even though the boys have had no
practice yet this year, it is probable
that team will be patched together

crack pitcher of the association men
last season, has been anxious to play

are in the South. but, because of his
want of shape, will not be able to go
In the box Saturday, though it is pos
sible he may play third base.
McGraw talks interestingly of the
national sport and the outlook of his
team in the coming struggle for the
pennant. He believes he has a fine
team, he says, but then baseball is a
mighty uncertain thing; the men you
think crackerjacks may prove disap-
pointments, and, altogether, one can't
tell what may happen.
From a financial standpoint, how
ever, he believes the coming season
will be corker. Last season, he says,
all records were broken in this line,
and the club made good money, and
the outlook is that the present season
will be quite as good, if not better.

McGraw, are Roger Bresnahan. former

vannah decided to organize he would
return and assist them. He said the
association is in no sense a corpora
ton for profit, but that its revenue
is judiciously expended for the ad-
vancement of credit interests. The
chief object of the association he de-
clared is to induce legislation for the
promotion of honesty in business. He
called attention to the fact that the
association had secured the passage
of bill in nineteen states which for
bids the sale of a stock of goods with
out first notifying all the creditors at
least Eve days before the sale. Geor-
gia was the last state to adopt this
bill.

TO Fill the Position of Second Lieu
At the meeting of Company b.
Guards, last night. Sergt. S. N. Har-
ris was informally elected to the
place of second lieutenant.
The place was made vacant by the
rdcent resignation of Capt. w. B.
Stephens, the promotion, by election,
of First Lieutenant r. G.. Tunno to
that place, and that of Second Lieuten-
ant E. F. Lowell to the place of first
lieutenant. All of these elections were
informal and will have to be ratified
by a formal election to be held later.
The election of Sergt. Harris furnish
ed an excellent proof, If one be needed,
of the interest that each member OF
Company B, especially the officers and
non-con1s., takes in the welfare of the
command, which they place above per-
sonal aims and ambitions.
First Sergt. J. X. Hazelhurst, though
in direct line for this office and full
ly capable of filling it with sattsfac-
ton to himself and the command, not
only refused to run for the place but
himself nominated Sergt. Harris, stat
ing that he believed that the greater
experience of Sergt. Harris would
enable him to be of greater service
to the command than he would be-
He asked the election of his nominee
on the ground that he cared more for
the welfare of the company than for
the qualification of his own ambition.
The nomination was seconded by Sergt.
W. A. Reaves, who was the second
in line for the nominat ton so far as
office is concerned. The election was
unanimous.
Sergt. Harris was formally first SER
geant of the company and only re-
signed the place upon leaving the city
for what he expected would be a per-
manent stay. He returned within a
few weeks but the place he vacated
had been filed by the promotion of
Sergt Hazelhurst. Sergt Harris has
| been connected with the militia for a
number of years. beginning when a
boy. He was first a member of the
now defunct Barlow Light Infantry,
later Joined the Savannah Cadets. then
Company B. with which he served in
| the Standardization War, and OF
| which he has since been a member.

Asks That Defects About the ONCE
BE Remedied by Custodian.
A letter was sent yesterday to Post
master Blum, custodian of the Post
office building, by United States
Marshal Barnes asking him to take
some action regarding conditions ex-
listing in the marshaPs office.
Objection is made to the doors and
windows opening on the balcony. The
woodwork about them is of the
cheapest kind. and there are cracks
large enough to push the fingers
through. These conditions make IL
impossible for the officials in the once
to avoid draughts in cold or windy
weather and to keep the Office suf-
ficiently warm.
Objection is also made to the man
tells. The mantels are finished off
with sharp, thin, square, corners.
Their hight makes these corners lust
about on a level with the eyes and
they are dangerous to persons moving
about the office. The marshal requests
that something be done to remedy
these defects.

discussion of the military budget.
Herr Bebel the Socialist leader, ask
ed Gen. Won Einem, the War Minis

ditions which governed the entrance
of officers into the army. He pointed
out that Prince Won Arenberg had been
mentally and morally disqualified from
duty as an officer since his childhood
and that after he entered the army
he committed a series of brutalities
which not only went unpublished, but
which resulted in the Prince being sent
to Southwest Africa.
Gen. Won Eineim replied that Prince
Won Arenberg's early life was entire
ly unknown to the military authorities
at the time he entered the army.
Referring to Gen. Won Einem's rec
marks about Socialists in the army,
Herr Bebel declared that whenever
there is need to fight for the existence

youngest to the oldest, to pick up our
