 Independents Ready Again
 George KiFcher and his 1nde- pendents are about ready to hit the road again. Rain in South Alabama caused q number of cancellations, and they came back to town to reorganize their forces and to recop from flood losses. George told me Tuesday however. that they had booked a series of three games with Pied mont for June 23-24 and that they were also in correspondence with Anniston and Tailadega. seeking to arrange games with those two towns for Monday and Tuesday. June 1920, Wednes- day and Thursday. June 21-22.
 Any team In Alabama wishing to book games with the Birming- ham Independents should write Kircher in care of the sporting department of the Age-Herald.
 
 Riggs Regular For Good
 Reggie Stephenson, old Alaba- ma football and baseball star, who stepped from college cam pus onto a major league baseball club, has asserted himself in such strong terms with the will low that there isn't chance of Speakers benching him again, it would seem. Stevie has been lamming the ball so hard and SO consistently that Cleveland fans would probably raise an awful howl If Speaker saw fit to give Reggie seat on the bench again.
 The pity of It all Is that there are two clubs In the majors who have been angling for him all spring. He would have been In the game as regular the entire season if he hAd been on the payroll of any club but the Cleve- land outfit. His third-basins has been above par since Speaker switched him over to that sta- ton and he will probably com tinue at third for the remainder of the season.

Rifle Shooters
advancing Well

The Western boys and girls
rifle clubs are running in close
competition, both in membership
and in scores. Unfortunately, the
clubs are at a disadvantage be-
cause they can practice only once
a week, whereas the other high
schools have at least three days
each week. The cadets are MAX
ing a good showing on the boys
team, and to all appearances East
ern is trying TO have more than
one man on the brigade rifle team
for this year. The girls team Is
planning for a match with Cen
trails team to be held in the near
future, and, with some of the
scores made by the Fasteners to
compete with, the Central girls
will have to be good shots TO come
out with the highest average.

GEORGE WASEINGTONS BIRTHDAY WILL BE OBSERVED THIS
Race With Rain Thrills
Students Fastening to
District Public Schools

Did you ever race with the
rain?
Or did the rain ever chase
you down the street?
1t seems rather unusual. But
we race with people and some
times we are chased by people,
why not the rain?
Last week. that morning II
rained SO hard, the rain played
a trick and fooled several stu
dents. A group were walking
toward school, where one said.
Look down the street." and
started to run.
The rest In the group thought
he was crazy, but before an
other minute had passed they
were all running and running
from rain. The rain was
sweeping down Sixteenth
street faster than any express.
And 1t just succeeded In over
taking the group in time to
thoroughly moisten them before
they entered the school build
ing.
The rain can travel toward
different places just as much
as anyone else. Look out, or
the rain will be chasing you,
and you'll have to run . pretty
good race to win.

agement of the Civic Association.
whose members first started the
campaign for cleaner walls Tor
Western. Inasmuch as the Civic
Association had intended to take
over the matter Of washing the

citation thought it logical to secure
their cooperation in the drive
which is being conducted pri-
marily for the purpose Of raising
the necessary funds to paint the
walls.
William Brown has entire
charge of finances, and a sub
scription board consisting Of Cath-
crime Ellis. Helen Newman. Doro-
thy Barron, Peter Wells, Adrien
BusIck, and Jones Hill, will have
supervision over the various
class rooms and will work with
the appointed section room agents.
In order to stimulate interest In
the campaign there will be con
tests between the sections and
classes. The quota OF each room
will be compiled from the number
Of parents. and the 100 per cent
mark will be placed in a square
drawn in a conspicuous place on
the blackboard. In another square
will be written the percentage of
subscriptions, as they como in,
and each day the chart will show
the advance toward the quota.
The drive will extened from Feb

When that body Of men con-

other man destined to play q part
in American history, declared the

how Adams won the command for

adopt the army. There is but one
man for its head, a gentleman
whose skill and experience as an
officer, whose independent fortune.

varsal character would command
the appreciation of all America
and unite the cordial exertions Of
all the colonies better than any
other person in the Union.
ELECTED PRESIDENT.
The result was the election Of
George Washington as the first
commander-in-chi of the Amert-
can Army-which has never lost a
war.
March, 1875, he drew the Brit
ish from Boston. The story OF
the Revolutionary War may serve
as the story OF Washington for
nine years that followed. When
the end came he resigned-the
foremost man in the world.
Washington was unanimous y
chosen for President, following
the adoption of the Constitution
at the session in 1887. He had
been elected president Of the con-
vention, being present as a dele
gate from Virginia.
Then it was discovered this
product of mere February %,
1872, was as great In peace as in
war. He earned the title, First
in Peace, First in War, First in
the Hearts of His Countrymen,"
by his mastery execution of the
duties Of supreme officer in the
newborn republic.
FAREWELL ADDRESS"
Washington piloted the nation
through great financial dangers,
and through possible trouble during
the French revolution. Then Eng
land bothered him again, as John
Jays treaty was blamed on the
President. It showered upon him
much criticism and abuse. How
ever, when the sun again shone
with the brilliancy which has never
since been eclipsed in the United
States, the people appreciated
Washington and realized the cali
Der of the man he was.
His Farewell Address," a docu-
ment Of tone and sincerity, was
delivered in 1895. He retired q
year later.
John Adams succeeded him, but
did not replace him, Washington
returned to Mt. Vernon. He was
destined to be again summoned,
when war threatened, but the con-
flict did not materislize; so our
first President lived his last days
in the quietude Of his Virginia
estates. He died December 10, 1879,

Leslie McFadden is undetermined
as to his future career. He intends

good, his last report having con-
tanned no mark less than &C."
When he graduates in June the

say. But at present they are
thinking more of the basketball
championship, which he led to his
school, and the track champion

thinking of his going.
