GAME PROTESTED TO
BE CONSIDERED SOON

A protested game is causing consid-
cradle discussion among the City league
clubs. The Rising team. becoming dis
satisfied with two rulings of the UNI
pire. demanded that the arbiter be de-
posed. When the Jefferson Powder COM
pany manager refused to submit TO the
proposal, the opposing club was or
dered from the field. Following this
movement the game was forfeited to
the Jefferson Powder club.
l nthe third innings with runner
on first base, the batsman hit the ball
into fair territory and while running
to first was struck by the ball. The
umpire, according to the rules, called
the batsman out, and ordered the run
ner back to first base.
In tile third inning with 4 runner
cision was registered In attempting q
double steal the runner on third base
speeded toward the plate and was de-
clared out by the umpire. After the de-
cision had been rendered it was dis
covered that the catcher had dropped
the ball in attempting to tag the run
ner and the umpire changed Ibis de-
cesion. declaring the runner safe.
As both decisions seemed unfair the
Rising manager demanded that the UNI
pire be deposed. When the other man
ager refused he withdrew his club from
the field. The matter is a much dis
cussed issue with the leaders of the
league The protest will be considered
soon at a regular meeting.

MARTIN TO ENTER
SWIMMING CONTEST
Birmingham Athlete Going
After SOuth's Long Dis
tance Record

Tommy Martin of tile Birmingham Ath-
letic club. who in 1910 and 1911 was the
champion 10 mile swimmer of the south,
will again this year attempt to prove his
supremacy over the crack long distance
swimmers of the south. On August 30 the
Doc Hottum marathon swim, which is
held annually TO determine the champion
long distance swimmer of the south, will
be pulled off in Memphis.
Last year Tommy Martin did not enter
the swim owing to the fact that he was
requested not to do SO by the promoters
OF the meet who stated that as he had
finished first in the two previous marath-
ons they thought that through his en-
france a number of prospective entries
would be kept out
And 1t was in this way that Martin
was tricked out of his title of being the
champion long distance swimmer of the
south. This year he is determined to re-
trieve his title and show the other SWIM
mers that he is still there with the en-
durance.
Martin Is in Memphis sRd is working
out in the Mississippi river every night.
He states that his wind is good and that
the only trouble he is encounterng at
present is slight tendency to become
tired in the upper arms. This he expects
will wear away, with steady work and
he hopes at the time for the start of the
swim he will be in as good condition as
when he placed first in the two other
swimss

WILLINGHAM WILL
MAKE NO COMMENT
Understood, However, That
He Would Accept Presi-
dency of School

Henry J. Wllingham. state superin-
tendent of education. declined to dis
euss last night the vacancy in the pres
idency of the normal college at Flor
enee, to which, it is generally believed,
he will be elected
1t is understood, however, that if the
position is offered, Mr. Willingnam will
accept. 1t is also understood that thu
board of trustees is unanimous in ia
yoring him for the presidency.
There is more interest in the stu
alton than otherwise would be on ac-
count of the fact that the election of
MIR. Willingham would bring about u
vacancy at the head of a state depart
ment 1t is taken for granted that in
case of the vacancy William r. Fea-
gin. chief clerk. will be made superin-
tendent of education. 1t Is also under
stood that e. E. Smith. a wen known
educator of Birmingham, is in line for
the position of chief clerk of the de
partment.
Mr.. Willingham came to Birming
ham last night from Montgomery. He
is en- route to Fayette to attend a
county institute. Educational matters
and conditions, he reports in first rate

ter tha shooting and everything now is
quiet. None of the members Of the mob

organize that even officers on guard at
the hospital were not aware of anything
out of the ordinary until the mob reached

NEGROES ESCAPE
FROM CITY JAIL
Brooks and Thompson Jump
Out of Second Story
Window

a daring escape from the city jail Was
made last night about 10 o'clock when
West Brooks, alias sunnybrook alias the
Baptist, negro, and Arthur Thompson.
a negro alleged to be a pickpocket of
Montgomery. jumped through the second
story of the Jail to the ground S5 feet be-
low. At an early hour this morning the
negroes were still at large
West Brooks was placed in the city
jail Saturday night on the charge of bur
glary and grand larceny following con-
fession made to Detectives Warren and
Darnell to a series of burglaries in Bir-
mingham. According to the detectives
he is one of the most notorious negro
burglars in the United States and had
openly boasted that he would escape from
the city jail. OF Arthur Johnson, little is
known with the exception that he was
from Montgomery and had been arrested
few days ago on charge of picking
pockets.
A remarkable feature of the escape is
that II other negroes who had the same
opportunity to escape refuse to do so.
The wardens in charge of the jail at
tribute this to the fact that the negroes
were in for only trivial charges and re-
fused to jump 30 feet to the stone floor
of the police alley when In the morning
the judge might let th>m off easily. How
ever with West Brooks and Arthur john
son, the case was different and a little
jump of 35 feet did not deter them
1t is charged that the negroes all ap-
Piled theirfstrength in pulling at the bars
of an iron bar frame window and sue
ceeded in pricing 1t loose 1t was then
an easy matter to tie a few blankets to-
gether and drop 50 feet in the rear of
the fire department. The escaped negroes
waited their opportunity and slipped out
of the alley without any one noticing
them. The fact that West Brooks and
Arthur Johnson had escaped was reported
to Warden Evans in charge by one of
the negro prisoners.
Up to an early hour this morning De-
tectives Warren and Darnell searched
the city for the missing West Brooks,
but 1t was of no avail.
