Henry Meek Leaves.

Henry Meek, former Baron first base man and catcher, who has hit them against every fence in the Southern league, announced yesterday that he would leave today for Chattanooga.
 He states that he will take charge of the baseball team of the University of Chattanooga, but will not report to John ny Dobbs, Chattanooga manager until his trouble with the local association has reached climax. As is known, Meek is petitioning the national commission for his release, claiming that the association owes him bonus which 1t will not pay. The disagreement Is based on the diff ference of opinion as to whether Meek last season, played good, consistent base ball. Meek thinks he did and the as- sociation thinks he did not.
 Meek Is very popular with the man agers, players, fans and sporting writers in the south, and his departure Is viewed with wide regret.
 He came south in 1906, playing in the last half of the championship season That year he hit .29S. In 1907 he stung 'em at a .340 clip, and last year, with a demoralized team, hit .2S6 He Is one of the best natural hitters who ever ap- peared in the Southern league. He is of jovial disposition, and easily makes friends. It is predicted that after Meek passes a season In the South Atlantic the several cities will have to repair their fences before another year.

BROADWAY CHEFS SkEPTIc.
Texas's Feast of Running 6lrds'
 Tongues Called Grand Bluff.

From the New York Evening Post.
 Chefs of the restaurants along Broad- way were stirred when they were told of dispatch from Texas about the dish of humming birds tongues to be served at a banquet in San Antonio. They fumed and they sputtered as they thumbed the well worn pages of cook books handed down by generations of white aproned ancestors. To be beaten by prairie cooks from the Rio Grande was enough to ruffle the calmest tempep of the range.
 Its ze one grand fakairel' shouted q fat little man amid the rattle and clats ter of pots and pans. "Humming birds tongues Bahl Fey are like tho tooth- pick in ze pie. To make one bite, 500r'

 'Humming birds. 800, to catch them, yes? Take ze week, ze month, to get ze mouthful."
 Another chef, with mustache. eyebrows and hands elevated, exclaimed:

HECK MAN PLANS
 TO SURPRISE FANS
MOBILE PITCHER, WHO IS COACH ING MARION, BEGAN HIS CA REER THERE-THE SCHEDULE IS PUBLISHED.

Marion, March 1S.-(Special )-The past few days of continuous rain has naturally affected the baseball practice team of Ma rion institute. Coach Hickman has 30 men on the practice line, from whom the 1909 team is to be chosen
 Hickman, the present coach, began his pitching career on the institute team in 1903, under Marion's celebrated coach, George O. Leidy. and the memory of the splendid work of that team is causing much interest in the game this year, not alone with the students, but the alumni, and citizens of Marion.
 The first practice game will be next Friday, with Selma Military institute.
 Hickman, in discussing the present prospects with The Age -Herald's repre- sentative. says: Its the fastest infield in years. though the batting is not what I would wish'
 The seasons schedule so far includes some strong teams, notably Howard col lege in Birmingham on April s, and 10. Before the Baptists worked their way into larger company in athletics the Marion boys took special pride in giving them the small end of the score, therefore the coming series will be of general interest.
 Mississippi college will be In Marion April 12, 13 and 14. while two series are scheduled with the Southern university of Greensboro on April 19,, 20 and 21, and B, 29 and 30.

HOWARD OUTLOOK
 IS VERY ROSEATE

The Howard college boys are very. anx- ious to get revenge on Alabama and Au- burn for the football defeats of last fall Consequently they are looking forward to their games with these institutions with no little anticipation of victory.
 The fight for places on the team this spring has been a hard one and much trouble has been experienced in picking the lineup. In fact, it is not yet com plete, as the entire pitching staff and a third outfielder are yet to be chosen. The team as it now stands is as follows: Catcher, Holcomb; first baseman, Hud- nall second baseman Denney; third base man, Burns; shortstop, Roberts; outfeld- CTS, Watson, Giles and another to be picked from the following: Jette, Routon, Haggard, Longshore, Bell, Hughes and Yerby.

Then he is tenderiy led back to his stall and left until dinner time.
 At noon his food consists of large quan- titles of milk and cream carefully mixed and a small bundle of English hay, but partly because the horse through age has lost most of his grinders, most Of tho hay remains uneaten. In fact, Prince now sniffs at any diet so commonplace.
 During the afternoon if the sun is shin ing, Moriarity again leads the horse care fully around the drive of the estate Ire ouently six times, but he ayers that SIX are usually too many for the 'critter and that five Is about enough.
 At "tea time" Prince gets another ra- ton of mixed cereals and milk with an added portion of fine feed mixed with little ground wheat.
 Then he is bedded down for the night Only the softest straw in large quan- titles Is used for this purpose. and in ad- dition. the old horse is tenderly blanketed even about his fore shoulders and neck. To the old coachman the existence of his equine protege has already become the ail-important object of existence.
 The will of Mrs. Snow, with It's odd be- quest, has become the subject of much discussion.
 In addition to the legacy for her horses, $100o0 was also left for the care of her 30 dogs, now all dead. the stipend for their care to be paid to Miss Phila O. Mnler of Orange, Mass. By the death of all the caalines this money now goes to Miss Miller. II

