This game will af- ford the local enthusiasts an opportunity to 'get line'' on the men that compose the local team.
 Some of the fans are talking of organ izing Hooters Club" for the season. Similar clubs have been formed in sever- al of the Southern Association cities.

JEFFERSON SAFE
 SAYS MIR. TEACH
Republicans Have Been Quite Active But Democrats
 Fear No Trouble

"You can say that Jefferson County Is safe for the Constitutional Conven- ton for majority of from 5000 to 7o0O,'' said Chairman Robert H. Thach of the County Democratic Executive Committee yesterday. We have not had any speeches in the county and will have none, but considerable quiet work has been done for the convention movement and majority Is sure to be boiled for it.
 This statement by Chairman Thach was in response to a question asked by an Age-Herald reporter relative to the cam paign in this county. It had been stated that nothing had been done by the Demo- crats for the convention movement, and that the county was liable tb go against the convention by default. The Republi- cans have been quietly working to accom- plish the defeat of the convention in Jef- ferson County and to elect the .Repub- lican ticket. They have not made much noise about it, but that they have been active is evident from conversations with certain party men in the last day or two.
 The campaign committee yesterday an- nounced appointments for speeches as follows: s
