litigation Between w. r. Robertson
and Baseball Association to be
Heard Next Weekday
Transfer the Games.

The two cases in which w. T. Rob
cltson and the late Montgomery Base
ali Association are parties, have becn
advanced on the docket of the Supreme
Court and have been set down for hear
ing next Thursday, June 8.
The granting of the motion of Mi
Eobertson's attorneys puts it within
the range of possibility that baseball
h,ay be played at Athletic Park, near
Pickett Springs. instead of at Highland
oval, near Oak Park. To do this, how
ever, the decision of the lower court
must be overruied by the Supreme
Court iii both cases. Still, previous to
tho granting of the motion to advance
the two cases on the docket. baseball
at Highland Park. because under or
binary circumstances. the Supreme
Court would not have reached the cases
until the fall term after the Southern
League season had ended. Now If the
Supreme Court should see reason TO
reverse the rulings of the lower courts
in both cases, baseball would have to
be played at Athletic Park.
Mr.. Robertson was member of the
Montgomery Baseball Association I'M
Ger whose direction baseball was play
ed last season at Athletic Park. The
controlling interest of the Association
was sold last spring to w. II. Rag
land. Mr. Robertson, as Stockholders
was dissatisfied with the sale. He
brought suit to declare the sale Illegal
and void. He declared that 1t was eff
fCcted with the sole purpose of evad-
ing a contract made by the Association
with the Montgomery Traction Com
pany. He alleged, too. that the sale
was detrimental to the interests of the
stockholders of the Association He
made the further allegation that the
stockholders had never received an ad-
equate settlement for last years bus
mess of the Association.
Mr. Robertson lost his case against
the Association in the lower court. As
soon as the decision was announced
W. H. Ragland and the Montgomery
Street Railway asked for an injunction
restraining Mr. Robertson and Tho
Montc omery TractiOr Company frcr
interfering with the PLAYING of baseball
at Highland Park. This injunction
was granted. Mr.. Robertson thereup,
or took both cases to the Supreme
| Court.
A motion was made on MAY 10 to ad
vance the two causes on the docket. bu
it was denied at that time on tn,
ground that it was made before return
day for the suits had expired. TIL,
motion was renewed yesterday and wa

The Evolution of Ready-Made Clothing.

Many of us can remember the time
when ready-made clothing, shoes.
shirts, gloves. etc, were Stunned like
social outcasts, and practically every
mans wardrobe was made to order.
That was before the advent of modern
methods.
Now all is changed. While here and
there in some lines still exist reminders
of the old order of things, for the most
part ready-made apparel is today far
removed from the clothing of former
days.
We are living now in a scientific age.
and no branch of industry has received
greater impetus in this direction than
the making of mems clothes. Alfred
