Mayor David s. Rose Writes Mayor Teague of Trip To AHontgOn- cry, February 16 and 17s
 Good FelI0VvBhlp.

Mayor David S. Rose, of Milwaukee. Wis. and the other members of the Democratic Club of that city, will be in Montgomery February 1s and II to see what Montgomery looks like, sample the near beer. shake hands with the Democrats and just have a general good time. With Mayor Rose there will be fifty members of the club and twenty five piece brass band.
 Mayor Teague received letter Mon day from Mayor Rose announcing the intention of making the trip and asK. ing that the men from "Schhtzvilie he nut in communication with the pres ident of the local Democratic Club so arranrements can be made for mutual ratification. The letter to Mayor Teague was answered on the part or Montgomery's chief executive and then forwarded to Alderman James s. Par3 rish, who will see to the local cIups end of the excitement.
 Mavor Rose of Milwaukee, is a Demo- crat from the hearts core, but all the same, won his election in town or He- nuhIicans and Republican interests. Owinq, to his reputation for striking inc territy. business worth and the respect of all who know him, he won the last mayoralty race in the Wisconsin city m a walk. The visitors from Milwaukee are on In6Ir way tO 4NC8 OAASe4AD W what Mardi Gras looks like and on tno way down they will stop in at the lar ger cities of the South to meet people and get acquainted, not commercially, especially, but just because, as Mir. Rose said in hIs letter to Mayor Teegue: We are all Americans and it's time we should know each other little more intimately than by hearsay.
 There Is a tendency these days on the parf of Western cities to get in closer touch with the South. Chicago is the pioneer and has already sent several delegations this way and has now made if a part of the Chicago Board Of Trde's work to each year send out large party of representative men 70 get acquainted. Detroit has done the same thing, and Toledo some years ago Eent out a ''board of visitors" Now, although the trip of the Milwaukee men is not so much in the commercial spirit. still there will be chance to talk about mutual commercial interests, af- ter the good fellowship has been ate tended to. ;.
 This spring the Chicago business men will visit the Atlantic seaboard of the South, beginning at Norfolk and going as far South as Jacksonville, and then switching over to Tampa before going home.
 Tine first of these Southern trips that was worth mentioning was that of the Illinois National Guard regiments of Chicago, in 1894. when they went to Charleston. S. c. Later the Cook Coun- ty Democrats visited the South Carolina Exposition at Charleston, and since then several trips have been made. Local Democrats are looking forward with much pleasure to the visit of the Milwaukee men and extensive prepara- tions will be made for thsir entertain penta

H t
 Charlie Murphy. chief of the worlds champion Chicago Cubs, is having some pretty bad nights just about now. Frank Chance. the great first baseuan and manager of the Cubs that was in Montgomery last spring. is doing the annual hold-out' stunt. He has been drawing enough money for the past few years to buy delicatessen foun- dry and smoke good cigars at the same time. but he has succeeded In getting some good friend out on the coast to send story to the Chicago papers.
 The story is that the outlaw people out on the coast have offered Chance the small sum of $25.00o. Now Mur- phy is trying to appear cheerful and indifferent but reports are saying that the rotund one is liable ko get In the class with Connie Mack if the thing keeps up. ,s
 Right on top of that comes the state ment that Johnny Evers, the star sec. ond sacker of the Chicago outfit, fs de- termined to get out of the game--arsd Evers Is saying that 1t goes this time. ' Chance, however. had guarded against q contingency like that and has god man for the place. Now comes Joe Tinker, the sifortstop of the team and the man that John McCios- Key found; and says that the chances are that he wont De in the game this year and that if he is he won't 10 with the Cubs until late In the summer,

