THE SAME OLD GAME.

THE SAME OLD GAME.-Recent-
ly, accompanying two friends, I went
to visit patient at the new Chicago
hospital.
This patient was there, not be-
cause Of stress of poverty, but for the
reason that her physician had insist
ed that by being there she would get
benefit of the best that modern medi
cal science had evolved in the treat
ment of tuberculosis. Her family
were taxpayers and therefore felt en-
titled to the privilege of placing for a
short while one of their number in
the institution as the recipient of
health-restOring methods and sur
roUndings.
While much impressed with the
general and specific scope of the sani-
tariUm, and realizing the great and
far-reaching benefits that could re-
suit from it's establishment, right
along with this satisfaction comes
the consciousness that there in plain
sight Is the same old writing on the
wal" standing out over the heads Of
OficialdOm-secure and Indifferent
the after-I-am-in-to-anyvHhere-with--
you spirit, and who are you, any

was that machine, or cogs of it, that
years ago drove Bishop Duggan into
an asylum, wherein he ended his
days.
The appointment of Bishop Null
doom as an auxiliary bishop caused
a protest from 40 of the pioneer
priests of his archdiocese to go to
Rome. These pioneers, who planted
the cross in the wilderness, who rode
on horseback through miles of un-
plOWed and uncUltiVated prairie, Of
fering religious consolation to the
pioneer Catholics; these men, the adj
vance guard in bringing the glad It'd
ings of the gospel to Catholics, too
far remote from towns or villages to
attend church, and too sparsely set
tied to build a chapel for the worship
of God; these men who were doing
Gods work before paved streets, &C.
ment sidewalks, steam or electric
cars were thought of, before tele-
phones or telegraphy had become
reality, were the men who appealed
to Rome mot to appoint MuldOon."
When, in spite Of this protest, the
day. was set for his conservation, Fa-
ther jeremiah Crowley came into
Holy Name cathedral to protest
against his promotion after the no
tary had said: We are about to adj
vance Peter J. Muldoon to the posi-
ton of auxiliary bishop of his arch
diocese. If there is any one here who
has any valid objections to offer make
them now or forever be silent" But
his voice was silenced, his protest was
smothered, he was ''unfrocked" and
accommodated"
If there be 10y in heaven on the
conversion of one sinner" how much
sorrow over the damnation Of one
saint? Unworthy aspirants have
sought this exalted and responsible
position, sanctified by the sanity

worthy aspirants be gratifed? God,
in his infinite mercy, forbid! Only
two men in the archdiocese should
have been mentioned for the Office,
Bishop Rohde, for years auxiliary
bishop, and Bishop Ryan, the pioneer
bishop Of Alton. If these men could
not secure honorable mention when
the ballOting took place sincerely
hope those who have made the nom
nations have looked outside the
archdiocese.
AS Catholic, want no "schisms,"
no heresies, no discussions. want
the grand old church to continue it's
mission in peace and happiness. To
realize that hope pray God to pre-
vent the elevation of Dunno (PeOria)
or MUldOOn (ROckfOrd) to the exalt-

to be one of the best college players in the south. Just who else composes the Vandy five is unknown, but pro- vided they are of the same calible as the famous Josh, it will be a most wor- thy opposition to the local basket tos- sers.

 The showing of the individual play CTS in the Osteopath game was exceed ingly gratifying to the club supporters Capt. Tommy McGowan led his war riors in great style and although out of his regular position he gave a most excellent account of himself At the oth- CT guard appeared Biscoe Seals, the re- liable, who is noted as one of the best players in the south Biscoe is tower of strength to the local five and together with Captain Tommie, compose the best set of guards in the south. Besides be- ing a chief factor in the defence, both can be counted upon to chip in with a few goals, especially Irish Tommie.
 At center Luther Strange, a veteran. is holding down the job without much opposition. Strange is d terror at the passing game and is one of the best shots that the club can boast of.
 At forwards, Coach Brummage has 8 wealth of material. Brazelton is sure for one of the jobs, being one of the best forwards applying for the job. He is exceedingly good on short shots and is a hard man to guard for this reason. The other position is still in doubt with Gillian and Robertson, two youngsters, waging lively bout. Gillam's defensive ability and his pass work are his strong points, while Robertson, although not weak on the defence is far the much better on shooting. It is about an even shake, the lucky fellow winning.
 Substitutes are numerous and an abundance of material in any line awaits Coach Brummage's order to fill in gap. Although the team is far from being the finished team it will be in a few months, it has the prospects of de- veloping into one of the best quintettes ever to defend the B. A. c. colors

COACH bRUMMAGE PREPARING 3. 4. [. FOR VANDERBILT Will Meet COmmOdOres on Thursday Night-LOcal
 Five Is in Good
 Shape

The few faults of the Birmingham Athletic clubs basketball team are fast being worked out by Coach Brummage in speedy preparation for the game with Vanderbilt on Thursday night Decem- Der 30. The club machine is holding daily practice in an effort to be in good condition for the invading Commodores.
 Following their hard earned victory over the American School of Osteopathy about a week ago. what few faults the Crimson and Blue showed, Coach Brum- mage has determined to work out. The chief fault lies with the team itself in hot playing together. This fault, al though a great one, will be remedied, according to Coach Brummage
 The poor team work displayed in the game with the Osteopaths can be ac- counted for as it was the first battle of the season. The pass work was not any too good but this, too, can be ex- was exceedingly good. In other depart ments of the game, although not with out faults, the machine showing promise and tends to develop into a powerful quintette.
 Little is known of the Vandy five, excepting one player. Josh Cody, the all-southern gridiron performer, is cap tain of McGugins huskies. Josh is also some basketball player, and is said

Purchase Price Was 0000-Hedges Dubbed Ta End Bob, Quits Game With Half Million-Rckey to Be
 Chief Scout-Ball to Manage the Team

St. Louis. December 27-The Browns have been sold to Phil Dec. Ball former owner of the Sloufeds, and the first pay ment has been made to Col. Robert Lee Hedges. Ball announced this today.

