retire. Derrick was spiked on the hand
by Wheat when the latter slid into sec

ATLANTA TRYING
TO WIN TROPHY!
ON YOUR GUARD

THE local baseball association
and the members of the Cham
ber of Commerce are bending
every effort to the end that the
Birmingham attendance at the OPEN
ing game of the current season will
be greater than that of any other
city of the league.
The result of the large attend
ance will be beneficial to the base
ball association. But were this the
patriotic men would not be har-
messed togther in an effort to win.
They are working for Birming-
ham.
1t must be flashed around the
country by the Associated Press
that Birmingham, in a competition
with Chattanooga, Atlanta, New
Orleans, Memphis, Nashville, Mo-
bile and Montgomery, won.
Birmingham won last season 1t
was an easy vistory. although only
a trifle more than 1000 people wit
messed the opening game. If Bir-
mingham fails to play to 10000
people next Thursday, Birmingham
will lose.
There are certain cities of the
league which have become jealous of
Birmingham. The fact that Bir-
mingham has outpointed in attend
ance certain cities which have
claimed that they have more peo-
pie than Birmingham, has tended
to prove those population claims
false. For that reason, Atlanta and
New Orleans are actively getting
aroused.
Birmingham has real competition
this year in Atlanta, Nashville and
Chattanooga. Let's all get togeth
er and put Birmingham again to
the front. We can do 1t.
Birmingham cannot afford to lose.
The city government has declared
a half holiday in order that it's
employees and the school children
might attend the game. Two prom
inent merchants have agreed to
close their doors Thursday after
noon that their clerks might attend
Other merchants Will probably fol-
low suit today. All of them should
Everybody should take a day off
and attend the game, for Brming-
ham must win. 1t is for Birming-
ham that we strive, the city in
which we live and expect long to
live.

the world.-H. w. r.

defeated the Columbus team of the Cot

team fielded poorly and showed lack of
