WILL MEET IN OGDEN
sECRETARY PEPPERMAN Issurs
 STATEMENT TO ALABAMA EDITORs
Executive Committee of Press Associa- tfon Almost Unanimous as to Change-CordiaI Telegram
 from MT. Hamburger.

It was decided definitely yesterday that the annual meeting of the Ala bama Press Association will be held at Coden, Mobile county, beginning July IS, instead of Sylacauga, which city withdrew its invitation to the editors.
 Secretary Jacob Pepperman of the association. who resides in Montgom- cry. last night issued the following statement:
 To the Members of the Alabama Press Associations:
 ''On yesterday I wired to the mem- bers of the executive committee of the Alabama Press Association regarding the place of holding the annual ses- sion of the Association. All the mem- bers who responded to my telegram (except one) expressed their prefer ence for holding the annual session at Coden. Ala. One member suggest ed that a meeting of the executive committee be held in Birmingham Fri day next to determine the matter of holding the annual session. This sug- gestion I do not deem feasible at this time because good majority of the members of the executive committed who attended the meeting in Birming- ham on June 23rd. then expressed their preference for holding the annual ses- sion at Golden. This preference they have again expressed in their telegS Sam of yesterday.
 Therefore. in view of the wishes expressed by a majority of members of the executive committee, to hold the annual session of the Alabama Press Association at Golden, Ala, shall leave this morning for Mobile and Coden to complete final arrange ments to meet the requirements of the change in the program.
 "On my return home will mail to the members a circular letter convey ing full information relating to the annual session, and to the annual out ing.
 T take pleasure in reproducing in full a telegram I received yesterday from Mir. Max Hamburger, of the Mo bile Herald. I am quite sure that tho members of the press will appreciate the kind and generous sentiments of MT. Hamburger.
 Respectfully
 Jacob Pepperman, Secretary Alabama Press Associa- tion."
 The telegram of Mir Hamburger Is as follows:
 Mobile. Ala. June 27. Jacob Pepperman.
 Secretary Alabama Press Associa- tion.
 Mobile, Ala. While the editors are in Mobile during their weeks vacation at Co., den I shall do everything in my powcr to make them want to stay here per- manently. 'Irrespctive of their politics. the Alabama editors will be welcome to the best on our tables. the cob-web~ biest in our cellars and the best of everything we can offer. ITO have them in our county is an honor which could be reflected by no other body of men in the State.
 Max Hamburger. IT," The editors will remain at Coden a week after the meeting adjourns.

 Talladega. June 27.--(Special. )-Sec- retary Jacob Pepperman of the Ala requests to the, editors of the stafe next annual meeting should be heid of MT. John C., Williams:
 which now confronts the Alabama that the annual meeting for 1908 should be held in the city or Birming- ham or Montgomery. Golden. being far of the State, is not a proper place for the Association to meet for the trans action of it's business. That meeting sociation in Birmingham on the 23rd was very unfortunate and from its deliberations has arisen questions ture welfare of the organization. The session of the committee was supposed to be executive. but its action seems which the citizens of Sylacauga have seen fit to withdraw their invitation for the annual meeting of the Asso- cussed by the committee and, in the presence of representative citizens Of Sylacauga fully justify them in witn- of Sylacauga and TalIadega County feel that an injustice was done them in considering the place of meeting, mousiy selected at the 1904 meeting of the Association for the place of meeting in 1905.
 "T know personally that for three months the citizens of Sylacauga have been making extensive preparations for the entertainment and comfort of the Association. 1t Is safe to say that but for the unfortunate resolutions in- troduced on the 23Td, a more pleasant meeting of the Association would have never occurred.
 of the Association, is absent from the State. I deem 1t incumbent on the First Vice President to call meeting of the Executive Committee at once that the time and place of meeting may be ar ranged. It is very unfortunate for the Association that communications have tary referring to questions and gentle men which involve issues with which the Association has nothing to do.
 MT. Conner and the railroads of Ala bama are not Issues before the Alabama Press Association and it Is very unfor- tunate that they should have been men toned in correspondence which has been received by members of the Asso- citation from the office of the Secretary. There are hundreds of editors in Ala bama who are not controlled by rail road officials or the dletation of Mir. Conner. and a this time 1t is important that our annual meeting be held in the central portion of the State. whereby every editor can be present and that our meeting may be open that the public may understand that the press of the State Is free from any influence on any political. partisan or sectarian issue.
 '"The citizens of Talladega County re- gret very much that the citizens of Sylacauga have deemed 1t necessary in self-respect to withdraw their invita- tion to the Association to meet with them this year. and l trust that the matter has not gone so far that a re- conciliation cannot be brought about by which we may yet be permitted to en. joy the anticipated hospitality of the citizens of Sylacauga and Talladega County"

garded as a coming champion, has
since become q marvellous trick and

Schaefer's first tournament games
were in the Tammany hall, New York,
contests of November, 1876, when he
won two of six games and had the low
average Of 7.GO. Slosson, J. Dion and

Jacob Schaefer.
Jacob Schaefer, the American bill
lard champion, is thought not to have
been permanently injured by the re-
cent accident that temporarily de
stroyed the usefulness Of his left hand.
Schaefer. 1t is stated by men who
have talked with him recently, will
soon be playing billiards as well as
ever.
Schaefer, better known as the ''wiZ-
ard of the cue" is the creates billiard
list produced in America.
Wizard Jake" recently celebrated
the golden anniversary of his birth,
having first opened his eyes in Milwau-
kee in February, 1875. For thirty-fve
years he has been before the public
as q billiardist of more than usual
skill At the age of fifteen he made
the remarkable run of 1,JS3 points at
four ball billiards, using the push shot
then in vogue. More than thirty years
ago he won his first championship. de
feating Adam Klesser, then a promi-
nent player. for the championship of
Wisconsin. the match being at four
ball billiards, 1900 point, for $500 a
side.
Schaefers billiard career is all the
more remarkable not alone as the old
est living champion in point of record
holding, but more particularly as one
who has suffered and overcome many
and serious physical injuries, any one
of which would undoubtedly have turn
ed even champion in any other pro-
fession TO some other pursuit in life.
Singularly, too, the only parallel case
to Schaefers is that of Alfredo De ORC,
who at almost equal age and after sew
eral severe surgical operations has re-
Gently won the worlds championship
at pool in a tournament with the best
players, himself making new worlds
records.
Schaefer as a Ball Player.
Schaefer is another of the billiard
lists who in early life was a player of
some prominence on the baseball dia-
mond. This was during his residence
in LeavenwOrth, Kan. to which city
his parents removed from Milwaukee
shortly after his birth. Schaefer was
captain and catcher OF the champion
LeavenwOrth team. and is said to have
made a success of both jobs.
Schaefer made his first public APP
pearance in a match game at Indianap-
