TROUBLES OF MR.. FORD.

The fact that Mr.. Ford is 10 grad
ually lay off factory hands until the
number of 5000 will be without EN-
ployment for a time has attracted
several times as much attention as
similar action by numerous employ
ers of the country. Word comes from
washington that the federal govern
ment is to begin an inquiry into
causes. Whether Humans gallows
ID to be used or not only the re-
suits of the inquiry will determine.
The management announces that the
retrenchment is due to slack business
and the cause assigned for such
slackness is reasonable on its face.
1t is explained that the operation of
the factory continuously, night and
day. in three eight-hour shifts, en-
abled it 10 fill all orders. 1t is not
customary for factories TO accumu-
store the same. When the surplus
has been disposed of abroad at re-
duced prices in competition with
foreign goods it has given rise to a
charge that American customers were
being robbed. Every tariff campaign
has been enliyened with discussions
of this practice.
But Mr.. Ford must suffer the PEN
alties of his prominence. due to his
profit-sharing plan and his minimum
wage of IS a day. His competitors
criticised him severely for his re-
form, charging that it would de-
range labor conditions in all automo-
bile factories. Some customers srgn-
ed that the price of the Ford product
should have been reduced. New
competitors began TO push cheap
made cars. spurred by the story OF
his enormous profits. Amid the
praise from humanitarians was some
censure, the espionage of the favor
ed employees being a source Of much
Of the criticism. One Socialist editor
accused Mr.. Ford of trying TO own
his employees, body and soul. When
away his wealth he has suffered a
similar fate. Mr.. Carnegie's various
hobbies have been criticised from
one end OF the country to the other.
" he had kept his money or built
mansions with it or invested it in
yachts he would have escaped cen
sure except as a general horrible ex-
ample of a plutocrat. But when he
decided that he would spend his
fortune for the public good. every
tody considered the decision an in
vitation to show that while Mr.. Car
negie might know how tic make mon
ey he had not the remotest concep-
ception Of how 1t should be apeEt.
That Mr.. Ford's latest move is
dictated by his best business judg-
ment will not be questioned by any

as to the cause of retrenchment will
consequently oe without value, even
il Mr.. Brandeis or Mr.. Redfeld him
self should conduct ii and make a re
port on now the automobile industry
should he conducted. But an inquiry
as to the effect on the Ford en-
ployes would be interesting. Has the
promise of employment of an unusu-
ally remunerative kind any effect on
the habits of the employees? What
is their attitude toward Mr.. Ford
since the announcement of ~retreneh-
ment The way of the philanthropist
is sometimes almost as hard as that
of the transgressor and Mr.. Ford is
entitled to public sympathy in his
troubles.

 FRONT OF STRUGGLE
Mobile Supplanted As League Leaders By New
 Orleans-BarOns Second

Atlanta, August 16.-New Orleans took the lead over all clubs in the Southern association during the week just closed, forging ahead of Mobile, which dropped to third place after occupying front posi- tion for several weeks. The Pelicans won four of their six games, while Mobile lost five of it's six. Birmingham, by win ming five and losing one, advanced to second place. Atlanta remained in fourth with a slight margin over Nashville, the latter having taken fifth place from Chat tanooga. Memphis and Montgomery again brought up the rear of the procession in the order named.
 Rain interfered with many contests, cnly "A having been played, not counting those scheduled today. Mobiles unexpect- ed slump and the remarkably good record of Birmingham were the prominent fea- lures. A wider percentage margin now separates first division teams which here tofore have been closely punched
 The record of the clubs for the week follows:
 New Orleans: Won 4, lost 2.
 Birmingham: Won B. lost 1.
 Mobile: Won l. lost 6.
 Atlanta: Won 3. lost 2, tied l.

Anniston, August 16-(SpeciaD Only one week and two days remain of the season of 1914 of the Georgia Alabama league. Games in the circuit will come to close with the endings of the game Of the 25th of the month.
 This is the second year of the Geor- gia-Alabama league and really the fourth year of the Southeastern league. The latter circuit disbanded in 1912 and the Georgia Alabama league was formed with practically the same clubs holding forth in the towns which com posed the Southeastern. In 1913 New Tan, LaGrange and Opelika took the places of Rome, Selma and Bessemer. In that year the league finished the season with every club in the circuit which started the season. This year Selma and Rome withdrew from the Appalachian and Cotton States leagues and asked admittance into the Georgia Alabama league
 The league has been almost twice as fast this season as it was last and there are several players who have already been bought. The only hitch in the gait was the Gadsden scare. This city threw up the sponge and three weeks ago it was thought that the cir cult was going to receive a sudden death. However. President Boykin sat tight in his seat and steered the league

