BIG BASEBALL IS
 INVOLVED IN SUIT
Bill Alleges That 1t Fell on Second Avenue and Struck Woman
 on the Head.

The big baseball which, to baseball fans especially, is such familiar object hanging over Second avenue between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets. has gotten the Baseball association and the Birmingham Arms & Cycle Co. into dam age suits. Four bills of complaint in which total of s7O00 damages is claimed were filed in the city court yesterday by William Bauldwin and his wife, Cassie Baudwin.
 As is well known, the big baseball is suspended over Second avenue to signify whether or not there will be game at the baseball park. It is claimed in tho bills of complaint that Mrs. Bauldwin was passing along the sidewalk on Sec ond avenue a short time ago when the big ball dropped from its point of sus- pension, striking her on the head It Is further averred that Mrs. Baudwin was dazed for period of 24 hours by the blow and sustained other personal in- jures.
 Four separate suits have been filed. Two of the suits are against the Birmingham Baseball association and two are against the Birmingham Arms & Cycle Co.,, one bill being filed against each by Mrs. Bauldwin and her husband. The suits filed by Mrs Bauldwin are for $25O0 each and those filed by her husband are for 5000 each,

to pay s1oo,0Oo last year. It means a gate into Shelby county and the richest county of the state, and 1t means taking advantage of the thousands of dollars which have been spent in that valley on roads which cannot be used by the farmers, who are the men that need them.
 The men who worked months try ing to secure this franchise and failed, should know that 1t slips out of the hand very easily.
 ''The interest on the increased values in the valley will pay for the expendi- ture within few years. The street car company will build anyhow, and it would be shameful to leave that awful grade for wagons and buggies to climb.

BRENNAN WANTS
 ACTION ON ROAD
POINTS OUT ADVANTAGES OF I'M MEDIATE ACCEPTANCE OF RIGHT OF WAY THROUGH RED MOUNTAIN.


 The Board of Revenue yesterday again postponed action on the question of ap- propriating s15,Ooo for the cut through Red mountain. In the meantime great pres sure is being brought against them by the residents of Shades valley, and others in the county. A petition of 1000 names was filed yesterday morning and, the board is still seriously considering the matter.
 T do not blame the board for its care in this matter" said Max Drennen yes terday, but I feel sure they will de- eide to take advantage of the opportunity which is afforded them while it is ripe.
 Tt would really be a disgrace to let this chance to secure broad right of way from the Tennessee company slip away. The street car company will only be able to get a right of way for 14 feet, unless some action is taken by the coun- ty and 1t Is doubtful whether the route woufd ever be widened If the company is allowed to go ahead.

 1.-The finishing touches are being placed upon Conner hall, the large and beautiful building in which will be accommodated the schools of civil, electrical, mechani- cal and mining engineering the school of physics, the state testing laboratories for materials of construction and the cen tral heating, lighting and pumping station. This building will be dedicated soon after the opening of the next session. and for that purpose an elaborate programme will be arranged. Among the speakers will be some of the country's most noted en- gineers.
 Smith hall, the building which is be- ing erected for the accommodation of the schools of geology and biology, the state geological survey and the geological museum,- will be ready for use In Sep tember and when completed will be un- excelled in beauty and completeness by any other similar structure Public dedi- catory exercises for this. building will probably be held during the next com mencement exercises.
 Plans for the Academic hall, the third new building, are now being made by MT. Frank Lockwood, the university arch itect, and the contract will probably be awarded some time during the summer. This building will accommodate the vari- ous schools of the academic department and the recently established department of education. It will be of the same size and architecture as Smith hall.

 Prom the standpoint of curriculum. the universtys progress keeps pace with its material advancement New courses are being added and the admis- sion and graduation requirements are be- ing raised. This has been made possible by the establishment of high schools The necessity for offering high school or sub freshman courses no longer exists, and the university has wisely concluded to leave that work to the high schools As a result high schools everywhere are strengthening and lengthening their courses of study.
 Both the thoughtless clamor for num- bers and the sane demand for standards cannot be met without great and un- necessary cost. Why should the univer- sity stress numbers at the expense of standards by doing high school work when every student can obtain high school instruction in his own or adjoining county? Such action upon the part of our colleges in the past has retarded high school development.
 Beginning next season we will require IF high school units for admission to the l freshman class. In September, 1910, the requirement will be IA units. This will l place the University on plane with the ] best institutions in America

VANHOOSE CASE
 IS UP THURSDAY

The case of Hinton c. Clabaugh vs. ern Wholesale Grocers' association is set to come up for special hearing before Circuit Judge A. o. Lane Thursday morn ing at 9:30 o'clock, after having been twice continued at the defendants re- quest.
 In all probability the case will go to trial day after tomorrow. When Judge Lane last continued the case to June + he urged the defense to be in readiness, intimating that he would grant no further continuance.
 MT. Clabaugh is suing MT. vanHoose personally but the litigation is in ef- feet against the Southern Wholesale Grocers association of which MT. Van Hoose was president at the time the suit was filed. The amount of damages claimed is large, the plaintiff averring that he was forced out of business by the association, which he alleges is a trust or combine fixing and maintaining prices on groceries in restraint of trade and In violation of the Sherman ant-trust act and certain state statutes.
 Suit has also been filed against the association in the federal court here
 The case Is one of great local interest and inasmuch as 1t affects wholesale gro- cery concerns throughout the south 1t will attract national interest when called. Since the suit was filed the Wholesalo Grocers association has held an elect n of officers in which MT. VanHoose v not reelected. However, this has no feet on the suit.
