infer that because last year Auburn signed the contract allowing for only sixteen men there was no reason Tor the same college this year demanding an allowance of several more men and at a higher per day hotel rate per man.

This Thomas Brass, graauate manager of the Auburn Athletic As sociation. strenuously denies. and in his statement given out today for pub Iicstion he points out how the team last year lost money on the two-doliar- a-day hotel rate and also was handed a lemon" in the men allowance for the trip. MT. Bragg submits that 1t Is absolutely unreasonable to expect football eleven to fare comfortably on a less than sS.5o hotel rate in Birm- ingham.
 As for the selection of the umpire. Mir. Bragg declares that industrious efforts have been made in conjunction with Coach Pollard. of Alabama, and others of the University, to agree on suitable official. Falling in this, as tbe correspondence will show, the Auburn spokesman suggested that the proper solution was the engagement of an Eastern expert to be furnished by the well-known Eastern Committee

 Thos. Bragg,

 would call attention to the fact
The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-05-17

an umpire that knows neither Auburn l nor Tuscaloosa.
 Reasons set Forth. 1 The statement of Mir. Bragg is as | follows:
 The Athletic authorities have here tofore refrained from giving anything to the press with regard to the Ala
 bama- Auburn disagreement, as they 1 are opposed to airing these contro- versies in print, but the communica- ton of Messrs. Pollard, Prichard and Turnipseed, which recently appeared
 In The ABe-Herald. Is such an ex- parte statement. and is so inaccurate. | that 1t cannot be allowed to pass un- | answered.
 Tn the first place. I will take up the statement of the Alabama Committee with regard to the number of men aI- lowed by the contract of 1907, and with reference thereto, I would state that the contract which sent to the Ala oama Manager in the spring of 1907 allowed nineteen or twenty men, it be- Ing presumed at that time, that the game would be played at West End Park. where. with the less number Of entrances, a smaller number of men could look after the gates than would be required at the Fair Grounds. This contract was changed by the Alabama Manager and a return copy was sent to me which allowed only seventeen men. I reluctantly accept ed this contract rather than engage in controversy over the matter ana at that time did not anticipate the increased expense which would be at- tendant upon handling the game at the Fair Ground Park.
 Some weeks prior to the game of last November. in a conference which I had with pr. Pollard. (Coach and Treasurer of the Alabama Athletic As sociation) I called attention to the fact that the number of men which Alabama had allowed us in the contract was entirely too small to permit us to avoid considerable financial loss, and he agreed with me. saying: We can make this up in our next years con- tract"
 As regards the g per day hotel rate per man, In the contract of 1907, I would say that I only signed the contract for the rate mentioned for the reason that I presumed could secure special low hotel rate in Birmingham. as I had done in Atlanta for several years previously. Tn this was sadly mistaken. and although 1 made efforts to make special rates at some of the leading Birmingham hotels. and was unable to do so and our hotel bill per man ranged from S3.sO to $3.75 per day. the meals on the "A La Carte" plan being particularly high.
 It will thus be seen that the 1907 contract occasioned a loss of from S1.60 to $1.75 per day per man for practically two days, and while this was an absolutely necessary ana Legitimate expense, 1t had to be paid for out of Auburn's share of the pro- ceeds of the game.
 More Than Necessary.
 On account of the importance of the game, Auburn carried no less than sixteen players, and substitutes. and in addition it's coach and manager, while at least six men were required to look after the gates. since by mutual agree ment the sale of tickets devolved upon the Alabama management, the tickets being taken up at the gates by Auburn
