That would have been false to the
intentions of tho club, however.
which was TO furnish amusement to

tickets for the occasion. and even
thus It is acknowledged that IL there

there are also good players among

the end OF the sixth inning. and the
score is the only thing tho world
knows of the merit OF the two teams.

Parade Is Big Feature Of Game.

Tho Kiwanians may have some
good stuff in the IA of baseball ma
terial but they are no Lion tanners

letic park yesterday afternoon when
the aggregation from the Jungle
barred their teeth and tore up things

an is to IL score. The soft footed
ones were not eating their meat al
the time, however. Part Of the time
they were fighting for II and part OF
the time the KiwanIans had 1t way
out OF reach.
The game. which Is undoubtedly
tho most memorable ever played on
any field between any two teams
was tied Q to Q in the fourth and in
tho inning previous. showed that the
Kiwauians were the better team at
that stage by five points.
Like n market place in some
oriental city with a riot of colors dis
played vainly beneath the sun. the
athletic field bore an appearance such

.uch ms in all likelihood It will never
take on again.
Chief Bartle with his costume espe-

region, Stan Griebel with advance
advertising for the Casper Rodeo'

high hurdles. are a few examples of
what could be seen at the park yes
terdny afternoon. This makes no
mention of the countless costumes
worn by conservative business men
who did not take part in the affair.
The Kiwanians have declared that
Chief Bartle's coaching at first had

then they left before 1t was over for

The game opened with some real
pIaying by each team. Foley and
phillips were batteries for the Lions
and Cullen and Cob were in like posi-
tons for tho Kiwanians. The Lions
were at bat Mt the beginning Of hos
%tilities, and after mar had been
put out at first. another had been
famed. and after Bill Alley caught
a fly sent &c him by Guy Cay II
looked as though the lions paw was
not going to get anywhere in this
contest.
The Kiwnnis team pulled down a
couple OF scores n the firbt inning
and were stopped from further cele-

Real Estate Agreement Most Solemn Compact, Attorney Tells Birmingham
 Realtors
CLARK HOWELL

Pleas for the expression of the real agreement and transaction in each real estate conveyance and con- tract were made before the luncheon meeting of the Birmingham Real/s- tate board at the Tutwiler hotel Thursday by Phares Coleman, law yer.
 An agreement concerning the sale of real estate is the most sol- emn compact of men," he declared. Tt should, therefore, be accurately, truthfully and honestly expressed"
 He urged the expression of the full consideration In deeds. The practice of reciting & small amount and other good and valuable consid- erations for purposes of escaping taxation is futile. MT. Coleman said. Not only Is it useless. but 1t Is a deception. and if consummated is a fraud, he declared. He gave a mum Der of illustrations showing the po- tential difficulties and embarrass- ments that may arise from failure to recite the full consideration in a deed.
 MT. Coleman paid tribute to Bir- mingham realtors and expressed the belief that the city is on the thresh- old of it's greatest period of pros perity. It is the real estate men who must take the lead in this period. he said.
 J. l.. Yancey presided at tho meet ing, which was well attended.

WASHINGTON BUREAU I
 THE AGE-HEKALD ! WaahiurtOu. D. C.. March S

Representative W. E. BankheaC will leave tomorrow with the House committee on irrigation of arid lands for Las Vegas. the Imperial valley and San Diego, where & complete study of redemption of presently use less territory will be made.
 Mir. Bankhead Is intensely inter ested in the subject and during the last session attempted to secure leg islation which would result in the redemption by the government of southern swamp lands simultaneous ly with redemption of western des- erts
 There Is little question:" said Mir. Bankhead today, but that next ses- sion will bring about this desirable Legislation. Our success will result from cooperation with western members of Congress. The President favors reclamation in all sections of the country and majority of the members of Congress are in accord.
 Tn the south there are almost countless acres of land which, If re- claimed, would eventually prove fer tile fields capable of adding immeas- urably to the wealth of the coun- try"
 MT. Bankhead is the only member of the committee in that territory which lies between Texas and North Carolina and he stated tonight that his visit with the committee would keep always to the front the re- Qulrements of the south.

