under his weak fly TO short right. Burns
popped to Baker, while Shafer once more
struck out.

grounding to Doyle, but Strunk sent one

Strunk took third. The carnival con-

the plate when Merkle fooled Bender's

Eighth Inning.

Herzog got his first hit of the series, a
single TO left field, but was forced at sec
ond by Doyle, whose grounder to Collins
was gobbled up and tossed TO Barry.
Fletcher then smashed a savage grounder
straight to the box, and Bender picked II
up and threw TO Barry, forcing out Doyle.
Luck smiled on Bender in this play, for
his toss was wild and Barry stood up on
his toes and caught the ball with the tips
OF his fingers. Barry's catch played its
part IL the ultimate result Fletcher,
naturally, was safe on a fielder's choice.
He scored from first when Burns drove a
welcome double into the left field. Bender
was plainly up In the air as "A result OF
the unexpected cudgelling. and Shafer took
advantage Of the opportunity TO drive one
down to the exit gate in right field for

courage. He removed Barry on a fly TO

Ninth Inning.

The Giants tried to pull the game out OF
the fire in the ninth inning McGraw
sent Matty out to timber up. and called
upon the last of his guard Of honor. Gran
dali was put in to bat in place of Wilson,
but the Hoosier failed to get his hard hit
grounder through Collins. When Merkle
came to the plate Bender paid him the
compliment of stopping and shifting the
players behind him. He moved Oldrins
over toward centre. Strunk over toward
right field and waved Murphy TO play
deep. Following all this he sent a fast
ball over, which Merkle drove TO Murphy.
Grant was placed TO bat for Marquard,
and after fouling off three or four balls
lifted n little one behind the plate, which
Schang gathered in for the final out OF
the game.

Fare Reduced to Five Cents

The Birmingham Railway, Light
and Power company's offer to reduce
the fare from Wylam and Fairfield to
cents is move in the right direction
and shows liberal spirit on the part
of President Ford.
The street car company has been
criticized for many things-criticized
often unjustly no doubt, for corpora
tions come in for a great deal of abuse
in these days, where commendation
might be in order-but in the instance
referred to the company should be
heartily applauded, for the concession
to the people of Wylam and Fairfield
was voluntary.
1T had been suggested that this 5
cents fare for the benefit of the out
lying sections of Birmingham should
entitle the passengers to a transfer to
the uttermost ends of the city in the
eastern direction. This does not fol-
low. Birmingham is now aNlarge mu-
nicipality and covers an area of SO
square miles, The residents of Wylam
and Fairfield have occasion to come
into the business district often and
they naturally wish to ride for the
standard minimum price. Compare
lively few would travel beyond the
central part of Birmingham. The few
who do will not mind paying an extra
fare.
The city commission should waste
no time in considering President
Fords proposition. 1t should be
promptly accepted.

ALL HAIL THE CAMEL.

From Life, July 81.
News comes from the insiders that the
camel is to be imported into this country
and domesticated and increased so that
he may vie with the useful cow The
camel used to live ON this continent sew
eral aeons ago. He was driven across
Behring strait by the ice. 1t is hoped
that he may take up the threads of life
where he left off. The camel is sex-
tremely useful. He can subsist without
highballs or ice water! Cancels milk
makes excellent cheese, and sbawls made
from camers hair are a splendid covering
for old gentlemen. As means of ex-
ercise the camel is not to be despised
Perhaps, however. the best use of the
camel will be as an example to our rici
men, Most of them are likely to forget
how difficult it is for a camel to go
through the eye of a needle. But when
camels begin to mingle with our scenery
advertisements and are seen occasionally
walking up and down Fifth avenue and
Pennsylvania avenue, who knows but that
these humble instruments of Providence

may serve as object lessons and thus be
useful in other ways than to satisfy

From the Louisville Courier-Journal
A Chicagoan entered a New York res
taurant and ordered, among other things,
vichy with ice.
From this point the tale is told by the
New York World:
Where's the ice?" asked the Chica-
go man when the waiter brought the
vichy.
Its cold enough without ice,' Mar
cein is qouted as replying.
Smith insisted on ice and Marcelin
brought it, but not until the vichy had
been drunk. Then Smith ordered soft
shell crabs and tartar sauce.
Where is the tartar sauce?" asked
Smith when the crabs arrived
They do not eat tartar sauce with
shoft shell crabs in New York, sir re-
turned the waiter. They never do it, sir
"'Well, they are going to do it now,
Smith said with some heat.
"1'n get tartar sauce for you If you
want it, SIR said Marcelin. He returned
with it after Smith had eaten the crabs" :"
Then, according to the World, the Chi
cagoan paid for his dinner, asked for
Louis Martin, the proprietor, and COM
planned of the service. The proprietor ex-
pressed regret, and the waiter was or
dered to the kitchen, but he slipped out
side door, ran around to the front of
the restaurant and assaulted the Chica-
goan. striking him upon the nose with his
fist
''The morals plain without more fuss"
in the language of Sheridan. When din

waiter Make up to him If you know
how. Tip him in any event. Bear in nina
that knives and forks may be used as

