be noted is that Venus, the lady

gard for the rights of others; a
man in whom all the peop'e will
have confidence"

Madame De Thebes, the great
French prophecies, had this to say

it all on the planet Mercury:

America! She has seen her best
days, and they will never como
back any more see nothing bur
anarchy, defeat, ruin and bloody

SALLY" SERIES
 IN SERIOUS ROW
 IS TERMINATED
TROUBLE CREW FROM EFFORTS OF BOTH AUGUSTA AND CHAT TANOOGA TO PLAY NEWLY AL CURED MATERIAL.

Chattanooga, September 10.-(Special)- The Chattanooga Baseball club issues the following
 Under orders from President w A. Jones the second game between Augusta and Chattanooga in the post-series for the South Atlantic league pennant was forfeited to the former club this after noon.
 President Jones today declared yester- days game thrown out from the records, and ordered it to be played over The Chattanooga club owners tonight an- nounced they would not participate fur ther in a series with Augusta, and will carry the matter to the league directors
 Two weeks ago, when Chattanooga and Augusta were fighting for the second di- vision pennant, President Jones allowed Augusta to secure Outfelder Viola from Jacksonville. A week ago he allowed the Columbia. At this time President Jones made the following statement to President Andrews in the presence of a newspaper man:
 Augusta has secured two new players lo oli iCi6 tllGI up IOI tlle 1l0dl StTl6S. They have started this business Chattanooga can do likewise"
 The Chattanooga owners had no inten- tion of following this course. however, and Manager Dobbs stated he was willing to go in the fight without any outside help. Later however, Pitcher Gaskill was poisoned and sent to the hospital, Pitcher Mckenzie was i'll and went to his home in Cleveland O., and Pitcher Kennas arm weakened and he could not work. This left Chattanooga with but two pitchers, and the management was forced to get some outside help.
 On Thursday morning, September 9. at a conference in the Hotel Patten, Presi- dent Jackson agreed that Chattanoofa might use whenever it pleased. Man ager Castro said he did not care what pitchers they secured, and expressed the especial desire that they use Pitcher Ross Helm, who was reported to have joined the Chattanooga club. Manager Dobbs put Helm In the box and he shut Augusta out. letting them down with three measly hits, and Chattanooga won, to 0.
 At the hotel Thursday night the Au- gusta players agreed to disband. and Man ager Castro offered his resignation to President Jackson. It was accepted and Tom Carson offered the position Carson refused, stating that the boys had dis banded After this. and for reasons prob ably best known to himself President Jones declared the game of Thursday thrown out, and said that all other games in which the newly acquired play CTS participated would be forfeited to Au- gusta. When the Augusta players heard that they could win by forfeit they de- cided not to dfsband. and Manager Cas- tro withdrew his resignation
 Chattanocga does not propose for Au- gusta to use additional players and not be allowed the same privilege

THE FANS WERE PLEASED

The reappointment of Manager Moles- worth was popular move
 Throughout the city yesterday the asso- citation was praised for having done the proper thing. Molesworth was congrat- ulated on every hand. and received the hearty wishes of practically all the fans
 And yesterday afternoon at the park, though the crowd was exceptionally small. the applause which greeted Moles- worth on his first appearance at bat was a sincere expression of unanimous satis- faction.
 And Molesworth appreciated the action of the association He realizes more keenly than any other that he has not rels, and that the association made known the fact that he still retained its confi- dence gave him great pleasure.
 While he did not go to the extent of asking for reappointment, he nevertheless deeply appreciated the honor.
 Molesworth leaves Sunday on a scouting expedition. Today's game will be his last this season, 1t is probable
 On account of the late hour of his ap- pointment he will be handicapped by the fact that practically all the minor leagues have closed. However. he is going to see some players in action, will interview sev- eral well-known scouts, will implore the favor of a big league club or two, and visit the home towns of several prospec- tive candidates
 Several new pitchers will have to be se- cured for next season. Several catchers are needed, too, and several men to fill up holes on the infield
 And when The Age Herald made the statement that the association would erect a grandstand for next season the old town thrilled with satisfaction.
 The old barns days are numbered at last, and when the spring returns a beau tiful structure will be ready to receive the fans. The ground, it is understood, is nearer the city of West End than the present park is. The plans will be drawn immediately and will call for a modern building with all improvements and con veniences.
 And that next spring there will dawn

GAM Es TODAY.
GAMES OUNT. Memphis at Birmingham. Little Rock at Nashville. New Orleans at Atlanta Mobile at Montgomery.

