ceive of him doing anything dishonest
, whole matter was misunderstanding and
would be satisfactorily adjusted.
Mr.. Hays came to Northport from
Kentucky to take the position as cashier
when the bank was organized something
over year ago, and bears an excellent
reputation
In a statement tonight. Sam A. VERIFY.

Covington, the Mobile hurler. who
trounced the Barons yesterday, is a
brother of Tex Covington. who ca
vorted at first base for the Barons
last season. Covington displayed a
varied assortment of pitching wares
and when his team mates made errors
he simply laughed and frightened up.
Result the Barons lost.
Karl Black pitched the last five in
nings for the Barons i'm fine style. The
Gulls did their best to worry the local
southpaw. but innuendo on the part
of the Gulls failed to disturb the conf
placent Black yesterday. While the
Gulls talked the local southpaw famed
them with his fast ball.
II begins to look as If the money
bags of Rick Woodward will soon be
needed to strengthen the Barons.
-
Little Rock has yet to win a game.
The loss of Liz Marcan is felt in the
Arkansas city as well as in Bir-
mingham.
The Barons leave for New Orleans
tonight, where they tackle the Pelicans
in a three-game series tomorrow aft
ernoon. More trouble.
The Barops will return to Redwood
on Wednesday, when Atlanta comes
for a series of four games. Some
series.
The fans should not be in too great
a hurry to find fault with the Barons.
Last year the first Mobile series ended
in disaster for the Barons and yet
the pennant was won. History some
times repeats itself, according to the
sages.
Chattanooga was picked by the
seribes to have the strongest aggrega-
ton in the Southern league a few days
age. The Noogans have won one and
lost three. Still, no one really expects
Chattanooga to maintain that pace
throughout the season. McCormick's
men will take a brace and be in the
running within a few weeks. The
Barons will do the same thing.
IT is ever so much better to lose a
few games in the spring than at the
flag end of the season. And in the
past the Barons are usually unbeat-
able in August.

Arthur T. Johnson. the Baron pitch
er, lost the second half of his billiard
match with William Morgan, the state
champion, last night at the Greenwood
Cave by the score of 200 to III in 81
innings of play. AS johnson also lost
the first half on Thursday night by the
score of 200 to 1T, Referee Bruner
awarded the match to Morgan and the
final score was announced to be: Nor
gan AGO. johnson 2Ss, in Ga innings
of play. The match was 14.2 balhline

johnson showed an improved style
of play last night and really pushed
the champion at times. Morgan's high
runs were 2S, 16, II, 10. 10, Is and Ii.
Johnson's high runs were II, Il, II,
10. 10 and II.
1t is likely that Morgan and john

few weeks as friends of johnson
assert that with a little more practice
the Baron PLAYER can defeat the local
billiard sharp.

To the Housewife.

Madam, if your husband is like most
men he expects you to look after the
health of yourself and children. Coughs
and colds are the most common of the
minor ailments and are most likely to
lead to serious diseases. A child is
much more likely to contract diphtheria
or scarlet fever when it has a cold. If
you will inquire into the merits of the
various remedies that are recommended
for coughs and colds, you will find that
Chemberlain's Cough Remedy stands
high in the estimation of people who
use it. 1t is prompt and effectual,
pleasant and safe to take, which are
qualities especially to be desired when
a medicine is intended for children.
