- THREATENING to score the
first no-hit game since Fox
ems in 1912, Omar Hard
grove downed the Turtles with two
scratch hits. The more remarkable
is the feat when it is taken into
consideration that the Turtles had
taken IL of the last II games
played. With faster fielding, Omar
would have landed the aspired rec
ord.
The. Baron highlander has a
hankering to twirl the low hit
games. Under threatening weather
conditions, Hardgrove is the most
formidable twirler on the Birming-
ham staff Prough and Foxen need
the simmering sun to bring victory,
but Omar is at his best under
threatening clouds.
Demanding $4,000 for his right
handler Elmer Brown, Manager
Johnny Dobbs hopes to draw the
largest price of the season for a
player. No less than 10 major
league clubs have made offers for
the speedy pitcher and it is proba-
BILE that Dobbs will gain at least
$4,000 for his service. Besides Elmer
Brown, the Billiken manager has a
promising pitcher in Manning.
The Boston Nationals offered
$500 for "wallop" Smith, in case
he was delivered immediately. The
showing of Southpaw Price at
tracted the majors, but his balk at
keeping in condition will probably
rob him of a chance in the majors.
The Southern will have number
of men to enter the majors, but
several will enter by the recall.

THE VICE OF THE CAUCUS.

No Spectator Of the average session
of either house OF Congress carries
away with him any deep impression
OF the deliberativo character of tho
national Legislature. 1t is nominally n
ldeliberative body. but in party caucus
and committee the bulk of the work is
done; little attention is devoted to the
spoken word on the floor. Especially
has this been the case during tho
seemingly interminable discussion Of
the Underwood tariff bill.
In tho Senate Monday. Mr.. Bristow;
OF Kansas. delivered a studiously pro-
pared speech upon the sugar schedule,
holding that FREQ sugar would annihi-
late the industry in the beet and cane
country in tho United States. and pro-
posing q reduction of tho present duties
to the lowest point at which the in
dustry in his opinion. would remain
profitable. He had digestcd his sub
jet thoroughly. and his exposition was
an able contribution to tho debate.
When he had concluded, Mr.. Smith, OF
Michigan. said:
Every Senator on this side OF the
chamber understands that we have
been treated to most excellent dis
cussion. 1t is difficult to conceive n
better presentation than has been
made by the Senator from Kansas. Yet

that during the discussion of an i'm

people. the other side OF this chamber
has been practically without repre-
sentation. During all the time of this

Senators on the other side OF the
chamber.
He said that during the speech but
eight Senators were present. six Of
whom were Democrats. most of them
| representing States directly interested
in the sugar industry.
Although some OF the most distin-
guished Senators OF the minority we're
at the time absent Mt their homes, and
some even abroad. there must he gen
eral agreement with tho opinion OF
Senator Smith, that 't is n very sad
commentary upon the dclibcration Of

selves from tho chamber during n

splendid triumph abroad and has
taught her Younger American sisters
n very helpful lesson. Al least that is
the conclusion we draw from the an

Alma Gluck is packing the London halls
every time she sings.

abroad, and it was made, we under
stand with fear and trembling. because
the dark-cycd New Yorker hesitated
to face the London critics But her
voice and her manner appear to have
won even those stony hearts, for the
critics are ovrrfA,winE with sentimental

The lesson of her triumph comes with
the well-known fact that she was
trained exclusively in America. ana had
never studied under those much vaunt-
ed Continental masters Thus upset
ting every prediction and deceiving the
prophets of evil, she has made it plain
.hat the girl with talent can develop il
in America as well rs in Europe
Another pleasing feature of Madame
Glucks triumph is her success with the
songs OF American composers When
she bearded the lion in his den. she
determined to be an American through
