MT. Reyes Takes Two
 Games From Ozark

Quite large crowd of Frank lin County people went to Alma to see a ball game Tuesday. in fact they furnished most of the crowd. The Alma fans evidently knew that the game would be stolen and consequently stayed at home. Ozark fans didn't know that till the first inning.
 In the Ozark half of the lst the Alma pitcher struck out three men. The Alma umpire called only seven strikes that inning but he grew worse as the game went on.
 In the Alma half the first two men went out like clock work. The 3rd batter did the same, Yo. cum catching the ball when the runner was several feet away. However the runner was called safe, and then somebody hit one in one of the trees in the diamond and before our boys got three men out again three scores had come in.
 This game was played on what Alma calls Galloway Field. :" Down here it would bc called Galloway Woodland But we understand the parks name is to be changed to Reyes Pasture" in honor of Alma's most consist ent winner.
 We'll, the game rocked along for nine innings with Clark, who was pitching for Ozark, splitting the plate and the ! looking around to see the umpire's left hand hanging over him. Reyes could have umpired as good a game with his right arm off when we were in the field. He could not have coached as we'll though for he usually waved an Alma rum ner on with his right arm when said runner was in doubt about taking another base It's new wrinkle in base ball when a SUD- posedly unprejudiced umpire roots and coaches for the home team and there must he some thing wrong when manager and ball team, who evidently know what umpiring should be, put that kind of q man out there to call gam.
 The Ozark team scored ? in the fifth inning and one in the 9th but Alma got around some how in the last half of the 9th and won 1 to 5. The game has been protested.
 The fielding of Valentine and Moore aLd the hitting of Ford featuring the game.
 The Alma paper says that Alma has an excellent chance of going into filst place They have an excellent chance. All they I've got to do Is play enough games at home.
 Not only the Ozark fans and and our A. D. A. friends but M Mulberry and Clarksville people who saw the games were utterly disgusted with the deal Ozark got
 The second game was some thing like the first the umpi, ing not quite so bad. but still awful and Alma won to O.
 Ozark will play no more games with the umpires who officiated in the first game of this series.
 The Ozark team has no kick to make about the Alma players, they play ed clean ball and treat ed our boys all right but they couldn't lose at home. The Umpire wouldn't let 'em. BOX SCORE

SOLDIERS ID BE
 ALLOWED TOVOTE

Montgomery. Merch 7.--(SpeciaLl-SoI- dier and sailor democrats who have claimed exemption under the constitu- tionaI amendment relieving them of the payment of poll taxes will be permitted to cast their ballots in democratic pr1- maries until the supreme court has held the amendment to be invalid.
 This policy was adopted by the state democrat executive committee at Bir- mingham Monday on motion of Borden Burr .of Birmingham. Although the amendment was submitted on date se- iected by the Governor. and the highway bond amendment was held to be invalid because the Governor instead of the leg islature set the election. the executive committee took the position that all acts and amendments are binding until the su- preme court has rendered adverse de- cision. Soldiers and sailors will be asked to enter the special democratic primary for the nomination of a successor or Congressman Fred L. Blackmon, even though they have not paid their poll taxes The only restrictions will be those placed on all persons who participate in the primary.

5. M. A. Quint Claims
 State Championship
 tn Secondary Glass

Greensboro, March 7.-(Specia1)- The s. M. A. quint. which went through it's entire basketball season without reverse, feels justified in claiming the championship of it's class in Alabama. The Cadets had no easy schedule, play ing the best secondary college teams in the state, although they did not have very extensive schedule. The Greensboro boys base their claim on the following achievements; They de- feated Marion institute twice; Bir- mingham- Southern, who in turn de- feated Howard college once; Missis- sippi college, who beat Spring Hill, once As these are the foremost in the state, Coach Gilliam's boys think they have an extra strong claim to the state tile.
 Much credit for their successful sea- son must be given to Coach "Tink" Gillian for his splendid tutoring dur ing his first season here.s, He taught his men the five-man defense, which has almost revolutionized basketball, mixed in with many of the finer points of the game which he knows so we'll Last, but foremost, he instilled his own neverdying fighting spirit into his warriors. This spirit alone has won many games when Gillian was con cerned, in the result.
 The whole team played excellently throughout the season with "Rowdy Crews carrying off most of the honors Lackey, at guard, is also another man who is worthy of all-state honors. Crews made 57 field goals and s foul | baskets in eight games for an average of 1o points per contest. Lewis and Lackey were unpenetratable at guards, while Ham" Stevens. playing his first year in basketball, did fine

GOOD ROADS BOND ISSUE
 UP TO SUPREME COURT

Montgomery, March 7.-(SpeciaI.) )-Aia- bama's hopes fir highway construction work as result of the adverse decision of the supreme court on the twenty-five million dollar bond issue will be consid- ehed by the highway commission Tues day. The commission met Monday but devoted the day to detail matters. One of the first moves will be to curtail greatly the force of the commission, as the loss of the twenty-five million doi- lars will prevent much of the work which had been planned.
 Members of the commission personally see no relief except through an extra session of the legislature and another submission of the amendment. It was understood during the day that the com mission would seek to obtain assurances from members of the legislature that they will refuse to take up matters not included in the Governors call for an extra session.

Accordingly, the PittsburE team is ordered to release the pair and the Little Rock club must re- turn to Pittsburg the money paid for them.

Crimson Baseball Candidates, About
 SO In All, Report
By BEN GREEN

When Coach "Gl' Meyers. tutor of the Central Crimson teams, arrived at Smith field yesterday afternoon. he at once took the position of the "o,d woman that lived in shoe, and had so many children she didn't know what to do." By actual computation. more than half hundred baseball candidates were found to be cavorting about the greensward and "dirtswsrd!" To a less experienced eye it seemed an impossible feat to get system and regularity out of the mob of candidates. but the able athletic director soon got things in or- der
 The pitching staff. as predicted, ap- pears to be the only weakness of the poets out for the hurling assignments, and some good men will probably be uncovered. Amos Currie. who was oue last year and made very good show ing, was out and showed great prom ise. Babe" Levy of last year also looked good. With about dozen men out for this position, Coach Meyers should be able to get up a creditable corps.
 THE INFIELD The infield shapes up very we'll all positions. showing men with promise. As was forecasted, A. c. Young is out for short, He is built on the lines of Buster" Caton, and is very fast on his feet. "Chet" Goldstein, the other regu- lar from last year, was up to his old tricks at first. John Cook and Alvin Biggio showed the most promise at sec ond. Rush Simpson surprised the dope sters by handling himself in fine style at the hot corner. Bill" Milliken also showed up well.
 A wealth of first-rate catchers ap- peared on the scene, there being no less than a quartet showing up especially well. Of course. Frank Chambers put up good exhibition, as expected Davis, who played on the Avondale team last year, is showing form at this berth Holder and Jaffe also showed the goods. There will be no trouble for Myers to find a man for his home position
 1 or course, 1t was not possible to get very good insight as to the hitting ability of the candidates, as there was practically no attention paid to this 1 department yesterday. The outfield was not put to much work and not much of line could be obtained on them. "Shep' Williamson is showing up well, as expected. "Yank" Rox showed a good posture a the bat, while Babe Levy is there with the fielding There are many men out for the out posts, and it will be rather easy to get up good trio of gardeners. The out look for winning team is very bright and a good season is expected by the I local fans.
