RANDOM NOTES

We'll, one consolation is that the Ba-
 rons made the PelIcans let out to cap-
 ture the game yesterday, and forced the
 Dobbs men to go 10 innings. There is
 nothing to 1t this afternoon but the Ba-
 rons. and as it is ladies' day it is cinch they will take the game.
 Oh, boy. Pat Duncan certainly did
 smash that old apple a terrific wallop
 yesterday. That homer was one of the
 prettiest hits ever made at Redwood,
 being distinctly of the Duncan va
 riety.
 Old Cy Slapnicka Is pitching in hard
 luck this season, for the Pelicans only
 secured three hits off the spitbalIers
 offerings until the ninth frame. and then they hunced a couple with dis
 astrious results. Old Cy will get right iE a few weeks and there Will be no
 stopping him.
 Yea, 80, there will be two games of
 baseball played down in Tuscaloosa to-
 morrow and Thursday that will draw a crowd from miles around, for when Joe
 Bean lines. his Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets against Lonnie Noojins cham
 pion Alabama nine, there will be some
 game of baseball in progress. The Ala
 bamians have not yet been made to
 bow before any of the college teams in the s. I. A. A. and the two games with Tech. will have a lot to do with deciding of the winner of the rag in the college circle. The Alabama boys will take the field the favorite, but you can never tell about a game of col lege baseball Go to it, boys, and may the best team win.
 We'll, well, well, Walter Johnson lost his first game of the season to the Red
 Sox yesterday, to 4. Though Walter twirled top notch ball the Red Rox were a bit too good for the Senators and came out of the game the victors. However, the. best of. pitchers lose sometimes, even Slapnioka got beat by ! the Pels yesterday. q sr I told you so. Atlanta did not have 1 a chance 10 win the attendance trophy, with the Birmingham townspeople in the race. Look what we did to 'em. and they had all the camps in the surround ing territory present at the game. What it takes to put it on Atlanta I've got it'
 Peters is certainly hitting that old | baseball thus far, for his batting aver age is over a500. Peters is out for a good season and he is going to make Moley good man before the curtain 1 is rung down. Alta, boy; keep up the good work.
 l It looks as though Cholley Frank has 1 pretty decent team. The Crackers | have lost only one game this season and in every game they have played I the boys have hit the bail all over l the lot. We'll, the Crackers ought to
 have good team once in century. 1 Speaking of golfers, Hewitt Smith might be added in the list of southern cracks. This lad has played some nifty l pasture pool' around the different courses of Birmingham. and now it is 1 thought they will match the young de- mon with the famous Robbie Jones of Atlanta. Oh. boy, that would be some match, and take it from me we would like to see the two boys hook up in a l round.

 PLAY SEEN AT NEW MAJESTIC

Common Clay" is the clever drama that opened at the Majestic last night The part of Ellen Neal, the girl or the slums, who longed for bright anu happy things, is played by Miss Mae Park. who capably handles the leading role.
 The whole play is hinged on two lines of Kipling: "For the colonel's lady and Judy OGraoy Are sisters under the skin" Summing up the whole play, 1t Is prop ably the best which the popular Maj docks-Park Stock company has presented at the Majestic this season. Ramon Greenleaf as the lawyer TOT El- len Neal, is quite clever. He speaks ms lines we'll. The type of lawyer which he portrays is well known and the char acter as portrayed by MT. Greenleaf IS true to lire.
 Richard Fullerton as played by Earl | craddocx is the type of man who has m time sown his wild oats and who Is reap inc, the benefits of those days in the form of rents from houses used for shady pur- poses c., r,, con lives up to the high standard or character impersonation that he has set in his other appearances in birnins- ham. o,,,,a,,.

that 1t was impossible for him to come out of 1t, and he was forced to give the referee the signal that he had had enough.
 SLAv WAS GAME
 Savage lImped back into the arena at the start of the second period, and 1t could be seen that he could not last long. but the Slav was certainly game. He worked for five minutes trying to get a hold on Freberg. but after the second period had progressed seven minutes Savage was again forced to give in to Freberg on exactly the same hold the swede had on him in the first fall.
 The fans were well pleased with the work the two men put up and several times during the evening were brought to their feet by the brute strength shown by the two grapplers. Savage and F'reberg were fairly well matched, Freberg having a little edge on the Elav. However, the "Humpbaek Boy certainly did go after him, and for ez minutes it looked like the fans would have to sit for an hour or so before one had been pinned to the mat
 It was announced from the ring De- fore the start of the match last night that the winner would grapple with sae big Pole wrestler, waladek zbyszko, next Wednesday night This match should prove a big drawing card and a record crowd will no doubt be pres ent to watch the big Pole thrust him self upon FTeberg.
 The Athletic club always has 1t ar ranged to give the fans their moneys worth. and three corking good prelim- inar;es were staged. The match be- tween Abe Jaffe and sam Kaplin was a ripping good affair and the fans enjoyed it immensely. The two kids were pa perweights, weighing around % pounds, and they went for each other like wildcats. The match was hair raiser, and after some speedy work Sam Kaplin won the match on ham mer lock
 WHIRLWIND BOXING MATCH
 The second affair was not wrestling match, but boxing match of one round The Seig1e brothers were the contestants in this whirlwind encount- CT, and after some grueling blows dealt one anot other, the two kids came ont of the ring looking like "dingies." It was great and aded to the amuss- men. of the evening.
 The semi-windup was an exhibition wrestling match between Tom Gala gher, former state champion, and Ed Spencer director of athletics at tEe club The match went IS minutes. and some interesting tactics were displayed by the two men.
 Tom Gallagher. who at one time was the best wrestler in the state, and never met defeat, is going to make a .3come-back'' and take on all amateur grapplers in the state. Tom is stilH a good man, as could be seen in the match last night at the Athletic club He is going to train with Spencer, and in a few weeks expects to enter the roped arena again.
 The entire programme at the club last night was great and every fan that turned out to witness the affair was more than pleased with the out some of the match. Next Wednesday night, however, when Waladek zbyszko and ohm Freberg get to- gether the fans of Birmingham will have the pleasure of seeing real bout Tickets go on sale for this bout some time this week, and will be announced later.

The Roosevelt Mem orial.

What shall be the nations monu-
ment TO the memory OF THEODORE
ROOSEVELT, and under what auspices
It shall be planned and erected. are
questions to-day Of personal interest
to millions Of Americans
The first Of these questions can be
answered only after the most careful
consideration OF every side OF the
matter, aesthetic, sentimental, prac-
teal. and even political-not in the
partisan sense, but with regard to the
participation of the Federal Govern
ment through action by Congress. A
hundred projects are likely to develop.
most of them good, many indifferent
and some of them, perhaps, objection
able. That which is finally adopted
must be the best Of them all.
The second question. as TO the pro-
motion of this Indispensable work of
loving and admiring commemoration.
IL easier to answer in a general way
even now.
II has already been suggested to
THE Sun by several friends and cor
respondents that this newspaper shall
undertake the initiative. No doubt
similar suggestions have been made to
other New York journals. 1t seems
proper to say that in our opinion there
are obvious rea sons why no single
newspaper should be primarily fdenti-
fed with the financing and building
of the Roosevelt Memorial. no matter
how keen its interest in the plan, or
how well insured its sympathetic CO.
operation.
The movement should be nation
wide. and whether conducted under
official or unofficial direction 1t should
be so organized as TO represent from
start to finish, in the broadest possible
way, the entire sisterhood OF States
and the united purpose of the entire
American people.

differ so radically in structure and
