Memphis at Chattanooga.
New Orleans at Nashville.
The first five teams are closely Punched
now, the leaders being only two and a
half games ahead'of the fifth place team.
Shreveport and Little Rock both lost yes
terday, the latter now being tied with
Memphis for second place.
Birmingham Won Again.
Birmingham C, Shreveport 4.
On a muddy diamond, where players
elipped and fell all over themselves In
their frantic efforts to chase tho rolling
sphere, Birmingham took the second
game from Reed's leaders from the banks
of Red river. The fire works began in the
first inning and continued, with few In
termissions, up to the last round, the lo
cals tailing the better end of the argu
ment. It was alp, bang and "you am
safe" until the hard-worked umpire grew .
weary with much talk.
Birmingham started In at the very be
ginning to clinch the game, and when the.
first chapter ended she had four elegant
little marks chalked up to her credit, and
the fans breathed easy. Not until the
sixth Inning did the visitors appear dan
gerous, although they had men on bases
In every preceding Inning; but great
pitching by Wilhelm and the magnificent
support accorded him prevented opposing
runners reaching counting territory.
Both pitchers were hit rather freely, but
Lucid yielded hits when they were most
needed, and this, coupled with his wild
ness, enabled the locals to place another
victory to their credit.
A light shower of rain fell shortly after
2 o’clock covering the diamond with a
thin layer of mun, but notwithstanding
this condition, only one error was made,
and that was not very costly.
Leidy’s batting and a running catch
by the same player, Mills' pick-up of two
hot grounders and a long, running catch
by Montgomery were the features of the
game.
On account of the condition of the dia
mond the game did not begin until 4:20,
but when the teams did trot onto tho
field they wei\p cheered by fully a thou
sand of the faithful.
The locals went to bat first and scored
four runs. Moss walked, but was forced
at second on Veitch's hit to short.
Leldy hit to center for a single and Get
tinger to right for a double, scoring
Veltch. Lucid passed Burnett and La
Rocquo to first, forcing In Leldy. Mills
filed out to right and Culver singled to
right and Wilhelm to left, scoring Get
tlnger and Burnett. Moss retired the side
on a fly to right.
Two more runs were added in the third
on Mills’ base on balls, Culver’s sacrifice,
Wilhelm’s dinky Infield hit and Keefe’s
muff of a fly from Veitch’s bat. This
ended the local’s run getting.
The visitors made one In the second on
Welkart’s and ft Ill's base on balls and
singles by McGuire and Bammert. A fast
double play from Wilhelm to Culver to
LaRocque retired the side with two bases
still occupied.
Three more runs were made by the
visitors In the sixth. After Bammert had
gone, third to first, Lucid singled along
left field foul line and Montgomery landed
one in right field, but was thrown out at
second on O’Rourke’s hit to first. Keefe
was given his base and Hulsman hit past
second for a single. Weikart placed a
safe blngle In right, and O'Rourke and
Keefe scored.

COMMISSION ON
TOE MILLER OUSE
Resolution Adopted Asking En
forcement of Sentence
AN INTERESTING SESSION
Police Commission Tried Officers for

Monthly Heport of Chief
of Police.
The regular monthly meeting of the
police commission was held last night.
Three officers were tried for violation of
the rules and regulations of the police
department. A resolution by Mr. Strat
ford In regard to the effort being made by
Frank Miller to secure a commutation
of tho sentence which has been imposed
upon him was unanimously adopted.
The meeting was held In the oflloe of the
chief of Police. The commissioners were
slow In arriving, and It was 8:83 befor^
the meeting was called to order. In the
absence of Chairman McCnry, Commis
sioner Rudolph presided. The following
members answered the roll call: J. E.
Scott, Albert Stratford, R. V. Mobley,
Z. T. Rudulph. Commissioner Thomas P.
Parker came in after tho roll call.
Charges Against Officers.
Under the head of new business Secre
tary Stratford read the following charges
against officers which had been preferred
by the chief:
Officer W. E. Jordan, conduct unbecom
ing an officer. This charge had been pre
ferred upon request of J. W. Howard, who
stated that Officer Jordan had Insulted
him at the ball park on May £0. Several
witnesses were examined. After hearing
the testimony Commissioner Stratford
moved that inasmuch as Insufficient proof
had been made against Officer Jordan that ,
the caso be dismissed.
Officer Joe Nix waa then put on the
stand, there being three cases against
him. All of the cases against him were
for violating section 9, of the police rules
and regulations, the specifications being
neglect of duty. In all three of these
cases It was alleged that Officer Nix ,
failed to answer calls, while In the ca- I
paclty of a mounted officer.
In the first case he was reprimanded up- 1
on motion of Commissioner Stratford. In
the other two cases, for want of sufficient j
prosecution, the cases against him were |
dismissed.
Officer McCullum was was next tried on
a charge of leaving his beat without per
mission. This breach of the rules was
alleged to have taken place on the night
of June 7. After the testimony had been
rendered a motion was made and car- ,
rled that the case be dismissed.
A petition was read from Officer Wal- I
drop asking that he be placed upon the

