won save for the fiuke which placed a kick in Reidy's hands when all but 15 seconds of the half had flown. Reidy made spectacular run of 50 yards for a touchdown. and Sturdivant kicked the goal. Alabama was handicapped on &C., count of a muddy field, rendering swift tactics and trick plays impossible.
 The Alabama-Tennessee game to be played here Thanksgiving promises to be excellent as spectacular, in fact. was the Alabama-Auburn scrimmage. Ten nessee plays an open game, does Ala bama, and 1t Is safe to state that the bat tie will be royal from a spectators view point. Coach Levene of Tennessee was in Birmingham when Alabama played Auburn. and for that reason it is feared that Alabama's novel formations will be interfered with. However, Coach Pollard was certain last night that Alabama would give a good account of itself. Ten nessee comes to Alabama the favorite with the bettors.

 It is safe to state. too, in this connec- ton, that Chattanooga will not become a member of the Southern league this season. And no one can blame Little Rock. The travellers offered to sell out to Chattanooga for 900, but Chattanooga declined to meet the purchase price. It is learned that Finn intends remaining in the Southern league another season, flu- ishlng high up, and selling out to some city willing to pay high price for the Little Rock franchise

It was learned positively last night that the Shreveport franchise has been sold to Mobile. It was impossible to learn what price the franchise brought. It was also learned positively that Shreveport has purchased the franchise of Temple, in the Texas league.
 Another item of interest is that Tom Fisher, last years manager of Shreve- port, will be manager of Mobile this sea son, in case he is able to secure his release from St. Louis. It is understood that St. Louis is willing to turn Fisher back to the Southern leage if such an act will benefit the player. Of course, waivers will have to be obtained from all major league teams.

 of Sports.

New York November 2.--ThanksgivinS week practically closes the programme of outdoor sports for the current year, and as result at this period the next seven days will bring decisions in number of events of unusual athletic interest. There are still two big football games to be played and both will take place on Frank lin field, Philadelphia. The first, between Cornell and Pennsylvania, is down for Thursday, and the second, the annual meeting of the Army and Navy, for Sat urday.
 Besides these two games there will be a golf tournament at Lakewood, and the in- tercollegiate cross-country championship at Princeton.
 Naturally, chief interest centers in the two football games. Both promise to be stubbornly fought contests. Close stu dents of the game are predicting success for the Comedians, but precedent is against them. The two universities have played Il games. but only once has the Ithaca eleven been able to beat the Quakers
 The game on Saturday between the Army and Navy will be the big social af- fair. It has always proved to be hereto fore. the large attendance of government officials lending something more than ath- letic interest to the contest. In form, the West Pointers seem to have an advan- tage.
 College "Cross Country"
 Eight of the big eastern colleges will send teams to Princeton on Wednesday 10 try for the intercollegiate cross country championship. They are Cornell, Colum- bia, Harvard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Pennsylvania, Princeton, Syracuse, and Yale. The teams in aggTe- gate will make up 70 individuals runners. Cornell is the favorite, with Yale and Pennsylvania close second choices.
 The annual golf championship at Lake wood will attract nearly all of the best players of the country, with Jerome D. Travers standing out as the probable wip- ner.
 Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Columbia will play their annual four-cornered chess tournament in this city during the Christ mas holidays They have selected De- cember 21-24 as the dates.
 Saturday will be getaway day at the Bennings track, after which date New Orleans and the two California tracks will have a monopoly of horse racing until next spring

NIGHT NOISES.

Speaking of the misery of night
noises, the Globe says: We are ac-
clustomed to smile at the story of the
man who was kept awake by the "hol-
lerin' of the nightingale" We should
not do so. The man was a martyr. We
sink back into our bed after firing
day in the open, and are dropping off
to sleep, when we hear "Woof-woof."
From another quarter comes an an
swering "OO-oo-oo-oo-Oo-oo-oooI" This
pleases the first dog. He has found a
friend. Wow" he says heartily Wow,
WOW, wooof!" The second dog is not
quite sure about this sweeping state
ment. "Oo-oo?" he says, interrogative-
ly, "oo-oo-ooooo?" Wow, woof," the
first dog treasures him, and confidence
restored, the dialogue goes on for an
hOur-and-a-half till a duck joins in
with a sarcastic "Qua-a-ah!" Every
animal in a radius of four miles takes
up the cudgels Cows hurl themselves
into the fray Birds take a hand.
Just as the man is getting used to the
noise, it stops suddenly, and he wakes
again.

