Rotarians and kiwanians Make
 Ready for Game

r It will be for a worthy cause indeed that the Rotarians and Kiwanians clash on the field of baseball valor at Rick wood park tomorrow afternoon in their annual diamond encounter. Proceeds of the game will go to the Anti-Tubercu- losis Association, which, worthy and needy organization, certainly deserves help and support of all loyal citizens ot Birmingham.
 At the last meetingssof the two organ izations, the Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs, men were appointed to look after the organization of teams. These managers have been busy recruiting their hines and, according to all advance dope avail able, two rather formidable aggrega- tions have been moulded together.
 Some real baseball is promised those who turn out tomorrow afternoon to view activities at Redwood. There IS an abundance of playing talent to be found among the Rotarians and KiwA- nians, and each manager claims that he has been singularly successful in spot ting the real stars and gathering them together into team.
 Final arrangements, as the time at which the gaHe will start, will be made today and announcements made tomor- row morning in these columns.

 The Atlanta serapper will be given every privilege which the Athletic Club can offer him, according to Bill Streit. president of the B. A. C. Avera will finish off his training in the B. A. C. gymnasium, 1t is thought.
 Avera has been undergoing hard training for the bout with Burlington In a recent bout between the two at Redwood park Avera obtained the de- cision over Harrington only after eight rounds of extremely hard fighting Neither Avera or his manager is under estimating Barrington's ability and Larry Is coming to Birmingham well prepared for strenuous battle.
 Burlington also has been training hard. He has fought two fights since his tilt with Avera, coupled with regular training on the road and in the gymnasium has put Dummy in the best of trim for the fight Monday.
 Tommy TompEins manager of
 Harrington, states that his man is
 in much better shape for the com
 ing battle than he was for the first
 meeting with Avera.
 The Avera Harrington match has at tracted much attention from local fans from the first moment that it was an- nounced. At the first engagement be- tween the two large crowds turned out to iwitness the battle and when the de- cision was given in favor of Averl loud cries of rotten" could be heard. The fight was close enough to justify some argument as to the real winner.

To do so he must whln -A9era thoroughly, which, as has ai- ready been proven, is no babys task. ;, walloping good fight is sure to rol- low when these two get together.

Thousands Of dollars worth Of seed
are wasted in unsuccessful attempts
to revive the waning stand Of alfalfa.
Specialists recommend that fields on
the decline should be plowed up and
reseeded.
Even though the seed terminates
successfully, the plants mature at
periods different from those of the old
plants, while ordinarily the. young
plants are smothered out before they
make much growth. Even where an
alfalfa field is patchy and covered
with I,actically bare spots. it Is not
advisable to attempt to reseed except
by breaking up the entire field and
again sowing down with alfalfa.
Not Profitable to Cultivate.
It is always Objectionable, according
to the specialists, to cultivate or disk
an alfalfa field irrespective Of its age
and condition, as carefully conducted
experiments have shown that the only
section in which it was profitable to
cultivate the alfalfa crop in any way
was in the irrigated belt Of the far
West.
Usually unfavorable results attend

NAVY LIBRARY won Is


- ~
The navy library. In the state. war
and navy building. Is lovely place to
soak up atmosphere. Like the build
ing itself, 1t Is thirty-three years old.
When it was built England, France
Spain and Italy presented the marbles
of porphyry. sienna and malachite with
which the walls are paneled. Mexico
sent the pieces Of onyx which encrust
the gallery. The round stone over the
door came from the ruins Of Pompeii.
The connoissenr in marble who visits
washington will enjoy call here.
In the center Of the large room. lined
with shelves Of weighty tones on ma
val matters, there is large and i'm.
portant green-topped table. Around
this table sat the strategic board OF
the Spanish-American war. Here also
the naval advisory board for the great
war made their secret plans and ex.
periments. Edison, Maxim, Miller and
many others conferred over it. with
the windows carefully darkened and q
guard before the door.
There is a quaint side to the library,
too. A little white-haired lady can be
seen any time, fitting about the
shelves Of dark, heavy books, or cut.
ting and pasting busily in her corner
by the window. This is Miss Mason.
daughter Of a former secretary Of the
navy. She has been in the library
28 years. Il you happen in near noon
she may give you cup Of tea on one
corner of her desk.
And Of all charming places to have
an unexpected cup Of tea. with q
sweet little lady, this quiet nook
among the books is recommended.
