 COURT STREET.
General Manager Young of J. G White and Co is in Town Tract ion Company to Begin operat-
 ing Cars.

Further extensions of street car lines are in contemplation by the two compa- nies of Montgomery.
 Yesterday morning certain property owners on Court Street made proposi- tions to the Montgomery Street Railway in regard to the extension of the Court Street line. This line at present termi- mates at the corner of Court Street and Jefferson Davis Avenue and the extension proposed Is to be out the limits of Court to Fielder and into Cloverdale.sy
 The proposition was that a petition would be given to the Board of Revenue to fill in the big ditch on the Court Street extension and and also to have the street widened. a,-
 It has developed, however. that the Montgomery Traction Company has a franchise along the Court Street exten- sion proposed. W

NATIONAL LEAGUE TEAMS
 TO PRACTICE IN THE SOUTH
Expected That Boston Ball Tossers Will Spend Several Weeks of Next Spring in Montgomery.
 Gossip of Sports.

4 Notwithstanding the claims of the out law league the Southern League Is going on in the even tenor of its way, making all preliminary arrangements just as if such thing as an opposition baseball league in the South had never been dreamed of.
 Nearly all of the National League clubs will come South for their spring train ing work. and dates have been secured tn several of the Southern League towns
 Yesterday President Ragland of the Montgomery Traction Company, received a query from Manager Buckenberger of the Boston National League Club. That club will come South and Buckenberger wrote to get dates for his team here in March. MT Ragland promptly replied that before the specified time the base ball park at Pickett Springs. as we'll as the Montgomery Southern League team, would be all ready for the practice games that the Boston Club wants.
 It is very probable that the Boston players win do their spring training in Montgomery. but at any rate they will be at Pickett Springs week or so and will afford excellent practice for the To- cal Southern League team.
 Fred Clark's Pittsburg team will do It's work on the grounds of the Memphis Southern League grounds at Birming- ham while Chicago and other teams of the National League will be at other Southern League towns. These teams will make a general tour of the Southern League towns and the Montgomery fans will have an opportunity of seeing games between the local Southern League team, and nearly every team in the National League.
 Frank Wilson was in Montgomery yes terday and made visit to the local Southern League headquarters, but noth- ing definite was done. Besides being a Montgomery boy and naturally the most popular ball player that could be secured he made an unusually handsome showing with Ed Peters Atlanta team during the past season, his record stacking up with any pitcher in the Southern League. If he is not on the reserve list of the Alt lanta team the local Southern League team would score ten-strike by getting the Montgomery boy to head the pitch ing staff of the aggregation. been made by the outlaw league they have not been given out to the public so far.
 General Manager Semmes of the Mont gomery Street Railway who has the Montgomery franchise in the opposition league said yesterday that nothing had been done during the past week. It Is possible that the visit of President Hickey of the American Association to the Soutf next week will bring about settlement of the useless squabble. If he succeeds there will be only one league meeting m Birmingham next month and for the good of baseball in the South 1t Is to be sincerely hoped that he will fill in the breach.

 ing company played 1t in transforming
 style.
 The company was made up of good
 looking people and they wore handsome
 clothes, but they did not shine in farce comedy. Perhaps. the play was hopeless
 and the players realizing it had given
 up hope of ma king it successful. It real
 ly appeared as if they hurried and rushed through the action of the play to slur over the weaknesses of "A Wise Wo- man."
 There was much loud talking. horse play and rushing about. but the attention of the audience could not be arrested. Like all farces "A Wise Woman Is built uron a foundation of mistaken identity and there are some situations intended to be ridiculous, but they lacked reality. The lines are not bright and the clever | ness that one has a right to expect in farce was conspicuousiy absent.
 Miss Marie Lamour who heads the company. is an attractive young woman, and she was evidently not at her best in
 last nights play. She sang couple of songs very cleverly, however. which with
 a speciality by Miss Alice Geer saved the
 production from absolute lack of interest.
