another PLAN FOR
BIC Series RENOVATION
By II. C. HAMILTON,

Omitted Press Stan Correspondent)
NEW YORK. Feb. Laughing at
the variously coiored and scented sug-
gestions for changes IN the manner Of
conducting the annual worlds series,
John b. Foster secretary Of the New
York Nat onal League Club, declared
today there isn't really anything to be
done about it.
"If the magnates feel they really
have to have a change" he said, "let
them give the winning club 80 per
cent. Of the players share and give
the losers 10 per cent OF the winning
clubs share and give It to charity,
and give Just the same mount OF the
club owners share.
"This idea Of giving every club in
each league a whack at It is altogether
wrong. DO you suppose they would
go on through without pooling the
sum to be divided a different way7
Not on your life They'd turn 1t into
cinch for some club and then the
tail-enders would cease to play their
hardest"
Foster went back 10 the days when
I the worlds series was started.

tutor-in-chief by the Athletic Associa-

when the university committee on

name to the list OF tentatively ap-
proved candidates for the position.
While the action OF the committee
is simply a step in the selection OF a

the appointment as the football com.
mittee and the board OF directors OF
the Athletic Association. the bodies
with which the final decision rests,

 Heart Failure

Bessemer, April 4-(Special) )-The ctti- zens of Bessemer are manifesting much interest in the mass meeting which will be held Friday night at the courtroom in the Realty building when Commis- sioner James Weatherly of Birmingham will address the meeting on the pro- posed water contract, which has been under discussion here for several weeks. Recently the Alabama Water company purchased the property, contract ana franchise ot the Bessemer Waterworks company and has offered the city of Bessemer Q reduction in rates, in return for which the company asked that the city extend the franchise in Bessemer for 30 years from April 1, 1917. A number Of citizens think that the reduction is not sufficient to justify the extension of the franchise A mass meeting was held re- gently and resolutions were passed ask fpg the city council to defer action on the matter. The meeting Friday night is for the purpose of giving the citizens of Bessemer an opportunity to under stand the contract. Since the proposed contract has been under discussion it has been modified considerably John w.. Weakley, one of the owners, will also make talk and will endeavor to explain the sections that are not clear to the people.
