 4 suits of this weeks battles will decide the pennant winner. The con tenders will be given an acid test. Att lanta, the dark horse in the running. has 12 games to play, six against New Orleans and six against Mo bile. Birmingham meets the Nash vile Volunteers in an opening series of four games and winds up with a quartet of conflicts against Memphis.
 If Birmingham maintains its con sistent stride against the Vols and Turtles. all will be over. Otherwise, the final series of the 1914 campaign in Att lanta may decide the issue. Mobile is slowly dropping, while the New Orleans Pels are not going at a live ly clip. Atlanta, alone, is speeding at faster gait than previously
 The Schwartzmen arrive this morn ing for the first engagement. Since tbe Vols last paraded into Birming- ham. several changes have been made. On third base Johnny Dodge, former ly with the Cincinnati Reds. is cavort- ing; Edson Hemmingway is out of the game as the result of fever. Johnny Lindsay, the veteran infelder, is COW ering short. Dave Callahan has been disposed of to Louisville, but Sloan has returned to the game.
 Ieverett, a pitcher secured from Louisville in the deal for Callahan, will likely gain a second trial against Bir- mingham. He was hammered hard on his first appearance. Otherwise, the Vols are in the same condition.

KEENEY'S BILL IS .4
 PROVING POPULAR

New episodes in "The Perils of Fauline," the Eclectic company s famous photo play which is being fol- lowed with interest by local people, will be features of the motion picture program at Keeneys tonight
 The attendance Thursday nights is steadily increasing as result of the popularity of this remarkable story end it is expected that this will be continued again this evening. The episode to be shown tonight requires two reels of unusual length. Pau1ine's experiences are getting more exciting each week and motion picture de- voices are kept speculating as to what will happen next.
 The F'ranconia Opera company continues to gain in popularity with the Keeney patrons, "An Ideal of Ven ice," the operatic sketch which it is presenting being of such high merit that the act is the subject of discus sion among theater-goers. The com pany is without question the best ag- gregation of operatic singers to honor New Britain with a visit. The mem- hers show up to excellent advantage in the solos and also sing creditably in the chorus numbers. They confine LleI1SelVeS elllTely 10 the opera, rem dering selections from some of the most popular musical creations. Lead CT William Johnson and his orchestra deserve credit for the admirable play ing of the difficult score used by the company.
 The Four Regals offer one of the most spectacular gymnastic special ties ever seen here. They do a num- Der of sensational acrobatic feats, in which they exhibit remarkable strength. Their act has unique set ting, the scenic arrangement describ- ing the blacksmith shop of years gone by. ......
 Demitriuse, the Grecian poser, has an act that is entitled to considerable praise. He does some artistic work and is liberally applauded for his efforts every evening. , Prince and Arnold, musicians, have an entertaining pianologue, and Stan ley and Moore make a bid for ap- plause with 0 lively song and con- Versat1onal turn, their medley of pop ular songs finding special favor.

GAS ON THE STOMACH

Flatulence, or gas in the digestive tract, Is an annoying accompaniment Of lntes' tinal indigestion and constipation. As . rule it indicates that food is being retaln- ed in the stomach and intestines longer than nature intended.
 When colicky pains accompany the presence of gas the need of a gentle laxa- tive to clear away the offending food resi- due is imperative. If the condition of constipation is not quickly corrected 8 coated tongue, eruptions on the skin, headaches and backaches soon show that the poisons have found their way into the circulation.
 The use of the gentle laxative pills, Pinklets, will not only banish these un- pleasant symptoms quickly but, if used regularly for reasonable time, will really correct chronic constipation.
 Pinklets are not like harsh purgatives that leave the bowels dry and in the end worse than before. Pinklets gently assist nature, never gripe and are so small and easy to take that they arc known as the dainty laxative. .,,
 Your own druggist can supply you with Pinklets or they will be sent by mail, postpaid, by the Dr. Williams Medicine O., Schenectady, N. Y., at 25c per bottle; Send for the book ''The Dainty Laxative telling how to treat constipation.

STORY OF THE MINES
 IN BIG FOX PICTURE

"The Great Mine Disaster" a pow | erful story of heroic deeds and noble l sacrifices of the men of the under ground world clearly told in four masterful parts will be the special attraction on the big motion picture program at Fox's theater today. A short synopsis of the story follows:
 Walter Preston, mine owner, learns that a strike has been de- clared by his miners, so he and his manager take rigid steps and dis charge the ringleaders, which proves an effective method of settling the strike. The discharged miners plan to be revenged on the manager. Ham, ilton, the manager, calls on the mine owners daughter, and while there shows her a letter from Conway, a mining engineer who applies for a position. On his way home, he is waylaid by the two miners whom he had discharged, they murderously attack him, but assistance come un- expectedly. Frank Conway chances to see the attack, and puts the ruff fans to flight which pleases the man. ager, and which puts him in imme- diate favor with him, and rewards n1In WlCu Iuc pOSlliOl "HiSu AiC e.P- piled for. Soon after Conway meets the manager, who is strolling with the mine-owner anc his daughter, introduces himself and tells of his brave act The manager and the mine owner go off to discuss some new project leaving Conway and she girl together. The girls charming personality makes a profound impress sion on the young engineer, who IS quite smitten with her. The incl dents leading up to the great mine disaster, the rescue of the young en- gineer, and the death of the manager who lost his life in the brave rescue are so clearly and tensely told, Us 10 stamp this production as one or the hest shown here this season.
