 Dr. Simpsons Speech Dr. J. D. Simpson followed MT. Shook and pointed out the healthful conditions of Birmingham and the beauties of the Birmingham college site. He said that curing the last session of the school only | three cases of illness were reported, one for appendicitis, another for gallstope and another for deep-rooted abcess. None of the cases were caused by local conditions, he said.

YPoN the development of the
 x-rav photo of Curley Browns O iniured rib. it was found that the injured slat was not frac.oreo but was slightly bruised. Had the rib been fractured, the lone baron southpaw would have been out or commission for 10 days at least, but it is now expected that he will re- sume his twirling within the next few days.
 The announcement that the fall Tn Chattanooga did not result Tn real disaAiement will remove heavy care from the shoulders of Manager Moies- worth. It will mean that Brown VIII be In form to pitch early next week at the latest Had Brown been dls- abled for 10 days, Birmingham would be placed in an obviously desperate situation. The little southpaw has been flinging grand ball for the Bar ons.
 The penchant of the umpires to- wards drowsiness is putting cr1Inp in Eddie McDonald's cunning plays. The hidden ball" trick, though aged as Fffeld's grizzled dome, has been worked successfully nine times by the Baron third sacker, according to Manager Molesworth, but he has gained the decision from the arbiters but two times. On the seven other occasions the umpires have failed to see the play On one memorable oc- casion, Mcdonald nipped Kirby at third in Mobile and evaded a defeat. Such a play as the hidden bali' oc- CUTS at the crisis of a ball game, Tor a runner must occupy third at the time of the maneuver. And thus seven times the Barons have been robbed at critical stages. Were the single umpire system in operation, the ar biters could easily be excused, but when two umpires are supposed to be on the job there can be no aiibi.
 
 For a man of Kavanaugh's execu- tive ability and foresight it is strange that he would not assign two capable umpires to cover such an important series as the present one. Birming- ham is the best ball town in the league, but invariably draws the least alert umpires on the staff. While the other cities are having OToole, Rudderham and Kerin to handle the exhibitions, Birmingham continues to draw the least efficient members.
 Harry Welchonce and several other Crackers were banished yesterday by Umpire F1field About the sixth in- ming, the Atlantans on the bench en- joyed a slight chatfest and so Fffield thought they should be silenoed. As he could not discern the guilty par ties he decided to remove all of them. Welchonce interceded and drew for his plea a wrathy reply that meant ''out of the game" The bases were crowded when Jennings, substituted for the heavy hitting Cracker, ap- peared at the bat.
 The game dragged through two hours and % minutes. Had the teams tied up in the ninth, it is to be doubt ed whether an additional inning could have been played. The umpires made no effort to hurry the players along. Observing that the first six innings had consumed two hours time, Fifield decided to retard matters further by attempting to put the bench warmers out of the dugout.
 There is no reason why nine-inning game should exceed two hours, un- less it is a general slugfest. The Att lanta team engages in throwing the
