 Financially, the Selma Base Ball Association seems to be up against a streak of hard luck. but If pluck and energy can pull the association out 1t will be on top at the close of the seanson. In q financial way 1t seems as if the worst sort of luck has been following the club all of the season. but the directors are hopeful and put great deal of faith in the old saw that it's long lane that has. no turning"
 A few weeks ago when the club was reorganized there were debts hundred dollars. but this matter was fixed up and the club started out afresh and with the determination to make money. As far as playing the game is concerned they have been successful and there was no kick from the fans on that. The attend ance at Dothan and Union Springs was also fairly good and the club made a little money.
 The hardest part of the hard luck story that the club Is experiencing comes in a letter today from Manager Washington to President Rosendorf. The club has been barely making ex- penses in Columbus while playing WiHHtnS walt anu 4uESdaf uf6nt WhiAS asleep Manager Washington had $125 stolen from him. He writes that he was sleeping in a room in hotel with Rightfielder Earthman and that next morning when he awoke he dis covered that the pillow slip upon which his head had been resting mad been cut open and that the s125 which he had placed in there before he re- tired was missing. Earthman was also minus some money which ne had placed in the pillow slip beneath his head before he went to sleep.
 Washington states that the police force of Columbus has made an effort to catch the. thief and recover the money but so far have been unsuc- cessfui. washington has made the association good manager and no one seems to regret the loss of the money more than he.
 After a series of three games with Opelika, beginning with today the club will return home next week. As yet no games have been arranged for next week. but President Rosendorf says that he will have six games to be played on the home grounds. He was today in communication with sew eral clubs in regard to coming nere next week, and thinks that he will be able to arrange dates with all of them.
