FOR RECIPROCITY DELAY
Canada's Premier Satirizes
Annexation Bugaboo of
Opponents.

WINDSOR. Ont, September obtaining
the United States for delaying the pro-
posed reciprocity agreement and satiriz-
ing talk of annexation. Sir Wilfrid Lau-
rier premier of Canada, pleaded before
10000 people in this city today for the
adoption of the pending reciprocal trade
agreement He announced that it was
his last meeting in Ontario, and tomor-
row he will leave to campaign in Quebec.
There should be better trade relations
between US and the American republic
than there have been in the last sixteen
wears" he said. 1.-The fault is not with
us, but with our neighbors. Two times
we went to Washington for recognition
and were unsuccessful. I said there must
be no more outlines for reciprocity. Our
dignity had suffered.
Brands Opponents Traitors.
Last years pilgrimage was not from
Ottawa to Washington, however. 1t was
from Washington to Ottawa. and Presi-
dent Taft made offers of what SO often
had been refused To refuse them would
have been a crime against civilization
| denounce any opponents as traitors and
deserters from the best spirit of their
own party.
There is a cry that the pact will lead
70 annexation he continued. How
could this country be joined to the Unit
ed States? 1t must be done by war OF
persuasion. But this agreement is a
bond Of friendship and amity between the
two countries. A treaty has already peen
signed precluding war between the Unit
ed States and Great Britain. and quarreis
shall now be settled by arbitration The
talk of annexation has no foundation,
he declared.

 Bill Trough will oppose More this afternoon and the big fellow should win. While he has been hit hard in the last two games he has pitched, he IS confident of winning today's battle clean sweep of. the series will com piete a most sensational home stay by the Barons.
 Elliott was decidedly the hitting kid yesterday. He batted 1000 against the Pole. He scored two of the runs When he was at bat the last time Cove put one over and Elliott swung nightly hut missed. "Hah." exclaimed the Pole, i've got you" Just put 1t over' in- vited Elliott When it came Elliott sim ~Ied. He has been the jinX of Cova- leskie this season and has batted him hard and consistently, Phelan is an- other boy that the Pole fears. He walked three times, made a hit struck ont. and scored run. That isn't half bad.
 The Pole put one over close to Me Gilyrays ribs and Large William pulled away from two more. Don't be afraid, Biu stand up and hit them!" shouted sentell. Which McGilvray proceeded to do. He singled handily to leftheld.

This gave 1 the Vols four runs and the game l If begins to look at last as if Moleys l troubles were over in a measure. Kent is winning with great regularity, Speer has struck his strike. FoXen Is to be de- penaed upon Maxwell and Trough are known qualities. With his pitching staff going as 1t IS now, there is nothing around the circuit that can stop Moley's bunch. The Peleans are getting their bumps with increasing regularity, and a few more games lost will put the Barons right at their heels. Wonder how Frank feels?
 Tie game this afternoon will be the last on the local lot for some time. Mon day the team leaves for Nashville, where they will play three games, Maxwell will open against the Vols From Nashville the Barons go to Memphis The poor Turtles have been easy for the Barons this year. and two games will be an- rexed. The Barons then meet Atlanta, New Orleans, Montgomery and Nashville a second time. They should win a large majority of these games, and it is pos sihle that they may return on top. Nay it is probable.
 IT. the meantime the Pelicans will meet Atlanta, Chattanooga, Nashville, and then hack home to take on the Barons. It is reascn nable to suppose that they will lose a few of these games, and the slightest slip would put Birmingham in the coveted position.
 Ivor Wagner has made good with rush in New Orleans. He is regarded as dependable pitcher. and has been highly compliniented by the New Orleans seribes.
 Wagner gave Birmingham the best that was in him, and every fan in the city is glad that he has come across with the Pelicsns. Wagner had jinX here that he semed unable to break away from. Per haps he left it here when he went to New Orleans.
 We hope so.

By JACK BETHEA

The Barons batted Covaleskie at will yesterday afternoon and annexed the third of the series with the. Lookouts by the score of Il to 2. Speer opposed the Pole and pitched good ball. He let down in the ninth and three hits were made off him.
 The game, while rather ragged. fur nished plenty of thrills and every mem Der of the Baron flock came into the limelight. The same pep and dash that characterized the infield Thursday was observed yesterday and the boys played jam-up ball.
 The particular features of the game were the hitting of Elliott. the fielding of Yantz. EIlam and Marcan. John ston also pulled off circus catch that looked good for several bases.
 Yantz made two beautiful catches. He went back to the fence after a drive off the bat of Moran and came in after hit by Sentell. In both cases the drives looked good for hits. Ellam cov- cred lots of territory and stopped drives like those that went through the op- posing shortstop.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-08-12

The more the fans see of George Yantz the better they like him. lie accepted two beautiful chances yes terdav and was given an ovation when he came in. Yantz has been Yalu- able player to Birmingham this year and aside from his ability as a utility man. is a dangerous hitter. When Ei- lam was injured he played oanslh good game al short, he was on thlrd when Phelan broke his nose. ana mas played right and centerfield alternat ", not 10 mention his catching He is no mean catcher.

Elliott Hits

Elliott had Covaleskie on the hip yesterday. The first time up-bing-he singled and scored later. The second time up Cove decided to walk him and he drew four wide ones the third time he singled, and the fourth time up singled again after two strikes had been called on him. He scored that time.
 Marcan also did some hitting, getting two three-baggers and a single out of five times at bat.
 Yesterday was ladies day and goodly number of the fair sex were at Redwood. They vented their enthusiasm in vgor ously applauding their favorites as they came to bat. Covaleskie received round of applause when he stepped into the Dox.
 While to no one else than he, can Cova- leskie's deefat be attributed, still, if there had been the same ginger behind him as was behind Speer there might have been a different tale to tell. When the Look outs walked out on the field they were beaten. The Pole did his best-which is all any man can do
