HE IS FRIEND OF THE POOR
JOHN ARBUCKIE HELPS NEEDY
TO HELP THEMSELVES.
The Coffee King Has a Big Heart

is Never Too Busy to Listen to the
Troubles of the Unfortunate. His
Floating Hotels and John and
Mary ArbuCkle Farm"
Prominent among the worlds
doors of practical good is John Ar
buckle of New York, who believes
in helping people to help themselves.
Although he is a millionaire and
busy business man Mr.. Arbuckle is
never too much occupied to listen
to the troubles of the worlds un-
fortunate ones-the poor No mat
ter who the person may be, deserv-
ing or undeserving, if he is poor he
receives the courteous attention of
this man whose heart is as great
as bis purse and whose aid and in
fiuence are ever at the command of
the needy.
John ArcuckIe is one of the great
coffee kings and sugar refiners, and
is also interested in shipping He
is man with a kind, affable and
CHEEKY disposition, and when the
poor approach him for help and as
sistance he puts them at their ease
and places them in a position where
they can help themselves toward the
goal of material prosperity.
Practical Charity.
During his hours of recreation Mr..
Arbuckle is always planning and
scheming for new methods by which
he can be of assistance to the help
less and the many charitable estab-
lishments now standing to his credit
are institutions of which this broth
er of the poor can feel Justly
proud.
Mr., Arbuckle does not believe in
throwing away money on useless
charities, but firmly believes in pIac-
ing those who cry for aid in a posi-
ton where they can work and be-
come self-supporting and thus more
satisfied with life; and along these
lines he has done probably more
than any other man in America.
Floating Hotels.
Some of his latest schemes for
providing for those who need anothe-
er chance in the battle of life are
two floating hotels and his favorite
farm known as the Mary and John
Arbuckle farm. - OF the floating ho-
tells there are two, the "StamIer" for
women and the "Gitance" for men,
Both these floating homes are beau
tifully equipped, and the guests who
are the poor of a great city are made
to feel more independent by paying
at the rate of 20 and so cents a day.
The lack of finances need never pre-
vent a guest from registering at the
hotel as credit may be had to an
unlimited degree.
The Mary and John Arbuckle
farm" is an institution similar in
it's methods to the hotels.
Plays With the Children.
Every week wagon loads of chill
dren-poor children from the citv
come in for an outing and a breath
of air, and it is Mr.. Arbuckle's

cares of his office and go out to the
farm to run and romp with the chill
dren, who call him by the loving ap-
pellation Grandpa John
The hotels and farms dispense
wholesome and substantial cooking,
and no drinks of an intoxicating ma
ture are tolerated. Mr. Arbuckle
believes in helping those who are re-
spectacle and filled with ambition to
be self-suppOrting and useful. His
ventures in charity have all been
very successful, and he joys in the
honest gratitude Of those he has
helped.

Will Atlanta Mine Explode?

pears above was in the league meeting re- ferred to above. The meeting was a se- eret one, and newspaper men were de- nied the right of attending. On the part of the directors, that move-an innovation was exceedingly foolish. The idea of star-chamber sessions, it is alleged, was fostered in the mighty brain of MT. Heis- man and developed there to set a prece- dent which is unwise.
 VIII the Atlanta mine explode? A live question, that
 Moxie Manuel will work today, and there is no reason under the sun why the Barons shouldn't walk away with the fourth game.
 We are not greedy in the least. but in case Mobile doesn't want the victory we would have no objection to carting it away.
 Tomorrow the Barons move oyer to Montgomery McTigue will open there. according to the original programme. From Montgomery Molesworth takes his men to the bayous of Louisiana to meet the Pelicans of Charlie Frank.
 Evidently the shrieks of the Reed Birds is music to the ears of the Barons. Other. wise they would have forborne before piling up seven juicy runs. H. W.R.

HIGH SCHOOL WINS
 FROM GRASSELLI TEAM

In the most interesting game played thus far on its schedule the Birmingham High school defeated the Grasselli team on the latter's grounds yesterday by a score of z to 2.
 The Grasselli team held the champion ship of the City league in 1909. while the High school has only an amateur tea m. When the city boys walked on the field 1t looked as though they had no chance of winning for their opponents were much larger. However, they fairly walked all over the chemists. Messer pitched for the High school and did very good .box work while Zielminski starred in sen sational catch near third base.
 The High school will play the Training school at Owenton Saturday and next Wednesday will meet Pratt City on the North Haven diamond

