Business mil
The past week has been one of the dull
est in business and industrial circles that
Pessemer has seen since the panic. There
has been practically no trade during the
entire week and today was little better. A
fact that contributed to the dullness today
wes that there was only one pay in the
district, which was the United States
Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry company.
Four of the five furnaces In the district
have been shut down and number of
men laid off, which also adds to the de-
preston.
1t is not only in business that things
have been dull but in official circles as
well. Mayor Lewis faced a blank docket
In the mayors court this morning. There
had not been a single arrest on Friday.
Today until o'clock there had not been
an arrest. On Thursday there were but
two arrests. 1t is very seldom that an
absolutely blank docket comes up in court
and the fact caused some comment.
Bessemer Again Defeated
Bessemer was again defeated today to
the tune of to 3. Decatur turned the
trick on the Birmingham diamond.
Fancher pitched the first three innings
but could not find the plate and Tucker
was substituted. Fancher walked seven
men and the game was lost. Tucker
pitched good ball. but the local boys could
not connect at the proper time, which
spells defeat. Smith hurled an excellent
game for Decatur.
1t is the opinion Of local fans that the
team needs practice. They do not play
together and there is but little inside
work. When the team was defeated last
Tuesday fans began to sit up and take
~ oy,I h0r art 49,
Bessemer has good pitcher and one that
with a little practice will regain his old
stride. There is no obviouH reason why
the team should be beaten so badly, and
the fans are perplexed. The boys need
to get together and play inside baseball
If they intend to land the rag. Craig
got a screaming three-bagger In today's
game. which. with the work of Tucker,
was the feature Of the game.
