FANS PICK ALL-STAR TEAMS
 IN SOUTHEASTERN LEAGUE
BY H. M. AYERS

Anniston. Jul 9.--tSpecial.)-Wit the season half over on Wednesday and all of the clubs at about their best. with few changes to be made, a Selma fan recently picked an all-star Southeastern team, the publication of which has created consider able discussion around the circuit of this little organization, which is generally re- garded as the fastest Class D league in the country.
 The team picked by the Selmian con- sisted of Lanford and Refs of Rome, Rob inson of Selma and Vickery of Decatur, pitchers; McAllister of Selma, catcher Griffin of Rome, first base; Vasterling of Selma, second base; Bowdoin of Gadsden, third base McDuff of Decatur, shortstop Chancey of Selma, left field; Dorsey of Gadsden. center field; Menges of Decatur, right field.
 It will be noticed from this selection, which is undoubtedly good one, that neither Anniston nor Huntsville has been honored by having a man thus selected. Manager Fisher of Anniston at first Is fielding and batting ahead of Griffin or any other first baseman in the league, and there is no question about his headwork.

ONLY LOCAL APPEARANCE OF ORANGE AND BLUE - SOME THING OF AUBURN'S SCHED- ULE FOR ENSUING SEASON

Followers of the Orange and Blue will Auburn is scheduled te meet the Missis- sippi A. and NJ college hf Birmingham to battle for g1idiran honors this fall. The game will be played at West End park October 2S, and if Mississippi works as hard for the palm this year as last It will be a battle royal. Ii will be re- membered that Coach Donahue's men had considerable difficulty last season fin downing the Mississippians. winning the game by the marginal score of to 0.
 Auburn plays only one game in Bir- mingham this season. For the past two years game has been scheduled with Howard to be played here, but Manager Bragg announces that the two teams will not meet this season.
 All of Auburn's dates have been filled except Saturday, November Il. No game has been scheduled for this date on ac- count of the mid-term examinations.
 The first game is scheduled to be played in Auburn October and will be played against Mercer This will be the only game to be played on the campus Mercer, as a rule, puts up a good article of ball and it is not likely that they will fail to do the same this year.
 A game between Auburn and Clemson is scheduled for october IA to be played on the campus at Clemson The South Caroinians are time-hononed enemies of Auburn having met the Auburnites on the gridiron every year since the advent of football in the south. The game is scheduled at a rather early date, but since il is to be played in Clemson, where the frost falls earlier than 1t does in Auburn, the players will not suffer quite so much from the heat as they would if the game was played nearer home. Two Texas teams are to be found on Auburn's schedule this year. The Agri- cultural and Mechanical college of Texas will be played at Dallas October 2l and November IS the University of Texas will be the drawing card at Austin, Tex Auburn has never met the Agricultural and Mechanical college, but suffered her only defeat last year at the hands oi the University of Texas.
 Georgia Tech will be played In At lanta November 4. as usual Tech and Auburn have met in Atlanta every veal for the last 1s years and the game has always proved a strong drawing card

TRAD|NGUGHT IN NC0i70N GOODS Chief Interest Was in 1912 Fine and Fancy Cot
 ton Options

New York, July s.-Trading was light in cotton goods during the past week and prices showed little change except in the case of few gray goods. Odd counts or wide print cloths receded a sixteenth of a cent from the recent top and some slight decreases were noted in the prices of . few marrow odd cloths. Otherwise the market showed little or no change in quotations. The government cotton crop report was accepted as indicating a full supply of raw material and 1t has fur ther influenced jobbers against operating at current prices for long future delivery Buyers are not numerous In the markets because of the heat and selling agents, representing mills, are not convinced that 1ower prices for cloths can be secured un- til actual cotton can be had at much lower figures, or until the margin for profit to the mills broadens in other ways.
 The chief interest of the week was in the options in fine and fancy cotton for the spring season of 1912 Prices on these cloths are somewhat lower than they
 were a year ago, despite the higher cost of staple cotton ana the Iidlneoiicu mp costs of production. Buying for the ne" season has not started in to any extent save on the novelties and extreme fancies on which orders must be placed to insure future delivery.
 The curtailment of production in cotton mills last week all over the count Y amounted to fully 50 per cent oi output and curtailfhent in a less oesl ee will be continued for some weeks 10 .on.e l by many concerns. Export traue .,,,,, tics still show a great increase or snip z

 They are going like wildfire through this league having mopped with Gadsden, De-
 catur and Selma in the first series played. They are yet to meet Anniston and Rome the two teams which are fielding and batting ahead of the league, Rome lead ing, and these leaders are expected to stop the aliens who open at Anniston Monday afternoon for three games, then go to
 Rome for the remainder of the week. If Anniston and Rome can't stop them they will likely have to be beat at the end of the season for the rag, and no one seems to doubt that they're in the running at l any odds

