JURY RETURNS VERDICT Of
GUILTY AGAINST WOMAN
From Saturdays Daily


After a short deliberation, the jury
in the county court, late yesterday,
brought in a verdict of guilty, in the
case of the state vs. Nell Sharpe,
charged with maintaining a house of
prostitution. Sentence has not yet
been announced but it is understood
the offense is punishable only by a
fine. 1t is not known whether or not
the attorneys for the defense will take
an appeal.
The court today is hearing the trial
of Otis Title and T. w Prichett,
charged with the sale of 9chusters
Malt, as a beverage. The defense in
this case contend that the quid sold
is not contrary to law. T ey do not
deny the sale, but hold that this malt
does not come under the ban of the
law.

In celebration of the holiday, there will be two games at Redwood today. The first will begin at 1030 o'clock this morn ing, and the second at 4 o'clock this aft ernoon.
 On account of a shortage of local pitchers, 1t is probable that Maxwell will pitch this afternoon. Kent will work in the morning. Thomas and Sparks will probably be the Montgomery pitchers.
 The indications are that there will be large attendance at both games. It is expected that something like 5000 people will witness the morning affair, while the afternoon crowd is variously esti- mated as between S0O6 and 12,O0o.
 President Baugh announced last night that practically no tickets for the morn- ing game had been sold, but that for the afternoon game. all the box seats had been disposed of. He stated, however, that none of the grandstand tickets had been disposed of but that about 1900 would go on sale at the usual places in the city this morning at o'clock. The great bulk will be sold at the gates.
 To accommodate the large crowd which is expected this afternoon, temporary

seats have been made in front of the smokers and the bleachers. All run over attendants will be admitted for 25 cents.
 There will be large number of Mont gomery fans on hands and those who were in the city last night. urged tho Age Herald to request all Montgomery rooters to occupy seats near third base. They intend doing considerable roofing. for Montgomery this season is nearer baseball mad than in many previous years.
 Enthusiasts have the ambition to break the attendance record of the league this afternoon. There are obtainable no positive figures as to the largest single game gathering in the history of the league. Atlanta claims that July 4, 1907, it played to nearly 11,0O0 people. while Nashville claims that the 10,400 which witnessed the game in that city which decided the championship in 1909 was the record crowd. It is pretty safe to state. therefore, that if Birmingham plays to Il. 900 this afternoon, Birmingham will have gained the honor of having gathered together the largest crowd in the history if the merry company.

IBILLIKENS' NINTH INNING
 RALLY BEATS NOBLE BARONS
SMITH RELEASES CARMICHAEL
 AND SIGNS BILL HARTLEY

With Murch out of the game, Higgins at third and Mitchell doing practically all Of the catching, good pitching is impera- tive to keep the locals in the race or at feast to maintain the tremendous gait at which they are now going. and Manager Billy will take instant action. Murch is not expected back in the fray for week.
 According to Billy, Covaleskie in his game yesterday has shown the most su- perb form of the season, and will not be surprising If Harry is not seen work ing at three day intervals in the near future. The Pole has been working un- der half steam practically all of the sea- son, and according to Smith has just begun to show his real stock of goods. Hopes of a pennant here are not extin- guished by a jugful, and if Harry does not weaken under the strain which he. is to undergo just put the Lookouts down a contender all the way to the wire.

rificed him neatly to second and Moles- worth, finding the nose of the first thrown ball. singled to center Marcan scored the first and only run.
 After threatening in vain on several oc- casions, the Bilikens did their work in the bloody ninth. Dobbs, who had done the hitting for his team in previous rounds, rolled out, Marcan to McGilVray.
 When Derrill Pratt followed suit the average fan thought the affair concluded, and many started the rush for the street cars. There were two strikes on El- vert when he cut one free to center, With him on first and two down there was no apprehension on the part of local fans. But as explained, McElveen, with the "hit-and-run'' out, landed safely on first, and Bills, after swinging twice, hit to right center. Elwert scored. The fans sat down again.
 Manager Dobbs then rushed Flint to the plate in the place of Graham, and Flint delivered right knightly. McElveen scored the winning run, Gribben lined out to Trough, and to all material pur- poses another game was brought to It's ultimate conclusion.

