GOOD VARSITY TEAM
COACH POLLARD PLEASED WIFE
THE SHOWING.
Tuscalocsa students WIN Go Up
Against vaughan's Birmingham Az
grcgaffon On April b--Appoint-
mests to Annapolis.

University. March 24.--tspeciai)--
The University baseball team has re-
turned from Columbus, Miss, where II
succeeded In administering two sue
cessive defeats to the professional
team OF that place.
Coach Pollard has felt so much en-
eouraged by the showing made In
Mississippi that he has decided to give
his pupils somewhat sitter PROPOSE
disciples Of Daddy Vaughan to come
down from Birmingham April 9Th for
trial OF strength.
The work done by the Varsity last
week shows up to great advantage
when II is remembered that three of
the regular squad were disbarrsd from
travelling on account of some dehcien-
cies In their studies. Just previous
to this decision Of the faculty, q num-
Der OF students, including two other
promising candidates for the team.
were required to withdraw from coll
eye on account Of failure TO come up
to academic standards. The loss of
these two men and the curtailment
OF the playing of the other three cast
temporary damper upon baseball
prospects.
II now appears, that despite these
losses, Alabama will again this year
have its usual creditable diamond per-
formers. The following is the way the
team lined-up IN Columbus: first base,
b. L. Noojin: second base, p. j. Pope;
third base r. B. Jones: short stop.

SON win be played Thursday afternoon

NEW BASEBALL RULE.

Chicago, Jan. S.-A new rule to
abolish delays in baseball games will
be brought before the magnates Of
the American League at their meet
ing tomorrow. The rule is said to
be favored by President Johnson and
a majority Of the club owners and
will probably be passed. The action
grew out Of the fine Of 5000 imposed
by Johnson, and sustained by the d.
rectors on the Cleveland club for US
ing dilatory tactics in a game at De-
troit on September 10. Later the
club owners voted to revoke the fine,
but not until a considerable senti-
mcnt had been aroused I'm favor OF a
stringent ruling that will serve TO
prevent dilatory tactics and inten-
t.onal delays

CALL FOR SPECIAL
SESSION ISSUED

Charleston, Jan. S.-Governor
Dawson today set at rest all specu-
lation as to what subjects would be
embraced in his special call to the
legislature that will convene at
Charleston on Tuesday, January 2S,
by issuing his formal call. This
call embraces thirty-seven subjects
which the extra session will be call
ed upon to consider and take action
upon. First, and naturally, the most
prominent, is an act to limit the
amount of levies by public bodies,
this one subject being the real NOV
ing cause of the special session, the
other subjects being subsidiary
thereto, and included because the
legislature being in extra session,
this became under the circumstances
the most opportune time to consider
them. Second on the list is the put
ting OF county officers upon a salary
and the subjects providing for the
turning of the fees Of the office into
the treasury. then many other sub
jects the governor considers peril
nent.

NEW SAFETY EXPLOSIVES TO
END EXPLOSIONS IN MINES

In view of the numerous recent
disastrous explosions i'm coal mines,
it should be of general interest to
learn that a new safety explosive has
been found that will prevent further
loss of life from similar accidents,
and will protect the men who daily
risk their lives thousands Of feet be-
meath the earth's surface in the coal
mines. This new safety explosive
is made especially for use in coal
mines, particularly in those which
are gaseous or dusty
The name of this new explosive is
Carbonite, and it is manufactures by
the +. |. Du iPont de Nemours Pow
der Co., the largest makers Of nigh
explosives in the United States. Car
bOnite has been extensively tested
at the laboratories of the On Por t
Company, and in various coal mines
in the United States, where fire
damp and coal dust were present,
without ignition, whereas In the
same places f11bl under similar con-
ditions, ordinary powders caused ig-
milton.
Carbonite can be used with more
safety in larger quantities than any
other known explosive. AS Soon as
this new safety explosive is generally
used by coal mine operators acct
dental explosions and consequent
loss of life will cease.

the visiting pitcher strikes out the
last home batter with the bases full,

that is one OF the hardest plays known

risky But the thing that puzzles a
ball player most of all is that he
should be criticised for an error lie
