A criticism often directed against
the Jersey breed is that the animals
are not hardy enough to stand severe
weather.
Possibly such criticism has as its
basis the fact that the climate of Jer.

has too many southpaws already he would do well to look the lad over care fully. Apparently he can hit, too, for he secured a couple of safeties off Per ryman in Mobile and registered one yes terday. Holmquist has not been ready and he was used in the eighth yester- day merely to get a line on what he could do. He did not show to great ad- vantage as the Barons found him for two singles and double, scoring two runs
 That third inning yesterday was re- marlSable in that every man on the team had a time at bat and O'Rourke Hauser and Perryman had two each. When the dust had cleared away it developed that the Barons had made five hits and scored seven runs, two of which were forced across the plate. Moore gave up six passes to first. He had distress signals flying all over him, but Schmidt made him stick it out to the finish of the inning anyway.
 The wisdom of Moley. in changing his batting order yesterday was early ap- parent. Caton showed well and made his bow to Birmingham fans with a screaming double to right field. His second appearance in the third was like wise successful, and he singled to right. Caton failed 10 score being caught at the plate on both occasions. The lad is daring base-runner and with proper coaching will make a sweet ball player.

 Pitchers of the Southern fear Cecil Coombs for with two men on yesterday Schmidt moved three feet from behind the plate and called for a walk. He wasn't taking any chances on Cecil. At that Cecil got away with a double and a single. Clark and Derrick shared hit ting honors of the game with a double and two singles each.
 The game this afternoon starts at 3:39 and let's all go out for the boys will not be here overly long.

Hauser was walked and Perryman sur- prised everybody, including himself, by single to right. Caton singled to right, his second hit of the game, and Hauser scored from second on, the hit. It was the Barons' first tally and the stands rocked. Mcdonald was then hit in the back by a pitched ball and Clark singled to right. scoring Perryman. Caton went out at the plate trying to duplicate IIauser's feat. Coombs was purposely walked, filling the bases, and another run was forced across when Lindsay likewise drew pass.

Hauser walked and Perryman drew a pass, forcing another run. Caton ended the inning by his tap to Whalen, going out at first.

Mcdowell hit the second ball pitched to left field for a clean single. Clancey. on an attempted sacrifice, popped to Perryman, who mis- judged it.

One hit, no runs and no errors.
 Birmingham: Caton doubled into the right field crowd. The hit would have been good for three sacks but for ground rules Mcdonald hit to short and was out at first, Caton taking third on the play. Clark hit a slow roller to sec ond and Caton was out at the plate on "a close play. Danny went out few minutes later trying to swipe second. One hit, no runs, no errors.

CROWD VERY ORDERLY

Police officials declared that the crowd was the most orderly with which they had ever had to deal at an opening day. There, was not a single arrest at the park and even the automobilists coming back curbed their desire to speed
 It was really wonderful crowd that witnessed the game and furnished the inspiration for such notable victory. Additional bleachers had been erected along the right field foul line, while the left and center-field bleachers were filled to their capacity and the crowd over flowed along the front of the stands In every avilable nook a rabid bug was tucked and when the crowd cut loose with the noise-making apparatus the lone man on Twentieth street pricked up his ears and wondered.

 The features of the game were the pitching of Taylor and the playing of Charleston in centerfed. Dismukes start ed the game and twired in grand style for five innings, but at this stage of the game was relieved by Taylor through mutual agreement made before the game began. Score: R.HE.

"The game just suited the fans and everyone to whom I talked were highly pleased at the showing made. l wish to compliment the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company. Despite the fact that it was practically the largest crowd we have ever had at the park it was transported more quickly than I have ever seen before. There was no congestion about the tracks and in an unbelievably short time the stands were empty. In going out too, there was plenty of room for everyone.

of the occasion.

Rarely, indeed, has there been such perfect weather for opening day and all things seemed to combine to give joy to the baseball lovers. The game was such an one as no loyal fan would have had otherwise, the handling of the crowds in Redwood Field was expeditions, those who came early were rewarded by their long wait by the drill of the Ala bama Boys Industrial school cadet corps, and in getting away from the park the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company surpassed itself in the transpor tation of the crowds.

My Bank"

Occasionally we hear man say, ''You can BANK my doing what have told you " In the mind of the masses, and justly so the bank is the symbol of per- feet rustworthines but until recently the great body of workingmen have had the opportunity to bank other than figure of speech 1t is true that the savings department of the commercial bank has always been open to them, but there its usefulness ended far as they were concerned. Such thing allowing workingman to borrow money on the same terms granted the merchant and manufacturer has never been done by commercial banks, and, in fact it would be impossible for them to do 1t. unless they made radical changes in their system Hence the workngman has been forced heretofore to go to the loan shark for money and having no alternative but to pay the extortonate interest demanded, has in many cases become a lifelong slave of this mon ster usurer
 The Trustees System of Industrial Banking, oper- ated exclusively by this company has made derful change for the workingman by giving him BANK in fact as we'll as Ill name. Today hundreds and hundreds of workngmen refer to this company as ssmy bank' with great deal of pride and affec- ton. They know that they can bank on this bank as one of them recently said, because they have proved time and time again that the line of credit which they have established here with their TRUSTEES COLLATERAL is good for an immed- fate loan The approach for the payment on the home or the life insurance policy no longer has any ter TOTS for them They do not spend seepless nights in guessing how they are to get the money. They also know that they do not have to put their families "short rations'' while meeting these payments. The workingman who is customer of ours simply says, s[ haven't got the money and I can't take it in q lump out of my wages, but my bank (The Trustees Loan & Guaranty Company, Inc, has told me can get it and l. know they good as their word.'' Consequently, he goes on with his work serenely and when the time comes for him to the money he gets it from us just as he knew he would do. He is bet ter husband and father, better employe and bet ter citizen because he has what he should have had long ago-,A BANK OF HIS OWN which recognizes

BOYS MAKE HIT

Especially do I want to thank the Boys Industrial school for their very en- tertaining music and delightful drill. It added just the touch which made the day perfect. The drill I think, was one of the prettiest I have ever seen, and the boys deserved every bit of the ap- plause they received. The band too, &C., quilted itself nobly.
