be fixed at a coroner's inquest today
Miss Lewis, an elevator girl in a
local furniture store, was dashed to

day when a bag containing the para
chute to which she was strapped,
broke loose from the plane at an alti-
tude of several hundred feet.
Pilot Is POwerless
The parachute had failed to func-
ton properly and the pilot of the
plane was circlng the flying field in
the hope that the parachute would
separate itself from the bar when
the bag broke loose.
Several thousand persons turted
away as the girl dropped to the
ground She was terribly crushed
but still alive when rescuers reached
her side. She died a few moments
after being taken to the hospital.
During the moments the plane
circled the field the girl made
frantic efforts to free the parachute.
The pilot of the plane was power
less to help her and she was unable
to pull herself up to the plane.
Unable to Land
A landing was impossible as long
as the girl hung below the plane as
she weuld have been crushed 10
death In the attempt.
At last the strain Of the gins
swinging weight proved to great 70.

Virgin Birth

The practical problem for US IS
how may we gain the power of con
centration and at the same time
keep control of our mental processes
so that we p2ay turn at viii 10 an
other idea.
Just now many sincere men in
the churches have a fixed idea that
the allimpOrtant truth is the man
ner in which Jesus was born. Deny
He was of virgin birth and you are
anathema. and the gate Of Heaven
is closed to you. In the meantime,
it is forgotten that the important
truth is that all life is divine, all of
us share in that marvellous miracle
by which life comes to human ex-
preston" DR.. Wicks said.

WICKS SHOWS WHY
RELIGION DOES
NOT PROGRESS
Peril of One Dominating Idea
Is Depicted by
Pastor.

THE reason why religion has made
so little progress is that men have
thought they have arrived at the
one true idea" Rev. F. S. c. Wicks
said Sunday while speaking at All
Souls Unitarian Church in depicting
the peril of one idea dominating the
mind to the exclusion of all other
ideas.
They have petrifed it into
dogma" DIR. Wicks said. They have
dipped their cups into the infinite
ocean and cried. Behold the sea-
Modern psychology is busy fixing
danger signs over many paths,
warning US of unsupported perils.
We are told how important to our
intellectual life is the power of con-
centration, and then as we begin to
focus our minds we are warned of
the danger Of a fixed idea.
THE man Of one idea becomes
crank That idea leads him about
like a dog on a string. We f1ee.from
him as from a pestilence. He be
comes that social nuisance, a bore.
He bores into you and sucks out all
the juice and leaves you high and
dry.

Being an EgOtist

This man becomes an egotist
who expects you to revolve around
his idea. The idea is his child and
he expects you to share his interest
and admiration. There can be no
conversation with an egotist in the
circle. He grabs the reins and drives
you where he will, though it be
through a barren desert.
"A true idea isolated from all
other ideas becomes a falsehood. Tor
every idea has a host of relatives.
It is born of a father and mother
thought; it has brothers and sis
tiers innumerable. To ignore these
relations is to cut the idea from the
blood that gives It life.

BIG CROWD WILL
 SEE BROWN MEET
 M'GINTY, BELIEF.
Splendid Program And
 Real Scrap, In Final Is Tie O.--tlOok

The main question before the house is: will Billy Brown become B. A. C. sick when he tackles Johnny McGinty, the Erin Earthquake at the Athletic welters are scheduled to step ten rounds --or less ssAbefore what is predicted will be one of the largest crowds of the season. The advance sale has 8 ten- dency to show this. If such a thing is brought to pass 1t will be SOME crowd, two weeks ago when McGinty got a technical knockout over Dick Adams of New Orleans, and two weeks before that one of the largest crowds of the year saw McGinty and Brown battle to near-draw, though the local boy won by a shade.
 Suffered From Bolls
 Since that hectic struggle the youthful MT. Brown has been over to Hot Springs, Ark, undergoing the boiling Tout process. When here against Mo tGinty the first time he suffered in1- measurably from boil attack, and 1t was noticed that the boils handicapped his work to large extent. Now that tevery boil has been put to rout, Brown announces that he Is in the best shape of his career and bent on handing Me- EGinty lacing tomorrow night. Brown asserted Saturday night. There will be different story from our first engage ttalShe; II | oiun PosiuVeiy tnink SD, oo you imagine that would have sug- gested that winner take 60 per cent and loser take 40?" .-s
 McGinty's Side Of It
 Johnny McGinty, the other man in Fthe case, topped off his training at the B. A. c. Saturday afternoon, and never looked better as he emerged from and featherweigRts. Maybe Bfown did have boils when I beat him about month ago." said Johnny smiling, land maybe they did handicap him. Still, the fans don't seem to take into con alteration the fact that I was making my first appearance in months in the ring at that time. and hadn't been able to reach top form. I'm even better now than when my nose was broken and my career temporarily halted. I think demonstrated this two weeks ago when won a technical knockout over Ad- ans, the man who had formerly beaten me. My advice to the square-shooters in Birmingham is not to bank too heav- fly on the assertions by Brown that all he needed to beat me was to get rid of his boils."
 With the two bsadliners on the scene and ready to mix 1t and a bunch of new faces promised for the prelims, it looks hams most enjoyable sports program of the year.
 Real Opponent Secured
 Matchmaker Evans was smiling smile of triumph Saturday afternoon, for he believes he has landed a regular stem -winder for the semi-windup. Here tofore Bigboy Crockard, the light heavyweight, has been having trouble getting a man to meet him in a B. A. c. ring the night of the show. Many have promised, but none have appeared on the night of the card. Now all of a sudden two men appear eager to mix it with crockard. First, Sailor Simpson

who never got going good last year is still with the club. Fincher, witi Little Rock two years ago, and Dent who pitched independent ball last sea son, will probably be carried the frs part of the season, but are doubtful Manager Gilbert is still in the marke' for a good hurler.

