BASKETBALL

aN
 The number of society folk noted at yesterday's ball game and again at last nights basketball at the Athletic club speaks eloQucntly for the love of sport in Birmingham Almost every member of the younger set was in attendance at one or the other, and many enjoyed both con tests.
 The basketball game between the two local teams was the inspiration of one of the most pleasant events of Lent. Not only was the game witnessed with keen interest, but the german and hop which followed were features of more than usual enjoyment. The sponsors and maids were a charming group. They included for the Athletic club Miss Mary George Cruik- shank as sponsor and Miss Kathleen Nixon and Miss Martha Dabney as maids. The Young Mems Christian association chose Miss Emily somerville as sponsor with Miss Gamaliel Dixon and Miss Eliz- abeth Going for maids.

bound by that judgment, and 1T has not gone
rainbow chasing nor suffered side issues to
distract or confuse.
The result of the vote in San Francisco
confirms the wisdom of this course There
was. confident expectation in the democratic
camp that this city would give great
plurality to Mr. Bell, but in the result he is
defeated in his stronghold. In Los Angeles,
on the other hand the champions of the pro-
gressive cause suffered themselves to be dis
tracted by a boiling movement on local office,
with resulting creation of angry anlmos1tieS
of which the reactionary forces took the fullest
advantage The count of votes In Los Angeles
tells the tale, showing material republican
losses It does not affect the general result,
but if the democratic expectations in San
Francisco had been fulfilled the outcome In
Los Angeles might have been disastrous More
than any other community Los Angeles was
relied upon as the invincible fortress Of the
cause, but that city fell down. 1t will be all
right another time This was merely a
moment of weakness, temporary alteration.

triumphant leader in California, and to which

THIS FISH YARN
IS NOT so BAD

A LTHOUGH it is late in the season
~ for fish stories local railroadmen
have not given up the attempt to
beat the fish story told during the sum-
mer by H. X. Gregory, assistant gen
eral passenger agent of the Santa Fe
William F. Schmidt. general western
agent for the Missouri Pacific, who
returned Monday from Los Angeles.
where he had been with Richard Boas
foreign freight agent for that road and
other Gould lines, brought home a fish
story-a bsolutely true in every detail.
1t all happened at Catalina island
Schmidt, Boas. a friend and the owner
OF the launch went about six miles out
OF Avalon to catch big fish. Boas re-
fused to believe the stories of big fish
told to him by Schmidt and he would
not cast a line until he had seen
Schmidt and the other guest haul in
something. 1t was only few minutes
when Schmidt hooked big one. and
after playing it about 10 minutes
brought it close to the side of the
launch in order to use the gaff
Just at this stage of the excitement
and there was much excitement in
the launch-a huge shark went tearing
through the water, and before the gaff
could be used half of the fish disap-
peared in the jaws of the man eater.
The remainder of the fish was hauled
into the launch and used as bait. It
was excellent bait-particularly for
sharks-for in a few minutes Schmidt
had a shark on the end of his line
The shark fought for several minutes
before 1t succeeded in breaking
Schmidt's line and gaining its freedom.
When the party returned to Avalon
they were invited to go several miles
across the island and shoot mountain
goats. All We're willing with the eX-
ception Of Boas, who had an engage
ment in Los Angeles and who could not
become enthusiastic. because, as he
expressed it:
Even if J. should shoot one of these
mountain goats an elephant would
probably come up from behind and bite
it In two

Johnson is a human locomotive of tre-
mendous driving power, with the physique
to withstand the strain of continuous effort at
high tension. In many respects he resembles
Roosevelt, although he is less of the politician.

surely create enemies, but these mistakes are
honest and these enemies are food for salts
