which every nation most needs. Turn
ing to the list Of American statesmen,
it is extraordinary to see how large a
proportion started as farm boys. But
it is rather sad to see that in recent
years most of these same boys have
ended their lives as men living in
cities.
Il hope that things will so shape
themselves that the farmer can have
great career and yet end his life as
farmer SO that the city man will look
forward to living in the country rather
than the country man to living in the
city
Farmers should learn how to com
bine effectively, as has been done in
industry. ! am particularly glad to
speak to the grange for ] heartily be-
lieve in farmers organizations, and
We should all welcome every step
taken toward an increasing co-opera-
ton among farmers. The Importance
Of such movements cannot be overes-
,mated; and through srch intelligent
Joint action it will be possible to i'm
prove the market just as much as the
farm.
COUNTRY LIES ATTRACT
IONS.
Country life should be as attrac
tive as city life, and the country PEG
pie should insist upon having their full
representation when it comes to deal
ing with all great public questions. In
other words, country folks should de
mand that they work on equal terms
with city folks in gil such matters.
They should have their share in the
memberships of commissions and coun
ellis; in short, Of all the organized
bodies for laying plans for great en-
terprises affecting all the people.
The country church should be
made true social center, alive to
every need OF the community, Standing
for broad individual outlook and de
veIopment, taking the lead in work
ard in recreation, caring more for
conduct than dogma. more for ethical
spiritual, practical betterment than for
merely formal p:ety.
The country fair offers far greater
possibilities for continuous and healthy
usefulness than il al present affords,
The country school should be made a

THE SOUTHERN LEAGUE OFFICIALS WILL PROBABLY MEET HERE AUGUST IS TO CONSIDER PROPO- sITION-OPEN PARK THAT DAY

It is now very probable that South mingham this month. probably on the morning of August IS. The purpose of the meeting will be to look into the matter of permitting Southern league teams to recall players farmed to minor leagues before August 20, the object being to have big leagues draft these men from Southern league teams at Southern league figures in- stead Of drafting them from the bush leagues at bush league figures.
 The proposition was considered when the kankakee club, to which Birming- ham had farmed Boyle and McTigue. went to pieces, owing the Birming- nam players two weeks salary. Pres 1oent Baugh, figuring that unless Bir- hiinsham paid these salaries, the men would go free, petitioned Judge kav- ahaugh for permission to pav then, and not be held in violation of the salary limit. This President Kavanauph consented to and the men, having been paid' were turned over again to Haver- hlll. in the New England league.
 Some time later President Heisma n or Atlanta asked advice of President Baugh relative to taking certain steps for the holding of farmed Crack CTS. President Baugh told of how Pres ident Kavanaugh had assisted him in his dilemma. Therefore HeIsman wrote Kavanaugh, suggesting that the several teams be allowed to recall their farmed players before the drafting sea- son in order that major leagues would have to pay 5000 for men owned by southern league teams. President Kav- anaugh then issued a bulletin to ali the presidents setting out the propo- sition. President Heisman suggested that the meeting be held in BirminE- ham and President Baugh immediately seconded that suggestion. It is con sidered very likely that 1t will be favorably acted upon and that the league leaders will come together in Birmin gham August IS.
 All league officials will be invited to attend the opening and dedication ot the new park. and many of them will be here whether the proposed meet ing materializes or not. And all sport ing writers will be invited to be pres ent, and many of them will come If the league meeting Is held
 The opening of the new park August IS Is to be made the biggest day Ill Birmin gham baseball. Plans are on foot to arrange a splendid programme and with the league officials and di- rectors and the majority of the sporting writers on hand, the day will be a big one indeed

UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI ATM LEITC INSTRUCTOR SECURED II
 UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA-HAs SPLENDID REPUTATION

