MONTGOMERY LAUNDRY SOLD.
Robert Meyer Succeeds to Business of
 MP. Riley.

MF. Riley.
 An important business change was made yesterday when the Montgomery Steam Laundry. the largest thing of the kind in Montgomery. and one of the most modern laundries in the South was purchased from the owner, J. NJ Riley. by Robert Meyer. a well-known young business man of this city. The transfer of property was made yester- day afternoon and MT. Meyer will take charge of his newly-acquired business Monday morning and give his personal attention to its management. The price paid by the purchaser was not made public, but it Is understood that the property, which is in the most part of the most improved equipment, sold for a good figure. Mir. Meyer said that the purchase of the laundry would not conflict with his connection with the Capital City Coal and Wood Company, of which he is part owner. and that the uptown office of the coal company would be located in the laundry offices, 122 North Perry Street. He said fur their that although $2,25O worth of new machinery had been placed in the laun- dry during the past year, he expected to make extensive improvements fin the equipment. A sixty horse power boiler will be installed in connection with the present thirty horse power boiler, to furnish the steam by which all the work Is done. When the improvements I have in mind have been made. said MT. Meyer. it will be easily the best laundry in Alabama, and I naturally expect to receive the patronage of the people of Montgomery if I turn out high grade work.
 MT Robert Meyer is a young man to assume control over business of such size. but he enters the new field of work with confidence and believes he will succeed. adv,

Why Docs a Ball Curvef

Why does curved ball curve? That is a questin selected for discussion for the rest of the winter. The Scientific American tells us that the atmosphere causes the curve. The atmosphere. an elastic. compressible gas, acts as continuous air-cushion" on the ball
 which leaves the pitchers hand with a or resistance of this continuous cushion changes the course of the ball in the direction given by the rotary motion. Thus a right-handed pitcher gives the ball "a rapid, centrifugal, rotary mo- ton" to the left and the ball goes to the left because the atmosphere is com pressed into an elastic cushion right ahead of the ball, by the rapid for ward and rotary motion. and the fric- ton, very strong in front of the ball, guides if in the direction it is turning
 Everybody's magazine says: "A statue would have been built long ago of the deep-revolving, scientific. pitcher who

ROwdyIsm Must stOO,

Now that the snowy days are here and one may sit calmly by the bright fireside and dispassionately consider baseball propositions, the conclusion is easily reached that rowdyism on the ball field must stop, says an ex- change.
 For several years. now irretrievably gone. here and there has been a genius who has shown modest temerity enough to suggest th4s same conclus- ion. but his desultory remarks have .had no more effect than pun of sum mer atmosphere.
 Since last season. though. many an enthusiast and nearly all the experts have been thinking about the proposi- tion. anu the time has now arrived for a defiant ultimatum.
 Rowdyism must go.
 It is easy enough to make the state ment, but how to enforce the dictum Is a question that has seriously both- cred managers for a long time.
 There have been two good reasons why rowdyism has not been Iessened long before the present time: Baseball players would not stand discipline and managers excused them for 1t.
 If a player happened to be fined the fine was either remitted or paid by the management.
 The result has been that lining de- Veloped into a farce.
 Realizing. however. that public de- mdlYds required something substantial in the line of improvement. the Na- tional League recently adopted meas ure which enforced should be correc- tive, to say the least.
 The resolution provides that when a player is removed from the game he will be subject to d fine of $10 by the president of the league. and if. on learning the facts, the president deems suspension necessary, the player will be charged $1O for each day he srands suspended.
 If fines are not paid within five days after being imposed the player will be ineligible to participate in any Ma tional League games until such fines are paid.
 This is a step in the right direction. If enforced. rowdy players will soon see the force of the rule. and if still beligerent they will be initiated into the mysteries of the final degree. eX- pulsion.
 Rowdyism is doomed, and the way to kill it is to impose fines and see that they are paid.

 Orville Woodrun is not saying much put he Is doing lot thinking these days: Woody's objection to playing as strong as t was last fall, says The Cincinnati Enquirer. In fact 1t Is much stronger, for he is very de- sirous Of going to Birmingham to plny ball for Harry Vaughan, his uncle Woodruff has arranged to meet Tepeau next week, when the latter comes on to attend the meeting of the national board, and he hopes to be able 70 come to an amicabie agreement with him. Under baseball law Wood run must go to Louisville if Tebeau insist. or else retire from any diamond which is run under the rules of the na- to Louisville last fall in exchange for Arndt, and Tebeau can demand his Ser vices and go so far as to prevent his playing with any other club.
 woody. however. hopes in some way to De released from the obligation. Tn addition to dislike to playing in Louisville he had Vaughan are plan ning to open a wet goods emporium in Birmingham. which will require all their time and attention not devoted to the national game. Both intend to make their permen snt home in that hustling city. where Woodruff feels a greater chance of financial success than in Louisville. If Tebeau refuses to give him any leeway he will pre- sent his case to the national commits sion and argue for a decision, like that granted to O'Neill last fall, who was given bis absolute release after his protest had been heard.

Jennings a Lawyer.

Hugh Jennings, one or the pest known ball players in the country. has been admitted to the bar in Baltimore Jennings has been studying law at Cornell University an1 a the same time has kept up his ball playing in order to meet Hcurrent expenses. Jennings first attracted attention when he was a member of the, Louisville team, twelve years ago. On the same team was Har- ry Taylor, now a lawyer in Buffalo. Both men were traded to the Balti- mores, where they played great ball. Pond, who pitched for the Baltimores at that time. is a surgeon in the Regu- lar Army, stationed at Manila. John M Ward, who managed the New Works when they won the Temple Cup from these same Orioles, has been practic- ing law in this city for nearly ten years. College men were scarce in professional baseball fifteen years ago, but nowadays good salaries for work on the diamond enable many young men in moderate circumstances to climb the ladder.
