New York, October 17.-(SpeciaI.)- Ralph
Milford and Cyrus Patschke. in a Lo-
zier six-cylinder car, smashed all cir
cular track records for the 24-hour race
last night when they covered the distance
of 1196 miles. incidentally the Lozier
company repeated its fine record of
year ago by finishing first and second
as their other car driven by Harry CODE
and Joe Seymour won second place, COW
ering 1859 miles.
Louis Disbrow and H. Lund in Raj
nier AS" took third place with a rec
ord of Ills miles, while Bobby Burman
with H. H. Hughes as a partner, finished
fourth with a run Of 1854 miles.
A Marion, driven by Lewis Strang, took
fifth place, covering 9O4 miles. while the
Matheson car, driven by Basic, made
record OF s91 miles.
For a race of this character the con-
test was remarkably free from accidents
to the drivers or spectators. The break
ing of Miss Roberts collar bone by the
wheel of the Palmer-Singer car on Fri
day night and the injury to Charles Bow
ers, one Of the drivers Of a Rainier car
early this morning, were the only serious
mishaps. Three of the cars, however,
plunged through the fence but their
actual race was concerned. soon after
the start the contest developed into a
duel between the Buick cars driven by

The Pirates Victory,

There was much disappointment in Biz
mingham and throughout the county
generally that Detroit dropped the game
OF Saturday and thereby lost the world )
CT ampionship baseball honors to Pitts
bug.
IN spite of this regret. Pittsburg is de-
cidedly stronger than Detroit and mad
Camnitz and Leifield been in first-rate
condition, the series would not have gone
10 the seventh game.
The feature of the series was the mas
terly pitching of Babe" Adams, who,
before the games, was not ranked as one
of the Pirates very best. But the young
fellow worked in three games and won
them all. But for him, Detroit might
have got away with great honor in spite
of Detroit's admitted inferiority.
And Wagner demonstrated beyond all
question that he is the greatest bali
player on whom the sun shines today
He led the hitters of both teams. He
stole a considerable number of bases
more than his nearest competitor. He
scored several runs. and hit in the
pinches. Cobb is magnificent, but Wag-
ner, everything considered, has him
beaten forty different ways. It's hard,
but we had just as we'll admit 1t.

AUBURN WAITING
FOR VANDERBILT

Montgomery. October 17.-(speciaI.)-
Every Auburn man, wherever he be, is
holding his breath with apprehension for
the Vanderbilt game at Nashville on
next Saturday. Five of the varsity
bunch are in the hospital and the rest
digging along at every spare moment to
get in shape. The accidents have caused
the team work to show up backward so
that the advance is not what was hoped
school game. in so many ways disastrous
to players. Mccoy Hardage, Davis and
Captain Reynolds are out of the back
field which makes the practice uncer-
tain, while Essinger, right tackle who
wrenched his ankle in the Gordon con-
test, is missed woefully on the line.
There is every hope that Davis and
Reynolds will round into form for the
game, but it looks blue for Mccoy, Hard
age, and Esslinger. This will greatly
weaken the defense. Harris and Her
ron, a couple of good promises but rather
light are in the halfback positions. PEN
ton is working every day at fullback
The ends are well cared for by Bonner
and Hill, who. In Noble and c. Davis,
have good substitutes. Powell is MAX
ing a good showing at quarter. but is
green yet. Beaver is all right at center
with a fine man to turn him in Cation, If
he fails. Both are light. but active fell
lows. Cogdell and Allen are playing the
guard positions, though there may be
changes if Esslinger makes it back.

Very Ugly Spirit

Team and New Granstand.

There is nothing for regret in the fact
that Alabama and Auburn are bitter ath-
letic rivals.
But it is a nasty spirit which prompts
old students of the university to root for
Sewanee when the Tigers meet Auburn
and which prompts old students of Au-
burn to root for Georgia or Clemson
when the football teams of these institu-
lions meet that of Alabama.
This spirit which does obtain beyond all
question. is very ridiculous when, In a
sober mind, one hesitates and reflects.
Alabama and Auburn are great institu-
tons of the same state. 1t is proper that
they should foster against each other the
most intense athletic rivalry. But when
Auburn plays Georgia Tech, Alabama
should root for Auburn, and it would
have been more commendable had Auburn
students rooted for Alabama and not for
Clemson last Saturday.
Frank Jones, let 1t be said, departed
from his old and well-trodden path, and,
in spite of the fact that he is an alumnus
of Auburn, wore 'aCrimson-White' Sat
urday afternoon. The example is good
one, and should be followed by students
of both the rival institutions.

LEWIS c. PRICE l.
COMMITS SUICIDE
PRATT CITY MAN
ENDS LIFE BY SENDING BULLET
THROUGH BRAIN IN FIT OF DE-
SPONDENCY.

