But the remedy is not c y to find
and it is pure nonsen:. of those
who have not made careful study
of educational problems to sputter
over trivial and superficial details,
when it is evident that there is
something fundamentally wrong.
How to rectify the wrong in just
the right way, is engaging the most
earnest attention of Our profound

We should try to keep in touch with
this advance thought and research,
so that we may not retard, but
assist it's progress. 1t will take
time and thought and patience to

things, but it is coming. Let us
help all we can; hinder as little as
we can keep out of the way, and
try to keep step with every adj

GAMES TODAY.
Little Rock in New Orleans.

BY w. J. EWING, JR.

Nashville, July S.-(Special.) -''Hub"
Perdue was batted freely this afternoon
by the Barons and as a. result defeat was
placed against the Champs. Score 4
to o.
At every turn the support accorded Per-
due was of the listless order, the local
athletes wobbling along from the start.
And then Mr.. Dickson had things his
way at all times. He coughed up but
six hits, well scattered and these seemed
to be given merely as a donation He
got in but one tight hole, in the ninth
inning, but pulled himself out like fly
from tanglefoot.
Birmingham again put up one of those
articles OF ball which go under the name
of brilliant. Working together, hitting
heavily. and running the bases skilfully
they deserved OWN.
The game was far from brilliant. There
were just a few startling plays to en-
Iiven the affair and to make the heat
endurable.
Bowen Was the Star.
DOC" Wiseman did couple of stunts
which helped things along greatly. In
the first inning he made running catch
of Henline's drive which was a pippin,
and then in the seventh he duplicated
the feat by robbing Raftis of a sizzler
to right with a man on base and two
down.
For the visitors Bowen was the shining
light. This keystone holder COPIED a
couple of hits, held three putouts in his
claws and assisted four visitors back to
the bench.
Along toward the ninth Nashville made
a serious ripple toward a score. Bay
had singled and advanced to third on a
repetition by Wiseman. But East flew
out to center and Tonneman struck out
and the agony dissolved itself into an
imitation of broken hope.
Wordsworth, Bowen and Rafts handled
the willow most effectively for the
Barons Gladys woofed a wopsome wang
on three of Hubs scorchers while Bow

pair apiece.
Both the contest and the scoring started
off in a squabble which sounded like
the rebuilding of the Tower of Babel. 1t
