Nominated for Annapolis Naval
Academy.


Congressman Fordney has nominated
j. Henry Sprague, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
o. l.. Sprague, for the cadetship exami-
nation at the U. s. Naval Academy at
Annapolis. This appointment was
rendered Henry year ago and declined.
Mr.. Fordney soon after nominated a
principal and three alternates for the
examination which took place in April
last. At that time the principal failed
to appear and none of the alternates
were notified in time and later on each
one declined to accept for the June ex-
animation because Of lack of time to
prepare for the rigid entrance examin-
alton. At the last moment the appoint
ment was again offered to Mr.. Sprague
and he accepted, the papers going
through the red tape process too slowly
to reach him in time for the June ex-
animation, thus leaving vacancy un-
til next year, which under the law the
Secretary of the navy might have filled
by naming cadet from any part of the
country. 1t is believed Mr. Sprague
will be able to successfully pass the en-
trance examination, as he has main
tanned very high standing in his stud
les in the high school and with ample
time to prepare he will undoubtedly
give good account of himself Henry
is to be congratulated on his good for
tune and Cong. t'ordney on his selection.

I purchased Hermts for Mir. Zeigler for S3,00O, and a good many horsemen believed this was too much to pay for the colt. MT. Zeigler sold him to Louis V. Bell for S15,0 and most of the wise turfmen thought this was a terrifically. high price. Mir. Bell, however, sold Herniis to E. R. Thomas for $60,0OO and while Mir Thomas owned him he won $70.O00 in stakes anu purses on the Eastern race tracks.
 MT. Zeigler, however. got Hermis back At the sheriffs sale of the E. IR. Thomas horses, etc, purchased the great campaigner for the paltry sum of $500, everything being sold at a terrible sacrifice. I think Hermis will do well in the stud because he has some, nice colts already. The firm of Joseph Healy. IT,, and Go. has a yearling, passed on by the best judges as the finest ever seen, by Hermis, out of Sekanet. There was a great deal of talk last season about this colt. par ticularly by horsemen visiting the farm in New Jersey last summer. He Is said to be a grand specimen of the thor oughbred racehorse. Mr. Murphy, the millionaire Standard oil man, owns the mare Every one that has seen colts by Hermis say they are all good, classy looking colts and not a mean looking one among them.

The Vanderbilt University basket ball team will play the quintette Of the local association Friday night In the Montgomery gymnasium. The local team had 8 stiff practice last night, in preparation for the contest and expect to make things rather warm for the colleRians.
 Vanderbilt shines among the foot hall teams of the country having been in the limeliRht ever since defeating the Carlisle.

 This fight tonight will be followed by another one that promises to be good one. Freddie Welch will meet Young, Corbett. before the Westside Athletic Ckuh in New Orleans on the 2Oth' of this month in twenty-five round catch weight battle. Welch is the only man that has been able to beat AttelI in the last four years. when the featherweight champion has met such men as Walsh Battling Nelson. etc. Corbett is not the man he was, when he knocked Terry McGovern out at Frisco in 1903.

Here's the shot:
 "For the simple reason that Mont gomery figured she couldn't win from W. A. c. here, the Alabama delega tion decided the trip was useless, and so awarded the contest to the local club
 without a battle.
 "The Montgomery manager may figure that this move Is well within Iup-to-date sporting limits, but we can't see it that way. Granted that N. A. c. would probably win--and the odds were certainly in her favor, as Manager Gosneli's team seems to have 1t on them all in Dixie this Beason--we fail to see why a rival team has it coming to decide stuff like this in advance as long as 1t lays claim to even ia few drops of sporting blood for its system
