nation, SAMSON gained strength and
was nominated.

/
The most spirited play for votes
and convention tactics were employed
in the race between Faw, Crownover
and Gholson, with the situation =.
even break, virtually, between the
three contestants, Judge S. F. Wilson
having been nominated by acclama
ton previously. The chairman of the
convention announced after the vote
in this race that it was impossible
for him to determine in the confusion
which candidate had won so he called
| for an announcement of the vote by
counties for verification.
During this recall there was tonsid-
cradle changing of votes and tie tide
drifted toward Faw. Crownover votes
began to change to Faw and when
Franklin county, Crownoyer's home
county, was announced with its SO
votes for Faw there was a landslide
for the Williamson countian.
Maury county's delegates voted
solidly for SAMSON throughout his
fight, in accordance with the instruc-
lions of the county mass meetin., but
in the race betEeen Faw and Crown
over there was a division, one-third
OF the delegates voting for Crown
over and two-thirds for Faw until the
Franklin county vote changed and the
whole delegation went to Faw. Shelby
county's support of Faw gave him the
strength that made his victory pos
sible.
Col. Crownover and Judge COLLISION
took their defeats gracefully and
pledged their support to the nominees.
The state Democratic judicial con-
vention was called to order at the
capitol by Chairman l.. D. Hill of the
state executive committee at 1870
o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Score,
tary w. NJ. Carter read the call for
the convention. Judge Hill announced
Judge W. T. Murray of Chattanooga
selected by the state committee as
temporary chairman.
Applause greeted the announce
ment that no contest was instituted in
Davidson county.
The recommendation of the state
executive committee were concurred
in by the convention.
Judge Murray was then escorted to
the presiding chair. He made a brief
address, thanking the convention for
he honor.
A motion was made that a roll of |

New Circular on Canning

Auburn, July Special.)-"Canning Fruits and Vegetables is the title of a new extension circular prepared by J c. c. Price, associate horticulturist, and issued by the Alabama extension service, Auburn, Ala. Copies may be obtained free of charge by applying to the exten- sion. service,
 The new circular gives complete direc- tions for every step in the progress of canning for all our common fruits and vegetables. The proper time and method of harvesting, blanching, packing, ex- hausting, sealing and processing are fully described. The recommendations are based upon the results of repeated ex- periments and those who follow the direc- tions as given in the circular may be sure of saving their products.
 Probably in no previous year has Ala bama produced more food crops than she Is producing this year. The crop of veg etables is especially large. Since we art liable to face a shortage of food in the near future, it is highly important that we use the very best methods of saw ing our surplus fruits and vegetables

MOLLY MAY GET IN CAME; LOvELESS IS
 GIVEN HIS RELEASE
BarOns Start Home Stay of Seventeen Games, Begin ming Wednesday-Play
 the Vols Today

At his own request, Bob Loveless was granted his outright release by Manager Molesworth yesterday. The local pro- duct, who has been the property of the Birmingham club for the entire season, will return to the amateur lots probably to one of the fast outfits in the T. c. I. league.
 The release of Loveless cuts the Baron roster down to 13 men. Pat Duncan, Billy Southworth and Danny Clark are on the ineligible list.
 Moley stated yesterday afternoon that provided the jinx continues to camp on the Barons' trail and any other men are forced out of the nne-up on account of injuries, he would re-enter the game The Baron boss was in earnest, too.
 This action will hardly be necessary, however. Billy Southworth is fast round- ing into condition and he will be seen in his old stand in right field within a few more Gays. Pat Duncan is not in shape and will hardly play again this season. Danny Clark is out of the game indefinitely, probably for the remainder of the season.
 With Southy back in the lineup. the Barons will be as strong as ever. Bill Webb is playing the keystone we'll Southys presence in the lineup will also release Red Smith for duty behind the bat.
 The Barons left last night for Nash vile where they start three-game series with the Vols this afternoon. Mcley will probably open with Carmen Hill today and follow with Karl Black on Monday and Ralph Comstock on Tuesday.
 The crew returns to Redwood Wednes- day for four-game clash with the Lookouts. They remain on home soil until August B. The Memphis Chicks then come for four games, starting July 23 The Little Rock Trevelers are next with five games, starting July 27 The Nashville Vols follow with four games starting August r. The Barons jump to Chattanooga for four games and then return for four with the Atlanta Crack CTS.

who keeps in condition all the time and never under any circumstances abuses his body. Consequently he has reached perfection of strength that has brought him the championship of the world as a heavyweight
 Lewis is said almost to worship his body and anything he says about train- ing is authoritative. Consequently the following excerpts from a lecture which he gives on physical culture is of wide interest to wrestling fans and athletes of all kinds:
 "The results have accomplished i'll training have not been reached with out painstaking and continued work" says Lewis. This has also been mixed with an intelligent knowledge of my own body and it's workings. What 1 have been able to do is not outside the reach of any man who is willing to devote the same amount of work I have given to my training. Tn my training for bouts I have always ob- served the following general rules:
 The great point to remember in training is to obtain the maximum amount of strength from the minimum of weight. Every ounce of surplus weight is a disadvantage in wrestling. The wrestler should pay as much at

Even Larger Crowd Than Attended Zbyszko Bout Is Indicated-Lewis and Freberg Both Here and Are in Fine Shape

The initial rush for seats for the finish wrestling match between Ed (Strangler) Lewis and John FreherG, which will be staged at the Jefferson theatre Monday night beginning ct S:30 o'clock, has exceeded even tho demand for the match between Zbysz- ko and Freberg, which was thought to have set a record for Birmingham adj vance ticket sales.
 Brown Parks opened the sale yes terday morning at 9:30 o'clock and be fore o'clock had disposed of practI- cally all ringside seats. Had he not made provision to care for an extra large crowd all of the seats would have been gone. As it is. a few are to get these seats should bestir them selves at once. The demand yester- day surprised even Brown Parks, who has predicted that the crowd greeting Lewis will be the largest ever attend ing a wrestling match in Birmingham
 The enormous seat sale is direct tribute to the wonderful popularity of Strangler Lewis in Birmingham. Lewis has not been seen in action in this city for nearly two years and the fans are hungry to see him again while his friends have been jubilating ever since they heard he was coming here

 SHOULD TRAIN HARD
 "A wrestler's training operat tions should vary in severity according to the time before the prospective bout and the nature of the contest With more than a month in which to pre- pare, a man should begin with a rou- tine of moderate demands. gradually increasing the amount and rigorous ness of the work as the time set for the match draws near. With only l couple of weeks for training you must, of course, begin your prepara- tion with more rigorous maneuvers. The average professional wrestler sell dom ceases light training at any time, and I never do."
