Little Rock, Ark., August 2.—(Special.) —Little Rock lost to Birmingham today mainly through Inability to hit Gillen. Several times the locals had men on second and third, but the needful hit was not forthcoming, despite the noisy root ing by the crowded grand stand and bleachers.* The visitors scored their first run in the second on Gettinger’s single and a steal, KalkhofT's single and Cul ver's long fly to right. They did not score again until the ninth. LaRocque singled and McDevitt advanced him on a sacrifice. Gettinger then hit to far cen ter for three bags, scoring LaRocque. Kalkhoft lilt a grounder to short, scor ing Gettinger. In the fifth Little Rock had men on second and third, but the best that Lynch, could do was to send an easy one to second, being thrown out at first, and retiring the side. A similar condition existed in the seventh, when Lynch again missed an opportunity to bring in two runs. He popped up a fly, which Culver took. Following is the of flclal score: Little Rock— AB. R.

Powell Is not satis fied. He Is hunting for more pitching ma terial. A telegram from Boston says: The New Orleans club has accepted the terms of the left-handed pitcher, Kellum, formerly of the Boston Americans, and has sent him transportation. He will go South at once. Selma has a good claim on Stanly, the Virginia League pitcher that New Or leans is after. These two 'teams seem to be trying to sign everybody that ever thought of twirling. There are signs of weakening on the part of the National League magnates In the fight against the American League, “The Largest Store South of the Ohio.” Loveman,J< >seph & Loeb Second Annual Clearing of Shoes Begins. We wonder how many people in Birming ham realize the size of this Shoe Department of ours 1 As a matter of fact, there’s not another department store in the South that carries so large a stock of men’s and women’s shoes. And most important, the stock here repre sents the makes of the best known shoe manufacturers in the couniry. The best footwear of all kinds for all peo ple for all occasions is here, at the money saving price that this co-operative business makes possible. Just how much this big store saves the city of Birmingham and Alabama is particu larly emphasized in this August Shoe Sale. Here are Laird & Schober’s $4 Oxfords for $2,75, and Wichert & Gardner Oxfords, originally $3.50, now $2.65. And then here are shoes from the celebrated shoe manu facturers, Geo. E. Keith at about half price, and from Boyden Shoe Co. comes a big lot of men’s shoes at half price. This August sale of Shoes is the most im portant sale that has occurred in Birmingham. Compared with the selling of other stores it is wonderfully large. Among other things, it shows that we save you money on shoes as we do on other things —in a great many instances we save one-half the regular price I Of course this isn’t the rule, but you can connt on saving a quarter or a third of the price now. In this shoe sale are all styles of shoes for men, women and children. Twenty-four lots are here told of. And there are more besides these I But we think there is enough told here to impress upon your mind the importance of this sale, as concerns prices.

Bring your wife. and If Ben Johnson and McGraw of the Baltlores would say less through the newspapers and settle their differences In private, the American League l as a good’ prospect of triumphing. President James A. Hart of the Chicago National League club, Is the weakening magnate who thinks the two big leagues should get together and patch up their differ ences. It is to be hoped, at least frvm the players' standpoint, that matters will run along as they are, for competition is the life of the game. Chattanooga did not play yesterday and as Birmingham won at Little Rock the tie that has so long existed between these two treams was broken. Nashville has purchased Pitcher Black burn from Little Rock. It is reported that the consideration was $300. When smiling George played here last, in the vernacular of a local rooter, he was peaches and cream of the Boilermakers. Ned Hanlon, who ought to know, says a pitcher should have a reason for every ball he throws over the plate. A good many games are lost because the pitcher becomes careless. This has been espe cially true in many Southern League this year. King Bailey lost his one-hit game to New Orleans on account of Beecher, the short stop, making three rank errors In succession. It now turns out that Corbett, Nash ville's old plcher, did not go home on ac count of sickness, as was reported, but to play ball with another club. The Inde pendent team of Sioux City telegraphed him their terms before he left. They of fered him $160 a month and transporta tion to Sioux City. This accounts for his sudden sickness Corbett was never sat isfled with his stay In the land of Dixie, and only wanted an excuse to get away. He will finish the season with Sioux City. The chances are that Sparger may not be with Fisher much longer. One of his friends received a letter from him a few days ago, in which he said that he had about determined to quit ball playing and go to his home in Indian Territory. While he was in Nashville Just before the team went on the road he had asked Manager Fisher for his release, but his request was not granted, as Nashville was then short of pitchers. If by any chance he should pull out he would leave the team in a bad hole, as they are already short of men. A Bunch of Luck. Little Rock, August 2.—(Special.)-^Toe Veitch, the second baseman of Birming ham, picked up an old shoe in the street this morning and carried it to the ball grounds with him this afternoon for good luck. Martin and Kalkhoff went fishing this morning and caught two turtles. The combination was too much for Little Rock and they were shut out by little Tommy Gillen, it being the third time the local team has suffered this humiliation at the hands of the “iron barons.” We always win on ladies’ day,” said Larocque, and they did again. The supposed invincible McCloskey was Gillen's opponent, and though but five hits, one a triple, were made off him, three earned runs resulted. Keefe or Brandt will pitch tomorrow and Popp for Little Rock. NATIONAL LEAGUE. New York, 5; Philadelphia, 3. New York, August 2.—New York won from Philadelphia by timely hitting.

COMPANY ASKS TOO MUCH FROM CITY COUNCIL (Continued From Page 5.) Thadh held that It meant that the price here should be regulated by the average found in other cities. The city had made a contract with the Electric Light Company shortly before the consolidation providing for a revision of rates according to the lowest price paid in other cities of like size and popu lation. In this connection it Is interesting to note that an average obtained from a. number of cities similar to Birmingham gives a rate of $1.34. Wheeling, W. Va., get3 gas for 75 cents per thousand, and Knoxville, Tenn., for $1. The conditions in the latter city are similar to Birming ham. Gray Resolution. There was some discussion at the meet ing as to whether the Gray resolution really ratified the consolidation. Mr. Thatch believes that it does, while a prominent member of the Judiciary com mittee said after the meeting that it would not hold water. He argued that it was nothing more than a resolution passed the same night it was introduced without being referred to a committee. Other members contend that it did not grant any rights but simply ratified the transfer of rights that had previously been granted. Go with the crowds to East Lake every night.
