CT, and fans over the circuit hope to see him stick
 Speaking of Dolly Stark, Fuzzy Woodruff in the Atlanta Georgian, comments on the Memphis pilot in the following language:
 When the Chicks went on the Teld Monday afternoon Dolly Stark was their manager. When he went off he was; but his days at the helm were numbered, and it's a very safe bet that when George Moriarity comes to take charge of the Chicks he is go- ing to find a badly disorganized ball club awaiting him.
 Same old story Busy directors at home who know about as much about baseball as they do about Sanscrit trying to run a, baseball mans busi- ness. With this condition prevailing Moriarity is doomed before be ever sinks his spikes on Southern dia- mond.
 And let me tell you something, folks. That was the gamest piece of baseball business l ever had the pleas ure of witnessing Monday afternoon. Stark knew that the can had been ap- piled to him. His heart was as heavy as burglar proof safe with fat cashier locked inside. If ever a man had a right to think and do bitter things it was Stark. He was a sick man. who had thrown himself into the fray at the risk of his own health and the happiness of his own loved ones to save a ball club, and that ball club had fired him.
 But di6 Stark quit?
 Not that anybody noticed. He played as brilliant 8 game around the short field as Ponce DeLeon patrons have seen this season. Our deep obeisance.'

METHOD|STS OFF
 FOR TWO SERIES Coach PinsOn's Boys Will Meet Marion and South
 ern on Trip

The Birmingham college baseball team left this morning for a weeks trip in south Alabama. While away they will meet Southern and Marion in a series of three games each.
 Recently Birmingham college and Southern university broke even in a two-game series here, and every effort will be used to cop the series at Greens boro Friday and Saturday.
 Earlier in the season Marion took the large end of a three-game series and Birmingham has yet a chance to down Marion by taking all three games at Marion Monday and Tuesday of next week. The Methodists were a. little off color in the early part of the season and were not in regular form, but aft CT their successful string of victories they are in the best of spirits to cop the series.
 The Methodists returned last Sunday from north Alabama, where they won five out of eight games, which is not so bad for any road trip.
 Nation will probably oppose zachery at Greensboro today

The slowness of the rain to fall and the fact that the game was not called near 3;30 o'clock found members of both teams at Redwood ready to. play.

When Walker left Milwaukee he told the scribes and other inquis- itive persons that he was leaving for Birmingham and they took this to mean that he had signed with the Barons. A large number of the southern papers carried the story that Walker had been signed by the Barons and although there is no doubt but that Dixie. would make the Barons valuable man, fans will not have the opportusity of seeing him work in the box for the local club.
 LII Marcan, former Baron in fielder. who started with the Crackers this season. but who was released day or two ago, is W ork- ing out on the Cracker yard every day in an effort to round himself into condition so he can get a good job with some club in this or some other league.

CRUISING UNDER WATER.
Submarines Are Light Moving and Are
Easily Controlled.

Submarines Are Light Moving and Are
Easily Controlled.
Ashore we make the mistake per
haps of thinking Of a submarine as
heavy, bgy body fighting always for
her life beneath an unfriendly ocean,
whereas she is a light moving, easily
controlled creature cruising in a rather
friendly element
The ocean is always trying to lift her
atop and not hold her under water. A
submarine could be sent under with a
positive buoyance so small-that is,
with so little more than enough in her
tanks to sink her-that an ordinary
man standing on the sea bottom could
catch her as she came floating down
and bounce her up and of merely by
the strength of his arms. Consider a
submarine under water as we would a
toy balloon In the air, say. Weight
that toy balloon so that it just falls
to earth Kick that toy balloon and
what does it doi Doesn't 1t bounce
along and after a few feet fall easily
down again and up and on and down
again?
Picture a strong wind driving that
toy balloon along the~street and the
balloon as it bumps along meeting an
obstacle. VIII. the balloon smash itself
against the obstacle or what viii it do
What that balloon does Is pretty much
what a submarine would do if while
running along full speed under water
she suddenly ran into shoal water She
would go humping along ON the bottom
and meeting an obstacle, if not too
high, she would be more likely to
bounce over it than to smash herself
against it.-Collier's.

HOW RED CROSS SEAL
IDEA CAME INTO BEING


Originating In Norway, Method Was
Taken Up Here Nine Years Ago.
Over 3s.250,000 has been raised by
Hed Cross Christmas Seals in the last
sight years. and yet many people who
win buy these holiday stickers at this
ninth annual sale do not know how
this idea originated.
While Red Cross Seals really date
back to the Civil War when Charity
Stamps" were first used, the first cam
paign 70 sell holiday stickers for the
tuberculosis fight was only nine years
ago in Delaware Miss Emily P. Bis
eeIl Of Wilmington, read an article by
Jacob Riis describing stamps used for
tuberculosis work in Norway. and she
conceived the idea OF similar plan
here. Single handed. she launched q
sale which resulted In $4,000 clear
money. When Miss Bissell tried TO
convince the American Red Cross that
this idea should be made national as a
peace activity OF that society, she met
with opposition, but finally persuaded
the authorities, with the result that on
an investment OF a few hundred dol
lars S1s6 900 worth of Seals was sold
In 1908 and the great national cam
paign was launched. Since then the
sale has gone forward by leaps and
bounds, until now the Red Cross Seal
Is an institution in the United States,
and offers to every one chance to
help In the peoples fight against the
peoples disease. Last year over 49,
100000 Seals were sold, and this year
sAe American Red Cross and The Ma
e1onal Association for the Study and
Prevention Of tuberculosis, who con-
duct the sale, are out for 100000
sale or $1,000, geo for the tuberculosis
War.
The policy on which the sale is con-
Quoted IL that the money, except for
thu deduction Of legitimate expenses,
shall remain in the community where
the Seals are sold.

To our house in Monterey Mr.. Ste

dent about his work, he always SEEM
ed to feel sort of shy anxiety lest it
should not be up to the mark.
In this way we heard "Tbe Pavilion

at Monterey and read to US chapter

pen. While there he began another
