TWILIGHT LEAGUE

With the outcome Of the league race
Ringing upon this afternoons game,
the Twilight fans can expect the
greatest game of the season. With the
Norris out after the Alagas and the
Alagas camping on the trail of the
Norris Crew, the fur is bound to fly
when the jumps says the word go.
The Norris are now one game ahead
of the Alagas and a victory for the
Norris means the cups for them. but
a victory for the Alagas will mean a
championship series. Therefore, there
can be no doubt as to this game be-
ing of all Importance.
This game will be strictly contest
between youngsters and old heads
The Norris team is composed of
fast bunch of kids graduated from the
Boys league last year. They have
been putting up some fast fielding
work all year and at the bat they are
about as good as any other team in
| the league.
The AIagas consist of more seasoned
players and are not liable to blow up
in a pinch. They have been playing
consistent ball all season, and are
dangerous at all times with the will
low.
As to the relative pitching strength
OF the two teams, it would be a hard
matter to say that either team had
anything on the other Love and Wal
ker Bombay are both newcomers in the
league and have been doing some ex-
ceIlent work in the box. Everybody
may expect to see some Al hurling
this afternoon.
This is the last game of the Twilight
schedule and as so much depends unon
its outcome, the East Hill playground
should be crowded. Ladies are e~ne-
cially invited to see this greatest Of
all battles. and a goodIy number of
grandstand spectators would be apnre-
ciated by the playground manager
The services of 'Dud'' Barrow and
Gerald Oliver have been secured for
this game anG the players will be glad
TO hear that these two old war horses
are to ogdciate.
The game will be called promptly at
$50.

with the speed of a meteor before the

Baseball fans have been so inter
Gsted in the spectacular climb of the
Boston Braves from bottom to Top in
less than two months that the con-
tinued good work of the St. Louis Car

that the Cards stand a better chance
of winning She pennant than either
the Giants or the Braves.
der a tremendous strain during the
past few weeks. and this strain bids
fair soon to tell on them--especially
as Stallings has been forced to de-
pend upon only three pitchers, Ru-
dOlph, James and Tyler. Meanwhile
Huggins has been getting his club
into the best straeegical position. The
Cards have been playing fast steady
ball. They have stuck consistently
TO third place and at no time have
they been under any undue strain.
That the pennant fight in the Ma
tiOnal league will be between the
Cards. Braves and Cubs is the belief
of many we'll informed baseball men.
They declare that McGraws pitching
staff is shot to pieces and that the
rest of the team is so completely de-
moralized that there is no chance for
even so great a leader as McGraw to
sidestep the slump.

CITIZENS HOLD
SCHOOL MEETING
SESSION OF THE PENSACOLA
SPECIAL TAX SCHOOL DIS
TRIcT ASSOCIATION HELD AT
THE CITY HALL.

A group Of Pensacola citizens, un
daunted by the events Of the day
gathered at the city hall last night to
receive the report of the special com
mittee appointed last May to arrange
boundaries, petitions and working
committee for the launching Of
special tax school district for Pensa-
cola.
1t was the opinion OF the body that
since the district to be established
would levy taxes for 1915. there was
no reason to drop the idea and the
committee was authorized to act for
the Pensacola Special Tax School Dis
trict Association, and in it's discretion
to further the campaign.
It was reported that all Of Escam-
bia county was organized into special
districts with the exception Of Myrtle
Grove and Pensacola and the need and
desirability of Pensacola thus organiz-
ing as soon as that might seem ex-
pedient was fully appreciated by the
meeting.
The special committee on motion ad-
vised that the matter would doubtless
be taken up with the various home and
school leagues of each school.

