"the champion banjo player of Ala

an example of real darky music, a

that pervades the household. When
dinner was announced and the dining

its burden consisted of almost every
thing to tempt the appetite. The
menu showed the most careful and
perfect culinary skill and care and if

it was a%bundantly provided here.
A mention of this home would be
incomplete. without referring to the
two dear little children, Mary Moore
and W. NJ. Jr.. both of whom are the
pride of the father and the mother.
They show that their every thought
and carr is well looked after by the
ever thoughtful and good mother.
The evening was a most pleasant
one and departure was delayed until
the hour admonished our party that
the next days duties demanded st
home be sought.

 The purse, the second largest ever offered for a match, stands unchanged at S60,000, with a $10,OO0 bonus. Will lard's share will be $47,5 and Moran's $22500
 Seats will be constructed, according to Rickard, to accommodate 13,000 per- sons. Prices will range from $50 for ringside boxes to 8 for rear seats. This will mean that the promoters will receive an average of probably $9 a seat, providing the garden is filled to capacity.
 Sporting experts tonight estimated that the total receipts would have to be around $120,000 to return a profit. In addition to the purse, bonus and rental of the garden, a tax of 7h per cent of the gross receipts must be paid to the state under the law. It is said portions of the main floor of the garden will be built up on an in cline to permit the larger seating ca pacity. Ordinarily the garden will seat about 10000 persons Whether there will be any prelim- inaries has not been decided. Rickar6 said the referee and stakeholder prob ably would be named tomorrow. The offer of so large a purse for 2 10-round bout has caused much specula. tion among the sporting fraternity here.

ANOTHER BARON
 ARRIVES IN CITY Danny Clark Signed and Reports Ready for
 Work

Another Baron quietly made his ap- pearance in Birmingham yesterday, fol- lowing out the policy set by Manager Carlton Molesworth on last Thursday The latest arrival to the city is Daniel Clark, the youngest but one of the most efficient player on the team who ca vorted around the keystone in grand style last season. Danny hais from Me ridian, Miss.
 Danny could not bear to stay away from Birmingham any longer and with the arrival of spring weather, the pop ular Baron hearing of the coming of Moley, decided to join in the ranks of those present" Danny reached the city yesterday and increased the number of Birmingham players in the city to four. He has already signed his 1916 contract.
 Berlie Grimes and Cecil Cocmbs have been wintering in Birmingham Grimes is working at the steel mill, while Lord Cecil is a brakeman on a passenger train between Birmingham and Atlanta. Moley has been here since Thursday and Danny completes the quartette.
 Other Baron players are scattered over the entire globe, but are in hailing dis tance of Moley. Bill Lindsay is the most recent Barton to be heard from. Moley received a letter from genial Bill yes- terday, wanting to know the reporting time and stating that he was in the pink of condition. The arrival of other Barons should now come fast and thick.

Clipped Ears Costly

Selma, February S.-(Special.) )-The fact that almost every Dallas county hog has its ears clipped as a means of identifi- cation cost E. H. Aston, Pleasant Hill farmer, just one and one-half cents a pound on two cars of hogs shipped from Selma tc St. Louis Packers in St. Louis say that clipped ears are a sure evidence that the hogs have been running on the range and they will not pay the full price for the meat. MT. Aston an- nounced two weeks ago that he would be in Selma each Saturday and would buy hogs from the farmers, provided the hogs were corn fed. He gathered two cars and shipped them to the packing plant, only to be advised that the clipped ears made it impossible to pay the full price
