Performances in Field Trials by Such Dogs as Rena Whitestone and Tonapaugh Tell of a
 Revival of Interest in Dogs Here.

The youngster was only whelped on the 12th of last March and is hardly a year old. He was sired by Aycock's Count Gladstone out of Della Flight. He ought to be classy enough to star. in the derbys from Manitoba on down the line this season unless Mfr, Nelson prefers to keep him as a shooting dog

 "'This talk about my quitting base ball is all rot I shall be with the Cubs next season, and so will Manager Chance and all the rest of the bunch from Chicago to the effect that Joe Tinker was kicking over the traces and did not want to play with the Cubs this season. He replied with smile
 Somebody has been kidding the public. Why I have letter. in my in which he says that he hopes I will report for early spring practice. as he feels that he cannot work as well with anybody else covering second.
 "I also had letter from Manager Chance last week. In which he told me ange farm in California for $S6s000. Chance has lost his roll on the po- n1es,'' I see by one of the papers. I'd bet every cent have in the world that Chance didn't drop. a nickle on the ing. bookmaking stunts, why that's, all bosh.' o "
 "Evers continued: You know we Cubs keep in touch with each other during the off season. don't believe where the fellows pull so well togeth- CT; as for harmony-why that's our first name. have received letters from every member of our club. Am not boosting when say that as long as we have the present bunch together isn't. team on earth that can lick us.'"

When the special in The Advertiser was read yesterday morning with the news that sRena Whitestone had cop ped the derby at Grand Junction. Mont gomerys dog followers were jubilant. Rena Whitestone Is a youngster that made her initial bow to~ the public Thursday. She had never been heard of before. She looked so good that Charlie Tway of Union Springs and Billy Graves of this city bought her just before her brace was to start in the Derby Thursday.
 That the young lady has a. lot of class about her Is proven by her de- feating such dogs as Old Forester, the te-black and tan setter dog by Count Whitestone-Harter's Cleopatra and Fishells Honest Scrap the pointer dog by Fishelrs Frank Affords Babe. these two running second and third respectively Thursday.
 Alabama dogs and Alabama hand lers have had a big run of luck in the last few weeks.

He also got third place In the Subscription stakes at Cotton Plant with Gilt Edge, white and black pointer dog by Hard Cash Kings Sis

Field and Functions of Press
 Agent Are GrotOing EUery Da,

That this Is an age of advertising is shown by the manner in which press agents in every line of business get busy. Nothing that has to depend on the public for patronage can live with out the biggest kind of boosting. This applies to baseball and every other class of sports. and Charlie Murphy, owner of the Cubs. is the greatest be- Iiever in this.
 That persistent press agent work has been a paying thing for him Is shown by the wonderful success that he has had with his ball club. The New York Club of the National League Is anoth- CT instance. Murphy started that, however, when he was press agent of the Giants and he was the first man that brought Christy Mathewson into prominence.
 The best exponent of that stunt in Dixie Is Tom Mccullough. the Secre- tary of the Memphis club. He does more advertising and press agent work than all of the other seven clubs of this league combined. and the result IS that it is a very poor season that the Egyptians don't make money. A pret- ty smooth press agent Is steering Jim Jeffries. About month ago when the agitation was first started in regard to a meeting with Johnson he began

LOOKED ON AS CAMPAIGN FOR SALARY RAISES. Johnny Evers Repudiates Ramor That He Was Going to Retire
 Also Tinker VIII
 Play On.

The ~bluff that several ball players have been putting up about quitting the game this season is now being called fast. The game of these ball players of course was to try and force larger salaries to be paid them during the coming season.
 Down here in the Southern there has been a bit of a ripple at times when some of the ball tossers wanted more coin, but on the whole the situation in Dixie-and in Montgomery. especially
 Fielder Jones, leader of the White sox, is still standing on his statement that he will not play ball this year. Mir. Jones has secured one of the lat est improved extension ladders and gone way up to a limit of 10000. Now if Mir. Comiskey Is going to have any trouble about getting a manager we want to state that there are sev- sral people right here in Montgomery who win take the job for less than S30,000. The storm belt Tn regard to tn ese quitting players 1t seems has ragged about the two Chicago Clubs Cubs and White Sox--and among the men whose press agents have scattered the fact broadcast that they were done with the game are Evers. Tinker and Frank Chance of the Cubs.
 The other day a Washington paper had the following from Evers. which knocks the bottom. out of all the sto- ries that have been printed for the past few months:

Another letter has come from Ben Rennick in regard to, his stallion Ward. MT. Rennick Is laboring under a misapprehension when he tries to roasted" Ward. On the contrary the following item was in The Advertiser of February. 1908:
 Down in Selma is trotter that Is possibly the best ever sent out of Ala bama. The horse is the property of Ben Rennick and is going to be heard from" ... ment in The Advertiser Ward won a 2:1I trot in straight heats of 2:10 Ii; 2:io i-4; 2:1O 1-2. We were of the opinion that Ward came from Indian apoiis, Ind. but If Mir. Rennick says that he was bred here in Alabama we were evidently mistaken.
 Mir. Rennick also tries to show that from the time made the races in Mont- gomery were better than the ones In Nashville. He overlooks the fact that big fields of horses and close hnlshes make a race more interesting than probably would be the case 1T rewer made He will not deny the fact that most of the horses were scratched ana were never shipped to Montgomery in nurses had been slashed all to pieces by the local association.
 The question now is where is Pug Bennett 'at' and Shat Is he going to do. Newt Fisher gave out a statement some days ago in an Augusta. paper that he has signed Bennett for tke coming season with his South Atlantic souad. Montgomery fans will remem . her when Bennett was with Newt in Nashville and he was about as fast as they make 'em.
 The following from a Philadelphia paper Is a bit confusing:

 These conditions continued until the arrival of troops from Irkutsk, wheB arder was partially restored.
