SIum Districts

"The present city of Birmingham Is very peculiarly arranged" said sup- urbanite yesterday. Many peopie may not notice 1t but 1t Is a visible fact that the central business district is
 completely cut off from any of the 1irst class residential districts by sium dis- trict. In other words, the main busi-
 ness section of the city Is completely |surrounded by a circle of railroad yards, negro shacks, undeveloped property and undesirable neighborhoods. South High lands, by means of South Twentieth street, is probably the least affected of any of the residential communities, and yet some parts of South Twentieth street, between Morris avenue and the hill, are dangerous places to be strolling about late at night, while in the day time it comes far from presenting the appearance of a first class, modern bus mess or resident street.
 Leave the business section and go any other direction and one must pass through from two or three to half dozen blocks of tumbledown negro houses and questionable places of many sorts. A scant acquaintance with police circles reveals also that much of the petty crime of the city, such as pocket book snatching, holdups, etc, occur in these very places.
 Another bad feature Is that visitors to Birmingham in sightseeing over the city must be taken through many of these places in order to get from the | ct1 1a,, for a and from one to another of the latter. This Is always liable to leave bad im- pressions, but the guest can sometimes be appeased by telling him that he Is being treated fairly by being shown the bad as well as the good points of the city"

| Whitaker were tied for first place at the
| conclusion of the Southern Chess Asso-
| citation tournament, held last February.
| and that Mr.. Whitaker won the play-off.
| q three-game match. These games will
be of unusual interest In view OF Mr..
| Whitaker's claim to the District cham
| pionship. as Mr.. Liebenstein is a player
of recognized ability. with a long and brill
| liant record against the foremost experts
| of theseast.
1t is to be hoped that this match will be
/ followed by many others. both with out
of-town players and between local stars.
| No form of chess contest Is so interesting
| to the general chess public as match play,
| and no class of chess is so productive OF
high-class games. Arrangements are un-
der way for a match between Mr. Whit
| aker and another strong out-of-town
player, whose name we are not at lib
erty to divulge at this time. If these ne
gotiations are successful. play will take
place some time during this week.
New York seems TO be having an epi-
demic of chess matches. none OF which
have been very thrilling affairs except the
| fine victories of \. kupchik over IL. Kline
and A. Marder, champion of the Rice
| Chess Club. This young player. he is
scarcely more than boy, is as promising
as politician before election. and the
next few years should see him full
