 FOR BATTLE WITH
 THE K|WAN|S CLUB
Umpire for Benefit Game Must Yet Be Selected. Game Will Start at
 3 O'Clock

Plans are rapidly being completed for the big ball game at Redwood Field Wednesday between the Kiwanis Indians and the Rotarians, for the benefit of the Boys club. Both teams have been prac- tcing regularly for the past 10 days and some snappy brand of ball is promised.
 Line-ups for the teams have practically been settled. Only one stumbling block remains to blur clean slate for the preparation committee-that of selecting an umpire. A number of prominent ball players, umpires and citizens have been named, but none selected to date. It is probable that Scotty Chesnutt will draw the assignment.
 The game will start promptly at 3 o'clock. A grand street parade on Wednesday, will be marsaled by Sol Ca- heen.
 The probable lne-ups of the two teams follow:
 Rotarians: Val Nesbit, pitcher; Greg ory Johnston, pitcher; Thornton Estes. pitcher; H. M. Edmonds catcher; J. C.. Horner, catcher; Charles Hodges, first base; Sax Crawford, first base; Ed Craw- ford, first base Frank Stevens, second base; Bob Brookem, second base; l.. L.. Doughty. shortstop; Solon Jacobs, third base; Sol Caheen and ole Rosenberger, left field; Sid Lazarus. center field; Tom Anderson, right field.

 WRITES CARD ON
 WATSON ARTICLE
To the Editor of The Age-Herald

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Your paper of October carries as an advertisement an editorial from the Alabama Christian Advocate. As the author of the article, may I be permitted to say:
 First-Whoever is paying for the advertisement was not courteous enough to ask the editor if it might be so used.
 Second-Had I been so requested, I would not have consented, because such a use of the editorial makes it appear that it was written to have an influence in our present municipal campaign.
 Third-The article was not so in- tended, for 1t was written not later than the 18th of August, and was pub lished in the Advocate of August 23, before the campaign was launched, or at least before the lines were drawn as they now are.
 Fourth-The editor of the Alabama Christian Advocate has positive con- yictions in reference to our munich pal situation, and he expects to vote accordingly on the day of election. But the Alabama Christian Advocate is the organ of the Methodist church, and the editor does not want 1t drawn into the current of partisan politics Very sincerely,
