Auburn, October 6.-(Special )-Footbal practice at Auburn is daily growing long CT and harder. The team Is developing by hard work so that the prospects for fairly good team grow brighter every day The line men show the most marked improvement and are making up for their lack of weight by speed and aggressive ness. The arrival of Holley, too, has add ed another aggressive candidate to the list. The back field and ends for the most part do not come up to the line in speed. The second string of backs are faster on the whole than the first. Among the ends, Wilkinson and Reynolds are fast but light They are working well In open plays and may be heard from later. The present lineup Is composed of Davis, center; Pickett and Batson, guards; Tha-

UNIVERSITY GOES | AFTER MARYV|LLE
Takes First Game of the Season
 By 6 too
VERY EVENLY MATCHED
fiannon, Burks, Franklin and Jones Come In for Special Honors. Next Game With How
 ard College.

Tuscaloosa, October 6.-(Special) )-The University of Alabama football team de- feated Maryvllle college today in the frs, game of the season by the score of to O. the game being fast and hotly contest ed throughout. The Maryville aggregation outweighed Varsity by between five and ten pounds. but were not so fast. They relied mainly on end runs for their gains and put up splendid interference for their backs
 Alabama varied her play more than did her husky opponents and was a little snappier. Fumbles were frequent on both sides Alabamas touchdown came after ten minutes of play in the first half, the crimson jerseyed warriors rushed the bail down the field with end runs and line plays without once losing it. For the re- mainder of the first half neither goal was in danger.
 In the second half Maryville recovered the ball on Alabama's ten-yard line after long punt, but was thrown for a loss on the next two plays. A place kick was then attempted but failed and Alabama got the ball, keeping it for the majority of the remaining time. When time was called the ball was in Maryville's possess sion in the center of the field
 Put Through Scrub Game.
 After time was called Coach Pollard put his team through a stiff scrub game The feature of the game was the work of Hannon, Alabama's plucky 120 pound
 quarter. He used great headwork and his interference and tackling were of the sensational order The defensive work of Burks deserves especial mention,' as does that of Franklin at left tackle. Jones also showed up well at halfback. Of the Maryville team, Barr, Taylor and McGill were the stars. Barrs kicking and end running were great, and Taylor and McGill also showed up well on of fensive and defensive. The Maryville limo taken as a whole outclassed that of Ala bama, but the latter's backfield was su- perior. Alabama enthusiasts are fairly well pleased at the outcome of the game for Maryville has quite strong team and ! easily ranks with some of the teams of the S. l. A. A.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-06-12
FTREMEN'S PAY COMES SLOW.
Sometimes They Have to Wait Three Weeks for Salary.

The flremen are now directing their attention towards having the city pay them weekly instead of twice a month. In most of the cities of the state the firemen are paid weekly and the local men see no req son, after having made inquiries all over, why they should not be paid weekly also. The matter Is in the care Of few men who were appointed by the others to see how this matter stood in other places and the invari- able answer from places like New Haven Is that the firemen are paid once a week.
 It is said the difficulty here Is that the clerical force in the comptroller's $ office is not large enough to meet the demand that a weekly pay roll would entail. This may be an argument for an addition to the force. However, the entire force in the Qfice of the comptroller of New Haven is not so large that the difference between 1t and the force in the comptroller's of- flee here would be noticed. The only appreciable difference is that the New Haven board of finance meets once a week, while the board of finance here meets only twice a month. The way the work is done in the Elm city is this:
 Every morning the chief of the fire department reports to the comptrol- Ter for every man who worked the day before. after the captains of the respective engine houses have report cd to him. At the end of the week tho tctal Is made up and approved hy the board of finance. That body issues an order to the fire chief who draws the amount stated In the order end prepares 1t in envelopes for the different engine houses. To the cap- tains of each engine house the chief gives the envelopes. Tn captains sign for each man in his house and then the envelopes are distributed.
 According to the system in vogue in Waterbury the fremen frequently have to wait three weeks for two weeks pay. They are paid on the first and third Saturdays. or rather they are supposed to be. but the calendar was not made for the convenience of the comptroller or the board of finance of Waterbury. Conn. and. sx have been said the fremen have fre- quentiy to wait an unnecessary time for their pay. Five times last year she last two veeks of the months ran iuto three weeks, and % far this year this has happened four times.