The only bright spot of yesterdays game between Birmingham and Memphis. which the former won by a score of 2 to 3. was the all-round, excellent work of Noah Henline.
 On the offensive he made two hits out of four trials, scored two runs and stole two bases
 On the defensive he made more than one fine catch. and his sensational fielding of line hits out of several runs in the fifth inning. O'Leary opened this inning by smashing one viciously to left It looked good for two or three bags, but Henline, stopping the ball with one hand, and throwing to second, cut away all extra sacks. After Wheeler had flied out to right, Quiesser smashed one to left, which was as long and as difficult to handle as that of O'Leary. But Henline got this one, too, on the first bounce, and O'Leary was held at second. Then Baerwald flied out to center. Daubert thereupon stung one to left, and Henline, though he failed to catch it, made an effort which was sensational within itself.
 The secret of the Barons' success was the bum arm of Quiesser. But for dar- ing and reckless base running, and poor work in getting men on first down to second, the Barons might have made dozen runs. Manuel, himself, was hit hard but was able, when the visitors be- gan to threaten, to check them by calling into play his reserve strength.
 Both teams scored in the first. Baer- wald opened with a double, was sacrificed to third, and was scored on single by Shields.
 Henline opened by doubling to center. He was sacrificed to third and stole home. Quiesser throwing the ball to the grand stand.
 In the third the Barons got four Lar sen opened with a do9ble to center. Manuel sacrificed him to third and was safe on Quiessers wild throw to first. Manuel then stole second. Henline singled through Baerwald and Larsen and Man uel scored. Molesworth's beautiful drive to left center scored Henline. and the manager came across the pan on Me Gilvray's timely swat.
 Marcan opened the fourth by walking but went out stealing. Raub followed by singling, stealing second and third, and scoring on a fielder's choice in favor of Manuel.
 In the firth O'Leary, Quiesser and Dau- bert hit long singles and that only OLeary scored is due to the fine fielding of Henline.
 In the sixth the awful bombardment by the Memphii continued. Cfanston opened with single, and before the side was retired OLeary and Wheeler followed suit Cranston scored.
 The Barons' seventh score was made by Larsen in the seventh. He opened the Inning with beautiful drive to left, was sacrificed by Manuel, and driven home when Ellam cut loose a luscious double to right.
 Heavy swatting by both teams and three double plays to the credit of the visitors were unusual features

GRAsSELLI TO BEsSEMER.
Secretary Nail Intimates Strongly and Talks Straight.

Sporting Editor of The Age-Heraid:
 Dear Sir-Bessemer has had consider able to say through your columns as to why Bessemer would and Grasselli would not win the City league pennant. If you will do US the kindness to run tnls, we offer the following as forecast or what we think about it.
 Refarring particularly to what Bessemer had to say in Tuesdays issue, in the Bessemer news column, we are In the dark completely as to how they arrived at, their deduction They. say, Tn sup stance. that Grasselli will lose the re- naming two games to play to the Y. M. c. A. and that Bessemer will win from both Woodward and the Y M. c. A. We would here call their attention to the league standing from the beginning to this date.
 Now unlike Bessemer, we feel that the V M. c. A is just as apt to win from Ressemer as from Grasselli, and were it not for the fact that a certain game re- gently was called "on account of dark, ness'' In the eighth inning, with the Y. M C. A. at bat and Bessemer up in the air that the tie game to be played off would already be tucked away by the V M c. A. and Grasselli still in the lead by one game f
 Grasseli realizes that the double-head- CT to he played with the Y. M. C.. A. on Saturday will be a battle royal, and if they win. it will be by clean ball playing, and they feel that they are almost certain to win one with good chance to take them both.
 Bessener has got to beat Woodward Saturday and later play of the Y. M C.. A. tie. and we are not stalking any odds that they will win either one.
 Tn the event Grasselli and Bessemer tie which may happen. they will play post season series of three games, and all we've got to say is, may the devil take the hindmost.' Very truly

a new baseball era in Birmingham looks certain
 Augusta and Chattanooga have behaved like two overgrown boys.
 Theoretically, neither team should have attempted to use any player other than those used throughout the season.
 In other words the rules which gov ern the championship series between teams of the National and American leagues should have applied in this case. It did look a little off color for Chat tanooga to step down te Columbus and borrow Helm, Eyler and Demaree. al- though the new material acquired by Augusta in the week before might have served as an excuse
 However, the fact is that the post season series resulted in farce, and a comical farce at that. Those at the head of the league are to blame. and should offer some good explanation of why things were allowed to trickle into channels of putrifaction or resign.
 After today Roy Ellam leaves for Gin cinnati.
 It seems that Clark Griffith is very anxious to give all his recruits a trial be- fore the conclusion of the present sea- son.
 He has wired several times for Ellam and the association determined to send him ahead
 Of course, the position of the team makes it possible to dispense with the services of Ellam, although were the Barons in the fight he would not be per mitted to leave. And by granting Griffith favor in this respect the Barons might be favored in return some of these days to come.
 Ellam developed very rapidly this sea- son-his first in respectable company and today, in fielding, 1t is certain that he is head and shoulders above all the other shortstops. It is believed, too, that he will learn to hit, although his Ssht stick work may handicap him next sea- son.
 Birmingham has no string attached to the young feilow-the mores the pity. Grant Schopp pulled up the stake to which he was attached yesterday and left for his home in Kansas.
 Grant is a good fellow. and pitched some mighty fine ball, but he just couldn't win.
 It is probably goodby for good.

EGAN IN THE FINALS

Gardner squared the match at the fif- teenth hole and won on the thirty-fifth and thirty-sixth in par fours.
 But the Egan- Evans match attracted the gallery and the 500 or 700 golf en- thusasts were well rewarded.
 Evans, who was apparently hopeless ly outclassed in the morning play. made one of the gamest uphill struggles in the afternoon ever seen in a national tourna- ment.
 Three times Evans squared the match. the first time at the twenty-third hole; again at the twenty-seventh and again at the thirty-second.
 Egan. who twice has carried off na- tional championship honors. is the favor ite in tomorrow's match with Gardner as Egans golf with the exception of the disastrous nine holes this afternoon has been of championship calibre.
 Gardner who Is captain of the Yale track team is only 19 years old and has never before been prominent in golf tournaments.
