STANDING OF THE CLUBS
By William J. SIattery

McCredie and his Portland Beavers
got into the game on the Oakland lot
yesterday afternoon with the Com
muters for the first time this season
and the echoes Of the southern riot,
which these webfooters are charged
with having started on Sunday, re-
sounded in the seventh inning. Pitcher
Graney tried 10 worst Umpire Me
Greevy in a verbal combat. but the
Indicator man rousted him. For a
moment it looked as though the con-
test would be transformed into a
Donnybrook affair. but peace was re
stored Al last in time for Oakland to
make five runs and break up the game.
There was little or no class to the
contest Both teams played sloppy

stealing the game awsy-from him. But
their rally did not last long enough
and the day was saved for the trans
bay bunch
with the score TO , in Oakland's
favor. Carroll opened up the seventh

When he failed to deliver the sphere
McGreevy called a ball and then an

him out of the game Graney insisted
on prolonging the argument and he

More rowdyism marked the opening
contest of the series of the Oakland
and Stockton teams of the outlaw
league yesterday at the Grove street
park, and before the first inning had
elapsed Umpire Jack O'Connell for
feited the game TO Oakland owing to
the hoodlum tactics of the Slough City
bunch. The spectators were disgusted
a the rough house tactics of Captain
Shay and his men, and many people
left the ball park thoroughly dissatis-
fed.
Captain Shay was mainly the cause
OF all the trouble, but his crew gave
him able assistance when it came to
breaking up the game Right from the
outset il was apparent that the leader
of the Stockton bunch was in scrap
ping mood, for from the time hes start
ed the game by taking his position al
the bat he was ready to argue with
the umpire. The fireworks came OFF
after Stockton had been put out and
Jimmy Smith of Oakland had taken
his place at the bat. O'Connel called
four balls on the Oakland batsnlan
When the second ball was called, Shay
and his men came in from the field
and questioned O'Connell's decision
When he called the fourth ball Shay
was furious and he and all the Stock
tonians circled around the umpire and
pushed and mauled him about. OCon-
nell ordered the men to play ball, but
the upcountry tossers refused to heed
the warning and after eight or ter
minutes of arguing O'Connell an
nounced that the game would go by
default to Oakland. The umpire re-
tired from the field and it was an
an exhibition game.
Umpire Mack took up O'Connell's jot
and the two teams played snapps
game for nine innings. in which oak
land pulled out a winner by a ? to
score.
Manager Cy Moreing of the Oakland
club stated that the tactics used By
Shayin yesterdays game would not be
tolerated and he was backed by two
directors of the Stockton team, whc
witnessed the exhibition. John w
Moore, director of the Stockton clut
who was present, said: Il would moi
have had this happen for $500
J. NJ. Gardner, another director o.
the Stockton club, who was will

and at once imposed fine of $50 or

that the owners and directors of tn,

of the umpires in their efforts to main

In Behalf of Education.

w. E. Stripiin of Gadsden. in charge of a campaign of education for larger school ia acilities, addressed a large meeting in Cullman yesterday and passed through Birmingham for home yesterday after noon
 ''The work in which I am greatly inter- ested at this time,' said MT. Striplin, lis sure to have good results. We are trying to educate the people of Alabama to the pressing need of a law giving the counties the right to assess themselves for build ing school houses and maintaining better schools. The people are showing more and more interest in this great question and I think the next legislature will pass a bill submitting an amendment to the con- stitution providing for county action on the line referred to, and I believe the voters of the state will, be prepared to cast ballots for such an amendment We are endeavoring to interest especi- ally business men and taxpayers in the country in this educational movement. We should organize a conference for educa- tion and the conference should be made up chiefly of business men. Such an or xanization should be made permanent and

Crowds on the Street.

ITO a man who has the welfare of Bir- mingham at heart it was gratifying to see the Saturday crowds on the streets said a member of the Chamber of Com merce last night.
 Tt reminded me of two years ago. All afternoon I noticed the main thorough fares and they were simply thronged There was no change during the evening, and I actually had difficulty in5 making my way along the street
 Tt is easy to account for the large in flow of people. Naturally the weekend rates recently inagurated by the railroads for the benefit of Birmingham merchants has some effect, but to my mind the greatest contributing factor has been the large payrolls of the past two or three days I am told that more money has been distributed this week than in any week since the panic two years ago. After all 1t is the possession of ready cash that makes people come to town. It all looks good to me though and is but another indication that we are now well out of the woods.'

