End.
 Had one man leaped through the net ting and climbed upon the stalwart frame of O 'Brien a hundred would have followed. Players-Barons and Pelicans

pearance, OF tie fields more especially
as the weaker ones have been aban-
doneu. In the south where stand was
promising early Yields will not be as
large as anticipated as heads AMI
stands are below normal Western
counties-F'ields are so uneven. ragged

about the smallest Ohio has raised for
many years. Reduced acreage is one
of the primary causes
Ind1ana-Souther counties and a
few central ones are still promjsin,-
and while the condition of the state
may be raised, yields will fall low in
the aggregate as there is such a large
percentage OF the state unpromising.
Illinois-Central counties have the
best promise. Here also there are
numerous fields so poor it will reduce
the general average. Southern county

river bottoms the larger area is very
poor. Many counties with large acre
age will run from to 10 bushels with
considerable almost worthless

will be larger for the area seeded than
those east of the river. The central
eastern counties, two counties in the
southeast and five counties in the
southwest will probably exceed last
year, while central, northern and some
OF the river bottoms Will have a lower
average than they have had for many
years.
Inconsistencies frequently has had
failures in some portions of the state
while other parts of the state had large
yields. This year is an exception. There
is no good average in any part of the
state excepting few northeastern
counties where the acreage is small,
while there is more than a usual por-
ton of its acreage which can almost
be called a failure.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS in this state
are exceedingly unfavorable. A small
area in the eastern section is fair but
northern and central counties poor,
stand thin and short, will be a difficult
crop to secure. The western and south
western counties which gave an early
promise may now be passed as almost
worthless.

company for their lots east of the cor
ner on Tenth street for $4,000. These
agreements gave the city the Tenth
street corner with a frontage on jack

The old stone school house standing
on the school house site can be sold

has likely secured the site without any

from the old school house is not sold
the $500 will be quickly raised by
popular subscriptions.

Dogs Must Be Muzzled in Order to

Washington, June AT the annual
conference of state and territorial
health officers with the United States

vice it was declared that rabies fire.
quently is contracted from the bites of
skunks, wolves, and other wild animals.

scented a large chart showing the geo
graphical distribution of rabies in each
of the states
DR.. Kerr said public opinion was be-
coming rapidly educated to the necessi
ty of muzzling dogs as the only GER
tain way of overcoming the disease
The general conclusion of the confer
ence was that it was quite as reason
able to require the muzzling of dogs
as it was to prohibit the free roaming
of cattle and horses in the street. a
motion by Dr. Bennett of Colorado
providing for the appointment bv Sur,
geon General Wyman of a COMMITTEES
to consider the question of the preven-
ton of rabies and report to the next