plest tasks. Tommy Stoueh, great per former in his time, was wont to remark in this regard: Give me always the mar who makes errors and the perfect mar you may keep yourself"
 It begins to appear after all that Man ager Molesworth will have to tread gin gerly in selecting his twirling staff. Wagner looked good the other day wheI he faced the Climbers, although in ont round they did get next to his tenderesi parts. He was steady. however. and on his face there never came an impress sion of despair. Then Manuel is a first class performer Fleharty and Bauer are showing up finely. Then Lower in his only Southern league game, was both steady and effective.
 According to the reports, McTigue is the cucumber with a relish, while Grant Schopp, with his floating curves, is steady as an eight-day ticker. And to cap the climax, Mack Robinson will turn up about June and in case he fails to get a berth the fans will raise a TOW. And we will be with them, too.
 Three victories in a row is going at a pretty rapid gait. or. in the language Of Loura Jean Libbey, is "amblng along quite nimbly."
 Had the three games been won on our home lot the team would have deserved much credit. But when three have been won in succession on foreign territory g1 eater praise Is due.
 Quite a feat. MT. Molesworth, and we are proud of you.
 The fans of Mobile have never this season seen the Gulls finish a game in the lead.
 Likewise the fans of Birmingham con- corning the Barons.
 Until the three Mobile victories were won by Birmingham the fans were fear ful for the season.
 In Mobile the fans are a little sore. We know how to sympathize. We've beer in the same old boat, thank you

 We have never been so high since those balmy days of long ago past when our efforts were crowned with the highest success. and to the breezes we flung our pennant.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-04-21

It is said that the attendance on the opening game in Atlanta, in spite of the fact that 2 special programme had been arranged. and in spite of the fact that a pennant-raising was in order, was ex- tremely disappointing.
 We have this information from Joseph R. Curtis of the Chattanooga News, who attended the opening game in Atlanta. Curtis intimates. too, that the Atlanta club scattered passes broadcast in order that the attendance might be as large as possible, and the world deceived.
 Between the lines, Curtis is stating that the fans of Atlanta are still exceedingly wroth that one Billy Smith was given his walking papers by one J. w. Heis- man. It has been said that B. S., in view of his success as manager and pennant-winner, was grossly mistreated by the Atlanta management. It is also Baid that the fans are depriving Otto Jordan, in retaliation, of their smiles and patronage.
 And the Commercial Appeal and other papers are criticising J. ". Heisman, the president of the Atlanta club, be- cause of an alleged propensity to cling to the almighty dollar. It is claimed that because a northern firm was willing to print the league tickets a few cents cheaper than a southern firm, Heisman, for the northern firm, secured the con- tract whereas never before were the tick cts printed above the line of Mason and Dixon. Heisman would have escaped without a scratch, however, but for the fact that the northern firm in question did not send the tickets until the open ing day, this fact angrying Judge Kay anaugh and others, who did not hesitate to express their dissatisfaction.
 And there is a little stew boiling be- cause Heisman secured the passage of a resolution al the last meeting of the league directors, the object of which was the saving of shekels for the clubs own CTS. The resolution in question was one favoring the tourist car for travel in stead of the Pullman.
 So it is seen, in case the above is accurate, that the Crackers are on lit- tie mine of internal dissention and dis satisfaction. Touch it off. if you dare, and the team goes to whack. It looks a little hard for Otto Jordan, who, in spite of his quarrelsome disposition, ap- pears meek enough when the smoke oi battle has cleared away.

WITH THE SCRIBES

The Pttsburg club has offered the
 Lookouts Catcher Bridges. the receiver
 the Chattanooga club owners believed
 would be turned over to them, last week,
 when the Pirates were here. In the mean
 time the local club has secured two good
 catchers, and it is not believed that any
 change will be made in the local catching
 department. Manager Dobbs was asked
 today if Bridges was wanted q don't
 know that he is,' said Dobbs.-Chatta-
 nooga News.
 Though Manager Griffith of the Reds
 declares he will not sell Doyle, it is un-
 derstood he has virtually promised to de- liver him to Memphis when all clubs have
 waived. Before he can be sent back to National and every club in the American league must waive claim. If he is se- cured it is doubtful whether Babb will pursue his original intention and play him in left. It is possible he will be put in center until Red Farrell's batting eye rounds to. With Utica last season Doyle batted .255, scoring 55 runs on 107 hits in IA games. He stole B bases. He fielded ss0 in A games at first and 1885 in 70 games in the Utica outfield.-Memphis News-Scimitar.
 When Joe Rickert came to bat in the first inning yesterday he was presented with handsome horseshoe of roses, pre- sented to him by about 30 of his friends and admirers. The crowd called on him for a hit, but Joe delayed getting the bingle until the sixth inning, when a hit meant score. It would have been vast | ed the first time he came to bat.-Chatta- | nooga News.
 About 10000 or Il. 900 persons witnessed | the opening game of the Southern league season here yesterday. The turnstiles reg istered $500 paid admissions, there were about 200 ladies' tickets counted, fully that many went in on special tickets and passes, and 100 or more passed through the gates in the parade-Chattanooga News.
 President Frank Coleman of the Mem. phis team, who sat in the box with of. | ficials of the local club said that the | crowd looked to be the largest he had | even seen at Southern league game | Chattanooga Times.

