Things are moving out at Birmingham college. Coach Henry has his men hard at work, for the varsity must meet the Alabama bunch at Tuscaloosa on Satur- day. and the scrubs are to see after the High school on Friday. Both these teams will have to look to their laurels on these days.
 Vandy says: Do not be afraid, for if ycu can shut us out in the third quarter you can bottle up Alabama and they have some reason for saying this. because Birmingham college held the Vanderbilt giants for downs on the five yard line.
 Jackson and Davenport are back, and began practicing this week, and it looks gcod to see them back in uniform. Every man is doing his best to strengthen the team, and football is becoming of great interest at Birmingham college. The scrubs are out for some plays to use against the Highs Friday, and they say that something will be doing in the camps

OLD ELI COACHES
 ARE IN TROUBLE

New Haven, Conn, October S.-The work of the Yale football squad thus far has convinced the coaches that the teams weak point this year is likely to be in a. failure to make the most of the open style Of playing. Already the team has failed lamentably in repeated attempts to gain ground by the use of the forward pass
 While the natural thing for Yale to do might be to abandon the attempt at an open game, which never has proved of great value here. the coaches, instead have determined to go ahead, and try to develop the new football to the fullest extent.

Ancient Geography

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 In the editorial of this morning s issue, "Italy in Tripoli,' you state that "in the neighborhood of the ruins or Troy and Carthage stands the city of Tripoli." In this statement your geog- raphy is slightly at fault. The story of Troy is mostly legendary, but its lo- cation is well authenticated as being an Asiatic city, founded by branch or the Greek people on the eastern coast of the Eagean sea and not far from the Dardanelles, spoken of in the ar ticle, but perhaps 1900 or 1900 miles from Tripoli, by present water route of travel
 Carthage, also founded by branch of the Greeks-Phoenecians To- cated near the present city of Tunis. and 300 to 400 miles northwest of Tripol. Yours very truly.

No PersimmOn Street

Through special act of the city com mission, the unromantic name "Persim- mon'' has been. taken away from street race and changed to Clifton street The commission at first declined to change the streets name until, the entire situation had been gone oyer for the purpose of deciding upon some arrangement of the South Highlands street scheme to the end that less confusion would be caused in an effort to locate streets there.
 Commissioner Weatherly and the com missioners as a whole are inclined to believe that some changes must be made for convenience. However, for the time being "Persimmon" street is officially unknown in Birmingham.

Signs of Greatness

To the Editor of The Age-Herad:
 Each succeeding generation has it's vil- lage of falling waters. In my native village, like that of Rip Van Wrinkle, most of the people are gone, and l find my self hunting old time friends. Man and beast have the same breath, and all go the same way. What is natural life? None but its Creator knows it's mystery. and the completeness and fullness of it's destiny. No part of creation will perish- man, beast, the ostrich and the peacock with their beautiful plumage, and the humming bird, and the rosebud it sucks will aid in giving life to the process of perpetual existence.

autumn forest and the resurrection or the frasrant springtime we see the gong and the coming of the things we call lie and death.

 kindness of miser. There are many good and generous people; we have them here in our midst. both men and womeh' Church and charity have felt the touch of their pursestrings in their benificent gifts, in their liberality of memory ana love. and the sweetness of music and song has and will refresh and bring pleas ure and comfort to many who are Dur dened with cares and age.
 Let us ail be charitable and liberal one to another. In these we find the real es- sence and good of life.

AWAITING JAIL SENTENCE

New York, June 10.-William H.
McNutt goes to Sing Sing prison to-
day to serve a two-and-a-half year
sentence a rich man, and he got rich
while he was waiting to go to Jail.
McNutt is fifty-six years old and the
inventor of a non-exploslve gasoline
tank. Six years ago he was arrested
on the charge of selling worthless
mining stocks, and was convicted,
but succeeded in getting a stay from
time to time, until recently the ST.
preme court of New York state decid-
ed that prison was the place he ought
to go to During the time of his va
rious stays McNutt busted himself in
venting the non-explosive gasoline
tank which has been used extensive
ly in the automobile and allied indus
tries. Since his arrest six years ago
he had made a fortune from his in
vention, but he goes to Jail today and
nothing but the best possible behavior
will keep him from serving the full
two and half years of the sentence.

LOCAL HORSEMEN MAY ORGANIZE
RIDING AND DRIVING CLUB

A riding and driving club is the lat
est organization being projected by
local people and a meeting will be
held Monday night to determine the
sentiment of those interested in hors-
es. If such a club is formed, the
track at Roundup Park will be turn
ed over TO it for the summer and ma
tinees will be held every two weeks.
The attempt to organize riding
and driving club is the result of a
problem which has been confronting
the Roundup officials for some time,
namely, how to keep up the track
during the summer. So many riders
and drivers have been using the track
lately that the association began to
consider closing the gates and barr
ing out all people in order to preserve
the track for the wild west show, for
the wheels of the vehicles and the
horses tend to loosen the dirt on the
track so that every wind storm con-
siderable amount of the surface Is
1 blown away. With proper caretak'
ing this could be prevented but the

thousand "Denzelritter" are in Pitts
burg today to compete for the $50
prizes which will be distributed dur
ing the National Skat congress. Spe-
cial trains brought many skat players
from Milwaukee, Chicago and Phila-
delphia and large delegations also
arrived today from New York, Cleve-
land, Buffalo, Detroit and other cit
les.
This morning was devoted to the
reception of the visitors, and a meet
ing of delegates was held this after
noon. The tournament proper begins
tomorrow and will be continued on
Monday. The distribution of prizes
will take place Monday evening. 1t
is probable that the 1912 national
skat tournament will be awarded to
Chicago, although Baltimore and
other cities have entered the lists
against the Windy City.

Roundup association does not feel
able to assume the expenses.
Loath to see the track closed Frank
Frazier, the we'll known horseman,
and Lawrence Frazier, manager of
the grounds, conceived the idea of a
riding and driving club and believe
that the idea will meet with general
favor They declare that a member
ship of fifty will, with small month
ly dues. be sufficient to keep the
track in good condition, for they fig
ure that an outlay of SIS a month
will be all necessary. They would
hold mantinees every two weeks dur
ing the summer with riding and driv-
ing races to which a small admit
tance would be charged all except
members. Inasmuch as the owners
of horses would have the advantage
of a good track for training, some
good races would result.
The meeting will be held in the city
hall Monday night and all interested
in the project are requested to be
present
