PROHIBITION FORCES
 ID MEET HERE OCT.|7
Committee Will Decide on Legislative Plan of Action
 When SOlOns Meet

The political prohibitionists of Ala bama, having scored failure in the recent senatorial contest in Alabama, are making ready to repair their politi- cal fences. Unofficially. they have all ready considered several programmes, one of which was to prepare a bill and run it over the present governor prior to his retirement from office. This and other programmes have been discarded as foolhardy. and it has been deemed expedient for the political committee, known as the headquarters committee, to get together
 This meeting will be held in Bir- mingham October IT, and the Rev. Brooks Lawrence will preside. It is said that at the meeting a programme for the prohibition element of the leg islature will be mapped out.
 To combat the plans of the prohibi- tionists. the local optionists will hold no meeting. The fight, according to their viewpoint is cut and dried The members of the legislature have been elected. The prohibitionists claim that they have majority. Despite that claim, the local optionists are appar- ently without worry.
 It is said that the headquarters com mittee in it's session will name com mittee to take charge of the legisla- |tive programme.

A. HASSEIN BEY
 CHARGE D'AFFAIRES

Washington, october s-A. Hassein Bey, formerly first secretary of the i'm perlal Ottoman embassy, has been made charge d'affaires in the absence Of Am passador A. Rustem Bey. who left New York for Turkey yesterday Although the ambassador left Washington because of friction with the state department over statements issued by the diplomat to the press, 1t is said he will resume his post on hls return from his leave of absence.
 The fact that the Turkish envoy planned his departure sometime before the incident with the state department. ana that close relations exist between em- passy officials and officers of ship building company, is construed by off cials here to mean that Rustem Bey is directing a campaign for greater Turk ish navy. The ambassador protested against the sale of two American battle- ships at Greece. and stated at that time that no matter what efforts to increa SC her navy Greece might make, Turkey would outstrip her.

 THE CRIMSON LINEUP
Ky ASA RoUNTREE. JR.

University, October S.-(Special) ) Following the miserable showing of the varsity eleven in the game with HowarA on saturday, Coach Graves of the Crimson squad has put his men down to grinding and drastic meas ures will be employed to strengthen the lineup unless some improvement is shown shortly. The charging of the Crimson line as whole was sadly off color and the Baptists were allowed again and again to sift through the line and down men for losses.
 Graves is really driving the Crimson players for the first time this fall in an effort to get them into shape fo> the Georgia Tech game which is less than two weeks off.
 Hitherto the varsity has not been forced to work with the dummy much, but now Coach Graves has started them to this tedious work in earnest.
 He has told them in plain words that an improvement must be shown shortly or there will be general shake-up in the squad. The training table will undergo several changes shortly. Graves was thoroughly dis

FANS EAGERLY A WAIT CLASH OF ATHLETICS AND BRAVES AT
 SHIBE PARK THIS AFTERNOON
Worlds Fans In Philadelphia Will Come In Large Numbers Stalngs Battle With the
 

ncuncement by the committee in charge. The song was first auopted curing tho worlds series of 1903 between Pittsburg and the Boston Americans. Shouted from hundreds of throats in the games at Boston and at Pittsburg the strains of "Tessie'' upset the Pirate players, they afterwards declared and Boston won the series after being three games behiud. Again in 1904, the rooters rallied to the support Of home team and sang Boston to victory in the last game of the Amer iean league season at New York. Two years ago the Royal Rooters' travelled from Boston to New York and from New York to Boston, "Tessie" always on their lips, following the Red Sox in their Won derful series with the Giants.
 The songsters from New England will have to swell strong on the chorus, for every seat in the grandstand and bleach- ere has been sold. A big majority of the 2o- odd thousand spectators will be Attn letic ad1erents, and while they may have no organized cheer or battle song. the Braves win know that the kkaclkmen, on their home grounds, are backed by a vo- ca. tornado that is extremely disconcert- ing to baseball players who seek to drag them from their championship throne. E This support is not entirely devoted tc cheering and applause, for the Ath- letics' cohorts are willing and eager to wager on the chances that the Amerlcan league club will defeat the Boston rep rcsentatives of the senior organization. The Braves great exhibition of ability and gameness, however, has made an inn pressioH and while odds are quoted on the Athletics the range is comparatively small. The leading odds are five to four on the local club to win the series. Occa sonaliy enthusiastic fans are found who have offered or given five to three or even two to one, but there is nothing in the work or strength of the two clubs to warrant odds approaching to two to. one.
 As the teams will probably lineup to- morrow the combinations appear to be evenly matched in offensive and defensive strength. Where one club has an advan- tage in one department this is offset hy weakness in another, the result being that when the general average is struck

