FISHER ROTHERMEL. EVEN come Teven, was the despairing cry heard at Rlek- wood Saturday afternoon as the Klwanians struggled to overcome the four run lead held by the Ro tartans In the annual and tie-breaking baseball game played by the two clubs. But the appeal was useless, and the Rotes won ty the somewhat natural score of 11 to 7. At least the Rotarlans say the score wag natural. The other side and the crowd seemed to think It was unnatural or even supernatural.

At, any rate it was unusual and a trifle bizarre. The Klwanians came out determined to put another spoke in the Rotarlan wheel, while the latter was armed to withstand the treachery of the Indians. And they fought hard. The scribe, being impartial, declines to say who deserved to win. Led by Gene Ireland, who seemed to have gained his hardness down at the Birmingham Slag Company and their pitcher-captain, Ray Schultz, the Ki-wanians worked to win.

Ireland out-Cobbed the famous Tyrus by getting four hits in as nwuiy times and playing centerfield like a veteran. Captain Schultz struck out 10 Rotarians, which the Rotes say is a task to b9 proud of. On the other hand, the Rotarians point to the only double play of the game. And it was a play that the Evers to Tinker to Chance combination never surpassed. It came in the final Inning when with man on base, Gene Munger made a one-handed stb of Bissells grounder, threw to Sax Crawford at second for a force out of Gill, and then the ball was relayed to first in time to catch Titus Bissell.

The play brought the game to a finish with the Indians still four runs behind. It is impossible to give a sunning account of the game. The score-keeper got one headache trying to do it, and is unwilling to risk another. But there were high lights all the way from the1 time Chap Hodges strode to the plat swinging six bats until the time he came up last dragging one behind him. As a proof of the virtue of Chero-Cola, C.

R. Hilty got a home run in the fourth inning. Both sides are agreed that it was a home run. The Knwanians c'aim it naturally, and the Rotes admit it because they are ashamed to confess that it took six men to relay the ball from center field to home in an effort to catch the slugger going home from third. Sax Crawford, Rotarlan, In addition to getting a sacrifice and three hits for a perfect-' batting average, won fame by running the bases with his glove on.

Gene Munger, another Rote, hit a three-bagger In the fifth with the bases full. He sat on the base when he reached it, and Parson Barnwell of the Kiwanis, like to have gotten into trouble with the umpires by disputing such unsportsmanlike conduct. Tom Anderson, of the winning team, stole second every time he got on first, which was three times. His nonchalant grace won applause from the feminine side of the grandstand. Octavus Roy Cohen cavorted In center field for the wearers of tha little wheeL giving an exhibition of what FlorrSin Slappey and Napol turn Beezley would do.

The same team boasted a real player in Speedy Estes, both at first and behind the bat. Captain Glen Ireland also played good ball, but charges of professionalism were made against him as he had been practicing with the Birmingham Barons for a week. Doc Gill and Charley Jones fielded You i BOWLING SEASON TO START SEPT.

Opening the Republican campaign in New England today. Governor Calvin Coolidge and Senator Henry Cabot Lodge attacked the Wilson administration, the League of Nations and Gov. James M. Cox in speeches here. One conclusion now appears unmistakable, said Coolidge, and that Is that everybody Is tired of the present administration.

The country Is not only weary of, but exhausted and disgusted with all doctrinaires and vlsionalres. In seven years past, notwithstanding the tremendous opportunities for increasing the high estimation in which America has been held, that merited esteem has had its place filled with hatred and J. Referring to the League of Nations, Coolidge said that to Insist on its adoption In its original form means the defeat of the League and that those who oppose' Article Ten and demand an Americanised treaty cannot support a candidate pledged to the import of the present administration's policy. No man who cares anything about the future of America can go any furth- er but in the Republican party, Lodge declared.

Starting with the riots in Lisburn early In the week, resulting from reprisals by Unionists for the murder of Police Inspector Swansey the trouble has developed various phases and spread to other parts of Ireland, Belfast, Dublin, Queenstown and lesser communities have become Involved. In some glace the fighting took on aspects of a relig-ous war.

After a night of rioting In Queenstown order was restored today with arrival there of a British destroyer with 200 marines. The streets of Belfast were patrolled by soldiers tonight to prevent recurrence of the fighting between Protestant and Catholic workmen in the shipyards.

It' all becaute Billy mad a few remarks concerning the champion which the king of battlers claims Is just a lot of bunk.

xlf that blrd-Dempzey trlez to tell you that can't hit, remarked Micko, when making the nasty remarks. why you Just ask him why was that he couldnt eat for a day or two after our other two battle Just ask him that. Somebody zasked Dempsey, and Dempsey replied: What' that guy driving at? I never had any trouble trying to eat after fighting him or any bo. ele. Then th pursuer of th elusive newt Item hunted up Mitke and apprised him of Dempsey's Ignorance as to the meaning of hit remarks.

