In Ii games during the present cam paign, the bold Barons have battled without committing single pebble But while the henchmen of Molesworth have gone IA games without making an error, their opponents have played 22 errorless games against Birmingham. But three times this season have the two teams gone nine innings without either aggregation breaking into the error column.
 On June 14 Mobile humbled Birming ham to 3. With Black and Hogg op- erating, the two clubs went through On July 21, when Omar Hardgrove turned on his erstwhile mates and downed them to 1, another errorless game was recorded On July 29, Chat tanooga bested Birmingham to o, by virtue of Marshall's hurling. It was wonderful game for neither Black nor Marshall allowed over three hits. The Lookouts scored but two runs and neither aggregation bobbled.
 While each of the absolutely error less games went to the opposition, eight of the other 10 games, in which Bir~ mingham did not commit an error, were victories Against New Orleans and Chattanooga, the Barons nave played their best defensive games. Three times Birmingham has battled errorless games against the felicans and Lookouts, while two per feet games have been registered against Nashville and Little Rock. Memphis, At lanta and Mobile have been offered a sterling defense but once.

Fly l.. A. V. SMITH

Little Rock, Ark, August 10.-(Special) Burleigh Grimes today succeeded where four other Barons have failed when he stopped Birminghams losing streak. and the Travellers winning While his mates got to Fincher to wipe out the memory of the one-point shutout which started the series, Grimes held the starrs to six hits and won easily, to 2.
 The work of Danny Clark was the bril- liant feature of the game, which marked the turning in the luck. The little sec ond saclSer smacked out four hits in as many tries, one of them a double, and accepted 10 chances, some of them diffi- cult around the keystone without a slip. Danny started Fincher on the road to defeat with his tall double to left center in the second and continued his offensive work throughout the game figuring in every run getting of the visitors.
 Grimes had no trouble at all with the locals. In the fifth two drives down Bill Lindsays way put two on with one out and walk populated the pouches after another had retired, but Ellam went back after Stars short fly and the inning ended. In the sixth, a walk, two singles and an out scored the Travellers pair and Molesworth had Dickie Robertson warming up, but that was the last threat. The locals did not hint of scoring in the last three frames.
 Ellam followed Danny Clark double after one was out in the second with a walk. Hale drove to left and Clark scored. Hale was caught easily in the steal that failed and Grimes famed. In the third Sloan beat out an infield tap advanced on Molesworth's out and took third when Coyle singled to left.
 Coombs grounded sharply at Baker who fumbled, Sloan scoring and Coombs reaching first Coyle took second on the play and counted when Clark soaked d single to right.
 Two more were added in the fifth Molesworth walked and Gibson's throw to second when Molesworth went down found nobody home. Coyle and Coombs grounded out, but Lindsay cracked a double down the first base line and Moles- worth counted from third. Clark singled to right scoring Lindsay and was out himself in a steal
 Roth replaced Fincher at the start of the fifth Ellam picked one of Roth S first and soaked it to right for three bases. Hale was hit. Grimes grounded tc first and when Covington played to second in hopes of a double play, Ellam romped nome.

It is the opinion of the authorities here that the. rules of the S I. A. A. as they now stand are discriminatory in their ap- plication against colleges in class A and in favor of outside colleges of the same rank in s. I. A. A. territory.
 lf in the future, the rules of the as- sociation are made uniform, Auburn may re-enter the s. l. A. A. or else may be- come affiliated with some other athletic organization composed of colleges with like interests.
 Auburn has always stood for the one year rule, but contends that this rule should be uniform in it's application

NOT AS HE EXPRESSED THEM
Tcamster's Words Would Have Re- quired Adjustment Before Their
 Use in the Pulpit.

A man was brought before police court charged with abusing his team and using loud and profane language on the street. One of the witnesses was pious old darky, who was sub mitted to a short cross-examination.
 Did the defendant use improper language while he was beating his horses?" asked the lawyer.
 Well, he talk mighty loud, suh.'
 Did he indulge in profanity"
 The witness seemed puzzled. The lawyer put the question in another form:
 What I mean, Uncle Aus, is-did he use words that would be proper for your minister to use in a sermon?"
 "Oh, yes suh,'' the old man replied with a grin that revealed the full width of his immense mouth; but dey'd have to be ranged diff'runt. - Everybody's Magazine.

CARRANzA PARTY
 |S RECOGNIZED
DOES NOT BELIEVE THERE WILL BE ANY MORE BIG BATTLES
 IN MEXICO.
ONLY MINOR OUTBREAKS NOW
Declares When Peace Is Restored and Tranquility Really Established in the Republic, Amnesty Will Be
 Granted to All Persons.

Vera Cruz.-Gen Carranza received with great pleasure the news that the Pan-American conference at Washing ton has decided to recommend recog- nition of the party led by him as the de facto government in Mexico, al though he pointed out that he had re- ceived no official notification to this effect Telegrams from CarranZa agents at Washington brought the news and the first chief received the congratulations of his associate at Constitutional headquarters. Wash ington telegrams were read in the theaters and received with great en- thusiasm.
 Gen. Carranza will not altar his plans for trip through the northern states. In response to questions, Gen. Carranza said:
 This news puts an end to all efforts of our enemies to bring about foreign intervention. They continue their in trigues and their attacks in the news papers, but recognition of the Consti- tutionalist government naturally will rob them of the fruits of their efforts.
 When peace is absolutely restored and tranquility really established throughout the republic, amnesty will be granted to all these persons, but not now. To permit them to return at this time would be to endure their machinations within the republic.
 "The immediate effect of this news will be a great moral strengthening of the cause of Constitutionalism and a corresponding disheartening of oppos- ing factions. There will be no more formal battles. Fighting of that sort already has ended, but naturally the struggle to put down minor outbreaks and lawlessness must be continued for a greater or less time in a country such as this, where there are exten- sive open areas"
