 BIRMINGHAM, Ala., April 9.-Pas- sengers arriving here from Decatur on the Louisville and Nashville rail- road bring meager details of a tornado which passed over the southern DOT tion of Cullman county, one mile north of Hanceville, at 2 o'clock in the morn ing.
 The path of the storm was narrow, but 1t played havoc with farnhouses, wrecking about thirty, so far as is known, and cutting swath through forests, leveling every tree in its path.
 Thirteen dead bodies have been found and about score of injured are ac. counted for.
 Among the dead are Henry Mccoy, a farmer, his wife and five children, con stituting an entire family. They were asleep in their home when the house was blown down on them.
 John Griffin, a farmer, and his son were also killed and four others whose names are not yet known.

The Roller Polo Season in the West Has Closed.
 ;. The Elwood, Ind, polo team has won the Western league championship, get ting a silver cup offered by the Hor- licks of Racine, Wis. John Roberts has been playing first rush for the FL woods the last half of the season, and, with Fitzgerald and the others, is prince in the town, coming in for feasts and presents, including money gifts, that threatens to make them rotund and fat of purse.
 The Richmond Item, paper that appears to be in disfavor all over the western circuit insists that Elwood had the paths ito victory made smooth by the continual laying down" of the Indianapolis team and in a three col umn editorial demands that Hipson and Roberts be blacklisted forever and ever in the wild and woody districts.
 After opening up like a bunch of sky rockets the champion Lowell boys have falling twice in succession to the Malt ed Mixers, alias the Ambulance Corps of Clinton.

The management of the Alexandria inde- pendent team want to spend $500 on a series of three. games with Lowell, but 1t is likely that he will have to wait until the Five of Fox goes through the rest of the bunch.
 Just where the Lowell team will be located next year is uncertain. That they will not return to Lowell is either in part or intact is practically settled. Manager Fox has received splQndid offer to remain in the Western league, but it is understood that one draw back is the refusal of the western management to allow the team to re- main together.
 The Ohio league of which Bill Par sons is credited with being pro- moter has made a bid for the services of the Spindle City speeders, and the boys are going to do a lot of thinking before they act. Long since they have come to an understanding that 1t is ''all for one and one for all,' and if it is possible to maintain the combination they will do so.

SHAMROCK H.. FAST.
Makes Good Showing In Trial With
 First Challenger.

First Challenger.
 WEYMOUTH, England, April 9.--To all intents and purposes Shamrock III. sailed rings around Shamrock I. in the first real test of speed between the old and new challengers yesterday. Tn windward work the challenger sailed faster and pointed higher than the old boat.
 Twice around fourteen mile course, seven miles to leewarde and seven miles to windward, the challenger finished nearly six minutes ahead of Shamrock l.. despite the fact that smarter work was done by the crew of the original Lipton boat. a.
 The wind was offshore from twelve to fourteen knots when the two big yachts strengthened away for the start ing line. Club topsafls were set on both boats, and the conditions were ideal for a test both for speed and gear.
 Designer George L.. Watson in an in terview after the race said he certainly did not like the challenger on her first run to leeward, but her after perform ances, he thought, made ample amends. Her windward work was already up to his best expectations, and he looked for further improvement. V
 Sailmaker Ratsey fenced the ques- tions of the interviewer, but admitted the challenger's performances were a tale of very different kind to that written by Shamrock II.
 1t is arranged if the conditions suit to send the yachts today over meas ured America's cup course, fifteen miles to leeward and return.
