wAssoN REFUSES CHALLENGE.
Law and order League Chairman Pats
 Ban on Debate,


 Huntsville. Sept. 12.--(Special.)-- Rev. s. E. wasson. as chairman of the Law and Order League, has put the ban on the debates that were to have been engaged in here by Senator Rob- ert E. Spragins and Hon. H. s. D. Mallory and Speaker A. H. Carmich- ael.
 Challenged by Senator Spragins. Messrs Mallory and Carmichael ac- cepted on condition that 1t would be agreeable to the prohibitionists who invited them here. whereupon Senator Spragins sent to Mir. Wasson the let ters he had received from the gentle men and asked official sanction of the proposed debates. This has been re- fused, MT. wasson's reasons as stated in his letter being as follows:
 "First-Because we are fighting the 'liquor traffic.' the most corrupt power ever known on earth---a financially en- dowed, politically entrenched gloating enemy of God and home and native land, We believe your statement that you are not a pro-liquor man. and. therefore, under the rules of debate won would be at disadvantage, ana we do not wish to embarrass you.
 "Second--Cur arrangements have been made without reference to joint discussions. We do not desire to De a marty to any ractlonAl dhBhheut% personal interests, or political aspira- lions of individual men. Our men nave been invited to speak from the prohi- bitionists' point of view. This would naturally put you in the light of defender of the liquor trafhc.' The entire campaign can be properly en- titled The State vs the Liquor Traffic. and I do not see how we could permit YOU to enter the debate with Justice to yourself.
 "Third--Both MT. Mallory and Speak CT carmichael are prominent members and conspicuous officials in their re- specitve religious denominations. l am assured that you do not desire ito engage in joint discussion with repre- sentative characters of two great churches numbering no less than s40.- 900 members in the State. among whom there are at least So0o0 voters. To some people that might seem that you were antaEonixing the church" Ii will be recalled that Senator spraEins recently declined to enter a series of debates with MT. Wasson be- cause the latter being minister "could not be disassociated from his hirh calling" and Senator Spragins did not wish to be placed in the atti" tude of fghting the church.

Lively sacrtnced him to second and then Paige got busy and struck Daly out. kerwin looked dangerous and Paige walked him to second to stop Kerwin, Raftis being so slow in covering the bag that the runner was safe and the bags full with two down. Paige handling ostsen's hit and emerging from the nole unscathed
 There was hardly anything but Lind- sey in that second game. Guese pitch- cd good ball but the Peiicans clumped the swats on him.
 Both the leaders won In the National and American Leagues. The Tigers came pretty near taking couple, the Browns stopping them In the second game.
 The big German came pretty pitch . ing another no hit game. Greminger's . hit in the second round being the only hit made off him. He will have another chance at Capitol Heights.
 No more matinees this season. but yesterdays was the best crowd that Higgins has ever had--and if Gremtn- ger could have heard the good things Jack said about him in his curtain speech he would have blusned--and ev- erything he said was deserved. at that.
