 a Year

His salary, considerably in excess of that which he obtained under the previous contract, is said to be great CT than that ever paid any manager or player, except, possibly Manager Me Graw of the New York Nationals. It is estimated that the figure approximates $20, GOO a year.
 The manager of the Braves was already under agreement to direct the team for two more years, but the new owners, headed by President Percy D. Haughton, wanted to be assured of his services for a longer term, according to Business Manager Walter E. Hapgood The sub ject was discussed during Stallings re- cent visit here, but it was only today that his signed contract for the new man. agement was received.

ments of the regular estimate into brig ades of three regiments each, bat tallons into regiments companies into battalions and platoons into companies. He had no fear that sufficient men would not volunteer in any serious emergency.
 Senator Nelson, in proposing standing army of 100000, said enlistment should be for five years, one with the colors and the other four in reserve. That would mean an army of 100000 trained men in five years, he added. He pointed out that this plan was adopted by Prussia when the treaty of Paris imposed upon her in 1897 the obligation to maintain no greater standing army than 42,000 men. An army of 150,O00 was trained in a short time.
 Investigation by a special joint com mittee of Congress into any alleged con nection of army or navy Officers, ac- tive or retired, with private munition manufacturers was proposed in a resolu- tion introduced in the Senate today by Senate Lane. It also proposes investiga- tion of the Navy league and Labors Ma tional Peace council. e

 Contracts

According to a telegram received office, Manager Carleton Molesworth of the Barons will leave his home in Fred rick, Md, Wednesday and reach this city to be ready for work on Thurs day, February 3, as announced in Sun days Age-Herald. Immediately follow ing his arrival the chubby leader will settle down to work in sending out contracts for the coming season
 The coming of Moley will inject new life into the baseball realm in Bir- mingham. The lack of news concern ing the prospects and outlook of the Barons has caused the local fans deep worry and not that the fellow that knows it all'' will soon be on his way to the Magic City, the future of the 1916 team will shortly be settled.
 With the exception of Johnny Dobbs and Moley every other manager in the league has been at work securing new players and preparing for the opening of the training camp for the last month Dobbs has wealth of promising ma terial, including several old heads.
 Dobbs and Moley always produce win ners, and local fans are not worried that Moley not being in the district will iniure the chances of the Barons. After work is once started the Barons will Init the trail" ready for the grind.
 About 20 contracts will be mailed out by the Baron leader, the majority to youngsters.

INITIATES THE COLONEL

Washington, January 31.-(Special.) President Wilson has initiated in one respect, at least, the boisterous colonel. He has termed certain men liars.
 The chief executive, as is remem- bered, stated in his New York address, that his Mexican information was fur nished him by men who premeditatedly lied
 Since then the papers of. the east have been full of comment, criticism and speculation. The Washington Star prints a very effective cartoon in which Roosevelt is depicted in growing dis position and made to declare: "He has swiped another of my policies"
 The Washington Post, editorially calls on the President to name the liars. The Post also prints long list of distinguished men who, during the last few years, have given the President advice and information re- garding Mexican conditions. The paper wonders which one of the several dis tinguished men-or if all of them were in the Presidents mind when he characterized his infOrmants as liars
 Since the unusual remark of the President one member of Congress greets another: Good morning, are you liar?"
 And probably the President has swiped a Roosevelt policy which will become slogan in the ensuing cam paign.

METHODIST FIVE
 MEETS ANN|STON
 PREDS TONIGHT
OwentOn Followers Rest Claims on Gillian and Nor tOn-The Locals Are
 FavOrites

Following their victory over the crack Central High school five yesterday aft ernoon the Alabama Presbyterian col Iege of Anniston will take on the Br- ringham college outfit tonight on the locals campus at S:3o O clock. The Meth odists are slated to win without much trouble
 Coach Pinson has his team in condition for the game, and will show the Preds how to play basketball. The Preds by their game yesterday illustrated that they have a god team and although not of the caliber of the Methodists, Coach Pinson will have his men in good condition to be able to withstand anything that the Preds might offer.
 Gillam, the Methodists' trump card will be there in full force to especially see that the visitors are defeated. Gillian is in excellent condition and should make the Anniston chaos open their eyes as to basketball playing. In Cook, Coach Pinson has a good partner for the popu- lar blonde. This pair should give the Preds trouble.
 Manager Norton will have days work in keeping the elongated Bryan from dropping them in the basket The long boy" usually makes his goal while two or three of the opposing players are try ing to get the ball out of his outstretched hands Laughinhouse and Neill should be able to hold Simpson and billiard in check.
 The only hope of the Preds is to keep Gillam out of the game, while the only hope of the Methodists is that Manager Norton can stop Bryan from dropping them in. The game will be a good one. the odds favor the Owenton five.

