Nashville, July Especial -ThC
Volunteers and Barons split honors In
the double-header at sulphur Springs
park this afternoon and put 1t on
each other by not only the same score
but with the whitewash trimmings
Each affair was about as close as a
in the last inning.
The first man up in each of those final
rounds for opposing sides scored the
only run of the game for his team.

ried off the honors for his team, while
Messenger was the handy man for tn G

in scoring the lone Volunteer tally by
the only error of the game Emery al

him when he came up first in the
seventh. Bronkie was safe at sec

Gilvray, he stole third and after Flood
was walked to get at Lynch, he scored
when Stockdale threw Lynch's grounder
to first, beating for home as soon as
Stock dale let the ball go. Ryan had
the ball from McGilvray in plenty of
time to catch the local third baseman
but by a beautiful twisting slide he
completely evaded the Birmingham
catcher and the game was thereby de-
cided In this game both Perdue and
Stockdale pitched fine ball.
Barons Win Second
As in the opening affair there was
nothing doing whatever until the last
round of the second for Manager Bern

men that faced them in rapid in sue
cession. In fact whe Messenger faced
the local manager at the start of the
seventh but one hit had been made off
him. Messenger bumped beautiful
bunt toward first and beat it clean.
His manager was there with the sac
rifice and here Manager Bernhard re-
sorted to the same maneuver that Bir-
mingham essayed in the final inning of
the first game. After Mcbride had flied

CONTINUES SUBJECT or YES
TERDAY'S DISCOURSE.
Excuses Given for Not Becoming
Christians and How to DeuI
With Them.
LECTURES AT 11;t5 O'CLOCK

IL cannot be a Christian in my
present business; there are many
things in the Bible that I do not I'M
Ierstand; am waiting for Gods
call: | am not ready to accept
Christ"
The foregoing excuses of nom
church members were shown to be
without a solid foundation this
morning by the Rev. William 5.
Jacoby in his lecture to his class OF
personal workers at the Auditorium
rink. The subject was a continual
ton OF his theme. Excuses and How
to Deal with Those Who Have
Them"
Mr.. Jacoby said some people say
they cannot be Christians on account
of their business. II Is true. he said,
that some people are forced to work
on Sunday as the period demands
their services. He cited hotel en-
ployes. railroad employs. etc. and
said they may be Christians and re-
main in their Sunday work unless
their consciences overcome them.
Another excuse, he said, given by
non-Christlans is that they refuse to
accept the Bible as whole, because
there are some passages they do not
fully understand. He said some
things are beyond the minds of the
average man and should not be dis
puted.
Oftentimes, he said, people refuse
10 become Christians, saying that
they are waiting for the time when
God will call them. Mr.. Jacoby said
it is conscience and duty to accept
Christ and not feeling. which is not
to be trusted. He said in CONCLUSION.
that those who say they are not
ready to accept Christ are wrong as
God says: Therefore. be ye also
ready for in an hour when you
think not He oometh."

LOST BAG WITH S150
Was Found at Owners Home After
Suspicion That 1t Had Been
Stolen.

a well known business woman ac-
3ompanied by d guest, visited the
Womans Noon Day Rest Rooms the
other day While there she put down
her hand bag containing about $3.50
in money. She Left without taking
the bag with her and did not discover
her loss until some time after when
she instituted a search She remem-
bered having had the bag while at the
Rest Rooms and called there to look
for it, but no one had seen it, Every
one who had been in the place was
naturally placed under espionage. par
'icularly a grocer's delivery boy. Chief
CoweIl was summoned and put the
sleuths of the force at work. Many
inquiries were made and those under
suspicion were naturally embarrassed.
For the information of such persons
1t is well to say that the purse was
found. The lady who had accom-.
panied the owner of the bag had
picked up both of the bags intending
to hand the other lady hers on the
way out, but forgot to do so and took
it to her hosts home and placed 1t on
her bed, not knowing it contained SO
valuable package.

It was suggested that by an agree
ment between the two companies the
two companies might use one track
jointly on that portion of the avenue,
but this also would be dangerous
perhaps more so than the crossings
would be.
The Traction Co. presents legally
strong objection on its own account
in that it has but one track now on
the avenue, and can not be assessed
for two under the law. 1t is claimed
by the city authorities that the ordi
nance was so drawn in this respect.
because by verbal agreemnt with
former General Manager Fischer who
said the company would be prepared
to put down the second track when
ever the street was TO be paved. This
agreement, II ii was made, is not ac-
cepted by the present management OF
the company, which claims that the
business will not call for two tracks
for some years to come. The com
panys franchise ordinance gives 1t a
right to put down the second track at
any time in the period for which the
franchise is granted. and requires that
when ii does so it shall refund to tho
property owners the proper proportic
of the cost of paving the street TIL
company claims II will cost $4,000 &c
pay for it's share of the paving for
one track, and the reconstruction OF
this track to suit the changed condi-
Ition of the street; and this is all il
can stand 1t does not oppose the i'm
provement of the street, but objects
only to being forced to put down and
pay for second strack at present,
which it does not need
There is reason to believe that all
this trouble could have been avoided
somehow, if conferences had been
held between the city officials and rep.
of the railroad com
panies named The Commercial ave
