"DO IT WITH ALL THY MIGHT"

Build that house now; construct that highway
at once build that school, that church, repair that
broken pavement; build that garage, and even that
chickencoop, now-not tomorrow.
Go ahead with your plans; speed the nation on
the road to full employment, and thus hasten the
day of individual and national prosperity and
safety.
Preach this from the pulpit We ministers of the
Gospel act it from the pews We laymen who profess
love for humanity; put it into effect, We county,
municipal and State officials, and remember, We
business men of America, We men of "big business"
and We of little business" that there is some
thing in this infinitely higher and more important
than the small amount of money involved which you
think you could save by waiting.
Some men put off the day of salvation, expect
ing to attend to it their death bed but not many
ever succeed in doing it at that hour. "Do it now
and do it with all your might, should be the motto
of every man in America who expects to do any con-
struction work in the near future. "Do it now"
and thus do your part toward individual and
tional business salvation-and even more
Procrastnation is more than the thief of time;
it is the murder of opportunity.

New Hospital
To Open Monday

In this issue of The Advocate we
are authorized to announce the op-
ening to the public of the Mary
Chiles Hospital on Saturday, April
10th when our citizenship is expect
ed to respond to an invitation to in
spect what has been done in provid-
ing for the sick and injured. The
location is ideal in that it is at one
of the highest points above the city.
The building is also ideal in that it
is substantial and provided with all
modern improvements and conven-
iencesI 1t is not for us to specialize
at this time for we cannot give a pen
picture of the new hospital even to
that minuteness that it would COM
pare favorably with the real. 1t is
sufficient for us to say it is strictly
modern in each department; this
said it will be up to those interested
land all should be interested), to an
swer the invitation and see for
themselves the up-to-date hospital
where the sick not alone of Mt. Ster-
ling and Montgomery county can be
properly administered to by skilled
physicians and nurses, but from this
entire section. The invitation is
cordial and far reaching. 1t is
time for seeing and approaching
generous gifts Of money and labor
thus expended.
On Monday, the 18th, the doors
of the Mary Chiles Hospital will be
open to the sick and the doctors will
give attention as chosen by the sick.
The hospital has engaged a superin-
tendent of experience and worth, and
the assistants are just as competent
and attentive as can be found any
where for they are graduate nurses
who love their profession. The
equipment is perfect and patients
may expect to receive at the Mary
Chiles Hospital treatment in every
way as good and skillful as can be
had anywhere and when we meet
the board of men chosen to direct
this laudable enterprise and realize
the time of hand, heart and mind
given in order to make the Mary
Chiles Hospital a certainty, ideal in
every phase, we feel like removing
our sandals like unto those of old
who stood on holy ground.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-01-09

Despite the fact that the team was torn up last year when two infielders, two outfielders, one catcher and three pitch CTS were sent up to bigger leagues than the Southern at the end of the 1920 sea- son, the outlook for the 1921 Barons IS not as gloomy as one might expect. In fact. it is as bright as any one could desire. Such men as Catcher Peters, Pitchers Morrison and Glazner, lnfielders Stevenson and Barnhart and Outtielders Griffith and Ellis will be missed but the veterans remaining with the Barons ana the nucleus around which Carlton Molesworth, chubby manager of the Ba- rons, must build his 1921 team, have al- ready been reinforced by the purchase or promising Youngsters from other leagues and by the usual bunch of recruits who will try out with the Barons
 Although he has not yet arrived on the future scene of his baseball en- deavors, Boss Moley has not been idle while on his Maryland farm He has been busy gathering together possible new Barons and keeping i'll touch with the old ones. "Quack' Smith. president of the club, has been doing his share here in Birmingham, picking up good pros poets and otherwise helping Moley out in the task of gathering together a ball ot,Y

Taylor from Birmingham since he was taken on by the Barons some time ago. '"They won't get Taylor" "QuaeK% Smith says for the Baions need him
 He is a most promising player and should do well in the Southern league this season.. e
 The "all- Alabama" infield of recruhs lines up as follows; Hudson. first base; Trotter, second base; Freeman, short- stop; Berkowitz, third base.
 OUTFIELDERS
 Only three seasoned outfielders have
 been secured by the Barons yet, h;t others, of course will be given a trial
 before the season opens in April. Doc Silva, the fast little line driver who tired out with the Barons last season, will be back and sens slated for regular out
 field berth. Silva was the sensation of the Texas league last season. He is a heavy hitter and an extremely fast man on the Mses.
 1 Fred Blethen of the Blue Ridge leagus and Pennington of the Central league are the other two men being counted upon to fill berths unless something uneX- pected turns Up. Blethen ibatted .315 las. season, while Pennington finished with a 276 average. Pennington is said to be one of the fastest men in minor league baseball, and the Grand Rapids sport pages were full of praise for the stellar lwork of this young gentleman with that club last year.
 Grier, Davis and Brannon, Alabama talent, will be there when training opens at Redwood park early in March. The above summary of the outlook LOT the 1921 Baronial season from the present standpoint includes only players ~no have already teen secured by the Barons. Of course there will be others coming in, and it wouldf not be surprising at al. if some Class A players copped jobs which now seem slated for other players Al this early stage of the season it is impos- sible to tell much about the Barons prospects. but this little review is given to enlighten the fans somewhat on what they may expect when spring training season rolls around

