SPI ,ENDID VICTORY OF
 BIRMINGHAM HIGH SCHOOL

The splendid victory of Birmingham High school over the University or Ala hama reserves Saturday at Tuscaloosa will he the sole topic of discussion Tn 'local prep circles this week. Those Who witnessed the game declared it in all respects the prettest exhibition ever given on the gridiron at Tuscaloosa. High school won by score of 5 to 0.
 The work of the local boys was pro- nounced by many of the university poys who were present as little short or "oh- derful. They were outweighed- by theif opponents 10 pounds up to the man. ana were badly handicapped to boot by me muddiness of the field. In spite Of these conditions Messer's men turned the neat est tricks imaginable for heavy gains, and were able at nearly all times 10 keep the enemy at safe distance rom their goal.
 Had not the game been played on muddy field, 1t was freely stated by the spectators the High school boys would have won the game by two clean touch- downs or more As 1t was the game was won by neat goal from placement executed by Zielminski during the last seven minutes of play. The KICK Was skillfully made and at an extremeiy oii- f1cult angle.
 The bunting of Neville kept the oali in Alabamas territory, while High schools speedy ends in nearly every ln- stance downed in their tracks the Ala bama men who were enabled 10 cap ture the ball on such punts. Delayed line bucks comprised the chief offensive ta actc of the University boys.
 Coach Messer's reorganization of the team worked to perfection. The altered line was like stone wall to the ter rife plunges of the heavy Alabama backs and Hocombe and Morton were particu- larly good in their new positions Of right

The LaRoche and SkiG- way sections measure about three miles of winding roadway with most of the turns safe and easy. A left turn then mile on Dale avenue, and a final left turn puts the cars in the stretch about half mile from the grandstand.
 Every militiaman in Savannah has vol untcered to serve for policing the course, without pay Their record in the first grand prize when they kept the course clear by using shotted cartridges and bayonets, will be maintained even if il is again necessary to shoot
 Over the same coure on November H. the day before the big race, two light car contests will be run, one at 173 miles and the other at 25s.5 miles.

EVENTs-IT IS YALE's OFF-YEAR. HARVARD FEARS DARTMOUTH ARMY RESTS NAVY
BY W. S. FARNswoRTH

New York, November 6-It is Yale's on year in football. Both Princeton and Harvard appear to have their annual struggles with the big Blue team slashed to the mast already. They don't know what it is to quit at New Haven, how ever, and the bulldog may show up stronger in her 10 final games of the season than Is expected.
 The writer spent a day at Yale field with the Eli gridirin warriors and could not help but notice that, despite her many noted coaches and advisors. how little the candidates have grasped the situation which the new rules afford. There are two distinct reasons why Yale hasn't been successful this season One, because she has been woefully slow in getting on'' to the new rules, and secondly because the material is far below par.
 Already the hammers" are working at New Haven. Yale should have a regular coach like Harvard has in Percy Houghton. and not appoint the previous seasons captain," is one cry heard along Chapel street. Now that is joke. Ted Coy greatest of all football players, is doing just as much as any other man could do He knows the game from ton to bottom and would prove just as sue cessful a coach as he was player If he had the material to work on. He Is not at fault for the New Havenites showing. In fact, he deserves great credit for the little real football that has been displayed by the wearers of the blue.
 Since Walter Camp hurried from the Pacific coast the Yale candidates have improved in their work but there is nothing startling to report.
 The writer asked MT. Camp what he thought of the new rules now that they have been given 0 pretty thorough test. To my surprise he made weak com plaint. He said:
 Suppose a punter standing behind his own goal, kicks, and one of the backs of his own side is interfered with by an opposing player inside the 20-yard zone The rule gives the ball to the of- lending side where the penalty occurred; that is behind the goal posts; in other words counts as a touchdown. This is clearly too great penalty for what might have been accidental interfer- ence.
 "The new rules in prohibiting mass and interlocking plays have clearly les sened the number of injuries There are, however, many infringements of the new

MEMPHIS DROPS
 THE BOXING GAME

Memphis, November 6-(Special. )-After more than a year in which it is claimed that several thousands of dollars was lost trying to revive the boxing game here under favorable laws passed by the last legislature, promoters have thrown the sponge into the ring and the field is entirely abandoned for the time being at least.
 Nearly a dozen clubs were chartered under the new law the moment Governor Patterson signed the bill. All have lost money, according to their claims, and they blame the Jeffries-Johnson fight for lack of patronage. claiming that the gen. eral belief in the south was that the Reno fight was a cold-booded money making scheme and not real match. This leaves New Orleans practically in sole possession of the fight field in the south

