FIRST USE OF CAMERA.
Centenary of the First Man to Make a
Photograph.

In the old building of the New YORK
University on washington Square, the.
birthplace of the telegraph Of Morse
there was taken in S39 the first photo
graph of the human face. says the New
York sun The photograph was that of
Miss Dorothy Catherine Draper. and
the man who took it was her brother.
Dr. John William Draper. professor of
chemistry in the university. He had
gone a step beyond Daguerre and by
this photograph he established himself
as one OF the great inventors OF the
nineteenth century.

COVALESKIE, MIGHTY POLE, IS
 NOT THE POLE OF YESTERDAY

started to third' He got no further, as the next man made an easy out
 In their half of the tenth the Barons won. Elliott singled and went to second on a sacrifice. There was strike out. Then Barr hit one-not a furious, snort ing grounder but one rather tame than wid-just out of reach of Covaleskie Sentell made a furious one handed stab, but didn't touch it. Elliott scored.
 We make no charges against Murch or Sentel. It would be foolish to do so. But had Molesworth not scored from sec ond on a hit to the fence, we would have made charges against him, and had FL lam not at least knocked down that grounder of Barr's we would have had some very unkind remarks to print about his indifference
 CovaleslIie has peculiar mannerisms which do not set well with other play CTS He Is different to handle, and it Is difficult to keep friendly terms in ex- istence between the star finger and his teammates. It is impossible to make other players friendly, in a personal way, to Covaleskie. But last season in Birming ham, while not a single member of the squad was on intimate terms with the big Pole everyone was behind him when 1t came to playing baseball
 Let no man dream but that Covaleskie has the stuff. He is marvellous pitch CT, and were he to show up in Birming ham next season we would not be the one to raise objection-in spite of his temper ament. LA.

Harry Covaleskie is not the same mighty Pole who swept away every ob- stacie in the Southern league last season.
 Why?
 He has as much stuff as he had last year. he is endeavoring to win with as much seriousness of purpose as last year, he is backed by a team which should be as good as was that of last year.
 It Is all a mystery. Covaleskie's bad traits are no worse than last season. Yet he has hardly maintained an average of 500 this year. Last year he was easily the star finger of the circuit.
 In a recent issue the Chattanooga Times declares the Lookouts have not support ed Covales5ie. The Chattanooga Times is emphatic in it's denials of the charge of laying down." As that is the ugliest charge in the repertoire. no man, with out positive proof, would make it. But there are figures to prove that the Look outs have not supported Covaleslie as they have supported Benton.
 Rotten work behind Covaleskie cost him a game in Birmingham some months ago which he should have won. In the tenth inning Murch was on second when Le- Jeune hit ball over the head of Hyder Barr When the ball hit the fence Murch

August Sun Gets a Jolt

 Beelxman winthrop acting secretary of the navy, is a man of courage, and he has won much commendation for a con spicuous stand of that quality, rare in pol ticians and office leaders. He is not a military man, but with one blow, so to speak. he broke the plug hat rule when the other day in charge of the party es- corting Admiral Togo and his suite to Mount Vernon and the tomb of Wash ington he wore sack suit and a Panama hat. The display of plug hats after Ad- miral Togo arrived was soMething pain full and almost put the August sun out or business.
 It is always so when royalty comes to town, and when Mir. Winthrop, acting secretary, stepped aboard the Mayfio~cr, cool in his summer fiannels and white straw hat and twirling hobby little cane, he set a precedent which it is hoped will be followed hereafter. But the sight of him at first almost took away. the breath of those in charge of the recsp- ton ceremonies

SOUTHERN |S STRONG ENOUGH
 ID PLAY MAJORS
FINE TEAM IS SELECTED WHICH MIGHT WIN RAG OF NATIONAL LEAGUE-HARD LETTERS AND BRILLIANT FEEDERS

