suggests that the crew and passen- gers aboard are safe.
 According to those familiar with the locality, the waters are very shall low, and it is probable that the Sil- yer Wave was driven onto the shoals by the terrific storm which ragged for several days along the Arctic coast of Seward peninsula last week. The vessel draws scarcely more than three feet of water but with q heavy sea running would probably find great difficulty m navigating in the shallow waters. It is believed that the schooner was caught on the flats and gradually driven inshore by the gale

 PARIS, Sept. f9-Although already severely handicapped by the inability of the publishers to secure print pa per supplies, French newspapers have sustained another blow which will still further limit their activities, through the refusal of the Norwegian Paper Manufactures association to supply French print paper demands because of the submarine blockade
 The Norwegian manufacturers have cancelled all outside contracts and announce that the German submarine warfare has made it practically im- possible to supply other than local demands, owing to the inability of the paper makers to secure adequate supplies of raw material.
 The French paper situation is now in bad state and practically all of the larger papers will be forced to re- duce the size of their publications. while others will probably be com pelled to suspend publication unless

Fate Of Mobile Franchise Remains Unsettled

The advance seat sale for the big wrest- ling match at the Jefferson theatre to- night indicates that one of the largest crowds of the season will be on hand. Promoter Brown Parkes stated last night that he expected a record attendance at tonight's match. It is the third of a se- ries of bouts to be given in Birmingham by MT. Parkes.
 The match will be between Paul Raas, champion of Switzerland, and John Ere berg, the best that Sweden has produced, and will be pulled off at S:30 o'clock to- night E. J. Parry, who has proved such a popular official, will be the referee.
 Raas, who arrived in Birmingham late Tuesday night, was the exposure of all eyes yesterday as he walked about the streets Although he Is six feet two inches in height so tremendous Is the development of his body that one does not realize how massive man he is until one is close to him. The stock of the Swiss expert went up several notches since his appearance here, and by many of the fans he is picked to win the bout despite the reputation for fierce wrest- ling which is possessed by F'reberg

PRESIDENT SMITH LEAVES FOR MOBILE Will Represent Birmingham at Meeting of League
 Directors

President w. D. Smith of the Birming- ham club of the Southern association left last night at 1o:30 o'clock for Mobile to attend the meeting of the league direc- tors in the Gull city this afternoon or to- morrow morning. The Birmingham proxy received wire yesterday afternoon from President R. H. Baugh of the Southern association, requesting him to attend the conference.
 The leagues chief has summoned all of the directors to the Gull City for a conference. The meeting is scheduled for this afternoon, but it may be delayed until Saturday morning to await the ar rival of President Bob Allen of the Little Rock club.
 The purpose of the meeting is to make some sort of proposition to the Mobile owners in regard to retaining their fran chise. Tn event the Mobile owners and the directors cannot reach an agreement the franchise win revert to the league and the directors will dispose of the fran chise in any manner in which they see fit.
 There is little doubt but that Mobile will remain in the league for the remain der of the season. Baseball is doomed in Mobile and sooner or later new town must be admitted into the league. Mont gomery has been prominently mentioned, but it is very doubtful whether the Capi- tai City could support a club. Knoxville, Tenn, is also being mentioned, but ow- ing to it's queer location on the principal railroads it is very improbable that an other Tennessean city be selected.
 Mobile will be carried by the remain ing seven clubs in the league in some manner for the 1917 season, and then new blood injected into the circuit in 1918 pro- vided baseball is continued. The stua- tion at Mobile is more serious than the ordinary fan can realize. It probably involes several hundred of thousands of dollars. The loss to the Mobile club would not be so severe but the remaining clubs in the league would also suffer greatly.

 In the ninth Munch's single, his steal of second and Picinich's fourth safe hit counted another tally.

 The Crackers had a great chance to win the game in the eighth. Cable and Moran singled and Tex Mcdonald was purposely passed, filling the bases Al Bridwell hit hot grounder to Doc John- ston and double play followed The Barons made three double plays, all nip ping serious rally by the visitors
 All of the breaks of the game were with the Barons but at that they out played their opponents. The Crackers fought hard for the game but found the Baron defense too strong in the pinches
 Young Picinich did the best work for the Crackers. He secured four hits in as many trips to the plate two being doubles. He drove in two of Atlanta S tallies and put a runner in position to score with hs first two-base hit