Parker, wh' warmed the bench for the Phillies, ant King, an ex-Virginia football player who stands over six feet and weigh over the 200 mark, are vieing for Nit zi's old job.

Knaupp was given his uncondl- tional release after 12 years servict at the keystone bag. EwoIdt, whe played short last year, has been shifted Dubuque, Iowa, club last year, is vieing for the shortstop job. He will start at short, but Manager Gilbert says 1t is a question if he will be able to play the same article of ball in this league
 Outfield Same As 1923 t<
 The outfield remains the same, with Bogart in left, Schick in center and Tucker in right. Manager Gilbert is not expected to get in the game at the beginning of the season. He has Nor ris, an infielder with the Mayfield club of the Kitty league, where he stole 39 bases, and Pep" Ripperton, a for mer Southern leaguer, as utility men.
 The probable lineup for the opening with be: Bogart, lf Schick, eff Henry, lb; Tucker, If; Hoffman, 2b; Ewoldt, 3b; Jackson, ss; Dowie, c; Caldero or Hollingsworth, pitch. f,y4s

agreed to take him on, and later, Ser geant Ray of Roberts field issued a challenge. Due to the fact that the fans have already seen Simpson in ac- ton several times and have never had the pleasure of seeing Ray do his stuff, Evans decided to match Ray with Crockard. This was agreed upon by B. A. c. officials, and the announcement was made Saturday afternoon that these two boys would appear in the six-round semi-windup.
 Balance Of Bill
 Others on the card are Tom Kelly, Boyles boilermaker, and Charlie Cafield, a Canadian, in four rounds of scrap ping. The men are welters. Kid Thomas will meet Young Mcintosh for the Jack Spratt championship of Bir- mingham, and Craddock will meet Kid Rich in four rounds. Tony Mareno was Rich's foe as originally announced, but Mareno suffered the misfortune of breaking his hand the latter part of the week, and was forced to call off his end of the struggle.
 Everything points to one of the big gest crowds of the year, and also to one of the best boxing programs since 1924 was ushered in. .-.e..-

NEW ORLEANS, April 12.-(Special) Larry Gilbert, manager of the pehnant- winning Pelicans of 1923, will show a practically new staff or hurlers to the fans of the Southern league this sea- son, and 1t Is upon the showing of these new hurIsrs that the success of the 1924 Pelicahs' team is resting.
 "If our pitchers come through, you can say that we will be up their bat tling for first place again." said Man ager Gilbert. Certainly our club is no weaker in the other departments than 1t was last year, and everything depends upon how the pitchers fair out"
 Long Training Period
 The New Orleans club has had the benefit of a long training period, hay Ing played the New York Yankees, St. Louis Browns, Cleveland Indians and Shreveport Texas league club, and the team physically is in tip-top shape.
 "Buzzer" Bill Whitaker, who ran a string of Il straight victories over Southern league clubs, is again one of the Pelican mainstays. Johnny Hol- lingsworth, with Memphis last year be- fore going to Washington, Is the other right-hander figured on strongly. Gene Caldero, with the Beaumont club of the Texas league, and Pug" Cavet, an old Southern league campaigner with Mobile some time back, arc with the Pels.
 Tried And Trusty Four
 These four hurlers, two left-handers and two right-handers, have made the grade. Manager Gilbert believes he has two of the best southpaws In the league in Cavet and Caldero. He has strengthened a department in which he was sadly weak at the beginning of the 1923 campaign. AS the fans well re- member, he had to get Lefty" Vim from Cleveland in mid-season and later paid a big price to the Little Rock clu bfor "Rube" Robinson toward the close when the club showed the need of good left-hand hurler.

 First base now is well fortified with Robert Rhode performing there With the release of Carl DunagAn and Pep" down near the season opening limit. Dunagan went back to Dyersbufg of the Kitty league, and Young went to Augusta. who in turn sent him to Greenvilie of the Piedmont league. The squad which win be in Baron uniform be as follows: Outfieiders, Howard Camp, Tex Jeanes and Foster Ganxel infielders, Robert Rhode, Manager Stuffy Stewart, Charles Tooley and Pete Brausen; catchers, Pop Robertson and Roy Spencer; pitchers, Sam Fly man, Arthur Olsen, Red Bates, Sep Good, Paul Bennett and Elmer Gray; utility, Herb Brenner.
 Red Bates will probably be called upon to twiri the season opener in Chattanooga. Red always fared well with the 'Noosa batsnnen and he is the

 The team will leave Birmingham Mon day night at o'clock for the Lookout What is expected to be the largest crowd that ever attended a baseball game In Birmingham and an attendance trophy winning throng is expected to view the Barons in. their season opener at home.
