| Extending 0untYy Club GOlf Curse 10 He Chambionship Requirements

Work will be begun today on extending the nine-hole golf course at the Country club.
 Preliminary blasting was done yester- day. The course leads through young forest and considerable work is in order
 The first extension will be by one hole, in other words, the present course of nine holes will become a course of ten.
 The work of extension. however, will be continued until the course has the IS holes that championship courses possess.
 Birmingham is a great center for golf CTS, players who have taken rank with the best in the Southern Golf association. The local players are enthusiastic, and there is nothing that will prevent them having as fine a course as there is in the south.
 Those on the inside believe that the Birmingham club is working with the ob- ject in view of landing the championship tournament in 1911. The tournament this year, as The Age-Herald has published. will be held In Memphis in May. Atlanta is the strongest bidder for the 1910 tourna- ment. It has long been the understanding that Birmingham can have champion ship meet when it requests the honor. The local golfers will not ask for the associations championship tournament until it can entertain the delegates as well and as easily as other cities have entertained them.
 It is estimated that an expenditure of $1o,0o0 will be necessary for the extension of the nine-hole course to one of IS.

"on TrlaI for His Life..

A week of much excitement at the Bijou theatre was begun last night when owen Davis latest melodrama. "on Trial for His Life" began weeks engagement There will be the usual matinees, but the house will be dark on Good Friday, in accordance with Jake Wells established rule. "On Trial for His Life" is built for the benefit of people who like, in common parlance, to get a run for their money. It Is designed as an aid to, the digestion and a hair raiser. That the play is successful melodrama, the gallery will bear witness and the fact that it was very well received in all parts of the house last night proves an oft-stated theory that there is a place and de- mand for melodrama The piece has a military atmosphere which always lends interest and color to melodramas and Is very well staged. The action, as is usual with all the Owen Davis plays, is of the rapid-fire order and at times sensational, but there is also vein of comedy. Taken all in all, the play offers much that will please melo- drama patrons. .t4
 The opening scene in the first act shows the camp of the Twenty second infantry, U. s. A, on the Mexican bor- der.

The bill at the Majestic this week is varied assortment of vaudeville acts Is which good music figures prominently and every offering is one of high class, noticeably devoid of the slapstick comedy which is so often allowed to drift into acts that would be far superior with out it.
 The hit of last nights performance was an extra number which Manager Gould secured from the Orpheum circuit for the present week. The attraction is Grace Levers and Dolly Mitchell In a singing, dancing and comedy act, which is superior to any sister act that has appeared in Birmingham in several seasons. One of the entertainers has 8 voice of great merit and the other is a. thorough comedian The act was ex- ceptionally well received.

The act by reason of the plot is plainly set, which fact calls for great CT merit on the part of the actors. The sketch is very entertaining and the dra- matic ability of both of the actors is marked.

Tomorrow. one week. the real show is opened.
 Tonight one week. the Barons take train to Atlanta The following after noon begins another season in Dixie s major.
 That it may be as exciting as that last year is the wish of everyone having the interest of the league at heart, and that it may be considerably more ex- citing in Birmingham is the hope of local fans
 There is still considerable doubt as con- cerns the Barons.
 No one around the circuit believes them strong. However Manager Molesworth stated yesterday afternoon that he was pleased.
 The team as a whole is exceedingly fast There is not man in the bunch who cannot occasionally pilfer base. The team will be a medium hitting ma chine. Its fielding will be good. The players are young and ambitious and are certain to give the management their best services
 There is enough in this paragraph to cause one to take notice.
 In Kane and Raub, Manager Moles- worth has two good catchers. There Is no need to worry concerning the back stopping department.
 Gygli is certainly the most promising youngster who has broken into the Southern league in a number of years.
 Bowen Is fielding splendidly, and has demonstrated on several occasions that he knows the game from the outside and the inside.
 Morris according to present indications will play short There is no doubt that he will rank among the best. He led the South Atlantic last season in fielding his position, and did splendid work on the defensive for the St. Louis Nationals His hitting is comparatively light, but if reports are true, he hits tlmely-when pinehes arrive.

 Veasey Is small of statute, and appears exceedingly young. He shot a few through yesterday, however. that had whiskers. Manager Molesworth will look him over carefully.
 The only other Baron for whom Moles- worth is looking is Walter Morris. short stop. Morris when last heard from was in San Antonio Tex. Molesworth wired him several days ago to report at once. He Is expected today.

Good looking girls and funny come dians make the Casino Girls bur- lesque go with hum. The dance num- bers are lively and two audiences made the Gayety echo with applause yester- day afternoon and last night.
 The show is a good one and the fact that the burlesque season will last but two weeks longer, and there is a pos sibility of Birmingham being cut off the circuit next season, should serve to pack this cosy house at every per- formance during the balance of the season.
 There are several good vaudeville acts in the olio, while the two burlettas are funny enough to keep the house in an uproar. Theo Murphy. Tom Nolan Sam Burns, George McCone, Will yidoco, Tom McRae, Edward Oliver, Blanche Curtis, Cora White and Lillian Washburn form a cast of exceptional burlesque strength, while the chorus is in keeping with the cast.

Barons Are Off To Tuscaloosa
DRUID CITY TRIP

The Barons, eleven strong, will go to Tuscaloosa this morning and this after noon will engage in battle the strong col lege team of the University of Alabama.
 The Barons to make the trip are Moles- worth, Henline and McGilvray, outfielders; Gygli, Bowen, Ellam and Raftls, infield- CTS; Kane and Johkers, catehers; Fle- harty and Ford pitchers.
 The other Barons will work out in the morning and afternoon at West End. To- morrow the old routine of practice work will be taken up again.
 It is probable that there will be a nice little game in Tuscaloosa this afternoon. The Alabama squad Is not near so strong as in other years, but will be able to make the game interesting. It will not be a slaughter, at any rate.
 pr. Pollard will probably commission Tucker, considered his best twirler, to open the battle for the university lads. Vaughn, a Birmingham boy, will receive him. Snedecor, on first Is considered a valuable player. Danny Waite at short, Is classy little infelder, and Captain Pratt, the third saclser, is strong enough to move in faster company. Cowan is a very capable man at second.
 The outfleld Is made up of Birmingham boys-Mudd, Griffiths and White.
 Last season the Barons visited Tusca- loosa and won fame from the boys by a score of to 0.
 It is remembered that McNeal pitched the first part of the game for Birming- ham, and his big frame and great speed had the college men high up in the air. Ginger" Clark concluded the battle, and when the only hope of a score for Tusca- loosa came, when Pratt and Reidy were on first and second with one out, the erst- while Baron famed two in succession after the runners had successfully worked a double steel
 One cannot remember the game last spring without having in mind the begin ming of the downfall of Fred Houtz.
