. get more runs on fewer hits and
win more few-hit games than any
other manager. A hard worker,
hard loser, manager who kicks
hard on every close decision that
doesn't come his way. Won Ameri-
can league pennant in 1906 has
made a splendid uphill fight this
season.
James r. McAleer, manager St.
Louis Browns-In his day, as a
player, greatest outfielder the game
has ever known. Quit playing sew
eral years ago. Famous now as
the best trader" in the business;
has strengthened his team annually
by advantageous deals. Brought St.
Louis team from weak tailenders a
few seasons ago to pennant con-
tenders today. Full of ginger, keeps
his men keyed up all the time, but
picks no fuses with umpires.
Hugh Jennings, manager Detroit
Tigers-Achieved fame by winning
American league pennant first year
he managed Detroit team. Back in
the '9Os was shortstop on Baltimore
Orioles, who won several National
league pennants. Was crack fielder,
good hitter, lightning on bases.
Brought harmony to disorganized
Tigers, made great players out of
mediocre men. Noted as nOisiest
and most unique coacher in the
busisiness. Does not play.

George Hackenschmidt, once the
Russian Lion, but who has not
been thought of as much of a lion
since Frank Gotch made him quit
in Chicago, is trying to arrange ex-

be fat and unhealthy looking. He
says though that he is in the best

to meet Gotch again.

Battling Nelson beat Joe Cans
decisively in Il rounds yesterday
at Colma, Cal, and left no doubt
as to his superiority over the col

After the fight Cans said it was
positively his last, and it probably
is. Nelson declared that it was
his last fight with the off colored
ones. He gave out the information
that the decision was a compact

JENSEN RECEIVERS

Irv. Jensen, after a short rest, is
back in the game again, and yes
terday, although his pitching was
not remarkable, he won over Aber-
deem, 2 to i. The Indians got only
four hits off big Gus Thompson,
but punched them in the second
inning and got the tallies.
Aberdeen registered once in the
third and that was all Campbell
on Aberdeen's third base line made
the only error of the game. Brown
and Streib connected for doubles
and Householder a single, but these
long ones were inopportune and
didn't result in rungetting.

THE OPENING DAY
THERE WILL BE NO PARADE OF
 FIFE PLAYERS
Rynn is Opposed to Players Psrades- Brass Band Will Make Cir- cuffs cs Downtcwn
 District


 Montgomery will pry open the season with big brass band. The brass band will be the only unusual feature of the day.
 Manager Jimmy Ryan uoes not be- opening of a game. The players them selves, he says. dislike 1t. Moreover. players parade. he says. is the I. or est sort of preparation for a grueiling Ncontest on the diamond. When the CTS will catch any car that will take them to the park and take their own time In preparing for the game.
 In the meanwhile the brass band will be footing away merrily in the down. town district. The band will be load ed on a special street car and wheeled around the city in notifying all who are interested. that the big show is about to begin.
 There will not be any pennant rais- ing exercises at the park. Come to think of it. there never has been any pennant raising exercises on a local diamond. The locals. in one memorable year. showed a dazzling burst of speed tom to the top of the lineup. But no Montgomery manager has ever had to pick out pole for pennant.
 Jimmie Ryan may be the child of destiny. but hope has long been de- ferred. But one thing Is certain. Ryan starts out with the best and fastest aggregation that ever represented Montgomery. It may not win a pen but it's the best team that ever opened the season for Montgomery.
 A petition was out yesterday t. clnse the downtown stores to give every b1dH chance to see the game. The prop osition met with warm favor. The pe- tition was largely signed. If all the agree the crowd at the open ing session will be whopper.

PROPOSED UNIVERSITY
 GAMES CALLED OFF

The proposed game between the Climbers and the fast college team. which is representing the University of Alabama. has of a necessity been called of, Satisfactory dates could not be arranged.
 Ryan would like to have played the collegians on Friday and Saturday. but the University boys had those dates filled. They could have come to Mont gomery on Monday and Tuesday, but Ryan was unwilling to play them on the two days previous to the opening of the season. In the first place, he did not believe that much patronage could be expected on the verge of the opening game. In addition to that, Ryan does not care to work his men hard on the eve of the conflict He is anxious to take that first game from Birmingham and he wants Slis men to be on edge for the contest. They will be given light work on Monday and Tuesday. The hard practice will end with Saturday afternoon. The players are hard enough right now to go. into the contest and Ryan determined to give them two days of comparative rest previous to the p1pening. rather to run them through the two proposed games with the collegians.

Elston May Not Come; Reported
 That He May Sign With Toledo

Ryan is threatened with his first disappointment. There may be hitch in tne Elston deal.
 Charlie Hughes. writing from Nash vile to The Chicago Record Herald: says that President Murphy 5y,tb has vb t9id ever club he wanted. Then, he says Elston said he preferred edot to ts9teto go win prefer Toledo to Montgomery. This seems to confirm the statement EIstnn of o6u,d hit he was a "bonehead" player. But 1t may all be a mistake. Stin Ryan has heard nothing definite and he has been expecting a telegram stating that Elston was on his way to Montgom- cry.
 Murphy had told Ryan he could have Elston if Chance did not object and Chance told Ryan he could have Elston if Murphy did not object. NBut accord ing to The Record Herald story Mur- phy. out of sympathy for the player told him he could sign with Toledo if he wanted to do 1t.

 Picture of Jimmie Ryan

Noah Henline. professional photo grapher. is the author of the work of art shown above. It's neat bit. too.
 It's by far the best photograph of the manager printed since he came South. If Henline should hang out his shingle as photographer in Montgom- cry he ought to get a lot of business on the showing he makes in this pie ture of his boss. It's speaking like ness of Jimmie Ryan at the bat and no camera artist could have done it better.
 Montgomery there are thousands of ardent supporters of the Montgomery ball team. Each and every one of them take keen interest in the club and all that pertains to it.

 When Perry was snapped the Om- cial Photographer had trouble with the subjects cap. After he had adjusted the cap to suit. the phtog. danced around Perry with a sissy stage step, dampened his finger on his tongue and gave Perry's hair a delicate roll and curl. Then he skipped in sissy style back to his apparatus.
