Toomer says he will not condescend
to make attacks on L'Engle. We dare
say he would attack fast enough IL he
could find anything to say Claude has
a clean record. 1t would take nothing
short of downright lying to make a
case against him.

Speaking of Tom Watson's criticism
on Wilson's history reminds us that
We have read some of Watson's his
torical efforts. They are fine instances
of word painting. but as almost his

Nights. When Tom wanted to make a
point. he went straight to it, regardless
of what facts he might run over on his
way. He. has probably observed the
same policy in regard to Wilson.

The stuff that some preachers are
handing out, about the Almighty caus-

teach humanity lesson makes us
weary. Why should God destroy hum
dreds of valuable lives to instruct
fools? Such opinions originate only
in narrow minds, or perverted ones.

FATE NOT KIND TO
 CLINTON TROUGH

Fate has certainly been unlxind to Bill Trough Losing two games in one week by one score each does not seem to be very good for the nerves. Although he nearly pitched This head off in Atlanta he lost 1 to 0. He allowed but five hits and but one runner crossed the platter Yesterday at Nashville Trough pitched an excellent game. He gave up but four hits. while Fleharty yielded five. Yet the Barons and Trough were trounced.
 Throughout the season Trough has lost number of games which with ordinary hitting by the Barons would have been won. The boys have been unable 10 touch the horsehide when the elongated twirlor is working. Although the team hitting average is about .25o, the Barons have not batted over 100 behind Clinton.
 At times the Barons hit like iends behind Trough but that has been usually after a greater number of runs have been piled up by the opposing club. How ever Trough cannot lo~e always allowing but four and five hits a game. But the Barons are now in the long expected slump.

PREACHING GOSPEL IN ADVERTISEMENT Mission Placarding Walls and BOulders of Interior
 China

American and British business enter prise is. at this moment, placarding China, and especially along the great water highways of the interior with ad- vertisements of soaps. guns, flour and al most every sort of merchandise that it Is assumed citizens of a new republic will buy. It Is reported that such a whole sale plaearding of a nation was never witnessed before No landscape. no relig- ion no historic wall hardly the graves of ancestors, are held sacred. Immense sums of American and British money are being expended in the preparation of real ly artistic and costly signs, certainly more costly, it Is said, than have even been posted in rural America or England. There have been some feeble protests on the part of Chinese, but thus far money paid out to owners of walls, boulders, river fronts, even graves, has accom- plished it's purpose A modernized China is in the making in this advertising re- s0ect. with no thought of delay and little of expense.
 The China Inland Mission, with 600 to 800 missionaries in Chinas interior, sent out chiefly by English effort but in part by that of the United States and Canada refuses to be outdone by business. It is preparing and placing gospel placards that are artistically the equal of any. Along with placards or American cigar cites, American patent medicines and American and English ales, Interior China is eeeir9 put up Bible passages and prom ises. The mission claims it is well backed financially for this Bible posting work and reports that it has secured, by being early at the task, some of the most de- sirahle of locations for these Gospel ad- vertisements.

HOW DEFEATS BITTER STING
 AFFECTS THE PENNANT HOPE

Twice in the short space of week the Barons, that same aggregation of bold and battle scared veterans, have gone done In double barreled defeats
 Early in the week the Atlanta Crack CTS turned that well nigh impossible stunt and yesterday afternoon the low ly volunteers repeated the dose
 As result there is consternation in Birmingham The fans are wondering If the Barons. ready to grasp the pen nant, have begun a disastrous slump.
 There Is a selfish desire-though a perfectly natural desire-in the heart of the fan that the Barons might win every game in which they engage.
 When this desire is not granted there is disappointment. However, when the situation is viewed in the calm light of retrospection. 1t matters very little if a. game or two goes into the column of the opposition.
 Should the Barons win all of their games the league would become bank rupt within the limited space of week and interest, even on the part of the fans of this city, would become as dead as a door nail with accent on the penult
 On the part of that variety of fans which loves the sport of baseball. there have been grave fears that the Barons might make the race runaway affair. There is nothing more serious than a

for leadership except the personality to maintain harmony and fellowship that develops full playing power. This per lost and as a consequence the grand machine to which Jennings fell heir through the creative genius of Navin and Bill Armour has consequently fall en into bad days
 Mayhap MT Navin does not look upon his kindly ministra ations as pure case of handicapping his manager through direct interference. One does not have to go as far as Detroit to lay his finger on similar conditions when American league franchises are discussed.
 To a man up a tree such a winnin 2 personality a S that of Jennings must cover a multitude of sins. After all 1t seems about three quarters of genius. Hugh Jennings will have no difficulty finding a berth if the National league asks waivers on him. That goes whether or not there is truth in the Kling as leader of the Boston Nationals. Surely Navin's reported antagonism to- ward Hugh seems the height of ingrati- tude toward a man who, no matter what his faults, has done wonders both for Dertiot and the American league. No matter where he may go Hugh Jennings will carry the respect, esteem and good will of the sport lovers of the limited states.

w-alkover unless it Is an early cinching g of the salted down championship of the cellar
 Everybody wants Birmingham to win the pennant. But there are few who believe that 1t will be more satsfac- tory to win after scrap than to achieve first honors without material opposition. The winning of the pennant is a matter of very little moment. But the fighting of a hard fight and the emerging from that fight with shouts of victory is something altogether diff ferent-something worth while.
 
 There is no reason for the consterna- tion which exists. There is no doubt but that the Barons will win the pennant. Owner Woodward has already contracted for the pole. Specifications have already been sent in to the firm of Reach & Co.,, and the banner is in course of manu- facture.
 The Barons have already demonstrated their superiority over the other teams of the league. Mobile, New Orleans, Memphis and Chattanooga have threat ened and then tumbled back into the ranks to the rear.
 So there Is no reason to fear. There would be none had the Volunteers won four or five games In one afternoon.
 We are not too confident. We base our certainty of another pennant on the fact that the Barons have a good lead and compose the best ball club about the circuit
 Should half dozen men sustain in- juries our prophecy might prove fala- cious. Otherwise, we will win the pen nant H. w. R.
