NEW YORK, April 16.-Four
baseball leagues will open their
season this week, as follows:
Northwestern league opens in
Vancouver, Seattle and Spokane
today.
Last years Eastern league, url-
der its new name international"
opens Thursday In the southern
division cities.
The New England league, made
up of eight Massachusetts, cities,

the opening day of the Western
league in Denver, Tojeka, Omaha
and st. Joseph.

Several of the local questions
have the fans guessing. Those
who can tell Just what year the
Northwestern league was inaug-
urated are not all agreed. Meth
er are those who answer the
question regarding the best ball
men turned out by Tacoma or the
best base stealers.
There's a lot of good dope in
some of the record books and
some of the old players can give
you good tips. Russ Hall Is Just
plumb full of information. Get
your answers in early.

COL. HERBERT'S NEW
 BOOK JUST ISSUED

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 The manuscript of Colonel Herbert's new book was submitted to a commit tee of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. and they said it rang true. In print. and in beautiful, clear type at that, it rings so true that am proud of those who judged it as well as of its illustrious author.
 'The Abolition Crusade and It's Con- sequences" by Col. Hilary A. Herbert. formerly congressman from the Mont gomery district, and later Secretary of the Navy in the cabinet of MT. Cleve- land In war times he was a soldier, fought in many battles and came out a colonel and with more than one wound. All his life student, who is better fitted to take a view of the great struggle between the states as broad as it is liberal and patriotic? So many things have been said and writ ten of late that in the effort to be '1ibera1" we have forgotten to be true to the old south and to history. This book reads like well told story. One does not wish to put it down. One does not forget or forego to take it up again, the soonest moment possible.
 Running through it, or sounding out of it all the way, are the echoes of loyal old southern hearts beatings, softened by time and enlightened by time, and so telling the simple truths with all kindness and charity and fidelity, even glimpses of the scrip tural love of ones enemies shining here and there.
 On behalf of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Sons of the Confectionery and of the old veterans, beg that all Alabamians, at least, will read this book. We haven't so many real writers among us.
 It is not mere service our begging and pleading and struggling all these years that history, or what claims to be history, shall speak the truth: that at best the descendants of the men who fought shall hear both sides and shall know their fathers viewpoint. Read 1t, and if you agree with me, let us go intelligently about the business of get ting it into our public schools.
 It is the ambition of Colonel Her bert that his book shall be read by the youth of his state. It is worthy and noble ambition, cherished by that one among us who has reached the highest station held by any Alabamian since 1885. MRS. CAMPBELL CORY.

Event Will Occur Saturday In Behalf of Injured
 Auto Mechanic

In order to assist Walter Gather, an injured mechanic, whose wreck at the State Fair grounds last week was the only feature to mar the big automo Saturday at the fair grounds. All of llle local automobile men are enthu- siastie for the proposition and fine races will be pulled off. Gather, while acting as a mechanic for the Chalmers driver, Lyons. The latter was unin- driven, Lyons. The latter was unin- lured, while Gather suffered one am- putated arm and the very serious in Jury of the other.
 The benefit race will be wholly free of any charges to the racers. It is stated that the fair association will give the grounds free for the benefit race.
 Gather is married and well known In Birmingham. There are many ar dent automobile race fans who will doubtless embrace the opportunity of seeing good sport and at the same time render financial aid to a popular and needy young fellow.
 Secretary F. w. Cromwell of the Au- tomobile Dealers association in an rourcing the meet yesterday said:
 The only accident which really narred the recent meet was that of yorng Walter Gather. who rode as mechanic for Cecil Lyons in big Chalmers racer The car was going al terrific rate of speed when 1t went through the fence. Gather was thrown from the car and was badly cut about the face and both arms crushed terribly, the right one having to be amputated close to the shoulder, while the left is broken in two places in the forearm.
 Every competing driver has offered to render his services to help the poor fellow out and no premiums will be offered. MT. Barr, the Stutz driver. who held the lead in the 50-mile race for 3S miles, has very kindly offered to hold his car here over Saturday and compete in order that there will be some real races. The ever famous "Bob- Stubbs will ride himself against Gale Joyce on an Indian motorcycle. Bob IS in a way out of the racing game, but he is rendering his services very will- ingly to Gather. It is expected that a great number of tickets will be sold at 50 cents each"
