BY REUBEN A LEWIS.

The Birmingham followers of football
will be presented five gridiron battles of
commanding interest. The leading teams
of the south will clash on Redwood
Field against the two Alabama teams
With the Auburn Vanderbilt struggle as
the premier attraction, Sewanee, Missis-
sippi A. and NJ. University of Georgia
and the University of Tennessee machines
will be seen in action.
The first conflict will be waged on Oc-
tober Is with the University of Georgia
squad opposing the University of Ala
bama. Georgia will not be as strong as in
ably present a formidable battling ar
ray. The game will be fiercely fought,
and Coach Graves cohorts may upset the
DOPE
The following Saturday Auburn's mighty
machine will make its deput in Birming-
ham. Mississippi A. and NJ minus
'Blondie'' Williams, will clash with Dona
hue's men. Both teams have been i'm
paired by the loss of star material. and a
bitter battle should ensue.
A slight Interval will follow gridiron
activities after October %, but Sewanee
will battle at Rickwood on November
with Alabama. Sewanee and Alabama
have played intensely close games during
the past two years, and unless either
shows decided improvement the two
elevens will play at even odds.
Vanderbilt Prepares for Auburn
The energies of Auburn and Vanderbilt
will be centered upon the clash in Bir-
mingham on November 10. Humbled by
the draw with the Alabamians last year.
Vanderbilt has forsaken an eastern en-
gagement with Harvard or Yale in an ef-
fort to conserve stamina for the fight with
Auburn. The henchmen of Donahue are
determined to trounce the mighty Wander
bilt squad, and will be prepared for the
gruelling struggle.
The conflict at Rickwood will probably
settle the title of the south, as Georgia
is not as threatening as in 1872. Georgia
Tech is expected to present bold front,
while Alabama may spring a surprise in
the pigskin world.
A fitting climax will be reached on
Thanksgiving, when Alabama closes the
season with a struggle with Tennessee.
The University of Tennessee team ex-
poets to have it's greatest year with the
return of practically the entire squad of
veterans. Coach Clevenger is enthused
over. prospects.
Besides these five major engagements
the secondary schools will stage several
struggles on Birmingham fields. Howard
and Birmingham college will have the
usual games, while the High school, Ma
rion, the Preds and others are expected
to meet in Birmingham
As the result of the few changes in
rules and the prospect of sensational play
on the fields gridiron enthusiasm should
run high.

Five Big Battles For Birmingham
PROSPECTS ROSY FOR GOOD

Thryfive Candidates Report for PracticeNearly All Old

Up Splenddly

After three days practice and with 35
candidates on the field it is the consensus
OF opinion that Auburn has as good look
ing team as the institution has had In
some time On account of the heat the
players are all in gymnasium suits and
the work is very light so that there is
no telling how the new ones will show
up when the real test comes, but there is
certainly some likely looking material
That more football is seing played
amongst the preparatory schools of the
state is very evident by the number of
new candidates that have had some ex-
perience and it looks as if one or two
OF them might perforr-i the unusual stunt
Of making the team the first year.
The members of last years varsity
squad and scrubs are with few exceptions
all back and are showing a vim and a
desire for work that is very encouraging.
kearly of last years regulars and Wynne
of the scrubs are still absent, hut they
are expected in by the first of the week
and hard work will begin at once.
Pitts Likely to Return
For the position left vacant by Burns,
the most likely candidate is Essuger. He
Is one of that family that has done great
deal for Auburn football He is in better
condition and heavier than he has ever
been and has had experience enough to
be dependable. 1t is also rumored that
Pitts failed to pass the physical examina-
tion for Annapolis on account of his eyes
though he passed one of the best mental
examinations in the history OF the acad-
emy. If this is so he will likely be back at
Auburn so that the center of the line will

HARD

Entertaining an idea that they could
gain a decision over the mighty Barons
the Edgewater team champions of the
Tennessee Coal and Iron company league
fell easy victims to the powerful slants
of young Frank Gregory, who essayed
the mound duties for the faithful Baron
henchmen.
The final score of the fracas after nine
lcng innings of battle had been staged
was 10 to with Captain Ellam and his
cohorts hanging onto the big end Up
until the ninth inning the youthful anna
teurs were unable to approach anywhere
near the plate and they would have re-
manned unacquainted with the platter had
It not been for the generosity or the
mighty, but humane Barons. In this ses-
sion two counters were pushed over the
plate on bingle and a walk combined
with the earnest efforts of the Barons to
have them to score.
Cantley Proved Easy
Cantley was on the hill for the van
guished and his offerings was with one
or two exceptions hit almost at will by
the Baron sluggers. 4 total of II bingles
was garnered off his delivery and among
these were a circuit clout triple and
several two baggers. Gregory yielded only
four scratch hits in seven innings while
Pete Knisely, who occupied the mound
during the last two innings, gave up TWO
measly bingles.
The four bagger was secured by big
Pete Kniseiy, who besides cavorting in
center twirled the last two innings. The
Teuton accomplished this feat in the
fifth inning when, with Mcdonald perched
on first he leaned up against one of
Cantley's fast balls and poled it on a line
almost to the left field fence. Besides
Yielding brilliantly Pedro secured five
bingles in as many trips to the plate and
contributed three Of the Barons' runs

