The sudden death of VIM.
Chaplin Tuesday was a great
shock to the entire city. Mr..
Chaplin was at F'itzgerald's black
smith shop on Walnut Street
about 2 p. m, when he suddenly
fell back on the ground and
when raised up by Mr.. Fitzger-
aid and others life was extinct
and his death was pronounced by
the doctor as heart failure. He
had seemed in usual health and
had been down in town in the
morning.
Billie" Chaplin, as his friends
called him, was a man liked by
every one. He was quiet and
looked after his business inter
ests in an unobtrusive way. He
conducted a brick manufacturing
business under the firm name Of
Meisenheimer & Chaplin. He
was not married man, but re-
sided with his brother and three
sisters, who have kept house for
their brothers since the death of
theiS mother some years ago.
He was kind and devoted to his
sisters and brother and they are
left to sorrow and mourn over
the loss of their loving brother,
and to whom deep sympathy is
extended.
The funeral was held Wednes-
day at 3 o'clock p. N. at the resi-
dence, with interment in Oak

In the Shadow d his Cross.
MY Hymn
Written aud composed BY
JoHS MARX SMITH.
Aged ~ years. and 8 months.
Jesus hear my humble prayer
While on feeble knees I bow,
Grant me Lord thy instant care,
Let me feel thy presence now:
am halt, and deaf and blind,
Racked with pains | faltering
stand;
Help me Lord thy cross to find;
Lead me with thy nail pierced
hand.
Now thy cross is plainly seen;
Still the more to thee | cry
Touch me Jesus, mako me
clean;
Heal me Savior, lest / de-"
Though | battle in Jordan's
flood,
Through its waves uncleaned go
Wash me, cleanse me with thy
blood,
Then will | be white as snow.
In the shadow of thy cross
| am waiting for thy word
Gold and gems | deem butdross
Since my humble prayers are
heard
Now my race is almost rum
From life's shore no more | roam
Lord when each ones task is
done
Take me and my loved ones
home.

ATHLETES WORK OUT
 ON BOARD FINLAND

On Board Steamship Finland, At Sea. By Wireless Telegraph. via siasconsett Mass, June 1s.-The training of the large train of athletes who are proceeding to Stockholm to represent the United States in the Olympic games. is being kept up with the utmost vigor and so far as the circumscribed space on shipboard will permit the daily work of the athletes Is similar to that which they would go through if they were on land.
 Both morning and afternoon all the men. except half a dozen. who are sea sick. turn out on deck for hard practice under the direction of the trainer. who Is endeavoring to keep them in thor ough physical condition. so that when they reach land few tryouts on shore will bring them to the top of their proper form.
 The swimming tanks on board are very popular among the athletes, to whom they have proved of great benefit. On Sunday a religious service was held in the dining saloon
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-06-19

Johnston has heded in sensational style. In 57 games. the star center fielder has made but four errors. He has dropped but one fly ball, but the others have been the result of bad throws and fumbled singles. Jimmy is undoubtedly one of the more finished outielders in the Southern league. He is very fast on his feet ac- tive and sure.
 In the 57 games played, Johnston has scored 136 put-outs. and has made eight assists. Perhaps the majority of these assists have been on throwing to the plate to prevent runners from scoring. Johnston has very strong whip and is death to the ambitious hit stretchers. His fielding average is .973.
 Johnston has always been very splen- did base runner. He is a good slider and is daring. His "fade-away' slide is neat one and Johnston is undoubtedly one of the most finished ball players. from every viewpoint, in the Southern league. He is a good hitter, a sensational fielder and daring base runner. He is to go higher.
 Tomorrow's paper will give the batting, fielding and other averages of "Peppery Bob Messenger, the Alabama Cyclone" Messenger is hitting near the .290 mark and is fielding sensationally. On the bases he is a terror and will run Johnston n close race for the base stealing record in the Southern.

SPORTING PARAGRAPHS

By winning the game Sunday II to f from Jackson, Wcksburg cinched the first pennant in the Cotton States league. Like the Southeastern the Cotton States league has a split season.
 Although Hyder Barr Is now hitting well, the former Barons average is but .159 for the season. Barr recently se- cured two triples in one game. He was injured early in the season.
 Al Demaree seems to have the Peli- cans goat" The Pelicans have hit but .126 against the Mobile twirler this sea son, and for the 27 innings which Dem aree has twirled against the Pels 27 have been scoreless.
 Joe Jackson seems to have the climb ing record, although Bill McGilvray has run him close race. In two weeks time Jackson climbed from .2s0 to 3s0 in batting. The Southern Is badly afflicted with Charley Horse" at the present time.
 There are but six clubs in the Virginia State league now. Saturday night Presi- dent Boatwright paid off the players Of the defunct Danville club. For failure to win Lynchburg dropped out and the league may also have to pay the Lynch burg players Several former Barons arc playing in the league.
 Bill Smith has suspended Sis" Hop kins for 10 days, without pay, on ac- count of his indifferent playing This is the third time this season that Smith and Hopkins have had ''set to-" How ever Smith has always reinstated him and 1t is probable that the home run hit ter will get back into the game soon.
 Detroit Is reported to have asked waiv- CTS on George Mullin and Ed Summers, the cratic southpaw. In 1909 Mullin lead the league and performed remarkably
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-06-19

Although not leading in hitting, Jimmy Johnston Is the premier base purloiner, having secured 23 sacks. In hitting Jimmy Is there too, as he is swatting .2s3. Not only is he leading the Barons in this thieving respect but probably the South ern league. He and Roy Moran are neck and neck. but 1t is very probable that Jimmy will yet nose out for the honors.
 From the start, Jimmy has been the most consistent of Baron batters. In the first game be made two hits out of three trips to the plate He also pifered base in this game. In the next few games Jimmy did nothing. but d few days later hit his stride, which he has continued for the season.
 Perhaps the most important fact is that his hits have been very hard and timely. There is little doubt but that Johnston's swats have won at least seven games for the Barons this season. His doubles have occurred at opportune moments, while he has always been among the lnrgest run getters. In 57 games, Jimmy has scored % times He has hit safely upon 63 oc- casions out of 223 times at bat His G3 safeties have gone for total of T5 bases, James having made seven two baggers and two home runs.
 Besides his activity as base stealer,
