lar, two large rooms for restaurant
and grill room, and a barber shop.

The custom OF owners in design
ing a building is to sacrifice art and
very often comfort for the sake of
space and employment of every foot
Of ground. Mr.. Hurt had the new
building laid out on precisely the con-
trary principle.
The point formed by Edgewood
avenue and Exchange place win be
sacrificed by the owners for 30 feet
back from the apex in order that
great open court and wide roadway
may remain in front of the building
and in order that a magnificent per-
spective may be offered by the front
of the structure,

Product Is Used.

All the marble and tile work in the
new Hurt ONCE Building at Edge
wood avenue and Exchange place has
been done by r G. Parker, marble
and tile contractor with office at $40
American Building, Birmingham.
This job has called for many express
sions of admiration and approval,
particularly in regard to the hand
some rotunda which forms the main
entrance to the building.
There are some $4,000 square feet
OF interior marble work, the most
artistic of which is probably in the
main entrance. This marble came
from Alabama and Vermont, while
the exterior marble on the arcade is
a Georgia product.
Mr.. Parker executed the beautiful
carving, which is one OF the first at
fractions TO catch the eye. This work
has been pronounced among the most
intricate and pleasing Jobs that has
ever been executed here.

The report that the Hilltop track

ADVISERS
TO PROVIDE JUMPS
Tech and Business Receive Per-
mission for Jenkins to As
sist in Game Today.

Whether or not the high school facul-
ty advisers will see fit to appoint an
other umpire to help Collffower after
todays game is a matter Of conjecture
among the players taking part in the
championship games.
At the present time the advisers have
given but one man a chance in the
series and the Business and Tech team
agreed upon Captain Jenkins as the sec
ond umpire today.
The advisers agreed upon the second
man, although it is understood that he
will receive no pay from the advisers.
In the first game of the series 1t was
noted that another man was necessary
to handle the game, and, despite this
apparent and glaring fact, the advisers
failed to provide another umpire.
Business and Tech, having gotten to-
gether, received permission to allow
Captain Jenkins to work with Umpire
Colliflower, and the two will handle the
game today at the park.
The boys are not against Colliflower.
as he has so far done good work, but
they feel that they have not been given
the consideration due them. and ask for
fall, when the high school faculty ad-
visers failed to provide proper football
officials.
In today's game the StenoSraphers
will use Kelley. who pitched against
Eastern in the first of the series, while
Tech will probably use Dudley. The
Tech youngster pitched excellent ball
against Western on Saturday and Tech
is counting on winning today's contest.

JEFF TESREAU GETS
POOREST OF STARTS
Giants TwirIer Upsets All Dope
by Getting Hammered in
Two Games So Far.

NEW YORK, April 3o.-BasebalI is
full OF upsets, as the records Show.
Prior to the opening of the season fans
confidently expected that Big jeff Tes-
reau, Of the Giants. would start right
or the reel and pile up a string Of con-
secutiye victories. Instead, McGraw's
mammoth spitballer dropped the opener
to the Boston Braves. being driven from
the slab while dropping 1t, and then, on
his first appearance In a relief role, al
lows the opposition to come from be-
hind and win out.
Tesreau undoubtedly will win a great
number Of games for the McGrawites
this year. and possibly may surpass his
1912 record. There Is one record he
made in 1872 however. that he cannot
possibly equal, even though the season
is still in its infancy. That record re-
lates to home runs. Last yea- only one
National League player made a homer
of Big JEFF, who worked in A3 innings,
equivalent to twenty-seven complete
games. On Terseau's first two appear
ances on the slab this season he labored
for just seven stanzas, and in that time
was located for two four-baggers. John
Titus was the lone National Lacquer
who cIouted for the circuit off Tesrcau
las. season. the present Bostonian. then
Phillie, making his rour-bagser in
the game played on May 2.
The players who poled homers Off
Tesreau this year were Bill Rariden,
who used to be Rube Marquard's back
stop when the tall portsidcr was with
Cantol, and J. Carlisle Smith, who
startet the season in sad fashion, since
Tom Seaton whitfield him thrice. De-
spite the fact that Tesreau has had two
home runs made Off him in less than
one full game. he undoubtedly will re-
main on the Giants payroll all season
long. and will receive the consideration

BROOKLYN, April 3o.-Mathewson
and Rucker were the opposing forces in
yesterdays to 0 defeat Of the Dodgers
by the Giants, the game going into the
thirteenth inning before run was sent
across the plate by either team. A bat
ting rally in the unlucky session
scored six batters for the Giants. end
ing the game, and the two pitchers had
finished probably the greatest battle Of
their lives.
Rucker was not located by New
York batter until the eighth inning,
when Murray. first up for the Giants,
made the first bingle. but was later
caught stealing. Mathewson connected
in the ninth, but was forced out, and
Shafer got a safety in the. twelfth, but
was counted out a robber. Mathewson
was hit freely, ten times, but every
time the Brooklyners got a good start
they were stopped by a fast double play.
Doyle opened the thirteenth with a
double. and Murray followed with an in
field tap. A double, two singles, and a
Cincinnati base hit followed quickly, and
with four runs and six hits counted.
Rucker was relieved. Two outs and
hit off Stack brought the total up to
six runs. Score by innings:

W. 2. Bradley. owner Of the Rich.

and willing to pay the fine Of 500 placed
by Manager Griffith on Doc Ayers.
Ayers learned from Griff just before
the club left for Philadelphia that he
must stand a fine OF 800 before he would
be allowed to play baseball. Griff was
firm with the youngster, who immedi-
ately left for Richmond.
Owner Bradley says he needs Ayers,
that the pitcher. when going right, is a
winner for him, and that mere matter
Of 500 Is not going to stand in the way

Ty Cobb Traps Ball
And Collins Scores

DETROIT, Mich, April 3o.-Had Ty

the Tigers would at least have had a
win today. The Detroit stars debut
was marked by a sensational throw
home in the twelfth which failed to
head off Collins with the winning run.

Cobb's throw to the plate was con-
fession that he had trapped the ball,
although all OF the players maintained
that he had caught the fly. White. who
started in to pitch for the SoA. was
taken cut in the eighth, and the Tigers
tied the score in the ninth.
Benz weakened in the twelfth, after
he had relieved Russell, and the Tigers
added a run. Two were made by the
Sox in the twelfth. Benz getting to first
