RYAN MAY PILOT
 THE PRETZEL TEAM

Montgomery october 2.-(Special)-A director of the Montgomery Baseball club today received a letter from Jimmy Ryan, stating that MT. Chambers had signed him. He writes that he is in splendid trim and expects to play in the outfield This director recently met Ryan in Chi cago and he states that Ryan is in the pink of condition, batted .3lO in the Cen tral league last year. and batted about the same in a strong semi-professional team.
 He considers the signing of Ryan splendid thing for the local club. Ryan has the backing of President Murphy of the Cubs, and knows how to get players. The Chicago Record Herald says:
 Jimmy Ryan. ex-Cub rightfeder. has signed a contract to manage the Mont gomery team in the Southern league for the next two years. R. J. Chambers, president of the club. came on yesterday from New York to have a talk with Jimmy. President Murphy of the Cubs has been largely responsible for the transaction, having recommended Ryan highly to the Montgomery club. Ryan said that he would probably play cen- terfeld for the team. He Is also thinking of securing some of the semi-professional players around town to play with him. Last year he managed the Evansville team of the Central league for a while and then took the same position on the Lawndales, which place he has held ever since

DETROIT TWICE DEFEATS
 THE LITTLE SENATORS.

Washington, October 2.-Twce vctori- ous over the Washington team this even ing, coupled with the defeat of Phiadel- phia by Cleveland, the day closed with the Detroits lacking only d fraction of a point from being the undisputed cham pions of 1907 Already Manager Jennings and his men are hailed as the vctors and tonight are being overwhelmed with congratulations from all points in the American league circle and elsewhere.
 Their almost unexampled exploit of going into the enemys country and bringing d close and stubbornly fought contest to a successful issue compels ad- miration in every quarter, and 1t is felt here in Washington at least that the team which will battle for worlds cham pionship honors this year measures fully to that which lowered the colors of the National league champions last year.
 In virtually winning the American league championship today the Detroits fairly outplayed themselves Fifteen men were in the lineup for the local team first and last, but they could not stop the Tigers at any stage of the eighteen innings played.

The Bondman.

Hall Gaines dranatization of his novel. "The Bondman," which was presented at the Jefferson theatre last night by Wilton Lackaye and his company, is melo- dramatic and powerful. It is more ably done from playwrights point of view, than such dramatizations usually are. and those who were so fortunate as to see this play, had they not read the book, would have thought that they were wit messing a drama cut from the whole cloth. 'srhe Bondman" the play, grips the attention at first and holds it with increasing strength from climax to cli- max, until the end is reached
 Laid in Sicily and the Isle of Man. chosen spot of Hall Gaines fervid imagi- nation the play affords picture of those elemental passions that are, in the last analysis, at the bottom of every mans heart, and there is love story, thread of gold that turns to dross for two brothers There are scenes that incline to melodrama-crude, bold strokes-but they are made vivid and compelling by the art of the playwright and the skill of MT. Lackaye and his company.
 In the third act point of dramatic effectiveness is reached that would be difficult to surpass. There Is hardly q moment that is not rigid, tense, racking and vibrant with emotion. Consider that two brothers are brought face to face. The one has sworn to wreak vengeance on the other for wrong their father has done They have loved the same woman one has been rejected by her. the other believes that she has played him fast and loose. The original feud is infiamed with newer hate and they, have sworn eternal vengeance. Then they meet as convicts in a sulphur mine and the stronger succors the weaker at the risk of his life. even though their identities had been revealed but moment before. This Is merely one of the situations. yet 1t is one of the most powerful and will serve to give some idea of the tremendous force that actuates the play throughout.
 And 1t was admirably acted. Mir. Lack aye was Jason. the son of a deserted mother who had taken an oath to punish

FARMERS OPPOSE GOOD ROADS BONDS Dislike for Automobiles is Cause
 For Action FUNDS FOR STATE SCHOOLS The Total Amount Available Is Over . Million and a Half, Which Will Provide Per Capita of $2.o7
 For Each Child.

Montgomery, October 2.-(SpeciaI)- formation comes from Andalusia that many of the farmers are fighting a good roads bond issue because they are opposed to automobiles on the country roads, IL being thought that if the roads are good the machines will come; if not, they will stay away. One man writing, says: "A thing that tends to crystalize the senti- ment of the farmers against the move for good roads is their extreme dislike for the automobiles. Nearly all of them have mules that are shy of these benzine bugges, and the idea seems to be prev alent that with good roads these freaks of the highway will increase In number hence the unalterable opposition of many horny handed sons of toil to the pro- posed issue.'
 The same writer says that the county is out of debt with s4OO0 surplus in the treasury but the demand Is for reduc- tion of the tax rate rather than the piling up of new debt. It is also known that the counties are holding off on bond is sue for good roads with the hope that the proposed amendment to allow the state to take up the work will pass.
