ID RACE THIS WEEK FOR CHAMPIO SHIP WaIthour and Moran to Meet
 at the Stadium BOTH AT THE TOP NOTCH Moran Has Not Lost Race This Year, and WaIthour Has Lost But
 one-Walthour's. Last
 American Race.
BOTH AT THE TOP NOTCH
BY FRANK H. BELL.

Bobby Walthour and Will Moran will meet at the Stadium next Thursday and Friday night to determine the American rhampionship Both of these riders have made unusual and remarkable records this year, and Moran Is now pushing Bobby close for the championship of America. In fact. if he defeats Walthour in the races Thursday and Friday he will be the un- disputed champion of America
 When it is taken into consideration that these will be the decisive races Tor the championship, and also that they will be the last races Walthour will ride in Amer lea for several months, the people of Bir- mingham should turn out in large crowds The stadium should be packed to it's ca pacity both nights.
 On Thursday night Walthour and Moran will meet for 20-mile straignt-aWay, ar ter the amateur events, and on Friday Tor 25-mile straight-away. Special features will be made of the amateur events, as they are causing great deal of interest. sprint unpaced by amateurs always at- tracts a crowd and hold the interest as few other races except an exciting motor paced professional race will do.
 That the Birmingham people like the racing game Is no longer matter or doubt. The success of the cycle racing game in Birmingham has passed from the experimental stage to that of a real lty. and now the management can ex- pect full house whenever the gates are thrown open, so long as good, clean sport is furnished.
 In the races last week 1t looked like Walthour had cinch to win. but when he meets Moran this week 1t will be Greek meeting Creek Moran has equally as fast motors as Bobby, and all that he will have to do to ride the champion a neck-and-neck race is to stick to his pace and call for his packer to open the machine and 'let Ter hy.'
 Moran has been racing around the northern cities. chiefly at Revere track

Every afternoon all three of the bands in camp play Dixie and 1t always brings cheers from every direction. All ways the strains of Dixie" causes a cheer that can be heard for long dis tance.
 In this connection many of the citizens who were In camp yesterday complied with the request of General Clark to remove their hats when the strains of the national air are played and also when the flag is lowered at retreat.

The undeveloped resources along the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City rail- road are perhaps superior to those of any other railroad in the south; the timber Is practically inexhaustible, consisting of the highest grades of long yellow leaf pine. short leaf pine and variety of hardwoods.

 Jack Prince has stated that Boston was anxious to get this race, and offered a good purse for it, but he managed to se- cure the race for Birmingham, through his friendship for Walthour.

 All of this great promise of agriculture will. however. but add to Montana's fame as mining state. Speaking from a miners standpoint" said the geological survey official above quoted, Montana s surface has been but indifferently scratch ed. We know that whole mountains ex- ist, of ore too expensive to work be- cause the cost of living for man and beast is too high. The state has thou sands of other mountains of which we know little or nothing Montana is a vast country of itself; the mountains of It's western half cover thousands and tens of thousands of square miles. Now extend agriculture throughout the state, lead the great streams out of their deep channels and spread them over some mll- lions of acres of arid soil and this moun- tain wealth can be turned to mans ac- count, railroads will penetrate the desert and Montana can almost supply the world with the metals"
