VISIT RESULTED IN
TREASURY SWELLING
Seventy-six Thousand Peo
pie Paid to See Four
Games.

Although his ball team lost all except
one OF the four games played at Fen
way Park last week against the Red
SoX, Clark Griffith left town for the
West with one recollection of the series
that certainly was happy one.
In his inside pocket "Grin" carried a
check signed by President McAleer and
Treasurer Robert McRoy, of the Bos-
ton club. for more than $1,000. the Sem
ators' share of the gate receipts for
the four games that the Washington
men played in Boston.
The four games were witnessed by
day 1900 paid to see the game, 1900
paid on Thursday, some $500 on Fri
day, and about 10000 Saturday. The
fgures refer, of course, only to those
paying to see the games, the gross at
tendance figures being several thou
sands larger than the above would
total.
These, of course. are not official fig
ures, but they are near enough.
The division of the receipts for the
major league games is brought about
very simply. The visiting club receives
half of the general admission price
that is. 12h cents for every 25-cent
bleacher patron, and 25 each for all
ticket used cost 70 cents, 81, $l.25 or
$50. The real ratio, however, is slight
ly less as the league itself. receives a
small percentage of all money taken in
at the box offices.
The receipts for the entire series be-
tween Boston and Washington must
have been very close to $4,000.
or the $4,000 paying fans, at least 49,
900 had places in the grandstand, paying
prices varying from 70 cents to $3.50.
The total receipts for the entire series
well might have reached $43, 600 or 1900.
Allowing $4,000 for the Washington s
share of the receipts, the Boston man
agement must have received between
S27 900 and SIS, 900 for itself
These figures surely do not exagger-
ate Probably more money than is
stated found its way into the Red Sox
Golfers while the Senators were here.

At the end of the last season Dr. Rob- irson. former Southern league star, and who worked for Selma last year. was drafted by New Orleans. Since .hs., he has been turned loose by Manager Frank. but as yet the fans do not know whether he will give up his practice in Isowndes county and come to Selma for the sum- mer to play baseball. Robinson is about the only man that worked on the pitch ing staff Of the Selma club last season ex- pected to report this year. and 1t is not known yet if he will report for work.
 But few of the men that composed the club of last year will report for the pre- dished out. The best of those that were will be here again. Many new men from port. Manager Stckney with several play CTS is expected to reach Selma during the first part of March and will begin to prac- tice at once.
 The fans of Selma are greatly pleased that the Decatur franchise has been To- cated in Bessemer. It will greatly strength- en the league well as reduce the cir cult, and in addition organized baseball in Bessemer will greatly help the attend ance of the Southeastern league games.
 Work around the Selma grounds at Riv- erside park was started Monday and the grounds are now being put into first class condition. Improvements to the bleachers and grandstand are also being made, and by the opening date of the season no club in the circuit will have a better home than the Selma club.

PITCHING STAFF SEEMS TO BE
 THE ONLY WEAKNESS AT SELMA

Selma. February 2S-(Special.) )-From the preseason dope which is being dished out the prospects are that Selma will have a pennant winning club in the Southeast ern league circuit during the coming sea- son.
 The men that will try for position on the club will begin to report for the prelimi- nary season during the next two weeks. It is expected that before the weeding out day arrives not less than 9 men will have been cavorting around the inclosure at Riverside park getting the winter kinks out of their joints and getting their names on the salary roll of the club.
 The balmy spring days which for the past few weeks have been sandwiched be- tween mid winter weather is causing anx- iety among the ball fans of the city. has enlvened the winter months for the ball season will be welcomed by all. The fans are anxious to see the recruits don the Selma uniforms and begin to unlimber at the ball park.
 But while it has been asserted that many as 9 men will be in Selma during the practice season and try for place on the local club the fans are wor- ried somewhat about the hurling corps of the club. In that direction no infor- nation has been forthcoming and the names of the men who wifi try for the pitching positions are a mystery.