AUBURN WILL PLAY AGGIES
 OF MISSISSIPPI OCTOBER 28


 There are probably more alumni of the two colleges in Atlanta than any other town in the south and they rarely ever fail 10 witness the struggle in large num- bers.
 Auburn's ancient enemy, the University of Georgia, will be met in Savannah Fur key Gay This game will mark the finale of the football season for Auburn. No games can be played by Auburn after this date. as the first-term examinations begin within a few days after Thanks giving and the trustees will not allow the boys to devote any more time to the pgskin.
 Although neither Vanderbilt nor &c., vance appears on Auburns schedule, it is a hard programme, nevertheless. Both Texas teams stood high in swineskin cir ces last year and it is hardly prob able that both will lower their standards this year. The team will cover more than 1000 miles in travelling to and from the various gridirons on which it is scheduled to play.

Trough will open for Birmingham it is probable, and Kent will work tomor- row This will throw Maxwell into har- ness for tile third game.
 Then come the Guls. The Barons, In the series just concluded outplayed the Gulls, and as a matter of fact should have won all three games When the Gulls come to Birmingham the .,arons should walk away with the money, the Jackpot and everything else. !nattanooga Is still leading the Bar Chs by game. This week the Lookouts tange up with Nashville and Memphis, while Birmingham entertaines New Or- leans and Mobile
 As result of these series 1t is very probable that the clubs will still be very close 10 each other. Nashville Is going well at the present time and Memphis is always ready to strike when the anvil is hot. They should win half of the games if they play at top speed
 Should Birmingham lose the series to New Orleans--and there is reason to hone that such will not be the case-thev should settle down and trim Mobile
 So it is very probable that at the con- clusion of the week the distance between Birmingham and Chattanooga will still be very short.
 In the last few days the Quakers have undergone a slump, and it begins 10 ap- pear that the race in the National league will be between New York, Chicago anu Pittsburg, with the former the favorite The race in the American is between the Athletics and the Tigers Until recently the Highlanders were considered, but the men of Chase have been getting theirs in regular dqSes recently and unless they take on an unexpected and perma- nent plunge, they are out of it.
 In the Southeastern the race seems to be between Anniston and Gadsden. Since the importation of new players, Hunts vile has played good ball, but the new strength came almost too late.
 Gordon Hickman is pitching finely for Decatur and the same is true of Mack Robinson. Tom Fisher has pitched but one game and he won that one
 II seems that Montgomery is not going to take on it's usual slump, and may yet give the Pels a close battle.
 Let us hope that Montgomery will win the rag-if it is destined for that banner of victory to float elsewhere than Bir- mingham. H. ". R.

Crippled Barons Play Pelicans Today
POINTERS TO RANDOM

The Barons are operating under an un- lucky star, indeed. I Yesterday with Molesworth. on the bench | with strained muscle and with Ellam on I the bench with an injured foot, with Me I Gilvray in Birmingham and Wagner on | first base-with everything and every body out of whack and out of condition | Swacna threw the spikes into the flesh of "Rowdy'' Elliott,
 Some of these days, someone Is going to wish that Mobile would run it's freight out of this little league. As is remem- bered, it was in Mobile that Ellam re- ceived the jolt which broke his collar bone and put him out of the game for seven weeks.
 But in spite of these defects and these trihuations the Barons settled to the grim task of winning, and did win.
 Speer pitched a good game, the players gave him fine support and made their hits count for runs. As result, victory fell to the lot of the noble fourth -placers, and on account of the disarrangement of the lineup, victory was doubly sweet.
 II is Hopeu tndl faiidlH IS not DaQly nurt, and that Molesworth will be able to play in the New Orleans series And it is hoped that "Rowdy" Elliott did not re- ceive very serious injury.
 If he did, it will be necessary for Yantz to get behind the bat and for a pitcher to go to the outfield. If Ellam is unable to play, Wagner will probably be placed at short
 Montgomery yesterday afternoon struck New Orleans twice in the same place. In the first game Bailey was exceedingly effective, and the Billikens hit the ben ders of Breitenstein with ease. In the second game Thomas, who relieved Bailey when he weakened, held the Pels in the hollow of his arm. As result Mont gomery got away with double header.
 If New Orleans is ever to undergo a slump this season the time for the be- ginning has arrived. Montgomery start cd the good work. This morning, the Pel- leans start on their longest road trip Of the season Is 1t possible to head them?
 It is probable that Hess will open against Birmingham this afternoon and that Veasey and Fraser will follow him. It is believed the Barons by good ball playing will be able to get a couple of the three games. There is no reason why the Pellcans should trim them all the time.