TRY TO LOCATE A
GREAT EARTHQUAKE
WASHINGTON AND LONDON SCIENTISTS RECORDED ONE ON Snip
TENDER 8-PRoFEssoR OMoRI DESCRIBES THE EARTHQUAKES
BELT AND TELLS OF SUCCESSFUL FoREcAsTs-HAwAu Is NOT
IN QUAKE ZONE

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. A.
The scientists of Washington in par
ticular and the world in general are
endeavoring to locate the section of
the earth in which the recent big
earthquake occurred. The record
sheet of the seismograph at the wea-
Their bureau indicates that the dis
turbance was of unusual violence, but
as yet there have been no develop
ments to show where the quake hap
pened. In this connection The Star
today received a special dispatch from
Ottawa, Ontario, as follows:
Dr. Thampson, astronomer at the
Dominion observatory, reports that
the seismograph there recorded a Sc
we're earthquake yesteday, September
2. The first preliminary tremors ar
rived at 11.12:18. The observation
of the instrument shows that the ire
mors were greater than for that of
the Kingston, Jamaica, disaster last
January"
1T is the question of direction that
is interesting the weather officials in
common with other scientists" said
Forecaster Frankenheld today. The
English observers said they believed
the earthquake happened about 1000
miles from London, while it is the
opinion of the Americans that it oc-
Cured about $500 miles from the
United States. Now the question is,
where dc these lines meet? 1t may
be that the meeting place, the scene
of the earthquake, is away down un'
der the vastly deep somewhere
The reported threatened eruption OF
Vesuvius was mentioned as a coinci-
dence in connection with the disturb
ance recorded on the seismograph in
this and other countries, although as
yet no attempt has been made to con-
meet the two happenings. The local
scientists are still one the lookout
for news of quake in some far quar-
ter of the globe.
Wherever it may be located said
one of them, III bet it proves to have
been a big one"
1t is calculated that the earthquake
shock recorded Monday in Washing
ton took place $500 miles from this
city. 1t CHANGED that Dr. F. Omori,
professor of seismology in the Impe-
| rial University at Toxic was at the
weather bureau when the shock was
recorded, and it was through a for
mula established by him that the dis
lance of the shock was calculated.
The shock lasted more than an hour
and a half, beginning at about 1880
o'clock Monday morning. 1t was rec.
orded also in London, beginning at
Ala p. m. If the disturbance occurr-
ed on land. it is said, great damage
must have resulted.
Prof Omori was seen by a report
er Of The Star yesterday and described
his method of calculating the distance
of an earthquake from the place of
record. He said that he had figured
it out by experiment, and that it was
merely an empirical formula, with ar
bitrary constants, but that it held
| true.
81 simply observe the duration OF
the preliminary tremor," said Prof
Omori, and upon that base my cal.
culations. Let equal the desired
distance, in kilometers; that will
equal fourteen times the number OF
seconds which the preliminary tremor

fourteen and subtract 1900 from the
result. Then l have the distance in
kilometers. A child of ten could work
the problem 1t is possible some
times to get the direction of the
earthquake from the place of record,
thus locating it absolutely. But this is
a more complicated task and cannot
always be done"
The DISASTROUS earthquake at San
Francisco was to have been expect
ed" said Dr. Omori 81 went over
shortly after the calamity to examine
the local causes, but the greater ones
knew already. 1t was not an isO-
lated phenomenon. The great earth
quake zone of the world extends in
broad band up the Pacific coast from
Chile to Alaska and the Aleutian ISL
ands, thence to the Kurile Islands,
down through Japan and Formosa and
across the Himalaya region to the
northern shore of the Mediterranean.
In this hemisphere three severe
earthquakes had occurred in Alaska
in 1899 and a most disastrous one in
Valparaiso January 81, 1906 There
had also been numerous disturbances
in Central America and Mexico. This
left the coast near San Francisco I'M
disturbed, but between two broad lines
which had been shaken. The next
quake was due there, and it came.
While l was in San Francisco l was
asked where the next earthquake in
America would come, and I said that
they were to be expected on either
or each end of these disturbed lines;
far to the north, in Alaska, and far
to the south, in South America. The
shocks came as predicted.
I'VE are making a close study of
the relation between earthquakes
which occur at nearly the same time
in various parts of the zone. For in
stance, last year a great earthquake
in Formosa came April IA, four days
before the San Francisco disaster,
and another shock was felt ON the isl
and March II. Vesuvius was also ac-
tive from April to April 10.
The Mont Pelee and Kingston cal
mites were outside the great earth
quake zone, and are probably indepen-
dent phenomena"
DR.. Omori left Washington in the
afternoon for New York, whence he
sails tomorrow for Europe, to attend
the international congress of seismo-
logists at The Hague, which will meet
September 81 to 25. He goes as the
representative both of his university
and of the imperial earthquake inves-
tigation committee of Japan, of which
he is general secretary. From The
Hague he will hurry to London, where
he is to transmit a congratulatory adj
dress from his university to the Lon
don Geological Society, which holds
its centennial celebration September
1928.
Prof. Reid of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, Baltimore, will represent the
United States at the chronological
congress.
At The Hague DR.. OmOri will read
paper on the earthquake in north
western India, in the Simla region,
April 4, 1905. He visited the scene
and made a thorough investigation.
The results of his researches will be
given to the congress.
