Miss Jane Addams, who received her Introduction to Birmingham at the time of the child labor conference several seasons ago, probably asked herself yesterday as she approached the Coun- try club. scene of the earlier festvity, how an equal suffrage luncheon would differ from child labor luncheon She found it much the same in spirit. Both occurred at the Country club, the first. an event including not half the number admitted ta yesterdays function. was presided over by that lovely humani- tarian and fncomparable speaker, Mrs John Herbert Phillips; the second had Mrs. Thomas Parke one of the most graceful and charming of all the suf- frage speakers. as chairman. And al both the child labor luncheon confer ence and the equal suffrage luncheon conference the thinking women of Bir- mingham were represented
 To the minds of many guests was re called an incident of the earlier lunch eon-Miss Jean Gordon's talk which avowed womans need for the ballot II was recalled that Miss Gordon's senti- ments, while regarded as forceful and bespeaking an admirable independence of thought, were then considered al- most militant in their suggestions. and that even those who applauded with greatest fervor seemed almost afraid So greatly have the Birmingham wom- en progressed along all lines of the great feminist movement since then that even the avowed opponents of the cause yesterday-and there were some among the guests-were delighted with the arguments and personality of each speaker.
 Club Decorations
 The elements had all conspired to make the luncheon a success. The sun shine, according to one of the visiting speakers, was like the warmth of our southern hospitality. and the club with its gay interior made the gayer and more welcoming by reason of flowers and light, and swift quiet attention 10 every need, was in harmony with the spirit of the day.
 The luncheon party numbered 20n. and all were seated al trifle past the hour of l, having been accorded cor dial welcome in the living room by Mrs. Solon Jacobs. state president of the Equal Suffrage association: Mrs. Oscar Hundley. local president; Mrs. ParSe. chairman of the luncheon, the executive officers and other friends of the or ganiZation.

SOCIETY AND HOME TOPICS FOR WOMEN
Mrs Stanley McCornick Treasurer National
 Association Tells Why She Became Suftraest

Mrs. Stanley Mccormick, treasurer of
 the National Suffrage associations socie- l ty leader, all round athlete (although she's the most feminine creature you ever set eyes on), superb whip scholar and student, received me yesterday at the Hotel Hillman, and in the Palm room we chatted for an hour about men and wom- en, love. marriage and divorce suffrage and socialism; in fact, of nearly all the evils and all the remedies to which hu- manity is heir and heiress.
 You might search the classics in vain for any mention of the hour at which Aphrodite arose from the sea. but the woman who has made for herself a most enviabe reputation in the cause of suf- frage, and who is one of the busiest as brilliant of all the "big" women who are allied with the feminist movement, kept an appointment With me at the early hour of 10 a. m, when most bf our fellow sis ters were still a-napping. and she looked as rosy and as fresh as the loveliest debutante of the season.
 Mrs. Mccormick has made tremen- dous impression in Birmngham-he ex- qustely dainty femininity and her un- usual charm making it's impress upon all those who have seen and heard her.
 Perhaps one might call hers an apotheo- sized prettiness, for her features are rather small and extraordinarily regular, and she possesses the buoyancy of youth and freshness-plus.
 Her eyes, her soft wavy hair. her rich olive skin and the determined expression of her mouth are all assets in her general makeup and her faultless taste in matters sartorial and again her pro nounced femininty and graciousness draw you instinctvely to her. for back of it all there is sincerity and an earn estness and a capability which are gen uine.
 You can imagine a group of men lis tening to Mrs. Mccormick. as hundreds of them have done since her visit to Bir- mingham. and you can almost hear them saying:
 'T don't really care whether the wa tery-eyed, blue-nosed suffragettes who wear queer little hats and talk in loud, rasping voices Ohe kind we are accus- toned to see in the picture books), get the vote or not (which, of course, is SC like a man, to confound issues with per sonalities, but it just goes to show what a pretty woman can dol and if it were in my power (which, of course, it is), I should be glad for her to have the vote for the simple reason that she wants it so much and-so sweetly."
 Among the things that l wanted to know particularly regarding Mrs. Me Cormck and the decided stand she has made for suffrage, was just what pro- noted it, initialy, and so l asked her.
 She replied promptly
 When I was acquiring my education the one thing that I desired more than anything else in the world was a sci entlic education My interest in suf- frage came about later through my ma circulation at the Boston School of Tech nology. As as anti-suffragst, which is

FEW YORK, March Up IL
~ New Britain, Conn, far re-
moved from the turmoil ano
strife of baseball, there's a man with
dark mustache, with soft brown
eyes and hair that is grazing at the
ends, who smiles all day the smile
that one smiles when one is happy
and contented and at peace with all
the world
The man who smiles is Tom Lynch,
once prexy Of the National League,
now proprietor of prosperous thea
ter in the little Connecticut town.
Tom, as many will recall, was
booted out of the National League
last December, after serving It for
four years, because the pugnacious
moguls decided they wanted ian able
man to ably handle the affairs of the
league"

the cold much lately. In fact, he's
quite glad now that he was showed,
and thereby saved the hours Of agony
that Governor John X. Tener, his sue
cessor, has endured during the past
ten weeks or so.
"WHAT do you think Of the pres
w ent state of affairs in the Ma
tional Lacquer" Lynch was asked.
Il have no opinion to express" was
the reply. Il am out of the league,
and l feel, therefore, that have no
right to express my sentiments con-
corning what has happened since
was supplanted by Governor Tener"
The ousting of Murphy was a good
thing for the league and for baseball
in general, wasn't it?"

turned Lynch.

kie should go by the board the Look
outs ought TO have him back.
TAKING 1t up one side and down
the other, 1t looks as If there is
the making of very pretty little row
about this latest slap at the minor
leagues.
"They are always prating about the
protection of organized BASEBALL, /"
said Mr. Galloway. Now, I'll tell you
what this protection amounts to,
when there comes a time for 1t pto-
tect-for instance, when the Federal
League begins cutting into the stu
alton.
ITS just like a sleighing party
made up of some big fellows and some
little fellows, with the wolves chasing
them. The big fellows drop the little
fellows overheard, one at a time, to
delay the wolves That's the kind Of
protection the big leagues hand out
to the minor leagues Protection
means the big leagues for themselves
and the,-well, the wolves take the
little cnes."
DRESIDENT KAVANAUGH, by the
way, was not at the meeting that
put over the new rule II looks to us
as if nobody could have been there
except representatives of the major
circuits and the Glass AA leagues
who are the only ones to be benefited
by the legislation.
Mr. Galloway says the arrangement
wouldn't hold shucks in a court Of
law, and that If the Crackers are
filched of a chance to get Bisland back
he Galloway has a good mind 10
give the regular courts a whack at the
case.

GEORGIA STATE LEAGUE NOTES.


The dope in the Georgia State at this
stage Of the game indicates that the
league directors will be called upon to
buy no less than six pennants.
Every team in the league looks better
than ever before, and naturally each
city feels that this is pennant year
However this much is absolutely GER

Vile Hornets, proposes to do his best for
second rag.
There was lot of talk last fall of the
Georgia league being increased to an
moving again to the extent that Dublin
and Fitzgerald want to enter.
Having an exceptionally well-balanced
league of six teams, II is not probable
that the directors will increase the
league to eight teams this year. If the
1914 season proves all the prospects in
dictate, favorable action may be given
applications for membership later.
