THE DIRE CONSEQUENCES.
BANKER LECKY THANKED.

II the present plan fails, the receiv
ership will last from five to ten yeur.
and the depositors will not receive any
more than other institutions simi,ar-
ly affected received and this ranges
from 15 per cent to 25 per cent OF
their deposits. The excessive cost OF
leceiverships and liquidations accounts
tor this condition. Unless something
is done, at once, the loss to the deposI-
tors during the next thirty days Will.
approximate one hundl ed and fifty
thousand dollars and this will come
out of the total that they would ulti-
mately receive.

capable; perhaps they had lost their usefulness to the Barons, perhaps they did deserve a bit of punishment, but, to our way of thinking, condemning any man to change his residence from Birmingham to Atlanta is carry ing even bitterest revenge too far.
 A pelican-gaunt and ravenous will perch his feathered car cass over Redwood park this afternoon, and his greedy eyes will be cast around eagerly, as he seeks a meal of diamond fish to stuff his gullet and his per centage with.
 Maybe the Barons and Pels won't play a raising series at Redwood this week, but if past performances prove any bet ter in baseball than they do in horse racing, Magic City fandom has an interesting weekend in store.
 Hints of personal grievances have been broadcasted as widely as the nightly radio program, and it is traditional for a Baron to have less love for a Pelican than a chicken for hawk.
 That rivalry started way back wonder when the league was first tottering around on the prema- turely bowed legs of all young sters. But an incident appened down in New Orleans during the last Baron-Pelican series that didn't help an armistice at all. A Pelican slammed out n pinch hit with a man on second in game that resulted in tie. That man could have scored, but for some reason stopped at third. Peis think thnt Barons yelled, .No! nOw to the base runner, BarOns for showing considerable merriment over the boner that had just been pulled.
 "The man with the charmed life," that's what the sporting world is saying of Tex Rickard these says. The New York pro- moter is living the life of For tunes favored child, and every thing he touches seems to turn to gold, even as old King Midas transformed his surroundings to the precious metal.
 over Tn SnelDy, MOnt., JACK Dempsey, worlds heavyweight boxing champion, could not draw a house big enough to pay his own guarantee, and the little town in the midwest all but went into bankruptcy promoting the affair. That entire portion of the state was behind the project, and there were some shrewd men backing the affair. yet it was a "bust" from start to finish.
 And now, Tex Rickard, playing a lone hand in prom oting a fight between Jess Willard, considered a "has-been," and Luis Angel Firpo, a beginner of less than a years experience in fast com pany, announces that over s300,- 900 in advance seat sales has already been taken in. and that he expects the gate for Friday nights bout to run well over half a million.
 Tex Rickard is the real wizard of the ring, and what he handles seems sure to turn out favorable for those concerned.

 Brausen comes to the Barons well recommended. He played good bali with the Decatur club, the records slowing that he hit over 300 in that loop. If he can come through with his fielding Brausen ought to fill in we'll on third for Stuffy Stewart s men.
