GLENN SAYS BOLEN
TEAM SHOULD PLAY
WINNER OF SERIES

The continued talk of whether
Bolen's Pharmacy team, pennant win
ner of the Commercial league, should
be allowed to play the winner of the
city elimination series Is growing
warmer and a heated argument prom
Uses to develop. Supporters of the
druggists claim that they have the
strongest team in the city and should
be granted the right to have a chance
at the tile.
E. l.. Glenn writes as follows:
To the Sporting Editor of The Age
Herald:
Dear Sir-I have noticed quite bit
about Bolen's Pharmacy in the papers
and for just personal knowledge Of
the team I Investigated and I found
record that would startle baseball
lovers.
They have a batting average of ABS
and have stolen an average Of three
bases a game. Not only have they a
wonderful offensive record but a grand
defensive record of five hits a game
for their opponents and fielding av-
erage of 1876.
1t is my honest opinion that they
have a right to face the winners OF
the elimination series, not with intent
for the trip to New Orleans, but in
sense to show their calibre against
the city champs.
1t is my opinion and the opinion of
hundreds of stanch supporters of good
amateur baseball and Bolen's that the
city championship would be free from
protest of a great number of base
ball fans if the winners will only meet
ROlen'S before going to New Orleans
Knowing that The Herald Is
fair, 1 am quite sure that you will
print this.
Thanking you in advance for this
courtesy, am, very truly yours.
E. l.. GLENN.

FURTHER PETITIONS
AGAINST SHELBY
COUNTY ARE FILED
Injunction to Prevent Treas
urer of County Paying
Out Funds Is Prayer
of Petitioner

Additional injunction proceedings were
filed against Shelby county, Joe S. Bird,
county treasurer, and P. ]. Kroell, J..
and W. G. Nichols as members of the
board of revenue, in the federal court
yesterday by G. K. Browning of Ohio
The petition asks that the county and
officials of the county be enjoined from
paying out any money collected from
taxes and that an additional 2-mill
tax be levied on each 800 worth of
property in the county until the claims
of the plaintiff be paid.
The plaintiff alleges that the coun-
ty issued or caused to be issued $780,
900 in county warrants to A. T. Newell
for road building and that the war
rants were presented to the treasurer
for the collection of $4,000 interest due
on them, the said treasurer acting
under instructions from the board of
revenue, refused payment of the in
terest due on the warrants.
The petition for injunction was filed
by John B. Weakley and e. T. Rice,
attorneys for the petitioner. The coun-
ty, county treasurer and all five men,
bers of the board of revenue are made
parties to the petition and 1t is asked
that they each answer to the charges
set forth in the petition and show
cause, If any, why the injunction should
not be granted.
This is the second petition for injunc
ton against Shelby county filed in the
federal court. Proceedings last week
were filed by Leo Kyser, bringing out
same point as the one filed Tuesday.
Both injunctions came as result of
the county treasurer refusing to pay $4,000
interest due on about $4,000 county road
warrants. The county was temporarily
enjoined on the first proceedings and
notified to appear before Judge w. /.
Grub in the federal court and show why
the injunction should not be granted. The
case was postponed until the last of this
week.

HEADS
STILL UNDECIDED
WHAT ANSWER TO
MAKE PRESIDENT
CONTINUED from Pare one)

at today's meeting and in the opinion
of some of the members the danger
of a strike has been greatly lessened.
1t is understood that the chief OBJ
ject of the visit to the White House
was to ask the President to state spe-
officially how he expected the railroads
to make up the millions of dollars
which the managers say it will cost
them to put into effect the eight-hour
basis day they are asked to grant.
What the President said in reply none
of the committeeman would reveal.
Heretofore, according to the railroad
men, Mr. Wilson has dealt with this
phase of the subject only in the most
general terms.
Besides Messrs. Holden, Lovett and
Willard, the committee of railroad
presidents includes Fairfax Harrison
of the Southern railway; w. w. At
terbury of the Pennsylvania; E. p.
Ripley of the Santa Fe; A. H. Smith
of the New York Central; Frank Trum-
bull of the Chesapeake and Ohio.
MEN GETTING IMPATIENT
Discomfort over being held in Wash
ton by the railroad managers caused
some of the brotherhood men to pro-
test today at one of their two meet
ings. W. G. Lee, head of the train
mems brotherhood, silenced objections,
however. by urging the men to be
patient and assuring them that in his
belief they would not be held here
more than As hours longer. This state
ment was applauded. There will be
another meeting tomorrow.
An invitation to visit the capitol ex-
tended the men today by Vice Presi-
dent Marshall. was accepted by a large
number. The vice president addressed
them cordially
The brotherhood heads in their first
formal statement since arriving in
Washington replied to various conten-
lions of the railroad managers and
presidents who are urging arbitration
The statement declared that the rail-
roads never had shown a desire to re-
sort to arbitration unqualifiedly for
settling their differences with en-
ployes. As proof of this they named
Ga railway lines, all of of which, they
maintain, are controlled by larger sys-
TENS represented by the railroad man
ayers, the employees of which never
have been offered the advantages Of
arbitration by the roads because, the
statement declared their owners do
not fear the results of strikes on
them.
STATEMENT OF BROTHERHOOD
The statement said in part:
"It is true that the executives OF
the four brotherhoods advocated the
passage of the Newlands act and they
did so under the mistaken belief
(Which subsequent experience has
shattered that its terms would be car
ried out in good faith by the repre-
