JORDAN TO MANAGE

Chattanooga, August e. (SpeciaL)-The
recent report emanatng from Atlanta to
the effect that Billy Smith will undoubt-

has given actual existence to various ru-
mors which have latently slumbered in
this burg for several months apropos the
local managerial situation.
The conservative element of fandom
which is in a position to know are rea-
sonably certain, however, that Smith
will not be back in Chattanooga next sea-
son; not SO much that he is dissatisfied
with the treatment accorded him here or
that fandom is unduly disappointed at
The showing that he has made but be-

William Billy next season as a hypothesis
tempting to arrive at an opinion apropos
the identity of the pilot for 1913. Half
a score of men including Roy Moran, in
case he returns from the majors, Otto
Jordan, Johnny Dobbs, Miller Higgins,
Germany Shaefer, and even Bill Donovan
have been mentioned. OF all those men
toned as possibilities Jordan seems the
one best bet Dobbs would not return
here under any conditions unless there
was a change In the presidency of the
club. SINCE such change Is not at pres
ent likely Dobbs may practically be elm
mated although he is immensely popular
with local fans.

That Governor Emmett O'Neal has pre-
cipitated a hot legal fight upon himself by
allowing it to become nosed about that
he would deny the fairs of the state their
states appropriation this year, was evil
denced at a meeting of the Alabama As
ISOLATION of Fairs yesterday in the offices
of the Alabama State Fair association in
the Chamber of Commerce building.
In the session of 1911 the Alabama legis-
lature set aside the sum of $4,000 for the
use of the fairs of the state. The pur-
pose of this was to encourage agricultu-
raj and live stock exhibits. The act pro-
vided that the commissioner of agricul-
ture should make the allotments and sub
init them to the governor for approval.
After that, the different associations
should be sent their appropriations.
According to the Alabama associations
Interpretation of the act yesterday. the
governor has no right to deny the fairs
the money provided for them by the Leg
islature, his only office being to approve
the superintendent of the appropriation
by the commissioner of agriculture.
A few days ago the secretary of every
fair affiliated with the Alabama Assoc
citation of Fairs addressed a letter to the
governor calling his attention to the dis
tribution of the appropriation and a few
days later, in Interviews published in the
Montgomery papers. It was said the gov

The current month is
notable in the calendar of
the years for historical
occurrences.
August is the month
when the Spartans were
slaughtered at Thermo-
pylae, Cleopatra took her
own life, Bozzaris and Mel
son fell in the hour of vic
tory and Casabianca stood
alone on the burning deck.
1t witnessed the start of
Cortez for Mexico, the
murder of the Princes in
the Tower, the beginning
of the Seven Years War,
and the partition of
Poland. It gave birth to
book printing, the use of
Illuminating gas, tele-
graphy by submarine ca
BILE, the formal Proclama-
ton of Peace between the
Government and the Sc
ceding States, and the
protocol with Spain. It
saw Julius Caesar land in
Britain, and Napoleon in
st. Helena, New Amster-
dam surrendered by the
Dutch, Washington burn
ed by the British, Fara-
gut dashed to the rigging
in Mobile Bay, and Fort
Sumter the target of
Union guns.
Has any month a more
notable record? Yet this
list merely skins the sur
face Of it's history,
It was in August 120
