DRIVE FOR MORE MEMBERS, PLAN OF STATE FISHERMEN
Isaac WaItonS Will Meet at Chamber of Commerce
 Thursday Night

Alabama fishermen and hunters will wind up plans for their 1923 membership drive at Thursday nights meeting at the Chamber of Commerce. The meeting will begin at o'clock and in addition to com pleting plans for the membership campaign, various matters in the hands of committees will be attend ed to.
 President W. G. Oliver head of the Alabama Fishermen and Hunters as- sociation, stated Wednesday night a membership drive that will result in at least the doubling of the as- sociations membership.
 Various committees are working on problems facing the fishermen's as- sociation. and their reports will be heard Thursday night. The good roads committee. which Is in charge of the completion of the new chert road to Camp Oliver from tho state pike, will give latest news on the progress being made in bettering transportation conditions to the camp.
 President Oliver stated that the as- sociation is planning many improve ments on the camp this year, not the least important if which will be the removing of snags and clearing out of the water front at camp. New cottages are being planned. and President Oliver states that Camp Oliver in 1923 will become one of the greatest of its kind in Dixie.
 Members of the association are members and attain wider scope in that the membership campaign is being inaugurated. Membership in the Alabama Fishermen and Hunt CTS association costs only two dol lars a year. and members of the cam paign committee are anticipating no trouble In securing the desired quota of new members. O. l.. Carl, secre- tary of the association, urges all old members to file their renewals as soon as possible. either with him or with President Oliver.
 Officials in charge of the United States fish hatchery at Bullocksville, Ga., have written that the hundred brood bass to be furnished by the Alabama Fishermen and Hunters association are not wanted until af- ter March 20. so work in catching up the batch of brood fish has slow ed up somewhat. states Lucien Brown. in charge of tho catching of the bass.

is the man who is slipping that com plains.
 That department of a unions busi- ness is secondary. His first aim should be the care of the old play CTS There Is no doubt that it can be done.
 Every fall. for instance. we have an old timers game. It always at tracts attention. There is no reason why one such game should not be held in every city at the end of the season. If 1t was known that the receipts from these exhibition games would go to the aid of old ball play ers-the establishment of home if necessary-fans would flock into the parks. Can you imagine what that would mean in funds?
 o O O Benefit Games.
 There are 16 clubs in the two biz leagues. If every one of them put on could be realized. On a rough guess should say that s20,o00 would be a good average per game. That would mean s320,0o0.
 Surely the members of the baseball fraternity have enough constructive ability and enough willingness to work out the details of such plan It would require intelligent adminis- tration But they are engaging lead CTS to run the union. Certainly those men could attend to such administra tion.
 The heart of every ballplayer should be in this work. If they go into 1t on that basis there is no ques- ton about the whole scheme being a success On the other hand, if they try to make petty differences the prime motive of organization the whole thing will fail just as the unions have failed in the past. Noth- ing insures the future of any organ ization like accomplishment.
 I canot imagine any greater in- centive to accomplishment than the helping of old ballplayers when their days of usefulness on the diamond are done.
 I outlined this plan In detail to the representative of the union and he said he would think 1t over. assured him that the Giants would be among the first lto fall in with the scheme and put on the exhibition game. Any other club In either league will dc the same.
 In other words, the success of a union lies In the players getting the owners. managers and fans to work with them instead of In opposition.
 am so enthusiastic about this plan for helping the oldtimers that would be willing for the managers to go into 1t even if the union should nat toEa elin aa a bOdy
 Yes, there is field for a baseball fraternity. but it is not a mere carp ing over certain clauses In contracts It's purpose must be broad and help full. It must be constructive. not ob- structive.

 The University of Mississippi Uni versity of North Carolina was the feature game. The Tarheels led the first half, 15 to II, and the dope had that the champions would have it easy in the last half.
