There is no more familiar figure In Montgomery than that of General Sanford, and ne was quickly surrounded by numerous friends. A physician was immediately summoned. A large abrasion under the right eye was the only outward sign of any hurt.
 He was taken hurriedly to his home at the corner of Hull and South Streets,

Sanford, Jr., of Birming- ham. was telegraphed for. General Sanford remained uncon- scious for several hours and until the late afternoon was in a semi mi-conscious state. Last night he was completely conscious, and although only intimate friends were allowed in his bed room, ne was, with the exception of the out ward injuries, apparently in his normal condition. He conversed cheerfully in reference to his fall He complained of an ache in his side, which Is as- cribed to the bruise of the fall. He could not give any cause for his fall. except that he slipped on something or had an attack of vertigo. He has never been subject to such attacks He had no recollection of anything which happened yesterday prior to the fall.
 Numbers of anxious friends crowded the Sanford home last night. and gen. eral relief was expressed when his con- dition was pronounced decidedly im- proved

and some of them died lingering deaths on the bases.
 Their undoing was brought about by long hit in innings when the bases were full or errors at similar critical periods. The sixth was the worst in- ming for the Nighthawks. Two errors with the bases full put in four runs. Durwood Belmont Adams maintained his reputation as a La Joie hitter get

 In fact he was decidedly off. Calm in
 the pitchers box fielded his position
 finely, but at times his curves did not satisfactorily locate the plate. Chick
 Carter, the galley boy. in center speared
 a long high fly and got chesty over the
 matter. The other outfielders failed
 to distinguish themselves except by
 what they did not do. As an evidence
 of this fact young Frank Glass wore
 throughout the game a beautiful white flannel shirt with a bright blue mono gram. At the end of the game the shirt was unsoiled.
 Joe Dunn worked steadily behind the
 bat and it was remarked that he did very well for his age.
 No one in the office is willing to un- dertake description of the playing or attempted playing of Woodruff at first Sheehan at second or Jenkins at short An adequate description would be unfit for publication.
 Cleveland Baber was dragged out of the grand stand to play right field. He distinguished himself by getting bace | on balls from the Nashville ringer" A quiet man sat in the grand stand with stolid countenance throughout the game. He Is the man who pays 1 om at The Advertiser office. It is un- derstood that he will have something to say today to Sheenhans Sorry Sub | Jects.
 Late in the evening Bruce Kennedy | rode out to the ball park as he said
 to see how many runs the Capitol team had scored.
 T was amazed" said Kennedy "to find these alleged ball players exhibit ing themselves before a number of peo- pie in the grand stand. Of course I do not expect them to play in a dark I room, but I certainly did not suppose
 that they would be so shameless as to add to our modification by brazenly
 appearing in public or permitting ladies and children to witness their feeble efforts" It may interest the friends of the Capitol team to know that the score
 was Capitol, 15; others, 12.

NEW WARDS APPROVED
AAfOR CARR SIGNS REDIsTRICT-
 ING MEASURE.
He Favors Allowing suburbnnites to Elect Their Aldermen and Says Council Did the Best Thing
 Possible.

l Mayor Thomas H. Carr yesterday gave his official approval to the much discussed redistricting ordinance and ] montgomery today has seven wards in stead of six
 I The additional ward, which is to be known as Ward '. comprises much of the territory annexed to, the city by the Greater Montgomery act and i'm 1 cIudes Highland Park, Bellinger Heights, Boguehomme and Cloverdale. The redistricting measure makes no aliusion to the selection of two addi- tional Aldermen to represent the new ward, but an ordinance drawn by All | derman Jackson is pending which pro- vides for primary election In the ward at which the Aldermen shall be select ed. the action of the primary to be rat | ihed by the Council.
 In an interview last night Mayor Carr expressed his emphatic approval of this ordinance.
 'I think" he said, it is nothing but fair that the suburbanites should have the selection of their Aldermen not withstanding the charter gives the Council power to fill vacancies. I hope the ordinance of Alderman Jackson. or similar ordinance. will be passed by the Council"

 nance as long as possible to give it due deliberation. He had gone over the new ward boundaries carefully and he declared he was not able to find where an improvement could be made on the boundaries as fixed by the Coun- ell.
 There has been much discussion of this ordinance" said Mayor Carr, land 1t was vigorously opposed by some of ha arH a,,if far Nf thr~ ever, filed formal protest with me and I did not care to put my personal opin- ion against the views of a majority of | the Aldermen. In fact I may say that | I regard the ordinance as the best that could have been drawn. Some of the citizens living in the extreme southern part of the city suggested three new wards. allowing one for West End, one for Bellinger Heights or Cloverdale and one for Highland Park. I gave this suggestion due consideration and ] found that the adoption of this sugges- tion would give us three ridiculously small wards. Indeed. Ward 2, I be- lieve. will poll the smallest vote of any of the other wards and it embraces nearly all of the territory suggested for the three wards.
 | Another question that figured in the consideration of the ward boundaries was the pride of citizens in their wards The ordinance I have approved leaves as near as possible the old wards just as they were except for extension. If we had tried to break the old wards up we would have heard a great cry from citizens who feel a pride in their old wards.
 T believe the Council was actuated by desire to do what was best. Tt has been knotty problem and I am glad it has been solved finally" The Jackson ordinance will be sub | mitted to the Council at its meeting Monday night by the Judiciary Com mittee.

MEAT IN MONTGOMERY.
Effect of Packers Strike Not Yet Felt
 Hera

Effect of Packers Strike Not Yet Felt Here.
 With the exception of an advance of cents a pound in Western pork Montgomery has not been affected as yet by the strike of the meat packers in the West.
 This is not considered by Montgom- cry butchers and packing house people as an indication that the prices on all meats. fresh and canned. will not in a few days make considerable advances
 In speaking of the probabilities of the results of the strike a prominent butcher said yesterday:
 "Of course Montgomery like all oth- CT cities. will be affected by the strike. The entire country's meat market re- spends to the condition of the Western market. As yet, though, except in Western pork, we have not felt the strike and on this we have not as yet advanced our price. We still sell pork at 15 cents although 1t costs us cents more."