They are still our noble third placers' even though Memphis has an equal claim to the honor.
 And right behind the Barons and the Turtles the Lookouts stand with fuligin- ous threat.
 By every odd the situation is ominous of danger. By nightfall, the bold Barons might be blindly blinking in the depths of the second division. Or they might be, as a result of progress, striving man fully for second division honors with nope rampant In breasts of steel.
 Rut the point is this-it is now up to the Barons to play ball, to show their mettle, to prove the justice of their clam to worthy first division membership.
 The moment following a game such as that of yesterday between the Barons and the Billikens, one feels inclined to lay his tongue to every pretty French oath of song and story.
 The second impulse is to smile. Base- ball, after all, is not a serious proposl- tion. A victory today bears equal value tomorrow with a last years bird nest. And when you think of it, there was much in the result of the strife to laugh about. Remember how in the early innings you shouted in delirium of joy. It is prob able that you even attempted to 3kid' the few who strenuously rooted for Mont souSGrS And then remember how you felt when the blowup came. This morn ing you can smile about it, and almost forgive those Barons who perpetrated the rank misdemeanor of losing when they should have won.
 Birmingham was not the only goat yes terday afternon. Up to the practical con- clusion of the game New Orleans led Mo- bile 8 to 0. In the finish Mobile. in single inning, ran six runs over the plate.
 And then consider that Atlanta-Nash- vile game. Foxen yielded a couple Of

Chattanooga, July 3.-Following his in ability to get in shape, Chester Carmich- ael, who was considered one of the leading righthanders of the local pitching stair, and of the entire league, has been sold to Brooklyn. The Trolley Dodger town will not be his permanent location, how ever, as he is to go to Jersey City, and Mike was merely sent to Brooklyn to evade the necessity of asking waivers, which it is positive fact could not be secured. According to well-defined rum ors it is Big Bill Bartley, who, it is un- derstood has just been sold to Brooklyn. is to fill the hole upon the staff which Mike has occa stoned. Smith, however, re- fused to commit himself upon this point, but it is known that he Is very sweet on Bartley, who was under him at At lanta. Bill it is understood. has not made good in the Eastern league of dis satisfaction.

ATHLETIC CHANGES
 NEEDED AT YALE

New Haven, Conn.,, July 3.-It is gener- ally believed here that a big upheaval is impending in Yale athletics. The belief Is quite as general that an upheaval is necessary. Yale has lost every series in the four major sports this year ex- cept football, and in this it's name failed to defeat Harvard and was defeated by Brown and West Point. For the first time the track team was defeated by Princeton, the baseball nine lost both the Harvard and Princeton series, and the crew was defeated by every eastern uni versity of any importance on the water except Columbia.
 It is understood two of the incidents of the reforms will be the fight that two of the professional choaches, John Ken nedy of the crew and Billy Lush of the baseball nine, must make for their places Several different movements are on foot to displace Kennedy and at least one to displace Lush The latter is headed by a faction of former Yale players who wish to see Johnny Evens of Chi cago become the baseball coach. Another attack, this on both Lush and Kennedy, Is headed by a faction composed of fac- ulty members and old players. They would have professional coaches abolished altogether.
 Bob Cook, the former Yale Rowing coach and captain, is at the head of an attempt to displace Kennedy. Cook wants to bring back Jim Rodgers, the former Yale oarsman and football captain, as head rowing coach. Another attempt to oust Kennedy is headed by Alfred Cowles of Chicago, captain of the varsity 'S6 crew
 The proposed reforms go further, how ever, than the replacing of two or three professional coaches In the university. Among the things contemplated is sys- tenn of athletic coptrol, which shall not leave the captain supreme.

New Orleans, July S.-Shut out up to the ninth and unable to hit Klawitter after the second inning, Mobile this afternoon made a whirlwind finish, scoring six runs

 Klawitter was in great form up to the ninth and struck out nine men. Walter Doanes hitting was one of the fea- lures. He hit home run, a two-bagser and a single in four times at the bat.

POINTERS TO RANDOM

swats and lost his game to O. Fleharty was touched up for eight safeties and yet won. Poor old Atlanta, you are tempted to say, and then because Atlanta has always boasted of it's prowess you don't care rap.
 And up in Chattanooga there waged a peculiar battle. In the ninth and tenth the score was 3-3. And then Memphis put across the winning run. As result Chat tanooga did not get above Birmingham in the standing, but tumbed below the Memphii.
 Imagine, if you please, how poor old B. Smith must have squirmed and twisted and ehewed tobacco throughout that scrimmage.
 Fred Corbin. an Atlanta outfielder, after striking out in the game yesterday, pro- ceeded to pummel the face of Umpire By ron Corbin has been slated for the trash heap for several weeks, and his outbreak yesterday will probably result in his go- ing to the Texas league.
 Byron. who has had a rough stay in the Southern league. is destined to make a trip to Eastern territory, and he VIII probably go a little bit sooner than scheduled time.
 Byron is an earnest little fellow but cratic in his work, and possessed of a pomposhy which cannot fail to have a maddening effect on the player who ap- pears in the role of the under dog.
 Some little news occurred yesterday. Butcher, the Pelican outfielder, Is pre- pairing to go to Cleveland. Chattanooga signed Billy Bartley and turned Car michael over to an Eastern league club. Bartley was formerly good man in this league and still will be, it is probable.
 And Pitcher Speer wires that he will reach Birmingham this morning at o'clock He will probably appear in the final game of the current local series.
