Indorses Proposed Cam paign to Secure Sunday
 School Funds

"I see we are going to have new be 8 good one.'' It was Carlton Moles- worth, manager of the Barons, who was speaking. Ut looks very much like I am going to get mixed up with it, too. In fact. I have accepted an invitation to attend banquet to-he given at the Hotel Hillman Tuesday evening, at which time [ understand the organization will be perfected.
 This will be unique league. although the names of the teams are familiar to us all I notice the Cubs, Giants, Braves, Phillies, Red Sox, Pirates and Dodgers will be represented. The league refer to is the Birmingham Sunday School Canvass league. Instead of play ing baseball the teams will raise money for a two-years' budget of the Birming- ham Sunday School association.
 T am informed that the association is the best city association in the world and I am sure the canvassers will have no trouble in raising the necessary funds to sustain their association. I under stand lots of pep is to be put into the canvass, and I expect to have very en- joyable time at the banquet. We hear which I understand means physical, men tai, social and spiritual growth.
 1T am glad to know that the church folk are paying more attention to the boys physical development"

METHODIST FIVE MAKES FIRST ROAD
 TRIP WEDNESDAY
To Meet Selma, Marion and the Southern University. Game Here Tues
 day Night

The Birmingham college basketball team will meet the Southern university team on Tuesday night on the locals campus at SEQ o'clock in what will be one of the final home games for the Methodist five. Following this game the Methodists will leave on a road trip, playing four games.
 The Methodists are in good condition and will face the Southern university lads with odds greatly favoring them. Practice recently has worked wonders with the team, and with the help of Gill lam and Norton, Coach Pinson has his squad in the best shape of the year. Light workouts have been held almost every day, and as result the Metho- dists are showing continued improve ment.
 The Methodists are having 8 success fu1 season. They have met defeat but once and that from the Central High school five near the start of the season. Since then the Methodists have not tasted defeat.
 On the road trip, which starts Wednes- day, the Methodists first go to Selma, where they take the Sellna !. M. C. A. From there they travel to Marion, where they hook up with the fast Marion insti- tute five, which is one of the best in the state judging from the results of their latest games. Southern university at Greensboro is met in two games, which concludes the trip
 Returning. the Methodists meet Central High in two return games which will clost the basketball season. The Meth odists are placing much responsibility on Gillam during the coming games, and the blonde is expected to practically win the games together with a small amount of help. Norton at center is good, while Cook at forward is also above the aver age Neill is a good but inexperienced guard, while Laughinhouse, although a is good only on the defense. The Methodists present very formidable lineup, and the road trip should be sue cessful.

GORTON AGAIN HEAD
 COACH AT '. M. l. Abell, Randolph and Leech to Be Assistants-The
 Prospects Great

Lexington, February l2.-(Special) Now that the football season Of 1915 has passed into history and the bas- ketball schedule has been more than half played, those who have charge of the direction of athletics at the vir- ginia Military institute are beginning to look forward to the coming year as whole, and particularly to the foot ball season of 1916.
 Frank H. Gorton, whose splendid eff ficiency not only as coach of football, baseball, basketball and track, but also as general director of athletics at the institute for the past two years, will be retained as head coach in all branches of sport for 1916-17 Gorton arrived at V. M. I. in the fall of 1914
 The burden of coaching both the line and back of the varsity, as well as taking general supervision of all of the other squads has been so heavy that Coach Gorton applied to the graduate manager, Colonel Henry c. Ford. for an assistant coach to help him With the line. After an extended correspondence on the part of the graduate manager and the coach, the name of Earl c. Abell, captain and tackle on Colgate and Walter Camps choice for all- American tackle, was decided upon and approved by unanimous vote of the athletic council. Everybody, especially Coach Gorton, is much pleased over the prospect of having Abell here next season to help whip the team into shape. Of Abell's ability both as coach and as player. everyone who has followed his record through four years of college football, speaks in the highest terms.
 The institute is again to be congratu- lated upon once more having the serv- ices of pr. Oscar Randolph, the foot ball rector" the star quarter of Vir- ginia of several seasons past who for several years now has ungrudgingly volunteered his time and talents, and devoted much of his energies In the in- terest of all kinds of sports at the in- stitute. Capt. l.. l.. Leech, who played star ball while cadet and who, dur ing 1914 and 1915, rendered Coach Cor ton such able assistance in the devel- opment of the scrubs, will again be on hand to help make the season of 1916 go down in athletic annals as a season of victories.

