INDIANA PROMOTER
COMING TO SELMA

Selma, December 10.-(Special)-C. II.
Hernley of Newcastle, Ind, will be in
Selma soon after the first of the year
to examine the proposed route of the
Cahaba valley line from Selma to Bloc
ton. IL he sees possibilities in the line
he will organize a company of northern
capital and build the road, according to
information which has been received here
This information was received here to-
day by friends of Mr.. Hernley, and in
his letter he stated he was coming I'd
Selma for the purpose of studying the
possibilities of the projected road. Mr..
Hernley has high standing in the finan-
cial circles of the middle west
Mr.. Hernley has been one of the prin-
cipal promoters in the making of Indiana
a network of traction lines. His ven
lures have without exception been sue
cessful and he has the implicit conf
dence of much capital.
Probably no enterprise now proposed
would be of greater benefit to Selma than
the building of the projected railroad
from this city up the Cahaba valley to
the Birmingham district. 1t would place
Selma on one of the greatest freight haul
ing roads in the country and following the
completion numerous industries would be
established here.

CHARLIE FRANK MAY
Be RESTORED AS pei
MANAGER FOR 1914
Heinemann Making Effort
to Purchase Club From
SOmers and Restore
Frank as Pilot

New Orleans, December 10.--A compro-
mise which will restore Charley Frank to
the managership of the club, hoist Heine-
mann to the presidency and bring about
the erection by j. w. Newman of the
finest baseball plant In the south, is the
plan that will be urged by A. j. Heine-
mann when he goes to Cleveland to con-
fer with C. w. Somers.
If Heinemann's proposition fails Mr..
sSomers will Immediately proceed with his
plan of action for next season. He has
already decided to send to New Orleans
three ball players who were with Toledo
last season. He has withheld the an
nouneement of Johnny Dobbs as manager
of the club until he conferred with Heine-
mann, not knowing what may come OF
such conference.
1t is said Mr.. Newmans proposition Is
to buy enough of Somers' stock to place
control of the club in Mr. Heinemann's s
name and to furnish the White City
grounds with the Pelican park stand on
them on a long time lease, which will
cover the repayment to him of the money
he advances in equipping this property.
For this Mr.. Somers, it is said, is to wipe
out the big bill for ball players he holds
against the club.
Mr.. Somers is to retain enough stock to
keep him interested in New Orleans as
training ground. and amicable arrange
ments between the two clubs are to con
tinue, but each club shall have the right
to set the price of the ball players it fur
nishes the other.
An offer to sell or lease him the White
City grounds was made to Mr. Somers
by Mr.. Newman some time ago, it is said
and Somers turned down the offer con-
sidering that Pelican park would suffice
for the clubs use for a few years at least
If the present proposition goes through
a real estate deal will be started by IIine-
mann and Pelican park probably cut up
into lots. Whether all this can be done
by the 1914 playing season is problemati-
cal. 1t is said Newman is ready to go to
work right away if his plan is satisfactory
to Somers.

MUCH EXPECTEDOF
KROH NEXT SEASON
Anticipated That South
paws Work VIII Be
Sensational

Chattanooga, Deceber 10.-(Special. }
Just trim your lamps and prepare to keep
them focused on one Floyd kroh during
the 1914 baseball free-for-all which will be
run as usual under the personal direction
of Judge William Kavanaugh of Little
Rock. The former Cub and Dodger after
being grabbed from the Turtles by Elber-
field last spring. via the waiver route,
pitched phenomenal ball for the Lookouts
up until the final fray of the season, but
his work this year is going to be still
more sensational.
This year it will be far different story,
for Kroh has already commenced training
for the 1914 race. By the time that Man.
ager Moose" Mccormick issues his call
for the first vernal practice, the big port
slider will be in the pink of condition, for
he is working out in the box factory of
President Andrews and the chief execu-
tive of the Lookouts is giving him per-
sonal attention. Kroh will remain at this
stand throughout the entire winter and
observe consistent training.

TENER INAUGURATED
AS THE NATIONAL
LEAGUE PRESIDENT
MARGARET ALLEN SOPHS
AGAIN ACHIEVE VICTORY
Freshman Quintet Completely Ouclassed Final Game-Vic
tory Makes Third Successive One for Sophomores.
Freshies Handicapped in Size
by ASA RoUNTREE, JR.

Outclassing their opponents from the
beginnins. the sophomore basketball sex
tet of the Margaret Allen school had lit
tie trouble yesterday afternoon in defeat
ing the freshman team for the third con-
secutive time, the score being 30 to l.
After the first few minutes of play the
ultimate winner was never in doubt, and
1t finally became a question CT how large
the score would be.
The lone tally of the freshman came in
the final half of play. when Jordan Prince
rung foul goal. Although the freshies
had several good chances to score, they
never at any time became dangerous.
One of the main factors that figured in
the sophomores' easy victory was their
advantage in size With one exception,
the Sophs We're all larger than their op-
ponents and again and again they were
able to get the ball away and ring goals
on account of their superior height.
In the second half the Freshies made
brave attempt to close up the gap, but
their efforts were without avail.
The team work of the Soph team was
good and several times they got away
with neat passes that took the Freshies
by surprise.
Lineup and summary:
ophomores-Marguerite Lewis, forward,

which have student bodies of 400 or more.
A straight rule. whereby first year men
in all colleges are barred, would work spe-
cial hardship on the smaller institutions.
As matter of fact, the first-year men
frequently constitute more than third
of the student body. For this reason is
would be unfair to restrict new comers IN
the smaller schools.
In addition to the above matter, another
of special local interest will be considered,
when the recent disqualification of Jim
Press is taken up. Tech authorities have
been working diligently i'm an effort to
gather evidence showing that Preas vio-
lated the rulings of the association rather
through ignorance than through any In
tention TO do so. In fact Preas, befora
entering Teach had repeatedly announced
that he would not consider the possibili-
ties of entering any institution under cir
eumstanoes which would vitiate his ana
teur standing. With evidence of this kind
to back up the argument. Tech expects
to have the big fellow renstated, with the
possibility that the suspension will not
be lifted before next fall, thereby elinii-
mating him from participation during tho
remainder of the present scholastic year.

Why the Saloon Exists.

American issue: The saloon exists
simply because the people have not
united to demand its extinction. The
church Of God is strong enough to
put the monster to death within the
next thirty days if the church would
so dcermine. There are too many
Indifferent ones among its members,
too many who do net know that God
has made every man his brothers
keeper, too many who take blood
money. too many who are afraid and
Iimid. But the church is being aWak-
