BROWN SECURED FROM
ST. LOUIS BY BARONS
Deal Closed Yesterday Whereby Curly Brown Becomes Property
of LocalsAsix Promising Youngsters Landed BY Drafts
BY ASA RoUNTREE. Ja.

Announcement was made yesterday by
President Baugh of the local baseball
association that deal had been closed
with the st. Louis Americans whereby
Pitcher Curly Brown, who twirled last
season for Montgomery, would become
the property of the Barons
The purchase price was not stated, but
1t is more than likely that the local club
parted with a goodly sum, as Brown
made an exceedingly good record with
the Blllikens during the past season.
While with Montgomery he won Is con-
tests and lost H.
President Baugh also announced that
the Barops had succeeded in landing six
promising youngsters by draft. Those
secured by the locals were outfelder
Magee of Lowell, in the New England
league; Pitcher Johnson of Madison,
Wis; Pitcher Ponder OF the Dallas club,
in the Texas league; First Baseman
Leary of Utica. in the New York State
league; Shortstop' Edwards of the VIM
ston-Salem club in the Carolina State
league, and Pitcher Hardin of Galveston,
in the Texas league.
Magee, who is a brother of Sherwood
Magee of the Philadelphia Nationals, lead
the New England league during the past
season in hitting and in run getting. He
batted well over the 300 mark and scored
106 runs. Magee was drafted by Charles
Comisxey of the Chicago White Sox, but
the draft was cancelled on account of
Comiskey having too many players.
Edwards was formerly captain of the

ALABAMA WILL PLAY
GEORGIA HERE SATURDAY

Up until last year one of the most
serious drawbacks to the successful
staging of football contests in Birs
mingham was the seeming inability of
the arrangements of the various teams
to control the crowds that went to see
the games so that he people who paid
heir money could have a clear, unob-
structed view of the field. 1nnumerable
people appeared TO have sideline priv
ileges extended to them at the outset
OF the game and toward the end of
every contest there would unusually be
several hundred people walking UP and
down the sidelines. blocking the view
of those behind. At the Alabama-Se-
vance and Nanderbilt-Auburn games
last year the rule prohibiting all per-
sons from going in the field except the
COACH manager and substitutes OF each
team and a limited number of repre-
sentatives from the press, was carried
out strictly for the first time in the
history OF football in Birmingham and
the enforcement of this regulation was
highly commended by all of the foot
ball lovers in the city.
The University of Alabama will play

park next Saturday and the manage
ment of the University of Alabama

regulations which We're enforced last
year regarding the keep off of all those
persons from the field who are not en-
titled by the rules to be there win be
carried out to the letter. Thirty-six re-
served spaces have been marked Off

FIGHT
IN ST. LOUIS

st. Louis, October l3.--A fist fight be-
tween players, numerous verbal battles
between the managers and many other
exciting features kept the fans in a
lively spirit at today's double header OF
the series to decide the city championship
of the major league teams.
In the first game DerrilI Pratt. the
Americans first baseman, insisted that a
batted ball which hit him in the eve was
foul, and when Umpire IIildebrand called
it fair he rushed to the plate TO argue
with the arbitrator.
While he was talking to the umpire a
player on the Nationals bench, Pratt
says, called him nm abusive name. Pratt
rushed to the bench and clinched with
Utility Player Beck. Other players finally
separated the lighters and Pratt resumed
his argument with Eildebrand and was
banished.
The remainder of the game went on in
peace, but when the second contest was
called, arguments started i'm all parts Of
the diamond and the umpires left the
field, saying they We're through with the
game.
When the Nationals took the field for
the second game they objected to Pratt 3
playing. Manager Hickey of the Ameri-
cans said Hildebrand promised to permit
Pratt to play and he would not let his
team take the field until the regular first
baseman was at his position.
After arguing with Manager Higgins
without result Hickey appealed to the

STANDING


The Barons won their fourth game in
Cuba on October . by defeating the AL
mandares Blues A to 8 in fast and well
played game Frank Gregory was on the
mound for the local contingent, and he
allowed the hard hitting Cubans only six
safeties. The accompanying account of
the game appeared on the following day in
the Havana Post:
The Birmingham club took another
game yesterday from the locals. The Al
mendares Blues were the victims. AS is
their custom, the visitors jumped into the
game to win from the start and got two
runs the first inning. They made two
more in the third and they were enough
to win che game, the score being 4 to 8.
Gregory pitched for the Barons and held
the Cubans to six hits. Pedroso started
for the Cubans but after the first had to
be relieved by old Mendez the man who
formerly rejoiced in the name of the
BLACK Mathewson." Mendez did well
and came nearly winning for his team de-
spite the lead the Americans had on him.
He only allowed three hits in the eight
innings he pitched. Score by innings: i

MYRIADS OF PLEAS
 INVADE WATERBURY

Waterbury, July 3O-A pest of heas of all kinds, numbering into the mill lions, settled down upon this city un- der the cover of darkness last evening and made life miserable for all. They were in the hotels, restaurants and theatres. So long as the men kept their hats on they escaped the bites, but the tiny insects crawled at leisure over the Women's necks and arms, causing great annoyance. The insects walked around on window panes and covered the electric lights.
 Most of them were costumed in black, but quite a. few eported brown and light gray trousers. The black and brown, as they happened to be, made themselves at home and kept those whom they called upon busy de- lending themselves. What bothered most was that after Waterb urians had divested themselves of their street ap- pareI and retired for the night they found that some of the insects clung to their hair and amused themselves running around the back of their necks and playing tag about their ears, jumping from them and making to- began slides of their arms. Small children not yet able to speak suffered much from the intruders and more than one baby cried long and pitifully last night before anybody knew what was the source of the trouble. Nobody can account for the presence of the little pests in such large numbers.

AUTO VALUATION
 CUT 10 PER CENT
 FOR TAXING CARS

New Haven, July 30.-WeIcome news was heard by the members of the Auto club Of New Haven, who attended the weekly meeting yesterday to the effect that the plan of assessment on which the taxation of automobiles in this city is based has been changed. The announcement was made before the gathering by Samuel H. Williams, the member of the board of assessors, that, beginning with this year, the valuation upon which the tax will be levied will be reduced 10 per cent. from the scale formerly in vogue These tidings come as the continuation of efforts on the part of local autoists to have the tax alton here lowered on the ground that it has been excessive.
 The scheme in the past has been to aGsess on the full value of the car for the first year after purchase and this has been bitterly opposed by the auto ists on the claim that it is unfair be- cause in most cases the autos have been in use quite g. while before the lists are sweFn to in June and the de- preciation in value at the start is quite considerable.
 Under the new plan agreed upon by the assessors and announced by As eessor williams yesterday the va1ua- ton for the inst year will be 90 per cent. instead of full and the second year it will be ten per cent. less than the 75 per cent. which formed the basis heretofore
 The same plan continues throughout the valuation being reduced 10 per cent from the figure formerly set for each year of usage.