Dealer Finds Jazz Without Powe
 over Savage Beast.

SEATTLE. Wash, March S-Some sorts of music may tranquilize the savage beast, but not Jazz, asserted a local plano dealer today, who yes- terday tested the matter
 He persuaded the superintendent of the Seattle zoo to lower a phono- graph playing The Shek" into a pit containing three bears, Mollia. Han nah and Joe. By the time the jazz zing cabinet touched the floor, Mol la. Hannah and Joe appeared al the door of one of the caverns sur rounding the pit which contains d deep swimming pool. A moment they listened. Then Mollia made a swing at the music. She tore the scroll work from the front of the cabinet Joe then discovered that he could stop the jazz by laying paw on the revolving record. Mollia followed with a right and a left to the gen. eral works. As the machine, still grinding out the tune, fell on its side. she jumped on 1t with all fours Hannah and Joe came in again for the finish and the three brushed the disturbance into the pool.
 Mollia jumped on it and trium. phantly held it under the water until the strain died away.

CLAIM HARDING
 O.K.'S UNSAVORY SYSTEM IN SOUTH
Accuse President of Playing Politics to Secure New
 Nomination
WASHINGTON BUREAU
 THE ERALD Washington, D. C.. March 8

The recess appointment given Joseph w. Tolbert, marshal of the western district of South Carolina, was denounced today by democrats and progressive republicans alike as the first step by the President in his campaign for another nomination. and as proof that the President and his political advisers are determined to perpetuate the present unsavory system by which republican delega- tons from southern states are quad rennially chosen.
 Tolberts nomination was not rec commended to the Senate by the ju- dietary committee, composed in a ma jority of republicans, which investi- gated charges that the appointee while serving as postmaster in a South Carolina town was convicted in federal court of having misman- aged government property. and that he sold or attempted to sell federal patronage.
 SENATE OPPOSED
 It is understood that the repub- lican members of the committee in formed the President that they could not recommend confirmation. and that even were confirmation recommended the Senate would not favorably act Tolbert is national committeeman and presidential ref cree. It is charged today that the republican national committee se- cured the recess appointment for the man in knowledge that if he was sustained in the graces of the Pres ident he could be depended upon to escort a Harding delegation to the next convention.
 It is understood that statements he a n he do ha made by Senators Hiram Johnson of California, William F.. Borah of Utah. and George w. Norris of Ne braska.
 The demo cratic national committee is preparing a statement to the same general effect, and the appointment of Tolbert will be referred to as an other scandal of the Harding admin iStration.

POSTAL CAIN
 SHOWS TREND. .0F BUSINESS
Birmingham Post Office Shows Gain of Nearly 100 Per Cent in the Past Seven Years and Still
 Going Strong

Receipts at the Birmingham post office have increased nearly 100 per cent during the past seven years showing the greatly improved busi- ness conditions of the Birmingham district. January and February of this year showed an increase of 20 per cent over January and February of 1922. and the increase Is continu- ing steadily. according to figures compiled at the local postoffce. Tho report showed the total receipts for 1922 were $959.O91.s5. while In 1915 they were only &5o7,417.2s.
 Increase Steady.
 During this period of seven years the receipts have shown a steady yearly increase, with the exception of the years 1920 and 1921. This was due to the fact that in 1918, 1919 and 1920 the price of postage was cents for letters and cents for post cards. In 1921 the price of stamps was again changed to the standard price of cents for letters and l cent for post cards. The advance price Of stamps increased the total receipts materially, and when the standard price was resumed the number sold had to be greatly augmented to equal the figures of the previous years.
 The postal business has increase sed to such an extent during the past 12 months that tfe local forces have been taxed to their capacity in han ding the heavy mails. Postal au- thorities attribute the increase in mail to the rapid expansion of busi- ness in the Birmingham district.
 The receipts of the Birmingham postoffice during the past seven years are shown by the following figures:
 1915, s5o7.417.2S; 1916, s57S,233.34; 1917, $649,946.77; 1918. $791, ,S05.23 i; 1919, $S30,019.1O; 1920, sSS5,107.26; 1921, S60,3SS.S4 1922, S959,09165.