Why, tha big sap, said Miske. He knows what It's alt about. But mayba ha's forgotten It, so I'll repeat It. I bounced Dempaeye Jew so'hard and so often In both of those fights that he couldn't eat anything but soup the next day and It was several days before he could chew fried potatoes. That's straight atuff, because he told me to when I met him efter the fights.

then arranged with the City Champions idi of New Orleans to decide the Dixie Amateur championship. The Dodgers rroved their superiority over the Crescent City lads by taking the series. This made the locals eligible to compete with the Cincinnati Norwoods for the world's amateur championship, but the strain was too much for the Dodgers and the fast Norwood outfit took the measure of the Magic City champs. In 1917 and 1918 the Dodgers did hot put out a team on account of the war but last year they came back winning the pennant in the Eastern Division of the City League, again going through the season without losing a single league game. They were forced to play the strong West-field semi-pro aggregation in the elimination series for the city title and ere outclassed.

The Dodgers have continued their mad spurt into this year and have gone through the season with only one defeat, nosed out In the ninth inning of a fast game with the Kilby Frog Switch Company. They lost one protest to Alabama Power Company but reality this was won 16 to 3. The Dodgers stand a good chance, according to the wiseacres to cop the City Championship when they meet the Shopmen Thursday. Friday and Saturday. The team is considered much stronger than last year, possessing one of the best balanced teams ever seen in the City League.

THAT HE BE HEARD BY EMU, L. 8HAVB. Universal Service Staff Correspondent. 111., Aug- 28. Congressman Fred Britten prepared today to go before the Senate committee investigating election on Monday and give information which- he said, if" followed will lead to the proof of two iings: First, that which was appropriated by the British government to be used by its Washington embassy for entertainment purposes had found its way into a fund to support Gov.

Coxs candidacy. Second, that an International banking ring is backing Gov. Cox. Congressman Britten said today that he does not believe the "entertainment fund" ever reached Sir Auckland Ged-des, the British ambassador at Washington, but that it is being handled with other sums directly through British commercial agents jn this country. He said the money, in his belief, is being spent in propaganda which helps the Democratic campaign Issue for the peace treaty and the League of Nations covenant.

International bankers are alsp helping the same cause." he said. If the senatorial committee, he added, "will follow the Information i that I give, It Is my belief that it will be shown that this sum and other larger amounts is being expended in America through British commercial agents in the direct influence of peace covenant and the League of Nations. Any expenditure in this direction is intended to assist Gov. Cox in his campaign for votes so that the effect would be equivalent to a direct contribution to the Democratic campaign fund. I am not accusing Sir Auckland of any act not in keeping with the official position." Senators Ldge, SpenceV, Pomerene and Reed, members of the committee, are expected to arrive in Chicago Sunday night.

Senator Kenyon, chairman of the committee, will arrive Monday The hearings will begin Monday at the federal building here. Will Hays, chairman of the Republican executive committee, Unexpected to reach here tomorrow. MONTGOMERY, Aug. 2S- Special. Owing to the unusual press of work connected with- the making of regular monthly crop reports, no detailed weekly summary was issued Saturday regarding crop progress In Alabama, by F.

W. Gist, federal bl icul-tural statistician for this state. After carefully noting weather reparts for the past week, however, Mr. Gist gives it as his official opinion that the period mentioned has been an unfavorable one for cotton, but. fairly good for-other crops.

Ram fell in most sections on three da.is of the past week, while on four dajs no rain was reported. During three of the rainless das, however, general cloudiness was reported. Temperatures averaged 85 high and 67 low for the week. This combination of weather, Mr. Gist slates.

Is considered very favorable to the boll weevil which was probably very active In its attack on cotton throughout practically every section of the state. The boll weeill, he says, is now reported from all counties, and there htuu been a general suspension of cotton blooms, together with apparent attacks on young bolls and some larger ones. This Indicates, he sas, as one firmer puts it, cotton has about done, its do. The crop, he states, has undoubtedly deteriorated considerably during the past month. Mr.

Gist, in making his summary concludes: was beginning to be felt regarding weather damage to Rpuniah peanuts, such as occuir.d about this time last year, but probably the lighter rains of the past week did not reach a positively damaging stage. Some yields will, however, be i.ghter than was expected some weeks ago. while the crop I generally, jet gives promise of a better (yield than last iar. Corn continues to promise a good yield, and the same can be said of other crops. Rome interference with haying was experienced during the week.

News Items published in the public press indicate that cattle are beginning to move to market, to a limited extent, but not many hogs are being shipped.
