ALANTA AND 3. 4. [. BATTLE TOMORROW Locals Hold Long Practice. Odds Are In Favor of
 the Crackers

In anticipation of one of the hardest
 struggles of the present season in the
 Atlanta game tomorrow, Coach Brum-
 mage drove the Birmin gham Athletic
 club five through one of the longest
 and most important practices since the
 beginning of the season. The locals will
 be in great condition for the game and
 should give the Crackers a tough bat tie.
 Atlanta has one of the best teams sent out representing the Crackers in a
 number of years. Recently Atlanta de- feated Columbus for the fourth time in the history of the team and together with their other victories tend to show slight odds on the local five Atlanta swamped the Osteopaths by
 the score of 72 to 25, while the locals
 won by a close score. Vanderbilt de- feated the locals by a large score, about 15 points, While Columbus downed the Vandy five by two points who in turn lost to Atlanta. Compara tive scores show Atlanta to have the edge and the locals laboring under this difficulty, are rounding into form and will give Atlanta hard game. | The lineup of the locals will be changed a little from that of the past games, while Atlanta is composed of veterans and a wealth of new material
 The Crackers will invade Birmingham
 with a great team although they may not win
 Between the halves an extra added | attraction will be staged by Secretary Beavins. Ed Spencerand Elmer Heinze
 two of the best athletes in the city, will give an exhibition of hand balancing
 The performance will last but few minutes.

WOMEN TAKE TO TRAPSHOOTING

Are you afraid to handle firearms? :?
 Do you hold your hands over your ears
 when the villain points his automatic
 at the hero and steals across the stage?
 Does the sudden report of a gun make
 you jump? Not if you are a trap shooter. Thus spoke Mrs. w. A.
 Davis, of Chicago, the other day. Some women are afraid to touch re-
 volver or any kind of gun. They are
 afraid to have gun about the house. Now gun, to my way of thinking, is just about as harmless thing as there is, provided you know how to use it.
 shoot twelve gauge gun that weighs about eight poundS-Seven and three fourths pounds, to be exact. This IS the type used by many of the crack shots of America. For my twelve-year-
 old daughter, Caroline Mr. Davis has
 provided a twenty gauge gun that weighs five and one-half pounds. Lit
 tie guns for little girls MT. Davis says. and pass this on to you. Your arm and shoulder muscles may not be trained well enough to handle a heavy
 gun. If you are light in weight you
 will probably want a gun about the size
 of Carolines. The gun must fit The first test for size is to rest the butt of
 the stock in the crook of the arm, hold ing the gun straight up in the air Then the trigger finger of your right arm Cunless you are q left-handed shooter)
 must rest lightly and easily on the trigger"

.WYLAM OUTCLASSED
 BY DOGMA ELEVEN
Game Will Be Close. Woods Is DOcena's
 Strong Point

Docena and Vivian have strong teams to pit against each other Sat ! urday and in comparing the two it looks like Docena has Vivian bested in every department except the halfback | line. Woods, goalkeeper for Docena, is | the star of the league in this posi- tion and it is a difficult proposition
 to score on him. He is cool in the pinches gets rid of the ball quickly and uses good judgment at all times. Curdie, ,Wylam's goalkeeper, is a good man. but not in Woods class. James Brown and Brewis make q stronger pair than Tregembo and Jones on the fullback positions. Tregembo and Brown are about equal. With Brown having a little advantage in that he gives his teammates more en- couragement and is the spirit of the | team. Brewis is a better man than l Jones, having more experience, is a | better tackler and a cleaner kicker and | can cover more ground, while they are | both good players
 Brewis has the edge on Jones, Will as good as Strayhorn, S. Brown and h II. strength is and this trio of halfbacks are responsible for the good showing g | the Wylam team has made. Docena' s | halfbacks are good, Hardin being the | equal of any of them, while Williamson, l and Stewart are not quiet up to the | others. They will give a good account l of themselves.
 | Rowe and Black on the left wing l are on par with McPhearson and 1 Muir, as they are both fast and can | handle the ball with accuracy. The players on both wings are good shots | for goal. McNally has the edge on Will | son in the center forward position, be- | ing a faster player, can cover more ground and keeps his wing players working together at all times.
 Wilson will take some watching, as 1 he is dangerous around the goal. G. l Williamson and Henry McCrorie make stronger right wing than McMillen
 and Harry McCrorie. G. Williamson is one of the best forwards in the league and is the best that will be seen on | the field Saturday, is speedy, kicks ac- curate and shoots harder at the goal
 It was one of his fast ones that saved Docena against Edgewater on Janu-
 ary 1.
 | Docena is relying on Williamson to shoot the ball past Curdie enough times | to win the game. The other right wing players are good men and can be de- pended on to give lots of assistance The teams will lineup as follows Docena: Woods, goalkeeper; James | Brown and Brewis, fullback; William l son, Hardin and Stewart, halfbacl1
 Rome, Black, left wing; McNally, cen
 ter forward; G. Williamson and Henry