gusted with the way his team tackl led Howard and he is taking measures now that will insure no repetition of this in the succeeding games.
 After much dickering the Alabama mana cement has secured a game with Birmingham college for Saturday next. This will be the final game before the Teen struggle and the varsity will have a chance to redeem itself. Either Wednesday or Thursday the varsity will play regular game with the freshman eleven and Coach Graves has threatened to allow the new-com- CTS to play at least half of the game should they battle the first eleven to anything like a standstill.
 Assistant Coach Alexander of Geor- gia Tech witnessed the game between Alabama and Howard in order to get d line on the Crimson lineup, but 1t Is thought he got little satisfaction from his visit
 AS a result of his visit, however, II is likely that the freshman eleven will make trip to Atlanta sometime next month to play the Tech freshman.
 The Marion football team was also at the university Saturday en route home from Starlxville and Coach Van degraaff of the freshmen made prelimi nary arrangements for game during the next few weeks.

Philadelphia, October S.-rhe stage is set and players and fans alike await the morrow and the weatscr mans sig nal to roll back the curtain, revealing the Philadelphia Athletics and the Bos- ton Braves in the worlds series drama of 1914 The winners of the American and National league pennants, with a week of relaxation following the clinch- ing of the flags, are ready for the final struggle of the season Each team pro- fesses reasonable confidence in its abil- ity to capture the worlds champion ship.

the luck of the game is likely to be a deciding factor and as Frank Chance once remarked: "A worlds series Is toe short for both clubs to get an even break in the luck" In battery material tue Athletics appear to have greater strength in their second string of pitch- CTS and the confidence that comess to twirlers and catchers who are no longer stranger to the strain of a worlds se- ries. Both from batting and field ing standpoint the averages show that Boston's infield does not quite reach the strength of the Athletics. The out field combinations are moro evenly matched The Braves are heavier hit ters and field and throw equally as well as the present worlds champions.
 Much will depend upon the manner in which the teams are handled by their managerial forces and in this respect the battle of wits and tactics between Mack and Stallinss, aided by their lieuten- ants on field and bench. may be the pivot upon which victory or defeat will swing.
 Both have shown remarkable ability in the developing and handling of players. although their methods are radically diff ferent. When the teams take the fIefu tomorrow Mack will sit quietly in the 9ugout saying little. signalling some, yet running his machine with a steady but invisible hand. Across the turf Stall inGs, keyed to a high pitch of excite mont and enthusiasm, will direct every move of his team, laboring with an in- tcnsity of purpose that leaves him as soaked and exhausted as the hardest worked player of the club.
 While neither Stallings nor Mack has announced the order in which the Braves and Athletics will go into the game the batting order is expected to be about as follows:
 Boston Moran, If; E,vers. 2b. Con- nolly, cf.; Schmidt. 1b; Deal, 3b. Ma ranville ss.; Gowdy, C.; James. or Ru- doiph D.
 Athletics-M Murphy. If; oldring, lf,; Collins, 2b.: Baker, sb.; McIn- his. 1b.; Strunk. cf; Barry, ss.; Schang C.; Bender or Plank. D.
