Barons Come From Many States
"BUD" SMITH HAS SPLENDID
OPPORTUNITY TOMAKE GOOD

since Joined the New York Giant club.
Another teammate who has since won con-
siderable fame in major league baseoah
circles was Steve Yerkes. who Is now
with the Boston Americans.
Smith Is only p years GA lie tips the
beam for some 165 pounds, and felles
mainly upon his splitter for his effective
ness while in the box. He also Is said TO
have a good amo'nt of speed and fast
breaking curve ball.
When Smith Was with the Spartanburg
club he attracted the attention OF Johnny
Collins. an enthusiastic baseball ian OF
Birmingham, and it was largely through
Collins influence that Frank gave the
local hurler a try with the Pelicans. Col
Inns thinks we'll of the ability of Smith,
and says that he will develop into Won
derful pitcher under the tutorage of the
Wiley New orleans manager
In getting Smith berth with New Or
leans, Collins was not making shls debut
in starting youngsters upon the road to
professionalism. He has been instru-
mental in starting off q number of play
ers who are now doing service In the
major leagues. His unerring judgment
of baseball talent has caused his opinion
to be highly respected by all managers
who know him, and Charlie Frank was
quick to attach a string to the youngster
when Collins spoke in his behalf
birmingham fans will be greatly in
terested in the success of Smith in the
Southern league.

RETURNS TO PENN.
The Minor Sport Season is
Now Practically
Closed

University of Pennsylvania, March T.
Special al.)-Pennsylvana's minor sport
seasons have practically wound up. Moth
ing remains but the Intercollegiate meets
for the swimmers and fencers, while the
wrestling and gymnastic teams have par
ticipated in their most important con-
tests.
The sport which is occupying the Red
and Blues attention now is rowing. Coach
Ellis Ward has reduced his crew squad
from 125 actually working candidates to
To- In the squad which is left are some
big, powerful oarsmen. Ward declares
that four of his veterans left from last
season are first class men, while four OF
last years freshmen also look good. This
will give the veteran coach at least eight
men with which to start his
varsity going. Nine crews-give varsity
and four freshmen boats-are working out
daily on the Delaware.
The baseball and track squads have been
taking advantage of the warm weather
during the past week to get in plenty of
outdoor practice. Coach Thomas has been
giving his ball tossers infield and outf1eld
practice on the diamond.
mike Murphy, who has been in Thom-
asviIfe, Ca, for the past several weeks,
returned to town yesterday very much
improved In health. He expects to rest
for two or three weeks longer and then
to resume his duties as trainer OF track

LITTLE CHANGE IN
COTTON MARKET
Trading Generally Quiet
During the Past
Week

New York, March No great change
has occurred in the cotton market dur
ing the past week and trading has been
generally quiet. Continued reports of
favorable progress with new crop prepara-
tions, and the failure of spot demand
to become more active bave given rather
a bearish tendency to sentiment, however,
and prices have lost ground slightly, with
active old crop positions once more SELL
ing a few points under the IL cent level.
Offerings have come partly from the
south, but chiefly from the larger CEN
tiers, it is claimed and there is ten
dency in trade circles to attribute the
bulk of the pressure to Wall street or
other local operators, while the buying
has been most generally credited to trade
interests arbitrarge houses or old shorts.
This view of the trading has formed the
basis for assertions that while the mills
are holding out of the spot markets,
owing to their already generous supplies,
they are hedging their forward business
in goods by purchases of futures at pre-
vailing discounts. Speculative sellers, ac-
cording to the bullish view, are under
writing the actual requirements in the
expectation that favorable start for the
new crop will justify their position, while
they also believe that there will be
plenty of cotton to go around during the
end season. Trade buyers, on the con-
trary, are supposed to be influenced by
an ability to sell goods at profitable prices
as compared with ruling raw material
values and by a desire to avoid the risk
of a possibly unfavorable growing sea-
son. Meanwhile, practically all accounts
from the south indicate prospects for in
creased acreage and a more liberal use
of fertilizer as compared with last year,
while more recently many advices have
been received reporting that farm worr
is we'll advanced for the season. Prelim-
mary ginning figures published this week
have pointed to a total growth for the
season of 100000 bales, including lin
ters. The into-sight now appears to be
running in harmony with such a view of
the yield.

