~ WING to the uncertainty that has existed of late as to the actual
 number of teams that would fin ish out the season, 1t was impossible for Tennis association to be arranged Sew eral of the teams that had enlisted in the organization in the spring were taking very little interest in activities and be- cause of this state of affairs nothing much could be done.
 However, the impetus received by ten States championship was ample enough to revive the Tagging enthusiasm and now the league is up to it's full quota.
 For the first time this season all eight teams of the league were in action Sat urday and assurances have been given by the various teams that full strength will be mustered each week from now on until the end of the season.
 The league is now on a stable footing and the outlook is better than at any previous period of the season. Eight teams are in active competition. these be- ing North Birmingham. Fossil, Bessemer Tennessee Coal and Iron company of Ensley, Birmingham Athletic club, Young Mems Christian association, Fairfield and Country club.
 The interest that is being taken in the league by suburban teams has been source of much eradication to officials Half of the teams are from the suburbs. although two of these, Bessemer and Eos sil, are really from out of town. The other suburban teams are Fairfield and Epsley
 The present season will come to an end on September F, after which the regu- lar annual tournament will be held. The one last year, staged at the Country club, proved d big success and plans are be- ing made for an even better one this year

OPPOSITION ID
 ADAMS DEVELOPS Delegations For and Against Appointment Appear
 Before Governor

Montgomery, July 3o.-fspecial.)--Tw Russell county delegations called on the governor today in the interest of the ap- pointment of excise commissioner of Girard. The governor several days ago appointed John Adams of that place to succeed himself chairman of the com mission. but in view of vigorous protests filed with him he held mp the appoint ment.
 The governor today heard the two rival delegations, but did not announce any decision in the matter. Probate Judge H. T. Benton of Russell was one of those who protested against Adams appoint- ment.
 It was represented to the governor that Adams is a prohibitionist. and member of faction that elected a socialist to office. It is probable that the governor will send someone to Girard to make an investigation of the situation there.

 Resolutions adopted on the one-year clause provide that this rule be inter- preted to apply only to games between l. A. A. teams, and that members desir. Ing to play nonmembers may use first year men against them.

COMMERCIAL LEAGUE.

The special exhibition baseball game between Louis Saks and Louis Pizitz teams staged yesterday afternoon at Redwood was a thriller. Piztz won by a score of ? to 1, but this was only one of the many exciting incidents that made the frolic by far the best of the season. Both teams were out for blood. Every irch of ground was bitterly contested and the players were egged on by loyal ad- herents Not being content with fight ing on the diamond the players attempted to resume hostilities on the side lines in an entirely different manner and this added zest to the otherwise lively en- Solrter.
 Up to the present the Saks team has been leading the league and the players were confident Of showing Pizitz further down the ladder, but fate ordained other wise. Nearly a thousand people were on hand and enthusiasm ran high. for each of the teams was backed by large fol-
 owinss. Clashes between the two crowds were only prevented by cooler heads and to the neutral lookers-on the frolic, proved both interesting and exciting

NATIONAL "COMIsHv TO ACT.

New York, April 2S.-That the Na- tional Commission is resolved to make the major leagues bear the brunt of the fight against the Federals has been shown in one of its most radi- cal rulings at the recent conference in Chicago. Hereafter when a major league player is released to a minor league club the major league club so disposing of his services will have to stand the loss in case the player refuses to report to his new club or jumps to the Federal league. As an illustration of the working of the new release law, take the case of Bunny Hearne, recently released te, Toronto. If he had not reported

does not float. What can I do to remedy the trouble w. B.
 The float in the carburetor may be adjusted too high, or, as you suggest, the trouble may be in the valve. If the float valve does not fit perfectly the gasoline will leak. If such is the case, it is best to replace the old valve with new one. Very often this valve may be reseated by tapping slightly, making sure to center the valve pin at the time. It is possible that the valve pin and seat are worn considerably, and if so, it would be more advisable to replace same.
 Motoring Department, The Herald I have 1912 Hudson car which has just been recently overhauled, and while the engine is in perfect con- dition there appears to be grinding noise in the transmission when run ming on high speed only, and when the car has gained considerable head way on a level road the grinding stops, but starts again when you strike small grade. Will you kindly give me some information about this and how to correct it if possible, and oblige,-k. $. D.
 From what you have stated it would appear that there is a bearing in the transmission which needs replacing. Perhaps some of the working parts have been adjusted too closely and the gears rub against each other when in motion. By taking up the floor boards and sounding for this trouble when the car is in motion you should be able to locate it definitely.
 Motoring Department, The Herald I have a six-cylinder 1914 car, with magneto storage battery for lighting system and four dry cells for starting. Will you kindly tell me, if in case of emergency, when both magneto and dry cells should become disabled on the road, would it be possible, or advisable, to transfer the dry cell ter minals to the storage battery in order to get home? If not possible or ad- visable, please tell me why, and oblige,-R. F. L..
 It depends upon the size Of the storage battery you are using. The ignition system usually calls for about six or seven volts. If you should take the two wires from the dry cells and attach them to the cells of a large storage battery you would certainly damage the ignition coil. The cells of the storage battery, however, are connected in series, and in case or necessity you might arrange to take the ignition current from two or three cells of the battery.
 Motoring Department, The Herald I find that my car rides smoother when the tires are not inflated to the full extent, and accordingly I don't pump the tires hard. Will this in jure the tires? I have had the car but one week.-H. B. -
 Riding with the tires not properly inflated is more comfortable, but cer- tainly more expensive. When the tires are soft, the different layers
