Mobile, June 15.-tSpecial) )AMobile grabbed both games of the double-bar- reled affair with the Birmingham Barons this afternoon, the Gulls trim ming the visitors in the first game by the score of 1 to 0. while the score at the end of the second contest stood to l.
 The first game was finely played, filled with as sensational plays and as scarce of hits as one could wish to see Moxie Manuel with Raub re- ceiving him pitched the first game against Hickman, who was backed up by Ludwig.
 The Only Run.
 The only and winning run of the game came in the first inning and hap pened in this way: Wheat first up, went safe at first when Bowen threw high to catch him after fielding his grounder, the throw pulling Gygli from the bag. Sentell laid down a nice bunt on which he went out at first and Wheat scampered to second.
 Rhoton struck out, but Thornton, drove a long fly to Henline which the latter misjudged and muffed, Wheat scoring.
 Try as they would neither side could score thereafter, the Barons getting but one man to third base, and this in their half of the last inning.
 In this inning 1t looked like a cinch that Birmingham would tie up the score, but the needed hit was not forth hcoming. Bowen went safe when he beat out hit to short Manuel sac rifced him and went to third when El- lam went out to first. Molesworth tried hard to hit, but fouled out to third, ending a well played game.
 The Second Affair.
 Fleharty and Kane were the battery for the Barons in the second game with Hixon and Ludwig for Mobile, and again Mobile got a run in the first in- ming. Wheat walked and went to third when Sentel1 hit safe through second. Rhoton followed with another hit through second and Wheat scored. With nobody down it looked like several more runs but Fleharty steadied down and kept the locals from scoring any more. In the second the Barons tied up the game.
 McGilvray went safe to first when he hit through short. Gygli sacrificed him and he stole third. Ludwig threw wild to catch him and let him score It was agreed before the second game started that it would go but seven in- nlngS, put at the end or this time the game still stood 1 to l. so an ex- tra inning was entered with the re- suit that Mobile pushed over the win ming tally in their half of the eighth Sentell opened this inning with a cork ing single to right field, Rhoton sac rificing him to second. Thornton skied out to center, but Sabrie produced the hit that won the game, connecting for clean single directly over third.
 Sensation catches by McGilvray and Sentell. the excellent work of the pitchers and the sensational all-round fielding of both clubs served to make these two games two of the most in- teresting and exciting ever played on local grounds.

Dreadnoughts sunk by bombs from the

scouts the idea that sinking warships

danger lies in quite another direction.
Experiments made some time ago In
Austria proved conclusively that from a
balloon all ships are clearly visible at
night. The present main defense of a
battleship fleet against night torpedo at
tack is its invisibility. Aerial scouts will
make it very hard not to be seen. Such
scouts could easily report by wireless
the location of a fleet to destroyers.
OF course the fleet might also have its
dirigibles. which would speedily spot the

fire will prevent torpedo attack. The
only remedy will lie In a better and
more complete net defense than now OBJ

likely to be more destroyers and more

JUDGE ROUADlY SCORES JURY
BRINGS IN REMARKABLY YER
DICT in HOMICIDE CASE
Accuits Wealthy Defendant Ac-
cused Of Being Accessory to
Murder, With Novel Excuse.

AMSTERDAM, n. Y, June 19.-Frank
Denatto, wealthy Amsterdam Italian
saloonkeeper, who has been on trial at
Fonda for the past four weeks for being
accessory before the fact in the murder
of William E. McLachlan of Cranes Hol-
low, In July. 1907, was today acquitted
by jury which handed up one of the
most remarkable verdicts ever rendered
in a homicide case.
The document reads: while in our
minds and opinion we. as men. regard the
defendant as guilty. yet, after consider
ing our oaths as jurors, and carefully
considering the evidence as placed before
us, we cannot find sufficient evidence to
convict, and therefore render verdict
of not guilty"
The jury was roundly scored by Jus
tice Spencer, who declared that they ap-
parently had failed to give full atten-
ton to the case and in conclusion he Or
dered the clerk to remove their names
from the list of available jurors for fu-
ture service.
Victim Had Loaned Defendant
Money.
McLachlan, the murdered man. was an
eccentric and wealthy farmer, who lived
alone and had frequently befriended De-
natto by loaning him money. 1t was
contended that it was for the purpose of
stealing unrecorded evidences of indebted
ness that Denatto sent five Italians to
McLachlans home, with instructions to
also kill him.
Two of the actual participants in the
crime have already been convicted and
another was killed by a feilow-country-
man a few days after the crime, while
the other two have never been appre-
hended.

Gibson was never unconscious. and short
ly after being brought from the operating
room he asked for a cigarette, which was
promptly ordered for him by surgeon.
His case was considered by prominent
surgeons a most remarkable one. The
fact that he was in good physical condi-

with his recovery.
Mr.. Gibson plies his trade as brick
layer every day. He is man of sunny

his competitors are billed to speak he

his machine to the room, then return
for him and carry him in his arms if the
