and it is estimated that the change
would result in a saving of $4,000, 900.

the fact that q difference in noses
constitutes about the only distinc-

very few large noses to be found in
Japan, a lady with large nose is

POINTERS TO RANDOM

We had a chance. We took plunge We haven't got it now.
 There is life in a nutshell
 We are sore after the conflict be- cause we did not win. We are denied the satisfaction which the average man experiences in being able to crow over an adversary. On the contrary we are the ones at whom the people, victori- ous, are laughing.
 But that is all. The victory of to- day is nothing tomorrow. The defeat of today is no more lasting than vic- tory.
 We would have found great pleasure in d succession of Baron victories. But We are not going to rave because we were defeated
 There Is no pennant for Birmingham this season. But there are other sea sons For this. we have a reason for thanksgiving. Were there no more seasons, our defeat would be more sig nificant. In the anticipation of victory next season we will hardly recall the unpleasantnesses of today. Had we won the pennant, in the hour of defeat next spring, we would have found very little satisfaction in watching the way ing of the flag.
 The pennant we won in 1906 gives us very little consolation. Next spring, when the players report, we will have another chance. One season is simply 6 repetition of the preceding. We will feel confident in the spring. Later on, when defeats come, we will have the

FEATURES OF RECENTLY FINISHED RACE
 IN THE LITTLE SOUTHEASTERN LEAGUE

Anniston, September 9.-OSpecial.) .)-The first year of the reorganlzed Southeastern
 league closed Wednesday afternoon. and it lis considered peculiarly fitting that the
 pennant should have fallen to the lot of Anniston, for it was in this city that the league was conceived two years ago, al- though local magnates withdrew from the organization before the first season opened a year ago on account of a disagreement as to the admission of Knoxyllles Tenn. which city won the pennant last year, and 1t was on account of Knoxville's distn- clination to admit Anniston this season that the league. was reorganized and the Appalachian league formed under the leadership of Frank Moffett of Knoxville Rome and Gadsden were the two cities belonging to the league last year which aided Anniston In the fight against Nor fett's control and helped in the formation of the new league, with Anniston, Gads- den, Selma, Huntsville, Rome and Deca- tur as members. the cities being men tioned in the order in which their teams finished this season,
 It was during Anniston's first experience in league ball that Fyrus Raymond Cobb first attached his signature to baseball contract, this contract now being held by pr. l.. l.. Scarborough of this city. This feat of incubating Cobb placed Anuiston on the baseball map and it was with a view of living up to. that record that An niston fans went about to cop the flag in the city's first year in the Southeastern.

 release of Fisher Brown and Nelson of Anniston, but it is doubtful if they will be used by him this season.
 Pick of the League | Considering their present work, iheir age, habits and prospects for develop ment; their speed, temperament and abili- ty to hit the ball, the writer would pick the following as the best in the league; Williams, Gadsden, first base; Pickens, Huntsville, second base; MoDuff. Annis- ton, shortstop; Masse, Decatur. third base; Wasom, Anniston, left field; Long, Gadsden, center field; Chancey, Selma, fright field; Brown, Anniston, and Milford, Gadsden, catchers; Smith, Anniston; Dav- idson, Gadsden; Refs, Rome; Robinson Selma and Woodruff, Anniston, pitchers; Woodward, Anniston, utility There is no question about Fishers being the best manager in the league and he has played a jam-up first base.
 A second IedIl lOt tile Sdf1le pOSlllOnS might include Griffin of Rome: vasterlins, Selma; Reed, Rome; Morton of Anniston, Tor Chastant, Selma; Justus, Rome; Dor sey, Gadsden Tanner, Gadsden; McAl lister and Sparks, Selma; Hill, Anniston; Ware. Gadsden; Matthews. Huntsville; Adams. Selma, and Llewelyn, Rome. pitchers; Cook, utility, Decatur; Savldse of Selma, or Bailey of Gadsden, manager.
 Past Season Successful
 The season just closed has been very successful, and next year the player limit and salary limit will probably be in- creased, especially the salary limit. It is now said that all clubs in the circuit, even Decatur, which was regarded as doubtful, will retain their franchises, and 1t is I'roo- able that the circuit will be enlarged so as tc take in eight clubs. Bessemer, Knoxville and Pensacola are among the cities that have been mentioned in ths connection.
 A meeting of the league officials will be held within few weeks, and 1t is proba- ble that there will be some changes in the league in several ways It has not been learned as yet, however, whether or not the present officers will stand for re- election at this meeting.
