It is unwise to make predictions of
great success when the wind is whistling
keenly, and the snow has hardly disap-
peared.
It is equally as silly to drop the lower
lip, hang the head and predict the down.
fall of the kingdom.
As everyone familiar with baseball
knows there is no manner of predicting
with a degree of certainty just what
weight any single aggregation will have
in league race or just what amount
of ice will be cut. There are experts
who figure, and who figure badly. When
the nail is hit on the head it is almost
invariably an accident
For the best men of the league have
been known to finish on the bottom. and
the youngest bud has often blossomed
into a luxurious flower.
Manager Wordsworth has made SIREN
uous efforts to select a team which will
represent Birmingham with credit He
believes he has succeeded. Wordsworth
has long been in the Southern league,
and if any man knows, he certainly is
aware of just how fast a team in this
company must go to finish well. He states
that he wants one more pitcher, and
that when he gets him, he will be sat
isfied He even declares that he cannot
see where any other manager has him
bested
If conditions are normal Manager Moles-
worth's prediction will probably pan out
But if internal dlssension develops. if
several men become fired with ambition
to step into the leaders shoes, if GER
tain members of the team become dis
satisfied, hope has blushed for disappoint-
ment and failure is obvious.
The season has started propitiously
There has been healthy absence of the
usual complaint that the climate is bad
No man has held out for more salary
No man has entered vigorous kicks of any
nature. AS has been published, the con-
tracts have been returned with sigma
lures with a pleasant regularity and
Wordsworth is having less trouble in this
respect than any other manager about
the circuit.
The support of the press and the fans
has much to do with the success of a
team, more so, no doubt, than any other
agencies No man reaches that age or
becomes so callous to praise that a pat
ON the back does not please and inspire
to renewed effort. In Birmingham there
is an absence of the spirit that causes
every man to take hold and pull together
with one long and healthful pull Every
person seems imbued with the idea of
standing apart let the ship take care of
itself. and many, it is believed would
heartily rejoice IL another season as dis
astrous as the last should descend. This
man, perhaps, doesn't like Wordsworth,
and for that reason withholds a word
of encouragement. This man, perhaps,
doesn't like the association. and for that
reason, would destroy. But when it is
remembered that in a baseball season

The Stomach
OF The Child
Is the Organ All Parents Should Pro-
tect and Keep Normal.

The stomach of a child is the organ
above all others upon which the future
of a child depends. Bodily development
is fast in children, and the noursh-
ment necessary to meet such develop
ment is the one essential demanded from
a parent Most mothers and fathers
jealously guard child from the forma-
ton of bad habits, yet in this age our
children early become the vlcrims of
wrong food, over eating and Irregular
meals.
1t is most appalling to know the effect
of stomach troubles among our children.
Most children who are nervous, ilri-
table and cross, who dream, sleep rest
lessly, who tire easily and nave 10 de-
sire for child exercise, generally have
stomach trouble, indigestion and dys-
pepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are interd-
ed to thoroughly digest food and t. place
the system in shape to obtain all the
nourishment it needs from such food
These tablets mix with the juices of the
system, enriching them and giving to the
body the ingredients necessary 10 build
up the rapidly forming brain and body
of the young.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets should be
given to children after each meal ana at
bedtime. They are. made from odrc veg
etable and fruit essences and contain 40
harmful chemicals whatever. The uSe of
these tablets will give greater vim to a
child in its school work or at is play.
They will produce appetite and soo;he
nerves. destroy abnormal cravings and
will allay the bad effects of sweets and
such improper foods as most children en-
Joy and will eat no matter what is done
to prevent it.
1t is due the child that his stomach be
protected by the parent, and if Stlart s
Dyspepsia Tablets are given after, meals
the habits OF the child will not tear down
the stomach and destroy the digestive
juices nearly SC rapidly. Stuart Dys-
pepsia Tablets are given to each and
every degcee OF life. Any condition of
the stomach welcomes them, from the
strongest to the weakest For sale by

MEMPHIS TO LAND
GOLF TOURNAMENT
Louisville However Is Comics
tant and No Decision Made
M'CREARY WINS TROPHY
Slim Attendance of Directors Causes
Abandonment of Original Plans.
Knoxville and Pensacola Adj
mitted to Membership.

On account of the fact that but four of
the directors of the Southern Golf asso-
citation attended the meeting here yes
terday, the selection of the place for
holding the next championship tourna-
ment was not determined. The two can
didates are Louisville and lIemphis, ana
it is generally admitted that memphis
will receive the plum.
This matter will be left to the vote
of the directors, which vote will be taken
by mail.

before the directors in behalf of Mem
phis while D. M. Goodwin, general freight
agent of the Louisville and Nashville
spoke for Louisville.
Pensacola, Fla, and Knoxville, Tenn,
were admitted to membership in the as
sociation.
The programme for the tournament Of
the association will provide that there
shall be but 16 players participating IN
the championship match, whereas 81 were
eligible heretofore. In addition, there
shall be four flights of 16 each, not
considering the championship match.
Twelve prizes will be competed for.
On account of the slim attendance on
the part of the directors and visitors
who are not directors, the programme as
a whole was abandoned, and all visitors
and members of the local club were en-
tered into one great handicap. Those
handicapped won, Charles McCreary OF
Birmingham finishing first with Is; John
b. Knox of Admission second, with ~;
and IT. J. Watson of Birmingham third,
with SO. The first prize was a silver
cup and the second dozen glory dimple
balls.

H. f. Smith of Nashville, Treasurer L.
T. Smith of Admission, Secretary r. H..
Baugh of Birmingham and Fulton Col
Vile of Atlanta.
John B. Knox of Admission, o. M. Rey-
nolds of Admission, d. M. Goodwin of
Louisville, ]. w. S. Rhea of Memphis
and John Bell of Nashville, were among
the prominent golfers from other cities.
About 20 Birmingham representatives-pa par
ticipated in the tournament in the aft
ernoon.
The absent directors were Vice Pres-

Orleans, who was prevented from COM
b ing on account of unexpected demands
of his business; Albert A. Mallory Of
Memphis, who is ill; E. H. SPOTS of