The Teachers Institute

The Ninth Congressional Teachers Institute which began a two weeks session here last Monday is not only largely attended but it is perhaps the most interesting and, all in all, the most irritable in a practical way that has yet been held. Teachers and superintendents make a total enroll ment of about 450
 While the district institutes are, as their names imply, intended especially for the benefit of the superintendents and teachers living within the respect i've district boundaries, visitors from counties in adjoining districts are al ways welcome and at this meeting Walker is we'll represented. Indeed Walker county teachers are more num- district Institute this month than are members from one of the counties to the south of us. The visiting teach CTS have taken an active part in the discussions and have contributed no small share to the interest of the occasion.
 Last weeks order of exercises en- braced chiefly a discussion of rural school conditions and rural school work. This week suburban schools will occupy the center of the institute stage. When 450 earnest educators come together and hold daily sessions for two weeks for the improvement of pedagogy it means much for the up- lift of the public through education of the children. Several animating pa pers were read last week and others will be heard this week; but among the most helpful as well as delight ful features of the institute meetings are the round table" talks.
 In no department of high endeavor in Alabama is greater progress being made than in the public school sys- tenn. The teachers receive small pay, even as professional salaries go, but they are, in most cases, in love with their work and their reward is in seeing the good results of their honest and assiduous efforts. All praise for the teach CTS of the Ninth district!

WHAT WOMEN ARE DOING

Among government officials the percent age of women earning $1O0o a year and over is greater than that of the men, Suc- cessful business women may be counted by the score in Boston, and by the dozen in every large New England city.
 These are but few of the straws which show which way the industrial and economic winds are blowing. Women are entering the occupations from the top and from the bottom. It is too late to argue against it or to theorize on it's good or evil effects.
 The old notion that home is the place Tor every woman, and that every woman should stay there, by which some men in their self-sufficiency and with a su- perior patronizing air would dispose of the woman question, has gone quite to pieces, for the old order has changed For the past 50 years the ratio of women en- tering into competition with their brothers has steadily increased, and there is no sign that 1t will diminish until an equi- librium is attained in which absolute jus tice will prevail.
 If in return for their services to society, justice should seem to demand the ballot for women and like pay for like work, it Is difficult to see how these can be de- nied them. The pity Is that they should be compelled to sue for justice

entitled to something better for it's ad-
 ditional high school than the old Paul l Hayne buildings, as serviceable as
 those quarters may be for a grammar
 school. And when the city proceeds to
 establish the southside high school
 somewhere on Twentieth street hand
 some edifice costing between S300,000
 and $400,000 should be reared. anu it should be known as the central high l school for the Greater Birmingham will need and will have within the next few years at least four high schools.
 Ensley is preparing to build s65OOO high school, but now that that city is soon to become a part of Bir- mingham a larger building will be needed there. With the encouragement of school boundaries under the super intendency of Dr. Phillips a larger number of pupils will attend the Ensley high school than would have been the case had the Steel City re- mained outside of the greater city. The fourth high school will be estan- lished in the east end, somewhere be- 1 tween Woodlawn and East Lake.
 Such distribution of high schools at any rate would meet with popu- lar favor It is none too soon for the Board of Education to take up this matter. Pressing school demands may cause temporary plans to be adopted but a. central high school on the southside the present high school on Seventh avenue, north, large and handsome high school at Ensley and an adequate high school for Wood lawn and East Lake will sooner or later be agreed to by the board and will top the great system over which Dr. Phillips presides. When Birming- ham has these high schools 1t is safe to say that no further improvement in that direction will be called for within the next 20 years unless Bes- semer be annexed before that time. With Bessemer brought into the greater city a fifth high school would ! of necessity be added to the juris- i diction of the Birmingham superin- tendent

Many Women Hamlets

Sothern and Julia Marlowe are to star together this year as they did three or four years ago. and their re- repertoire will include Hamlet. There is nothing surprising in this, but some see Julia Marlowe herself as Hamlet. On the nights that Miss Marlowe plays Hamlet Mr Sothern will be seen as the King, an unenviable character surely He can win no sympathy no applaise in that part. But that does not matter, for Miss Marlowe proposes to become another woman Hamlet.
 This cannot be said to be a new departure, for the stage has held many actresses who had essayed the role of the Prince of Denmark. Surely Sarah Bernhardt will be recalled, and so will Charlotte Cushman, although the Ham let of neither became popular Fanny Wallack also played the part, as did Clara Fisher, who was one of the greatest of American actresses.
 There is no reason why a woman gifted with a deep rich voice and who is an actress in very truth cannot pre- sent on the stage the irresolute dream af, rbr, hn O,tf Of int nd who imagined he was born to set it right His tastes were those of a scholar, and circumstances threw him into a world where he got the worst of it. To say that Miss Marlowe can not put before us a man of a sem sitive temperament and of high gifts, a man who was student and philoso- pher an academic man out of place in a hurly-burly world, would be to underrate her histrionic powers. She may easily meet Ophelia's description of her lover when she thought him unstrung. This Is Ophelia's lament: "Oh, what a noble mind is here over
 thrown!
 The courtier's, soldiers, scholars, eye,
 tongue, sword
 The expectancy and rose of the fair
 state,
 The glass of fashion and the mould
 of form,
 The observed of all observers, quite,
 quite down."
