FIGURING ON USING
 b[EACHERS IN LIEF! .F|ELDON TROPHY DAY
No Half Holiday This Week and Two Next-Present Plans of Many
 Merchants

Indications point to a record crowd at the baseball game on September 2, when President Kavanaugh of the Southern league will present to the Barons the trophy for having the best attendance on the opening day of the present season. The day has been officially designated
 trophy day. and the city commissioners have issued proclamation calling upon all stores to close and asking everyone to attend the game.
 Trophy day will be a great civic cele- bration of Birmingham's victory over all other cities in the Southern circuit in Chamber of Commerce. the Business Men s league, the Board of Trade, the Rotary club, the Ad club and other civic organi- cations are working shoulder to shoulder to the end that the attendance on Sep tember be such as to compel the use for the second time of the center field bleachers at Rickwood.
 The Rotary club has three committees working asking merchants and business firms to declare half-holiday September 2. to permit their employees to attend the game.
 Many of the retail merchants have sig nified their intention of keeping their stores open all day Thursday of this week instead of granting the usual half-holiday, and closing Wednesday of next week at 2 o'clock. A reason for remaining open Thursday of this week, aside from the desire to cooperate in making Trophy day a success, is found in the fact that between 1b00 and 200o Alabama merchants, many of their wives, will be in the city Wednesday and Thursday.
 The merchants say that their records of last year show material increase of busi- ness due to the merchants convention and want to keep their stores open during this years convention. Instead of this week S holiday. Wednesday of next week will be given the employees. Mrs. w. l.. Mur- .doch, chairman of the Consumers league committee of the Birmingham Equal Suf- frage association. has expressed for her committee entire approval of the mer- chants plans. Said she: My committee is willing to agree to the stores keeping open all day Thursday of this week if they will close at o'clock the following Wednesday, and give their employees a haIf-holiday."
