dreamed of. The game will begin to look easy and shots will present them selves that were not deemed possible to execute before the player mastered the correct way of holding the cue
 When one has learned to make a proper bridge and to gain that freedom of move ment which comes with the added knowl- edge of how to hold the cue gently the stroke will follow as a matter of course
 In practically every shot, draw and fol- low alike, the cue must follow through the object ball from four to six inches If this doesn't seem possible in making draw shot just try it and you will be surprised. If you have been having trou- ble, jabbing al the cue ball in your anx- iety to get the stick out of the way, try letting the cue follow through the lower half or the ball, exactly as you follow through the upper half in making a fol- low shot. The cue ball will come back as though there was a string attached to it. Of course the draw and follow shots in their variety are the backbone of the balklne or straight rail players game. Without them one cannot hope to make runs" Without them the balls soon get scattered and the play becomes more difficult, with them it is possible to nurse and get results

Fhomas Bragg. athletic manager of All krn, has made public the telegraphic
 h'espondence between the managers of Hnderbilt and Sewanee and himself re- krding football games with those insti- |tfons. Both decline to meet Auburn iu Birmingham but insist that the games |all be played in Tennessee
 Auburn points out that the telegrams

 MT. Bragg states that Auburn rests her kse on these telegrams and is willing to k judged by the public on the stand she hH taken.

The method I posed for to show the in- correct styles, as explained above, is the one style one sees most often when poorer players are trying to execute a shot and cannot understand why the cue ball does not do their bidding.
 For an ordinary shot one needs only to grasp the cue with the thumb and first finger, the remaining fingers acting only as sort of guide. If the heel of the hand is allowed to come in contact with the cue the movement not only becomes cramped and unnatural, but the cue Is made to slip and swing with the stroke, and the cue ball not only loses it's acSon, but Is often made to take an unnatural course.
 In the illustration above are pictured the two methods I use most often in uti- lizing the cue hand Where delcacy is required I grasp the cue as lightly as a watchmaker does feather in cleaning 8 watch. For more powedrful drives I vary this by bringing the remaining fingers trifle closer to the cue. But at no time do ever twine them about the stick. One may have little trouble mas tering these details at first, but a weeks practice the right way will open up pos abilities to the beginner that he never

SMALL AUDIENCE
 ATTENDS CONCERT

The Birmingham Choral society, Adolf Dahm-Petersen musical director, gave its first concert last night at the ,Jef- ferson theatre. The programme opened with double number for male chorus Lord, Whom My Heart Holds Dear. {" by Hitler, and "The Soldiers Morning Song Next came double number for female chorus-Godard's second mazurka and Foote's I'm Wearing Ava Jean ,, The third was Grieg's beautiful ''Autum- inal Storm,' sung by chorus of mixed voices.
 Miss Abigail Crawford a young pianist, played the Allegro movement from Schumann's concerto, opus 54, MT. Dabm- Petersen at the second piano. yon Fielitz's "Eliland" song cycle, interpreted by the musical director, followed. Tho programme closed with Brahms Love Song Waltzs," opus 52, sung by the Choral society.
 The chorus was small, consisting of only S2-20 ladies and 12 men. Some of it's work was well done, notably certain of the Brahms song waltzs. But the eroup was too long for one performance The waltz rhymth, so pleasing, generally speaking, becomes tiresome when there is an excess. There were IS of these songs, when half that number, it was felt, would have been just about long enough. The seventeenth song, solo, was delivered by J. D. McGin, who has q sweet tenor voice. He received much applause and was forced to repeat his song.
 most interesting feature of the con- cert was Miss Crawford's playing. This lady has handsome stage presence, and her technique was singularly clean and firm If she lacked emotion her style throughout was brilliant, and she made fine impression on those who heard her.
 The audience last night was very small.

Opportunity's Mistake

From LeSne s.
 By taking his mothers advice and not poining John Brown in his raid on Harper's Ferry, Luke F. Parsons saved himself from a hangman's rope and to- day has the honor of being the sole survivor of the most memorable bat tie of early-day Missouri-Kansas bor- der war-the battle of Osawatomie. In April. 1858, he left his hcme in north ern Illinois, and six weeks latet he landed from a Missouri river steamboar where Kansas City is now situated Soon afterward he joined John Browns small army and became the old Cove nanter's closest friend and adviser. After the battle of Osawatomie. which occurred August 30, 1856, Brown in formed Parsons of his proposed raid on Harper's Ferry. But Parsons mother advised him to take up claim and set tie in Kansas. This he did, and for the last 55 years he has ben resident of Salina and Saline county, Kansas. He is one of the wealthy and influential men of the community today.