It is believed that team of Southern leaguers could make decent showing in either of the big leagues.
 We would want about three catchers, about eight pitchers and about three men to sit on the bench until pinch arrived.
 Our three catchers would be Elliott, Angermeier and Higgins There is hard ly doubt but that they are the class of the league, even though Adams has an iron whip and McMurray has his share of pepper.
 Maxwell. Hess, Benton, Bailey, At lxins Trough, Bair and Dickson have been drafted for fast company-and they will just fit the team we are or ganizing. There are four right hand CTS and four left. There is speed. curve. spitball, control, headwork, slow ball. experience and everything else in the lot.
 Schwartz is entitled to first base. Derrin Pratt should be placed at short, not because he cannot play second but because others can't play short Artie Phelan should be given second and
  have a pretty nifty inheld, fine at fielding. fine at throwing and fine at swatting. Schwartz is experienced enough to hold the three brilliant youngsters on their feet.
 The outfeld would be difficult to se- lect Callahan is entitled to place and so is Zimmerman. Northern is good hitter but cannot fieldy we'll enough Welchonce is a good hitter but has well defined defects There is Daley. Yes. Daley gets the place, though at times. his head does get a little thick.
 Now for the three emergency men. Manush should be on hand to fill an infield gap and he could do it as well as either of the regulars. The other two places go to Hyder Barr. of course, and George Yantz, of course.
 That would be a pretty fair aggre- gation. Here it Is:
 owner-Rick Woodward, Birming- ias45 Manager-charlie Frank, New Or leans.
 captain-Bill Schwartz, Nashville.
 Catchers-Elliott, Birmingham; An gemeier, New Orleans; Higgins, Chat tanooga.
 First Base-Schwartz, Nashville.
 Second Base-Phelan, Birmingham.
 Shortstop-Pratt, Montgomery.
 Third Base-Smith, Nashville.
 Pitchers-MaxweH Birmingham; Hess. New Orleans; Benton, Chatta- nooga; Bailey. Montgomery; Atkins, At lanta; Trough, Birmingham; Bair, Nash ville Dickson, Memphis. | Outfelders-Callahan, New Orleans; | u | cry.
 UtiIity-Manush New Orleans; Barr, New Orleans; Yantz, Birmingham. The team which could win a series from the one selected above is not in minor leagues.

Too Many Books

From the London Daily Chronicle.
 Barnaby Rich in his preface to "A New Description of Ireland,' published in 1900, writes: "One of the diseases of this age, is the multitude of books, that doth so overcharge the world that it is not able to digest the abundance of idle matter that is every day matched and brought into the world, that are as divers in their
 forms as their authors be in their faces. Tt is but d thriftless and thankless occu- patton. this writing of books. man were better to sit singing in cobbler s shop, for his pay is certainly a penny q batch!

leagues, and the majors would plant clubs in the cities of the American associa- ton.
 It will then be interesting to note just what headway the little onion would make under pressure. People, it is believed, are tired of the ambitious activity of the American association. The players of that association do not advance as the players of the Southern. and 1t Is quite probable that the youngsters of this league could make the old and dilapidat- ed ex-major leaguers of the association go at terrific clip to demonstrate any superiority.
 A picked team of Southern leaguers could wipe a picked team of Association players off the face of the earth-could, furthermore, make a. good showing in either of the big leagues. B. A.

SOUTHEASTERN
STANDING
Split at Gadsden

Gadsden, September 2.-(Special.)-An- niston took the first game of double header here today. Ware pitched superb ball, but errors at critical stages lost the game. Smith was well nigh invinciDle. In the second game Williams knocked q home run with the bases full which vir- tually cinched the game for Gadsden. Sensational plays featured both contests. Fisher and Williams carried off the hit ting honors of the day with two singles each out of three times at bat. In order to win the pennant, Gadsden will have to take four games from Selma this week and Anniston lose two to Decatur. Pos sble. but not probable
 J. H. Graham, special umpire for this series, gave general satisfaction to both teams and fans. Scores:
