THE RIFLES AND THE GREYS
 WILL MEET ON BALL FIELD

The Abbott Rifles of Selma will in- wade Montgomery on the Fourth not with fixed bayonets but with bat bags and infinite ambition to- carry away the scalp of the Montgomery Greys who will engage with the visitors in a double header. the first game begin ming at 3 o'clock In the afternon.
 Rivalry between the contesting or ganizations is intense and Is based not only on matters baseball but also on matters military. Frequently in the past these two crack compaines have contended on the; drill field for mili- tary honors and there has been en- gendered a common desire for supreme acy along all lines. teissf.
 Up to the present time the advan- tage of position lies with the Rifles. They recently subjected the Greys to a humiliating series of defeats in Sei- ma. taking three out of four hard fought games, won. however, under circumstances distinctly favorable to the home team. Previously to those defeats the Greys had suffered not a single lost game throughout q period of two years during which time they had met the best amateur organizations of this section, record of which they feel very proud.

MOBILE AND OHIO MEN HAPPY

oficiel notice has been received in the local office of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad that the old prosperity wage scale has been restored and the nnin- Der of employees of the company with headquarters in Montgomery are jubt- lant as a result.
 In common with the other big rail- way systems of the country the Mobile and Ohio made a uniform reduction Of ten percent in the wages of It's em- ployes several months ago on account of the, large decrease In the volume of business and earnings of the company. The old scale of pay for employees or all classes was reported in July 1 and the official notice of the chage reached here yesterday.
 The restoration of the old wage schedule is due to the rapid increase of business during the past few weeks conditions. A local official of the Mobile and Ohio in discussing the re- turn to the old scale last night said that from the fndicat...sts reaching his office the system has nsger done a bet ter business iu It's history than if is today. This will no doubt be a sus- prising statement to those who still cling to the. belief that the country Is suffering from a panic.
 1he report or Increaseu ana tncfeas- ing business by the Mobile and Ohio officials is not the only evidence that the depression which set in last fall and for awhile seriously affected busi- ness in every line is passing but wherever one hears the subject diecus- sed by those In a position to know 1t it declared that business activity is now as great as at any time in the past and the prospects are that even better times than we have ever had are just ahead.

 The weight agreement calls for 13S pounds at the ring side stripped, and only work of the lightest kind will be necessary for them to reach that figure by Saturday. Cans has confined him. self almost entirely to road work and gymnasium exercises of the simplest nature. entirely eliminating boxing. By adopting this course. Cans has had in mind the buildlng up of his strength in anticipation of prolonged strug- gle. Nelson on the other hand has paid particular attention to boxing in his training and seems to be in as good condition as when he last met the champion at Goldfeld. Jack Walsh. the referee, visited the different train ing quarters yesterday and personally interpreted rules to each fighter.
 There has been rush for tickets to the fight, which will begin at 2:30 p. m. Cans is favorite at 2 to 1.
