Montgomery, March 2S.-(Special) IMAM
ager James Ryan is up against the hard
est job a local manager ever had in the
selection of a team from the 26 men he has
assembled here for the season about TO
open. He agrees that he has in this
hard job of it, There is hardly man in
the list that is not worth while, and when
it comes to setting aside the team Tor

making a mistake.
The pitching staff is decidedly promis-
ing. Stackpole and Thomas, who are just

concerned, have history to show that they
are going to be stickers. Helm also looas
like a certainty. Weems, Demaree and
Almquist are perhaps less promising
though all are prospectice. The league
is going to be rather fast for Demaree, it
is certain, and it looks like he will be
the first to go.
Shannon and Messett will do the receive

The fans are pleased with the way Ryan

ALABAMA LANDS
THIRD STRAIGHT

Tuscaloosa, March 2S.-(Speclal) i'm the
last and best played game of the series,
Alabama again defeated Owenton, the
score being to l. After having been
run over in two contests the college boys
vent in this afternoon to give Varsity
a tustle, and although the outcome was
never in doubt there was enough snappy
playing to keep the spectators Interested
In the second inning, after an Owen
ton player had hit safe, Paul Jones picked
up what was intended for a sacrifice hit
and fired the ball to Pope. who completed
a rapid double by passing it on to
Noojin. A little later Broom drew loud
applause by leaping into the air and
Iulling down with one hand sizzling
liner from Smiths bat.
Bumgartner, perhaps carried off the
honors of the evening by accepting many
chances and tapping out three hits, one
of them being a three-bagger, out of as
many times at the bat. Team work alone
accounts for Alabamas victory, for the
locals were outhit almost three to one.
Wherever there was a chance for head
work the Alabama men always had the
gray matter working. Owentons score
came in the fourth on Bumgartners triple
ond a boble by Paul Jones. The game
was called at the end of the seventh
inning to allow Owenton to catch train.

Delegates Cheer Nebraskan For

Denver July 9.-As the delegates to the Democratic national convention gather today for the reopening of the great meeting in the Auditorium there is much evidence of the strain of the tense fight on the adoption of the re- port of the credentials committee.
 The vote in favor of seating the Bry- an men whose seats were contested seems to have settled any doubt of the Nebraskan's nomination. No other name seems to be mentioned despite the fact that New York and other in- fuential states voted to seat the anti Bryan delegates.
 It is confidently asserted that the nomination will be made today with out fail. Despite the likelihood of a battle on the floor of the convention over the adoption of the resolutions committee report. the Bryan men have such control over the situation that the programme will in all likelihood 70 through without a hitch and with cut any undue delay.