Tech Is Willing to
 Resume Relations
 With U. of Georgia

Atlanta. January Cspecial)-At the meeting of the Georgia School of Tecn- nology in the office of President Mathe-
 Son Thursday morning the question oL
 the resumption of athletic relations With
 the University of Georgia was brought up following the action of the same oodN
 in the fall, when the board went on
 record as declaring that harmonious re- lations between the athletic activities ot
 tho two institutions should be re-estan- lished.
 At the full meeting of the board a res- olution was adopted suggesting the apr pointment of committees from the stu- dent bodies of the two institutions wtlt the suggestion that such committees meet to establish a '.inodus vivendt" ihat would enable the athletic departments or
 the two institutions to resume friendly relations At yesterdays meeting of the Tech board the statement was made that no further action than that already taken was contem plated by the Tech trustee5t the next move being dp to the univerE sity
 No suggestion was made of a recon-
 alteration of the action already taken,
 the Tech trustees taking the position ! that the attitude Of the board had al= ready been expressed, the board being unanimous in the opinion that 1t would | be infinitely better for both institutions
 to re-establish the cordial relations that formerly existed between the athletic de- partments of both
 | The board took no further. action yes- terday, believing that if any further step ' is to be taken, 1t should come from ths university from which nothing has been
 heard since tre action of the Tech board
 last fall in iraking the initial move to-
 ward peace conditions
 1t Is generally assumedtin in the city that 1 sooner or later the university will oe heard from and considerable surprise has
 been manifested that there has been no ! response of any kind from the athletic department of the peace overture made ! by Tech at the fall meeting of it's boards
 Unless sor,ething is. heard from the tuniyersity the suggestion of harmanizns

is q heavy hitter. He is not only a good
 mechanical catcher. but is also brainy baekstop, working his pitchers well and
 steadying the infield with his shouts of
 encouragement and reliable work.
 Gooch will have a worthy rival for first
 string honors in Fred I<ress, who is com
 ing to Birmingham from the, Central
 league. Kress finished last season with d batting average of .26S. and during the III games he caught, not one passed ball was credited to him. Bill Robinson, an Alabama boy, is a young recruit who will be given a try-out with the Barons as part of a twin battery. his brother, Jim Robinson, being the other half. MANY PITCHERS Four veteran pitchers, or at least three veteran pitchers and one recruit, who
 was with the Barons during the Tag enu or the season last year, and who made a splendid showing during the games he 1 pitched, will be back this year. They are 1 Coffindaffer, Meeker, Gallagher and Nor | rison. Coffindaffer, Gallagher and Morri-
 son are right-handers, while Meeker is a young left handler.
 ] Probably the most promising young | ster to be with the Barons when the l spring training season opens is Eari 1 Whitehill, farmed out to Columbia last season. Whstehill is a decidedly ,effea- | tive little left-hander who seems sure 1 of Baronial berth this season. There ! will be three Alabama youngsters out for i Baronial pitching positions. They are l James Robinson, Red Bates and Clarence /, Triton. The last named two are local
 products and both are really promising youngsters, although what they will do l in professional baseball is, of course, q
 matter which time alone can tell. INFIELD ABOUT LINED UP | From the present roster of infield can | didates, it seems easy to pick the in- 1 field which will start the season this ] year. unless, of course, some phenomenal
 recruit or seasoned ball player turns up l to take the llace of the candidates af-
 ready lined up. It looks like the follow.
 ing infeld combination to start the | season:
 ! Bernsen, first base.
 Stewart, second base.
 { Gardener, shortstop.
 ! Taylor, third base.
 Bernsen and Stewart are well known to ! Birmingham fans although the lattel | two are newcomers. Gardener comes i from the Central league where he made 4 a sensational showing last season. He
 finished the season with a batting aver ] age of .2S5 and it is such averages that the Baronial losses are after these days
 Taylor comes from the Texas league and is a 300 hitter. Several Texas league z clubs, it is said, have tried to purchase
