best laid schemes of mice and

The best laid schemes of mice and men"
 This expression was used back even before the time that Sam Crane, Adrian Anson and Jimmy Ryan were youngs- ters, and right now the old aphorism fits in very appropriately with Billy Smith, of Atlanta. and Clark Griffith. of the Great White Way" In the roles aglee."
 Billy Smith is pretty smooth arY ticle. but the most stupid thing that he turned Neal Ball over to Maiarky and kept Louis Castro. 1t wasn't very long before Smith realized the expensive blunder that he had made. Climbers that made Castro looked ike ike a mutilated coin. Towards the end of the season Smith had his think factory working overtime in trying to find some way to get Ball back into the of the season in Montgomery. Ball was sold to the New York American League team Comiskey, of the Chi sasS sa nsd f.r wrea a better S os count of the strike of the telegraph operators at that time his offer was not delivered until the day after. In the meantime Grifith of New York has made his offer by long distance tele- phone and 1t was accepted. The case was afterwards taken before the Na- tional Commission, which body decided that Ball should go to New York.
 Right here was seen the fine Italian hand of Billy Smith, of Atlanta. and Charlie Frank. of New Orleans. Billy Smith was really buying Ball, the New. York" check being backed by the same thing for Charlie Frank, only the New Orleans Chicago check or offer reached Montgomery too late.
 When some months ago The Adver- H.A atn AA~ uously denied both by the local club and by Smith, of Atlanta. The facts however. were just as stated by The Advertiser.
 That was long before the Ryan deal had been started. and 1T he had been in charge of the Montgomery team at that time he would hardly have al- lowed himself to have been outgener- aied.
 Now comes the joke of the whole thing-the gang aglee" part-after alI the big noises that Ball would be hx- ture on the New York infield this sum- mer. Grifith seems to have played the bluff as long as 1t would hold. He has asked for waivers on Ball and when the waivers were all given by the big league clubs, Ball was to be quietly left in Atlanta when Grifhths team leaves there for New York in March.
 But all the time that foxy Dutchman down in New Orleans was dong thinking part himself. He and Comis- Key had one more card to play, and whether it wins or not somebody will have a merry old run for their money. Comiskey has refused to waive on Hall Now with Fred Parent at short for the White Sox. Jimmy Rohe for utility inc fielder. and a couple of other deals on. 1t hardly looks reasonable to think that Comiskey is so dead crazy to get BaIl for the Chicago inheId. does it7 If the old Roman at the head of the Cht- cago White Sox forces the game, eucheres Clark Grifith and Billy Smith. Charlie Frank will have Neal Ball for the Pelican infeld this summer.

OTHER DECIsIoNs EXPECTED.
Supreme Court [. Cen.iderfng Several


 Although the Alabama Supreme Court did not hold formal session yester- day, the members were in consulta- ton and as a result it is expected that list of decisions will be rendered to- day. The probabilities are. too, that if there Is an output of decisions and rulings on rehearings a formal ad- journment will be taken until the spring term of the Supreme Court. which begins April 6.
 There is good deal of suspense among the champions of the three main anti-liquor laws which were passed by the Legislature last year pending the decisions of the Supreme Court. Test cases affecting the prohibition law the local option act and the mine o'clock closing law are now in the hands of the highest tribunal of the State. It is not possible to say wheth- CT the decisions in these cases will be announced before adjournment of the present term or whether there will be a delay until the spring term.
