the cab window to get breath of cool
air. Fred Schilling, an engineer on the
Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago
Railroad, saw 12-year-old boy found
ering helplessly in the Allegany River

Closing down the throttle, Schilling
stopped his freight train on trestle,
sprang to the run board of his engine
and made dive into the water. The

Anniston June 17.-(Special.)- )- Charles H. Mitchell. president of the Anniston Baseball association, was seen at the Alabama hotel Saturday regard ing the report emanating from Gads- den to the effect that President. j. H. O'NeiIl has called a meeting of the league association to be held in that city and that charges would be pre- ferred against the Anniston association. The president of the Anniston club said that he knows nothing of such meet ing. He further stated that he is ready to answer any charges that may be preferred against the Anniston team or it's management.
 The specific charges to be reported against the Anniston association, ac- cording to the Gadsden special, are that this city is not within the salary limit and that Annistonians have att tempted to take games at home by violent means.
 Regarding the first of these charges, President Mitchell said that he can prove beyond a doubt that the local management has not violated the sal ary limit. A great part of the time, the home club has been in the game with only II players, and no one of the local men is a high salaried player, two of

FIVE 300 LETTERS, M'GILVRAY LEADING REG ULARS-PHELAN FIRST IN RUN-GETTING AND BASE STEALING

The merry Barons are skipping the pill at a merry clip-.257. Included in the averages is the work of every man who has participated in an inning this season. When this fact is considered it Will be seen just how hard the Barons are really swatting.
 Including the work of Fleharty while with Birmingham five of the Rarons are at and above the 300 mark. These are Ellam, Fleharty. McGilvray, Tannehi1l and Kent. McGilvray has got one hit for every three times he has faced the pitchers. It is probable that he is now leading the league The hit ting of Tannehill has been consistent and he has scored neat bunch of runs, too.
 Of the regulars, McGilvray is lead- ing in hitting and in the number of hits Phelan has walked away with the run getting honors, his total being 37 to McGilvray's and Marcan's 30. Phelan is leading in base stealing, too, with r. McGilvray is second with 13. John- ston is considerably fewer games than either, has stolen nine. During the last three weeks the hitting of Molesworth mas Deen pleHOlneHdl. ne ndS cllilpSu in that time 100 percentage points
 The Barons have got an average of eight hits per game and scored a frac- iion more than four runs per game. They have stolen an average of h bases per- game.
 Maxwell is leading the pitchers, though Trough has pitched three times as many games. Maxwell has won three ont of four and Trough out of 13. Wagner has landed two out of three.
 The figures below include all games played this season with the exception of the double header yesterday after room. The figures of those players who were formerly with Birmin gham and those who joined Birmingham from oth- CT clubs are based solely on their work with Birmingham. The figures follow

ANNISTON CLUB IS WITHIN
 SALARY LIMIT SAYS MITCHELL

them being Anniston boys. One has but to look up the records of the re- spective players with the several teams in the league, he says, to see that An niston ostenslbly has the weakest team in the league, with the possible excep- tion of Huntsville only one of the To- cal men having been in league ball be- fore and made good. As a matter of fact, President Mitchell says, Gadsden had 13 men in uniform when they played here last, and Pitcher Davidson had returned to Gadsden.
 Regarding the charge that the An niston fans have surged upon the field, MT Mitchell says that Anniston is the only club in the league to place a wire netting in front of the bleachers and to rail in that part of the Anniston park so as to prevent the fans from crowd ing upon the field. MT. Mitchell says that no such precaution as this has been taken at Gadsden and that he has seen the secretary of the GadSden club urge the rooters upon the field during play
 "The only trouble" Mir Mitchell says, lis that Anniston is winning through superior management. The entire league has recognized Fishers handi- work. Anniston stole a march on them by getting live man as manager and consequently they are disgruntled, or at least Gadsden is, over several de- feats at the hands of Fishers men"

Gadsden Takes First Place

Gadsden, June 17.-(SpecIal.)-In l0- inning affair, which abounded with the rankest of errors, hard hitting by both teams and spectacular fielding at times, Gadsden took the sixth straight game from Huntsville and through the defeat of Anniston goes to first place. Lokey, a new man, played short for the Steel makers and scored the winning run in the tenth. The shifting of Davidson and his pitching, at critical times, was a feature. Lambert for Huntsville made a sensa- tional one-handed catch of Lokey's line wild and the most intense interest is felt in the games with Rome, beginning Mon

It is believed with one other first-rate man the Barons would be assured of a high finishing position. This belief is held by Owner Woodward and others, and all are active. It is very probable that something will occur within the rext few days.
