ed that it disturbs no one, is tyrannous.
 There is much and excellent argument in favor of playing baseball on the Sab bath.
 However an attempt in Birmingham would not be popular, so those fans grown enthusiastic since the announce ment of the decision in Mobile yesterday in which the law forbidding Sunday base- ball in Alabama was declared unconsti- tutional, should restrain themselves.
 Popular opinion, not destiny, shapes ends in this day and time, and popular opinion in Birmingham. though not in Mobile, is opposed to Sunday baseball at the present writing.
 The dawn is cracked tomorrow, and great race is on The teams of the cir and a prediction as to the outcome is absurd.
 We believe the Barons are strong, thoroughly able to take care of them selves and will finish in, the first division
 But we cannot see our way clear to pre- dict the winning of another pennant. You may paste it in your hat. however, that when the last gong is sounded Birming- ham will be nearer the top than the bot tom.
 All of which reminds that we do not care to take a bet this morning that At lanta wins the pennant, or New Orleans walks away with the pelt also, that if the Pretzels swallow the Barons tomor- row the latter will Hay" mighty heavy on the victors' stomachs.

 It may happen that the youngster will make star man in the Cotton States. He has good speed and curve, and is an excellent young fellow. With the fans in Birmingham he made very fine inn pression, all of those knowing him being impressed with his gentlemanly bearing and conduct.
 Loudon is very young and shows much promise Meridian will give him thor ough trial, and it is probable that he will do well.

The News Scimitar predicts the fin ish of the eight clubs composing tho Southern league in 1908. and in doing so everything has been taken into con sideration. The selections are taken from the standpoint of ball playing. The leaders have been counted as the most important factor. Baseball clubs formed of star players, individually, do not win pennants any more than the club of bum players will. The selec- ton will probably be at variance with seven other papers in the south, but all allowance for patriotism has to be made, as far as the other sheets are concerned.
 The 1908 finish in the Southern league, we think, will be as follows:

Columbus heads the column in the Cot ton States league.
 Columbus, the much abused, the laugh ing stock of every league and associa- ton, is now astride the roost and crow ing as if it's throat will split. z The fans in Birmingham are glad that Columbus, so far has done well It would not displease a man in the Magic City were Columbus to land the rag.
 We do not predict that Columbus will, however.
 In an interview with the sporting editor of the Atlanta Constitution Manager Billy Smith says:
 Wilhelm, while in Atlanta some days ago, told me that Birmingham was not as strong as last year. but l fear he was mistaken
 Wilhelms statement was made one day after the Barons batted that pitcher black and blue. smashed his benders to every conceivable corner of the lot and even over the fence.
 While we do not believe this defeat in- dicates either that the Barons are excep- tionally heavy hitters, or that Wilhelm is weak, we do believe that it should have deterred the old Baron from making the statement charged to him. Inasmuch as Wilhelm was member of the team last season it seems hardly becoming that he should think that one so strong, and this one so weak.

JUDGE HOWZE WILL
 ACT IN BESSEMER
Judge Jackson and Judge Lane Prefer Not to Sit on the Crom-
 well Case.

Judge A. c. Howze will preside over the Bessemer court this week instead of Judge A. O. Lane, who was instructed several days ago by Governor Conner to exchange benches with Judge William Jackson or Bessemer on account of some cases being set on the Bessemer docket for this week over which Judge Jackson was disquali- fled to preside. The entire week on the Ressemer docket is taken up with the Cornwell cases.
 Preparations for the exchanging Of benches had been made by Judge Lane. but upon examining the supreme court decisions in some of the cases he remem- bered that several years ago he had filed a bill in chancery asking to recover of Cornwell and others of the Bessemer Say iugs bank money which his clients had lost as special depositors. Being unwilling or this account to sit in the Cornwell cases he communicated with the gover- nor and asked to be relieved.
 The request was granted and Judge A. C. Howze has been designated by the governor and will hold court in Bessemer this week. Judge Lane will be on hand as usual in the circuit court in Birming ham.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Treatment Of Chickens.

To the Editor of The AgeHerald:
 After reading in your valuable paper the article on the supposed causes of tuberculosis 1t seems to me you over looked the filthy chicken coops. In the thousands of miles I have been travelling both In North America and Europe have not found any man, rich, poor sick or well, that would not enjoy an egg. don't see why in your beautiful city the chickens should be at the mercy of such brutal treatment. They are kept so filthy that they cannot be fit to eat.
 I drew the attention of a policeman, q gray-haired gentleman, to some GOODS. and he told me that he had never known in Birmingham that coops were cleaned. asked him could he see to giving the chickens a clean drink. and he said no. Hoping that this may bring desired help to chickens and sick remain most re- spectfully, MRS. M. THOUSTRUP.

CLASS CONFIRMED
 BY BISHOP ALLEN
Congregation at Pratt City Marches Down to Meet Bishop, Making
 Picturesque Ceremony.

The Right Rev. E. P. Allen, bishop of the Mobile diocese, which includes this district, administered the sacrament of confirmation to a class of 40 young people at the Catholic church in Pratt City last night. This class which is a result of Very Reverend H. E. O'Grady's work, was by far the largest ever confirmed in Pratt City. The services, which were of the most solemn order, were held in St. Catherine's church and were wit messed by very large crowd.
 When Bishop Allen arrived, the con gregation, 300 strong. marched down to meet him and escorted hIm to the church, thus adding to the solemnity. of the oc- casion. This body of people formed into one of the largest processions ever wit messed in Pratt City.
 Capt. w. A. Key, who has been very sick at his home, continues to improve, and before long he is expected to regain his former health.
