 Some 5000 Birminghammers and visitors journeyed out to Redwood field to witness this part of the seml- centennial celebration and some 5.OOa throats yowled with delight as The Twentieth century boys burlesqued the ancient pastime. but burlesqued 1t according to rules as they were written down in '71
 Come in OK Carts
 It was the ElytOn nine against the Cahaoa Flow Boys. The latter left their own corr and cotton fields. and Journeyed over by OK cart to humble the chesty Elytonites. They did not humble them, but got, what was probably called a virtual victory in those days. The game was a A tie. when the bewhiskered umps, wearing spectacles. whiskers, and seat cushion as a chest protector, called the battle on account of darkness or course it wasn't dark. but tbey had 10 stop the game in some way, in order that the professionals under Rick and Quack could start their duel. By the way, Colonel Quack. managing his boys with the hand of strategy. put over 6-5 victory over the Woodwardites.
 The main stands and part of the temporary bleachers were filled as the long-trousered Elyton and Caha- ba athletes got going Tn their hectic struggle. George Kircher was man ager for Cahaba, but no one would ever have recognized George He wore long pantaloons, flannel shirt, Jockey cap, fierce black whiskers, which did not blend in with his light head of hair, and broad -guage sas- penders of another day.

 Changes in Game
 Pronounced changes have occurred in the rules of baseball within the past 50 years, and it took the 5000 fans some time to get the hang of things. For instance, the batter got his base on three balls instead of 'ur as is customary now. The first

l ball pitched counts for nothing and | is called nothing. The umpire doesn't l begin to render decisions on balls and strikes until the pitcher served three. The twirler was forced <o | pitch the ball underhanded. The catcher stood many feet back of hons | plate and caught the ball on the first bounce, If he caught a tip foul on | the first bounce the batter was out. If he caught the third strike on the | first bounce the batter retired With the catcher standing so far behind the plate, the base runner was not permitted to attempt a steal. until after the umpire had called ball or strike, If the umps decreed that the ball was neither strike nor hall, the runner couldn't leave his base.
 The batter stood straddling chalk line, running parallel with the pitch CTS box If at any time he stepped back of this line in an attempt to hil the ball. he was out. None of the players wore gloves and in that they played the old-fashioned gloveless game, with a modern ball. they did exceptionally well and made many clever plays. Those who went ou, expecting to see a S5-45 score were agreeably disappointed. President Harrison had had his cast out prac ticing the old-tirne game on several occasions and they staged the mock battle like clock-work.
 And, now that the big battle Is over, fans are sure it will go down as one of the feature events of Bir- mingham's birthday party.
 Following the abbreviated Elyton- Cahaba struggle, professional base ball players from the nations four corners, who spend their winters in the Magic City lined up and al- lowed Colonel Quack and Boss Rick to choose them for a regular con test. My, what 8 galaxy of stars Baseball players, who would bring over $150,000 on the organized base ball auction block, forgot that the season was over, forgot they were contributing their servicesn and got in there and battled for real blood. There was no hippodroming about that game. The professionals are tc be congratulated for the part they played In making this novel event success.

NEW REVOLUTION IN SAL VADOR |S EXPECTED IN '21.

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras, Jan. 23. -Apprehensions of another revolution in the republic of Salvador which may begin early this year are entertained here. The Unionist party in that coun- try is reported to be convinced that the Salvadorian government is opposed to the proposed union of five Central American republics-Guatemala Hon duras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Sal vador-and to be making all prepara- tions for an uprising. In this they are said to have the sympathy of the Unionists of Guatemala, who few months ago overthrow Estrada Cabrera as president. Reports received here state that the revolutionary movement in Salvador has the moral support Of 80 per cent of the people.
 One phase of the present apparently serious situation in Salvador is the re- suit of a sort of coup q etat by which Carlos Melendez turned over the presi- dency to his brother Jorge, which Is al legged to be unconstitutional. Follow | ing this the revolutionary movement was undertaken with Arturo Araujo as l it's leader. Araujo is a wealthy engin eer and landowner of Salvador and chief of the Republican Unionist party. one of the most prominent men of Cen tral America, and has spent millions of dollars for the benefit of public insti- l tutions.
 To stop the revolutionary movement
 the government conducted a series o,
 arrests and deportatiops. Honduras refused to permit arms to pass through its territory to the rebel forces in Sal
 vador and consequently the revolution failed and Araujo fled to Honduras, es- caping government troops sent after
 him by order of the president who de manded Araujo dead or alive.
 The leaders of this revolutionar.
 movement are now in Guatemala pre-
 pairing to again try to overthrow
 Melendez. It is believed here that tn government and revolutionary force
 will come to a clash some tme earl,
 this year unless the United States in : tervenes.
 5 Most of the foreign element in Sal T vador is reported to be in favor o l Araujo and against Melendez who's s sentiments against the United State : and Mexico are a matter of commo Q report Most of the thinking people c

