ALABAMA COLORS
EASILY DEFEATED
Clemson Piles Up a Score of
18 TOO
NEITHER TEAM IS IN FORM
Wearers Of Crimson and White Make
a Poor Showing and Have Lots Of
Room for Improvement.
Clemson Also Weak.
NEITHER TEAM is IN FORM

With a steady stream OF vigor and
nerve Clemson ploughed her way through
the Alabama line at will and after the
first few minutes of play 1t was seen
that the sturdy South Carollnians had
a walkover In yesterdays struggle for
football supremacy at West End. The
score resulted Clemson IS; Alabama 0. 1t
would have been larger had not the
halves been cut so short.
Not once during the contest did the
crimson clad athletes have a chance and
it can not be said that their showing was
not disappointing to those who had gath
cred to urge on the colors of their ma
tive state.
The two teams were about evenly
matched in weight but Alabama lacked
in aggressiveness on the offensive and
showed little resistance on the defensive.
Alabamas team Is not nearly SO strong
as that of year ago. Clemson made
many bungles and left frequent openings
that would have slaughtered their
chances but Alabama took no heed of
these many opportunities and practically
allowed the South Carolinians to do as
they pleased.
No New Plays.
No new plays were sprung by either
side that were successful enough to at
tract the attention of the onlookers,
among whom were many men of football
experience. Just to be plain about 1t Ala
bama has got to show a vast improve
ment to expect any laurels this fall. The
men played listless yesterday and with
the exception of one or two men they
gave a weak exhibition of tackling. Time
and time again the Alabamians went after
their opponents around the neck and
shoulders and let them slip by with SEEM
ing ease. Wyatt made two or three beau
tiful tackles after the other men In the
line had missed the man with the ball
but aside from this the game lacked in
brilliancy and spunk
Alabama does not show that fierceness
in charging that characterizes good work.
The tackles allowed many opportunities
to pass without breaking into the Inter-
ference.
Coach Blount saw the weakness of his
team and gave the men a strong curtain
lecture between the halves. In justice 20
Alabama 1t must be said that they are
shy two of their best men, and that yes
terdays struggle was their second game.
They will have to do some hard work to
get in trim, and 1t Is unfortunate that
they should have been called upon to
play so early before their old admirers.
The defeat will give them a good lesson,
and the boys from Tuscaloosa should
profit immensely by the misplays of yes
terday.
Clemson Also Crude.
Now as to Clemson The South Caro-
linians are also weak and play with a
painful crudeness Their plays are worked
slowly and frequent hobbies showed them
not to be in proper shape for a hard con-
test Had they been as strong as last
year. they could easily have doubled the
score of yesterday.
These early games should not be taken
as a forerunner of future events as the
men are liable to show great reversal OF
form before their next appearance in
Birmingham.

Lexington. KY. October S.-Major Del
mar, the great son of Delmar, out of
expectation, marked new trotting rec
ord today when he circled the track in
2:0134, clipping a half second Off the rec
ord made by Cresceus at Columbus. Ma
jor Delmar used no wind shield or other
speed contrivances. Twice before he had
equalled the /Cresceus record, the last
time at Oakley park. The fractional
time was: 1894; 591a; 1894 ;2:0ls4.
The track was in perfect condition.
The temperature was uncomfortably
warm and the wind was blowing from
the southwest, which gave him the ad-
vantage until he had circled the half,
and then the wind was against him.
Major Delmar appeared on the track
just after the last race on the card was
finished. He was driven by his trainer.
Alta p. Mcdonald. His pacemaker was
a runner driven by Scott Hudson. AT the
fifth try for start Mcdonald nodded to
Starter Walker for the word. The terri
fic gait was almost too much for the
runner, who gradually Jagged behind. A
second pacemaker was picked up at the
half. An enormous crowd had been at
tracted by the announcement that Major
Delmar was going to start against time,
and the cheering for him was very en-
thusiastic.

LUTHERNS
WILL UNITE
All Differences of the Several
Synods Merged in a Har.
mony Conference

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller)
DETROIT, Mich. April S.-Lutheran
ministers OF the United States. repre-
senting nearly all the various synods
OF the church In America, began a
general free conference in Detroit to-
day and will remain in session until
the end Of the week. The conference
will discuss the various points Of Diff
ference between the synodical bodies
and an attempt will be made to bring
about a closer union and a more per-
feet harmony in the Lutheran church
in the United States.
The principal synodical bodies of the
church are the general conference, the
synodical conference, the general synod
and the so-called independents These
bodies represent between fifty and sixty
separate synods. of which about forty
are represented at the present confer
ence. Among themselves the synods
have waged almost constant warfare
on points of seemingly little import
ance. but which have caused a great
breach in the Lutheran church The
various theological questions which
have caused these differences are to be
exhaussively discussed at the present
conference One of these questions Is
that of predestination which caused a
number Of the present independent
synods to secede from the general bod
les in 1880, when the discussion was at
its height. Another point of difference
in the synods is the belief relative to
the Roman Catholic church and the
pope. One Of the synodical bodies be-
1eVes that the pope is the anti Christ.
fhe great majority Of the Lutherans,
iowever. do not accede to this view.
The movement for a closer HARMONY
in the Lutheran church originated with
Rev. M. Bunge. of Arpin, Wis. who is
at present a member Of the Wisconsin
synod. Two meetings have already
been held. one at WATERFOWL. Wis. and
the second at Milwaukee. which were
more or less successful. The meeting
begun here today u the largest Of the
three and II fs expected that something
more ds6nite may b. accomplished.

IRRIGATION
IN IDAHO
Plans for Reclamation of $500,
600 Acres on Payette
River

WASHINGTON. d. c.. April 6.--A
great irrigtion project is soon to be
launched in Idaho and in Boise. The
Payette project is one in which 100000
acres Of land on the Payette river will
be reclaimed. 1t is understood that the
proposal has been Endorsed by the en-
gineers Of the reclamation service, and
is now ready to be submitted to the
secretary Of the interior for approval.
That this will follow there is little
doubt
Senator Dubois has been strong
advocate Of this proposal. as also of
the Minidoka project on the Snake
river. The latter involves 100000 acres.
The senator went over the ground Of
both projects last summer with the
chief of the reclamation service, Mr..
Newell, and with Messrs. Savage and
Ross. Both plans have his approval.
The Casey act conflicts with the ma
tional irrigation law. and with these
two plans. but 1t is understood that the
government viii not allow anything
to stand in the way Of legitimate en-
terprise on the reclamation OF land
and that any claim II good will be ad-
Indicated afterward.
Both of these schemes mean much
for Idaho and will bring thousands of
settlers into the state