PENSACOLA FAIR
 READY TO OPEN

Pensacola. Fla, November 6.--(Special.) The greater interstate fair, embracing ex- hibits from IA counties In west Florida and southern Alabama, will open it's gates Monday morning. It has already been shown that this will be the greatest pure ly agricultural show that has ever been held in the far south. About one-half the counties in the Pensacola district, in both states. have held good county fairs and the exhibits from these smaller fairs were brought intact to Pensacola. The displays of field crops, especially cotton, grains. hays and cane, surprised everyone Perhaps no one was greater astonished at the excellence of these products and their great variety than the Pensacola people. The live stock exhibits are also specially fine While the number of high bred cattle, hogs, poultry, sheep and goats is not so great, the specimens brought here would do credit to the west ern circuit of fairs
 All west Florida and south Alabama have been awakened to the fact that never again will they have to send north if all the grains and meats needed are mot consumed at home it will be the fault of the individual farmers.
 This important fact is the greatest lesson taught by the fair.
 Special mention should be made of the exhibits of corn. Some of the finest ears imaginable are on exhibit and the yield in many instances was as much as 150 bushels per acre.
 The attendance promises to be very large and great throngs are already pour ing into the city from all over south Ala bama and from all the western part of this state.

ROAD RECORD WILL
 BE BADLY BEATEN
cHEvROLETs RECORD OF sD.s LIKE LY TO BE SMASHED ON SAVANNAH TRACK-LoNGEsTR RACE IN AMER ICA's HISTORY

Savannah, Ga, November 6.-Eyent: Second American Grand Prize race.
 Distance: 415.2 miles.
 Length of course: 173 miles.
 Number of laps: 24
 American road record: 696 miles per hour, made by Chevrolet at Riverhead, IL. l.
 Upon a course probably the best and fastest of it's kind in this country with state militia pledged to keep it clear of all Instructions dead or alive. the sec ond American Grand Prize race will be run over the roads of this, Chatham. county on November 12
 1t will be longest road race ever run in America
 The practice of the big speed machines already indicates that the American road record of s9.6 miles made by Chevrolet at Riverhead, L. l., is in danger Better than 70 miles an hour has been cloeked on a single lap of the 173-mile course, while much higher speed has been main tained on the three long almost straight stretches which form the major portion /f the track.
 The present course Is nearly eight miles shorter than that of the 1908 race, the turns are fewer. the straight-aways long CT, and the total distance for the race about 10 miles greater. The roadway is laid out on level country, almost flat as table top and is bordered for many miles with forests festooned in gray Spanish moss. Within easy reach of every turn sharp enough to command vista in both directions physicians will be stationed, with Red Cross appliances at hand and telephone wires linking them to every portion of the speedway.
 The start and finish is on four-mile straight-aWay inside the city limits, where a grandstand with seating ca pacity Of 4D.001 has been erected. At the end of this stretch there Is left turn for half d mile, then d swing to the right into Whitfield avenue, which gently curves into Montgomery road, furnish ing about three and one-half miles sprinkled with easy curves. Two left turns within a mile then lead into one of the finest speed stretches in the conn try. almost five miles broken by one scarcely appreciable curve This stretch is drilled through virgin forest, so wide that four racers can hum along abreast.
 Next comes LaRoche avenue. winding

Chicago. November 6.-The great Amer ican sporting public have, during the past few days, waded through plethora or expert opinion, explaining away the whereof of the thusness anent the recent walloping of the Cubs by Connie Mack s pachyderms all of which has, in it's way, been extremely interesting. There fore far be it from "muh'' to inflict upon your sensitive frame the doleful dirge- even though it is quite apropos here in Chicago
 "Of all sad tales of tongue or pen,
 Are these, 1t might have been"
 In a word, however, the requiem is an eloquent tribute to that unwavering though fckle barometer, the bettingangle. Tnasmuch as the writer made the off, cial prices-those accepted on the bourse on the series. and is in position to know that the unprecedented amount of three-ouarters of million dollars changed hands on the series, it appeals to me as the foundation of a story"
 That the facing was unexpected was well attested by the early betting on the series. Prior to the opening game at Philadelphia, betting was so abnormal that even had word been passed that the series was a 'frame-up'' for the Cubs to win, it could not have been more un- settled. Two to one on the opening game was freely offered on the Cubs, while on the series 1t was a case of write your own ticket Right here it might be mentioned that had the situa- tion been reversed-with the Chicagoans' well known penchant for having bet down-the clean up would have been even more monumental. As it was, the cold deductors, men of close utilization with the world of speculation, took ad- vantage of prices which were palpably out of line, figuring that at such prices it was "a good bet if you lose and dumped the proverbial ton of money on the local bourse-the great clearing house-which, in the eleventh hour, prior to the word of the umpire to play ball, drove the quotations down, down, down. until even money was the prevailing quotations
 After the ticker had told the tale of tho invincibie Bender. the Cub fans only shrugged their shoulders, disclaiming de- feat with the ever ready alibi, 1t was a fluke." That they believed t, is borne out by the fact that they bet their money not on the series. but on each day s game. with the result that there never was time in sporting annals when the fans were so clean as at the pres ont moment This is better illustrated when 1t is stated that men, in every walk of life-the butcher, the baker ana the candlestick-m who had never been known to have a bet down. were tbere with the healthy plunge. The re- s,lt as previously indicated was the crushing out of many hopes for Christ mas presents, while in many instances abiect want lies in the wake of the worlds series, ,.
 One of the strange incongruities of the betting on this series was that sem timent played an infinitesimally small
