'ALEER THINKS HE

Figures Red Sox Will Give
Mackmen Battle
In 1912.

CHICAGO. Nov. Thames McAleer
Is more of an optimist since he has
graduated from the ranks, of a base
ball manager to the position of mag
nate. James is to be the new presi-
dent Of the Boston Red Sox when the
club is reorganized the first Of the
year, and he came here today to con-
fer with Robert McRoy, who is to be
the secretary of the club.
One has to talk with McAleer only
a few minutes to find out that he
thinks the Boston club is going to be
the one to give Connie Mack's Ath-
letics battle for the American
League flag next season Since he has
secured the consent of Jake Stahl to
return to the game and act as man
ager OF the Red Sox, McAleer's hap
piness Is complete. He thinks the
team is complete, too, for first base
position was the one worrying him,
and with .Stahl on that corner he can
see nothing but success for the club.

Manager Hildebrand, OF the Arcade

for women who would indulge In mild
exercise on the alleys. Though little
used by women, bowling ought to be
popular with the fair sex. II Is not too
rough for them, and, under conditions
as exist at the Arcade, might well be
adopted by woman's clubs of this city.

FIELD MEET CALLED OFF
Annual Field Meet Of Graded Schools
of the City Not to Be Held This Year
Postponed Because Of Lack Of In

terest and For Other Reasons.
The annual field and track meet Of
the boys of the graded schools of the
city is not to be held this year. This
decision was reached at meeting OF
the ward principals and Superintend-
ent Palmer, held Tuesday evening
when detailed plans for the meet were
to have been made. At that time II
was decided to postpone the meet for
one year al least. The principal reas-
ons are lack Of interest in some of the
schools. and the lack of boys TO COM
pete in other schools.
1t was found when the situation was
canvassed that there are but two or
three schools that are really enthusl-
astic about the meet, the interest in the
others being on the wane owing to the
novelty of the event having worn on,
This lack of interest In some OF the
wards like the Arson. First ward. and
Abbott is due to the repeated disap-
pointment that has come to these
schools by not having been able to
more than make small showing IN
the meet This has been primarily due
TO not having as large poS IL 'he"'
schools as in the others. Neither the
Arson nor the First ward has a sew
enth grade. and a number OF the fifth
and sixth grade boys of the First ward
have been transferred to other build
ings.
In view Of these circumstances 1t was
decided not to be worth while to hold
the meet II not more than two or three
schools would have fairly representa-
tive teams.

The companies of the Alabama Ma tional Guard will, in all probability be requested to vacate the armory at the city hall by the Board of Commission CTS. In speech yesterday morning Judge Lane said if reports read be- fore the commission were true he would be in favor of putting the com panies out of the building and re- fusing them the use of the drill hall and armory
 The sensation was brought to a climax by the reading beforeft the com missioners of a letter from Miss Chap man, librarian, in which she reported that members of the Alabama National Guard broke open the library retiring room, stole several articles and com mitted other offenses and abominable acts. A report from Custodian Jack Curran was also read, substantiating the report and adding that the city hall was in a fearful condition from their revelry. It seems that beer and sandwiches were partaken of by the soldiers.
 Judge Lane said: q wish to say, MT. President, that this Is outrageous, and I move that the chief of police be or dered to make a searching investiga- tion into this conduct. If there is such an occurrence again I will cer-

MEETING OF FAIR CIRCUIT THURSDAY Bookings for Fairs to Be Held This Fall Are to
 Be Considered

Representatives of the Southern Fair Thursday, April 20, following a call of President J. H. Holcombe. They will con- sider d number of propositions relative to certain amusements and special features which the circuit contemplates securing for their consecutive celebrations next fall Nashville Memphis, Montgomery, Birmingham and Mobile will be repre- sented.
 Numerous inquiries are being received from time to time by F. P Chaffee, sec retary of the Birmingham Fair assoeja- ton, relative to booking space at the fair to be held in October and all indications point to the most successful affair of this kind ever held. Many letters have been received from various counties in the state with regard to securing space for agri- cultural exhibits, and Commissioner of Agriculture R. F. Kolb has already re- served big space for the state exhibit.
 Mrs J. E. Reid who has charge of the womans department, has received many communications from various organiza- tions and individuals prospective to put ting on exhibits at the fair and every sign is good for the woman's department to be even in advance of last year, when 1t was widely commented on as having surpassed that which was presented at the St. Louis exposition.
 Every indication is good,' said F. P. Chaffee, secretary of the association, for having as good if not, far better attrac- tions than we had last year. In the line of free acts we have secured many new features, and It is possible that we may have few thrilers that have never ap- peared before'

tainly favor putting them out of this building for good. -
 President Exum was equally astound- ed over the report as Commissioner Lane and went a little further by say ing:
 T would suggest, Judge Lane, that every commanding officer of companies quartered here be summoned before this body I will say that we have received a number of reports along this same line. We have tried to get at the bottom of It. but to no avail. think by summonlng the officers here we can reach a verdict much quicker than in any other way.
 Judge Lane concurred in the sugges- ton of President Exum and 1t was so ordered.
 The chances seem to indicate the ex- preston of the soldiers from the build ing. By reason of the continuation of the overt acts and the repeated re- quests that such cease, the commits sion seems to be of the opinion that no clemency should be shown.
 It is barely probable that the com- commissioners may straighten out the affair but there has occurred noth ing yet which has called for such un- conditional condemnation from the commissioners.

 The family waited about 10 days before beginning a search for him, but at the end of that time secured the services of detectives. They have searched high and lew for the missing Birmingham citizen, but have yet to find any trace of him.
