CHAMPIONSHIP
WILL BE HELD THIS AFTERNOON
FREE TO THE PUBLIC-GIL-
BERT RICHIE WILL DEFEND
TITLE
BY ASA RouNTREE, JR.

The fourth annual all-round champion
ship meet of the Southern Amateur Ath-
letic union will be held this afternoon at
East park, under the auspices of the
Birmingham Athletic club.
Although the officials of the Athletic
club have made strenuous efforts to Sc
cure a large number of southern athletes
to compete in the meet this afternoon,
their efforts were without success and as
result only one out of town athlete,
J. II. Moore of Vanderbilt will make an
attempt to wrest the southern title from
Gilbert Richie, the present champion.
The men who will compete this after
noon are Biscom Seals, Tom MCGOWAN
and Gilbert Richie, the present title hold
er of the Birmingham Athletic club. and
]. II. Moore of Vanderbilt.
Entry blanks were sent to practically
every college, university, athletic club
and Young Mems Christian association in
the south, but none met with response.
The Athletic club management was es-
pecially anxious to have a large number
of collegians entered as various colleges
have made the assertion that they had
men who could beat Richie. In fact two
years ago, when Richie first won the
southern title, several athletic directors
of southern colleges wrote to the sporting
editors of various local papers stating
that they had men who were better than
Richie and although these colleges have
been invited by the Athletic club to make
good their claims they have not as yet

Michigan Not Quite So Radical.

These are not successful days for
the cause of equal suffrage. Quietly
laid aside by the General Court of
Massachusetts, it experienced similar
treatment i'll the Legislature of Iowa.
In Pennsylvania, where the Progrcs-
sivc strength is great and growing, it
was refused a final vote on the ques-
ton.
But it was the unfavorable vote in
Michigan that dashed the hopes of the
suffragists more than all else The
result of the November election had
led them to expect a victory at the
special election authorized to test the
sentiment The recession from last au-
tumn'S rising tide of radicalism is now
apparent-at least for the time being.
Yet those behind the movement will
hardly permit themselves to be dis
couraged by what they regard as only
a temporary setback
Other issues As radical as equal suf-
frage were presented to- the people of
Michigan on this special occasion,
which seem to have found favor with
the voterS-the initiative, referendum,
and recall. Furthermore, Detroit ap-
proved OF municipal ownership, though
it was necessary to secure three-ffths
of the votes cast to accomplish this.
The local option contest showed the
usual favorable result, but whatever
the changes, there are scores of COM
munitieS that must conform-there as
elsewhere-to the party mandate, re-
gardless of their own interests or per-
sonal wishes.
