o score of goals to o.
Drury of the All-stars was the star of
the contest, making two of the four goals.
The two teams were well matched In
field work. but the Atlanta athletes were
weak In kicking goals.
The first half was flercely contested.
and 1t was not until the iast few minutes
that a score was made. II II had not
teen for a tumble the half would have
ended scoreless. Drury OF tho All-stars
the ball slipp through his hands for
a score A few minutes later this half

other goal. From then on Birmingham
was the aggressor in the contest.
The best play of the game occurred
after IS minutes had been played. Alex

to Drury, who instantly kicked his Sec
ond goal. A few minutes later Muir
Kicked the fourth goal ending the seor-
ing.

PRESIDENT BAUGH WIRES PRES
IDENT COLEMAN TO MAKE IL
FINE ONE-COMPLIMENT
FOR KAyANAUGH

a bunch of flowers for the judge
It will not be an ordinary bunch, how
ever. for the Southern league clubs have
never been known to do anything IN q
shoddy fashion.
Instead it will be magnificent norai
design which will be reposing on the desk
Of Judge Kavanaugh as he steps into
the Senate chamber for the purpose OF
taking the oath of office as senator from
Arkansas.
President T. P. Coleman of Memphis
originated the scheme, and all the clubs
readily Joined with the leader of the
Memphis Turtles.
President Baugh wired Mr.. Coleman:
..rhink your idea exceedingly fine. Make
the design magnificent
From the design will be hanging eight
streamers, each bearing the name of a
Southern league city.
And Birmingham's name, of course, will
head the list.

will continue their rapid pace set last
fall, and be fighting for the coveted rag
when the frost falls next season.
Jim Callahan believes that Big Ed
Walsh Will be better than ever next
season. and TINT the White Sox are
going to take again their high stand
ing which they held so continuously
few years ago.
Hughey Jennings claims that he has
the greatest aggregation of youngsters
corra1led by any big league club. and
that he Is going to put enough young
blood on the diamond to keep the old
heads on the run throughout the sen
son.
Clark Griffith is still of the opinion
that the Senators had no right to be
nosed out of the rag last season after
winning II contests in row. and that
next summer the winning streak will
be prolonged indefinitely.
George Stovall says tho St. Louis
Browns have grown weary of being tha
goats of the league, and that with his
team upholstered by Dee Walsh. Der
rill Pratt and other ex-Southern league
phenoms. he Is going to make the st.
Louis club formidable contender
throughout the coming season.
And there you are.
Each manager has his reasons why
his club should win the rag. but each
also has several reasons why he should
lnot-namely the seven other managers.
However, everyone concerned seems
to be satisfied. and IL is likely that the
American circuit will stage a lively
battle from opening day to the last in
ming of the last game during the COM
ing season.

-HERE will be perplexed squad of
\ the Southern league. From their
squads of nearly 30 veterans and re-
cruits. the pilots will have to diminish
the number to IS without ever having seen
them contest in the gruelling and nerve

least this Is the surmise of Chubby Carl
ton Molesworth.
TT would be for the better interests
of the league writes the Baron Pilot
from his farm in Frederick, Nd, IF the
ruling which the league moguls enacted
at the hectic session in Birmingham
which provides that all managers mnst
cut their roster TO IS men on opening
day would be abiloshed. The managers
of the respective teams of the Southern
league will guess at random when they
select the men on opening day.
..The league fathers ask an almost i'm

axiom in the realms of baseball that
one cannot Judge tho abilities of a
player in his success in an exhibition

bowler has no more right to use Il
loaded ball-which simply suggests a
loaded dice used by a crooked gambler
than Christy Mathewson, Ed Walsh,
Walter Johnson or Joe Wood would have
to use a loaded baseball when pitching
to the big batters of the National and
American leagues.
Just why the alleged champions of the
trick ball, in the face of so much ad-
verse criticism, continue to fight for his
retention is a matter difficult to fathom,
but one thing Is certain. the Dodo is
doomed and will see is finish as herein
predicted, when the time comes for its

New York. New Haven and Hartford
railroad and the Grand Trunk of Canada,
and Alfred w. Smithers, chairman of the
Grand Trunk board, were expected to be
handed up by the federal grand jury this
afternoon.
The three were recently indicted for al
legged participation in monopoly agree
ment'' between the two roads in viola
ton of the Sherman antitrust law, but
counsel for the defendants subsequently
filed plea Of abatement, charging that
one of the grand jurors was not a resi-
dent Of New York and that he invalidat-
ed the indictment.
To meet this situation it was said to-
day that the government had substituted
another grand juror and planned thus to
insure the validity of the proceedings

BOSTON. January 16.-William J. Mon
ague, who deserted the routine of army
life for the career of a hold-up" man,
was brought into court today and held
in $1,000 bail for the grand jury.

delphia tend to confirm the young mans
boasts that he operated successfully in
those cities. In his diary he had credit
ed himself also with robberies in New
York. Buffalo and Cleveland. He Wis
tied only express and railroad ticket Of
fees.
Montague came to town on Tuesday and
registered at a first-class hotel as William
J. Clayton. He spent two days looking
over the town before deciding to attempt
the robbery of an uptown ticket office.
His selection was an unfortunate one, for
when he entered the place last evening
there were half a dozen persons present,
one of whom slipped out a rear door and
gave the alarm
Clatras He Is Gentleman Bandit.
In describing his exploits to the police
today Montague was particularly anxious
that they should understand that he was
a gentleman bandit. He robbed only
those who could afford to lose.
Il never took from the poor" he said
proudly, my game was those who had
more than they needed. For instance, in
Pittsburgh, when l held up an Office
there, an employe told that the 81 l
had taken from MIN was all he had. /
promptly handed it back to him.
Monague ,said that in rObbing an office
in Cleveland he could find no rope with
which to tie the clerk. Il told him to
xx-fnd cord
land after he had handed it to me, L
bound him securely.
I'm Philadelphia, where I obtained $12I,
sent back $l.27, so they would be able
to make change in the morning."
Montague is only twenty-five years old
