 The convention bids fair to be one of tho largest held in the history of the state. Many of the counties are ap-

, ball game. Bob Ganley. who plays right field, was a big leaguer for yea and once captain of a big league bal club. Pete O'Brien, the teams regula shortstop, is declared by Hemphill be the smartest ball player alive ts day. .'Whitey Alperman, anotht Cracker infelder was for years tl brains of the Brooklyn club.

 The consequence of all this is tha the Cracker team not only knows .l side ball, but can play 1t. It is tricky resourceful club. It has enous speed on the bases to pull off any trid of the paths and there is never ar telling how far a Cracker player likely to advance on any given pla. At fielding the club is full of god stuff.

Atlanta. May 12.--(Special.)- )-Charley Hemphill, leading the oldest and most experienced team that ever played in the Southern league, will be in Bir- mingham Monday. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for games with thesBar- ons
 It wouldn't do to figure that because Hemphills team is somewhat ancient it is either slow or feeble.
 For one thing this aggregation of former big leaguers is hitting the ball harder than any other club in the Southern league. Manager Hemphill himself is the leagues leading slug ger while Ganley and O'Dell are slug ging better than 300 and four other men on the team are hitting 250 or better. From the last reports it was stealing as many bases as any other club in the league and more than three times as many as some of the clubs. Errors and weak pitching have cost the Crackers the few games they have lost, but as Manager Hemphill Is get ting both his infield and his outfield shaken down he Is tightening up the fielding, and as the season advances the pitchers are steadily improving.
 Now that the lineup has been defi- nitely decided upon Hemphill will bo able to perfect his team in the finer points of the game And when that is once done the Cracker team of 1912 will know more about inside ball than any other that ever played in the Southern league. That's a broad claim. but look them over Hemphill is ad- mitted to be one of the smartest play CTS who ever took part in a big league

NEED FAIR WEATHER
 IN THE COTTON BELT

New Orleans, May 12-Weather condi-
 tions over the belt will continue to be
 the chief influence in the cotton mar
 ket this week, so far as can be forecasted.
 Probably the question of acreage will
 come up for more consideration than
 has yet been given it. because of the
 approaching estimate by the government. The acreage report is bound to be bull
 ish, but 1t is probable that bullish ex-
 pectations will not have much effect on
 prices If the weather holds unfavorable.
 Should the weather turn good. however,
 and expectations continue to be for a sub-
 stantial decrease in the area planted to
 cotton this spring, one feature will about balnace the other. It may be that there
 will be tendency to tone down esti-
 mates of the decrease in acreage If the
 weather improves as it will be argued
 that, given the opportunity, farmers will
 plant as much as they can The acreage
 report from the government is always portant than usual and will cause more dispute than usual During the week, several of the more important private estimates of the area planted ought to come out.
 Fair weather will be needed badly in all sections of the belt east of the Mississippi this week. and unless fair weather rules very bulish crops accounts are bound to come from Alabama, Georgia and the Carolinas. In all of these states rottina of seed in the ground Is complained of and more wet weather will increase this trouble It is bound to be a weather market this week, and the market will probably display as much uncertainty as the weather.

1 stay It is not any longer a desire, but 1t is an institution. At Nashville there were present over 1000 delegates
 At the next meeting the number will | be double.
 l pr. J. Ross Snyder, a member of tho
 Birmingham delegation, is glowing in his praises of the work and the con-
 Gress, and predicts its great future.
 pr. Snyder said:
 The initial meeting of the Southern l Sociological congress held in Nashville, 1 May ' to 10, was a pronounced success | from every standpoint.
 l The conception of Gov Ben ". Hooper | Of Tennessee, this congress was called for the purpose of studying and improving social civic and economic conditions in ! the south. The call. which was issued 1 for the convention, brought together rep rest rtative men and women from every
 fobshern state. The slogan was The Solid South for a Better Nation. There were l delegates from civic organizations. charit- able organizations. church organizations, medical organizations, social service or eanizations, churches, schools and uni, versailles. The attendance was approxi- | nately 1000
 I Governor Hooper. whose unique his- l tory is probably known to your readers, l has his heart and soul in the work of l irving to better the civic and social con | ditons which deny to a large percentage
 or children the opportunity of becoming gooG and healthy citizens. It was a great ] disappointment to the congress and to Governor Hooper that the latter was un-
 able to attend. His physicians had only
 recently given him imperative orders to
 seek the mountains for recuperatiou from
 nervous breakdown.
 '"rhe most striking feature of the meet l ing was that while the spirit of reform
 characterized it's discussions and delibera- tions, the predominant element was for Thoughtful. conservative, hard-sense meth l ods rather than for lilly considered and | fanaticai chantings Some of the more
 important questions considered were vital
 statistics, tuberculosis child labor the

A number of prominent people from Birmingham attended the recent South ern Sociological congress held at Nash ville. Tenn, and speak in the highest terms of the convention and its high airn and purposes.
 The purpose of the congress was 10 discuss ways and means to improve the social. civic and economical con- ditions in the south
 It brought together representative men and women from every state in the south. men and women who are lead- CTS in humanitarian movements look ing to the betterment of humanity.
 'The Solid South for Better Ma tion" Is the slogan adopted by the con- gress and thousands of men and women are entering into a crusade for social and civic improvement. The members of the congress will not be satisfied to stop within the limits of the south, but will aim to render national serv- ices.
 At the Southern Sociological congress discussions on matters of great ini- portance are discussed in a practical. common sense manner. It is not a political or religious body. yet Ideals with the gravest and greatest ques- ions that confront not only the south but the nation today. The members of tho congress seek to lift the burdens of labor from childhood and to make education universal.
 They seek to- bring about law re- form and bring. about the best methods of dealing with the dependent, de- fective and delinquent population. They seek to bring about social reforms so as to secure for the people of the south moral as well as physical health and purity. Under this head come divorce, the money shark and intemperance.
 They seek to put public health above private wealth by waging more de- termined war against the great white plague.
 They arc calling upon the white race to prove its superior civilization by a greater degree of kindness and justice to an inferior race--the negro.
 They call upon the church to prove It's right to social mastery by an un- selfish and universal social ministry.
 The Southern Sociological congress Is a challenge to the present genera ton to show it's gratitude for the heritage bequeathed to it through the toll and blood of centuries by devoting itself more earnestly to the task of making the nationa universal brother hood. The call for men and women to volunteer for social service will be the strongest word of the congress. These are questions that make for those things that elevate and uplfft suffering and helpless humanity.

HITCHCOCK AGAINST BETTING ON GAMES Will Try and Prevent Ticket Sellers in Pools Using
 Mails
By WALTER HARPER

Washington, May 12.-(Special) J. Postmaster General Hitchcock yesterday put himself on record as a supporter of the crusade against betting on baseball games and it is promised by officials of his department that they will take whatever action necessary to prevent sel. CTS of tickets in baseball pools froin using the United States mails In their operations. Prosecutions may be pos sible under the anti-lottery law.
 "I am heartily in favor of opposing any form of betting on Baseball games because of it's tendency to demoralize the sport" said MT. Hitchcock. MT. Hitchcock seldom goes to the league games here because of his many and yarious activities, which necessarily talk e up most of his time, but he re- ,-tesisfs his interest in baseball, which he played when at college, when he de- V loped into a first -class diamond star