Value Of Back Stopping And Some
 Opponents of This Department

Nashville last season, having eighteen er- TOTS in 570 chances.
 Harry Mathews of the Pelicans last year worked ninety-two games but in the midst oi the games he was kept In the line up for his clouting proclivities.
 Lee Garvin of Mobile last year worked ninetyrthree games and had nine errors In 49S cnances In sixty-one games Hub Spike shannon in sixty-seven games hay. ing fourteen errors out of 3s1 chances.
 In his 117 games Owens had thirty mine more chances last year than Shea but four more errors than the Northwestern catcher, and if Shea can do anything like that work this year Reed will have jewel and no miSSake. True 1t is that Shea will not have the class of pitchers to handle last year that Owens went through the season with. but all the same a catcher that can stand ny Shea is all right.
 Back in 1905 the Northwestern League was small affair with only four clubs rta-the jumps were too long and vancou- yer and Victoria in British Columbia \and Bellingham and Everett, Washington, cut ton, and Butte, Montana, being added-this latter being the home of Moose Baxter. able-some good ball was had, Shea with the Tacoma team being one of the leaders of the league both in batting and fielding. couple of towns being added making six club league with Vancouver again in the circuit with Aberdene. Spokane, Seattle. held intact in 1908 and it was the most successful season that they ever had The king pin of the batters in the Northwestern last year was Flannigan, the hard hitting quick tempered Celt who was on the Mont gomery team back in 1904 until his. temper got him into trouble by making him choke one of the judges of play that Judge Kaya- naugh had detailed for the game.
 Just listen at this record, ye demon fans and sit up and take notice. Last season Flanagan In 130 games had ASA times at bat, sixty-three runs, ITO hits, fifteen sac rifiee hits, twelve stolen bases and a heal thy batting average of 1852. Flannigan was one of the best hiters in the Southern League when he was in Montgomery but he never hit anything like that big mark five men in the, Northwestern hitting over 300 last year and four hitting between .27o and .290. All this looks like they had some pretty nifty ball players out there and the Mobile fans have no cause to worry over at least one of their backstops. for Danny Shea looks like the real article.

I mean by this that after had challenged the doctor, in The American Field of Au- thought the Past Master'' was dead, Now the doctor comes out in his ar ticle of December IF, and says, breed better red fox dogs and faster ones, in which I agree with the doctor.
 Dr. won Gremp might have thought I was only Jesting with him when I challenged him for S1o0 a race; but was not. I have run Mary, Buck and LIE, three-ysar-oId dogs, this Fall. up against Walkers, Triggs and other won in every case.
 Jake Bishop and (and hundreds of guests and doss) have had, four races within the last two weeks. We caught all four foxes. and they were all old reds. The longest race was one hour; two were run in thirty minutes. sold December 29. Mary, Buck and Llz to Bishop for $500.
 The doctor says he believes in breed ing for red fox dogs with range. speed, trailing, driving and strike abilities. I would advise the doctor to ship his bitches to Jake Bishop to be bred to Buck. provided they are good ones:
 While Mir. Bishop now owns the three, still challenge the United States for a race with the above three dogs, as I sold them with the privilege of running them whenever wanted. Now, doctor. if you or anyone else has the goods, this is your time to deliver. Bishop has also two of Bucks pup pies, eighteen months old. which will put against any pack. if the owner fears to run against the three old dogs.

What Pipe Ls Jeffries's Press
 Agent Smoking in Far Old West?

If ever a man in the world had-a good press agent that man is the for mer heavy weight. Jeffries This press agent is certainly an artist when 1t comes to being down on that job.
 He started out by flashing 1t out all over the country that Jefferies would not under any consideration enter the ring again. This was at the time that 8 fight between Jeffries and the negro Jackson was suggested, beggariy purse of "only" $50, ,000- being offered.
 Just how this press agent gets his hooks around the correspondent of the Associated Press and the other news paper rush out in Frisco ts something that should make other press agents attend a Kindergarten. All the> same though he is flooding the country. with stuff about Jeffries. and graduaily he is having the, ante raised by degrees until now he has it pretty well spread around that a club out in the mining fields of Nevada-at Goldfield--hns hung up a purse of $100.000.
 Then this artistic press agent puts story on the wires to the effect that
