VALE ATHLETIC PARK,

Property of Baseball Association Transferred to the New Place Where the First Game
 Takes Place Today.

the greatest success in the history of local baseball. He sold a large num- Der of season tickets secured a neat sum in advance from the street car company to play Sunday ball, the first time the venture had ever been tried in Montgom- cry. the location of the grounds being on the Western Railroad not far from the present Athletic Park.
 The Western Railroad built the fence, grandstand and bleachers and local peo- pie paid good price for the refreshment privilege. all with the tacit understanding of course that Sullivan was to play the season out in Montgomery.
 By method peculiarly and distinctly his own Ted Sullivan accomplished in a short time the following: His week day park was fully equipped, his Sunday park fully equipped, numbers of season tickets representing several hundred dollars which were snugly hidden in his pockets. sold refreshrnent and other privileges representing more dollars, sold and the ''guarantee' from the street car people secured in advance and every cent in good. hard, real money. Not one cent of expense had Ted been put to, and yet he had with the season not started, realized almost as much money as legiti- mate baseball earns in an entire season. We'll finally the baseball aggregation" came to town. The Montgomery public has always been patient and long suf- fering and 1t was hungry for some kind
 
 in the South than this Capital City of Alabama. On Sundays the Western Railroad was taxed to handle the people, between 5000 and 1000 packing the Hob son Park as the genial Ted called 1t. And he had an excellent attendance at the weekday games.
 There was little chance of the ball team winning a game, but the people would have ball of some kind and they attended the games in big crowds.
 Sullivan would have made money if he had played the season through in Mont gomery, but one night he quietly got out of town. Everybody interested in base ball remembers that he was arrested in Mobile; that Smith of that city went on his bond and that Ted again found 1t was his move and left Mobile.
 The Montgomery people who had built his grounds, advanced the money and bought his season tickets were 'in bad" Not one cent did they ever get back.

FROM tnlS ta0le We see that II
we raise 0.37 bale per acre, the
smallest amount in ten years, we
will yet have a crop of 1,750, :

imum amount we will have 15,-
100000 bales Taking the nver-
age 1t would give us a crop Of
13, 100000.
A close study of the monthly
condition reports Of the agricultn-
raj department fails to produce
any fixed rule, except that the
condition Invariably declines
sharply after the August report,
which is due probably to the fact
that the plant does not look as we'll

Shanghai, Aug. 22.-The Jap
anese torpedo boat whose arrival
here caused great excitement
left the harbor today with dis
patches for the fleet now off the
mouth of the river. The tor.
pedo boat came into Shanghai
presumably for the purpose of
attacking the Russian ship Ae-

ter the naval battle OF August
10th. The American torpedo
boat destroyer went iu ahead of
the Japanese boat and cook a
position between it aud the As

The Japanese boat was stripped
for action.

just entering on a new cotton
crop, it is well to take q calm, un
biased view of the situation lest
we yield too much to manipulated
figures of either the bulls or bears
The department of agriculture
has estimated the acreage for this
year at 1871, 81 acres, and the
only other problem to be deter
mined is how much of bale per
acre the south will average this
year.
Looking back over ten years,
we find that the crop has varied
from 7, 157, 600 bales to IL, 1,275,
600 bales, but this large variation
was caused chiefly by the number
OF acres, as the bales per acre
have only varied from 81 bale to
.48 bale.
1t is fair TO assume then that we
will raise some where between 81
and 0.4s bales per acre this year.
The following table shows the
slze Of the crop this year, figured
at the number of bales per acre
for the last ten years:

That sudden cabinet changes are apt
to be confusing to the officials Of the

world is evident from a message re-
ceived at the navy department in
Washington from Admiral Yates Stir
ling Of the Asiatic squadron, says the
Chicago Record-Herald. Since Paul
Morton Of Chicago, the new secretary
OF the navy, was sworn into Office some
instructions were sent Admiral Stirling
and, with the usual brevity of the cable
code, were simply signed Morton" the
last name of the secretary. Admiral
Stirling answered promptly as follows:
Instructions received; will be carried
out. Who is Morton? STIRLING.
Navy department officials were as
tonished for moment until they re-
allied that even in this day of wonder

might be possible that recent sudden

Gone to fight for dear Japan,
Sits the girl, Oyucha San.
All, but you were proud Of heart
When you saw his troops depas~.
Riding like a foreign lord,
Boots and cap and dangling sword,
Demigod and hero man
Who would make new Japan
Thus he seemed, Oyucha San.
"Good SUGGEST" I heard you pray
On the hour he went away.
Shuold the gods heed, can you guess
What may come with ''good success 2"
How his sword may change the plan
OF the silken old Japan,
Almond eyed Oyucha San?
Hear the crickets' reedy tune!
See the lantern Of the moon
Clint the lacquer on the deep
Where the gray carp lies asleep!
Why should armies scheme and plans
Dun ambition for Japan,
Which is blest, Oyucha San?
How the gods may be surprised
When Nippon grows "civilizedr'
When the spade of commerce threads
Railroads through your iris beds!
Vanish clogs, kimono, fan:
Vanish beauty from Japan
Vanish you, Oyucha San!
Progress calls you, so, alas,
Yeddo's blossom time must passi
Soon you'll hear the grinding m

Theory About the Moon.

A German astronomer submits new
theory of the origin Of what hitherto
have been regarded as craters on the
moons surface, says Berlin cable dis
patch to the Chicago Inter Ocean. In
Sirius, the organ Of German astron-
omers, DR.. Voight comes to the conclu-
sion that were the water covering them
suddenly dried up the ocean bed In
tropical regions Of our earth would
show much similarity with the face Of
the moon. Coral formations would
have exactly the appearance of the era
tiers Of extinct volcanoes, and DR..
Voight therefore suggests that the
greater part of the moons "craters" are
the work of coral insects in long van
ished lunar seas.
