SPORTING NEWS AND LIVE GOSSIP FROM EVERYWHERE

The Barons-or rather pair of tn tribe-gave Charlie Frank a taste of hi own medicine yesterday afternoon.
 By just such performances as that O Johnston and Phelan in the fifth innins of yesterdays game, Frank himself ha' won pennants in the Southern league.
 When the play was made had those seated near the leader of the Pelican' listened closely. they would have heard him chuckle.
 It was a demonstration of how clever men play baseball, and Frank was tickled, though he knew that by the mad dash of the two swift runners. his team had been defeated.
 Charlie Frank, before the beginning or the game. spoke concerning the release of Bert Maxwell to Birmingham.
 'T dislked very much to part with Maxwell stated the chief of the Pels .'and Maxwell disliked very much to leave New Orleans. It was natural that both should regret the separation. Max well had always given me good serv- ice. On the other hand, he was going nicely, and was with the club well to the lead of the league.
 "But was anxious to give Rick Wood ward a lift So clever and frank and husiness-llke had Woodward been, that was determined to pull him out of a bad hole if I could possibly do so.
 "As a result Maxwell came to the Magic City. He is one of the finest fel- lows in baseball, and never doubt but that when called upon he will give you the very best he has all the time"
 By the defeat of the Peicans yester- day afternoon the Barons are again in third place, having overhauled Chatta- nooga in one afternoon. an action which many of the doubtful thought would not occur throughout the remainder of the season.
 The Barons had no trouble in defeating the Pelicans, but the Vols had their hands full with the Lookouts. The game between the two devolved itself into a splendid pitching battle between two crack sidewheelers, CovalcsN and Atchi- son. Neither of the performers could be hit freely, and but for the timely punch ing of Red" Smith, there might have been no runs made.
 But through the swattlng of the hither- to crack of the Auburn college team, the Iookouts tumbled and the Barons moved their forces into the third position.
 Montgomery came within an ace of pull ing off another of those blood curdlng finishes which this season has become their chief characteristic.
 For eight innings, the Billiksns had been carefully put away by flying Jack

Guthrie, Okla, June 4.-Anti-prohi-
bition leaders in Oklahoma are draft
ing plans at the present time to
take advantage of the recent United
States supreme court decision of the
capital removal case to resubmit the
liquor question again 20 the people,
intending only to get into court that
clause of Oklahoma's enabling act
which makes the old Indian Terrific
ry portion of the state dry for twen-
ty-one years. The court decision was,
briefly, that congress could not in
drafting an enabling act, curb the
states authority to handle local az
fairs, such as the location of cap
ital. This, the anti-prohibition lead
ers ere arguing, also applies to the
liquor question. holding that con
gress had no power to compel dry
ness in former Indian Territory for
twenty one years after statehood.

NEW TRIAL SOUGHT.
Negro Under Death Sentence Has
Plea in Appellate Court.

Oklahoma City. June 4.-Alleging
that the court refused to instruct the
jury that they might consider any evi-
dence of good character in making up
their minds as to the guilt or inno-
cence of the negro an appeal in the
case of Columbus James Holmes TN
der sentence of death for the murder
OF w II. Archie. the plumber. was
filed in the criminal court of appeals
today.
1t is alleged that the evidence fail
ed to show the premeditated design
to correspond with the allegations in
the information on which the negro
was convicted and sentenced: that
the information was based wholly on
the crime of murder, while the case
against Holmes was more directed to
robbery 1t is also alleged that the
court failed TO instruct the jury con
cerning the intent of the principles in
murder and their punishment
II is also claimed that the defendant
was unable to secure the attendance
Of the witness, Mrs Annie G.. Adding
ton, who formerly lived in Ardmore,
but now resident of San Antonio. III
is said that Mrs. Addington could have
testified to the previous good charac-
ter of Holmes; that she knew him for
the most part of his life and that he
was always peaceable boy and had
advantage of good influences: all of
which would 30 TO show that by nature
he could not have intended to com
init the crime of which he was con
yiCted.
The negro is under sentence to be
hanged June 21 The appeal will have
the effect OF staying execution unless
the court disposes of the case before
the execution day arrives.

HOW MINERS
CAN Be SAVED
4 NEW MACHINE EXHIBITED BY
A GOVERNMENT oFFlCER-Ths
PoLMoTOR.

Pittsburg. Kan, June 4.-To more
tlan five hundred miners, operators,
superntendents and foremen here to-
night. r. Y. Williams, in charge OF the
United States mine rescue car, demou'
strated how it is possible with the aid
OF polmotor to restore respiration
after person has been given up for
dead The polomotor. can be used, Mr.
Williams declared. to revive persons
unconscious from electrical shocks
drowning, gases and the like, II is an
absolutely necessary adjunct, he said,
in the carrying out Of practical mine
rescue work.
This polmotor machine IS a foreign
patent. 1t is insignificant in itself, but
when set in motion performs wonder
work 1t is equipped with a small
rubber cap that fits snugly over the
victims mouth and nose. Then the ma
chine is set in motion with the aid
Of compressed air. 1t fills the ungs
to capacity with pure oxygen aud then
automatically tips and withdraws this
air and whatever poisonous gases
there may be In case of drowning
it draws out the water from the lungs,
and to revive person unconscious
from electrical shock, starts the lungs
to working normally
Failure to properly appreciate the
seriousness of mine fires and a lack
OF adequate fire fighting facilities have
resulted in the loss of hundreds OF
lives and the destruction Of millions
OF dollars worth of property in the
United States in the last few years,
Mr.. Williams told his audience. He
asserted that many of the most critical
mine disasters resulted from trivial
causes. With the proper equipmen;
and with 4 reasonable .
sy stem of fire drills and a polmotor. he
said, fires and the resultant deaths
would be reduced to a minimum. Mr.. F.