TO CONSIDER
CHALLENGE OF Upton

Yacht club can meet him off Sandy
Hook with a 80 footer, though, of
course, the defender would be COM
PEELED TO give a heavy time allowance.
Sir Thomas suggestion that both
yachts be limited to rs feet would bar
out the unbeafen 90 footer Reliance,
which many of the yacht club members
believe could successfully defend the
cup.
when Sir Thomas was asked as to
his stipulation that the race be be-
tw,sn rs foot boats, he said:
Il recognize that under the strict
terms. of the deed of gift the New York
Yacht club could race a 80 foot boat
against my 10 foot yacht. The result
would be assured victory for the big
ger boat, and such a contest would be
devoid of all interest
IF the New York Yacht club in
sists upon doing this l nevertheless
shall race my 75 footer against their
bigger boat, but in the interest of
craftsmanship I hope they will agree
to meet me with u boat of equal size.
The decision rests with them. l put
myself unreservedly in their hands,"

New York, March Sir Thomas
Liptons challenge for the Americas
cup will be considered at special
meeting of the New York Yacht club
called by Commodore Pratt for the
evening of March II. Already differ
ence of opinion has arisen among the
club members whether the challenge
should be accepted on the terms pro-
posed by Sir Thomas Upton, that the
competing yachts be limited to 10 feet
on the water line.
The deed of gift provides that the
challenge, If a sloop, may be anywhere
from So to 80 feet on the water line
The challenger can elect to sail on any
water line length within the designated
limits of 65 and 80 feet. and the de-
fender has the same right and the

PLANNING TO BRING
EXPERT ON ASPHALT

Owing to the fact that there has been
SO much complaint about the asphalt
situation in Atlanta, and that much of the
paving work has had to be done over
again, the county has taken up with the
city the question of hiring an expert at a
salary of 5000 a year to take charge of
this feature of road building. Proctor of
Detroit is the man in view, and the coun-
ty has offered to pay $1,000 Of this annual
salary while the city will doubtless agree
to pay the other $1,000. 1t has been esti-
mated that this service will save Atlanta
over $4,000 a year, and an equal amount
to the county.
The county Is gradually building up an
asphalt repair plant and is buying new
machines.
In the year 1912 the county board.
through its convicts, paved seven and
one-half miles of street at a cost of $780,
900, did a large amount of grading, a
part of this at the city disposal plants
Outside of the city during the year seven
and one-fourth miles of asphalt macadam
road was constructed; "a miles of road
was oiled with asphalt oil, and three and
one-half miles of plain macadam road was
constructed.
During the year large amount of very
effective work was done in the improve

Ing Of substantial and durable pavements.
the resurfacing Of roads which had be-
dome damaged by wear, the laying OF
drain pipes for better protecting the roads
from water and the construction of con-
crete culverts.
In Fulton county. outside of the CITY,
there are approximately 33S miles of roac'
Of which 1231a are paved and 199ls are
unpaved In addition to this, however,
there were many more miles paved. which
in 1910 the city took within its limits when
1t extended its boundaries. These roads
are now of course directly under the su-
peryision of City Chief of Construction
Robert NJ. Clayton.

coming season, has an excellent oppor-
tunity to make the Pellcans valuable
slabman with a little nursing during the
early practice season.
The Birmingham boy has risen rapidly
in the baseball world in the last several
seasons, and last summer when he played
in the East Carolina league as member
of the Rocky Mountain club, he was con-
sdered one of the leading hurlers in the
circuit
Smiths early experience on the diamond
consisted of amateur ball on the corner
lots of Birmingham, and one season in
the Birmingham City league, when he first
attracted notice from professionals.
During his first season in professional
ball Smith had as teammate James
Thorpe the great Indian athlete, who has

PARLIAMENT IS
PROROGUEDFOR
ASHORT RECESS
British Lawmakers to Re-
assemble March 10 for
Busy Session-Union-
lists Are Divided

London. March 1.-THE British par
lament was prorogued today for one
of the shortest recesses in its history.
1t is TO reassemble on Monday, March
10, for another of the busy sessions for
which the liberal government has be-
come famous.
The Kings speech from the throne
today was probably the briefest on
record on such an occasion, merely ex-
pressing regret that the members of
the houses would have only nominal
period of release from their labors.
Last session was long one but al
most every day was marked by de-
termined fight between the two front
benches in which the private member
had little opportunity of doing any
thing but vote. However. there was al
WAYS something sufficiently interesting
to keep the government supporters in
their places.
This session will be humdrum in
comparison and the government whips
will have hard work to keep the MEM
bers up to the mark.
Home Rule Bill Again
The home rule bill, the Welsh dis
establishment bill and a few minor
bills to which the lords refused assent,
will have to be reintroduced and re-
passed. This will be rather dry work;
the old arguments will perforce be re-
peated and there will be a weary march
through the division iobbies on every
point that the unionists can compel a
vote.
The unionists more anxious than
ever to get the government out be-
fore the Irish and Welsh. bills become
law, will spare no pains to accomplish
their end.
They will be prepared to take part
in every division in the hope of catch
ing the government andss bringing
about its overthrow by adverse votes.
Not many days will be given to those
bills that have to be reintroduced-per-