Watching the Progressiyes

In the final analysis, vote against
the Underwood Simmons traiff is a
vote for the Payne-Aldrich tariff. The
most subtle sophist cannot obscure this
fact. A vote against the democratic
measure is vote for the continuance
of the republican measure now on the
statute books. Now what do the pro-
pressives prospose to do?
There are LaFollette and Cummins
and Bristow and Gronna and several
more. They fought, under the leader
ship of the mighty Dolliver, against
the favoritism of many shedules of
the tariff bill which marked the last
stand Of the "Old Guard" They re-
allied that the people were in earnest
in their demand for a lowering of du-
ties, and they realized that Taft was
swept into power upon a platform
which declared for a revision down
ward.
Yet, since the Underwood Simmons
measure has been before the Senate, it
was LaFollette who has stood at the
right hand of Penrose in leading the
opposition. 1t would seem, however,
that the progressives have heard a
neW call from the people. Smoot, dis
ciple of the Aldrich school of tariff
carpenters, prepared a substitute for
| Schedule X, that which deals with
wool, but it failed to meet the ap-
proval of some members of his own
party. Mr.. LaFolette felt it incum-
bent upon himself to write a substi-
tute of his own. 1t marks new split
in the ranks of the republicans.
LaFollette is as much protection
ist as is Smoot or Penrose or Aldrich.
The Wisconsin man believes, however,
that protection should not be as great
as that provided in the present tariff.
The democratic idea, as exemplified in
the views of Oscar w. Underwood, for
instance, is entirely different from the
idea of Mr.. LaFollette. Mr. Underwood
says bluntly that the protection of
profits is graft, and he stands for a
tariff for revenue only, although he
would not disturb business by radi-
cal reduction of customs, preferring TO
allow all lines of commerce to adjust
themselves to conditions as they
change.
1t has been believed all the time
that Mr.. Poindexter of Washington
would vote for the democratic tariff
bill upon final passage. Some other
progressives may decide to join him.

A Prosnerous Yenr

Notwithstanding the talk in New York
and In some other cities about tight
money in the spring and early summer
there has been about as much business
prosperity throughout the country as
there was last year, which witnessed q
high degree of prosperity said L, T.
Boutwell, of Chicago.
THE severe slump in the New York
stock market had demoralizing effect in
some directions, but since the market
started on an upward movement the
Frightening aspect Is talked about every
where 1t may be recalled that business
in the early part of last year was dull,
but that in June all commerciar and In
dustria lines became active, and the
great crops of 1912 brought on boom for
the summer which lasted until Christmas.
In some respects conditions now are
similar to those of last year. A decided
Improvement started in with the summer
when the crop outlook was encouraging.
As we near August there is every indi-
cation of enormous crops.
Birmingham is unquestionably very
busy city. Every interest here seems
to be thriving. | had not been here IN

The Moose Inquiry :

When Donald Kenny and Christie
pher Gustin came to their deaths while
undergoing a ceremony of initiation
into the Order of Moose, Coroner
Spain at once announced that he pro-
posed to probe the entire affair to the
bottom. Officials of the local lodge,
who requested postponement OF the in
quiry because they were to be called
out of the city, were informed that
prompt action was deemed requisite,
and that there would be no delay.
Since the night of the tragedies,
Coroner Spain has been engaged in
the investigation of other mysterious
deaths, and the inquest in the cases of
Kenny and Gustin has not yet been
begun. No doubt the delays so far en-
countered have been unavoidable; yet,
in the mind of the public quite a
change has come over the attitude of
the coroner. He announces that the
Kenny and Gustin inquests will be
held behind closed doors; that one wit
ness will be interrogated at time and
that all will be put under the rule in
order that any outside discussion of
the case may be punishable; that
newspaper reporters will be excluded;

NOT THE SAME THING

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
This overheard conversation appeals t
the weary one as nearly epigrammatic
The young people on the seat ahead of us
in the homeward bound car the other
night talked 1t out SO loud that We
couldn't help learning 1t and jotting dowr
few notes on it.
'So.' said the girl, 'he said he knew
me when / was a little girl?'
"He didn't say anything of the sort,
contradicted the man.
''You said he did,
II didn't"
'Why Then what did you say?''
II said he said he knew you when ts
was a boy"
That put such a wet blanket on the
conversation that we were able to reac

next few blocks.
