AUTOMOBILE REGULATION.

Accidents with automobiles and sequels
thereto have been numerous OF late. In one
case two of the vehicles were rushing along a
city street 1t racing speed, and of course viii
fully breaking a most salutary law. when one
of them swerved and struck tree. with ruinous
results to the engine and considerable injury to
the passengers. In another and decidedly graft
flying a verdict of substantial indemnity
secured in behalf of q boy who had been
knocked down and crippled by automobile.
These and other incidents are noteworthy, by
way not Of condemning the automobile but of
indicating rhe need Of proper regulation of that
particularly convenient, useful and valuable
machine. The automobile has "come to stay"
OF that there he no doubt And it will stay
not as a tolerated evil. but as a highly priced
acquisition. But. after all. automobiles their

But they must conform with the rules Of the
road which govern other vehicles. They must
be kept within the ordinary speed limit. They
must keep on or turn TO the right side of the

SOME FOOTBALL GAMES
TO BE PLAYED IN MONTGOMERY
 THIS FALL.
Resume of This Years Rules outlin- cd in Spalding's Guide-Fresh Honors For Ed Geers and
 Lord Derby.

Just a little over six weeks hence the referees whistle will ring out over the heads of what will probably be the lars- est crowd that ever attended a football game south of Mason and Dixon's line. The contest will be on, the 26th of Octo- Der. between Auburn and Vanderbilt, and besides being the inaugural game in Montgomery this season it will be among the first played in the United States for the campaign of 1901. After this game there will be contests in Mont gomery between Tuscaloosa and the Uni yersity of Georgia, the University of Texas and Athens and Auburn and Texas.
 This schedule of four of the finest games that will be played in the South this fall insures some magnificent sport for the Montgomery people, Word comes from Auburn that they began work with the candidates yesterday and from now until the season opens the preliminary work will be hot and sharp. All of the Southern football teams are on their met tie this year and the indications are that the different elevens will be the fastest that ever represented the different universities.
 Spalding's Football Guide for 1901 has been received by The Advertiser and it is unuuestionably the most complete and comprehensive volume of football infor- nation ever issued by this publishing company. Speaking of the rules for this year, Walter Camp says:
 The changes in the rules for the sea- son of 1901 will not prove serious in the way of their effect upon the play. They are more after the order of rendering more explicit the existing rules and plac- ing sufficient power in the hands or the officials to insure the enforcement of those rules.
 For the last three years the popular feeling has been that the game, when properly conducted is thoroughly satis- factory, and that if the officials enforce the rules the result Is always fair one, and the game of the most interesting kind when equally matched teams meet
 ''The exact alterations which have been made in the rules this season by the committee are as follows:
 Tn rule of the Guide, section there is further definition of safety namely that a safety is made when the line. crosses the extension of the side line behind the goal line. It was gcner- ally supposed that the rules did not pro- vide fo- such a contingency. but, as a matter of fact, they did. When a man. standing behind his own goal. attempted to kick the ball out and made such a poor kick of it that the ball did not cross his goal line at all. but crossed what would be the extension of the side line and thus went into touch, by the exist ing rules the ball was dead as soon as 1t crossed the side line. But also by an other rule when ball was kicked out of

 The race for the flag in the National League looks to be all one way now. ard unless there Is an upheaval, there is not much doubt but that Pittsburg will win out. Montgomery baseball lovers are glad fthis, too, for Fred Clark made his reputation in the outfield of tho Mont gomery team in the Southern League back m the 9Gs. Clark and his gang of Pirates have certainly made plucky fight, and hc has the congratulations and best wishes of his Montgomery friends. The main interest in the race now is be- tween Philadelphia and Brooklyn for and Tuesday Philadelphia has Pittsburg in the next week, Yesterday. ,a..
