Departments of Army
Are Asked.
OFFICIALS SILENT ON SUBJECT

These are days Of preparation in the
War Department An unusually large
number of specifications are being sent
out inviting bids for supplies OF all kinds,
particularly quartermaster's stores. 1t is
also known that the Ordnance Depart

big supplies of powder. 1t was learned
yesterday that for some time the Quar-
teTmaster's Department has been max
ing up a list of the merchant vessels
and other privately owned craft that
could be converted into transports with
out much expense or delay.
This air of preparation permeates the
whole War Department, but orders have
been issued against any one talking with
official authority on the subject Appa-
rently the administration has determined
to be prepared for an emergency and
not be found in the condition that the
country was in just before the Spanish
American war

WILSON Is FIRM
ON BANKING BILL
President Indicates He VIII
Brook No Change IN Cur
rency Measure.
OWEN AT WHITE HOUSE
Chairman of Senate Committee Is
Not Able to Set Date \
of Report.

II becomes daily more. evident that
President Wilson'S views on banking
and currency legislation are most clearly
defined. He is not disposed to concede
even the suggestion of change in the
Glass measure. He again has Indicated
10 the members OF the Senate Committee
on Banking and Currency that he will
hew close to the line, and that pro-
jected changes in the measure. whether
In details or in fundamentals, will prove
only causes for displeasure on the part
Of the administration.
The amendment voted into the bill
by the committee before its adjournment
Saturday, by which the number of re-
gional banks was reduced from twelve TO
four, even with the proviso that at the
end of two years the Federal reserve
board may increase the number to the
original dozen. Is not acceptable at the
White House.
The President has let il be known that
the sections of the bill relating to sub
scriptions for capital stock In the new
regional reserve banks must stand as
passed by the House. He does not favor
this stock being underwritten by the
national banks and subscribed for by
the general public. The Glass bill pro-
vides that the stock must be subscribed
compulsorily by the member banks Of
continuously thereafter owned by such
banks. This, in the opinion Of the Pres
ident, must stand.
"Not ON Pivot"
The President yesterday explained his
steadfast adherence to the Glass bill by
saying that he was not standing on a
pivot swinging to and fro on any legisla-
tive proposition, and that, when he out
lined a policy Of procedure, he did not
mark il in chalk, which might he rubbed
out. He indicated that the structure of
the Glass Bill was satisfactory to him
in every respect, and that structural
changes of any sort would meet, not
only with his disapprobation, but his
active opposition.
Chairman owen, OF the Senate Commit
tee on Banking and Currency, was an
early caller at the White House yester-
day. His interview with the President
was brief, and 1t was explained that the
purpose of his call was formally to noti-
fy the President Of the committees over
election recess. He was not able to set
a date for the report of the currency
bill.

University, May 31.-(Special.)-V. Hugo
Friedman, graduate manager of athletics
of the University of Alabama, today an
nounced the football schedule for the sea-
son of 1913. The varsity programme Is
being received with great favor here on
account of the fact that local followers
of the great college sport will have oppor-
tunities to see the crimson jerseyed glad
iators in four contests, two of which will
be with the strong teams of Clemson and
the University of Tennessee. The game
with Clemson on October IA will give a
good opportunity of estimating the
strength of the team early in the sea-
son, while the one with Tennessee on
November IA will give good line on the
outcome of the Thanksgiving Day con-
test
The only other cities which will have
a chance to see the Alabamians in action
are Birmingham with three games and
New Orleans and Jackson with one game
each. The first game in Birmingham will

SOUTHERN RACE is
GROWING EXCITING;
SIX CLUBS PUNCHED
From the Angle Of the Bug
BY HUGH W. ROBERTS

T times, the fans are prone
~ to criticize unnecessarily
the Barons because they
have not acquired and held high
position in the first division.
Inasmuch as last season we won
the pennant without material ef-
fort, the general impression is that
Birmingham should forge ahead
and stay ahead. The idea will
soon strike home. however, that
there are several other good clubs
in the league. and that it is the
fine resistance of these other good
clubs which prevents the Barons
from mopping.
AS a matter of fact, the indica-
tions are that We are going to be-
hold a race this season. You may
scan your eye over the standing,
and see the reason for that state
ment. Six clubs are punched Be-
tween the club in second and the
club in seventh place, there is no
wide chasm. As a matter of fact,
the distance might be spanned in
a week.
The Barons are playing finely.
Out of the last 16 games they have
turned total of IL victories. No
finer record has been made in the
Southern league this season.
So there is consolation for those
who would despair. We might not
be way up in the pictures. but none
of the others are winning more
rapidly than we. We are climbing.
The Barons need a little more
strength. We really believe that
when ELAN and Mcdonald entirely
recover from their injuries we
might sit quietly in the boat as
far as the infield, outfeld and re-
ceiving departments are concerned.
We need a couple of additional
good pitchers. Mr.. woodward, who
owns the club and who is watch
Ing its every movement, told us
last night that he is making ef-
forts to acquire couple of fling
ers with which to round out his
corpse of sharpshooters.
The Barons smashed out six
homeruns during the week just
gone. Early in the week Knisely
and Mcdonald hit for homeruns. Nc
Gilvray followed. Then came Mes
senger. Yesterday afternoon Me-
bride and Marcan hit for the en-
tire distance.
Sometime ago the Collins Shoe
company offered a pair of shoes for

every homerun hit on Rickwood
field delivered by a member of the
local team. Six pairs were handed
out last week. If the Barons retain
their clouting eye. and there is
every reason to believe that they
will, other pairs will soon be fol-
lowing those which already have
gone before.
The Barons take up the trail this
afternoon. They will be gone a
week, in which time series will be
played in Chattanooga and Nash
Vile.
There are good clubs in Chatta-
nooga and Nashville, and the Bar
ons may be hard pressed to break
even for the week. But the in
trepid followers of the cherubic
Mr.. Molesworth have at last hit
their real stride and they may
surprise the league by walking
through the Lookouts and volun-
teers with the grace and ease which
characterized their recent trip
through the Pelicans.
Monday the club returns home to
raise the pennant which was won
last season. A large crowd will
witness the lifting of the rag of
glory. Certain forms of entertain
ment Will be indulged m, it Is prob
able, after which the Barons will
turn from play to real work and
drub the Crackers of B. Smith.
The weather was good and hot
hot yesterday afternoon and our
old friend, B. FoXen, was in his
glory. He pitched excellently and
was never in distress. 1t seems that
when the weather is hot, the curves
of the southpaw take on a certain
quickness in their break which to
opposing stickmen, is disconcert-
ing.

LEAGUE CLOSES

The Barker School Baseball league came

score of this game was to T. The Tigers
won third place by winning from the
Lions, 7 to 3.
In the play-off Thursday the Panthers
easily defeated the Bears, to l. 1t was
one of the prettiest games played during
the season and was featured by the pitch
ing of Barlow for the Panthers. Barlow
allowed only one scratch hit and struck
out large number of Bears.
Lee and Moughon composed the battery
for the Bears while Barlow and Strong
composed the one for the Champion Tig-
ers.