 Ball was mum on the price he fs pay ing, but it is known that it was close to $400,000. A former stockholder was au- thority for the statement that the price was $500 a share for 800 shares. The original incorporation was on an sSO00O capital basis.

New Orleans La, December q Tommy Burns, who was a partner with Dominick Tortorich in the negotiations for the championship fight between Jess Willard and Fred Fulton, announced to- day that he personally would take over the agreement for the match, and would stage the contest here March as an independent promoter. Burns said he was in telegraphic communication today with Tom Jones, Willards manager, ano T. $. Andrews, in Chicago concerning the match, and that changes in the details for the fight would be settled when Jones and Andrews arrived here.
 Burns asserted that a percentage o1 the receipts would be substituted for the guarantee of $32, 800 to Willard, win, lose or draw, which was arranged for in the original agreement between Tortorich and Burns and Willard. Tortorich said today he would have nothing to do with Will Iard-Fulton match unless Fulton first fought and defeated the winner of the Morgan Coffey fight which takes place in New York January '.

Kisses for Charity

From the Washington Star.
 Nearly all the youth of the neighbor- hood attended the charity bazar.- and enc by one they drifted to stall where a tiny, shapely, scented gray kid glove reposed on a satin cushion. Attached to the cushion was notice, written in a delicate feminine hand, which ran:
 "The owner of this glove will. at 7:S0 this evening, be pleased to kiss any person who purchases a ticket before- hand"
 Tickets were purchased by the score. and at 1:S0 a long row of young men assembled outside the stalLs
 Then, punctual to the moment, old Tom Person, the local butcher, who weighs POO pounds and is almost as beautiful as a side of bacon, stepped to the front of the stall.
 Now. young gents" he said. this ere glove belongs to me. I bought it this morning. Now Pm ready for you. Come on' Don't be bashful! One at a time''

companies, making his share of the pur- chase price about $252 900. Branch Hickey, former manager of the Browns, will be retained by the new owners in some ca pacity, although Fielder Jones will be manager If Ball himself elects to be president, it is probable Hickey will be chief scout.
 Hedges, long dubbed "Tail-End Bob' by his fellow magnates, is quitting the game with $500,O00, quite an increase over the capital of $30,000 he had when he came in with the American league with the first baseball raid, investing that amount in the Milwaukee franchise Although the Browns have been the joke team of the circuit. and although Hedges has been canned time and time again for seemingly neXcusable errors, no one doubts his business ability.
 He was the first magnate to abolish bars from the grandstand, and one of the first to make strong appeals to attract women fans to the park.

ELIMINATION SERIES
 | FOR RAMSAY CUP STARTS SATURDAY
Edgewater Will Meet Do- cena-Teams Are About Evenly Matched-Good
 Game Is Expected

The Edgewater and Docena soccer teams will be the first to start the ball rolling in the Ramsay cup series, which is an elimination series staged annually by the Alabama Association Football league. The game will be played at Rickwood January l, beginning at 2:30 p. m. These two teams are well matched and a battle royal will take place when they meet. Edgewater got away to poor start in the league race this season, owing to this being their first year in the league, but by hard practice and se- curing more players they have steadily improved They now have one of the strongest teams in the circuit, and should make strong bid for the Ramsay cup ir the approaching series.
 Docena has a formidable aggregation of soccerites as evidenced by their hold ing second place in the league standing, and are entering these games with a determination that bodes ill for those who would oppose them. However, they do not regard the game with Edge water as an easy one, as the recent showing of the Edgewater boys has caused them considerable uneasiness. They realize that they have a hard game before them and are preparing for it accordingly.
 This game promises to be the best of the series as the opposing teams are so nearly equal in strength, and both are so determined to get away with a victory, in order to remain in the competition for the trophy. Every minute of play will be hotly contested, and spectators are assured of witnessing fast, clean game.

are strictly of American design,
there is every reason to congratulate
their creators. After a study of them
one might he pardoned for quoting
from the song which bids us heartily

modes" thereto.
The street costumes are cleverly
shaped. comfortable, and clean cut.
Their tailoring is a thing of faultless
beauty. Skirts are short and just
wide and fiaring enough for comfort
In walking and for style. Jackets and
coats are easy and smart, improving
the figure which wears them properly
One may have choice as to length,
as they are shown in both long and
short models.
Materials are durable, old favorites
being to the fore in the smartest
garments. Decorations are few and
elegant, buttons and straps and the
introduction of outside pockets pro-
yiding most of them. But it is in
amazing cleverness in cutting both
skirts and coats that this season has
distinguished itself above others.
In party gowns skirts are more am
