"THANK YOU'
By JOHN SPARROW

I was on the hurricane deck of a Fifth avenue motor bus in the village of Manhattan the other day when the conductor thrust a folder into my horny hand, the title thereof being Thank You" On the inner pages were letters from visitors and citizens of New York expressing appreciation for acts of courtesy on the part of con ductors and motormen of the bus line, It was not a plethoric volume, and it set me to thinking.
 Millions of people ride these busses every year 1 reflected, and yet out of this vast swarm of humanity, safely and courteously handled, about one in a hundred thousand take the time and pains to write a letter.
 Herein was revealed one of our fun damental weaknesses-lack of appre- s citation. And appreciation is the chief constituent of gratitude. It is because we are so self-centered our thinking radius seldom extends beyond the lit tie circle of our own interests. We take service, no matter by whom or how rendered as a matter of course This Is the way is goes, to bring the thing home:
 Here in Birmingham not a day passes that human life is not saved by the vigilance of traffic cops and the alertness of motormen and conductors We never think of saying Thank you, to these guardians of our well-being but, let an accident happen and the vials of our wrath are poured not only upon their un1ucky heads but upon the entire police force and the street railway management. Days and nights

of perfect service count as nothing against one lapse or one unavoidable stroke of fate
 l live in the suburbs, let us say. When my days work is done I board an electric car and in IS minutes or half an hour I have left the hot crowd ed city miles behind me. The air is sweet and refreshing. I step down and walk to home where the flowers are blooming and the green grass is grow ing. As I sit on my porch in the cool of the evening, do I'say Thank you mentally to the real estate organization which developed the suburban property or to the street railway company which brings me from my home to my work, and back again, day in ana oay out, rain or shine? Nay, rather, do not dwell morosely on the profit which think the real estate men have taken out of me; and do I not harp, 1T happen to have a nearer, on the dis comforts of the trip home, and enlarge upon the defects. real or imaginary, in the service of the street railway company? And yet, if I am honest would admit that but for real estate and transportation enterprise. l would be stewing in some sordid and possiplN unsa nitary section of the city, as my income wSlld precl<le me from living in the choicer localities
 Night falls. and I go into the house I touch button and the room IS flooded with light. Do marvel at this miracle? Do I reverently recall that God said in the beginning Let there be light And light was?" And that science has enabled me to speak to <r light with authority? Am I thankful for this boon which generations of thinkers haves struggled to. give me? No, my only thought. if I think at all, is that I should have this light for great deal less than I am paying. My faithful wife arises in the morn ing and busies herself with breakfast. She goes to the sink and turns a faucet, and cleaf water flows abund antly. No walking out to the well in the back yard; no painful tugging on the well rope. with blistering hands; no weary trudging back beneath the weight of the bucket. Is she thankful for the advance in civilization which has released woman from such drudg- cry? No If she thinks at all, the water company bulks in her minds eye as great oppressor, an ogre, an octopus.
 Then she goes to her gas stove. The flame responds to a lighted match

RE1IDdClr11
 By Marvin McCdrthQ

As we had to, lose an extra-innins
 game, it would have been some con-
 solation if the length had been 24 h.
 nings instead of Is, which would have
 been the Southern league record. It
 was beginning to look that way when
 the Crackers sneaked across that run
 in the eighteenth inning.
 It was not Bernie's fault that the
 Barons lost yesterday He certainly
 had his eye gauged to the ball. Four
 safe bingles he made out of eight times up. His average was boosted up peg the .291 mark.
 After making a difficult stop Bern sen saw the runner nearer the plate than he was. He decided that then was the proper time to try first base slide. He slid to perfection, beating the runner there by inches.
 Considering that we play the Crack CTS two more series after the pres- ent one, it is just as well for us that Milton Reed must leave the Frank ag- | gregation in the next two weeks. This gent is off on a 30-day furlough, but | his time is about half up. Judging from the way he played yesterday, At 1 lanta will be considerably the loser when he returns to the army. There, was only one National league game played yesterday, but it was a | game of note to one man at least, Gro yer Cleveland Alexander, it being the | first game he has pitched in nearly
 a month. The rest has not hurt his pitching ability, however, as he set the Red Sox down with two runs and seven | hits.
 | We wonder if 1t would do an um- pire any good to have rest. If we l thought that it would we would write i a petition to Proxy Martin at once requesting the immediate vacation of several whom we think need good | long rest.
 l There seem to be more forces than | one working against a winning streak ' for the Barons We were all right
 until we journeyed to Cracker town Then the best that we could do was | to break even on the road trip. Once 1 before have we taken in New Orleans, | Mobile and Atlanta on journey, talk l ing the series from the Pelicans and Bears but tripping up on the Crack ! CTS. lnGN SGtHt lO NIASliy h&NS cai goat"
 l As there doesn't seem to be any more argument as to whether Jack Demps ey | really defeated Jess Willard, when how, why, or otherwise, it is time for l the case to be closed. Jack promises
 to be pretty busy chap, taking on iall corners, appearing in vaudeville and locking for movie contracts. The Nashville Banner tells us that Jack is prowling around the Mack Sonnet
 studios, but whether ne is looking for | a contract or not is a thing not quite clear. These studios have charms to 1 soothe the most savage of breasts, and undoubtedly Jack is no exception.
 Jack Dempsey is said to be willing | to meet either Joe Beckett, English
 champ, or Georges Carpenter, French boxer, but says that he will not fight anywhere but in the United States After the demonstration pulled off al Toledo we no longer have our doubts ! as to the ability of Jack and will trust him anywhere even in France. where Carpenter and gay Farce threaten.

