Richardson Caught Again
He Violated His Promise About Garry.
inq Off His Little Girls.

A correspondent al Walhalla, writ
ing about the arrest OF s. L. Richard
son in Ohio, says:
Richardson has signified his will
lingness to be brought back without
requisition papers, but the sheriff will
nevertheless go armed with a requisi-
ton, as he fears Richardson might
change his mind as easily as he
changed his name before reaching the
Buckeye state. It is understood that
there will be several warrants await
ing him on his arrival.
It will be remembered that Richard
son was recently released from the
Lexington Jail without trial or nu-
merous charges of forgery against
him, his father and brother having ar:
ranged for his release by paying out
various sums aggregatsng in the neigh
borhood Of $4,000. Richardson was
scheduled to leave South Carolina, go
west and begin over again in the hon
est avocation OF farming, his oldets
girls to be left in the custody Of his
father, who furnished him, it is said,
with funds to start life in Oklahoma
or Texas. Richardson, however, Slip
ped into his home in West Union, got
the two girls and made his way to
Ohio. Although travelling under an
assumed name, he was easily caught.
as it was known that he was travelling
with his two children, one of whom is
a cripple. 1t is possible that Richard
son may remain in Ohio until after
court here next week as the sheriff
intends going for him in person, and
his time may be required during the
session of court, the sheriff being an
important witness in the Palmer MUIR
der case.

Apparently it was not loaded but when

tering her brains about the room.
The young woman was seized with

PRAISES ATHLETIC CLUB

Field Secretary Hammer of the New York Playground association, who has done extensive work in the organization , of leagues among the boys of the coun- try. spent yesterday in Birmingham.
 At the Birmingham Athletic club yes- terday afternoon MT. Hammer talked to the members of the recently organized Playground and Athletic league, of which Truman Thomas is president and last night was entertained with a banquet at the Y. M. C. A.
 MT. Hammer was attentively listened to by about 200 young boys at the Athletic club yesterday afternoon. His talk was along the general lines of the value of athletics.
 After the talk he praised the club and it's policy. T have never in my entire career" stated he, encountered a club ex- actly like the one you have here. It is excellent that provision is made where by young boys can hold membership, and it is a splendid commentary that mothers are willing for the boys to be members and make the club their head quarters.
 The idea of s-orming the Playground and Athletic league, which l have learned is composed of about 700 school boys of the city, cannot be commended too high ly Affairs In Birmingham, in Ln athletic sense, are excellent"
 MT. Hammer made a splendid talk at the Y. NJ. c. A. last night, where he was entertained at a banquet Several of the prominent men of Birmingham, attending the banquet made short addresses, too, among the number being Col T. G. Bush, R. S. Munger, w D. Nesbitt, w. w. Silk, J. D. Williams, T. H. Young and W. E. Cosby Truman Thomas, the young president of the Playground and Athletic league, also spoke.
 After the meeting MT. Hammer left for Shreveport. From Shreveport he visits the cities of Texas and returns to New Orleans. From New Orleans he goes again to New York, his home.
 Installing the principles of athletics" stated MT. Hammer, into the minds of the boys of the country, is exceedingly popular. Everywhere the boys are or ganzed or are being organized. The spirit of clean and honest rivalry is spreading at rapid clip, and just what this means for the future man of America, as a specimen of health and strength. can be easily imagined''

MERIDIAN MUST
 PUT UP OR QUIT

Meridian Miss, February 10.-(Special.) ) President Allan McCants of the Meridian Athletic association this afternoon re- ceived a telegram from Phil S. Merrill, president of the Cotton States league. which in effect was an ultimatum to Meridian to either do business or drop out of the league President McCants said tonight that he and his colleagues had been at work to bring things to a focus, but had not found themselves in position to make a definite report
 Tonight President Floyd of the board of trade issued a call through Secretary Moore for mass meeting at the board of trade rooms tomorrow night, and it will be finally decided whether Meridian will put up t.4e money for professional ball this season. Circular letters were hastily prepared this evening and mailed to all fans in the city asking them to be at the meeting tomorrow night prepared to subscribe liberally to the associations support.
