PROSPECTS BRIGHT
 FOR BASEBALL

Anniston. February A.-(Special.) )-Joe Patton, secretary of the Southeastern Baseball association, has returned from Decatur, where he conferred with the fans of the Twin Cities in regard to the prospects of securing franchise for those cities in the league, and he states that the prospect for the success of or ganzed baseball in this section is now much brighter than it was in 1910.
 Selma and Huntsville have signified that they will unite with Anniston, Rome and Gadsden and have representatives at the meeting at Gadsden next Tuesday. so that the encouraging reports from the Decaturs now give almost positive as- surance of the successful reorganization of the league. Due to the comparati Q sameness in the size of the several cities named, the fact that the distances are cut down and other minor features, it is believed that the success of the league will be greater than 1t was under the old regime.

THE VOLUNTEERS
 ARE SIGNING UP

Nashville, February 24--(Special.)- Twenty-one contracts have been sent out to prospective 1910 Volunteers and so far five have come back with signatures att tached. These are from Manager Will liam Schwartz, who will report about March 3, from his home at Akron, O.. and assume personal charge of affairs. the old reliable Doc Seabaugh, Bill Viebahn and two youngsters, Gill and Knapp. Others are expected every day, but Doc Wiseman's contract Is not among this number as Doc never signs a contract before blowing into town as the last man to report,
 Those to whom contracts were submit ted are Catchers, Seabaugh, Erloff, Cur tis; pitchers, Case, Viebahn. Keupper, Anderson and Gill; infieders, Schwartz, Hartwell, Lindsay. Smith, Lamb, Mar bet and Wilson; outfielders. Wiseman. Bay, Viola, Storch and Knapp. The nearest contract was drawn by Bill Viebahn, who is already on the scene from his Pennsylvania home, and the most distant by Signor Juan Viola ot Havana Cuba. The contracts of Johnny Seigel and Teddy Vinson, both of whom are local property, were not forwarded and from report these will be disposed of to the best advantage. One contract forwarded to Pitcher Hensling of Los Angeles was returned as unsatisfactory. and it Is understood that no further ef- fort to hold him will be made.
 Aside from last seasons leftovers. es- pecialy promising among new men se- cured Is Walter Hartwell. a second base man secured from Youngstown, O. Man ager Schwartz has seen him in action and touts him heavily. Another is J. C' Smith, an Atlanta boy, and Auburn grao- uate, secured from the Chicago Cubs. He played with Anderson. S. C., last sea- son. Gill Is a southpaw semi-pro. from the St. Louis lots, while Knapp is an ambitious and confident youngster from Corydon, Ind, who writes that he mas never hit less than 300, is just as last as they make them and can simply ear things up in the outfield. The most likely man among pitching possibilities douot- less is Wingo Anderson, obtained rom Cincinnati. He was procured in mlxup with Manager Bill Smith of Chattanooga, and formerly set the Texas league ahre before being grabbed by Clark Griffith, Wilson and Marbet are local 'phenoms of this section, the former hailing from Lebanon and the latter from Hohenwald, a Swiss settlement of modest dimensions.

Primary Held in Montgomery for In-
 ferior Court Judge

Montgomery, February 24.-(Special.)- A very light vote was polled today in the democratic primary for judge of the in- ferior court of Montgomery There are only two candidates in the race, Senator M.

 The general election will be held the first Monday in April, and the new judge will assume his duties on April 10. The inferior court will be a new institution for Montgomery, the bill authorizing the establishment of this court in lieu of courts of justices of the peace having but recently passed the legislature
 AS the author of the bill to establish this court and as one of the leaders in the election held some months ago when the matter was put before the people Of Montgomery, Senator Screws has been regarded by many people in the city as ire legitimate candidate for the office. and the announcement late this afternoon that he was leading the race by hand some majority caused very little surprise to his friends.

ART LEAGUE FIGHTS
 BILL BOARD EVIL

Cincinnati, February A.-The Cincinnati Municipal Art league scored fresh vio- tory in it's fight against posters yester- day when the implied threat of a boycott induced the management of a corps of foreign ballet dancers to abandon a pur- pose of burying. the city under coat of papers and printers ink.
 Because of the efforts of the league most symphony concerts, music festivals and similar functions here have been adver- tised lately without the use of billboards. Theatre managers generally. however. have paid little attention to the crusade. declaring that the dollar of the art lover is as welcome as that of another person, but no more so.
 Pittsburg, February A.--J. Horace Mac Farland, president of the American Civic Federation, severely arraigned what he termed the billboard nuisance at a meet ing of civic organizations here last night. He urged cooperation in regulating bill- boards similar to that in vogue in Paris and Berlin.

Large Coins Disappear

Washington, February 24.-The dis appearance of the large copper cent and the nickel cent from circulation has brought about a curious condition In the United States treasury. None of these prices had been coined for years, but enough of them were returned to the treasury each year to give the government Q good profit in recoin- ing them into smaller copper cents and into nickel 5-cent pieces. Officers of the treasury department state that these pieces have practically gone out of existence.