PROSPECTS BRIGHT
 FOR WINNING NINE
 FOR P|NSON'S BOYS
Wealth of New Material to Fill Five Vacancies-Is Strong in Pitching
 Department
By GUY NATION

Whenever the warm days of spring be- gin to appear, they drive an inward spirit" into the heart of every baseball enthusiast. both players and fanatics.
 It is just such days that has driven the spirit out on the western border of the Magic City to place known as Birming- ham college.
 The sap is rising consistently and the prospects are indeed bright for a winner this year, as Coach Pinson only loses five men, Jones at shortstop, Davenport and Big" Cappo, outfielders; Scott, a catcher, and Hammond, the /'lanky' pitcher.
 There is a wealth of experienced new material to fill these vacancies. There is Gillian and Cook for Scott's position be- hind the bat. Gillian has seen good serv- ice at the Central High school and Cook with the Ensley High school. The pitch ing staff will be problem this year, as there are Lester, Ardis, Campbell, Will Hams and Nation to choose from Les ter is southpaw and halls from the AL bertville Aggies. Ardis is big right handler and has seen service in the Miners league for the past two seasons. CdIAppSl IS d fISnC ndnOef ana plays the outfield as we'll as pitch. He halls from the Jacksonville State normal Will Hams is lanky'' right handler and made nifty reputation as pitcher in south Alabama. Nation has been regular for two seasons. Again there is Boyd and $. Ware to take care of the initial cor ner. Manager Neill can deliver the right package at the keystone corner.
 A new shortsmith will have to be de- veloped. Walton, a regular, will again demonstrate his ability at the third post, Norton will again cavort in the center position. The most promising material for the other two outfields are as follows: Harris c. Morris, Jacobs. Clayton, King, Hanes, Blanton, Tucker.
 If 8 good pitching staff can be devel- oped, Campbell will be used as regular outflelder, as he has the reputation of be- ing good hitter.
 The Methodists are to be watched this season. They will produce strong nine and should make the standard set by pre- Vious baseball team. Prospects are great and followers can expect Coach Pinson to turn out good team.
 The following games have been ar- ranged, although the exact dates have not been set:
 On the campus Marion, Southern uni versty, Cumberland, University, South western Presbyterian university, Mercer and Howard.
 On the road: Marion, Southern uni versity, St. Bernard college, Spring Hill.
 Other games are pending and one of the hardest schedules in several years will face the nine

WILL BUILD SPUR
 TO RIVER FRONT

tuscaloosa, February Especially )-The Louisville and Nashville Railroad com pany Will build a spur track from the main line of their Tuscaloosa Mineral branch to the site selected by the Tender son Lumber company, according to relia- ble information received here today. It is known that this company has already be- gun to procure title to rights of way to the site of this plant, which is to be To- cated about seven miles north of Tusca- ioosa on the Warrior river. It is also understood that the Louisville and Nash vile railroad will acquire rights of way through the plant of the Henderson Lum- Der company to the water front In the opinion of local citizens this action on
 part of the Louisville and Nashville means that it expects the Warrior river to become a great carrier of traffic and is providing for space on the river front to erect wharves in case they are needed.

LIQUOR TAX FOR
 THE TRI-CITIES ALSO

Sheffield, February 12.-(Special) )-The people of the tri-cities of Sheffield, Flor ence and Tuscumbia, who must have their regular shipments of liquor. will probably have an extra tax to bear, if the proposed plan to- tax liquor shipments is adopted by the local officials. Other cities in the state are adopting the measure, and it is very probable that the same regulation will be adopted here In fact, the matter has already been discussed informally. and the city commissioners are to meet shortly and reach a decision. If the meas ure is adopted a goodly revenue will be secured as shipments of liquor have been growing larger.
