AUBURN DEFEATS
 VANDERBILT TEAM

Auburn, March, -(Special.-Auburn broke into Vanderbilt's six run lead in the seventh inning of todays game, tied the score in the eighth and forced a run across in the ninth, winning by a score of to 6.
 Auburn failed to touch Collins until the seventh inning. Then it seemed that he weakened. The Auburn students took off their coats and went into wild and artis- tic roofing and the Vanderbilt infield went ragged for the first time of the game. Hits and errors and slow fielding in the twilight dusk gave Auburn the oppor- tunty to tie the score. Collins was dis placed by Kent Morrison in the ninth. Morrison walked Allen, Auburns first bat ter Davenport sacrificed the runner and Allen stole third. Graydon, the Auburn batter, knocked an easy grounder but Allen was well on his way home when the bat struck and scored. The inning which was fatal to Vanderbilt was played after 6 o'clock and it is due to the darkness as much as to the enthusiasm of the Au- burn rally that the game was lost to the visitor. Vanderbilt began early to score and batted Newell hard. Collins did not give up hit until the sixth inning. The game was one marked by good baseball. the fielding being phenomenal in view of the condition of the ground after Thurs days storm.

ARSON
 FO|LED BY RAINS

An attempt at arson was foiled Thurs day night by the heavy rains during the day. Thursday night someone entered the furniture store of F. NJ. Chestnut, 4l6 South Eleventh street. and stole about si0 worth of lace curtains and bed spreads.
 During the day MT. Chestnut had re- ceived considerable mail and in opening it in his office just inside the front door had dropped the envelopes into a waste basket He neglected to empty it that night The thieves, hoping to cover their tracks as we'll as possible, poured kero- sene oil over the papers, dumped them out on the floor and set fire to them.
 During the rain NIr. Chestnut had left the front door of his store open and the rain blew in, completely soaking the floor. and when the papers were set fire the blaze had no effect on the floor as Inc dampness was of sufficient degree to withstand it.
 Both the police and sheriff were notified and an attempt was made to procure dogs to take the trail The sheriff's dogs not having arrived in the city the thieves are still at large.