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Value of Velvet Bean

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 I have been much interested in re- cent efforts of the state department of agriculture to popularize the velvet bean as an article of commerce and among farmers as a highly nutritive forage crop, deserving of far wider recognition than is now being accorded it by the farmers of south Alabama. As a factor in farm diVersfication and agricultural economies, this effort on the part of the state department is to be commended.
 It is a mistake, however, to suppose that the recent literature emanating from said department contains any in formation of recent discovery regard ing the meritorious value of this plant. For 80 years or more the people Of Florida have cultivated and highly prized the velvet bean because of its high nutritive value, it's prolific growth and (being 1eguminous) it's value as soil enricher About 20 years ago, while chemist of the Florida eXperi- ment station I made, so far as l know, the first chemical analysis of the vel vet bean ever recorded, thus establish ing scientifically it's efficiency as a nutrient. My investigations were pub lished in a bulletin issued from the Florida experiment station about that time
 Several years later, while in charge of the department of chemistry at the University of Alabama, I published a card in the Montgomery Advertiser again calling attention to the high nu- tritive value of this plant mad urging a larger acquaintance with it on the part of Alabama farmers. As it's merits become better known, it is sure to re- ceive wider recognition throughout Al ln,, an excellent food crop and as an in comparable renovator of soils. Very respectfully, A. A. PERSONS,
 Bessemer, January IA, 1916.

pRITCHARO'S BOYS
 PREPARED FOR CAME WITH ETOWAH TODAY
Game Will Start Athletic Relations of the High Schools In New
 Organization

The initial contest of the Alabama In terscholastic Athletic conference will be played this afternoon at o'clock at the Birmingham Athletic club gymnasium when the basketball teams of Central High school and Etowah County High school meet. The game will be preceded by appropriate ceremonies.
 The game will undoubtedly be one of the closest and best games on the locals schedule during the entire sea son. Coached by $. R. Hutton, the cali bre of the Etowah team is known throughout the state. Last year Cen tral scored a victory over the AttaIla five by a close score and won the state basketball high school champlonshlp. During the past football season EtoWah defeated Central and vanished all hope of the locals of winning the high school gridiron honors of the state. The game will be made lively by the one question of revenge, which both teams are anX- ious to receive.
 The locals are in fine condition and will present their strongest lineup or the season. Harrell may not be availa- bIe for service at forward, but the chances are that the star of the Pritch- ard five will appear in the lineup, to- gether with Montgomery at the opposite forward Both Harrell and Montgom- cry are fast and dangerous men, es- pecially so on the offense. Their goal shooting should terrorize the Etowah five to a certain extent
 Hahn will be at center and provided that Hub" renders the same service as he has in the former games, he will be chief factor in a possible defeat of the Etowah five. With the return of Dorskey to the game, Coach Pritchard will have a reliable guard to run into the game should Roberts and Hall play off form. Dorskey was star guard on last years team, but owing to the fact that he reported for practice only dur ing the present week, he has not been able to show Coach Pritchard his real value. He will probably be given chance in the game today.
 Nothing is known of the Etowah five excepting the fact that they have powerful five Coach Hutto and his team will arrive this morning and leave at o'clock for Attalla. The game promises to be the best high school game in the city this season. A record breaking crowd is expected to witness the game.

FORMAL TRANSFER
 OF CUBS COMPLETED
Check for $500,OO0 Turned Over to Taft's Represen-
 tative By Weeghman

Chicago, January 20-Formal trans fer of the Chicago Nationals from Charles P Taft of Cincinnati to Charles IT. Weeghman of Chicago was completed today with the presentation of certified check of $5OO,O00 by MT. Weeghman to Charles Schmalstig, rep resentative of Mr. Taft.
 The transfer was made in the pres ence of President Tener of the Ma tional league, Harry Ackerland, a stockholder of the Chicago Nationals William Walker and Adolph Schuet- tier, stockholders in the old Chicago Federals, and Charles Thomas. last seasons president of the Chicago Ma tionals.
 With the transfer of MT. Tafts stock to MT. Weeghman today, the latter be- came the sixth man to control the cor poration. Albert G. Spalding organized the club in 1876. The transfer was one of the last acts designed to create base ball peace following the agreement reached recently at Cincinnati between the Federal league and organized base ball interests. Only the withdrawal of Iue lHJ uHCliOi SuIl, bIOuSHl by llIe Y eu- eral league, pending before federal Judge K. M. Landis, remains to end the controversy,
 MT. Weeghman said today that if Roger Bresnahan, former manager of the National league club, wished to pur- chase the Toledo American association club, he would be willing to help him. He said that Bresnahan's contract, which has two years to run, would be taken care of. Joe Tinker, it has been announced by MT. Weeghman, will sue ceed Bresnahan as manager of the Ma tional league club.
 Walter Heating, shortstop of last years National league club, has been sold to the St. Joseph, Mo, club of the Western league, it was announced to-
