 Anxious For Season to Start

Finishing touches were applied to the Barons yesterday afternoon by Manager MoIesworth in final preparation for the son on Friday in New Orleans Moley spent the entire afternoon in drilling his lsouad in signals and practicing trick plays which the Barons will endeavor to work this year with the same success that marked the 1906 season, when the Barons copped the bunting by working the squeeze play.
 The yannigans and the regulars held a brief practice struggle yesterday. Moley was satisfied with the results and con- quently dismissed his squad early in the afternoon Practice was held yesterday morning as usual. Batting and fielding practice constituted the main part of the practice yesterday morning as will today and tomorrow.
 Moley is planning to drive his squad hard from now until the opening of the season. which is but two days off.

BLACK IN RESERVE

Should Robertson develop a wing between now and Friday, which is prob- able, Preacher Perryman or Karl Black will open the season for the Barons. Practice today will be brief, but will be strenuous. Moley is not too satisfied with the condition of the team, but provided warm weather continues until Friday the Barons will be in good enough condition to face the Pelicans

forecasted in these columns. Smykal has been looking entirely too good to be nosed out of the short field position; the Kid believes that the Chicago boy not only will field like a flash, but will inn prove in hitting.
 NICHOLSON A WONDER
 ''The real sensation of the day at An drews field was occasioned by the brilliant performances of Ovid Nicholson. The Kid devoted most of his attention on his two new outfielders. He employed some of his best fungo hitters to test Nicholson's ground covering ability, and the way MT. Ovid spread himself over all of center field and goodly portions of right and left, was beautiful to behold. For a player who has had but little prac- tice this spring the wiry little individuals showing was little less than marvellous.
 Furthermore, Nicholson gets down to first base in phenomenally rapid time Pete Allison has very little, if anything, on the new Lookout gardener in this inn portant department-and it bespeaks a forecast that Ovid, Esq, will be lead-off man on the locals before many days.
 'There was little opportunity to judge the newcomers ability at the bat but the Kid was willing to take his record for that part of the business after seeing him in the field and on the bases. He hit 300 for three consecutive seasons in the Western, which indicates that he must rave something in the way of wallop.
 CHANCEY TOO SLOW
 ''Chancey limbered up favorably, but Elberfeld acted with characteristic quick decision. The manager decided that one slow man was all that his batting ne- cessities should compel him to carry in the outf1eld, and Hyatt being in that cate- gory, it was hard to figure Chancey in the running.
 '.The outf1eld proposition is quite simple now. Hyatt will play right, Ovid Nichol- olson will settle left field between them. This will be some nifty little argument, too, and both players probably will be carried for many days-Jud to be given a chance to show whether he'll hit hard this year or not and Nicholson for his speed and fielding ability. Shrould Fred develop some hitting strength more than he has shown yet he may displace Daley: other wise the veteran vii, have the call.
 LINEUP IN DOUBT
 'The batting order for opening day is still matter of conjecture.
 Hamilton Hyatt wired yesterday that he would arrive in Chattanooga Thursday. This means that he will be here in time to leave on the night train with the rest of the players, but he will hardly be in condition to enter Fridays game. .Jud Daley doubtless will be continued in the lead-off role for the present; but Fred Nicholson, who batted in the clean up position during the exhibition games, may be shifted further down.
 ,sThe shift in the lineup probably will be developed in Wednesdays game against

Crushed Him

From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
 At dance Percival Claude was pre- sented to beautiful young girl from an adjacent town, and during the evening it was his great happiness to lead her out among the papier-mache palms for ice cream and angel cake.
 And so,' said the girl in response to Percivals story of his life, you have never married"
 Mo- answered Percival, T shall never marry until meet woman who is my direct opposite"
 That should not be hard,' returned the pretty one with a faint smile. "There are bright intelligent girls in every part of the town"

ANXIOUS FOR START

The team is not in any too good shape, but l feel confident that we will be ready for the start especially if the weather continues to remain warm. The fellows are anxious for the season to start, and I'll be glad myself when things do get under way"
 NO further plans for the opening day were announced yesterday. The commit tees appointed at the meeting Monday got into action yesterday and visited the doWn-town merchants. The real work on getting the stores to close will not begin until next week. Birmingham will have scme sort of mark to strive at after seeing the progress of the Pels on Fri day. and then the committee and the op- ening day boosters will actively start work.

 The suggestion freely made the time of J.

