 TO HOLD EXAMS
Clerks And Carriers Will Be Added To City's
 Force
(Besssnsr Bureau)

BESSEMER, Ala, July 25.--A civil service examination for post office clerks and carriers will be held at Bessemer September 6, according to Postmaster J. H. McEniry. This is the first step in a series of improve ments at this office, many of which are yet to be decided upon by the de- partment. Two additional clerks have already been granted and post office inspector will be sent here later to decide upon the nifmber of carriers to be allowed.
 There has been much complaint dur ing the past few years over the alleged inadequate service by the Bessemer of flee, which has been attributed to in- sufficient help and too small quarters. Postmaster McEniry recently went to Washington, where he was assured re- lief by the department, the two clerks and many other additions being granted at that time.
 On arrival of the inspector, postal authorities will not only ask for more carriers, but will take up the proposal to erect an annex on the Fourth ave- nue frontage. Treasury officials have already intimated that they would ap~ pFOVe LHe eTScCAOH OA %SV,VVV uNACA addition.
 Postmaster McEniry desires to ex- tend city carrier service to many subur- ban points, which are being served by rural carriers at this time. He has had the backing of the Rotary, Kiwan- is and Lions clubs and the chamber of commerce, as well as being assisted by Senator Oscar W. Underwood and Rep resentatiKe George Huddleston.
 Outings Planned outings for the remainder of the summer are being planned by the Bessemer Bicycle club, formerly known as the Bicycle-Swim- ming club. The swimming feature has been eliminated, and instead the club is planning a series of hikes, some of which include trips to Gadsden, Allan tn, Tuscaloosa, Chattanooga and other points. Anyone not a member of the club wishing to make any of the trips may notify Jap Bryant.

 Instead of locking Cartwright up, deputy sheriffs who arrested him had allowed him to sit on a bench in the jail yard just outside the jail door with his wife, while they tried to get a law yer at his request. During the absence of Mrs. Cartwright from his side for a few minutes the man took the poison, which ho is believed to have had in his possession when arrested.

Worlds Greatest Second Baseman


Cover the bag-I offer that slogan
for every eecond baeeman. On every
ball that is hit always have in mind
the play that may arise at your bag
and be ready for it.
Work with your shortstop-There
should be perfect understanding
between the second baseman and
sbortstop. For smooth play it is ne
cessary that the shortstop and Sec
ond baseman know who is to cover
the bag. This can be done by the
use of a. simple yet obvious sign.
Get the catcher's signs-The sec
ord baseman should be familiar with
the battery signs SO that he knows
jd3twhat style of ball is going to be
pfched. This enables him to shift
d hisabatters so as to- be in the
b1SE possible position at all times.

FRENCHMAN

! New York, May 2O-Contrary ia
the generally accepted opinion, it was
France and Frenchman and not
Greece and a Greek who primarily
| advocated the establishment of
the Olympic Games. The modern
I-Olympiad, fashioned after the ancient
classics of Greece, was first suggest
ed TO The modern world by Baron
Pierre de Coubertn young Parisian
who, in the spring Of 1893, took steps
to bring back the games which pre-
dominated when Sparta and Athens
were centers of the ancient world.
On Baron de COubertin's initiative,
representatives of the athletic organ
hations Of various nations assembled
in Paris on July 16, 1894 and drafted
Tho original constitution of the in
tcrna,ional/ Olympic Committee and
subsequently formed the interna-
tionul body. This committee was in
trusted with the task Of arran. ing
Olympic games ut regular intervals
and at various places in the civilized
world. Baron de Ceubertin is the
present head Of the international
Olympic Game Committee.
Classic soil was chosen as the
scene of the first modern Olymrics,
an honor legitimately demanded by
the home Of the classic games.
Athens. Greece. in 1896, saw the FIRST
Olympic meeting of the athletes Of
the modern world. Four years later
the scene shifted to Paris. In 1904
St. Louis entertained the athletes of
the world in the third meet. In
1908 London played host and in 1912
Stockholm staged the international
classic. The 1916 meet was post
poned when the modern world was
engaged in the most bitter war Of it's
existence, but the games were con-
tinued in 1920 when the war clouds
had cleared and Antwerp staged the
most representative meet of the ser
les.
In 1906 there arose in Greece a
wish to have a permanent home for
the games in the country of their
origin. AS a result n meet was held
in Athens two years after the st.
Louis games. This was to be contin-
ued every four years between the Of
ficial international games, but the
International Committee ruled that
the games should be held only every
four years At different places in the
civilized world, and the Athenians
abandoned their plans after the 1906
meet.
Up until the Stockholm meet in
1912 the games had been predomin-
ated by American athletes, the color
bearers Of Uncle Sam taking far
more prominent part than athletes
from any other nation. In 1912 the
games assumed their first real in
ternational aspect when virtually
every civilized nation in the world
was represented and the competition
was CORRESPONDENCE keener.
In 1920 at Antwerp this interra-
tional aspect was even more marked
fand at Paris this year the number
of nations and athletes competing is

IN GOLF LIST
Professionals Plan Of Sec
tional Qualifying Rounds
Is Fairer Than Arbitrarily
Named Fields
BY Joe Williams

Bulky golf fields are drawing the
drumfirc of executives who control
thc conduct Of national tourna-
ments. First the professionals act
ed to weed out the impossibles, de-
Gliding on sectional qualifying rounds
in the east and west. Each section
will qualify 50 players. The 1G0
thus to qualify will move to Oakland
Hills, Detroit, and fight it out for
the championship proper.
The amateurs followed suit with
the PRONUNCIATION of Il selected list
Of eligibles, some $50 in number, and
these players are to compete at the
Merton Cricket Club, Philadelphia.
The amateur list was arbitrarily
chosen from low handicap players in
various parts of the country and is
probably as fair and representative
as is possible under the circum-
stances.
However, it is hardly as practical
or logical as the system of selection
used by professionals. For one
thing, it makes no provision for
players who may have developed top
| notch ability since the last tourna-
| ment, and it throws restraining
barrier in front of youngsters with
| limited fame but potential skill
| Nothing brings real golf genius to
the surface as sure and speedily as
competition in a major championship
! where the hitherto unknown rubs
! shoulders with the greats and thus
develops poise and confidence. An
arbitrarily selected list must needs
| reduce this type of entry to a min
| imum. 1t would seem far better
idea if the amateurs were to hold
sectional qualifying rounds, open to
lall, as the pros do.
