Prosperity rested hard on the Barons yesterday When enjoying a two-run lead, the Barons succumbed to the ex- | citement of the moment and crumpied un- der the strain. It is bad for the Baronial constitution to make more than one run | in one inning.
 Lefty" Sigrnan is generally conceded to be rather lucky. Yesterday he flung
 his horseshoe to the four winds in the first inning, but it returned to him in the form of a boomerang. The blow fell heavily, and he was forced to re- tire for Morrison. The Kid" evidently was hit by something hard himself, for he apparently made no better obstacle in the way of the Vol offensive than did Sig man.
 Cheer up, gloomy ones. We came ofr easy. The squirting Lookouts, after pull ing the Bears down from first division turned on them yesterday and buried them under a shower of tallies. Be- sides scoring IS runs, the Lookouts se- cured 23 safe hits.
 Little Rock is still wreaking revenge on Atlanta The Crackers suffered another defeat at the hands of the Travellers yesterday If New Orleans had won in stead of lost, the Pel team would again be leading the Southern league, but Bir- mingham's rival. Memphis, handed drubbing to the Pels.
 The Crackers suffered more than single defeat by yesterdays game. First Baseman Ivy Griffin suffered dislocated shoulder by a collision with Distell, and Second Baseman Dykes suffered a severe scalp wound. Both men are f1ne pail players and although Dykes will still De in the game the loss of Griffin, who will he out the rest of the season, ac- cording to notices yesterday will cripple the club considerably.
 The Giants won yesterday. thus gettins back half game of Cincinnaus lead. The Reds were not scheduled to play yesterday.
 As said before, the Black Barons can win anyway They have beat the Knox vile Giants two games already. and ex- pect to take the third. Even if he was defeated we have got to hand it to Force, the Giant pitcher. He allowed only two hits and walked only one man. nave you noticed that all those negro pitchers are birds" and rarely walk many men or allow many hits?
 Saturday there will be two events or importance and interest to the Birming- ham fans.

Perfect Scores, Made
 By Winners In Shoot

Chicago, August 12.-New records Tor the American amateur trapshooting championship and the professional cham pionship of the Grand American Handi- can tournament were established late to- day when the winners in the respective events. Frank NJ. Troech, Vancouver. Washington, and Bart Lewis, Aupurn' III. broke the entire 200 targets thrown.

From the above it will be noted that the Reds have 22 more games with Plttsburg. St. Louis Brooklyn. Phila- delphia and Boston, considered the weak teams of the National league. At least 14 of these 22 games should result in victories. The Reds must play 15 games with Chicago and New York and if of them are taken it would mean that New York would have to wallop the stuffin out of the weaker sisters to grab the gonfalon. In other words if New York loses more than IA games this season, she is very apt to finish in second place.

BOARD GETS JOBS
FOR NEARLY 10000 SOLDIERS

Washington, D. c., Sept. 12.-The
Federal Board for Vocational Edu-
cation, in charge of retraining the yo-
cationality disabled soldiers and get
ting him rfew jobs and trades, has
received from more than $500 men
who originally applied for re-educa-
ton reports stating that they have
found employment. In addition the
board has found positions for APP
proximately 1920 men who were APP
plicants for its services. About 40
men, who have been occupationally
retained by the board since leaving
the army, have been placed in posi-
tions through it's efforts or have
found jobs for themselves.
OF the 5000 who placed them
selves many were mot granted re-
training under the law as it then was
construed, but the board nevertheless
made an effort to obtain work for
every man who applied These men
have now found work for themselves
great many Of them on leads and
suggestions as well as recommends
tons given them by agents Of the
board. The 200 men placed by the
board through its allied agencies were
largely those to whom the advantages
of the re-education law could not b.
extemded.
1t is calculated there win be to
tai of between forty and City thous
and soldiers who may be eligible foI
re-education by the board Many o.
the worst cases among these are still
in the army hospitals. More thar
fifteen thousand of these cases hav
been surveyed and approved and ar
either now in school or will be sen
to professional, academic, scientifi
and mechanical schools with the ope
| ing of the fall terms. An additions
E15,OO0 men probably will be read
to receive schooling before Novembe
/. More than 100 men have alread
\ been retrained exceptionally. c
these about 40 wish to take up flu
cher courses.

Biblical Thrift.

The Scriptures give us many lessons
IN thrift. Ezekiel warned the children

He said: "Take thou also unto thee
wheat. and barley, and beans, ana
lentiles, and millet, and itchcs, ana
put them in one vessel, and make thee
bread thereof."-Ezekiel iv; Q. The
Bible shows that Ezekiel ordered the
