"Then go in," said Hedwig. in a
white rage. "and get the permission"
The gentleman in waiting went in,
very deliberately, because his dignity
was outraged. The moment he had
gone, however. Hedwig flung the door
open. and followed standing, a figure
of tragic defiance, inside the heavy
curtains Of the kings bedroom.

DECATUR

Decatur, January 2s.-(Special) Under the fuel laws the street cars of Decatur and Albany stopped running last night at S:30 o'clock and resumed operation again today.
 Last night the street lights were turned out, practically all of the bus mess houses closed and no street cars running. It was indeed the "bluest" Monday ever seen in the Twin Cities and reminded one most forcibly that we are indeed at war.
 Marshall, Jordan & Keith of Bii- mingham have opened a wholesale produce house in Decatur on the cor her of Bank and Pond streets. This finn also has houses in Tuscaloosa and Birmingham.
 Yesterday officers captured an s5- gallon wildcat still about six miles from Wilhites, a station on the Louis Decatur.
 They destroyed about 800 gallons of beer and took the still to Falkville. The stlll was in operation but no one cou.d be found near when the of- ficers arrived, hence no arrests were made.

Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
Rv JAMES J. CoRBETT

SoX have at this time and one that cer- tainly looks able to put up whirlwnd battle. But no one can forecast Just what will happen before April because half dozen of the Red Sox of the present time are subject to draft and may be taken away before they begin operations in behalf of Harry Frazee.
 
 The Indians had been wrecked by drafts and enistments and the team which looked like certain battler for the 1918 pennant is no more. The chances are that the Cleveland lineup in 1918 will be made up largely of youngsters who are only fair ana vf veterans who have failed The Senators, despite the presence of Waiter Johnson, do not fig ure as powerful factors. The Browns may land in first division. They surely seem to have gained strength through the Yankee trade.
 The Tanks right now have a fast in- field, a good catching department, some fair pitchers. but no outfield worthy of generating raptures of delight among the fans But Miller Higgins is a clever trader and a wonder in developing raw material Perhaps before the race begins he will have made some shifts that will lift the Yanks into pennant possibilities
 The Tigers, as usual are a puzzle The team, as constituted in 1917, was rather veteran in it's makeup. New blood is needed. And the war robbed Hughie Jennings of some of his most promising rockies So there's no "dop- ing" what they can do.
 The Athletics? Hopeless
 The Dodgers may furnish trouble for the pennant battlers in 1918, but it doesn't seem likely that they have a team strong enough to batter its way to the absolute top by October. Just the same any club that is ploted by genius like Wilbert Robinson and carries Ma maux, Marquard, Wheat and those other Brooklyn stars always must be reck- oned as dangerous.
 The Alexander-less Phillies do not look stronger than fifth place. Aided by Al- exander's 90 victories in 1917, the best they could do was S7 wins against 65 losses Without the services of the won derful twirler and K,iiefer. the great catcher it doesn't seem that Pat Nor ans crowd can climb i.sto first division, especially when faced by such opponents as the Giants and the fortified Cubs.
 The Cardinals? Seemingly certain tai1- enders The Braves? Extremely hum- ble in appearance and not likely to fig ure very largely in pennant affairs un- less George Stallings performs another miracle The Pirates? Worse in appear anee than 1917, when they finished last
 The Reds may supply the big surprise. Matty lost some good youngsters. but he still has strong team and one which is causing Cincinnati fans to dream pen nant dreams.

CANDY KID LEADS IN FREE-FOR-ALL
 IN FIELD TRIALS
DeSoto Frank and Mary Montrose Must Go Against Each Other This Day
 in the Finals

Calhoun, Ala, January 29-With De- Soto Frank and Mary Montrose run- ming their qualifying heats of three hours Tuesday in the free-for-ali champion stake at the National Field Trial association grounds here, the winner of the s150O fin liberty bonds lies between the winner of this heat and Candy Kid, providing the work and stamina of DeSoto Frank and Mary Montrose is equal to the work of Candy Kid who ran his three hour qualifying heat Tuesday afternoon.
 The first series of elimination heats of one hour duration were finished Tuesday before noon and in the aft ernoon Candy Kid and Miss Pansy ran a qualifying heat. Candy Kids work was of the highest order and judged from the quality and quantity of the work done by. Candy Kid he is one of the factors to be considered in the race. DeSoto Frank ran a very con- sistent race with three meritorious bevy finds and his speed and range was equal to the best shown in the state. Mary Montrose ran a very at tractive heat. having one excellent find to her credit.
 Adam, Rowena and Comanche Frank were hardly up to the standard of the stake in class and range.
 The stud dog stake will be run inn mediately after the free-for-all with a prize of $2500 in liberty bonds and very handsome silver cup. The drawing of the stud dog stake is as follows:
 Peggy lingo and Freeport Prince. Tourist and DeSoto Maid. Comanche Maid and Corona, Madden Eugene Spot and Elbon Flyer, Comanche Girl and Mconshiner. Comanche Flyer and Money NJ, High Low Jack and Ace of clubs and Conscript, bye.

 The folks who are attempting to dope" the outcome of the 1918 battles in the major leagues experience consid- erable difficulty at this time. Drafts, enlistments, sales and trades of players have so changed the complexion of the various clubs that there is no real basis for forecasting the future
 Just the same, the White Sox and the Red Sox are figured to be certain bat tiers for pennant honors in the Ban Johnson circuit. And the Giants remain as the favorites for John Teners bunt- ing with the Cubs second choice. But, in baseball you never can tell" and it is more than likely that one or an- other of the work horses will come along and nose out the odds on teams to the October wire.
 The White Sox have been particularly fortunate-more so than any other club in the country. Practically all of their star players are married men and with dependents and so are exempt from draft. Not one of Charlie Comiskey's s are that the same team that swept through to worlds champlonShlp III 1917 will be placed in the White Sox field In April.
 The Red Sox lost many stars through enlistments, but their places have been filled by purchases from Connie Mack. The addition of McInnis at first base means that the Sox will be stronger there than ever Strunk is one of the best outfelders in the business and should fill the shoes of Duffy Lewis in an acceptable manner. Schang is grand catcher, and Bush perhaps will make the Bostonians forget the loss of Ernie Shore.