Walking, Talking and Eating

Our grandfathers can tell us that the men and women of today walk fas- ter and talk faster, as rule. than their ancestors. The tendency In large and busy cities is toward speed in almost everything. The young. unless restrained, walk rapidly and excitedyl Unless checked they eat fast--too fast for health or good manners-and many boys and girls "rattie off" their words.
 The most nerve wearing of all habits, perhaps. is a rapid walk. A gait of moderate speed can be acquired and it is well worth acquiring. People, old and young, can and should cultivate slow eating. As to talking, it Is not easy for eXcitable young folks to speak in conversation with deliberation, but even distinct, normal speech can be &C., quired by effort. But above all things, girls should be taught to carry them selves with ease and grace and to keep their feet well on the ground when they walk

CHARGES SENATOR DUPONT IS CORRUPT Senator Reed Asks an Investigation of His
 Election

Washington, February 2S.-Evidence heard by the Senate judiciary commmittee in it's inquiry into the appointment of c. P. Swain as United States marshal for Delaware was laid before the Senate to- ing the passage of his resolution provid- ing for an investigation of the election of Senator Dupont of Delaware.
 Senator Reed insisted that if this evi- dence were given credence the Senate not only should investigate the 1910 election, but should demand of the Delaware sen- ator an explanation of his action in rec ommmending for appointment to the high office of United States marshal a man whom he knew to be engaged in corrupt practices"
 pointed Cornelius P. Swain United States marshal for the district of Delaware, and sent that appointment to the Senate for confirmation. according to the senator. Tho appointment was reported to the Senate by the committee and on the day it reached the Senate it was confirmed. he said.
 Citizens of Delaware protested to the Senate With the result that the action of approval was rescinded," he continued "Thereupon the matter was referred to the commmittee and an investigation de- manded by citizens of Delaware was held.
 These citizens charged that on Mo- veEber l. 1910, meeting was held in the office of Henry A. Dupont and T.. Cole man Dupont at which between s50.OoO and s6oOo0 was distributed for the purpose of corrupting the electorate of the state, and that an additional sl0o00 was to be given out on the Monday preceding the Tuesday on which the election was held that Swain took 3a00o of this money to PhilH-

TechnOlOgical Institutions

A prominent Virginia capitalist who came as a visitor to Birmingham a few days ago remarked that this city should be the seat of a large school of tech nology. When he was told that school of engineering and mines was a part of the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa and that that school was being well fos- tered by the state, he said such a depart ment would doubtless meet the industrial needs of this section
 Four or five years ago a technical school movement was started here. A meeting of prominent citizen was held, a committee was appointed and other steps were taken to establish technological in stitution in Birmingham. But when it was considered that a technical branch was being developed at the university it was decided that such a school, only SO miles from the city of Birmingham, would be practically equivalent to being in Bir- mingham.
 This state has an excellent technological institution at Auburn; but at the univer- sity engineering has long been an import ant branch of education. And now that an engineering hall has been built and various branches of engineering are in- cuded in the university system, it should be only question of few years when fine results could be shown there
 The recent visit of pr. R. C. MacLaur!n, president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology-the Boston 'Tech"-as the guest of the local alumni. gave de- cided stimulus to the whole question of technical education. Those who had the pleasure of hearing his address, or the larger number of persons who heard about it afterwards. took a fresh interest in the subject. Every intelligent person understands the value of technical equip ment for men in all indust trial districts. And in comparatively recent years tech nically trained men have been in demand in every business on the face of the earth. But in the almost feverish rush for industrial education the classics should not be ignored Some great educators have made a mistake in suggesting that in this modern age the old "humanities" should give way entirely to studies having only a practical side. To push the tech nical to the exclusion of the purely cul- tural would be most serious error. and fortunately for humanity the consensus of opinion stresses the importance of academic courses as a preparation for the scientific and the technical. A high class engineer or chemist or biologist should be an accomplished and convincing writer. He should be master of his language With these desultory observations on a live topic here, l will give the reader a rest and get to another subject.

BAUMGARDTNERT TO BE FIELD
 CAPTAIN FOR BESSEMER TEAM

Tommy Perkins. the other recruit, is also well known in this city He played last year in the T. c. l. league at Ems ley and did nicely. He will play sec ond base on the Bessemer nine. ai- though short is his regular position. He is said to be good batter, a fast man and a fine fielder. He is just about the size of Artie Phelan, who played on the 1911 Baron team, weighing about So pounds and standing about feet in height. It Is not known just how well he will go in the Southeastern, but 1t is probable that he will land a regular berth.
 The owner states that he will have the fastest infield that ever cavorted ion a Southeastern diamond and declares that his squad will land the pennant He believes that Bob Baumgardtner is sure to prove a sensation in the South eastern, and that ne will go to the big league the following season. When the roll is called on March 25 about 25 ball players will report for practice.
