TIE GAME

Tuscaloosa, April 6-(Special.)-A tie game was the best the University of Ala bama could do against the Southwestern Presbyterian squad this afternoon, when Cargle struck out in the sixth inning with the bases full, leaving the score 7-7. Southwestern got next to Pitcher Miller in the first inning, making five runs. After running over two more in the fourth, Wilxie was substituted and the scoring shut off. With the score 7-6 in Southwestern's favor in the sixth, Steven son walked four men, tying the count. Smith, substituted, struck out Cargile, who had previously knocked a home run, and the game ended. .Wilxie did well the short time he was in the box. The

When the Birmingham fans see him in action he will not be seek ing the lmelight, but playing the game from start to finish, always hustling to win and encouraging not only the regular players, but the recruits who hope to fill his shoes and when his successor finally does arrive Honus Wagner wi1 be the first to congratulate him.
 In addition to Wagner the Pirates have Babe Adams, pitcher, and George Gib- son. catcher two of the grandest players in the game, and the battery which helped Pittsburg win the worlds championship in 1909. Max Carey, one of the leading base stealers in the National league, is another Pirate star and Jimmy Niox, at second, will be another favorite of the big circuit. It has always been the policy of President Barney Dreyfuss in arrang- ing exhibition games to play his regular players only as he believes the fans pay for seeing the regular men play. Of course, new pitchers are often worked out
 From advance reports the Pirates have picked up several stars notably Bobby Schang, who was the leading catcher of the Western league last year, playing with St. Joe. This youngster is said to be real find and is showing up very well in training. Another likely looking candi- date Is Walter Gerber, shortstop, who was the unanimous choice of the sporting writers of the American association cir cult for leading shortstop, while Bill Hinchman, formerly of Columbus, enjoyed the same honor Gerber These players are said to be among the finds of the sea- son. Fred c. Clarke is again the pilot of the Pirates and he will bring the entire squad of 35 players to Birmingham for the games with the local team

Although Lord Cecil Coombs hit the ball snvageIy yesterday afternoon. his errors were largely intrumental in los- ing hardhfttfng game to the CIeve- land Americans. The score was IF to 5.
 In five times at the bat Coombs trip1ed and singled twice. scored one run and drove in another in the ninth. Coombs also had three dazzling assists. cues, Coombs' triple in the second in- ming was really home run. but con servative coaching by c. Johnson at third base held the speedy second sack from going home. No harm followed this error of judgment as Coombs scored n moment later on McBride's single to center.
 But Cecil Coombs was not the only heavy hitter yesterday. Danny Clark, who got his first chance to shine in a local lot by subbng for Roy Ellam, who was indisposed, hit two timely doubles and played a stellar game in the field. "Redv Stewart also combed two timely wallops and gathered everything in the mid-field. Charley Carroll played his usual fast game arount the initial sack. and secured healthy triple in the fifth inning and stole a base in the ninth. Carroll is showing constant improvement at the first station and fulfilling the confidence Molesworth placed in him this season by making him a regular after two seasons in utility roles.

OUR OPPORTUNITY.

The world is at turning point.
1t is impossible that great things
shall not come out of this great
world war. Humanity is too far adj
vanced to exert SO much energy
without demanding some tangible,
consequent benefit. The people will
no longer fight battles merely to
supply a pastime to kings and
barons. The relatives and relics of
the millions of dead and MANNED, the
citizens who are asked to shoulder
their country's war debt, the mer-
chants whose business has been
ruined, the fathers whose homes
have been burned, the children
whose mothers died martyrs to
their virtue all will sooner or later
-"What for?" The cost has al
ready been enormous. The conse-
quence must be momentous.
If the public press is to- be be-
lieved, both sides are promising
liberty to the oppressed, condition.
ed upon their arms being victorious.
The Jew in particular seems to have
been singled out as an object of
universal solicitude An autono-
nous state, free Palestine, world
wide equality, these are some of
the dazzling promises generously
given.
SO far, SO we'll. The promise of

Venice" In this connection let us
saw that while we should not toler-
ate in our public schools anything
that tends to create or to confirm
prejudice, or that smacks OF sec
tartan teaching, and while we are
strictly within our rights in object
ing to it, let us not be bigoted and
cavil at little things that are really
harmless. We understand that some
people object to the reading in the
same school of Lowell's, The Vision
of Sir Launfal because of an allus1on
in it to Jesus. We fail to see what
harm that can do Jewish children.
Let us not make ourselves ridiculous
by Directing too much.
Lastly, we wish to call attention
to one statement in Mr.. Gllbert's
letter. "Serious complications arise
when children of foreign parents be-
come Americanized sooner than the
parents and by so doing lose respect
both for their parents and their re-
ligion." These words we should
take to heart. For here Mr.. Gilbert
puts his finger on really sore spot.
It is a serious problem worth pom
dering. We need more Of intelligent,
modern, religious education for our
children. We need a well-equipped
educational and social center for the
young people in the Jewish neigh
borhoods.
