Jones has announced that he will be a candidate for reelection, and T. J. Batson. former sheriff of Jefferson county, has also announced his candidacy for the office. It is rumored that B. H., Tillman. al derman from the fifth ward will also enter the race. but he has not confirmed this report.

CANDIDATES WILL
 NOT ENTER DEBATE Foster Requests That Joint Discussion Take Place Be-
 tween Candidates

Montgomery, March 8.-(Special)- Judge Henry B. Posters request of Lloyd M. Hooper for series of joint discussions between Senator Underwood and L. B. Musgrove. his opponent, could not be delivered Sunday because the headquarters were closed, but the gossip in hotel 1obbies among Under wood supporters was that Senator Un- derwood would decline to Nbe drawn into such a discussion for the reason that his time in Alabama will be limited, a portion of which must be spent at his headquarters and for the further reason that Senator Underwood has great lead on his opponents, his sup porters not regarding the request with sincerity It is believed among them that Judge Foster sought this method as the final one to engender interest in the Musgrove campaign.
 Judge Foster here tonight said his re- quest was made in all sincerity. "l believe the people should have the right to hear joint discussion of the ls- sues.'' he said "It Is not proposed by the Musgrove organization to let per- sonalities or bitterness enter into sucn discussions. The one proposal is that Senator Underwood meet MT. Mus grove for a discussion of the various subjects before the people and legisia- tive bodies"
 Mr. Hooper is expected here Monday or Tuesday when reply will be prepared.

Dcrrill Pratt was a great second base man while with the St Louis Browns. He was sold to the Yankees-and ever since Pratt has been only ordinary in his work. He has not hit near to the old mark nor has he fielded with old time brilliance.
 Frank Baker, the demon swatsmith of the Athletics during all the years he vAs with that club banged the ball for marks well beyond 300. He smashed the ball to all portions of the lot,-and out of it. Finally he was sold to the Yam kees-and he hasn't done a sensational thing since.
 Jack Barry was sold to the Red Sox and now Barry is out of baseball. Stuffy McTnnis used to get his picture in the papers and his name in big head lines almost weekly while with the Ath- Ietics He was sold to the Red Sox for a huge price and now is almost forgot ten when brilliant performers are mem toned Larry Doyle starred for many years with the Giants. He was traded to the Cubs in 1916 then went to Bos- ton and finally came back to the Giants. But Doyle never performed in old-time fa shion from the day that he was traded.
 Joe Bush was miracle worker while with the Athletics Nbut since Bush was included in s60,0o0 trade he has not shown much that would warrant list
 ing his name among the truly greats of the pitching world. Carl Mays cost the Yankees a small sized fortune but Mays showed nothing extremely amaz- ing through the balance of the 1sis season. Ernie Shore was regarded as one of the greatest twirlers in the game. while with the Red Sox. He was sold to the Yankees. What has he done since?
 The old iinx has ensnared a lot of them. What will it do with Ruth?

Swim Chief
 Plans Visit
 To Australia

Chicago March 27.-( Special. )-Nor- man Ross. champion swimmer of the Chicago Athletic Club, is in love with Australia and the inhabitants of the antipodes are just as much in love with Ross.
 Rose, who is just about to complete tour of Australia, succeeded in show ing the Australians what real Amert- can champion can do, for he shattered no less than a half dozen records in the far-off island, winning almost every competition he started in. Ross was defeated a couple of times but his defeat came about in events which are fixtures in Australia but novelties to American water men.
 At a big tournament at Newcastle, Ross broke the 300-yard record for Australia when he covered the dis tance in min. S1 2-5 sec. which is 1 2-5 seconds slower than the world g mark Ross simply distanced his field in this event. And the race was staged in a pool conceded to be inadequate for such an event. The worlds record ttank) for this event is now held-by Perry McGillvray, and was made in Chicago February 4 1915, when he made it in min. 30 sec
 Ross used the trudgeon crawl in the Newcastle event, and the natives went wild over the performance.
 At Sidney in big meet at the Do main baths-one of the greatest swim ming centers in the world-Ross wor every event on the card and did i with such apparent ease that it was with difficulty he got away from the fans. who insisted upon honoring hin lwith presents.
 The Australians have in Keith Kirk. land and Reginald Brown two swim, mers they believed unbeatable. but thu easy fashion In which Ross disposed o them caused the natives to brand tn, American as the greatest swimmer who ever visited the island

 According to the officials of the Cali 1ornia body children are in need of just such exercise and recreation as golf nro vides. In addition, they say. golf needs some young players of quality and they intend to drop the barriers that have al- ways held against the younger set. They are preparing to schedule a number of fixtures for children, to he played in various parts of the state with view to bringing the winners together in one grand tournament
 The United States Golf Association will not permit youngsters under sixteen years of age to participate in any fix ture. The one excuse nearly always as signed for this course, is, that older play CTS do not like the idea of being paired off with, or meeting in competition, some mere lad or lasse-and probably being defeated.
 In defense of it's stand, the California body poiDts to the popularity of baseball and the fact that mere babies play the national game They declare baseball veterans take no objection to playing be- side the youngsters, hut on the contrary give the youngsters the benefit of their Experience.
 In statement outlining their plans to Net the children play, it is pointed out by the westerners that it takes about ~ ing that the children started when they were about ten or twelve years old. they should be able to provide interesting con- petition when they reach their majority.

EXPECTED PASSENGER

Newt Vines deputy treasurer at Bes- semer, is known among his neighbors at Piney Woods and Hueytown as be- ing very accommodating in bringing passengers to the city in the mornings and taking them out in the afternoons on his daily trips to his office and back home.
 Saturday morning MT. Vines was com ing in alone, when he passed resi- dence at Hueytown and a most unex- pected passenger. a Rhode Island Red rooster, precipitated himself through the windshield of the running car and took his seat by the side of the driver, where after Hopping his wings and scat tering broken glass for few minutes quieted down for his ride to town.
 There is some difference of opinion be- tween Mir. Vines and the owner of the rooster, Mr Vines believing that the broken windshield was the fault of the ambitious fowl. while the owner thinks that a very fine rooster was in danger of being kidnapped.
