TO PREVENT JUGGLING WITH SAL AIRY LIMIT SEVERAL CLUBS VOTE AGAINST TRANSMITTING CATCHER. ABOUT TRANSFERRING GAMES

Little Rock, Ark, August 4.-(Special.) President Kavanaugh today sent re- quests to all the Southern league clubs to vote on the proposition of transferring the games scheduled between Montgom- cry and Birmingham at the former city. on August IS, 19 and 20, to Birmingham. It will probably be several days before all the clubs are heard from.
 President Kavanaugh states that Henry Meek. the big Chattanooga catch- CT, Is likely to remain blacklisted from organized baseball for some time to come. Some time ago Meek was suspend ed by the Chattanooga club for failure to keep in condition. Last week the Chattanooga club made application for the reinstatement of the player.
 President Kavanaugh has made 1t a rule that where players a.'e suspended for cause, the consent of all of the other clubs must be secured before tho player can be reinstated This Is to prevent juggling with the salary limit
 Today President Kavanaugh stated that enough clubs had objected to the Ie- instatement of Meek to prevent his re- instatement and that there Is every prospect that the catcher will remain suspended for the remainder of the sea- son at least.

BASEBALL FEVER
 RAGING IN ANNISTON

Anniston, August 4-(Special. .)-Inter- est in the fight that Anniston is making to substantiate its claim to the inde- pendent baseball championship of the
 state has reached fever heat, and at the first of the series of games to be played this week with Selma, the largest crowd of the season was present, every availa- ble seat in the bleachers and grand
 stand being taken and many standing
 around the fence
 Anniston and Selma are considered the two leading contestants for the cham pioship, the game Thursday giving An niston six games to Selma's four. Fol
 lowing the series with Selma, however, even though Anniston should take the series, the Free Lances have got to de- fend their title, for Athens and Decatur will be here next week to get the Model Citys goat.
 Another hefty claimant to the anna teur championship is Greenville That team has been challenged by the An nistonians for a series of six games to be played there and in this city during the latter part of the month. All of the teams play fast credtable ball and they are developing some fine timber for the leagues

 his legs revolve toward first base. I yell

ANNISTON WINS ON
 HITTING OF MEEK

Annston, August 4.-(Special )-Contest- ing for the independent championship of the state, Anniston and Selma played a magnificent game on the local field Thursday in the first of a series of three. Frank Sparks, the ex-Philadelphia Na- tional leaguer, was in the box for An niston, being caught by Meek, formerly of Chattanooga Southern league fame. Frank Allen, recently of the Mobile Southern league team, caught by Faulk- ner, opposed him, and the result was a fierce pitchers battle. Anniston won on the hits of Bullard and Meek in the sev- enth. It was the first game Allen has lost since he has been in independent ball. Score. R.H. E. Anniston .........

Chicago, August Aloe Cans, former lightweight champion pugilst. may not live to see bis parents In Baltimore, whither he is hastening from Arizona. Cans was unable to rise from his cot when he arrived in Chicago today, and oxygen was used to maintain the spark of life.
 Physicians accompanying Cans doubted that he would be able to leave Chicago, but he was insistent that they use every device to prolong life till he could bid farewell to his parents.
 His physicians said he believed the effort to reach Cans old home would be fruitless and 1t was improbable the fighter would live longer than today but a start would be made to please the pa- fianf

Where They Play Today
Birmingham at Mobile. Memphis at Chattanooga Atlanta at Nashville. Montgomery at New Orleans.

