To keep ones body in such condition that one can call upon it for the maxi mum effort for sustained periods it is necessary not only to undergo periods Of hard training but one must do some work each day, according to Charles Cutler, one of the most famous wrestlers in America today.
 Birmingham wrestling fans will have an opportunity of seeing Cutler again here next Thursday night when he meets Nicholas Orloff, cossack champion of Russia, at the Jefferson theatre in a fiji ish match for the purse of $1000 which Brown Parkes who is promoting the matches. has offered the winner
 Cutler is regarded as an authority on the proper care of ones body and his re- marks on the subject of training are of especial value because he has attained such success with his own training.
 While periods of hard training are necessary before one goes into a big match" says Cutler in explaining hls training methods, it is mistake to be- lieve that one can begin this period of

I have seen it tried and I have seen men who I am confident would have been heard from had they observed the simplest rule of training fail on this account.

I have done that.

PEL|CANS FORGED ID SURRENDER LEAD ID ATLANTA CRACKERS
Pennant Belongs to Any Club With Possible Excep- tion of MObile-BarOns
 Better Standing

Atlanta, April 29.-For the first tiunc since the 1917 race for the Southern association pennant got under way, the week just ended has seen New Orleans forced to surrender the leader ship for at least day, and tonight, the Pelicans shared honors with Att lanta. in tie for the top of the column position.
 Chattanooga. which went into the lead Sunday by winning from Little Rock, dropped back to third today by losing to Nashville, while Atlanta con- six straight victories since Monday and only one defeat for the entire weeks play of seven games.
 The performance of the Crackers stands out still more sharply as the feature of the week. because the feat which sent them from fifth place into a tie for first was accomplished by separate pitchers, each hurling a full game and averaging less than hits a contest.
 Beginning with Tuesdays game with Birmingham, in which Fullenweder held the Barons to five hits, the record of Atlanta pitchers was. Wednesday; Day against Birmingham five hits; Thursday Sheehan against Mobile, three hits; Fri day: Brennan against Mobile, seven hits; Saturday: Bressler against Mobile, seven hits Sunday: Hess against Mobile, eight hits.
 The week also marked a decided slump in the Little Rock Travellers. who won one game out of seven in a series of close and hard hitting contests. Mobile continued it's losing streak, also dropping six out of seven, including four straight to Atlanta, while New Orleans lost their early season stride, winning three and losing four Memphis ended the stretch with the same percentage of victories and defeats for the week as New Or leans Birmingham won four and lost three.
 The champion Nashville volunteers who found themselves last Sunday tied for the last place with Mobile, went through the week at a fast pace, winning five out of seven games and tieing with Birmingham and Memphis for fourth place. Chattanooga, playing the same good game that marked their start three weeks ago, also got through with five out of seven and ended the week in third place as compared to fourth place last week
 The closeness of the recent play has caused experts throughout the circuit to be at one in the opinion that the pen nant struggle will prove the hottest the Southern has seen for years. revamp- ing of ante-season predictions indicates the race is any teams with the possible exception of Mobile

BLUE MONDAY
By BILLY SUNDAY, Famous Evangelist

You see lot of fellows drag them selves into their jobs on Monday morning as if someone had run them through the clothes ringer when they got up.
 Blue Mondayr' they call it.
 Take the binders off You never saw a skate that could trot in 2:1O wearing them. He has to see where he's stepping.
 Most of the ginks that talk about Blue Monday are as shaky as jelly and have as much backbone as Charlotte Russe. They are as nerv- ous as an amateur automobile driver when he hears a shoe blow out for the first time.
 Monday wouldn't be so blue if you played it safe on Saturday night They talk about wine flowing like water. Take a tip from me.
 Stick around where wine flows like glue on a cold morning.
 Grapes are all right until they are squeezed, but the juice goes in easy After you get a skin full, it is no cinch to get it out It blocks the pores
 Don't let them laugh at you be- cause you don't buy. I've been over to the poor house to see many good spender.
 It's all right to have them call you hard boiled egg if you carry a nest egg, too. Lots of us would be better off if it made us nervous to address a stamped envelope for fear we would waste it.
 When I hear a fellow buying wine now, I know he is three steps back of the times, and he reminds me of an office with yesterdays date still hung up on the calendar.

 The tenth saw the fireworks. Ellis led off with double to left field. Clark was out, but Ellis moved to third and scored on Caton's single over short. Smith hit one to left field, which Syl- vester tried to stop, but could not. He did not make a step to get the ball ana .tRed" circled the paths with Caton ahead of him.

 Four Hundred Thirty-four orders. amounting to Four Hundred Twenty two dollars ($42200) worth of busi- ness. secured in four days by three young ladies.
 Pretty good record, isn't 1t?
 How did they do it? They did 1t in the only way possible-by making use of the opportunity of the tele- phone.
 In no other way could these young ladies have personally solicited this business in less than three weeks. Even then the total would have been far less. Then you ask, ''Is tho tele- phone valuable to the business man?" As is the case with almost any par ticular thing, the telephone Is just what you make 1t. But its posslbIli- ties are unlimited. The telephone can be made one of the most important departments of almost any business. To me, the telephone is indispensa- ble. I could not succeed in my work without it. Take away the telephone and you take away the right arm of my departmental not both arms.
 want to congratulate you on your service. Southern Bell means good service everywhere, but your service this week has been unequalled.
