put up a hard fight to pre-

There is no good reason why
the people should do otherwise.
Gov. Wesley is now serving his
first term and is doing what he
can to give the state an honest
administration. There are no
machince methods about it
simply recognition of the old
rule-"one good term deserves
another" If Gov. Vessey was

 The bat that he is gettinga ready to swing is hbout as big as he Ia but Ty Cobb or Ed Gremipger could mt be more at home with the stick than this Kid. .r..
 From on the lots and out of the ranks of just such youngsters as Mas sey and scores of other boys here in Montgomery. have been developed some of the greatest professional ball play CTS in the game today. There is DOS sibly more amateur talent among the young America of Montgomery than in any city in Dixie and 1t would be revelation to watch the work of some of these amateur teams.
 This Is going 10 be possibly the greatest baseball season ever. known in Montgomery and Alabama--for in the towns around the State the small boys and larger amateurs are just as enthusiastic as they are in Montgom- cry. The Sporting Editor of The Ad- vertiser will be only too glad to give space to all amateur ball games play ed in Montgomery or any other part of the State If written distinctly as fol- lows:-

 Score of all local games must be handed in by 6:30 D. m. at the latest and out of town games should be sent to the office as soon after the game Is played as possible.

CLIMBERS
 ARE AT WORK Ed Greminger to Stand
 Pat. SATISFIED WITH HIS BUNCH No New Men VIII Be Signed by = Locals. krebs Blew In Yesterday and Eleven Men Are Now on the Scene, More Being Expected With
 Each Train's Arrival.

The camp of the Climbers was ex- banded to eleven men, when Krebs came up from Mississippi yesterday morning, and in the afternoon rne afternoons practice was had. The outrield and infieid Greminger is talk ing no chances and 10 avoid the risk Of lame wings. won't have any throw ing or pitching done until the sun warns things up a bit more, which should, be the case today.
 The grounds are as dry now as if rain had never fallen on them and yesterday Road Secretary Stickney be- gan the work of repairing the parts of the infield that the hard rains had damageNa little. Before the terrific rains ethe infieh was in magnificent shape and with little work In the next day or so, it will be in as good diamond Is as green and fresh looking as possible. and thanks to the good drainage system, was not hurt in the slightest. The intield territory is last year, last year in the skinned part of the inield there was only ten feet from the shortstops territory to the grass outfield. This season twenty back of the shortstop to the outfeId. giving Pope thirty feet more space, ,n Which to cover ground.
 telegram from. Phil Gier an- hooaScs tut ldCt Gidt He nus DetH bought by another club-this settles the matter as far as Montgomery Is concerned. The only possible way Tn which Gier could have been used here was as a utility man, as Greminger now has probably the best outfield in the South. letter from Connie Mack says that he has disposed of the out fielder that he thought of turning over to Montgomery and the outfeld propo- sition is settled with the possible ex- ceptfon Of one new pitcher
 It is probable that Greminger will stand pat on the nineteen men that he has, four outfelders. four infie1d- CTS. eight pitchers and three catchers. The bunch looks pretty good and as local fans know what the old men on the 1908 Climbers are, Montgomery will have a team that will make 'em all go some. if the new men show up in the form that is expected of them. Billy Crystal has been given his re- lease and is now a free agent to do business for himself
 President Chambers has received a letter from Bill Kay, the hard-hitting outhelder that refused to come to Montgomery last year. in which he says that he is not going to play ball this summer. This may be a stall. but MT Chambers says that he is not ex- actly certain that Kay Is the property of the Montgomery Club now. So all this means that there will hardly be any more signing this spring. unless a good man Is in sight for Greminger is not overlooking his hand and is out for the best team that can be got to- gether in the South.

 r Marion, March 16.-(Speciai )-The senior song recital of Miss Mary Louise Patrick. assisted by Mss Della Hud- mon, of Opelika, was given in Judson auditorium Monday evening.
 The program, consisting of fourteen songs, representing the best of the classic and present day composers. was a most pleasing and artistic one.
 A duet from Der Freischutz' sung by Miss Patrick and her teacher. Mrs. Gurganus. opened the program and set a standard of excellence which was maintained throughout the evening, Eye Hath Not Seen" from '"rhe Holy City was sung with a breadth and dignity scarcely to be expected from a singer so young. most effectively sun& were oreig's "Der Prinzessin." Schumanns "The To- tus Flower" and the Aria from Der Freischutz" The last named song Is calculated to test the voice and inter- pretative powers of any singer. In this, as in all her singing, Miss Patrick showed an appreciation of the spirit of the work at once rational, genuine and artistic.
 TOO mucn cannot De saIQ m pr&iSe of the artistic rendering of "A Love Note" by Rogers and the Song of My Love- by D'Hardelot. The little EWoodman songs were gems and the closing number, "The Serenader." by Eversole showed most excellent color latura work.
 Miss Patrick's voice Is a lyric so- prano of good range and quality. One Iof its most pleasing characteristics is { lfhe fiute-like quality of the upper reg lister. Excellent breath control, great Evocal fiexibility and volume of tone ,enable her to execute the lyric and fiortd style with equally good effect.
 Miss Hndmon contributed two re- markedly fine numbers to the program She combines great strength and del I icacy of touch and her tone work is most marked. She gives promise of making a musician of great ability.