JUNEAU BUSINESS
 MAN BOOSTS CITY

Juneau has the brightest future of any city in the North" said w. Free man, a business man of that city, who is at the Arlington. There is no doubt that it is the greatest gold producing district in the world, as statistics will show Three separate mining compan- ies operating the Alaska Juneau mine, the Alaska Treadwell mine, and the Alaska Gastineau mine are expending thousands of dollars in driving tun- nels, installing the latest devices in mining machinery and generally i'm proving their plants. The owners of the Gastineau mine are have a long tunnel made from the basin to Sheep creek. The same people have one of the largest stamp mills in the world. Improvements on this property, when completed, will reach close to the three million mark The Gastineau people had a pay roll of $1O5,OOO for August, while the pay rolls of other companies amounted to nearly $10O,OOO. The Gas tineau company is building a dam on Salmon creek 16S feet high to produce power for the mine.-Seattle Post-In- telligencer.

COUNCIL ORDERS
 WALKS IMPROVED

At the regular meeting of the city council held last night from the ad- jOurned meeting of Friday night, the regular date of meeting, a great deal of interest was manifested in the mat ter of improving the sidewalks At tention to the need of repairs was called in some instances by petition and in others by report of members of the council. The following portions of streets were ordered to have walks repaired or built as occasion requires:
 Lower Main street from Front street to the Caro- building near the Orpheum theatre; Main street between Second and Third; Sixth between Gold and Harris; Harris between Fifth and Sixth; Franklin from half way be- tween Fourth and Fifth to Sixth.
 Stairways were also ordered built on Fourth between Harris and Kenne- dy and from Front street to Gastineau avenue in the Pacific Coast addition.
 The Harris street sewer was ordered extended from Seventh to Ninth.
 The matter of laying a sidewalk on the Basin road between Eighth and Ninth was put over until next meet ing.

EdgertOn Says $7,5OO,OOO
 Would Provide Road System

VALDEZ, Sept. 23. - Lieut. Glenn Edgerton, engineer officer of the Al aska board of road commissioners, says that for $7,25O.OOO wagon and au- tOmObile roads could be built in all sections of Alaska in nine years time that would provide excellent thorough fares for mail and commerce, and be feeders for a railroad service in the Territory This would mean an apprO- priation of something less than ST., O0O,O0O a year from Congress.
 In his estimate Lieut.. EdgertOn provides for an automobile road from Valdez to Fairbanks, and a road to the new Chisana district as well as means of communication for the Idit- arOd. Ruby. InnOko and other sections of the Territory, in addition to a Sc ries of local roads leading into all the centers of population in all sections of the Territory.
 If this sum were available, he says, permanent roads and bridges could be built that could easily be main tained by local taxation that would not be burdensome.

JUNEAU MEN TURN
 BIG PLACER DEAL
O-O-

Very recently deal was closed by Senator l.. V. Ray. of Seward, and President B. l.. Thane of the Alaska Gastineau Mining company, involving one of the largest placer mining prop OsitiOns in Alaska. The tract of ground embraced in the deal is in the Kenai river valley and covers an extent of territory from the lower end of Ke- mai lake to Skilak lake, a distance of twenty miles, with the pay gravel or pay streak ranging from a width of three or four miles in some places to twelve miles in others.
 The options are all contingent upon the values to be shown by the pros pecting that is to follow immediately
 Senator H. T. Tripp, representing the Thane interests is now on the ground and will be in charge of the prospecting If the results are satis- factory it is planned to install five of the largest gold dredges in the world on the Kenai next summer It is ex- pected that the work of prospecting the ground will alone involve the ex- penditure of $25O,OOO and will furnish employment for a hundred men for two years.

AGRICULTURAL STATIONS
 GETTING GOOD RESULTS
O-O--

Prof. c. c. Georgeson, head of the agricultural experiment stations in Al aska, left for the States on the Jeffer- son yesterday. Prof. Georgeson recent ly completed a tour of all the stations in Alaska and reports all of them in thriving condition. The stations are all making wonderful progress accord ing to Prof. Georgeson. The work ac- complished already shows that there are great possibilities in an agricultu- ral way for a large portion of the lands of the Territory. The Panama valley will be a great producer of wealth after the mining industry has ceased to be so important The sta tion at that point is getting splendid results.

JOHNSON CASE IS
 NOW NEARING END

A pretty tilt came up in the John son case yesterday afternoon over the admission of certain testimony in the form of a deposition offered by the gov ernment. The deposition was secured at the instance of the defense, but not offered as evidence, whereupon the prosecution attempted to offer it in ev- idence for the government.
 Attorneys Gunnison and Robertson raised the point that a defendant can not waive his constitutional right to be confronted by a witness" The case was argued in the district court last night and Judge R. w. Jennings gave a decision on the matter this morning.
 Judge Jennings sustained the defense and denied the government the right of introducing the deposition.
 The government closed it's case shortly after ? o'clock this afternoon and the defense commenced introduc- ing evidence.
