Howard Defeats Owentm.
The Howard college baseball team de
feated Owenton college yesterday after
noon on the Owenton campus by the de
cisive score of 10 to 3. Up to the eighth
Inning it looked like the Owenton team
was due to be whitewashed, but It solved
the delivery of Pitcher Moon of Howard i
in that inntng. The feature of the game
was the heavy stick work of the How^

of the young pitcher for Howard, Moon.

Fi rst Game Today.
The long awaited opening of the regular
Southern league championship season will
he ushered in tliis afternon at 3:30 o'clock.
Birmingham has for Its opponents the
strong, rejuvenated Nashville club. The
teams are both up to the class and speed
required by the exacting fanatic w'hose
support the premier baseball organiza
tion of the southland looks to for ex
istence.
The Birmingham team's personnel is
well known, every angle of the local
team's strength and weakness has been
the comment of nearly all Birmingham
for months past. Today will prove the
realization or destruction of the fondest
hope of every fan here—to win the open
ing game of !90fi from Nashville.
The tribe of Finn comes with an Injec
tion of new bloow and faces. Gilbert
once a star in this circuit, was secured
from Kansas City in the American Asso
ciation along with Inflelder Castro in ex
change for Billy Phyle, who was recently
reinstated to good standing and sold by
Memphis to Nashville. Castro wras utility

Mack captured the first penant ever
floated from a Quaker ball lot. Stafford
Is the Atlanta first cushion performer who
was purchased by Finn from Atlanta.
Riesinger, the fine young catcher, was
bought from the Greenville (Miss.) Cotton
States league team last spring, and was
so unfortunate as to break a leg In a
spring exhibition game witli the Boston
Americans. Sorrells comes from the Hous
ton. Texas, league team and is a first
class right-hander, he finished the season
with Shreveport last year and is secured
to the Flnnltes through the covering up
policy of the Pittsburg club.
Wiseman, Kanzler, Bohannon, Jansing,
Fisher, Ely, Russell und Herman are well
known to local fandom. Allamang. for
merly one of the south's premier slabmen
under p'inn at Little Rock, was secured
this spring from the Indianapolis Amer
ican Association team, in which circuit
the bullet headed blonde has been earn
ing a meal ticket since leaving the south.
Wells, catcher, and Geyer, pitcher, are
new faces in this league.
The great game will be called promptly
at 3:30 o'clock by Umpire Kennedy, who
arrived in the city yesterday ready for
the bell to tap.
Parade at 1:30.
An automobile parade, headed by a
brass band, will pass through the streets
of Birmingham from 1 o’clock to 1:39
o'clock this afternoon. The club officials,
umpire, county and city dignitaries and
the players of the Birmingham and the
Nashville teams will be the attraction.
'I’he Nashville team arrives in Birming
ham this morning. The team is feeling
pretty chesty of its recent 3 to 1 victory
over the Pittsburg National league team.
The parade will reach the baseball

grounds about 2:30 o’clock, when the two
teams will begin limbering up prepara
tory to the initial combat.
Dale Gear Captain.
Dale Gear, the intelligent and hard
working outfielder of the Birmingham
squard, was yesterday appointed field
captain of the Birni|££ham baseball club
by Manager Vaughan. Jn the selection
of Gear as his flqld leader. Vaughan has
exercised particularly good Judgment.
Gear is peculiarly well qualified to lead
and direct the field movements of a ball
club. He is sufficiently aggressive with
out rowdyism; has tact, with a full com
prehensive knowledge of baseball and all
its points, and holds the respect and con
fidence of all his teammates. Vauglmn
and Gear as the executive and directing
forces of the Barons' fortunes should
prove a strong combination.
Managers Are Optimistic.
Manager Vaughan of Birmingham said:
‘‘With reference to our chances of win
ning the opening game today from Nash
ville, 1 will say that. I have every con
fidence in the superiority of my club and
expect the Birmingham team to add the
first game up in the won column. Wil
helm will pitch and is in fine fettle, and
I am satisfied that he can turn the
trick."
Manager Finn said in Nashville:
"I have a well balanced- bunch this
year and have confidence in my selec
tions. We will make Birmingham know
that a real ball game has been played
when the last man is counted out, and
by ‘Funder’ I believe we will win to
morrow."
Gates Open at 1 O’clock.
For the convenience of the general pub
lice the ticket offices at the baseball
grounds will be opened at 1 o'clock to
day. This move is for the purpose of
handling witli ease and facility the im
mense crowd which will in all probability
be in attendance this afternoon. In
connection with town places where
tickets can be purchased, the early open
ing of the box offices at the park will
prevent any possible congestion at the
grounds and make the handling of the
crowd comparatively easy.
Diamond Glints.