Underestimated 4
Fighting Spirit
of the Belgians
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London. August 1.-THE German
army investing Liege underestimated
the lighting qualities OF the Belgians
and paid terrible penalty for their
daring, in the opinion Of Victor II.
DuraS. American vice consul at Liege.
IS quoted by the Brussels correspond
ent OF the Times.
The correspondent says that Mr..
Duras VAS an eye witness of the trst
two days Of the siege, which he des-
Cribes. The Belgians permitted Gener-
al Won Emmich's forces TO actually
pass tho forts IN their march on tho
town and then attacked them in the
rear from the forts and in their front
man casualties as from FIVE TO ten
times as great as those OF the defend
ers.
speaking as neutral says Mr..
Duras. according to the Times cor
respondent" II seems TO be part OF tho
new military tactics of the Germans to
fight as much AS possible in the night
time. Comparatively little lighting oc-
CURED at Liege during the day.
The scheme Of the Belgians defense
seemed not TO make any serious re
sistance to the attack until the Ger
man troops were actually past the forts
Then, when they were close up to the
town and their several bodies trying
to combine. fire was opened upon them
from the forts behind and from rifles
and machine guns in front. so they
were caught in a trap and retreat was
cut off. There was nothing for them
to do but to be shot down or surrender.
The amount of suffering on both
sides. owing to the inability to deal
promptly with the wounded was very
great but especially TO the Germans.
whose, casualties were from five to ten
times numerous as those among the
Belgians.
The Germans paid a terrible penal
ty for the boldness OF their scheme ot
attack which. from a military point
of view. could be justified only by a
conviction on the part that the Ger
man officers that they would meet with
only the feeblest resistance. The mis-
take they made was in undertaking
the fighting qualities OF the peaceful
Belgian.

The disease has appeared in or near

Of Restoring the

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, August 14.-Captains of
finance and industry conferred today
with President Wilson and Secretary
McAdoo on measure to uphold the
commerce and credit of the United
States during theEuropean war.
Headed by J. P. Morgan, James J.
Hill, James Speyer and other promi
nent figures in the nations business
| life, they discussed means of restor-
ing Americas trans Atlantic trade and
the financial situation at home gener-
ally.
The conference agreed that the first
move must be to find ships to carry
cargoes congesting railroads and ter
nlinals. 1t was the general opinion,
however, that the government must
cargoes, as already had been done by
England and France, or the amend
nent to the shipping laws to bring
foreign vessels under American regis
try would lose much of its value. The
proposal to lower or substitute the gold
reserves in the banks was not taken
up.
The question of providing a means
of foreign exchange also was discussed
as one of the paramount problems to
be DISPOSED Of with the resumption of
trade.
After a conference at the treasury
department where Secretary McAdoo
outlined the financial situation from
the governments point of view. the
business men went to the White House
to be received by the president
Along with the discussions planned
to clear up the export situation was

South Will Not
Be Hurt by War

The alarm of the cotton planters in
the south over the war situation is
not shared by many Of the financial
leaders Of the country.
A. Barton Hepburn, chairman OF
the Chase National bank, of New
York, has sent the following telegram
to Congressman Underwood at Wash
ington:
Tho south is unnecessarily alarmed
over the prospective reduction in de-
mand for and price Of cotton in view
of the general European war. Euro
pean manufacturers may not require
the usual amount of cotton, but Amer
lean manufacturers will require it all.
TT is inevitable that all oversee
trade Of Germany will be at the mercy
OF any nation which first seeks it and
can best serve the former patrons Of
Germany. OF all nations. the United
States is in the best position to take
and hold the trade. Merchants, manu-
facturers, bankers and statesmen
should work together for that purpose
First, liberalize our shipping laws
Germany supplied the coarse and
cheaper cotton trade of Mexico, Cen
trail and South America, Africa, Asia,
and the Orient generally.
There will be no embargo on the
commerce Of the Pacific. Our cotton
should go abroad not as raw material,
but as a finished product, and when
the war of Europe is over we should
hold largely the trade that now is
waiting to fall into our hands"
This expression is in direct line
with the most thoughtful opinions of
the country And particularly peril
nent to the situation is the fact. as ex-
pressed above, that there will be no
embargo Of commerce on the Pacific.
With the opening of the Panama
canal. the commerce of the south,
which is under absolute protection,
will have as easy access to the Paci-
fic as to the Atlantic and our South
American commerce will of course be
easy and free.
If America, and the south particu-
larly, takes advantage of the war sit
ution it will mean the building of a
South Americn and Oriental commerce
that will insure the prosperity of this
section for generations to come