The Greatest Sea Depths

II
 A piece of iron will sink to the bot tom no matter how deep the water is, because water is only slightly compress sble. If water were highly compressi- ble, as air is the water at a great depth would be much denser, and therefore heavier, and an object would sink until it reached a point at which its weight would be less than that of the water which 1t displaced and there it would float, as clouds float in the atmos- phere. But cubic foot of iron weighs more than a cubic foot of water at a depth of two miles just as it does at the surface. and therefore containues sinking until it reaches the bottom. This is just off the Philippine Island of Mindanao. Several other points in the Pacific show depths of over 30,000 feet. From the lowest sea depth to the highest mountain peak is 61,090 feet, which is about 11700 of the earth s diameter.

ANN|STON PREDS
 DEFEAT CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL FIVE
Locals Completely Surprised and Preds Win Close Game-MOntgOmery and
 Bryan Star

The Central High school basketball team met it's first defeat of the year yesterday afternoon, when the Alabama Presbyterian college. of Anniston, com pletely surprised Coach Pritchard's quin- tet and scored an important victory, the final score being 2 to g. Only by the sensational playing of Bryan, the giant center, were the Preds able to defeat the locals.
 The locals were completely off form. Their teamwork, with the exception of Roberts and Montgomery, was poor, being the chief cause of their defeat. The eff fcient playing of every member of the squad that has been a feature of the pre- vious victories was entirely absent, and local supporters saw after the game had but started that the Central five was not in working form.
 The Central five fought hard through out but the team was not in condition for the fray The Annston five was primed for the game and rushed the play as much as possible when they saw the locals fading under their attack. The locals fought hard to overcome the handicap they were playing under, but failed The fault lies with no one but the players . themselves and not with Coach Pritchard
 Anniston displayed good teamwork and showed superior playing in the game Cen tral has without doubt the better team, but judging from the brand of play they exhibited yesterday they would make a feeble foe for a county high school team. A return game will probably be arranged.
 Montgomery played a brilliant game for Central together with Roberts, at guard. Other Central players were completely off form. Bryan at center was the star for the Preds The game was filled with enthusiasm throughout and until the last few minutes of play the result of the game was in doubt. Three field goals in quick succession put the Preds in the lead and the game ended in few min- utes after Montgomery made two beau- tiful field goals
 Anniston led at the end of the first half by a score of 14 to 10, and although Gen. tral tied the game several times during the second half, they lacked the punch to hold the lead.
 The defeat of Central will have an important bearing on the prep champion ship of the state. Heretofore Central had met and defeated all opponents. Provided a return game is not granted, Central will be eliminated from another chance at first honors.
 The summary follows:
 Central-Montgomery and Harrell, for wards; Hahn, center; Hall and Roberts, guards.
 Anniston-Simpson and billiard, guarGs; Bryan. center; Gibson and Wilcox, guards.
 Field Goals-Dillard 3, Bryan g, Harrell l, Montgomery 5, Hahn f.
 Foul Goals-Simpson B. Harrell l. Rob- erts 1, Montgomery 1.
 Referee, Brummage. Time of halves, 20 minutes. Substitutions: Jones for Harrell; Kelly for Hall; Hagan for Kelly

 If the matches prove to be popular in Birmingham, big, famous wrestlers will be brought here. It will be remem- bered that last year, under the direc- tion of the Birmingham Athletic club
 boxing and wrestling matches were staged with great success. A few of these bouts displeased the public and the popularity of wrestling slowly faded out. Every effort will be made to make the bouts "open and above board" Only the best wrestlers will be brought to the city.
 The announcement of MT. Nespor will
 be welcomed in Birmingham. There are numerous lovers of the mat game in Birmingham and the good bouts, to- gether with the low price, which is only 25 cents, should prove a big drawing card.
