It may happen that "Rowdy Elliott and Clyde Mcbride, two husky Barons who are lmbering tip at Hot Springs at the present time. will be numbered with the temporary "hold-outs."
 Neither has returned his contract. But little attention is being paid this delay, however. Both men, the man. agement believe, will come ambling in within the next few days. Both are valuable men and both are popular with the local fans.

been pulled out But is this true Of Heisman?
 He is head and shoulders in Atlanta. He has that fair city under his thumblet. He is amateur coach of a professional team. He is professional coach of a base ball team. He is president of the Atlanta Baseball club He is theatrical booking agent. He is a sporting writer.
 He is a great man. He wants to be president of the Southern league. At lanta should be proud of one of it's true citizens in whose breast such worthy am- bition pushes it's freight.
 The Atlanta Journal says that he is commercialistic. He has to eff he is at all. The Atlanta Journal says that he chases penny to the point that strains the patience of a sport-loving public In this connection it might be said that you ] have got to push it pretty hard if you get it In Birmingham.
 Seriously, however, it is hoped that the Journal and Heisman will come to terms The story has it that the lion and the lamb have lain down together, and that water and oil have been made to com- mingle in the blessed bonds of friendship So why not the Journal and MT. Heis- man?
 Do not blame Heisman Were a frog by his own ingenuity, to become the cap- tain of batteship, would you blame the l frog?
 We are for Heisman every day in the year. We would not be, however were there danger of him dominating the Southern league or Birmingham as he has dominated Atlanta
 1 Everybody is starting off we'll All the | teams look good New Orleans, with | Charlie Frank and several first-class | fingers, will be in the running. Chat l tanooga looks strong. Over in Memphis there is Bill Bernhard. and as we have always contended, Bill has everything needed by a manager. He knows the 1 game, he has laid lines as a result of which he can get good material when it | is needed. and he has that personality which inspires his men to work for him. 1 Jordan says that Atlanta will be in tho running. It might be if he spends several more thousand dollars. Dobbs has several good pitchers in Montgomery, and were it not true that something in the atmos- phere denies that town good team. we would dare to hope.
 Schwartz is a grand ball player, him. self, and has been a successful manager in other days. He might be able, there- l fore. to pull Nashville out of the rut. Holmes looks well in Mobile, and the Mobile fans are hopeful, though to the ordinary eye there Is little reason for q superabundance of hope.
 | MoleswOrth has an excellent nucleus for a first-division team in Birmingham. His
 catchers are better than last season, and his infield is better If he recovers Mes-
 senger or gets another as good as he, his
 outfield will be as good. if not better, than any other in the league. His string
 of pitchers is fair. He needs two ab- solutely dependable fingers.
 With Messenger and two good pitchers
 his chances of winning the rag would be
 as good a sthose of any other manager
 in the circuit. B. A.

 The golf tournament in progress at the Country club at. the present time, the contest being for the Drennen trophy, las been the most strenuous ever held on the club links. There have occurred more close matches, more excitement and a better time all around.

ne TO THE REPUBLICANS OF ALABAMA

The following resolutions were adopted at the Barker meeting June 23, and signed by those whose names are at tached herewith:
 The unfortunate misrepresentations on the part of certain members of our party as to the true political situation in this state, and the tendency toward internal discord, and party strife, impels those of us who subscribe our names to this paper to assemble in Birmingham this day for party conference and exchange of views.
 After mature deliberation as to the best interest of the future of our party in Alabama, we deem it advisable to make known to you the result of our confer ence, which Is:
 First-That it is both wise and expe- dient that the Hon. William H. Taft be renomnated by the national republican party as its candidate for President in 1912;
 Second-That the able and conservative manner in which Maj P. D. Barker has discharged the duties of the office of national committeeman for Alabama just ly entities him to the zealous support of our party, and we endorse him and commend him to the republicans of Ala bama for reelection to the office or national committeeman;
 Third.-That, inasmuch as the great body of the republican voters are in North Alabama. and that it Is the north ern counties of our state where the re- publicans are achieving victories, 1t is a matter of right that the next chair man of our state committee should come from North Alabama.
 Therefore, We commend to the repub- lcans of Alabama as it's next chair man, to be elected in 1912, that vigorous, energetic, able and worthy young re- publican, Pope NJ. Long, of Walker county
 Fourth-That in the future campaigns in Alabama, the greatest measure of assistance and support should be given to those counties where it Is possible