Ceaser's ghosti But that was hum
 dinger yesterday. Two out, two strikes on the batters and ping! the game was gone aglimmering. We've seen lots of
 heartbreaking games, but that one yes terday was the toughest one to lose we
 ever lamped.
 Gotter hand it to this bird Thornburn,
 though He shut out our boys in the
 last nine frames and only once allowed
 them to reach the keystone.
 We hate to cast gloom, but Glazner's
 arm may be lame for sometime to come.
 Last night he couldn't raise it above his
 shoulder and this morning it'll feel like
 it was paralyzed. For his first battle
 IS innings was some undertaking. but
 ''Whitey" was game and Moley let him
 stick in there, hoping every inning that
 the Barons would win it the next min ute
 Billy Webb continues to look mighty weak on that third base line. but Al Ellis has improved a lot since the Barons were here last Al accepted Il chances, many of them hard ones, without the sign of an error. One of his catches was right up against the bleachers, and the bases were full. too. Now. if Billy comes round soon, the team will be in shape again.
 Large Peters, the Baron Goliath, failed l to connect safely with the onion in seven | trips to the dish yesterday, and as a consequence the giant tumbled several points in the batting average. Sail right, Pete, you'll get em back today, mebbe.
 Josephus Coffindaffer will hurl the in- | itial battle of the double bill today and John Morrison will probably draw the assignment in the second contest. Cholly Frank will be up against 1t for | pitchers today. Sheehan and Roberts pitched a half game each Monday, while Suggs pitched Sunday. Two of these three will have to work today. The fighting spirit of the Crackers is what's keeping them up in the race | that and the grand support they accord their hurlers. Galloway looks to be the class of the league at short Umpire Johnson impresses us as being a conscientious worker and about as good an arbiter as there is in the league, but he just happened to make two bad de- cisions on strikes at a time when they
 hurt the most yesterday. As for Viii Hams, he has always given Birmingham the worst of it.

 Win Tennis Singles

Chicago, July 15.-William T. Tildsn, Jr.. Philadelphia, 1918 national clay court singles champion, is again the strong favorite as a result of his one sided victory over Samuel Hardy, Chi cago, 6-1, 6-1. in fifth round play to- day of the ninth annual clay court tournament. Hardy is one of the dou- bles champions. but Tilden had every stroke at his command.

City. It seems the kid got into fight with policeman during the wee small hours of the night.
 Cholly Franks tactics in trying to crip- rle Little Rock by refusing to waive on Elberfeld is typical of the willy Dutch man. of course, Eiberfeld will remain in Little Rock, but he will have to do so as a playing manager and thereby keep one more Class A<nan off his team. Cut out that stuff, Cholly. Let the kid quit if he wants to. but don't punish his pennant prospects.
 Memphis or Atlanta or even the Barons has an outside chance to win the pen nant by a grand squirt. Whenever a team comes from behind and gets in the running the momentum usually carries them on to a pennant.
 Atlanta players had s4 chances in that game yesterday, but the only error was made by Galloway when he hurried ] little too fast in attempting to com pjlete a double play.