To number of runs made by patrol

Total number of arrests made during

The report was read and ordered
filed. ,,
Mr. Stratford's Resolution.
The following resolution was Intro
duced by Mr. Stratford and unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, one Frank Miller, alias John
Hendricks, alias John Manning, alias
"Dutch Henry,”*now under sentence of
death for the murder of Officer J. W.
Adams of our force on the 27th day of
March, I960, has made application to his
excellency, William J. Samford, Governor
of Alabama, for a pardon, or a commuta
tion of his sentence to life Imprisonment;
and,
Whereas, Wo deem that any Interfer
ence with the verdict of the Jury and the
sentence of the law would be a miscar
riage of justice, and unwarranted In the
premises, from any standpoint; therefore,
be It
Resolved, That the board of police com
missioners of the city of Birmingham
hereby enters Its solemn and earnest pro
test against the pardon of said Miller,
and against the commutation of Ms sen
tence and respectfully assign the follow
ing reasons therefor: '
First—Said defendant had a fair and Im
partial trial, which was fully sustained
by the Supreme Court.
Second—The crime for which the de
fendant was convicted was among the
most heinous and lawless ever committed
fn this State, being the oold blooded mur
der of a brave officer of the law In the
faithful discharge of his duty by an ad
mitted professional thief and safe-blower,
In order to escape arrest for another cap
ital felony committed but an hour before.
PUTS THE “GINGER" IN.
The Kind of Food Used by Athletes.
A former college athlete, one of the long
distance runners, began to lose his power
of endurance. His experience with ft
change In food Is Interesting.
“While I was In training on the track
athletic team, my dally ‘Jogs' became a
task, until after I was put on Grape-Nuts
Food for two meals a day. After using
the Food for two weeks I felt like a new
man. My digestion was perfect, nerves
steady and I was full of energy.
1 trail ed for the mile and the half mile
runs (those events which require so much
endurance) and then the long dally ‘Jogs.'
which before had been such a task, were
clipped off with ease. I won both events.
“The Grape-Nuts Food put mo in per
fect condition and gave me my ‘ginger.’
Not only was my physical condition made
perfect, and my weight Increased, but my
mind was made clear and vigorous so
that I could got out my studies In about
half the time formerly required. Now
most all of the University men use Grape
Nuts, for they havo-Ieumed Its value, but
I think my testimony will not be amiss,
and may perhaps help some one to loam
how the best results can be obtained.
Please do not publish my name.”
There Is a reason for the efTect of
Grape-Nuts Food on the human body and
brain. The certain elements In wheat
and barley are selected with special refer
ence to their power for rebuilding the
brain and nerve centers. The product Is
then carefully and scientifically prepared
so as to make It easy of digestion. The
physical and mental results are so appar
ent after two or three weeks’ use as to
produce a profound Impression. The Food
can bo secured at any first-class grocery
store. ,
Third—The defendant Is a professional
criminal of many years standing, known
to the police at the north as one of the
most dangerous of his class, his picture
being published as one of the "noted
criminals" fifteen years ago.
Fourth—Since his conviction he has
made every effort known to a desperate
criminal to escape, actually cutting out of
the strongest Jail In the State and being
captured while in the act of scaling the
outer walls, thus demonstrating that no
penitentiary sentence could be carried
out or enforced.
Fifth—Said defendant was the head of
the most desperate gang of criminals that
ever Invaded the State to plunder, maim,
rob and murder, and as a result of their
one night's work one man (Clayton) is a
cripple for life and two officers lie cold in
death, leaving widow's and fatherless chil
dren to mourn their cruel and untimely
death at the hands of this gang.
Sixth—Tho defendant was identified by
two unimpeachable witnesses as the man
who shot and killed Adams, and the lut
ter on his deathbed pointed out the de
fendant and said: "If I were standing be
fore the bar of God I would swear that
you aro the man who shot me, and you
(pointing to Frank Duncan) killed my
partner." The defendant on that occaal m
denied ever having seen Adams, and sub
sequently he admitted on his trial that ho
way one of the men arrested by Adams
and Kirkley, and that he had a pistol and
fired It, and the number of shots counted
by tt number of witnesses proved that
both defendants emptied their revolvers.
The defendant did not deny on the trial
that he wus with Duncan an hour before
the murdor and refused to answer whether
be participated In the robbery of the of
fice of the Standard Oil Company on that
night, claiming the right to refuse to tes
tify because it would criminate him in i
another capital felony.
Seventh—Dick West, an acknowledged
member of tho gang of safe blowers on ,
the trial of Tom Fay, a co-defendant,
swore ttylt Miller was also a member of
the gang and was present when the Stan
dard Oil Company's safe was burglarised
and the watchman shot, which occurred
an hour before the murder of the two
officers.
We cannot conceive how any person
who knows the facts in this case could
allow sympathy and sentiment to so warp
his Judgment ns to ask for executive
clementcy.
We respectfully submit that the good of
society, and the much needed enforcement
of the law demands that this criminal be
not allowed under any pretext to escape ,
the punishment he so Justly deserves.
Be It further resolved that a copy of this
resolution be mailed t© His Excellency,
Governor Samford, to be considered along
with the petition of the defendant.
Commissioners Mobely and Rudulph
spoke at length upon the resolution tell
ing of the effort being made by Frank
Miller to secure a commutation of sen
tence. They urged a speedy action In
the matter.
There being no further business before
the commissioners, an adjournment was
taken.
