CLIMBERS NEW SUMNER
 SUITS ARE ON EXHIBITION
Locals Will Have Costliest Uniforms
 Ever Worn Here.

The new uniforms have come and are on exhibition at the ofice of the Montgomery Light and Water Power Company. They are the costliest uni forms ever worn by a Montgomery club.
 The nattiest dressers seen on the To- cal diamond were the Chicago Clubs The uniforms which will be worn by the locals this year are made of the same material as that of which the Cubs's uniforms were made. but the style Is a little different.
 The road uniforms are especially att tractive. They are not of the dead gray color of the former road outfits. The makers livened them up with scar let streaks at regular intervals. These red stripes greatly improve the gen eral efeet of the uniforms.
 Under league regulations little lee- way was given the local club in the matter of home uniforms. The cream colored cloth from which they are made. is. however. especially fine. and it Is well set off by the dark blue trim mings. The caps are different from those formerly worn. both In the shape asid fn7thc snort visor which is a nota- b1e feature of the new caps
 The uniforms will be worn for the nrst time at the opening game on We'd 'nesday.

But the big fell low is showing everything In the prac- tice games and Ryan is grooming him for the first day. when the big crowd gaethers. If, at the last moment, Ryan decides to use a port wheeler, big Mer- ryman will be put in.
 Shannon or Messitt will do the catch . ing and either one of them will on the first day show the local fans as neat a job of backstopping as they have ever seen in the Southern League. When the catching stan around the circuit has been considered but little has been said of the Montgomery catchers. be- cause nobody knew them.

Offers to Bet q sfonth's salary That
 Atlanta Will Not Get Him.
 Billy Cristall is ready to bet a months salary that Ed Hurlburt will not play in Atlanta. Cristall pitched to Hurlburt's catching at Memphis last year and knows the big fellow through and through.
 Take my word for it. said Cristall. yesterday, Atlanta might as we'll look out for another catcher. III bet you all I've got he won't play ball there this year. even if he goes over for awhile. Hurlburt is through with baseball. You know he has all sorts of money and paying business. Do you remember that double row of nigger houses back of the park at Memphis? !? We'll Ed owns them and he owns other property, too"
 "He may play with Atlanta just for the love of playing" suggested one of Cristalls team mates.
 Love of nothing" said the left handler. "Hurlburt has got all the fun out of baseball there is Tn 1t. When a man gets his age he plays baseball for money or for nothing. He has had all the fun that's coming to him out ot baseball You take my tip and see if it don't pan out right, Hurlburt will not catch this season for Atlanta"

 A director of the club said yesterday that he delighted with this part of the team now.
 You remember last season, there was absolutely no team play No at. tempt was made to play inside ball. We were regarded as the heaviest hit ting team in the league yet the other fellows would beat us, Every day Montgomery would outhit the other fellows but the enemy would score the most runs. It takes some head to win base ball games.

Elston Goes to Nashville;
 Persons WiH Play Left

It's all of. Elston goes to Nashville instead of to Montgomery.
 Under the circumstances the proper thing to do according to accepted ideas IS to raise sour grapes" cry and say Montgomery did not miss much. At any rate there is $500 in the treasury of the local association that would not have benn there had Elston come ut. As matter of fact, however. the as- sociation would rather that Elston were here instead of the $500. -.
 Jimmie Ryan received a brief teIe- gram from Frank Chance. manager of the Cubs. in which Chance said that Elston refused to come to Montgomery and he had placed him elsewhere.
 The elsewhere proved to be Nash. ville. which Is bolstering up It's out field.
 Beyond doubt Nashville offered Els ton more money than Montgomery anu that is his reason for preferring to play with Bernhard rather than with Ryan. There were four clubs after Elston. Montgomery. Nashville. Atlanta and Toledo. Mtrphy was kind to the

to be a little rocky. It all depends upon Greminger. Greminger turned his ankle two weeks ago and he has possible. and it looks now as though he will be able to make it, hy having some other player to run the bases for him If he plays, Perry will keep his station at second, but with Grem inger out Perry will move over to third. and Eddie Hassett will cover the keystone sack.
 7 Persons will fill the left garden. Per sons is not in the best of condition. He has had more trouble rounding into form than any other man on the team. He has suffered a good deal from ton silitis and then his legs have been bad with rheumatism. But he is get ting better in the hot weather The manager will do the trick in center. and Henline will fill up in night and lead off in the batting order
 From which it is seen that MontEom- cry may not be able to. put in its strongest team against the Barons.

Montgomery Club Has Spent
 $4,OOO For New Players

year There's Baxter for instance. for whom we paid ti,ooo. That expense was not counted in. mean to say that the new players, whom Ryan brought here have so far cost the club over s&.o00. Possibly some of the other clubs have spent as much moLey. 1 don't know that Montgomery has got the best team that ever represented the city and I know that the members of it cost us money"
 The association is reported in good financial shape All the spring ex- money Is beginning to come in since the ladies' season uckets were put on sale. Some subscriptions to stock are to be paid in before the season and the club Is due neat sum in the aggregate for the sale of surplus players.

 younEster and told him he could play wherever he wanted to play and Ibe best.
 I'd like to have gotten Eiston. " said Ryan yesterday but the team will not be hurt by his refusing to come to Montgomery. If he had come here he would have to work to make the, team like any other player. He would have had to prove to me that he was better man than Henline oi Persons. He certainly would not have been run in without trial ahead of either of those fine players.
 It Is now certain that Persons will play left field for the Climbers The local players think the Wisconsin schoolmaster Is a more valuable ball player than Eiston. He is one of the swiftest men in the Southern League he carries a good head and he can bunt with the best of them His sac rifce hitting and stolen base record makes that of Elston looked like a slick dime with a hole in 1t, although the Chicago cast-off had ali the best of 1t. in the swatting line.

 of the New British Cabinet.
 London. April s.--The vacancy in the offine of Prime Minister of Great Brit. ain caused by the, resignation last sun, day of Sir Henry Campbell on account of Ill health. was filled thii morning at Biarritz France. during tn, audience there between King Edwart and Herbert H H Asqulth, who had beer summoned from London.
 Mir Asquith first rendered to his majesty his resignation as Chancellor of the Exchequer and immediately thereafter he kissed the hand of the King on his appointment to the post of Prime Minister. and First Lord of the Treasury.
 It was officially announced that King Edward will leave Biarritz April 1b in order to hold a privy counsel iu London on the 18th. The new minis- ters probably will have their first au- dienee with the King on this occasion and as 1t Is understood that Mir. As- ouitb was able to submit a list of his main appointments to his majesty dur ing the audience of this morning.
 Mr Asauith ts expected In London tomorrow when he will complete htS ministry.
 The latest information Tn weH ln- formed circles points to the strong pos- sibility of the retirement of Lord Lore- burn. Lord High Chancellor, who. tt Is understood. does not stand very high in the estimation of Mir. Asquith. and the appointment of R. B. Haldane, Secretary of State for War. to this post with the peerage attachment. It ts known that MT. Haidane is ready to leave the War once. He would have | liked to become Chancellor of the Ex- cheauer but 1t is apparent that David ! Lloyd George. President of the Board of Trade. has the keys to that omce | in his pocket.
 Tn the event of Mir. Haldano going to the upper house. winston Churchill. under. Secretary of the Colonial once. will most likely get the War once. which would be more congenial to him | than the Board of Trade.