Mobile. August 4--(Special )-Wagner had absolutely nothing this afternoon and before the superb pitching of J. Fisher, the Barons were doomed
 The Baron slabman, in addition to be- ing wild, was hit often and opportunely. And his support was not perfect.
 swacina deserves more credit for the victory of the down trodden seagulls than any other unless 1t is J. Fisher. The Italian had on his hitting clothes : and three of the four runs hung up by the Gulls were driven over by his mas give bludgeon. His smashing was the feature of the game, unless neat piece of fielding by Marcan can be considered It's equal.
 Maroan's work occurred In the fifth inning. Barr opened with a screaming double to left and went to third on Wlid pitch. No one was out. Berger was then walked. And still no one was out. AL cock followed with a smart smack De- tween first and second. and Marcan bounced on 1t like a cat on mouse Berger in the meantime was running to second and he ran into Marcan and was out The Baron then bluffed Barr back to the third corner, and his throw to first beat Alcock by a nod. It was splendid bit of work, and made the stand fans-there were about 800 of them present-rise up on their hind legs and give forth a cry of praise. Barr never got in, incidentally.
 The Gulls got two over in the first on a couple of hits and walk. The Barons scored soon after. Messenger opened with a fearful smash to center field fence. Murphy was relaying the ball to Barr when he rounded third Barr drop ped the heave, and Messenger. without slowing up, dashed for the plate and landed. But soon the Gulls got next to Wagner again, and Swacina's clean cut drive to right sent two others over the pan The Barons from there on were hopeless.
 Bauer and Manuel will oppose each other tomorrow afternoon. Manager Molesworth, remembering his three-hand- running defeats in Mobile on the occa- sion of the last visit of the Barons, Is very anxious to break the hoodoo. IT the Barons had won all the games they have lost to Mobile, the margin of the Pelicans would amount to nothing.

DOES NOT FEEL SIGHTED
Fairbanks Discusses Refusal Of Pope
to Receive Him.

Rome, Feb. my feelings have
not been hurt in the slightest by the
Vatican's cancellation of my appoint
ment to call upon the pope" said
Charles W. Fairbanks, former vice
president of the United States, as he
busted himself in his preparations for
his departure for Belgium.
II look upon the incident as trifling,"
said Mr.. Fairbanks, "and would have
dismissed it altogether were it not for
the fact that the press has taken up
the matter and thereby aroused a
general discussion. I think I appre-
ciate the position in which the pope
was placed and l am not at all dis
posed to feel resentment over my fail
ure to have an audience with him.
''Were the whole thing to do over
think / would act just as I have. I
certainly would not have paid the
great Methodist church and it's repre-
sentatives in Rome the gratuitous in
suit of refusing to address the local
church after making an appointment
to do SO, merely to preserve what
might be called my eligibility to call
at the Vatican"

PROBABLE
MOTIVE FOR CRIME
Wealthy Chicago Manufacturer
Murdered. Z rs.

Chicago, Feb. 14.-The carelessness
of murderer who dropped a stiletto
guard after hacking to death Charles
Wiltshire, a wealthy glove manufac.
turer, in his own Office, is expected
to bring about an arrest that will solve
the mystery of the killing.
Wiltshire was found dead near his
desk at midnight, his head and body
horribly mutilated with forty wounds:
in some of which the stiletto had been
turned and twisted to make the STAY
er's work more terrible. The furni-
ture in the Office was scattered about
the room and blood was everywhere,
indicating that fearful struggle had
taken place before Wiltshire gave up
his life. $3.50. -..S .sr-s -.-
Detectives who reached the prem
Uses found stiletto guard of fash
ion peculiar to Italians. Within an
hour one of the Investigators, who is
an expert on Italian affairs, had identi-
fed the guard as the property Of an
Italian whose arrest Wiltshire had
caused some months ago on charge
of selling stolen goods
The police are working on the theory
that Wiltshire was slain for revenge
While his pockets were turned inside
out and rifled other money Lying in a
drawer was not touched. Evidently,
too, the slayer remained in the Office
for a time after Wiltshire's death
hacking the manufacturers body.

The friends of both Mr.. Pryor
and Mr.. Maloy are confident that
their respective candidate will be
elected. Mr.. Pryor is making
very aggressive campaign among
the voters of the city and from all
indications he appears to be con-
fdent of victory. Mr.. Thomas
Maloy the present city clerk is
perhaps not making as thorough
canvass of the city as his opponent,
but his friends believe he will be
reelected.
In the first ward the voters are to
choose between William Klein and

ward the fight is on between Tom

third ward has as it's candidate K.