seen behind the bat in a long while Sid- ney Smith of Atlanta is the only catcher in the Southern league that can measure up with Elliot. Elliot is Q true thrower, and is on the job when it comes to hitting the pill.
 There's all the difference in the world between the Baron team of last year and the present one This years bunch is composed of live men, mostly youngsters, chucked full of ambition and fighters from the beginning to the end. Catcher Elliot is a tower of strength to the team and his effective begging prevented Mo bile's running wild on the bases. His great headwork was of invaluable assist ance to Lower, youngster, after getting a poor start, steadied down and worked the rest of the game like an old Cy Young.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-04-21

Manager Molesworth. in the parade yes- terday afternoon, was honored with a seat in the carriage with Acting Mayor Francis J. Inge. He is gentleman of the first school and there were many former Birmingham rooters on the stand that were glad he won the game.
 "Gladys" Molesworth has improved his team about 90 per cent over that of last year In 1909 his team was something a little short of joke, but he has got a good team this season.
 There was no way on earth for Lower to take an airship route in the ninth in- ming yesterday. When he showed signs of going over to the Wright brothers con- cern, Catcher Elliot pulled him from his chase and steadled him as If 8 church steeple. Good pitch, this Lower.
 Catcher Elliot of the Barons is the best

Mobile, April 2O.-(Special.) .)-The Barons this afternoon took the third straight game from the Reed Birds.
 They started after the Mobilians in the first inning and continued to fatten their batting average until the end of the ninth.
 Billy Neal, Reeds Rock Island pitcher, who has been stopping both majors and Southern leaguers. was easy for the Bar ons. They went after the spit balr' hurl- CT and continued to drive the ball to all corners of the diamond until Neal was relieved by Chapel1e in the fifth inning.
 Chappelle with all his speed was unable to check Birmingham. He fumbled Molesworth's grounder, but threw out Gygli at first when the latter placed one in the same place. McGilvray, who had already doubled on Neal, cleared the bases with another beautiful two-base drive to the left field fence. Chappelle seventh The big fellow was wild, and Mobiles crippled infield seemed unable to help him in his distress.
 Finally errors began to come and from that time on the game was farce. About the only thing in the way of criticism of Birmingham's game came in the first. in- ming when poor base running cost them at least one additional run. The Barons made up for this, however before the game had gone another inning. The in- field showed very fast. The outfelders throughout seemed to study every bats man. and it was seldom that Mobile hit ters could land in a safe place.
 The pitching of Bauer brought forth considerable applause from the Mobile fans. He yielded but four hits and suc- ceeded well in cutting his corners. He was most effective when in tight places The work of Catcher Elliot made hit with Mobilans, many of whom believe Molesworth has picked up one of the greatest catchers in the circuit. His peg ging arm more than once blasted the Reed Birds hopes of breaking up the game.
 Because of the cool weather and wind that blows right into the faces of the fans, the attendance is small.
 Mobile. April 20-Birmingham this aft ernoon won the third straight game from the crippled Mobile team, three of the lstter's players being out of the game with bad knees and ankles There were many errors during the course of the game, mostly due to players being used at strange positions. The Barons, how ever, could have won on their hitting. Score:

Oi"e more the merry Barons sink the lSibosh into the qulvering flesh of the Reed Birds
 For the third successive time Birming- ham walloped Mobile yesterday after noon. The fans who heard the detailed story at Commodore Oreutt's matinee were jubilant.
 If the Barons keep up the present stroke a warm reception will be theirs when they turn their faces homeward again Some reckless sport has already engaged a brass band.
 Lou Bauer was the Baron's twrler. He was in good shape, and had no error been made would have scored a clean shut out. His splitter broke nicely, and in the main part his control was good.
 When Bauer has control there is no way of defeating him. He has received very few bad beatings in the Southern season. If he doesn't stick it's his own fault.
 He says he will stay, and he has made a good beginning.
 Bauer states that he will quit playing baseball before he will return to the Texas league.
 Why they don't know the first prin- cipals of the game down there,' said he to a gathering of his fellow players. "One afternoon a batsman to whom l was pitching had three balls without a strike. laid one over. naturally. and the ignor- pt fa1I fad r. ha swore then and there that if l ever got out of that league I would never get in it again.
 The Barons have stung the ball in the home of the Reed Birds. Monday eight hits were rung up, Tuesday nine was the number and yesterday the greedy fellows rapped out one dozen, several of them being for two bases.
 McGilvray got a couple of the doubles. His first sent one run over the pan and his second chased two. McGilvray was hitting fin the pinches yesterday. AS is known, some think that the big fellow can't hit 'em safely when the bases are occupied. McGilvray can hit them any time.
 Marcan played a sterling game. He cir cled the bases three times and got three hits. He had numerous chances in the field, and was unfortunate enough to draw a couple of errors. Both were made. however, in attempts to complete double plays.

Montgomery, April 2o-New Orleans took the third game of the series from Montgomery in slow game by the score of to 3. Both Pruitt and Molly were hit hard but the former kept his hits scattered except in the second inning. when Montgomery scored all of her runs. Jackson, the center fielder of the visitors, got four hits out of five times at bat. The weather was too cold for ideal base ball and only a small crowd of enthusi- astic supporters were present.
