upIIft Of Baseball.

A ball game on a summer afternoon
serves to take mans mind from rou-
tine matters and refreshes him. 1t
gives him an outlet for his feelings as
well, for the opposing team and the
umpire are the scapegoats of Ameri-
can grouches. But for the boys there
is another aspect of baseball. The
player who ranks high must be In
good physical condition and he can
not be in such condition unless he
cares for himself in the proper way

"Tony, you don't need a vacation" ="
answered the boss.
yes, boss, like haf vacashun," re-

What do you want with a vaca-
tion? If give it to you, Tony, you will
go back to the old country, blow alt
your money, and then come back
broke. You had better stay here"

repeated Tony. I'm going to get

thing approaching perfection comes
only with abstemious living, these
young hero worshippers win be in

WEATHERLY GIVES
NO INSIDE FACTS
Tells Some of the Things He
Found Out on Recent
Trip to Capital

James Weatherly, member of the city
commission, has been unusually re-
ticent since his visit to Montgomery.
II saw Governor o'Neal," stated he.
but our conversation concerning an
extra session of the legislature was
entirely academic. During this discus
sion l was busily engaged In a game
of bridge whist, and, to tell the truth,
have forgotten what the governor
really did say about the extra session.
And having spoken. Mr.. Weatherly
looked straight into the face of third
gentleman who was present and wick
edly winked.
II ran down a rumor, all right
enough" he finally added you know
that it has been currently reported that
the supreme court would make an ad-
verse decision in the case against Judge
Lane, based on the claims of certain
people that he is serving without con-
stitutional reasons. 1t was reported that
Judge Anderson would deliver the
opinion and that it would be of suf-
fcient force to cause Judge Lane to
abdicate"
At this moment, Mr.. weatheriy was
informed that the same report was in
in Tuscaloosa.
YES, everywhere" continue Mr.
Weatherly. "Well, l saw Anderson. He
denied | was then informed that the
opinion would be written by Judge de-
/ saw that Justice, and he
stated that he had scarcely begun on
this labor l learned. Furthermore, that
the justices have not even consulted
together. 1t ~will, therefore. be some
little time before the verdict is rem
dered"
But Mr. Weatherly declined to say
Just what the governor had told him
the probability of an extra
session of the Legislature.

Wallace Comments on Appropriate
ness of Celebrating Inauguration
of Southern President

Acceptances of the invitations of the
Birmingham Newspaper club for the in
auguraI celebration banquet on the
evening of Thursday, March 49, are
rolling in rapidly, and several of those
who have notified the officers of the
club that they would be present, have
written letters of congratulation. The
plan of the club to celebrate the in
auguration of a democratic and south
ern President, and the return of the
south to its long SINCE abandoned In
dustry of making Presidents is general
lily commended.
John II. Wallace, fish and game com
missioner of the state. In a letter to
the club, states that 1t Is proper that
the occasion be celebrated, for he holds,
that Wilson will SO splendidIy con-
duct his administration that he will be
succeeded by another democrat and an
Alabamian at that.
Mr. Wallace writes:
February II, 1913.
"Gentlemen-Permit me to express
to the Birmingham Newspaper club,
through you, my sincerest gratitude
llOT the very kllu lnFltdllOn Il nave re-
ceived from the invitation committee
of this organization to attend the ban
quet which your club will give in cele-
bration Of the Inauguration of Presi-
dent Wilson. 1t affords me pleasure
to accept, and I sincerely hope that it
will be possible for me to attend your
very timely celebration
1T is eminentI appropriate that the
south should celebrate the inaugura-
tion of our next President, with paeons
of great rejoicing. The fidelity, the
loyalty of the southern democracy has
held the democratic party together and
made 1t possible for our great party
Organization, composed OF patriotic
citizens, to win the triumphant victory
we achieved last November The south
is pre-eminently in the saddle, and con-
|ditions are most propitious for the
nomination and election of an Alabam-
ian as successor of President Wilson.
anticipating glorious time on the
occasion of your Forthcoming banquet

IN THE RACING RULES

Chicago. February 1s.-Proposed
changes in the racing rules of the
American Trotting association came
near disrupting the organization at a
special congress today.
The first fight, which lasted an hour
and half, was on the admission Of
proxy votes. The proxies finally were
allowed to be admitted.
The next struggle was over the
adoption of rule one of the long list
of rules TO govern racing under the
suspiees for the 1918 season. These
rules were revised, rearranged and
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-02-19

amended by the committee on rules last
month and were recommended for adop
tion today.
Rule one declares that all trotting
and pacing races shall be governed ay
the rules and bylaws, and members
shall not adopt or be governed by rules
or bylaws which conflict with them.
This means that the rules must not be
amended to fit local conditions and en-
this point the agreement conferred
Charles Downey of indianapolis finally
moved that rule one be deferred until
all other rules should be acted on and
his motion prevailed.
