Why the People of Decatur Will
Vote to a Man for F. B. Jones
for Commissioner.

While the Interurban was being
built near Harristown, few
years ago, a colored laborer was
shot down by a boss from the
South. His body was brought to
Decatur, but having no friends OF
relatives, he was about to be bur-
led at the Poor House in rough
box. Mr.. Jones pitied the poor
fellow and ordered the undertaken
to furnish him decent coffin and
buy lot in Greenwood Cemetery
And after the funeral, conducted
by Rev. Archie Ward, he was bur
led like a man, and not like an an
imal.
The trial given at the Antioch
Baptist Church was interesting
from the start to the finish. Mrs
Clanton and Mrs. Carroll, who act
ed as attorneys for the defendant
conducted their side of the case
well and in manner becoming the
position which was a tentative one
considering the conditions i'm
posed upon them by the prosecu-
ton. Rev. Crockette acted as
judge, while the jury was chosen
from the audience. Rather than
punish Cook Long, who was de-
PENDANT in the case, the jury hung
itself, and after failing to come to
any agreement, they were dis
charged. The best Of humor pre-
vailed at the meeting, and some
very lively tits between Karl
Monte, the acting State S Attorney
and the lawyers for the defendant
only sc''ved to make the trial all
the more interesting.
Miss Lena Nickens has gone but
not forgotten. While away as
when here, she has the best wishes
of all who know her. For to come
in contact with Miss Nickens
meant to be predominated by her
strong character, mental and NOR
al. Miss Nickens is one of our best
Sunday School teachers, and one
whom we can not afford to lose.
Mr.. j. R. Robinson, who for SO
long a time has been the donor OF
so many pleasant evenings at the
different halls in Decatur, is to
leave us. Mr.. Robinson seems to
be diseusted at the failure of De.
catur people to appreciate his eff.
fort along these lines. We hope
that Mr.. Robinson will be better
satisfied wherever he goes, as he
has always conducted himself
along gentlemanly lines while
here.

To Be on Same Plan as That at

SEATTLE. Wash, March 24.-The plan
to eventually provide the University Of
Washington with a giant stadium simi-
lar to the one in use at Harvard will
probably go through. The plan was
originally suggested by the board of con-
troll of the Students Association. In or-
der to obtain funds to help construct the
athletic arena it is suggested that the
students registration fee be increased
from s. to S. yearly, and that the extra
money derived from the $500 students be
placed aside for investment. At per
cent the sum would yield $4,000 in five
years Together with donations it would
be possible for the athletic authorities
to start work on the project. The matter
will be presented to the general studen,
body for final adoption at the next meet

Payment Of an Additional 81, 900
for His Release.

I questionable whether the climate there
! is warm enough to give a ball team a
chance to get thoroughly loosened up.
Changeable weather is never good for
players in training. and this may be
| the objection to Atlanta.
If practice makes perfect, the Ma
tiOnals will be a splendid hitting ag-
has been on the card for hours every
day. besides playing games most every
day. With very few exceptions there
has been nothing but good pitching
dished up to. the batters. and this
should have proven splendid training
, for their eyes McAleer realizes that
his team needs all the batting it can
get. and he insists on having the
pitchers let themselves out and use
everything they can when pitching to
of having some pitcher lob the ball to
ward the plate in practice amounts t.
nothing, and McAleer believes that i
there is to be any improvement in hit
having the players face real pitching
for couple Of hours every day.
In the future Jim McAleer will turn
players the club has picked up, for hi
experience this spring has taught him
that little that is said about them can be
relied upon.
ANO SOuIlSSleIS ever ndQ more Qetrl
mental things said about him than Dav,
Bunting before he had even reported
From several sources McAleer heard Il a
Bunting would never do in this company
and yet he has convinced McAleer by his
work that 1T will pay the club to carry
him along for utility purposes, for
while, at least. Bunting looks better than
any of the youngsters.
Corbins case is similar His showing
at Columbus was so poor last fall tina
those who saw him play there thought
his being secured by the Washington club
was huge joke, yet Corbin stands a
great chance Of being retained for the
Nationals outfield.
Bussey was another player who McAleer
was led to believe was not good enough
for this company. and yet he seems to
have convinced his manager that he has
a chance to pitch winning ball in the
American League. Monte Cross tip on
Warren Miller was not far out of the
way. and Chief Swain has lived up to
every detail Of his reputation, excepting
that given him by Cliff Blankenship.
There are just eighteen days left for
the work at the ball park to be completed
to allow the playing Of the opening game
here. To see what has been done to date
Is astonishing, and yet when one realizes
all that has to be done and there are but
eighteen days to do 1t in makes one pes
simistic as to the final outcome. But thu
fact must not be overlooked that eight
cen days are really fifty-four days, for
three shifts OF men are being worked
ana every day counts for three.