University. August S.-(Special)-Af
 several months of work in searchj throughout the country to find a man SUI able to take the place of pr. Pollard physical director and coach of the un versity's athletic teams, the committee athletics has just announced the appoi E ment of Guy Sumner bowman of J University of Missouri to the position. securing MT. bowman, the commi
 feels that it has the best man that co E be found available to look after the uf f Versity's welfare in an athletic way, I he is not only an athlete himself, but 5 man whose profession is physical edu
 ton and whose reputation as a coach
 football, baseball, basketball, and ti
 teams has already been made He f
 an experiment. He comes here fror University of Missouri. where he w.
 structor in physical education and # of the atheltic teams. H
 MT. bowman Is a graduate of the | h State Normal school and of the l. "a national School of Physical Traininl
 Springfield Mass. From 1905 to 190
 was director of physical training in
 Brookline (Mass.) High school; in
 summer of 1907 he studied physical educ. 4 tion in Harvard; during the session of 1907-oS he was director of physical educa- tion in the Warrensburg (Mo) State nor mal From there he was called to the University of Missouri, where he has been until accepting the directorship of ath- letics at the University of Alabama.
 The recommendations of MT. bowman are of the highest order. Prof. c. w. Hetherington of the University of Mis- souri, perhaps the best known physical director in the west, personally recom- mended him to President Abercrombie as one of the best coaches that he knew. President w. J. Hawkins of the Warrens- burg normal says in a letter fo the au- thorities here: His work was too good for us to hold him. This school had games with the university for several years before MT. Lowman's coming here. We were never able to do anything on their field. MT. bowman went over there with the football team and made the first goal ever made against the university by a minor school. He went over and played them in baseball and defeated them. They came to our field and he defeated them again; so they at once began nego- tiations with him to accept position in the university. He did so because they offered more money than we could.
 The closing of the contract with MT. bowman assures the university able ath- letic teams in the future as in the past, provided that the material which he has to develop is up to the standard. And 1t is well that the university has an exper- fenced man to take charge of athletics, for the football schedule for next fall Is undoubtedly one of the hardest that a university crimson and white team has ever had to face, containing as it does battles with a number of the strongest teams in the south.

ESPERANTO GETS
 INTO BASEBALL LINGO

Washington, August Sri Frapumo!'
 This is the cry that will ring out from
 baseball umpires' lips for the first time in the history of the American national game on the afternoon of Thursday, Au- gust IS, when the Washington and Cleve-
 land American league teams meet here.
 The words are Esperanto for three strikes" They will be used to indicate batter out' on the afternon in ques- ton, because the 1000 or more delegates to the International Esperanto congress
 which will be in session here that week will be present at the game. For many foreign delegates 1t will be the first time they ever witnessed the great American game.
 In addition to some Esperanto calls from the umpire. the Esperantists will be
 made to feel at home by having dis tributed to them printed copies of base ball rules in Esperanto, translated es- pecially for the occasion.

JuuI Severely Bedten
 In the Opening Round

James c. Donnelley. the coach secured by Howard college, does not believe that the revised football rules will put an end to the alleged dangers connected with the game.
 He does not think that there will be any more serious injuries than in other seasons, but he fears that minor injuries will be more numerous than ever be- fore. He thinks speed will be the pre- dominant factor in winning games this season, and speed, he thinks, is more productive of minor injuries than the clash of brute strength against brute strength
 In setting out these views in letter to a friend in Birmingham, he stated that he hopes to have a team averaging

SPEED SAYS DONNELLEY

only 160 pounds. He states that he doesn't want heavy linesmen. even, unless with the weight the men have speed. The Howard alumni are busy and hope to have some fine talent for the coach to work with. The spirit of the alumni is very fine, and it is believed that Howard will make a good showing this season.
 Donnelley seems to be splendid coacn. He is a Dartmouth man and Dr. Pol lard has demonstrated the value of the coaches turned out by that institution. Donnelley aided in coaching the Dart mouth teams after his graduation and made a reputation with the Worcester Tech. Later, he had charge of the Bos- ton Tech, a high school, which de- feated the freshman teams of both Yale and Harvard. He Is expected to reach Birmingham September i.

 Monday the team will return to the slagpile to meet New Orleans
 During the absence of the team, Com modore Orcutt's matinee will be in full sway. The commodore Is holding forth on Twentieth street, between Morris and First avenues. just to the rear of the American Trust and Savings Bank.
 The place is cool and comfortable, and the entertainment of the commodore is one of the treats of the fans with the team on the road. The Barons are ex- pected to win the Mobile series. The Barons, normally, are stronger than the Gulls. and the Gulls. at the present time, are little crippled.

In the very first inning the Barons gave Herbert Juul such severe beating yesterday afternoon that the remainder of the game was lifeless and uninterest- Ing.
 The first six Barons to face the son Of the Chicago senator hit safely. The seventh sacrificed. The eighth made the second out and the ninth singled Then the Barons started all over again. But Marcan, on his second trial, retired the side.
 As result of this terrific bomparo- ment, the Barons piled up six runs, anu although two others were made later on they were merely superfiuous. The score might have been as large as F 10 z' TOT the Barons, having decided the issue De- yond redemption, got rash on the pases and exceedingly careless.