Umpire Kennedy will make his initial
bow to southern fans.
This is Infieldcr Castro's first season in ;

finds.
Molesworth is back in the game, with

Much joy will be spread tonight In cer

Barons capture today's game.
Captain Dale Gear of the Birmingham
team will have complete control of all
field movements.
A foolish fellow, who is the self-ap

Jay Gould, the seventeen-year old son
of George J. Gould, won the amateur

The Ruffalo Eastern League baseball
club yesterday defeated the Cincinnati
National League team by the score of 4
to 0 In Cincinnati. The hits were 7 and
4, the Reds getting the fewer number,
and tin; errors were two each.
Philadelphia scribes are already out
witli a hammer for Brouthers, the former
Birmingham and Montgomery third base
man. claiming that he cannot lilt enough
for the select company in which the Ath
letics move.
A great mental battle is on. The two
old warhorses, George Liedy and Sam
Baroque are clinched in a death grip.
George is the coach at the Marlon Mili
tary Institute, while Sam holds a like
post down at the Southern University at
Greensboro. The teams of the above in
stitutions are now engaged in a red hot
series and much plug cut, and king's
English is consumed throughout the en
counters by the distinguished Instructors.
"Scrap Iron" Beecher, who was a
Southern League star last season, has
jumped to the Altoona club of the Tri
State League, having been engaged by
Manager Arthur Irwin to replace Otto
Williams, who is with Washington.
Beecher says that his salary with Al
toona justifies him in becoming an out
law.
“T never could understand what figure
a ball player’s age cuts so long as he de
j livers the goods." muses Kid Gleason.
| the veteran secondbaseman of the Phila
[ delphia Nationals, “but some scribes de
vote more space to the length of service
of a man than to bis ability. The game
is too fast for four-flushing, and the old
j timer who stays in fast company gives
satisfactory returns for his salary. Man
agers may hire a lot of youngsters In the
fall, but only a limited number fill the
bill. The old fellows are the more con
j sistent and valuable performers."
Thirty-eight college and university men
will plav in the major league this sea
son, and exactly, one-half of the number
are pitchers.
Pitcher Moxie Manuel, who was with
| the Pelicans last season and was drafted
' by the Washington American League
team, has been turned over to the Baltl

Tom Matthew’s, the young University of
I Alabama student whose sad death by
1 drowning occurred recently at Tuscaloosa,
was a very promising baseball pitcher.
The New York Giants recently walked
off the Ifleld at Providence. R. I.. In an
exhibition game with Providence because
i he arbitrator’s ruling did not satisfy the

Two ex-Little Rock managers will be
in the game today in the field and on the
bench. In the persons of Dale Gear and
Mike Finn. An ex-Baron mogul will
twirl for the locals.
Gilbert. AUamang and Ely. former
Travellers, are with the Nashville team.
It is probable that Castro will not be |
in the Nashville line-up today. He ar

