FAIR DAY. IS NOW DRAWING VERY NEAR
Midway Will Be Wonderful Blaze of Side Shows and
 Freak Exhibits

A significant evidence that the time IS indeed drawing near when the big Ala bana State Fair throws wide it's gates in royal welcome to the people of the south is found in an announcement made this morning in regard to one important department.
 The gist of the announcement is that all entries for the needlework department close at 5:3o o'clock Thursday afternoon. September 2S.
 Mrs J. B. Reid, superintendent of the woman's department who returned Wednesday morning from flying trip to Shelby county, made to assist the en- terprsing citizens of Shelby in prepar- ing their exhibit at the fair, made the announcement immediately upon her re- turn.
 This feature of the womans department is an unusually interesting one this sea sen. as are all other departments of the exposition. and the announcement will be Of wide interest, as far more entries have been made in the needlework line than vas anticipated.
 The Alabama State Fair is in class to itself and should undoubtedly reap the rich reward of being regarded, after 1t is over, as the greatest exposition ever held in the .'here we rest state up 10 this time.
 Incidentally, it is of general interest to mention that among ''the multitude of free acts'.are such drawing cards as trot- ting and pacing races, for purses agSrc- gating s90oo, thrilling motorcycle races. speed contests between aviators and au- tomobiles aviators and motorcycles. foot ball games, the noted Russian dancers premier comedy artists, daring acroba1c performances and best of alls an old fashioned three ring circus twice daily ir front of the grandstand.

Whether the trou- ble is with the operating, with the instrument or with the accounting department we want prompt re- ports.

MAJORS PLAN TO
REDUCE EXPENCES
FROM $1,000 TO 5000, IN RAILWAY
FARES WILL BE SAVED BY
BASEBALL CLUBS NEXT
SEASON.

Cincinnati, o., Jan. According to
statements made by President Barney
Dreyfuss the joint schedule commit
tee of the National and American
leagues has arranged the schedules for
both leagues so that each club will
save between $1,000 and $4,000 in rail-
way fares next year.
He says that each of the clubs has
been travelling many extra thousands
of miles every year and that the joint
schedule body cut down the number
of miles to the lowest ebb. He would
give no exact instances OF this and
said that his hearers would have TO
await the deliverance OF the new
schedule.
I'VE will grant no higher classiica-
tion to either the American association
or the Eastern league" said President
Dreyfuss. II have received in the last
few weeks several letters in regard to
this matter, Naturally, the other
leagues besides these two do not want
them to have this higher classification
while l know that both the American
association and the Eastern league dc
want il.

Most of the Clubs Choose Places
Where Players Can Boil Out.
Preparing for Coming
Season
EXPENSE IS NOT CONSIDERED
Experiences Of Last Season Cause
Some of Managers to Select New
Training Grounds for Players
This Spring.

Nearly all of the major league clubs
have picked out their training camps
for next spring. Year after year the
teams are sent South, but the clubs
in searching for training sites. are
gypsy-like in their habits.
The tendency, though, appears to get
the players TO some springs where
they can boil out The clubs, no mat
ter where they go, find il almost i'm
possible TO meet their expenses by
playing exhibition games in the south
Manager Mack has almost despaired
of trying to make expenses in Dixie
and has hit on the plan Of starting
his men TO work in Virginia Hot
Springs, and then sending them to
Georgia for a couple OF weeks before
making a quick jump back to the
north.
President Fogel of the Phillies be-
lieves i'm giving the old system trial.
1t cost the club several thousand dol
lars to train at Southern Pines, n. c..
| last spring and not enough money was
taken in at the gates 20 supply Nc
/ Qullan with cigarette money. The
clubs have made out well on the way
north especially at Baltimore and
Washington.
According to the plans now under
way, the Phillies next spring viii have
one of the most elaborate itineraries
that any club ever had. President
Fogel selected Birmingham, Ala, be-
cause he believes that the city which
has a population OF $4,000 will turn
out large crowds to the exhibition
games and he is also mapping out a
transforming trip for two teams.
whereby they will gradually work their
way north.
Both the New York Giants and the
Chicago Americans have had enough
of trips TO the coast. President Com
iskey Of the White Sox gave it up
last spring. when his team was de-
layed by washouts, snowstorms, etc.
President Taylor of the Boston Am
orleans, however. will take his play
ers TO California, for ne thinks that
the climate out there was just made
for training ball tossers.
The following table shows where the
various teams will pitch their tents
next spring:
