HannOn Finds a Prodigy

Anniston, April 30.-(Special)-In Archi- bald, the big fellow who played star halfback on the Alabama Presbyterian college team last fall, Coach Hannon of the Predestinarians has discovered a prodigy, as he is developing into one of the mainstays of the Pred baseball team.
 He has proved good student in col lege. and he is using his noodle on the field In the past three games he has played Archibald has come to bat eleven times. getting five singles, a two-bagger and walked twice, stealing base twice, at the same time fielding 1000
 In this man and Stevenson, the young Pred twirler, Hannon has material which give great promise. Clark, another young pitcher, and Baker, at third, have de- veloped rapidly and have been material factors in the number of victories scored by the Preds.
 The Preds play the Selma Southeastern leaguers Monday and Tuesday, having cancelled proposed games with Gadsden.
 Chic Hannon's Preds and Manager Ford's Models of the Southeastern league, who have won one game each and broken even in a series of three, will play a decisive game this week.
 Larry Brown, catcher for the Preds Hannon, second base, and Klein, outfield- CT and pitcher may play with Ford's club this season, having been given try outs.

SEXTON'S WONDERFUL WORK
 BOUTS MOBILE SEA GULLS
SELMA CLUB IS
 IN GOOD SHAPE

Selma, April 9.-(Special.) )-The Selma club of the Southeastern league will play their last exhibition games of the season here next Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day, when they meet the University of Ala bama boys. The games promise to prove most interesting and will be at tended by a large number of fans.
 The Selma club is in excellent shape for the opening of the league season here on Monday, May 8, when series of three games with the Anniston club will be played on the local diamond. The pitchers are in midsummer shape and have been doing good work during the past three weeks. The work of picking out the best material among the pitch CTS who have been trying out will begin next week. This will be a difficult task for Manager Billy" May and Captain Howard.
 Several of the men who have been here for several weeks past trying for positions on the team were given tickets to their homes today. The wedding out today leaves only about IA men on the field. Carl Adams, a Montgomery boy, will repoSt here Monday and will have a try-out on the pitching staff. Adams worked here about ten days ago with the Deacon BrowN club of Montgomery. Be- sides the defeas received from the Mont gomery Southern league team Adams scored the only defeat which the local club has met with so far during the preliminary season.

 Coach Messer is not at all pleased with the batting and fielding average of some of the men on his squad, and unless there is a decided improvement in some of these there is liable to be some new faces wearing the High school uniforms. The team batting average is lamentably low only being 192. This is due to the fast that E. Propst and Goldstein are the only two men batting about 300. Zielminski, Antwine and Greene are all above the 200 mark, but the work of the remainder of the squad with the willow has been so poor that 1t is not worth while to men

Adventures in Contentment"

Charles Dillon in the Kansas Indus-
 trialst.
 It might not be a bad idea if the states collection of school books-text- books-was enriched by the addition of David Grayson's Adventures in Con- tentment." These stories have been run ming In the American Magazine. They are altogether the finest things in lit- erature pertaining to country life. Not only should they be read by every boy and girl in Kansas-particularly on the farms and in the lonely places-but they should receive the careful attention of grown-ups for the wealth of sweet and homely philosophy they contain. To read them cannot fail to brighten lives that may seem dreary.
 The every day chores have a new meaning when Grayson tells about them. ''We shall cut clover today' he shouts gleefully, as If cutting the clover were the especially ambition to- ward which he had long been struggling. No drudgery in farm work for him. The horses and the cows are his friends and the hired man in his ridiculously fashy socks. his social equal. They toll together through a hot hot day, for the most part silently, and separate at night with gracious words, worn and weary, and undishonored. to sleep the sleep that knows no waking until dawn It makes one think how much one misses in life, the reading of these stories; it makes one determine to watch closer. hereafter. to sec If it be true that the clover looks this way or that, or the squirrel does so and so. or the moon strikes the caves of the house differently in Grayson's home than in ours. "I have heard talk of the hard work of the har- vest" he says, but I never yet knew healthy man who did not remember many moments of exquisite pleasure connected with the hardest and hottest work"
