SOUTHEASTERN LEAGUE
 EXPECTS FINE SEASON

The directors of the Southeastern league returned home yesterday. As a result of their work in Birmingham Thursday night the little circuit Is just about prepared to begin its second sea- son.
 From the statements of the several presidents the indications are that the league will be fast in 1912, although there is no doubt but that every club will remain within the salary limit-whicn was not the case last season.
 The season will open April 15 and close August 2i, the schedule to embrace 114 games. As either Bessemer or Ensley will be a member of the circuit, the schedule will not be drawn up until after the adoption of the Southern league schedule. There will be as few conflicts between the Southeastern and Southern schedules as possible.
 Opening games will be played in Gads. den, Huntsville and either Bessemer or Ensley. The Fourth of July games will be played in either Besserher or Ensley, Selma and Anniston.
 The clubs. 1t was stated, are just about ready Tor business. Each president be- lieves that he will he in the running in 1912. B. R. Howard of Selma is espe- cially optimistic. as arc C. H.

NEGRO FOUND
 UNDER DOORSTEPS

While going out of his back door last night, c. B. Forbes, 2320 Highland ave- nue, discovered well dressed negro hid- den under his back doorsteps. He took charge of the negro and called for the officers. Policemen Brent and Darnell went to the house and placed the negro under arrest.
 The negro gave his name as Lee Blount. He stated that he had formerly worked as butler for gentleman on South High lands. but had been out of work for about three weeks A bank book was found on him showing a deopsit made in local bank yesterday of $2O The ne- gro had about S6 on him at the time of the arrest.
 The officers believe that this negro is responsible for many burglaries which have occurred on the southside recently. The epidemic of burglares on the High lands has existed for about three weeks MT Forbes will swear out warrant for the negro thls morning. he states, charg- ing him with tresspassing.

good men, but yet hardly in the B, A. c. guards class. Harrison has played with the Atlanta team for the past five years.
 As the season draws to an end the talk starts of who will be all-southern basket ball players. It is probable that two men on the B. A. C. will be named for those positions. Seals, the guard who is now out of the, game with injuries, will be named universally as one of the two al- southern guards. The other man who will be mentioned is the hefty center on the B. A. C. team, Gilbert Ritchie. These men are undoubtedly all-southern play CTS, as none have been seen locally as yet who were in their class.
 It is thought that Lewis and Teddy of Columbus will probably be mentioned for the all-southern team, and tlfat Forbes of Atlanta will be named by some scribes. The picking of an all-southern team is usually done by sporting scribes in every large town in the south, and of course is not always authentic.
 The game tonight promises to be good, and 1t is probable that the house will be packed. Up to date a large number of tickets have been sold. This game, to- gether with the Columbus team, is the most popular and the best patronized of the season.

game that will likely be one ol the most interesting of the season will be played at S:30 o'clock tonight al the Birmingham Athletic club when the southern champions will tackle the strong Atlanta Athletic club basketball team. The dope favors the local ath- letics to win, but all expect an eX- ceedingly close game.
 Both teams are in the pink of con dition. Seals is the only player on the Athletic club team who will not be in condition to play here tonight. He was injured the last time the Athletic club played the Atlantans in Atlanta. The probable line up of the Athletic club will be McGowan and Satterfield, forwards; Gilbert Ritchie, center; Wharton and Nesbit, guards. The At lanta Athletic club line up will prob- ably be Forbes and Carter. forwards Griffen. center, while Harrison and DuBard will play at guard.
 The Athletic club had a more diff cult proposition In defeating the At lanta team than it had when the Co., lumbus team was played. The Athletics

, defeated the Columbus team by the score of 2S to 22, while the score against Atlanta was but 22 to IT. On the Atlanta team one of the forwards Forbes-is strongly mentioned for southern forward He is very good man and should go well in the game tonight. Carter, the other regular guard, Is a man of merit and proved to be a dangerous man at the last fight. He was a player who was ex pelled from the game for rough play ing. Harrison is another man who is an able player, who will probably ac- company the team.
 Griffen, the center on the A. A. C. team, is just feet 1 inches tall. He Is able to get the jump upon any cen ter In Dixie and has always been d valuable man to his team on this ac count. Besides being good jumper he is fair shooter and an excellent guard. Gilbert Ritchie the star center on the Athletic club had trouble in losing Griffen in the last fight, but will probably show him up tonight
 The guards on the Atlanta team are good men and should give the B. A. c. forwards a little trouble. Harrison and DuBard are the youngsters. Both are ex perienced and are said to be corking

MISS FITZ GERALD GIVES
A FEW DEFINITIONS

Marie V. FitzGerald in her recent talk
before the Theater Club in New York was
asked for a few definitions by the mem.
bers Of the club, and, as Miss FitzGerald
said, why be serious in spring?" these
are a few which were delivered on the
spur OF the moment:
A manager is a man who wears a high
hat evening clothes, and diamonds every
evening.
What is an audience? An audience is a
he or she separated from two dollars for
an orchestra chair.
What is a treasurer? A treasurer Is a
young man who admires people who for
get their change.
What Is a supernumerary? A supernu-
merary is an extra who is always in the
soup 50 far as the rest Of the company Is
concerned.
What is q press agent? A press agent
is a person possessed OF eternal patience
and with hopes that blue pencils may go
out OF style.
What is. a successful play? Twenty-Five
per cent tears. g per cent seriousness.
and 80 per cent laughter constitute an
excellent prescription for a successful
play. Avoid mental dyspepsia and intel
lectual Indigestion. Be optimistic.
Most important Of all, what is a dram
attic critic and how may he be dIstin-
guished?
A dramatic critic Is a marvellous man
possessed OF an alluring array OF amazing
adjectives. He can be distinguished upon
entering this world by the fact that in
stead Of cooling and gurgllng. saying
goo" for good and boo for beautiful,
he enunciates most distinctly ''r-r -r-n"
for rubbish and m" for rotten.
