 As Weapons

Nashville, September 12.-Unpopular de- cisions and removal of Kircher from the coaching line here today brought on d disturbance that caused Umpire Pfen- ninger to forfeit the second game of a scheduled double header to the Chatta- nooga club to 0. Chattanooga won the first game to o, giving the visitors their sixth consecutive game without a run being scored against them.
 A shower of pop bottles greeted Umpire Pfenninger's refusal to be moved by the protests of Manager Schwartz that Kircher be allowed to coach and the field was literally covered with mis- siles. For 10 minutes the rioting en- sued and portion of the crowd swarmed on to the field, being finally dispersed by an officer.

When the game was forfeited the crowd surged to the field again, threatening Man ager Elberfeld, who had engaged in a continuous argument with the bleach CTS, but he was surrounded by his own and Nashville players, who started to escort him from the field. The visiting manager broke away from his pro- tectors and vaulted into the grand stand, being struck on the head with a bottle while climbing over the box rail. He wrenched the missile from his assailant's hands and attempted to hurl 1t into the crowd but was restrained. Ecores.

New Coach Likes City Fine. Is Anxious to Get to Work, Speed, Pluck and Work
 His WatchwOrds

 One day in town has convinced E. A. Pritchard, the newly selected instruc- tor of physical training for the public schools, that Birmingham is great city. The new instructor arrived in the city Saturday night from Chicago, and immediately began to look things over.
 When seen yesterday afternoon Coach Pritchard was enthusiastic over the prospects of the Central High school football team for the coming year. In fact football was all the Chioagoan could talk, as football is his "specialty, as he sees it. He played three years on the varsity of Illinois, and two years on the Springfield Training college team. At Illinois he earned a national years of coaching football teams and has had unusual success. Basketball also falls under the Chicagoan's scope. but the gridiron takes all of his at- tention at this time of the year when the football bee is buzzing in the ear of every football bug.
 After talking with few of the stu dents and professors of the Central High school, feel certain that I will like Birmingham as good as my home town" said MT. Pritchard, "and am sure that l will receive the co-opera- tion of the whole student body in my efforts to land winning varsity eleven for Central High during the coming season.
 Since l claim football as my spe- cialty, and because the season is at hand. feel that it would be best to give my plans on 1t. Speed is the thing that my men must possess Of course, weight counts lot, but if man has speed and pluck that's all he needs to become a good gridiron performer.
