Insurance a Luxury

To an old darby hailed before him,
a southern judge put this question:
"Why did you burn your house
down just after getting it insured ?"
Whereupon the darby replied?"
''Yo' honoh, a pore man like me
can't afford to have house and in
surance too"

POPULARITY OF TWO FEATURE GR|D|RON GAMES ID BE TESTED Harvard-Yale and Army
 Navy Football Games
 May Be Played On Same Day

The probability that the Harvard-Yale and Army-Navy football games may be played on the same day next autumn is likely to develop an interesting test of the sports popularity in the east. Accord ing to the present plans the service game will be played at the Polo grounds on Saturday, November 25 On the same day at New Haven, less than 100 miles away, Yale and Harvard are scheduled to meet in their annual grdiron battle.
 The Yale bowl, with temporary seats placed along the wall-top concourse, can accommodate more than 10000 spectators and there is not the slightest doubt but that every seat will be occupied. At the Polo grounds close to 50,0O0 spectators can be accommodated, Sd that if both games draw full capacity 120,0O0 specta- tors will witness the play. To these 50OO0 who will attend minor college or interscholastic contests within a radius of 100 miles.
 Tn the past hundreds of football en- thusiasts have attended both the Yale- Harvard and Army-Navy games when they were played on succeeding Satur- days. Special trains have carried thou sa nds Iron. New York and Boston to the bis college football classic With a spectacular counter attraction, such as the Annapolis West Point contest on the same day it will be interesting to see from what sections the two big contests draw. In the case of the university game virtually all of the 7o,00O seats are sold at g each, giving g revenue of $140000. Not more than one-third of the Army-Navy seats are sold. but these bring s or more, so that about $14O,000 is derived from the paid admissions.

OUTLOOK INDICATES IA BANNER YEAR FOR AMATEUR BASEBALL
Managers Busy Getting Players in Line for the Approaching
 Season

Professional baseball has been the talk of the fans of Birmingham through the press and otherwise for the past few weeks, but another ele- ment of the game has quietly been making hay while the sun shines No sooner had the sa pfor the national pastime begun to rise than the usual large following of amateur baseball had begun to formulate plans for the coming season.
 The unlimited success which anna teur baseball gained last year has en- couraged firms and business houses in all parts of the county and especially in the Birmingham district to support amateur ball. The amateur fans and co-workers have been doing their work quietly. They have not received no- tice in the press every time they were reported dickering for 8 star perform CT. Publicity has been scarce for the little ones," but nevertheless they are achieving results.
 It will be remembered that last year amateur baseball won remarkable suc- cess in Birmingham, not for the back ing 1t had, but for the showing it made. There were 12 organized anna teur baseball leagues in the Birming- ham district last year and maybe 8 few more but not of any importance. These leagues represented about so or 90 teams, or almost 1000 players, if not more.
 The 12 leagues that composed anna teur baseball are as follows: City league, Recreation league. Boy Scouts league, B. R., l.. &c P. Co. league; Boys Club league. Greater Birmingham league, Miners league. Commercial league, Shelby County league, T. c. I. league and the Bessemer District league. There were several other leagues but who failed to identify themselves properly.
 These leagues were represented by the amateur baseball commission, which was composed of six members of the presidents of the most important leagues. This committee was the "su- preme court" of Birmingham amateur baseball and was looked upon as a commission of fairness and justice. This commission will hold meeting at an early date to decide the opening or amateur baseball season this season. The number of the leagues will be de- cided after the number of applications for berths in the league is made At any rate, amateur baseball man. agers and promoters are busy as can be at the present, lining up their men for the coming season and arranging things in general. It again looks like a banner year for amateur baseball. Plans are now quietly under way for another grand amateur baseball pa reant. similar to that held last year. If all amateur fans in Birmingham and the surrounding districts put their shoulders to the wheel the amateur baseball history of 1916 will go down in history as the greatest year to date, although it is still in it's early youth.

AMBITION ID BE CRACKERS MASCOT A Youth Writes President Baugh for Job as Aid to
 Cholly Frank

If the Atlanta club is in need of mas cot President Baugh has located the very thing for them. It is in the person of a hoy from Cave Springs, Ga, whose ambition in life is to be a mascot for the Crackers of baseball and carry pats and mits and gloves and balls.
 President Baugh received a very anus ing letter the other day from the youth, who in quaint language requested the po- sition of mascot for the Crackers. The letter was forwarded to the Atlanta club, and as Foxy Cholly Frank Is supersti- titious Dutchman, 1t is just possible that a young man from Cave Springs may have won himself job.
 The letter to President Baugh was written in remarkably neat hand. but inc spelling and capitalization was a caution The letter follows: MT. Baugh, Chairman, Ponce DeLeon
 Park, Atlanta, Ga.:
 Cave Springs. Ga. 2-24-16. My Dear Sir:-
 T am well. year.
 T want. to help you to carry bats gloves mitts, mask and ball for crack CTS. I want to be macoit of baseball. Il you want me to be macoit of baseball this spring am 16 years old. want to be job for crackers and am macoit of base ball, would like to see you and carry things for Crackers of baseball this spring. .
 Eff you want me to be macoit for crack CTS of baseball you must write to me soon. am sure to write to you soon. will send my address to you now. Write to me sOOn."
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-03-05

Baseball schedule experts are almost unanimous in expressing the opinion that the National league schedule, con- sidered as a whole, is one of the best balanced lists prepared in years. So far as the allotment of Saturday, Sunday and holiday dates is concerned the eight clubs of the organization share evenly. Every club secures 25 Sat urdays about equally divided between home and abroad. All receive three holidays with the exception of Bos- ton, which secures four. owing to the Bunker Hill day date. The four east ern clubs play from five to six Sun day games, Pittsburg Il and the oth- CT western teams IS or 19.
 The final days play in the Nation- al league is set for Thursday, October 5, and in the American league a day earlier, which will in all probability bring the opening game of the 1916 worlds series on Saturday October z. Under this arrangement the compet- ing clubs will be certain of one Sat urday game and if western clubs are
