ball players but by the men of va
rious professions in Barlow and Lake
land who felt desire for another re-
turn to the old sport of their college
days. The game from the standpoint
of playing and sportmanship was a
''howling" success; yes, that's the
word. 1t might have been termed q
screaming failure" with equal vera
city, because indifference to baseball
etiquette and an all-round spirit Of
fun was the order of the afternoon.
The lineup Of Barlow was represen-
tative. woodward was catcher, Hol-
land pitcher; Virgins played first
base, Jackson second, Bradley Wilson
was on third, (part of the time), un-
til relieved by Tom Page, Mack was

bre sports, or at least to the extent
of laying it on Barlow to the tune OF
5 to 2. Two of their players failing
to be present, they borrowed from
Barlow Pete Lightsey and Burnette
which probably accounts for their
winning, even by the skin of their
teeth.
A crowd entirely out of proportion
to the Importance of the game was
present; in fact. the smallness of the
crowd of spectators probably put q
damper on the boys spirits and
knocked the pep out of them, for they
did not play with the zest that should
have been their chief stock in trade
as it was evident that practice had
been these many years denied them
In the beginning of the game some
of the players called for nine innings
but it was plain to be seeen at the
end of the second inning that there
was a difference between sitting at /:
desk and singing a bat, becoming
noticeable to the players. At thu

who occupied third base when no
balls were around, caught two balls
during the game, one on first bounce
and by falling on the other. His run

changed his mind and made third be-

RE NO LABOR WAR,
CONTRACTORS AND UNIONS
TOGETHER AT MIAMI

Miami, Oct. II. 7.-Settlement Of the
differences between the Building
Trades ouncil and the Miami Building
Contractors Association was arrived
at last night at a meeting Of commit
tees Of both organizations, and the
prospect for another labor tie-up
which yesterday seemed imminent,
went glimmering. Everything is
peaceful in the building circles today,
and all parties to the dispute seem
satisfied.
According to the terms OF the Set
tlement, the contractors agreed to put
to work the rs carpenters who re-.
ported" in compliance with the sug-
gestion made by ads Of the contract
ors association in northern papers,
but who were refused jobs when they
arrived. Other mechanics who may
later arrive in answer to the ads will
have to take their chances about get
ting work, according to the terms Of
the agreement.
Trouble Started Monday
The trouble between the Building
Trades Council and the contractors
association arose Monday mornini
when a couple Of dozen painters ar
rived In answer to the associations
ads and reported at the associations
headquarters and at the union head
quarters in Carpenters hall, Four
teenth street and Avenue y. The
business agent Of the painters union
at once interested the Building Trades
Council in the situation with the re-
suit that a oint committee Injecting
was asked of the contractors. At this
meeting the union men demanded
that the new laborers be put to work
or their transportation paid back
home. The contractors held a meet
ing last night and gave their COM
mittee additional instructions, follow
ing which a second Joint committee
meeting was held at which the agree
nent outlined above was reached.
Local contractors say that there is
little doubt that more painters than
are now here will be needed within
the next month, as the big buildings
being erected here are all nearing
completion and being made ready for
the painters. Up to the present time
little interior decorating has been
Gone on any of the large buildings be-
ing erected here.

MEMORIAL SERVICES TODAY

In the cemeteries, of Birmingham there are many veterans of the War of the Confederacy whose bodies lie moulding beneath her soil. The Patriotic Daughters of the Confeder- acy long ago established the custom of placing flowers upon the graves of the dead of the war, and the worthy vet erans who died in defense of principles they knew were right, This custom was established before the birth of Birming ham. But the U. D. C. love to honor those men who are buried here. Most of them have died in recent years and while Birmingham has no cemetery es- pecially dedicated to the Confederate Veterans, yet it is not forgotten that the men who made this great city were either those men or their sons. Satur- day. the 26th of April, has been set apart as the day dedicated to this splendid custom. The several chapters of the U. D. c. urge all citizens who honor these old men to assist in the ex- ercises today. At Capitol park this aft ernoon at o'clock the annual me morial will be held, and a splendid pro- gramme has been arranged-good music by the local talent and an appropriate address will be delivered by Dr. J. E billiard.
 All Veterans are urged to attend ano wear their uniforms.
