Is a tried man. He has been proven in the Southern league and has made good.
 We will take 1t point by point In the pitching staff. consider Wagner, Fleharty and Bauer as three consistent men. Very few pitchers will win as many average games as these three. The recruits should prove fast enough for Southern company. All of them are young, heavy men and are going up in- stead of down, which is a big factor in the making of a player. I intend to get a cracking good pitcher from the big leagues and with these four I will have as good staff as there Is in the league
 There is no question about 'Rowdy' Elliott's ability as a catcher. None In the league have anything on him. have four others to choose from and will be able to get good man.
 '.We will have practically the same in field as last year. McGiivray will play first and there. is no better all round player in the league than he. He fields. bats and runs the bases equally well. Marcans Is a heady second baseman and Ellam is known. Phelan led the league in batting last year and comes highly recommended. I fail to see where there Is another inf1eld that has been proven that touches that one.
 Mcbride will play the sun field and myself the center. I Intend to get an outfielder from the majors and with this I will be content. All of the men are good men. They are not booze fighters ahd all save their money"

AUTOMOBILE GOSSIP
BY JACK BETHEA

manufacture of the automobile will amount to- considerably over $500, ,000, 900. In these works 200,0O men are employed. Automobile makers pay annually $60,0O0,- coo for iron, steel, rubber and aluminium. The railroads get about $25, 100000 annually as their share of the business.
 When 1t is considered that the automo- bile industry is only about 15 years old tlese figures appear marvellous. There Is no other industry that has gained such magnitude in so short time and there will have to be revolution in science be- fore another Is produced.
 Barney Oldfeld and Jim Jeffries are Going Mexico The worlds speed king oar capital and such other cities as the insurgents have left open, while Jeffries Is along on pleasure trip.
 Accompanying the pair are their wives Jack Ripper, Jeffries partner in the Los Angeles cafe, Mrs. Ripper and Eddie Maier, the California sportsman, who is the official referee on inc Pacific coast fo.' the big automobile events.
 A special Pullman combination car IS in commission for the party and stops are being made wherever the scenery or hunting Is good Oldfeld's racing cars arc being shipepd from city to city in his private garage car. His Blitzen, Benz Darracq. Prince Henry Benz and Knox machines constitute the racing outfit
 Contrary to reports, Jeff is not going tc engage in any sparring exhibition In Mex ico The fighter Is simply enjoying life with congenial crowd.
 Mexico City. Puebla, Gaudalajara Aguascalientes, Torreon, Monterey and Tampico will be visited in Mexico. while the racer will visit a number of cities in the states on his return trip.
 The first bills governing aerial high ways have been introduced in the Cali fornia legislature. The bills were pre- rared under the guidance of the Pacific Aero club at San Francisco, and provide first for the designation of aeroplanes as motor vehicles. the registration of such vehicles with the secretary of state, and the taking out of a license number. The bills also provide for the carrying of lights.
 A bill has been introduced in Connecti- cut requiring all aeroplane owners to file annual reports with the secretary oi state, who shall give each owner a distin- gushing mark. The registration fee will be $10 year.

The Mardi Gras Speed carniva. In New Orleans Is attracting much attention among Birmingham followers of the local game. and 1t Is probable that party of local speed enthusiasts will go to New Orleans for the races and other things that usually happen ir Mardi Gras.
 From the list of entries there will be fast racing, and those attending will be treated to hair-raising performances. Lewis Strang, Birminghams favorite. will enter in a Case car. Birmingham will have an entrant In the motorcycle races in the person of Robert Stubbs, who has entered his Indian in the races
 The list of entries announced by the New Orleans Automobile association Is as follows: Caleb Bragg, conquerer of Oldheld, in a Flat Cyclone; Lewis Strang, 1908 American champion, In a Case; A. J. Maisonvile of Vanderbilt cup fame. 'n a Corbin; Louis Larsonneur. noted French driver, in Case; Harry Endicott, Speed way hero, in a Cole; Walter Donnelly. Cincinnati champion, in Cino; Will Jones. Chicago tour celebrity, in Case; Ralph Ireland, of Elgin road race fame, In a Midland; Lewis Edmunds, of ,24-hour race fame, In Cole;s T. s. Duby of Speedway note, in a Midland Six; Louis Disbrow Of Vanderbilt cup fame, in ! National; s. l.. Speer, Jeanerette road
  New Orleans champion, in a Marquett Buick; also other entries of lesser note. That the automobile has passed the period where 1t was known as a fad and the rich mans toy. Is a certainty" says Walter F. Flanders, president and general manager of the r. M. F. con- pany. The motor car has become me- cessity, and we could not do without it any more than we could get along with cut the telegraph, telephone or railroad. It is performing a service far better than any other invention known; 1t has taken its rightful place in our everyday life; It has brought the city nearer the country and has brought us better roads"
 MT. Smith is right and according to sta- tistics the automobile and industries con- nected with it employees larger force than the standing armies of America and Great Britain. A sum of money greater than several of the worlds great for tunes combined Is invested in their manu- facture.
 It is estimated that there are 350,000 au- tomobiles now in use in the United States. The money invested in plants for the

DOWD'S CHAMPIONS TO MEET
 ATHLETIC CLUB TOMORROW

team Is composed of small men mostly and they rely on their speed ana science to win them games. The local able coaching of MT. Messer has de- yeloped some science.
 Columbus has been on a 2000-mile trip and has upheld Its record right we'll, The team has lost only one game on the trip, that to the fast Central of Kentucky team, 40 to 3S. They have beaten the best In Cincinnati. St. Louis, Memphis and other cities. They are playing their games so as to get days rest between each game and will there fore be as fresh as when they left home. Their last game before they tackle the locals was Friday night in Memphis They have been playing to- gether, practically the same bunch. for the past five or six years. Lewis and Gordy, forwards. are among the very best in the country. Massey Is almost in a class by himself at center. Dozier has made all-southern guard for sev eral years and Newman makes him crack running mate. Claude Estes, formerly of this city. is also with the team.
 The locals had their final workout last night and are in the best shape possible for the game. The game will be worth going miles to see. and from the advance sale of tickets the largest crowd that ever attended a game in Birmingham will be on hand. The club members will all be on hand to help the locals by their encouraging roofing. which does so much to help the boys do their best. A rooters' club has been formed for the occasion and they win make things hum.
 By beating Columbus the locals will have a claim on the southern cham pionship, and to say they will work hard for the game is putting it mildly