M'DONALD RAILROADED TO |.
 BENCH BY UMPIRE

Win Kellum, officiating behind the plate, met with few complaints but Theo- dore Breitenstein, for years a New Or leans star performing on the bases, gave several questionable decisions and de- prived Birmingham of McDonald's service at critical stage. After Higgins had grounded out to Johnson, Wilson larruped the first ball pitched sharply to left. Tim Hendryx hit. a slow grounder to the Bar on third sacker. Mcdonald recovered the roller and shot it to Covington at first. The return forced the first sacker to move in toward home, but he jabbed the cush- ion with his foot before Hendryx arrived and Breitenstein impulsively decided that the Pel had been downed and jerked his arm backwards. Suddenly he capriciously reversed his decision. Turning the palms of his battle maimed hands to the ground and emphasizing the de- csion with second motion. Immediate ly the Barons rushed at the arbitor, vast ed urgent and vitriolic words in an effort to gain a decision. Mcdonald led the movement and was ordered off the field. hefty arm of the law appeared and enforced the order Chubby Carlton Moesworth replaced Carroll in center, while the versatile youngster substituted at third.

 first hit had surmounted Birmingham's early lead, repeated with line drive that looked good for another safety. Clyde Mcbride sped backward with the crack of the bat, crashed into the left field fence and pulled the drive down against his chest
 With the exception of McDonald's mis- play, the Barons heded without fault Ellam and Marcan grabbed drive after drive without pebble. while the out field performed in fine mode Bluhm and Starr prevented a more deci- sive victory In the fourth inning, Bluhm | robbed Tragesser with a one-handed leap into the air for the third out Coving- l ton had rounded second when the feat occurred and might have registered.

are keyed up to the highest tensryx and, with visions of pennant at their Zenith opportunity will not knocs. at the Baronial postern vainly.
 From possible second or third ranker. the local hire1ines have spurred forward as a real pennant contender. No longer does the pen nant lie between only the Gulls and Pelicans. The Barons have girted their belts tighter and gone forth to conquor. What they did in 1912 when the Gulls were ruthlessly passed on the wayside. can be done again this year. The absence of Pitcher Dock Robertson will doubtless be felt, but the four other hurfers on the staff have doegedly placed their shoulders to the wheel and are shouldering this extra burden unconpplainingly.
 Of course the teams are laundering down the final lap and the race is by no means decided. Much can hap pen between now and the middle Of September and by that time the Bar ons may be floundering in the wake of their present. rivals. Let us hope not The Barons have demonstrated that they can stand the gaff. They are full of fight and to them the game is not over until the final man is out in the final round. They have demon- strated this time and again by rush ing out frantically in the ninth and a through fusilade of stinging base hits dragged the engagement from the rocks We have faith in Manager Molesworth. we also have faith in his staunch band of followers. None of them are quitters and their indi- viduality has been welded Into com pact fighting machine. No penart is being predicted for them and none, will be for awhile but all praise toA them and their leader. They are meeting unflinchingly the acid test of the season and though the hectic struggle is waxing fiercer. they are prevailing against their rivals.
 Who knows but within another day tie Barons may be perched with qualification in first place, showing their colleagues the path that les be- fore. And again, the bewilder q Pel- jeans may effect a desperate reor- ganization and beat back the DOW erful onrush of the Barons Todoy is the day of all days. First place looms up as a reality and nervously the loyal followers of the bold Barons are awaiting the outcome of this truly important battle.
 All of which brings to mind that the fruits of victory belong to he who is best prepared, and it is to be hoped. that the Barons will end their longN travail, crowded with the laLrels of success.

ARTHUR JOHNSON

was given four successive balls Eddie Mcdonald slashed Wilson's fourth toss over Hendryxs dome In center field and scored the first run. Carroll flied out to Sylvester, the hero of the battle for New Orleans. without advancing Mcdonald, but Stewart drew a pass On the first pitch to Mcbride Stewart started for second. Higgins whipped the pellet to Lindsay and Mcdonald was nipped at third on desperate fade-away slide. Me Bride lined out to center. Johnson served three hitless rounds to New Orleans, while Wilson was bothered in each the first and second. In the third the lanky right handler suffered a reversal of form and the Pels overcame the handicap With Starr out, Barbare rocked left field fence with a drive that just failed to carry owe rthe border. Hemphill responded with drive between short and third that Ellam missed by a hairs breadth margin with his bare hand. Fast fielding held Barbare at third. Lindsay grounded out to Mcdonald and went out without advancing the sprinters. Harry Sylvester sent the 6O00 wild fans into frenzy with wallop over Ellam's head that scored both Barbare and Hemphill.
 Wilson grew stronger and set the Bar ons down without run in the next two sessions although Starr's sensational stab of McBride's liner prevented Carroll from
 