BY J. ED GRILLO.

Doc Ralston, who for time was count
ed on as the left fielder of the Nationals
will be sent back to Akron. the club from
which he was secured last fall. Ralston
has not come up to expectations and Nc
Aleer does not feel justified in paying
5000 to retain him, which is the agree
ment with the Akron club.
The purchase price of Ralston was
$500. $500 Of which was paid at the
time he Joined the team, while the bal
ance must be paid or the player returned
before May 1. Ralston is not the kind
of ball player McAleer wants and for
this reason he is not playing him with
either the regulars or yaniGans in the
practice games at Atlanta. OF course.
before Ralston could be sent back TO
Akron the other clubs of the American
League would have to grant waivers on
him. 1t is not at all unlikely that the
Detroit club will refuse to do this for the
reason that Jennings had many favorable
reports on Ralston at the time that
Washington purchased him and the De-
troit manager may be willing to take a
chance with him when McAleer gets
ready to send him back
into a good hitter, and all because he
has been made to change his style of
facing the pitcher. The result is that
he is getting better swing at the ball
and hitting it harder. There has been
no more consistent hitter in the training
camp this spring than Ainsmith. He
and Milan have been doing the bulk of
the productive hitting. 1t is not often
that a change in position at the plate
makes as great difference in play er
batting as it has in the case Of Ain
smith.
Somerlot is another player who should
be taught to take more of swing at
the ball, and McAleer proposes to make
an effort to change his style for the bet
ter Somerlot has been in the habit of
only pushing at the ball, and McAieer
proposes to teach him to take healthy
swing such as a man OF his physique
could be expected to take.
There is no likelihood Of Manager
McA1eer entering into any agreement
with the Atlanta club whereby the
Georgia metropolis will become the
Nationals permanent spring training
camp. Before McAleer would make
such a choice he would want to de-
termine the exact benefits the players
have derived from their stay there and
only the actual campaign will show
this. While the team has been par
fortunate in having a place
to train where 1t has not been neces-
sary to lose single day, yet 1t is

Frank Chance Of the champion
Chicago Cubs appears to share
the popular belief that the
Giants are going to be a tough
club to beat in 1911.
"McGraw Will have some good
pitching this season or miss my
guess" says Chance. "Mathew-
son ought to be just as good as
he ever was for ten years longer.
Ames and Wiltse ought to do
well, while Crandall can beat the

AS they stick him I'm against
them.

yet what to expect. 1t looks NJ
though we had picked up q cOu-
PIE of good youngsters and I
hope that we will be stronger
than in 1910. Cincinnati may
make some trouble, but I look
for the Giants to make the real
fight, and figure that IL we can
head this bunch 1t will be an
other bit Of bunting for the west

will not give way as easily as he or
Manager McAleer hoped for Swain is not
showing up to the advantage that he no
doubt will when he is lighter.
The boys all attended the game be-
tween Atlanta and the Cubs in body.
The Cubs won by the score of to 2.
through the generosity of Pitcher Britton,
who gave up six bases on ball, hit bat
ter, made two wild pitches, an error and
allowed five hits in four innings, for
seven runs. Mayer, who succeeded him,
allowed but three hits and run. The
Crackers could do nothing with Foxen,
but lit onto Mcintyre very well. The Cubs
played all their regulars except in right.
The regular infield was on hand. Stein
feldt being back at third base. Both teams
made, eight hits. O'Dell and Watson get
ting three each for Atlanta
Trainer Quirk came mighty near being
killed yesteday afternoon. He was in
jured while watching the practice Of the
Crackers and Cubs before the game.
Pitcher Hi Prendley of Atlanta was
warming up with Catcher Jim Luck, when
the big hurler cut one loose over Lucks
head. Quirk, who was standing thirty
feet or more behind Luck, was struck on
the left eye and fell like shot. Players
rushed to his assistance and carried him
to the clubhouse. An examination show
ed that his eye had been cut. but that
the eyeball had not been touched. A
cut about two inches long made a nasty
looking place With the assistance of
one of the players he treated the eye
himself and bound it up, like he alone
knows how to do. There is possibility
of stitch or two having to be taken In
the eye.
