RICHARD SAYS he

Fight Promoter Refuses Chance
10 Be Baseball N sgnafe for
Paffry $4,000

A bunch of eastern baseball hustlers
is endeavoring to make a full fiedged
diamond magnate out of Tex Rickard
by announcing him as the angel of the
proposed Transforming trip of the all
National and all American lea que stars
this winter However Tex viii not
stand for this honor, principally be
cause they are trying to make him pay
$40 600 for it,
Il Ten DAYS ago Tex received a wire
from a couple of willy Cincinnati pro-
moters, who are endeavoring to pro-
mote the trip on somebody else's bank
roll They promised to allow him to
come in for the first cut of the profits
If he would consent to Immediately
wire the sum of $4,000 to pay for the
equipment of the teams and their rail-
road fares.
Rickard does not claim to be an
authority on baseball, so he at once
consulted number of those closely
associated with the game. All of them
quickly informed him that it would be
a losing venture and advised him to lay
off the scheme. This was. enough for
Tex. He decided that he would pass
the angel honors up to some more am
bilious capitalist.
Il am not ready to cut in on the
game of baseball yet said Rickard
last night II have had troubles
enough with the lighting game and
l am going to take much needed rest
before l blossom out again. l am not
a baseball authority, and for this rea-
son I refused to back the National and
American league stars. Let somebody
else take chance at that game"

VERNON TO PLAY SACRAMENTO

Vernon ought to have an easy week
with the poor, forsaken Senator'S. Thev
dropped five out of seven to the Angels
on the southern diamond last week. and
from all accounts Los Angeles did not
have to turn on any excess steam in
order to go this strong. Evidently
the Angels are in their stride once
again. and from this time on they are
sure to cut quite a wide swath.
Los Angeles and Vernon are now tied
for fourth place in the chase after the
pennant. 1t looks as though the pres
ent series should decide for the time
being which team shall go pennant-
ward. vernon seems to have all the
better of II when pitted against the
crippled NSenators. The Angels surely

The population of Baltimore has not been announced, but as 1t had 5os.- s57 inhabitants 10 years ago it pre- sumably will have 60o,000 this year.
 But after we pass the six leading cities changes occur. Cleveland does it is true, retain seventh place. but Pittsburg takes eighth place, supplant- ing Buffalo, which held that place 10 years ago. Annexation brings Pitts burg forward, aided by the slower growth of Buffalo. Detroit, which held thirteenth place in 1900, moves up this year 10 nlnth Pidce' Au'oihopie iac- tories did it. Buffalo gets tenth place. The eleventh and twelfth places go to Milwaukee and San Francisco, although the population of the latter has not been announced Milwaukee held four teenth place 10 years ago, and San Francisco ninth place. Cincinnati, which held tenth place 10 years ago, now gets thirteenth place and Newark, New Orleans and Washington follow in the order named. These cities with their respective populations stand as

Coast Line Fuel Agent Here

Maj. s. S. Fitzgerald. fuel agent fol the Atlantic Coast Line railroad, was in Birmingham yesterday, conferring with local coal merchants.
 He recently placed very large order here for his company and it was in con nection with this that he visited Bir- mingham.
 'The supply of coal received here last year by our line caused us to return to the Birmingham field for another supply this year." said Major Fitzgerald.
 We found that the coal here was the very best that had ever been used on our lines. have it from many of my friends in the purchasing departments that the Birmingham district is to be looked upon as the real center of coal for all southeastern roads. The com panies are inclined to buy where the best possible grade can be secured. How ever. the facilities have something to do with it.

to build the approaches as well as the new crossings, and 1t agrees to close adjoining streets 20 years instead of perpetuauy. The difference between the city and the railroads is practic- ally the cost of approaches only and this surely can be adjusted. As a plain business matter the railroads who are using and blockading the streets of rapdily increasing city will probably not hesitate tc accept the city's fair and Just and liberal proposition.
 Engineer Nicholson does not deal in figures of cost. because the city is not called upon to build viaduct over or subway under the railroads. That Is the task of the railroads that are using the streets of the city-streets in which the humblest pedestrian has we'll established rights.

MT. TaWney Does Not Like Primaries

James A. Tawney of the Cannonite forces vas defeated in a recent repu0- lican primary by Sidney Anderson, a young insurgent, who is not known out aide of the First district of Minnesota. MT. Tawney explains through the Asso- ciated Press that democratic votes caused his undoing. It matters little what did 1t so long as the job was well and thor sons majority was 5000.
 In the October number of Munsey' Magazine MT. Tawney warns republicans against the dangers then in sight. with a democratic house." he says, I've should have in the speakers chair MT. Champ Clark, who once announced on the floor of the house that, if he could, he would tear down the custom house of every American port.
 "As chairman of the ways and means committee, we should have MT. Under wood of Alabama, who declares himself uneouivocally for a revenue tariff. We should then have a tariff bill sent to the senate which, though it would be buried there, would nevertheless throw alarm into every bank, every factory, every farm and every counting house. and would paralyze every source of produc- tion, transportation and consumption in the country
 This huIlabaloo did not, 1t seems, alarm the voters of the First Minnesota district, for at the first opportunity they had thev proceeded to bounce Mir Tawney out of his seat by round majority of 5000. The voters of that district were not paralyzed by the prospect at any rate.

Veterans of Both Armies
rate.

t The Grand Army of the Republic is camping this week in Atlantic City, and from it's ranks comes a proposition that the veterans of both sides should merge their annual meetings hereafter. The nronosition is bold and novel, and it may not be adopted this year, but 1t will be adopted when both sides are ripe for 1t. The statue of General Lee set up in statuary hall in the federal capitol will soon be duly received and sanctioned in both sections of the country, and this of war in a reunited country to get to- gether.
 A decade hence few veterans indeed will be able to attend annual meetings, and before they all have passed away they should come together as the survi- vors of a historic struggle. When the blue and the gray march together the country will indeed be reunited, and every patriot will welcome the spectacle When the Grand Army and the Confed- crate veterans join in a brotherly hand clasp no room will be left for marplots and demagogues. The North and Dixie land will then constitute one great coun- try, and all will in turn honor the men of both armies in the great struggle for what each thought was right Each was sincere, earnest and conscientious, and there is no reason why they should not get together The old wounds are healed and the men of the sixties are fast passing away The whole country should encourage them to come together before 1t is too late.

Down in Bibb County

"Old Bibb is coming on fairly well Tn the procession of progress and prosper ity," said Sheriff James Oakley, who is in the city for a short visit.
 "The crops in Bibb county are fairly good and the corn crop is particular ly good. Our people are coming more and more to diversified farming and it is showing in the general prosperity of all the people.
 We are building by easy processes system of good roads. Most of our roads run through ora near deposits or road building material I believe there would be something gained if the coun- ty convicts were put upon the public roads to work in constructing them.
 "I am frank to say that l think one of the curses of the state today is the fee system. It demoralizes la bor works hardships and in many cases creates a dangerous criminal class from those who are at first offenders against the law only in a mild degree"

Grade Crossing Proposal of tho City

The report of City Engineer Murray Nicholson is full of enlightening facts. He looks beyond the establishment of two crossings to a complete solution of the grade crossing trouble. He an- ticipates the substitution of viaducts or subways at all the grade cross ings in the city and he asks the City Council to take no steps that will prej- udice future efforts.
 This, in a word, is why he recom- mends the building of viaduct in First avenue and of a subway in Twenty eighth street, and the coun- ell has adopted his plan as to both The matter now goes to the railroads for action. The city asks the railroads
