Two small sons of Dr. Harry F. Higgins of No. 21 FairIaount street, Harold, aged 3, and Paul, aged 4, climbed into the doctors runabout on Tuesday afternoon, while it was stand ing in front of his house, and while playing around the starting mechan- ism. got the car started down the grads at that point, with the younger of the two boys at the steering wheel. Paul, the older, jumped off when the car started, and ran to tell his father, who was resting on a couch in the house. By the time the doctor got outdoors the machine had run about fifty feet, running into the gutter and tipping over.
 Little Harold chung to the steering wheel, and was found under the ma chine, partially dazed from a blow and bruises on his head, but it was stated Tuesday evening that he was not seriously injured.
 Dr. Higgins is at a loss to explain how the small boys could have started the auto, as he had the brake on and the wheel turned into the gutter.
 The machine had a spring broken, the fender bent and a tire ripped.

It is a pracfical certainty, however, that both will fome around. McGilvray gets in shape hlater in the season. It is not believed thaA managerial cares have seriously affected Nplesworth.

 So far, the Barons have practically split even on the road, whereas they have lost more games at home than they have won.

Hitch has come in the Carey deal, and the Scooper may not go to New Orleans. Still there was hitch in the plans to bring Daubert here from Toledo, and Fritz from New Orleans, but both fin- ally went through. Scoopers faithful service may be rewarded by his being given an unconditional release, which will leave him free to sign where he pleases This would give him the power to demand much better terms.-Memphis News-Scim- itar.
 Manager Molesworth, since the return of Bill Raftis to strengthen his inield by playing third, has an awfully fast and accurate infield The Barons are go- ing to do well this season.-New Orleans Picayune.
 Poor old Fritzl The Pelicans never bat behind him. Monday they did not make hit made off Dickson was made by Fritz himself.-Atlanta Georgian.
 And this fellow Dickson was pitching some ball, too. Inning after inning he moved the Pels down in order As fast as one was retired the next one was slaughtered. Dickson had his curved ball working splendidly, and four out of every five balls he pitched were curves. Then his fast ball was breaking nicely, and the Birds were simply not in it. But five of them struck out, and the rest all hit right to the fielders. They were hitting the ball hard enough, but they simply could not land them safe.-New Orleans Picayune
 And right here a little lesson in team work can be taught, and which Is re- spectfully referred to the New Orleans outfield. If either Huelsman or Weimer had run to center field and backed up" Reagan, they could have picked up that hit when it went through Reagan and perhaps cut off run. Reagan does not often let ball get through him, but such things will happen, and had he been backed up 1t would have proved a run saver. A little more team work in the outfield would not hurt-New Orleans Times-Democrat.
 With Pope at short and Champ Osteen at third, the Climbers present their best lineup of many moons. Yesterday the gang worked together like fine machinery.

of if he knows that failure will bring down on his head a storm of unmerited abuse.
 But the people at home are now more tolerant. They seem to realize that there Is an opportunity for the Barons to make good with a rush. and many have admitted the errors of tn cir early predictions.
 So with everything in fine condition the players working together. and the fans boosting perfect work and en- eoura ging the man who falls down-a great ma ajority of the 19 games begin ming today may fall on the right side of the slate
 The Barons have a great opportunity staring them in the face.
 They have a chance to win the pen nanti
 They have an excellent chance to finish in the first division.
 Today, last season, Nashville was next to bottom where the Barons are, and the Volunteers percentage then was practically what the Barons' is to- day.
 In 1906 at this date, Birmingham was in the second division, yet the ides of September found the Barons riding the topmost bough with the pennant cinched and swung aloft.
 So we will all get together this aft ernoon at the park if the rain permits, and the chances are that Nashville will meet its fifth straight defeat.
