questions to be settled before the team
finally goes to Alabama. We chal-
lenged the Birmingham team before

for Birmingham, first, last and all the

GREATER FIELD MEET.

Those who had charge of the
field meet in Birmingham last
week are planning for greater
things next year.
While the meet this season was
successful in a way. everyone real
/, lies that it was not perfect by a
jugful.
Everyone admits that it is RI
diculous for a college team to com
pete against a club team when the
college team cannot use its full
; strength.
The plan fer next year, which
is pronounced a ine oae, is to have
three-day meet Of Held events
one for the grammar school boys,
another for the clubs OF the south,
and still another FOR the colleges.
If the NEST next year as plan
ned materiaiizes, and is success
full. Birmingham will thereafter
become the center of field sport
in the south, even as New Or
leans is today.

game issued at the instance of the Central
Park Methodist Episcopal church, May
25 1907, shall stand.
Referring to the new law recently en-
acted by the legislature, which permits
baseball playing in a quiet and orderly
manner between the hours Of ] and 8

may be doubted whether it really changes