AUTO TRUCK RUNS
 DOWN YOUNG MAN

Raymond Schreiber, a young man living at Fowler, was run over and badly crushed about the body early last evening when a G. M C. truck, driven by Roy Winton in the emploYe of The Babbit-Polson company, struck the motorcycle upon which he was rid ing and knocked him under the wheels.
 According to eye witnesses, young Schreiber was going east on Adams street riding on the rear of a motor cycle being piloted by Leslie Brashaw. The truck was running west on Adams, and both machines attempted to turn north onto Central avenue. The motor cycle collided with the truck when the turn was made, and the smash-up oc- cured directly in front of the Adams | Pharmacy.
 l Both wheels of the heavy truck ran across the young mans body, but he was not rendered unconscious. He got up as soon as the wheels had cleared him and staggered a few steps, but he was in such intense pain, that he col lapsed to the pavement. He was taker to Dr. Craig's office where an exami- nation showed that no bones were broken.

The Straw Vote

The straw vote which is a feature of every presi- deutial campaign usually indicates nothing, however honestly and painstakingly may be counted. That s the totals indicate nothing for they must neces- sariy small part of the grand total of election day that we were to consider them indicative of a result We might well take for it's indication the ex pression of the first whom might meet on the street.
 The Cincinnati Enquirer independent democrat however, is taking poll in the four states of Ohio Indiana, West Virginia and Kentucky which is without considerable value a means of arriving at the final result The figures of course are small that the showing that Hughes is leading in Ohio and Indiana and that Wilson is ahead in West Virginia and Kentucky mean nothing all. The value poll lies in the fact that it discovers the direction drift" which conceded by both par ties decide the national election There are two drifts" from each of the old parties to the other and the important drift" from the pro- gressve party each of the old parties.
 As to Ohio the poll the Enquirer shows that 1S1 democrats have so far declared their intention of be- coming republicans and that 4S republicans dis satisfied their party and will the democratic ticket next November Fifty-six progressives will Wilson while Al progressives will cast their votes for Mir Hughes.
 In Indiana IA democrats have announced that they will vote Hughes while republican has declared himself for Wilson. Five progressives will become democrats and "A will vote for Hughes
 In West Virginia the republicans gain by such changes: IA to 1 in progressive votes and to in switches by members of the old parties In Ken lucky 4 democrats have declared that they will vote the republican ticket and republicans have stated that they will for Wilson The progressives of Kentucky returning to the old parties shown by one days poll in the of 46 the republicans and r to the democrats.

Exhibition. Pro and Con

Along one of the railroads leading from Phoenix Los Angeles there is a noble vineyard of many hundreds of acres On the railroad front there is a huge sign whose great letters proclaim, "Prohi- hition Will Destroy This Vineyard" Erected, spcuous and high. many of the buildings of San Francisco and Los Angeles great signs warning the people of California the destructive effect of prohibition not merely upon the beer industry of that state but of the calamitous to labor if pro- hbition should prevail On one of these signs is a picture of army of than 3OO0O and women whom prohibition seeks to destroy. We told, we believe, that if prohibition should be esab- nshed more than 35O00 persons in California would be affected Very evidently subject prohibition in California has to large extent deprived great element of Californians of apathy and substituted anxiety for it.
 It may be admitted that if prohibition should succeed in sister state the vineyard have men, toned would be destroyed; that is the vines would be destroyed by deadly to them than the woody aphis whatever enemy is particularly perncious to them for these vines produce only wine grapes And it is true that the hundreds laborers employed there and in the further handling of the products of the vines would be thrown out of those particular empoyments But the fertile ground that has produced those vines would remain to furnish happier employment
 As to the beer industry may admit that 35 OOe Californians now engaged in beer making and han ding beer in it's various stages until reaches the ultimate consumer would be engaged in that par tcuar line of California should vote pro- hibition. But they would be left with health and strength and courage to seek employment in other fields.
 Against this threatened inconvenience of a change of employment imposed upon 1000 Californians en- gagged in beer making and distribution we have an indefinite, though doubt, greater number of Calfornians whom the beer industry keeps perma- nently of employment and units for any sort of employment It impairs the wage earning power of many other thousands and altogether every year is destructive of the employment facilities of Caifor- nians far in excess of any number that might be brought by the baeful influence of prohibition upon the beer. wine and whisky industries of California.

MT. Campbell as an Orator

The speech of MT. Campbell at the republican meeting Monday night has been the subject of favorable comment by the many hundreds who heard him. But the character of his remarks and the im- pressive of their delivery occasioned prise the comparatively few who attended the campaign meetings of two years ago in which Mir. Campbell a successful candidate for the office of state tax commissioner.
 Mir. Campbells speeches then, recall them. about the only heard either side that seemed to impress audiences. Most of the other speeches consisted of pure bunk of it, perhaps presented rather artistically of awkwardly and pitifuly, but all of it. still bunk.
 MT. Campbell appeared be, with two exceptions two years the only orator who had real message to deliver and who capable of deiv erng it. The rest of the messages merely pelled wind without force shift ballot that they fell amlessly and naturally along party lines
