By REuREN A. LEWIS

Allsons fleet-footed sprinting robbed Curley Brown of no-hit battle against the Memphis team at Redwood yester- day The little Baron southpaw downed the Turtles for nine consecutive rounds without yielding a clean hit. but Peter Allison, the speedy center fielder, put a crimp in the portwheeler's aspirations of a hitless battle by outrunning two infield grounders. The antquated George Mer- ritt twirled for Memphis and held Bir- ninsham without a safety until the fifth inning. but weakened in the closing rounds and Birmingham won, ? to 0.
 The fight was a merry one. With Cur ley Browns fioater. mixed deceptively with his fast ball, the Turtles were com pletely baffled. But 29 Turtles appeared at the plate in nine innings The two bases on balls recorded against the left handler came in the first inning, but in each of the eight succeeding innings, but three men batted against him. Allisons two infield hits occurred in the third and sixth, but the following batsman hit into a double play in the third and Pete was thrown out attempting to steal in the sixth.
 Eddie Mcdonald returned to third base and celebrated his entrance by dis play of scintilating fielding. In the sec ond, the third sacker robbed Lusk of a Texas leaguer with backward running catch. Schlei's vicious grounder followed Lusk's hoist. It was too hot to handle, but Mcdonald knocked it down, recovered quickly and begged Schei out with a lightning throw to first. Mcbride effected leaping one-handed catch of Dunckels s line drive to the sunfield in the eighth and probably saved a three-base wal lop Lusk starred afield for Memphis, when he nipped Marcan's short fly down "a ird f1a,al

Political Situation.


Congress wants 10 adjourn. Members are getting
anxious Fences need looking after In the Demo-
cratiSranks there is feeling that an election win not
be the easy thing il two years ago. while many
Republicans are disturbed by the fact that rival
aspirants are diligently working,
1t looks, however, as if the Congressmen would
have to remain here time In the first place. the
Mexican situation is by settled, and Congress
is not likely away and leave the entire response
hily upon the President. The second factor in the
case is the determination of President Wilson
cure antitrust legislation at this session Leading
Democrats do not believe that this action is either
necessary or wise. Many of them have communicated
their views to the President but they have not been
able to make him change his position They argue
that business has already been disturbed to the ut
most, and that more legislation would be like the
proverbial straw upon the camers back. The Presi-
dent on the other hand insists that the country ex
poets further regulation Of the trusts by the Demo-
cratic party and that unless action is taken the
Republican campaign orators will taunt the Demo-
cratic party with being controlled by the interests
The President will, of course, have his way. There
never was Congress so loyal and devoted to Presi
dent as the present House is toward President Wilson
1t will dance to any tune which he may play.

Public Sentiment the Remedy.

Addressing the American Cotton Manufacturers
Association, Frank A. yanderlip, president of the
National City Bank, New York. describing, the prev
alent suspicion dstrust and persecution under which
the nations business has been and is languishing
declared that the only way to effect change is to
create sounder more intelligent and more honest
public opinion" Admitting that the task is difficult
one, he urged his hearers to undertake it as public
duty.
Mr.. Vanderlip undoubtedly prescribed sure and
permanent remedy for the malignant disease which
has prostrated industry and enterprise in this great
country possessed of lmtess natural resources and
advantages which, by every right should be offering
profitable employment to every willing work.
The question is who is to administer it? The ma
tons business in the past were too busy in the
work of constructive prosperity to compete with the
demagogue, the socialist the traducer, the enemy of
enterprise and progress, the graduate in elocution
shrieking the doctrine of discomfort and trampng
regulations and honorable institutions under foot in
his greedy scramble toward the $500 salary of a
Congressman.
The business men have more time now as re-
suit OF his preoccupation in the past but it is
mendous task to clear from the path of progress the
rank growths of suspicion. envy, hatred and false
belief that have grown up and lourished from the
seed so recklessly sown by the unscrupulous self
seekers Many will be disposed to let experience and

prevailing before the days of the preacher of evils

"A few years before his DEATH Mark

the prayer concludes, white-robed

your foes. but listen now TO the un-
spoken portion of your prayer and ask
yourselves IL this is what you desire
Then the stranger speaks aloud these
implications of their words: % Lord,
help US to tear the soldiers Of the foe
to bloody shreds with our smells; help us
to cover their smiling fields with the pale
forms Of their patriot dead; help us to-
day waste their humble homes with a
hurricane OF fire: help us to wiring the
hearts of their unoffending widows with
unavalling grief. Blast their hopes,