 PARIS, Jan. 23--Paris is ridden with American bandits and the French po- lice may appeal to the American state department for aid in chasing them back home.
 If the state department were to ask the Paris police to make every Amer ioan in the city show his passport, the crooks could be separated from the re- spectable Americans.
 Most of the American crooks in Paris are deserters from the army or sea- men who left their ships at French ports and avoided passport regulations.
 Hard boiled" Americans are blamed for auto thefts, auto banditry and bold apartment house burglaries. It is esti- mated that 400 of them are fin Paris.

Lisbon Merchant
 Checks Bank Run

LISBON. Jan. 23.-One of the oldest and best known bankers of this city was recently saved from the effects of a run on his bank by a sensational in- cident A large crowd of depositors had gathered at the office of the bank CT, J. H. Totta, to demand their money. The street was blocked by them. The firm was paying out the money rapidly when a well known Lisbon merchant who was a spectator of the rush on the bank, enraged by the scene, Jumped on the counter and reviled the crowd in no measured language. He recalled the honorable name of the head of tho firm and said that by his kindly aid many of those present had reaped fortunes, but their base ingratitude was now threatening to bring about his ruin.
 As his eloquenco increased. an extra ordinary transformation scene took place. Someone raised cheer which was echoed by thousands. The bank employees who had calmly been paying out thousands of pounds to all who claimed their deposits were embraced by the depositors, checks were torn to pieces and the elder Totta, 80 years of age, was dragged from an inner office and raised on the shoulders of the crowd amid cheers.
 Since then the bank has received nearly all the money that had been withdrawn.
 The affair is m outcome of tho re- flection in Portugal of the stringent financial and economic situation whicf seems to prevail in the markets of Flu. rope Business In Lisbon was virtual, at a standstill in part of last monti owing to tho continued fall in the rat' of exchange which. in the opinion O the Portuguese, attained alarming pro portions. The situation was aggravate' also by new financial program whicl threatened to make a heavy increas in taxation.
 Other factors which have contribute 10 the depression are bad crops, exces of imports over exports. shortage O
 foodstuffs and fuel, profiteering an

 Unconsciousness from suffocation is due to cutting off the supply of oxygen to the lungs.
 In cases where persons are overcome by smoke or gas. remove them to the nearest point where the atmosphere is clear.
 In mild cases, walking the patient up and down in the open air and giving an effervescing drink to cause belching and thereby relieve the accompanying nausea may be all that is required. 1 In severe cases. when the patient is still breathing, d few drops of ammonia water sprinlzled on the handkerchief and held under his nose, once a minute, is beneficial, and if he can swallow, give ore half (1a) teaspoonful of aromatic spirits of ammonia in half glass of water
 If breathing has ceased, loosen the collar and any tight clothing around the neck and chest and use artificial respi- ration. continuing this at least two breath regularly Of his own accord Then put the patient to bed and give stimulants.
 In all cases of suffocation send for a doctor at once, but do not wait for his arrival before starting artificial respf- ration.

 While whooping cough may be re- garded as one of the milder infections in the case of older children, in infancy it is one of the most fatal. In youns baby whooping- cough in winter may easily become complicated with bron- cho- pneumonia, so you see the danger of exposing the little one to this dis ease.

NAME RELIEF COMMITTEE
Twenty-Five kansans Will Take
Charge of Chinese Funds.


A committee of twenty-five Kan
sans, headed by DR.. Charles M. Shell
don, of Topeka, has been appointed
by Governor Allen to take over and
manage the collection in this state of
funds for the relief of the starving
millions in China. Doctor Sheldon has
hitherto been the head of the work
in the state, which has proceeded
without a complete organiza ton.
The names of the members of the
committee are not to be announced
until they have signified their ae-
ceptance of the positions. Each mem
Der has been communicated with by
telegraph and has twenty-four hours
in which to answer.
The executive committee includes
Doctor Sheldon as chairman; w. w.
Bowman. treasurer; D. F. Shirk,
Ralph McEntire and DR.. Florence
Brown Sherbon. Charles A. Hall has
been appointed secretary of the COM
mittee and has opened an office in
the quarters of the State Sunday
School association at 631 Jackson
street.
There Is still urgent necessity for
relief measures in China, if 100000
persons are not to die of starvation
there. The necessities of transporta
ton make it impossible to send food
from the United States. The money
given by Americans will look after
the purchase of food from provinces
which have It, much more quickly
than 1t could be sent from the United
