A pathfnding tour from Birmingham
10 Montgomery will probably be run in
the near future. The proposition to have
such a trip has been discussed for some
time and plans now under way will prob
ably bear fruit shortly.
There is a great amount OF travel be-
tween Birmingham and Montgomery, ana
1t might be stated that over half the

cordng to reports of autoists who have
made the trip. Ordinarily tho trip should
be made in four or nve hours at the
most but to make It in . day has proven
an extraordinarily good feat.
Interest in the proposed route has al
ready been aroused in Shelby county,
Commissioner Peters Of the Shelby coun-
ty board of revenue having given as
surance that tho other commissioners
there would assist him in putting that
part of the route through his county into
good shape. This assurance was gfven
by him to Job Going. president Of the
Jefferson county Board Of Revenue, Mr..
Peters stating that Shelby county would

1t would prove a convenience to both
of them.
An automobflist strikes many things
along the roads he travels but A. d.
Woods of Drennen & Co. struck the end
of bee sting on the recent Birmingham
Atlanta pathfinding tour and all of the
pathfinders voted him the prize.
There would have been nothing very
remarkable about Woods having run into
the bee, but when the bee entered Woods
mouth and stung him upon the tongue
all other experiences faded into insig-
nificance.
It happened on the second days trip,
between Center. Ala, and Cave Springs,
Ga Woods was talking away at a rapid
rate to g. T. Brazelton and other &C.
cupants of the car, the line Of his con-
versation being sarcastic comments on the
water-barrels that roughened the route.
Suddenly his jaws snapped together, then
opened quickly and a bee fell out. Dur
ing its fraction of second of captivity,
however, 1t had managed to land upon
his tongue with its singer. Woods con-
versation for the NEXT few hours was
described as rather singing by his fell
low travellers.
speeders are having a gay time down
in West End these days. West End
abounds In children who are constantly
visiting each other. Apparently 1t Is
against the rule to visit on your own
side of the street. for these children are
always running across the street. Auto
mobiles are also abundant In the town
while Birmingham speeders are continual
" passing through the town. The dan
ger to the children from the speeding
automobiles has become so great that the
citizens Of that town have arisen In
arms.
watches have been snapped, and as a
result q large number of arrests have
followed, many of the persons arrested
being among the prominent citizens of
Birmingham. Small fines have been as
sessed on promises of future good Pc
havior The machines have been speeding
through the town at anywhere from il TO
70 miles an hour. The limit Is Is against
the state law of eight miles per hour.

That the Jefferson county board would
do its part 10 an assured fact.
Secretary @. T. Brazelton Of the Biz
ningham Motor club. has q good idea
regarding the formation of chauffeurs
club under the auspices of the motor
club. The organization would be part of
the Birmingham Motor club and would
be subject to the rulings Of this club.
Tho eliminating Of the negro an a chauf-
fsur and the raising OF tho standard Of
ability among the white ohauffeurs IL the
purpose Of It. It is proposed to have
each chauffeur pass an examination to
be set by the club before he can become
4 member.
Tho advantages Of such an organization
are readily apparent. It would serve to
help the reliable chauffeur In more ways
than one There would be a record on
file with the club to which he could refer
and on the strength Of which he could
secure q position. Tho club would also
serve AZ an employment agency in a
way. If q chauffeur should happen to
lose his position he could notify the secre-
tary that he desired work while anyone
desiring to employ . chauffeur could
also communicate with tho secretary.

Brown Fl, Carlisle 8.

New York, November 20.-(Special lin
one of the most exciting games played
around New York this season Brown unit
Isle indians this afternoon at the Polo
grounds by q score OF p to s.
Both sides appeared wretchedly weak in
defense and exceptionally strong in Of
Tense. The right side of Carlisle's line
was the weak point of their front ar
ray. At the ends the white boys had
every advantage. Regnier, captain of
Brown. showed such speed and accuracy
that he seldom failed to nail his man
in his tracks. When Brown was called
upon to kick Carlisle was. as usual, decid-
eddy lacking in the art of receiving punts.
The wholesale fumbling of the backfield
had the entire eleven much at sea al
ways. One Indian stood out head and
shoulders above the rest. That was
Houser, the giant fullback. He smashed
the Brown line time and time again for
gains of from eight to dozen yards.
Scarcely less impressive was the work
of WauselSa, the heavyweight guard. who
showed at his best in handling the for
ward pass. Several deadly gains from
this occupation were spoiled by holding
in the line.
In direct contrast to Wauseka and
Houser was Sprackling, the little quar-
terback of the winners. On speed, nerve
and accuracy he more than made up for
the strength of his two great adversaries.
Once he ran almost the entire length of
the field for touchdown. and again his
clever running back of punt and end
sprint and the start of forward pass
put him where he could drop-kiclk q goal.
With the exception of the few yards
gained by Regnier, who received the toss,
Sprackling was solely responsible for talk
ing the ball from his own goal line to a
sure drop-kick attempt.

Chattanooga, November 2o--In the hard
est fought game ever seen in this city
Tennessee and Chattanooga played a 0
to 0 game here today. Tennessee's form
was better than 1t has been all this
season, but still not good enough to
score. Tennessee did not get the ball into
Chattanooga territory once during the
whole game except by punting, but Chat
tanooga repeatedly carried 1t beyond the
midfield line. Twice the ball was on
Chattanooga seven-yard line, but in
Chattanooga possession, and three times
1t was on Tennessees 15-yard line, but
In Tennessee's possession. Broxton's
punting and Dawes star running kept
the pigskin In Tennessee territory dur
ing four-fifths of the game. The Chat
tanooga line was impregnable.
