BASEBALL COMPANY DECIDES
 ON NEW ATHLETIC GROUNDS

the present grounds at Athletic Park.
 The present plant of the grounds at Athletic Park was built by the Mont gomery Traction Company in February, 1903. The grandstano Is one of the most commodious and comfortable in the Southern League. The bleachers are also unusually comfortable while the infeld Is recognized as the fastest skin diamond in the entire South. The only drawback the grounds is that the Traction Co$pany has only a sim gle track to the grounds.
 On this account the street railway people have been utterly unable to handle the crowds going to the ball games with any satisfaction to them selves or the public. In the summer of 1903. when Sunday ball was played at Athletic Park. the Traction Company was completely swamned by the crowds that went out to the games. and the Western Railway had 10 handle the bulk of the crowds.
 TO the new grounds there will be a double track from Court Square to the grounds and a loon that will enable an endless chain of ears 10 he kep, nov ing until after the game ls called In the afternoon. The cars will be run out Madison Avenue and on to the Capitol Heights line to oprosite the grounds where there will be a spur track built from tho main line in front

If the writer of this article were tc say the show at the Bijou Theatre last night transported him into tantrumt of delight. he probably would not be adhering to the cardinal principles oi veracity. If the author of this crtti- cism were to say that the show grated on the nerves of the large audience who saw 1t and sent them home en- tirely displeased with what they saw, the writer would very likely be diverH- ing from the truth.

Real Estate Men Meet To Plan For
 Visitors.
 A conference of real estate men of Montgomery was held at the Conner cial Club yesterday afternoon to agree on some uniformity of action In reference to the home-seekers who will visit Montgomery with the Home-seek- CTS Excursion, which the club Is ar- ranging for February s.
 It was the consensus Of opinion at the meeting that for the actual settler, land owners should make a special con- cession in price. available only to the settler, and not to the speculator. A convincing argument was set forth In favor of such Q reduction, 1t being cer- tain that the class of home-seekers would be of such a class and would pursue such lines of progressive farm- ing as to greatly increase the value of land in the vicinity of the property they secure for homes.
 Ways and means were discussed for handling the visitors, and for show ing them land desirable for homes and farming subcommittee, composed of w. B. Davidson, W. T. Chandler. and O. o. Nelson, was appointed to formulate @ plan and submit 1t at a meeting of the real estate men at the Commercial Club at o'clock this af- ternoon.

 of Realty Company. Structure To Be of Most Modern Type Of Mathematician Plans
 Not Yet Worked Out By

The Gay-Teague Realty Company has definitely decided to erect a ten story ofice building. of the most modern type, upon its lot at the corner of Bibb and Commerce streets. The Advertiser was authorized last evening to make this announcement by Mayor W. M. Teague. head of the company which bears his name.
 Full details of the plans of the new structure have not been determined up- on. because of the fact that an archi- tect Is to be secured at once. and the construction of the new building will proceed without delay.
 The new skyscraper Is to occupy a space 30 by 110 feet. and will be fire proof and up-to-dat in every partic- ular. It Is to be of steel construct ion throughout.
 Tn the absence of the details of the construction, the exact cost cannot, of course, be given, but Mayor Teague says the total cost of the building and the lot will be not less than $350, ,000. |. It will be remembered that the lot was accounted, at the time the cor- poration was formed, to be worth $100.- 900, leaving a difference of a quarter of a million dollars as the estimated cost of the building.

 suIIlvan Scores Mayor.
 The, report of Mayor w. M. Teague upon the transactions of himself and Aldermen ". Lobpan in New York. where they went to sell the refund ing bonds of the city. was the occasion for a sharp criticism oe the Mayor by Alderman Sullivan, who said the May or had asked the Council for advice when he should have given counsel The Mayor, in concluding his report had said that 1t behooved the Council to conclude whether 1t would dispose of the bonds by private or public sale, and the speaker held the Mayor him self should have determined. or at least helped to determine that question.
 An ordinance authorizing the pay ment of $6,0eo, or the necessary part thereof. to meet, the expenses of the refunding of the bonds was adopted.
