ALABAMA FOOTBALL
PROSPECTS OF VARSITY TEAM NOT
 GOOD.
pr. Pollard a Splendid Coach But His Material Not As Good As
 Friends Wfah.

University, Sept. 7...(Speciai)-Th football prospects for the current sea. son at the State University present az Hrky & an os as iHs
 It Is true that a good squad Is out every afternoon, but the men are very light and for the most part, inexsps. see. were thirty odd men on the field ar rayed in their togs. but in the entire bunch there were but two regular vet, an end--of the entire back field of last year, only the sub-quarter remains That's nucleus for an eleven.
 But Alabama has no idea of giving the season Is over. for that matter. Students and alumni know that in Doctor Pollard, the Crimson ana White has a coach who IS perhaps ae,.a the nardo ao down. - ,oa,s success with his first team, and last an aggregation consisting to large extent of untriedf material. But the season just budding will no doubt put the greatest tax Of all on nis resources. s4ss .a good record. too much cannot be said of his powers in teaching the young idea how to boot" Not only by the terial Is he handicapped, but also by the new rule of the S. I. A. A., which forbids freshmen from participating in Varsity contests. Moreover, the schedule for this year is one of the toughest propositions that an Alabama team has ever had to tackle.

TO CURTAIL RACING.
Won't Run Allotment of Twelve Days {
 RaImouf

New York. Sept. s.-The racing at Bel mont Park during the October meet will be curtailed.
 The original allotment of twelve days will not be run off At a recent meet ing of the directors of the Westchester Racing Association 1t was agreed that the meeting would consist of four days or pos sibly five during each week.
 The big cut in the number of days rac- ing at Belmont Park caused great surprise among horsemen The fact that the Asso citation had very profitable spring meet ing. which was held previous to the anti public betting laws. caused turfmen to be . lieve that the full quota of days this fall would be run off But it seems that the Association does not want to quit a loser on the year and while the directors are willing to lose some money. they are not anxious to part with all their earnings.

Juul walked and the bags were full when Bliss beat out hit to third. Hopkins was out on a fly to Connors, and then to those Little Rock people. Steve Reagan crashed out cue that went right by Blakely at speed of about fifty miles a minute, not even stopping to pass the time of day with the Hot Springs recruit, but heading straight for the center fence with Blakeley in mad pursuit. It was a clean home run. the bags were cleaned up in a tiffy and Reagan sprinted home behind Bliss.
 Hart hit clean in the fifth. JuuI ad- vanced him and Bliss tore the cover off the ball with a crashing three -sacker to left, Hart sauntering home with the score to O. Bliss counted on Hopkins hit to Page.

Juui and Bliss walked in succession, forcing Krebs in and leaving the bags still full. Hopkins smashed out a three-bagger, driving in Hart. Juul and Bliss, making the score 10 to 1.

 Hopkins,s three.bagger in the sev;. Reagan's smash in the third did.
 That .52S looks nice-but Memphis has a good thing for the next few days-they are in Dubtown. Pope started the fans yelling by his frstN and Pages hit in the second in- hing of the second game.
 Travellers blocked that double steal neatly in the sixth inning of the first game, but there is no telling how far that ball would have gone If Rocken- field had not broken his bat. plate in the second inning of the first game if he could have thrown the ball on a line. He had to throw 1t over Pepe's head. and it took a bad bound and got away from Spike.
 Steve Reagan broke Pop Eyler's heart in the third inning. It's not run with the bags choked, and a hat full of coin was collected in the grand stand and bleachers for the right fielder.

Hes a Prince of Meanest Men,

Mrs. Tessie Crawford Declares Husband Made Her an
Allowance of One 2-Cent Stamp in

BALTIMORE, Nd, Aug. 15.-'Has the
Prince Of Mean Married Men been
found?" This is the question many chiv-
alrous Baltimoreans are asking them
selves tonight.
Today Mrs Tessie Crawford. Of 41O
North High street, caused the arrest of
her husband, Robert c. Crawford on
a charge OF non-support. Mrs. Craw-
ford left it to the police magistrate
whether a 2-cent postage stamp in two
years was a sufficient allowance for a
married woman.
OF course, Justice FriedeI, who was
sitting at the Central police station, de-
cided in the negative. Judge Friedel
facetiously remarked that "a typhoid
germ couldn't live on that" Mrs. Craw-
ford went further. and said that the
2-cent stamp was used in mailing a let
ter in which Crawford's own affairs
were concerned. Mrs, Crawford told the
court that she had 10 work TO support
herself.
