CLASSICS VIII
GREAT BATTLE
New Battery Shows Class
Mining Machinery is
Whitewashed.

"Doc" Shiyely, Of Monongah Glass.
introduced q new Classic battery TO
the city league fans last night and
South Side park, and incidentally they
shut out the Mining Machinery team
60. Seaman, a big southpaw was the
new Classic twirler while Blackburn
was behind the bat. Seaman allowed
four scattered hits during the seven
innings, one Of them a three sacker BY
Noble, but brilliant support checked
any chance for the Miners to get q run
ner over the plate. The best chance
the Miners had to negotiate a marker
was frustrated by q remarkable catch
OF a short ny to right field by Byrne,
who grabbed the pill close TO the
ground after a hard run. Had he drop
ned the ball two men would have come
over the pan for the Miners.
Mining Machinery played cratic
hall In the field, and RAT" Long had a
rough night behind the bat, making
-four errors. The fielding Of the
Classics was Of the highest order, ex:
cent little Browns work at second
base. Playing his first game Of the
season for the Classics, the best sec.
ond sacker in the league suffered an
Of night and is charged with two er.
rors. Both chances on which he COM
mitted miscues were Of the easiest
kind.
One Of the largest crowds Of the
season witnessed the contest last even
Ing and saw plenty OF good baseball.
The Monongah team Is some ball CLUB
with the lineup It presented last night.
Tomorrow afternoon the Classics and
the Watson Building meet, and this
promises to be a real battle. A record
crowd will likely be on hand for the
contest. Owing to the fact that the
Bando will not play tomorrow. It 10
likely that but one game Will be play
ed, probably starting at 3 o'clock. The

 RESOLUTIONS ON
 SATURDAYS RIOT

Regretting the mob spirit that prevailed Saturday night and commenting highly the bravery of the police and other of ficials in their successful efforts to pre- vent lynching, the Methodist ministers of the Birmingham and Bessemer dis tricts at their regular meeting passed the following resolutions:
 The Methodist ministers of the Bir- mingham and Bessemer districts in their regular meeting of June the Fist in the Birmingham First Church wish to ex~ press their profound regret at the action of some of the citizens of this community, when on last Saturday night they yield ed to the mob spirit and turned the streets of law-abiding Birmingham nt1 a scene of turmoil and peril.
 We in no way condone impertinence, insolenee or crime, but when men. whetn- CT black or white, become offenders, we insist that it is the duty of the law and not the mob to punish. We congratulate and honor our brave policemen and of ficials in their determined and success ful effort, at the risk of their own lives to save the accused negro from the wrath of the mob.
 .'We assure them that not only do they have the gratitude of all law abiding cit.- zens for saving us of the disgrace of a public lynching. but that we believe that many of the partici- pants in the riot in their calmer moments will be thankful that they were saved from the sin of such an unjustifiable mur- der as the lynching of this negro would have been.
