Mobile. April 0.-(Specia1 )-Before an audience numbering close to 5O9o the Mobile Sea Gulls this afternoon opene l the local season auspiciously by hand ing a defeat to the Birmingham Barons played game.
 Fleharty and Campbell were the op- posing pitchers and they both pitched star ball, Fleharty allowing but two hits one of which counted in the rungettins, and Campbell gave up but three, one of them of the scratch variety.
 The only thing to mar the entire aft ernoon, which began with parade of players of both teams, club oficial-, Mobile county representatives in the leg islature and others, was an accident to Roy Ellam, in which the Baron infielder suffered a broken collar bone, which will keep him out of the game several days. The accident happened in the first inning Bayless and Ellam coIliding at second base when Bayless ran to that bag on a sacrifice, Ellam covering, and being hir by Bayless when he stretched for F'le- harty's wild peg.
 A physician was called from the 'stanI and attended Ellam, Phelan going to third base, while Yantz was sent to short
 The big crowd did not have to wait long to get some of the cheers out of their systems, as the Gulls tailed once in the opening round.
 Bayless, leading off, walked. Fox sac rificed and Fleharty threw wild to sec ond trying to catch Bayless on the play, the throw going to centerfield. Smith sac rificed both men along and Bayless came home on Swacina's sacrifice fly out to Molesworth in deep center.
 The Gulls scored again, in the eighth inning. Fox being hit in the head by a pitched ball. He went to second on aa safe clout to right center.
 The Barons had their best opportunity to score in the first inning. With one gone Mowrey hit past first to the right field fence for three bags, Carpenter sending him to third when Smith blocked him in turning second. Moley, in trying to work a. squeeze, popped out to Dunn and Mcbride grounded out, second ta first This proved the oQly real oppor tunity for the Barons to score, as Camp bell was very effective and not another Birmingham player reached second base But two more got to first.
 In the way of features a catch of a foul fly in leftfield by Mcbride was the star play and the Baron gardener was given a great ovation. Spencer was also in the limelight with five put-outs, among bases. The local outfielder pilfered third twice. Swacina secured both hits for Mobile, while Mowrey got two of the three for Birmingham.

To Avoid Winter Colds.

Air baths are the latest prescription
for the seeker after health. These are
positively recommended as magic
preventive for avoiding winter colds.
At first they may seem too difficult Of
accomplishment, but if one will only
try one will see how astonishing the
results are.
And the beauty Of this magic air
bath is that it Is simplicity itself.
There is no cumbersome apparatus. no
tiresome visits of the masseuse, no
pounding and punching Of an inof-
fensive body. One merely has to lie
still and allow gentle breezes to blow
upon the body.
One need only expose the skin. SO
the enthusiasts say. to the air for fif-
teen or twenty minutes, half hour or
an hour night and morning to ami
hilate the horrid cold germs which are
everywhere ready to seize upon any
one who gets chill and SO lays her
self open to attack.
Hence the danger of drafts and Wet
feet. Our usual habits give the skin
no opportunity of hardening itself.
If one would indulge in the benef-
cial air bath ono must spend twenty
minutes before retiring without ones
clothing. Then in the morning battle
and do up the hair before covering the
skin with the days clothing. These
measures alone constitute an effective
air bath and will lessen the sensibility
of the skin and liability to cold in q
few days time.
A more elaborate way for taking the
air bath is recommended by a noted
physician. Select the sunniest room
in the house. If the window is over.
looked by neighborirg houses place q
low screen before 1t. Then undress
wrap yourself in sheet and blanket
and lie on the floor in the sunshine.

COMMANDER SIMS
GETS REPR|MAND
Blood Thicker Than Water
Speech Was Too. Much
for President Taft.
american News Service)

Washington, Jan. 10.-Commander
w. s. Sims, of the United States Navy
was officially reprimanded today by
President Taft for his sensational
blood is thicker than water" speech
in London. December 3rd, in which
Sims is alleged to have said that If
the British empire is ever seriously
menaced by an external enemy it was
his opinion the British could count on
every man, every dollar and every
drop of blood of your kindred across
the sea-"
President Taft sent the following
letter to Secretary Meyer: Il am in
formed by you that the Lord Mayor of
the City of London on Dec. 3rd, last,
entertained at dinner 500 men OF the
U. S. fleet; that the men were COM
manded by Commander w. S. Sims;
that Sims, in reply to an address OF
the Lord Mayor used these words: If
the time ever comes when the British
, Empire is seriously menaced by an ex-
ternal enemy, it is my opinion that
you may count upon every man. every
dollar every drop OF blood, of your
kindred across the sea- You ask me
whether the delivery of such speech
under the circumstances calls for &C
tion by the department. l think it
does. The Navy is used much as an
instrument of peace. One of the chief
! functions that its officers perform
when they visit foreign ports is the
responsibility of conveying to all ma
tons the good will of the United
States. An officer is under special OBJ
| legations to see to it that what he
does or says shall not embarrass his
government in its foreign relations.
1t is his obvious duty to avoid in.
sidious comparisons and to limit his
speech and his expressions of friend
ship for the country whose guest he
| is. Commander Sims cannot escape
said was a mere expression of his per-
sonal opinion. Under the circumstanc
es. he must speak as an official rep
resentative and he should have known
that the words he used would at once
call for severe comment in other coun
tries than Great Britain and might in
volve the government in an explana
! ton and disclaimer.
| For these reasons I direct that q
public reprimand be given to Com
mander Sims
Commander Sims is the officer who
started the movement for increased
target practice in the navy, which is
said to have increased the battle eff
cheney of United States warships loo
per cent.