Lewis c. Price. a former deputy sheriff
and constable, white man apparently
about 40 years old. put an end to his life
yesterday morning at Pratt City by firing
a bullet into his brain. Price did not
speak after he shot himself, death being
almost instantaneous, and the cause Of
lis rash act cannot be positively stated.
although It Is believed that family trou-
bles prompted his action.
The deceased was a married man. but
about six months ago, 1t is understood,
he and his wife separated. Since the sep
aration Price had brooded over the affair
considerably. and those who were closest
to the deceased man believe that this
trouble was the cause of his suicide.
Early yesterday morning Price went
into a room to himself and after a few
minutes other members of the household
heard a pistol shot. They ran into the
room where Price had gone and found
the man lying on a SOFA In dying con-
dition. He had fired a bullet into his
right temple. The ball passed entirely
through the head. coming out in the back,
and Prices brains were literally blown
out.
Coroner B. L. Brasher was summoned
Immediately, and after holding a prelim-
mary investigation decided that the man
had come to his death by his own hand,
and he rendered a verdict accordingly.
The deceased lived with his mother and
sister near Pratt station, on the North
Ensley car line He was quite well known
In the community in which he lived, and
the suicidal act came as both surprise
and a. shock

IRON ARE HEAVY
Independent Companies Have
Come Into Market
GOOD BUSINESS AHEAD
Principal Feature of Foundry Trade Is
Buying of Iron From Alabama
and Virginia But Prices
Have Gained.

New York, October 17.-Transactions in
iron and steel last week were again
heavy. Some of the largest independent
steel companies with a preponderance of
finishing capacity have been forced into
the market for steel billets, as well as for
pig iron. One eastern Pennsylvania steel
company and one on the lakes have pur-
chased from 10000 to 1900 tons each of
billets. There is one report that some
consumers have gone abroad for material
and some soft German steel is to be i'm
ported.
Contracts for steel making iron have
been heavy, aggregating 10000 tons, about
one-third being standard Bessemer and
two-thirds basic. The Republic company
has secured 10000 tons of Bessemer at $l9
in the central valleys. and other heavy
sales have been made at the same price.
The sales Of basic have been largely in
the Buffalo district, in lots of 10000 tons
each, aggregating 10000 tons at s1s to
SIS delivered Other sales of basic have
been made for delivery to steel foundries
In Chicago and st. Louis, and to bridge
shops and steel works in the east, the
steel corporation taking 400 tons of basic

pair. driven by Milford and Cobe, but
after CODES mishap his place was taken
by Joe Seymour.
Unfortunately for Chevrolet the rear
wheel of his car came off at $40 this
morning when he was rounding into
the stretch and as he broke frame
of his car at the same time he lost
an hour In making repairs. Before Chew
rolet got his car going again the Lozier
team was ahead of the Buick rivals.
The second accident of the meet oc-
Cured when one of the Rainier cars,
driven by Charlie Bowers, blew a tire
on the home stretch while completing
his five hundred and forty-sixth mile.
Bowers managed to straighten out the
car but applied the emergency brakes
too suddenly and skidded into the wire
fence at the turn and turned turtle. The
mechanic jumped to safety but Bowers
received a bad scalp wound and suf-
fered slight concussion of the brain. Just
before noon Chevrolet, whose Buick car
had resumed racing, came to grief again
on the club house turn when his steering
mechanism broke and he crashed through
the fence, breaking his front axle off
the springs which put him out of the
race for keeps. This seemed to start an
epidemic of fence smashing as within
the next quarter of an hour the number
Lozier and the Matheson car both had
trouble with their steering gear and
smashed into the fence, but fortunately
no one was hurt.

Barons Next Year.

Saturday night, the sun went down on
baseball for 1903.
What another year will bring forth is
guess work But we mad better get a
winning team in Birmingham for next
season
1t doesn't matter what Atlanta has. 1t
doesn't matter what Nashville and Mem
phis have. 1t doesn't matter If Mont
gomery and Little Rock do or do not get
out of the league. But Birmingham
must have a winning team, or all is
lost.
And Birmingham must have that new
grandstand which has been promised.
Unless that structure rears Its mead py
the opening game next spring, the sore
ness which has hitherto existed will be d
sickly sigh of a country swain to the
splintering of a Kansas tornado.
That's the dope, and you can't get
around 1t. Let us hope that there VIII pc
no unpleasantness next summer

The Football Outlook

The season is yet too early TO make any
predictions. The writer was a little dis
appointed that Sewanee was unable to
q to 0, and very much disappointed that
Vanderbilt lost to the vanderbilt alumni
Auburn is scoring big victories when
ever Auburn plays, but the fact that sew
eral minor colleges have scored would in
dictate that there is a weakness some
where. But If the reports are true that
practically all of Auburns last years
team is egain in harness, and that Rey-
nolds Tlohenor is again on the ground
teaching the lads to shoot, the chance for
an Orange and Blue clean sweep looks
good But Auburn plays both Vanderbilt
and Sewanee, and both Vanderbilt and
Sewanee are unusually strong-very
strong We would not be surprised were
Sewanee to defeat Vanderbilt this sea-
son. Tho Commodores. 1t looks from this
angle, are showing very little of that az
gressivenoss which wins big games
Georgia looks exceedingly weak. Ten
nessee, judging from its games to date,
Is not as strong as last season. Heisma1
seems 10 have a good squad at Georgia
Tech.
Alabama should finish high-as Ala
hama has always finished since Pollard
has had charge of its teams. Alabama
to date has beaten Union and Howard
ana Clemson. Mississippi, Georgia, Ten
lessee ano Tulane come next, and ali
should be defeated. Louisiana should
prove hard proposition in Birmingham
Thank sgiving. But if the l. S. U. Tigers
are beaten, Alabama will have CLAIM. to
very high hcnors, for it's schedule Is
most representative one.
