ALABAMA WINS IN
FIRST OF SEASON
Muddy Field at University Makes It
Necessary to Play Cumberland
On the Grass.

University, March O.-tspecial. lin the
first game of the season Varsity this
afternoon defeated Cumberland University
by the one-sded score Of 10 to 2. Owing
to the condition of the diamond, which
was covered with mud the game had to
be played on the grass. This. coupled
with the freezing weather, prevented a
fast game.
Notwithstanding the unfavorable con-
ditions, however. Alabama played game
at the bat and in the field which gave
much encouragement to her supporters.
Cumberland showed weakness in all de-
patrments. Sanders, who pitched for Ala
bama, was effective at all stages of the
game and especially so when in a critical
place. He was very wild, however and
this was responsible for one of Cumber-
lands runs

WILL USE GASOLINE
FOR DRYING TRACK
Barney OIdfeId Orders Fifty
Barrels of Fluid
BIG AUTO PARADE TONIGHT
The Start VIII Be Made From Capitol
Park at 8 o'clock-Auto Meet
On Monday After
noon.
BIG AUTO PARADE TONIGHT

Fifty barrels of gasoline will be burned
on the fair grounds track this afternoon
to condition the course for the races
Monday afternoon. The surface of the
track is still wet from the rains during
the past few days and William Pickens,
manager for Barney Oldfeld and Chair
man VanDuzen of the racing committee
got together yesterday afternoon and de-
cided that no chances would be taken
with the heavy track and the burning
gasolene treatment was decided on.
Fifty barrels of low test gasolene was
ordered to be delivered at the track by
this afternoon. The surface will be COW
cred with the fluid on the wet spots and
will then be ignited. The soggy track will
be burned until the top coating will be-
come dry and dusty. This method has
been employed by Oldheld for some years
where tracks We're too wet for racing
and was also USED successfully in the
east last summer at the Boston auto
mobile race meet A track that was too
heavy to ride on was converted into a
record breaking course in three hours by
burning one hundred barrels of oil on
the Chenille track at Cleveland a year
ago when Oldfeld defeated Earl Kiser in
defending the worlds championship. 1t
is probable that 0ldfield and Albert will
be able to try opt their machines, the
Green Dragon and the White Streak, to
morrow afternoon Both the dare-devla
are anxious to try their hands on the
steering wheels before the big race Mon
day afternoon.
The preliminarles of the meet will take
place tonight when the Illuminated parade
will move from Capitol park at o'clock,
having in line the majority of the au-
tomobiles in the city. The japanese
lanterns and other decorations are be-
Ing distributed BY the committee. Bar
ney Odfield will head the parade in his
touring car, towing the Green Dragon
racing car, which cannot be run under
its own power on account of the exhausts
not being muffled and the car having but
one speed. Paul Albert, the intrepid
German, who has so much at stake in his
race With Oldfeld will probably run his
White Streak in the line of parade, un-
less the noise of the exhausts are object
ed to by the city officials. An applica-
ton for a permit 10 run the car will be
made to the Mayor this morning. Al
berts car has four speeds and can be
run slowly but the noise is terrific. The
line of march will include Twentieth street
and the Highlands.
About fifteen entries have been received
for the local races. Oldfeld feels con-
fident he will cover a mile in S. seconds
or better on Monday
