Sudden Interest

q do not understand this sudden zeal in the interest of a state primary You will remember that the national commit- tee left the question of a primary for the republican organization in each state to settle for itself, and our state committee settled it January II last. Why did you not then present to the committee the proposition you now offer? Why have you waited to the last minute. just be- fore the convention itself meets? In fact, is your conversion not recent happen ing? Surely you recall the noteworthy primary proposed six years ago, when no one participated. and which was such monumental failure? I recall distinctly that at the meeting of the executive com mittee of the Ninth congressional dis trict, held in Birmingham less than a month ago, you and Judge Hundley dhe eminent legal adviser) engineered split in the district committee at that meeting, and neither of you then advocated or urged a primary as applied to the Ninth district. As a matter of fact, you pro- vided for a convention Was this conver- sion since that meeting? =
 Your proposal comes late very late. indeed. Yet I now invite you to be pres ent at the meeting of the state republican executive committee in the city hall in Birmingham tomorrow, March [, 1912. at 10 o'clock a. m., and ask that you then and there in person present to the com mittee the proposal you make in your let ter of today. Their reply shall be my am swer, and both you and cannot do other than decently abide by their decision. Will you? Yours very truly.

TAGALIE WINS THE ENGLISH DERBY BY
 FOUR LENGTHS LEAD

Epson Downs. Eng. June 5.-Tagalie, d gray Ally owned by w. Raphael, and running at 100 to 8. won the derby today with L. Newmanns Jaeger second, four lengths behind. and August Belmont's 8 brown colt. Tracery, third, a scant two lengths away. The Kings horse, Pint adeau, was fourth.
 King George and Queen Mary and q host of others saw the running of the derby which, through the defeat of the favorlte, Sweeper II. owned by the Amer ican, II. B. Duryea, will go down in his tory as one of the most disappointing not only to Americans who believed 1t almost certain that the American horse owned and ridden by an American would have TO difficulty in winning the classic event, but to the great bulk of the British pub lie. who had placed their money on the American entry.
 From the start, however, MT. Duryea' s colt had no chance. Danny Maher, who had the mount, had studied Sweeper II, and got him into a position from which, when the call was made it was expected that he could easily extend himself and outstrip his adyersarles Maher counted without Johnny Reiff, another American iokey, who rode Tagalie. Reiff had won the derby with Richard Crokers Orby in 1907. and he repeated the performance to- day. When the tape fell Reff took the Ally to the front and kept her there un- til the finish Tagaie was the only lilly in the race and the first gray to win the dreby since 1921.
 An even greater surprise than Tagalie's s victory was the performance of MT. Bel

By HUGH ". RonERrs

Yesterday morning somewhere In The Age Herald a prediction was made that Bill Trough would round to" and mak e the Barons an excellent pitcher.
 For some reason the majority of that variety of baseball fans which gathers on the corners and talks baseball in- sisted that the remarks in reference to Trough must have been written by the office boy.
 It seems to be the prevailing opinion among fans and scribes that Trough is and will be a failure. That opinion is unfounded.
 At the present time three Baron fingers are in excellent form-Hard- grove. Boyd and Foxen. That trio has won the great majority of the games which repose in the locals column of victories.
 Some of these days some member of that trio is going to weaken. This is not in the nature of a reflection, but is intended simply as a statement of fact. When the weakness develops the Barons will continue to move along just as they are now moving.
 Bill Trough is coming to the rescue. There is no reason why he should not. Last season he had everything and, as a matter of fact, was the best pitcher on the local staff. He will be as good as any other this season.
 .ss
 Trough has everything. His speed is greater than that of any other South ern league box artist. He has a fine curve. his drop being wonderful. He has control far better than the aver age
 We do not contend that Trough will ever be a satellite in the big show. But he will certainly deliver the goods for Birmingham in the Southern league.
 The impression seems to be well es- tablished that the Barons are not as strong in pitchers as In other depart ments of play. We do not agree.
 At the present time there are none go- Ing better than Foxen, Boyd and Hard grove. Trough has everything and will Molesworth has a very worthy finger
 But we have strayed from the sub ject. In conclusion, therefore. We will risk one eye at any rate on the abil- ity of Trough. If he doesn't make good before the season is over we will get off the hill and let some other man who can pitch succeed.