SPRING GOSSIP IN
THE FASHIONABLE WORLD
Note-Writing as a Fine Art with the Modern Society Woman
Who Appreciates the Aesthetics of Stationery
Age-Herald, Tuesday, April 10.
In a little brochure just Issued
by the Whitings the aesthetics of
stationery are discussed, and for
either the modern society woman,
the debutante and the young
matron coming under this head,
and for the business man as
well, there is given the correct
form, which, moro than even the
fashions in dress, changes with
the periods.
According to this little bro
chure, a clever woman of the
Four Hundred has defined the
etiquette as common sense in the
usages of society—with a little
heart thrown in.
“Tact," she caustically de
clares. “is the result of education
undertaken to produce success
ful results.”
The gulf between good and
bad form in small points of eti
quette is vast. To pertinaciously
adhere to old forms when they
have been discarded for more
eiegant ones is stupid. While it.
Is by no means necessary to keep
pace with every passing fad of
fashion, cultivated men and
women always desire to be in
touch with the times.
In compiling this brochure, I he
best authorities of this country
and Europe have boon consulted.
The grand dan.e of fashion re
quires stationery a trifle more
elegant and of somewhat heavier
texture than that with which she
provides the desk of the debu
tante.
Frequently, even to the grand
dame, one of the most puzzling
ethics of note and letter writing
is with regard to ihe most irre
proachable conclusion. This does
not, of course, apply to the cor
respondence of relatives or such
near friends as those to whom
may fittingly be accorded an af
fectionate term.
“Sincerely” is a good old Eng
lish conclusion; dignified and fit
ting where the degree of friend
ship is slight or of formal char
acter.
"Cordially'' or “Very cordially”
is in use between friends and
acquaintances whore a directly
affectionate signature is not de
sirable.
“Very truly” is a purely busi
ness signature, correct either for
men or women. It is wholly in
admissible in police correspond
ence.
In writing a note, a matron
should under no circumstances
sign her married name. This is
correct to add in the lower left
hand corner of the note.
The morlish society woman no
more thinks of traveling without
a supply of the latest correct
stationery than she does of start
ing off without her toilet acces
sories. Hotel stationery should
always he avoided, as its use,
save for purely business pur
poses, is inelegant in the ex
treme.
Another item about which the
modish woman is quite as partic
ular, and at the present lime
especially insistent upon, is the
addressing of notes and letters
to the men of her acquaintance.
Formerly it was correct to
write the prefix, “Mr.” This form
of address has now almost entire
ly gone out of vogue. Heverting
to Colonial days, Dame Fashion
has again set her seal of ap
proval upon that fine old English
affix, “Esquire.”
This dignified affix is equally
applicable when addressing a
letter to a man In private life, a
cabinet officer, or any one in offi
cial life, and is now superseding
the prefix. “Honorable.”
So entirely obsolete has the
prefix “Mr." become that, it is
current In fashionable life only
when a communication is to be
addressed other than for. social
or private use.
Loveman, Joseph & Loeb are sole agents in Bir
mingham for Whiting’s Stationery and will be glad to
furnish you a copy of “The Aesthetics of Stationery”
without charge.
It is a most valuable little booklet to have in your
writing desk and to consult frequently for information
as to forms of invitation cards for dinners, afternoon
teas and other social functions.
But the supply is limited. If you desire a copy,

GREENSBORO TAKES
SECOND FROM MARION
Both Teams Showed Fine Form, and It
Was a Fight to the
Finish.
Greensboro. April 10.—(Special.)—The
Southern University took the second game
of the Marion Military Institute series
by superior ball playing. All men on both
sides were in the best of condition and
the game was a fight to the finish. Both
games have been fine exhibitions of base
ball and the attendance has shown how
the people of Greensboro appreciate good
ball playing. The crowds have been the
largest ever seen on the local diamond.
The Marion boys played hard and well.
Errors in the first Inning took some of
the starch out of them, but Word's great
pitching kept up all t'he way through and
made the game uncertain till the close.
"Daddy" LaRoeque’s Southern University
lads were in the game from the start
and played almost perfect ball. A beau
tiful double was pulled off by Hastings,
Ward and McGehee with a man on first
and one down.
The feature of the game was Ward’s
magnificent playing at short. The boy
accepted seven chances without even a 1
fumble, two of which were sensational. !
One was a running one-hand stop of a i
hot one off of second bag and the other I
was the catching of a line drive witli !
two men on bases and two down. To
reach the ball the kid had to fall his
full length and then barely reached the
ball five inches off the ground. Kil
lough's catching wras superb. He is one
of the best college players in the south.
McGehee pitched a fine game. His con
trol was good and he was touched up
for only six lilts. He was cool at critical
times and played the game in a way
well up to his fine reputation. Marion Mil
itary Institute plays here again tomorrow.
