Skeggs of Morgan County, and par Iticipated in by the Probate Judges of nearly every county in Alabama.
 The important feature of the morn ing session today was the adoption of general resolutions reported by the committee named for that purpose Thursday. By this action the conven- 'tion recognizes the increased cost and terrific loss occasioned by hauling over bad roads and the inadequacies of the present system of road building tr Alabama. The necessity of State and National aid is reviewed. Legislature lis called upon to create a department of highways. with competent road engineer in charge, and it Is the sense of the convention that the National Government should contribute to the con- struction of better roads under State land local county control. The Legis' tlature is also asked to pass laws mak- ing State aid to counties possible
 The executive committee will selec the next place of meeting.
 The resolution passed by the con yention this morning is as follows:

TOMMY BURNS AFTER WINNER Writes From Andpodes He Wants to Box Victor. NO LONGER WITH MCINTOSH Sewers Relations With Australian
 Promoter After Slight Quarrel. Is Anxious to Get Back Ints Ring With
 Either Johnson or KetcheI As
 Means 10 Some Easy
NO LONGER WITH MeNTOSH

San Francisco. Oct. 15--Tommy Burns Is to get back into the ring once more. after the Ketche1-Johnson bout of Saturday. This was the an- letter to friends when Burns said that he wanted to meet the winner, but would be glad to box Johnson again regardless of the outcome. The letter came from Australia.
 Although the message mad been on days, 1t arrived today just after the announcement came bv cable that Burns had severed relations with Hugh Mcintosh, the Australian promoter who handled the Burns-Johnson bout. Burns wrote that he was still able to go on milling when the police signalled to have the bout stopped.
 Tn one of. my bouts. that with Abe Sholtreau, I was knocked down nine times in the first three rounds" he writes. but won. just che same. l was not nearly out and Jonnson cannot put me out. I want to meet him again with only one condition--that the win. ner takes all He knows perfectly well that he had to go to a hospital in syd- ney after our battle to be examined. as 1t was thought had broken two of his ribe."
 Ketchel has yielded even more to the solicitations of his trainers and cut down his days work to what was a 
 boxing was chiefly of the exhibition sort. Johnson went through g slightly more strenuous performance and good sized crowd turned out to see him per- form.
 wilius Britt and George Little. man. ager of Ketchel and Johnson respect iveIy, had war of words recently in which Britt told Little that he was "dotng messenger boy for Johnson without getting 9 messenger boys sal. ary." Little made heated reply. but there were no hostilities. As a result. however. the managers are on the cool- est of speaking terms
 odds have not yet shifted on the bout, but for the first time there was 6 tendency on the part of the booking commissioners to look for Johnson money rather for wagers on Ketchel' so they could cover bets received from the opposite party. As a result, It is believed that the prediction or ketch. elrs price being cut at ring time Will prove true.
 Sam Fitzpatrick, Johnson's former manager, was a visitor to the camp to- day. They greeted each other with no apparent show of any hostile feeling fin spite of their sudden separation Fitzpatrick said Johnson looked as well as he had ever seen him look and that he expected him to win.
 The sale of seats opened today ana from the demand for seats of all grades 1t is evident that a huge crowd may be expected Ketchel weighed public ly today, scaling at 17b pounds. Jonn' son did not weigh before the newspa' per men but said that he would do ss before entering the ring, and that n' would scale 1s7. the weight at which h' met Burns in Australia.

 aMany fans may think that if Mul- lin pitches the Tigers are taking toe long a chance. They should bear m mind. though, that Mullin Is glutton for work, a big. strong fellow who dcesn't baik at pitching three times 6 week.
 Adams is the only Pittsburg pitcher who has shown even average Form against the Tigers, and Adams has been hit very hard in the first few in- uinGg of the two games he has pitched
 Here is another important fact one that favors Pittsburg. If pitching honors are fairly even. the Pirates have the better chance of winning as they are almost snre 10 give their pitcher better fielding support. The Tigers must bat out four or five runs or lose unless fhe flelding department shows up better than in the previous games :. If Detroit had good catcher she would already have beaten Pfttsburs Schmidt has been a joke. and the only reason Jennings kept him In the game was because he hits better than stan- age.
