better than anything in this league, and Jack Robinson will in all prop ability be one of MalarlIy's catchers over in Macon this summer.
 One good thing about Ryan is the fact that he is broadminded enough to know that the life of baseball is its long enough to realize that the suc- cess of a local team depends in large measure on the newspapers. With tnat end in view he does everything In ms power to help out the newspaper boys who write baseball. The life of these baseball writers is not founded on bed of roses at best and knowing that Ryan has no petty spites but makes the task as easy as possible for the news when he came to Montgomery In December and has kept at it ever since Mark the prediction--Jimmy Ryan has made good with the news paper boys of Montgomery from the jump and its long odds that he will have the easiest kind of sailisg as long as he Is here,
 Ryan has had experience enough to know that baseball writers are entitled to their own opinion, and if those opinions don't coincide with his, why he lets 1t go until the arguments of both he and the writer turn the tables one way or the other.
 About the best known ball club in the South for the past few years has been the one in Memphis. It has all been due to the long sighted business policy of Tom Mccullough, Secretary of the club. Mccullough is firm be- liever in the great benefits of publicity to baseball, and not only does he send

 It is learned on good authority that J. Thad Mullen, former Chief of the Fire Department in Birmingnam, is at the head of a local syndicate that would like to get control of the Rir- mingham Baseball Association and 1t is understood that an offer will be made to the larger stockholders in that direction if it has not already been done.

AUTOS OFF TO PARIS
SIX BIG MACHINES LEAVE FROM
 NEW YORK;
Given ROusing Get-Away by EnOrmo9s Crovvd,--Expeet to Reach French Capital fin SIX to Nine
 Months

New York. Feb. 12.-The six auto- mobiles contesting in the New York to Paris race, started from Times Square. Forty second Street and Broad- way, at 11:15 a. m. today cheered by 6 throng of several thousand people. Accompanied by more than 200 mo- tors of all descriptions. the racing nla- chimes made their way up Broadway and Riverside Drive to the city limits, where they turned north on the read to Albany. From that city the route to San Francisco, which is the objective point of the first stage of the trip, lies across New York to Buffalo. thence through Cleveland and Toledo and Chi- cago to Omaha, Cheyenne Ogdens Reno, Goldfeld, San Luis obispo and San Francisco.
 Mayor Mcclellan was to have given the word to start. but was delayed and Colgate Hoyt, of the Automobile Club of America, took his place. All traf1ic in the neigbborhood of Times Square was stopped a half hour before the start. Automobiles clogged the inter- secting streets and lined the route for many blocks up Broadway. No such aggregation of machines has been seen in or about New York since the last Vanderbilt cup race was run. A band played the anthems of the nations as the cars lined up for the start. A pistol shot sent the contest ants away amid the cheering of the people and the hoarse footing of nun dreds of automobile horns.
 The contesting cars are the queer | est looking machines ever devised for | motoring purposes. With their heavy equipment of stores and camp utensils. several of them were a modern rerTe- sentation of the old prairie schooner. One resembled hook and adder truck with long running boards on either side, equipped with axes, shovels, ropes and a dozen other articles. The cloth ing of the drivers varied from black bear skin to pure white fur outfit and head dress worn by a French team. | Three French cars, one German one Italian and one American started in the race. Each machine carried the flag of it's own nation and that of, the United States. They were plentifully deco rated with signs and placards so there could be no mistaking their identity. The buildings surrounding Times Square were, decorated with flags and
 bunting and the stsrt was quite spec tacular.
 Estimates vary as to the length of
 time the race will require. From six to
 nine months, it Is believed, will be con-
 sumed.

The Montgomery Y. M. c. A. basket ball team will tackle tough propo- sition when it lines up against the Nashville Atheletic Club tonght. The Nashville team has played five games on this trip and Mobile has been the only team to slip in a game on them. The Montgomery aggregation, however has not been defeated on the Mont gomery floor since Thanksgiving night when Columbus got away with a game, and cannot see how Nashville can hope for victory here. The Montgomery team claims to be just about as fast as any of them playing in this section of the country and in all the games play ed this season, Columbus has been the only one to show better team work and that was before Montgomery got underway. Illinois, Auburn, Birming- ham A. C., Vanderbilt, Birmingham Y. M. c. A. have failed to break the win- ming streak of the locals on the local floor and as the team is going fine just at present the Nashville club which left home with the idea of coming back as the Southern champions will have to travel very fast to finish bet ter than second in the contest here tonight.
 The Nashville club has team, there Is no disputing that fact, but Illinois and Auburn looked pretty good until they reached the local gym when they blew up in the face or the fast play of the locals.
