THINGS VERY ROSY
 IN SLEEPYDALE

Montgomery, March 2e-(Special.) )-Man- ager Greminger is making Southern league history. He is showing other managers that it is not necessary to have a squad of two dozen men on hand for the training season, when 19 is the greatest number he will want to carry before the wedding out day comes.
 Greminger signed four outfielders and four inielders and all eight of these will be with the team throughout the season There is not a doubtful man in the bunch Whteman has shown that he will be the utility man, and when not working on the infield a place will be found for him in the outer gardens. This gives the team a good utility man.
 Although he has Krebs on hand, Grem- finger had selected his backstops Shan mon and Hart, before the men reported.
 Greminger has nine twirlers under con- tract but what he will do with them is a matter of concern. Thomas Lively and Guese are the fellows sure of their jobs. Mack says he will drop Files at Nashville for Gremniger later in the sea- son, and Willis. Bridges, Bliss, DeBald and Juul will fight it out for the other permanent job.
 All of the locals are here with the ex- ception of Thomas. Willis. Files and Juu1.
 Greminger has arranged for several more exhibition games, playing Marion in- stitute, Columbus and possibly Alabama, after the Brooklyn series.

LUMBERMEN IN SESSION

Meridian, March 26-(Special.) )-John ". Parker, mayor of Meridian in discussing the report submitted by Manager W. F. Wilcox of the waterworks system as to the cost establishing and equlpping a municipal lighting plant to be oper- ated in connection with the water sys- tenn declared the plan entirely feasible and is of the opinion that the boards would act wisely in taking the step pro posed. He declared that 1t was not the intention of the city, if it engaged in the lighting business. to make 1t a commer- cial serviee that 1t would be used strictly and only for city purposes, such as light ing the streets and the buildings belong ing to the city. In the opinion of the mayor the greatest advantage to be de- rived from the establishment of such system would be to extend the lights to more remote parts of the city and that the cost would not be greater than it is at present The city now has about 225 arc lights and pays s6s5O each for them per annum. The proposed plant would inaugurate 600 lights at about the same cost, or practically the same. As a matter of business the mayor says that the proposed municipal plant would be paying proposition.
