The meeting last year was held
Monday, Thanksgiving { Wees the
schools of the State being closed for
the entire week: and this caused
some adverse criticism due to the
fact that the compulsory attendance
law forces the older children into the
schools November /, and that it is
unwise to have this break III the
school year IA November, followed 5y
a break in December due to the

MOLLY AFTER NEW ORLEANS SHORTST0P

New Orleans, La, May 3.-(SpeclaL) Carlton Molesworth has made up ms mind that he is going to get short stop in New Orleans. He will use Max Montegut, local shortstop. in Saulr- days game with New Orleans # Mon tegut can be induced to sign Baron contract between now and game time
 Moley says that he wants to land Montegut. It will be remembered that Montegut got try-out with Chatta- nooga two years ago, but was crowded off that club when Elberfeld had too much higher class material to draw on. Since then Montegut has been burning up the local leagues around here. IT Molesworth succeeds in getting him.
 he will have valuable man to re- place Jansen. the outfielder, who is booting them around shortstop posi- ton. Molesworth alsA has his eye on Buddy" Rezza. also local product now with the New Orleans team. It is not thought that Dobbs will carry Rezza after cutting down time coraes and he would make Molesworth val uable man. He can play short and hts very hard. He is daring base-runner, in addition Molesworth told frlends on the quiet he would tryto get Rezza by claiming himif waivers were asked.

AUBURN WINS CLOSE CAME FROM GEORGIA

Auburn Ala, May 3.-(Special)- George Johnson pitched air-tight ball this afternoon for Auburn, and the Un- iversity of Georgia was defeated III the opening game of the season by the score of to 2. The game was
 Use and exciting until the final out in the ninth and several spectacular catches were made by players on poth teams Johnson held the Georgia bat- ters well in check until near the close and eased up with the results that the visitors scored two runs. Hitting by Bonner Barnes and Ducote was fea- ture, Bonner securing two hits, one being a long drive to deep center in the first inning.
 In the opening inning Reynolds sim eled and went to second on sacrifice, Scott scored on 8, long { drive, to deep center by Bonner. the latter stopping at third. Bonner was caught at the plate on Ducotes rap to the infield. Ducote stole second and scored on d single by Barnes. Auburn scored two runs in the second on hits by Bon ner and Ducote. After the second lh- ming Moore for the visitors settlto down and pitched good ball. Although Auburn had runners on bases Tn the sixth and seventh. the necessary hi1 was lacking.

 THRIFT STAMPS
Men Who Work R. F. D. Routes to Carry Campaign Into Every
 Rural Community

S. A. Renolds. secretary and treasurer of the Alabama Rural Letter Carriers association, called at State War Savings headquarters yesterday morning and held a lengthy conference with Crawford Johnson. state director, as to methods for stimulating the 105O rural letten carriers in this state to greater activity in the sale of War Savings Stamps.
 Many of the rural carriers have all ready made fine records in War Savings Stamp work, and the enlisting of the en- tire body of them in the campaign is re- garded at state headquarters as very i'm portant, as these carriers are in close con tact with the farmers. Mr Reynolds, who is a War Savings Stamp enthusiast, is confident of securing cooperation from the men who work the rural free delivery routes.
 Mr. Johnson went to Empirel ast night and addressed a gathering of citizens.
 It was intimated at state headquarters yesterday that there would be some in- teresting developments in the campaign next week. but the nature of them was not disclosed.

Germans Are Displaying Activity in Repairing
 Damage at Zeebrugge

London, May 3.-Latest reports show that the Germans are displaying great activity in endeavoring to repair the damage caused at Zeebrugge, the Ger. man submarine base on the Belgian coast, by the recent British naval raid The channel still remains blocked and it is thought likely it iwll remain so for a considerable time.
 Apart from the fact that the en- trance is occupied by two sunken con- crete vessels. the position of the sunk en cruiser Thetis. which is at the edge of the shoal, is likely to increase the difficulties of dredging and prevent the harbor from being closed up
 Admiral Jellico. former first sea loard, has sent warm congratulations to Ad- miral Reyes. in command of the naval froces at the time of the raid, on his achievement. Plans for the enterprise were submitted and approved by Ad- mirai Jellicoe when he was first sea lord.

J. IF A. NINE WINS FROM PURPLE TEAM Styles and Sewell Star in the First Crimson Victory
 Over Old Rivals

Tuscaloosa, May 3.-tSpecial)- )-The Uni versity of Alabama decisively defeated it's inveterate rival, Sewanee, yesterday afternoon in rather slow and uninter- esting game by the score of to l.
 Sewanee scored in the first, but after that was never able to get near the plate. The university team played in fine style, every man fielding his position credit ably.
 Capt Pep" Wortham was the best that Sewanee had to offer. He played a good game for his team, getting a hit and fielding his position well. For Alabama, age. Both of these seem to be about the best in the south for their posi- tions. Sewell got two hits, stole three bases and handled his chances perfectly. Lena Styles, behind the bat, kept the Sewanee runners close to their bases and got a couple of hits in addition. Ala bama was able to run the bases at Will, a total of 10 steals being recorded.
 The Purple team appeared more mex perienced and younger than any that has represented them for long time. Alabama played steadily throughout and looked more like an $. I. A. A. cham pion than ever.
 Providing Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical is defeated next Monday and Tuesday, Alabama will have clear and undisputable claim to the championship Only one game has been lost this year and that was to Louisiana State uni yersity, from whom three games were won later. Sewanee will play here again today. Crudgington is scheduled to do the mound duty for the visitors and Big Boone for Alabama.

ADJUSTMENTS
At the Lyric


 Lewis and Leopold are proving them selves most popular with patrons of the Lyric and these singers of original songs that are excellent have received more applause, probably, than any similar act that ever appeared here. Cooper and Ricardo, with their act, "Ah, Gimme the Ring also are proving most acceptable, and Miss Ricardo keeps the audience in a gale of laughter the whole time she is on the stage.
 The monkey hippodrome, directed by Robert Everest, although he never ap- pears on the stage, is one of the best animal acts that ever appeared on the Lyric stage. A monkey stage director sees to it that the monkey actors keep busy and he discovers all sorts of stunts for them to perform.
 Arthur Pickens and company in "Their Wedding Day. have an attractive act, Genaro and Gold are good, and the Lyric screen telegrams prove a most attrac- tive feature Of every bill ae.F1 aTp At Loew's Bijou
