ing and dancing. and a gift for
everyone, including the stage
hands. made the road people think
OF hame and at the same time
reconcile themselves somewhat to
their being away on Christmas.

kane theater was chosen to be
Santa Claus by virtue of his rotun-
dity and In return for his efforts
he received 10 pairs of suspenders,

The severe rainstorm which came up at o'clock yesterday cut short the auto mobile races at the fair grounds, after three events had been pulled off and two accidents to motor cycles had occurred
 Porter Chambless, a young cyclist, had a narrow escape with his life. He was returning around the curve at che west ern end of the track leading his motor cycle, when the Matheson Six, driven by Earnest Brown, completed it's trial race against time for one mile.
 He was unable to get out of the way with his machine, and jumped out of the path just in time. The car tore the cycle to pieces and ruined two tires, but no one was hurt Gall Joyce was slightly bruised chain broke while on the far side of the track and he was thrown to the ground, but not seriously injured.
 Porter Chambless, on a four-horsepower stock Indian, won the first race, limited to ur-horsepower machines, in Il min utes 40 seconds.
 Bromberg's E. M. F., driven by Kat won the ten-mile automobile race for run abouts, time F minutes F seconds. The Maxwell, driven by Rainbow, was second and made a good showing for a 20-horse- power car. The Petrel car set a fine pace during the first five miles, but did not stand the pace.

Bauer pitched splendidly yesterday ana won his fourth straight game. He had control. which in several other games this season he has lacked. With Bauer gong finely. the Barons' chances of capturing the pennant are much brighter
 The Barons concluded very successtui week with a victory yesterday. seven games were played, and five of the num- Der resulted in victories. When II IS re- membered that the team is on the road the record is a splendid one. Few teams do as well at home. Three of four games were won in Nashville, including the Fourth of July double-header. and two or three were won in Chattanooga. But for a bad break in the luck the game lost in Chattanooga would have been won, TOT Covaleski had an edge on Schlitzer
 Birmingham has played Chattanooga Il games this season, and nine of the num- her resulted in Lookout defeats. This IS . record of which the team and fans may well be proud. Chattanooga has one or The strongest teams In the league beyond all doubt.

BRUSHES PHYSICIAN
 PRESCRIBES BASEBALL

Chicago, July 9-(Special)-For the first time in a year, John T. Brush, president of the New York National league team, saw a game of baseball this afternoon. MT. Brush was present at the West Side ball park when the Giants met the Cubs. Mir. Brush is still unable to walk and was taken to the field in automobile. The automobile was allowed to enter the enclosure and Brush watched the game from his seat.
 This is like getting into action again. said he
 Brush is suffering from paralysis and his doctors have prescribed baseball. They think it will do the sick man more good than medicine.

SOME LITTLE GOSSIP

Siever, late of Detroit and Graham, late of St. Louis, pitched. Both are left handlers, too, and the Barons are not as stout at the stick when sidewheelers fire as when fingers use the r.Sht paw.
 A hard series begins tomorrow, when Birmingham meets Atlantn. Three games are scheduled, and a fourth will be played, this being the play-off of the eleven-inning tie fought out when Bir- mingham was last in Atlanta between Wagner and Johns. Thursday is an off day for Birmingham. Friday. Saturday and Sunday Memphis is played, and this series should be easy. Monday week the Barons open at home against Nashville.
 Chattanooga has a great way of pan ming umpires when the Lookouts lose. As is remembered, when Birmingham was in Chattanooga ou the first occasion, Billy Carpenter was the most unpopular man in Christendom." Now 1t is Rudderham. When one thinks of Rudderham being unfair in the interest of Birmingham and Molesworth one must laugh. Chattanooga got the habit while member of the South Atlantic, and can't drop 1t since emerg- ing from the bushes. The writers might have bluffed Sally umpires, but that little stunt doesn't work in real baseball circles.

SUITS AGAINST STATES.
State Comfy Strong Enough to Dis
courage Raids on North Carolina.
(From the New York Tribune. }

(From the New York Tribun.0
Senator Overman, Of North Caro-
lima, has introduced a joint resoiut-
ion providing for the submission OF q
constitutions! amendment Withdraw
ing the right now granted to State
or q foreign nation to bring suit in
the Supreme Court against State.
Mr.. Overman is not moved alone by
theoretical impulses. He is probably
not especially anxious to carry to an
extreme the earlier success pro-
test against interference with q
States sovereign rights and privileges
by means Of legal coercion exerted
through. the Supreme Court-a pro-
test which resulted in the adoption Of
the eleventh amendment. of the Con-
stitution abrogating the right Of q cit
lien of one State to sue another
State in the Federal Courts. IIe prob
ably Is less interested in enlarging
States rights generally than in pro-
tecting the interests of his own COM
monwealth.
North Carolina is peculiarly SUBJ
ject to litigious attacks on the part
Of other States and Of foreign nations,
since 1t has outstanding a consider
able volume Of repudiated securities,
certain portions Of which are being
pressed by their discouraged owners
on the treasures Of States and for
eign Powers. It costs the owners of
these securities little to dispose Of
them In a way to make them q COL
lectible lien against the State Of issue,
but 1t costs North Carolina a good
deal of worry to defend suits for re-
covery and imposes upon an honor
able and progressive commonwealth
the inconvenience and odium Of ap-
pearing before the world as a defend
ant against a protested note.
The other States may or may not
be willing to oblige North Carolina
by withdrawing from the Supreme
Court jurisdiction which 1t has ex-
ercised for more than century. Yet
we cannot blame the people Of North
Carolina for attempting thus to block
off litigation which has annoyed them
In the past and which will continue
to annoy them II the holders of du-
bious North Carolina securities can
find foreign countries complaisant
| enough to accept gifts of bonds and
then try to make collections upon
In our own country State comfy
seems now strong enough to discour-
age any further raids of this sort.
