Clifford Pnchot chief of the for estry. and Dr. N. J. McGee will in day or two board big lake ore earri.s at Lorain, O., and spend three days in d voyage to Duluth.
 Few members of the commission are ac- quainted with the great lakes section and 1t is probably a subject with which the commission will have to deal in connec- ton with the diversion of the fake waters into the Mississippi system, if the great priect for which the commission was ere- ated is to be realized they have decided to take this cruise.
 After arriving at Duluth the party will go by rail to St Paul. where the commis- sion will board the big government snag boat Mackenzie and descend the Miss issppi river to keokuk, la. leaving St Paul on September 27, running only dur ing the day time and arriving at keokuk October 1.

 So far, in this connection nothing has come to pass of tangible na- ture.
 While there will be no outlaw league in the south next spring, it is inter- esting to speculate on what would happen should there be one. Would baseball pay day in and day out in Birmingham? In other words, are the fans in Birmingham fanatical enough to go to d game every day?
 Birmingham in case two leagues op- erated here, would go to see that az gregation play hich was winning If both were winning, then both would receive local patronage. Ii finally would be another case of the survival of the Attest

The aver noticeable fondness of local foothau ento usiasts for the strenuous gridiron sport is accentuated this sea son because of the fact that the pase- ba1l season. as concerns Birmingham, was dull.
 Even at this date when the players in the several colleges have Just got into their togs, fanatics in Birmins- ham are discussing. Yesterday, bets were made as to the outcome of the Alabama Auburn game to be played in Birmingham, and as to the outcome of the Alabama -Sewanee game to be played in Tuscaloosa.
 The sporting element in Birmingham is calling for dope" Why don't you write football?" is the query of a hun dred daily. The reason Is because there is no dope at this time of the year. Every team is practicing hard and the prospects, as all prospects are, are bright
 Reports from Tuscaloosa are to the effect that the University team is prac- ticing in secret. Still, as concerns the personnel of the probably strong team, nothing is said. From Auburn, story comes that the team will be u win ming one" Still, nothing is written con corning the men who go to make mp that team. Some days ago, The Age Herald published story from Se- vance in which statements cerns the men making up the team occurred. From early indications, Se- vance will have q splendid aggrega- ton. As has been stated, at Wander bilt, clouds are hanging low. It is not believed that the Commodores will sweep through the south as during last season.
 It is interesting to listen to the gloat- ing of the Atlanta fans. They were never so happy before. They are try ing to find the tallest pine in the Geor- gia forests for q flag pole. Captain Joyner has offered a prize to him bringing the keenest and most straight. According to the Atlanta exchanges, every afternoon the fans go out hunt ing for a pole, and while numerous have been consigned, none high enough has been chosen.
 Then, there is a daily column as to how the trick was turned, HIS to wheth- CT or not luck had more to do with 1t than 'inside' work. Then there is q series of dispatches from Billy Smith, telling of what he had for breakfast on his scouting expedition, and how his eggs were cooked. They have all ready mapped out programme for next spring when the banner will be raised. They have forgotten that Christmas Is en route. They have won a pennant. and are satisfied.
 In Birmingham, things are quite diff ferent People here are not prone to discuss baseball, and will not be led into wordy argument unless you bring force to bear The fans are sit ting back waiting for another season, and proph esying that another season will bring another pennant raising
