 The two teams have both been hard at work and if the past records of the teams count for anything. the game will be an intensely interesting one.
 Prospects of championship games this year between Birmingham and Nashville seem rather vague just now. Sid B. Jones, chairman of the basket ball com mittee of the B. A. c. has just received letter from Manager Phillips of the Nashville team, declining to meet Birm- insham this year, assigning as reason that they didn't care to play on account of certain unpleasant relations between the two teams last year. The incident referred to was when Birmingham re- fused to play Nashville unless Woodward, an acknowledged profe fessional athlete, was removed Nashville promptly complied with this demand and the season was finished without him. Manager Phillips letter, MT. Jones says, was the first kick Birmingham has heard over this old in- cident, and every one thought it was for gotten.
 The Birmingham players think that Nashville either intends playing profes- sionals on their team this year, CT else they are afraid to go into a league with Chattanooga and Birmingham. as in former years. since they are no longer the Southern champions. It will be re- membered that Birmingham defeated | Nashville overwhelmingly in both of last years games, while few weeks ago Pur- due university ran away with them in both games between those teams. Birm- ingham on the other hand. broke even with Purdue, winning one game and los 1 ing the other. From these facts the Birmingham players argue there is a | great deal of truth in the theory that Nashville fears the organization of a | Southern Championship League.

Perkins Railroad Letter.
L DIspIaces Dispatchers.
! Considerable attention is being
given by officials of all railroads TO
the comparatively new plan of OPP
Grating trains without orders from
dispatchers. This is known as the
non-train order system and it was
first introduced on the Chicago divi-
sion of the Burlington road about
three years ago.
There are no complicated rules
about the scheme. The only require
ment for the operation of trains with
out orders is complete block signal
system and double track, though
the plan is feasible ON a singIe-track
line.
There is a question as to just who
originated the idea of waving the
time honored orders from train dis
patchers ON the Burlington. 1t was,
strange To record, nearly two years
before the fact that such system
was in use became generally known
among the railroad men of the coun-
try.
AS soon as il became known that
all trains on the Illinois main line of
the Burlington were being operated
without assistance of train, dis
patchers railway officials of other
lines began To study the system.
There was little to study, as the only
thing necessary to change from an
order to a nonorder road was to call
off the train dispatcher. place time
cards in the hands of engineers and
trainmen and the man in the block
signal towers did the rest.
The nontrain order system is now
to be adopted on the Lake Shore and
probably will be used on several other
roads. Those who have been in touch
with the system say ii is proving
safer than the train dispatcher's or
ders.
Under the more modern plan the
entire responsibility is thrown upon
the men on the ground-the train
men, engineers and block signal OPP
orators. 1t is simple proposition
of the block signal operators allow
ing one train to get out of a block
before another enters il. BY a block
is meant the distances between any
two signals.
BY this method wrecks are almost
impossible. II makes no difference
how many trains are run nor whether
they are extra, fast mail or passen-
ger or the sIowest going local freights
or work trains. 1t all resolves itself
into keeping one train out of a block
until the one ahead has passed into
the next block.
The Bessemer and Lake Erie road
is the latest line to adopt the nom
order system.

Restauranter, Accused by Domestic,

a. ID. Appleby, who keeps "a restau-

$500 bonds in this city today on
charges preferred by Matilda Villa
muth, domestic in his establish
ment.
The arrest and preliminary hear

y warrant for the arrest of Appleby
was sworn out yesterday before JUS

there is no constable at-that place
the justice deputized citizen nam
ed Skies To make the arrest.
This having been done the course
of justice was interrupted by anoth-
or serious obstacle. There was no
place in which to keep the prisoner
and the Justice was not quite up on
the method of bonding for an appear
ance.

Accordingly Justice Gerhart himself
took charge of the prisoner and the
two came to this city together, put
ting up for the night at the Rock Is

room.
This morning States Attorney Weld
was sought out and the case made
clear to him. In order to cover any
possible flaw in the procedure that
official called in Coroner Eckhart, by
whom the warrant was again served
upon Appleby and the bonds for his
appearance for trial were made out
and signed by acquaiDtances of the
