 Stive is almost as great an asset as winning ability. Beginners cannot do bet ter for start in cultivating style than to retain for a few seconds a correct po- sition in finishing stroke.
 Some people can never drive very long bail, no matter how great their strength. Suppleness has more to do with that ac- complishment, or, as one famous profes- sional put it, "loseness of limb Next to keeping your eye on the ball, the most important lesson to be learned in driving is to stop worrying because you do not get as long a ball as some of your ac- quaintanees.

Vastly better than any thing else for beginners is to watch the play of masters of the art under all sorts of varying and disconcerting condi- tions seldom caught by the camera.

Attel's Arm Gone

New York, April 1.-Abe Attel, feather weight champion of the sorld, will be out of the ring for many weeks, a result of injuries to his lame left arm in his fight here last night with Frankie Burns Of Jersey City. Attel fought Burns to standstil, but his victory took nerve and is likely to cost him dear for his left arm hung by his side during the last two or three rounds.
 Attel injured the shoulder in Cleveland six weeks ago in a battle with kilbane. He was compelled to remain idle until last night, when he believed his arm could stand the strain.

If seems no more than fitting in this luu between the basketball and base ball seasons that the critics through out the south who have been interested in basketball during the past season should demand some sort of an ali southern" selection of players from the uuintets competing in this part or 'le country The writer has received seN . eral communications asking that ne make such selection and, after que consideration. has offered three for con sideration. The selections are not based on a theoretical knowledge or the men chosen but from careful study of their records and also of the men themselves after seeing them personal ly in action.
 The picking of an all-southern bas- ketbau team is probably open to more criticism than any other like selection at a seasons end because of the many excellent men usually competing in thls line of sport. This was especially true of the past season. However, 1t Is not expected that the selections will meet with the approval of everyone. -'o se- lection ever made succeeded in doing this.
 In making the selections I have not attempted to pick the stars, but the men who have proved themselves steady, consistent players under fire, in the hardest as well as the easiest games of the season, with a view to- ward choosing a strong consistent team as the ideal.
 ba productive of good forwards and guards, but lamentably lacking in re- gard to the crop of centers turned out The men in the forward position who are worthy of mention for their good work are as follows: Soost and Maiden of Mobile. Chairsen and Woodruff of the Birmingham Athletic club, Brooks of the Birmingham Y. M C. A, Gordy Teddy and Lewis of Columbus Y M. c. A.. Brown of Vanderbilt and Major of Auburn. In the center position only three men loom up as possibilities ii this class They are W. l..

May Conner had been working for
Mrs. Henry Vogt at 1924 Des Moines

Mrs. Vogt discovered the loss of a
fine opal ring upon her return and
Immediately notified the police and

Berger who was with the woman
when caught, had called at the Vogt
place several times and the disappear

Under the proposed franchise the
company is required to keep In repair

1t Is required to pay the cost Of per-
manently improving O space four feet
on each side of the center line of It's

more than one track it will be requir-
ed to pay for improving a much larger
srace. This alone will prove a great
saving to the tax payers of the city
Under the existing franchise the
company can charge one fare within
the city limits from one terminal to
another. Under the proposed fran
chfse the company must carry pas
senger for one fare within the city
limits and for one mile beyond.
The other provisions of the two
ordinances are almost identical.
The people lose nothing by voting
in favor of the proposed ordinances
and if same are adopted will gain
rights and privileges which they do
not now have under the existing ordi-
nances.
In 1908 the city granted to Mr. Hugh
L. Cooper an electric lighting fran
chise and street railway franchise
each more favorable to the citizens
than the existing franchise and prac-
tically identical with the proposed
franchises.
The city, in its history, has never
had any company operating its street
railway and electric light plants who
had sufficient capital to properly main
tain and improve same. Now when we
have the opportunity to interest those
who have sufficient capital to give us
first class street railway and mod.
ern electric lighting system should We
refuse to take advantage thereof
1t is being said that we are giving
away rights for a period OF twenty
| five years and If we make a mistake
we can't correct it until the twenty
/ five years have elapsed. This state
ment is due to lack OF knowledge OF
/ the ordinances of the city. Section

the future it should appear that an