 seventh, Birmingham registered the two tallies that humbled New Orleans and sent the Barons nearly on a parity with New Orleans
 Covington watched two successive strikes dart over the plate without chal- lenge. He famed on the third toss. Will son opened on Ellam by serving ball. but evened up with a strike. A sweeping curve recorded a second strike, but the Baron captain watched three successive slants shoot by without challenge and was rewarded with a base on balls Ira gesser smote the third ball pitched to him between Hemphill and Hendryx and advanced Ellam to third. While the short stop outsped Hendryx's tardy peg to third Walter advanced to second Johnson took a first strike, but grounded the second to Starr, who made neat recovery and poised for a throw.
 In expectation of a return to the plate Higgins advanced hastily two or three feet towards third base, blocked home plate completely and braced himself for the throw. Ellam, undaunted by the crafty maneuver, spurted toward the rub Der, collided with fierce impact against the receivers bulk and rebounded aside, in the midst of the crash the bal was knocked from the Pel catcher's clutch. bounded towards the stands Higgins, dazed by the collision, glanced uncon- sciously around while Ellam scampered to his feet, touched the plate and stood there exhorting Tragesser to continue with the greatest speed Before Wilson could retrieve the ball the catcher scored the run that proved to be the winning tally.
 New Orleans threatened in each of the last three sessions, but Johnson baffled the pinch hitters and achieved vic tory.

GA. l.. NEARING CLOSE;
 PENNANT YET UNDECIDED

through the storm and the Gadsden club Is now being carried as floater. All of the clubs will be in the leagu next season and there is some talk of Columbus, Ga, withdrawing from the South Atlantic league and joining this circuit, in place of the Gadsden club
 Among the players who have been purchased by higher leagues Karr is the most prominent one. This fellow jumped the Selma club to join a semi professional club in Tennessee. He was spotted by Mike Finn, given trial and was then purchased from Selma Since that time Detroit has purchased him from Memphis. Finn has also bought Burke and Shirley from Mem phis. Camp of Talladega was sold into the Georgia State league and from there he went to Chattanooga. Don aldson of Anniston is under considera- tfon by one of the clubs in the Texas league. Smith of Rome is going to be drafted by Cleveland. Baker of Talla- dega has been grabbed by St. Louis Lamar, Tisdale, Abbott and McLin of Anniston Waldren and o. Donaldson of LaGrange; May. Teddy and Long of Newman; Wilson and Knox of Talla- dega are being carefully looked over by both big league and minor scouts and most of them will probably be drafted or bought
 This week has experienced the first division teams winning and the last four teams losing. The whole interest in the league is now centered around Selma and Newman in their race for the pennant. Neither team has lost a game since the Selma Newman series in the Georgia town, when Selma won three out of the four games played.
 A post-season series by Talladega and Anniston will be played. Should the series end in tie the deciding game will likely be played on neutral srounds-most likely Birmingham, should the Barons be on the road at that time.

N ELEGATED by the thoroughly
 frightened Johnny Dobbs to 0 impede the irresistible on- slaught of the pennant-crazed Barons, Young Ffnis Wilson, the pride of the Crescent City, was offered to the Barons in the opening engagement yesterday and, in a Herculean pitch Johnson. failed to forestall the prog ress pennantward of Carlton Moles- worth's fighting brigade.
 Young Wilson was considered by Johnny Dobbs to be his one best bet against the locals. About two weeks ago, to be exact. on August 6, the Pelicans opened at Redwood against the Barons and. the prize portwheeler was sent on the mound in an effort to thwart their designs. By holding the Baron batters in the palm of his hand for nine innings, he retired from the fray unscathed and on the populous end of 40 count. Although he yield walks. Wilson proved himself an enigma in the pinches and only one Baron survived to reach the hot cor ner.
 Because of apparent ability to hold the locals helpless, Wilson was dis patched to the firing line in the open ing game of this crucial series and, but for tumble by Higgins, might have been successful
 The blame for defeat, however. should not be registered against Catcher Higgins, but attributed to one Roy Ellam, captain of the Baro- nial fighting corps. A daring, whirl- wind plunge to the plate in .he sev- enth frame by the aforesaid player caused Higgins to tumble the relay to the plate and permitted the counting of two runs, the first tying the score and the other causing victory to perch on the Baronfal battlement.
 Against their two strongest rivals in the fierce pennant chase, the Barons have not faltered and four straight games have enabled them to suddenly overhaul the Gulls. suppant them in second place and approach to within two points of the fioundering Crescent City aggregation.
 The opportunity for which the Bar ons have long waited has made it's appearance and from the way they disposed of the Gulls and have started into the Pelicans, it is plainly evil dent that they intend to take full ad- vantage of the opening. The players

ries The Braves now are but three and a half games behind the McGrawites and playing at clip which bids fair to land them at the top in short order, as the Giants appear to be wobbling in all de- partments.
 St. Louis and Chicago are tied, only two games behind Boston, and a spurt by either with slump by the Braves would do damage to the Bostonans' hopes. The rest of the teams still are in the ruck, with Cincinnati occupying the cellar po- sition.
 The American league race is much an affair of the Athletics, with the rest comparatively nowhere. There seems little prospect of any club preventing the Mackmen, with their eleven game lead, from participating in the next world s series. They have won 25 out of their last 2S games. Boston and Washington are fighting for second position. wi.h the Red Sox having the better of it. Detroit has been slumping with both Chicago and St Louis picking up again.
