VOLS GAMES MAY
 BE PLAYED HERE

The Barons draw two additional games for Rickwood--aIways provided the other clubs of the league agree.
 AS is known, no Sunday games are to be played in Nashville Two such games were scheduled for Birmingham. And 1t so happens that Birmingham and Nash vile have open dates next week. There fore. the Barons and the Vols have agreed to play those Sunday games in Birming- ham June 26 and 27.
 The agreement was made known to Judge Kavanaugh yesterday. and he will ask permission of the other clubs of the league. In view of conditions it is not be- lieved that other clubs will decline to sanction the agreement.
 Tom Fisher, manager of the Models of Anniston, is a good loser. Following the recent series between Selma and Annis- ton, in which the former won and thereby won the championship of the first half of the season, tiie peppery manager of the latter team wrote the league president:
 'The big series is over' said he, and we lost" He then states that the defeat was the result of poor playing on the part of the Models and not through poor um- piring. He is one manager who does not lay HIS uStedlS-iilS recent ocicdtSs dt any rate-to the door of the umpire.
 Fisher thanked the president for having instituted the double umpire system for the final series.
 As usual. Manager Franks team is one of great spirit. speed and dash. The Pels fight all the way. They have the Frank spirit.
 They run bases madiy. They are never asleep. Seldom do they pull bone, and when bone" appears 1t is almost invariably the result of an effort to dc spirited stunts on the bases. Frank has done marvellous things with mediocre team. He Is destineds il seems, to fight the Barons for the rag.

|ROBEN AND SUMMA
 ARE GIVEN RELEASE

Huntsville. June n.-tspecial.) )--Eddie Roben and Outfelder Summa have been internationally released from the Hunts vile team and have gone to Omaha. Neb. It is stated that Roben was released be- cause of his dissatisfaction with the man. agement. He has not been playing up to the standard set by himself last season and has made many errors that frequent ly have resulted in the defeat of his team
 Roben was picked as the all-star second baseman last season and perhaps the fans here expected too much of him this season. However, when he began to get sore over not being paid promptly and trying to induce other members of the team to stay out of sthe game for the same reason 1t was too much for the local management to take off of him and he was fired. Summa was also dissatisfied and Manager Riggs thought that the best thing to do was to release him. Riggs is negotiating for a Southern league star to come here and play second and be the playing captain.

Washington, June 21.-(Special.) )--Repre- sentative William c. Redfield's boom for the democratic vice presidential nomina- tion continues to grow louder.

let Redfield have It. he has ambitions to go over and rest quietly in the Senate, where there is nothing to excite him
 Congressman Doremus of Michigan, Ash brook of Ohio, Sweet of Michigan and McGillicuddy of Maine have come out in favor of Redfield. pointing out generally that he is better known than most vice presidential candidates through the fact that his tarin speeches have been used as campaign literature by the democrats. and if he is strong enough to issue text books he ought to make an admirable candidate for the office he seeks.
 Unless Congressman Daniels scheme of making the next highest candidate in the race for the presidential nomination ac- cept the nomination for the vice presi- dency. and that idea has not met with any great outburst of applause from the pres idential candidates themselves or their friends. it is quite likely that Represen- tative Redheid will be considered by the convention. and he may land the plum.

Criminal Negligence.


The man who, probably having
lighted his cigar TO enjoy a smoke,
earelessly tossed aside the match,
was a good and respectable citizen.
law-abiding. with not the slightest
criminal instinct In his nature. To
suggest that he would consciously
wrong a fellow man, to say nothing
OF destroying his life or property,
would be to offer him the most poig-
nant insult. He would be Mortified
II accused Of such a monstrous crime
as the destruction OF $4,000, 900
worth of property and five or six
lives. let alone jeopardizing thou
sands of lives and billions OF prop
erty.
THE official investigation of the
Equitable building fire reveals
pretty certainly that this disaster
was caused by the careless throwing
away Of match. /" reads the official
report.
II the man who threw away the
match realizes Il. what must be his
feelings? lie probably will never
be molested by law for what he did,
but in his heart he knows he is
guilty Of crime he cannot expiate.
This crime we call by the polite
name of criminal negligence. II is
quite common crime In this coun-
try. but those who commit II mostly
go unwhipped Of justice. 1t is a
hard thing, society says, to punish a
law-abiding man for whatbe hsd no
intention OF doing. II is.s harder
thing to send innocent persons I'M
warned to death and not very light
matter TO wipe out millions in prop
eity and endanger other lives and
material wealth.
The trouble is with this way OF
looking at criminal negligence that
II leads up TO a had end, II has led
up to bad ends of late too often. and
even when the responsibility has
been fixed. the offense has been con-
doned. 1t is not very easy to argue
the laws side of this criminal neg
ligenee question. but when as mo-
mentous results hang upon criminal
negligence as deliberate crime We
ought to give II more serious atten-
tion.