Paris, March 13.-Ferdinand Ravenez. a wealthy young Parisian, committed sui- eide at Monte Carlo last night under sensational circumstances. He gave supper to a number of friends, after which the pleasure was fast and furious. Several times during the evening Ravenez cried:
 "This is nothing; big surprise isawait- ing you at the end"
 At dawn, when the party were sepa- rating, Ravenez shouted: For the great surprise!' At the same time he arose abruptly and walked toward the gypsy orchestra, which was playing a Hungarian rhapsody. His friends, expecting a prac- tical joke watched him expectantly They were stupefied to see him suddenly place A pistol to his temple and fire.

THIS HORSE LIVES MOST LUXUR|OUSLY Fortune Left to Equine Pet By
 Boston Woman TREATED LIKE A PRINCE So Long as the Horse Lives the Coach man Gets $500 Year-cut to
 $500 When the Last Horse
 Is Dead.
TREATED LIKE A PRINCE
From the Boston Post.

From the Boston Post.
 An old bay horse, a wealthy and ec- centric Boston woman and an odd legacy probated last week have just made James Moriarity, a coachmin, the leading figure in one of the queerest situations ever cre- ated by woman's will.
 A lifelong lover of dumb animals, Miss Mary B. Duclos Snow, who recently died in Hartford. Conn.,, left sS2,5oo to be paid in annual stipends "the sliding scale to her "faithful'' coachman, James Mori- arity, for the care of her pet horses.
 At the time when the will was made. nine years ago, five horses, each men, toned by name in the legacy were alive and the will provided that upon Mrs. Shows death Moriarity should be paid a compensation of 5000 per year from the trust fund so long as any three of the horses remained alive, and that after the death of four of the horses he should receive $15O0 annually ur:til the demise of the last horse. When the last horse died the coachman was to be paid $500 per year out of the fund until his death.
 Previous to the death of Mrs. Snow all except one of the equine pets passed away, and now, to continue the earthly existence of Prince an olr bay steed 2S years of age, decrepit, infirm and long ing to give up the ghost has become the burning ambition of the old coachman.
 If Prince dies Moriarity's annual in come will at once be cut to $500 per year As long as the horse can be coddled into continuing his existence he will draw $500 by the terms of the legacy.
 Today, housed In luxurious box stall swaddled in blankets and pampered as probably no old equine was over before Prince Is an object of unparalleled in- terest and solicitation to his old care taker.
 Drive the Prince! Moriarity would as soon think of becoming a tory. Each morning, after a carefully prepared meal of lukewarm cereal prepared with cream and served in a dish, the horse is care fully assisted from his padded box stall to the barn floor, where Morisrty places his ward before the glass doors to allow the sunlight to relnvigorate the frame of the old steed.
 If the day Is exceptionally warm Prince is taken for a short walk around the yard of the Snow estate.
 If the coachman deems the weather too severe. Prince is merely allowed to thrust his nose through an opening in the win dow of the barn and refresh his lungs with the fresh air for a few minutes.

Climbers Practice,

Montgomery, March 13.-Manager Grem- finger took his six Climbers out for their first practice of the season today. They padded about time in the rain and mud and seemed to enjoy the fun. Guese, DeBald, Lively and Kerwin, pitchers, found that they had pretty good arms for so soon in. the race, and came out with enough perspration to loosen up the joints. Persons found that he could get them over from left, while Rockenfleld at second and Big Ed at third acted as if there had been no winter time. A few brave fans enjoyed the working out.

 "I have heard nothing from Henline since his demands were rejected, and while believe that he will report eventu- ally, his coming late might put us to a disadvantage.
 Gardner is coming, as is known, and I am going after a new outfielder. l re- ceived proposition yesterday, and, if on investigation, the man in question pans out 1 will probably get him.

He fell dead. The only reason for this act is described as "sheer boredom" Ravenez was only 20 years old and had been familiar figure on the Paris boule- wards where his liking for vivid clothing attracted attention. Three years ago he figured in a sensational duel. He chal- lenged a professional swordsman. as a re- suit of a cafe quarrel, but the swordsman refused to fight on the ground that Ray enez had not yet reached his majority. Undanted, Ravenez issued a challenge dated the day he was IS years of age, and he devoted the intervening time to rigorous training. When he finally did meet his adversary on the field the con test was of the fiercest character, and 1t ended by Ravenez plunging his sword eight inches Into his opponents body.
