GLOBE BROTHERS
 REACH THE CITY
REYNOLDS AND VAN DERVEER, NEW YORK NEWSPAPER MEN, ARE WORKING WAY AROUND THE WORLD ON BIG WAGER.

Bert Reynolds and Frank Van Der veer, two New York newspaper men, landed in Birmingham yesterday with the Chinese Honeymoon" company en route around the world on a wager that they could make the trip in twenty-one months without a cent when they start ed, but with 5000 each when they wind up. They are to work every foot of their way, cloth, feed themselves, and to re- port to the New York Journal on August 30. 19O6 The bet is $50o0.
 The two have tried every known plan to make money while on the trip, for they are compelled to earn every cent | that they get. They are not allowed to accept a gift of any sort On the trip they have visited Atlanta, where they like the newspaper boys" but not the town for the hard time that they had in getting work to do. They like Knox vile because they found things easy in that place.
 Strange adventures they have had. They have struck dives where tramps, the regular Weary Willie" variety, make their headquarters, and have heard fellows in rags and tags quote the famous poets and authors. and they have ridden in the private cars of pres idents of big railroads.
 They have written advertisements of all kinds and descriptions, and they have act 1 ed the part of Jesse and Frank James in melodrama. They dressed up like wild boys from the woody west and rode ! 4I.. oAx fha ehapU Thew have washed dishes in restaurants, chop ped wood waited on tables, sold song books In the theatres, put on minstrel show in Morristown, Tenn; put on bur- lesque of Weber and Fields before rail- road club been bartenders, and sung solos in choirs of more than one church.
 The only occupation the two have miss- ed is that of nurse girl, and they are hoping to get job of that kind in Bir- mingham. Now the two are studying the life of a chorus girl from a practical point of view, and with the Honeymoon | company they say there are pretty girls, bull dogs and alligators, the latter of | which were In a comatose condition yes | terday on account of the cold weather. 1 The two were heroes on the trip from Atlanta yesterday. They discovered a leak in the steam pipe in the baggage car and saved hundreds of dollars worth of scen- cry which would have been ruined had the l leak continued.
 From Birmingham Reynolds and Van l Derveer will go to Shreveport and then | through Texas to the Pacific coast where they will try to get a job on ship to carry them to Japan. They also hope to get a taste of battle In the war that is in progress.
 They will visit Turkey. Spain, England, France and Europe, and other places on the continent, and then back to Broad way The two expect to save the money for the trip by writing letters to the New | York American and the Philadelphia North American, the first of which are to commence after they pass the Mississippi | river.

TWO CLOSE GAMES
 SEEN LAST NIGHT
WILLOWS ARE NOW IN THE LEAD, WITH BLUES AND REDS TIED FOR SECOND PLACE. GAMES ARE BOOKED.

By winning last nights game the Yell lows went in the lead in the basketball series at the Athletic club, and the Blues and Reds are tied for second place with the Blacks still in the hole with not a game to their credit.
 The contest between the Blues and Reds last night was one of the closest that has ever been played at the club. The first half the two teams tied, and in the second half the Blues managed to make one more point than the Reds, giving them the game. It was a hard battle to loose, and 1t was hotly contested from start to finish
 The Blacks played the Fellows much better game than was expected, the score being 27 to 22 in favor of the lat ter. A luck throw or two for the basket would have changed the result of the game and then three teams would have been tied for first place.
 On Monday, February 6, the basketball team from the Baptist college at Scotts- boro will play the Howard college at the Athletic club. and on Tuesday evening the Athletic club and the Scottsboro college will meet These games should prove very interesting, as the visitors have been coached by a former player at Howard college, and they write that they are in excellent condition.
 The lineup last night -7as as follows:
 Yellows-Peace, center; Ware, Woodruff, forwards; Johnson, Hunt, Phillips, guards.
 Blacks-Jordan, center; Shute, We'll man, forwards; Spencer, Klotz, Braxton, guards.
 Blues-Baker, center; Chairsell, Gibson, forwards; Riddle, Griggs, guards.
 Reds-Berry, center; Hood, Donoho. fordwards; Ansley, Wilson, guards.
 Score-Yellws: Peace, 2; Ware, 19; Woodruff, 6. Blacks, Jordan, 2; Shute, 6; Wellman, s; Braxton, g. Blues, Chairsell, B; Gibson, 1; Riddle, 8. Reds, Berry, 8; Hood, 5; Ansley S. Umpire, Perkins; referee Jones.
