SOCCER BATTLEAT
 R|CKWOOD TODAY
Pratt City and Ensley Meet in Semi Final Game of the
 Elimination Series

The semi final game of the elimina- tion series for the Ramsay cup will be played this afternoon at Redwood be- tween Pratt City and Ensley, both strong teams. The game will start at S:30 o'clock. Dave Woods will referee the battle.
 The game will be close for two chief reasons. The first one and best one is that the two teams are evenly matched. Both teams were strengthened shortly before the start of the series. The rival managers have been giving their teams hard practice for the game and an- nounce as ready for the referee S whistle to start the game
 The second reason is that the winner will meet Vivian for the championship and consequently become the owner of the Ramsay cup for one year. This game will be played next Saturday
 The game this afternoon should be one of the best of the series excepting none. A large crowd is expected to witness the game.
 The teams will line up as follows: Pratt City-Paxton, goal keeper; Dun ; lap and Shoulin, fullbacks; Howard Cretney and Thornton, halfbacks Holmes, Barbour, Levy, Porter and Saunders, forwards.

FOL WELL OFFERS ID
 PUT PENN ON TOP
Will Be Big Boss in Grid
 iron Affairs

Philadelphia, February 3.-The an- nouncement that Folwell had been finally selected as coach of the Pennsylvania gridiron warriors came after a long and drawn-out period of time, but now that he has been finally selected as leader of the Quaker athletes next season. peace reigns
 q have been elected as coach of the University of Pennsylvania football team for one year." says Folwell. All that have to say is that I am here to put Pennsylvania at the top of the football ladder, and all I need is just one year to do it in. If I cannot do it in one year then I will be the only one to blame.
 There will be spring football workouts and they will begin as soon as I think it is fit for the men to get out on Franklin field and have the good sound sod under their feet I realize that I have a big task before me, but l am going to start early and get the jump on old Father Time l want to know all of the foot ball men, and think that spring training will give me chance to look over the material for next falls team.
 Bob stated there would be no fayoritism shown to anyone, and that the best man would win out. He said he hoped that the students would continue to support him and he hoped to see more than POO men out for the team this spring From the manner in which Bob has planned things there is certain to be some fur flying when this little Mullica Hill farmer gets down to work preparing for next sea son.
 That Folwell will be the big boss in Pennsylvania football affairs next fali is certain, for he will be given a free rein and the sky is his limit. If he de- sires to appoint an assistant he will in all probability be given the power to choose whoever he wishes, and from the way matters look at present Big Bill Hollenback will be on the job for this position

ATTENTION GIVEN
 SPORTS INCREASES
Over l4,000,OOO Attend Baseball and Football Games During 1915-Buffalo May Get Hinkey As Coach-Wagner a Great Hunter-War Hav- ing Rig Effect On Sport Happenings

New York February 4.-That the time, money and attention given to sports, both amateur and professional, is constantly on the increase in this country is shown in the annual reports of the various gov erning and allied association. In some cases the word recreation can be substi- tuted for sport in order to broaden the field for, in a general way, the two are becoming synonomous in America as Tn England. Exact figures are, of course, absolutely out of the question, but from the records available it is possible to trace and average the growth with reasonable accuracy.
 A recent semi official census of the au- tomobie and motorboat industry in the United States placed the number of motor care at $2,375.OO0 and motorboats at SO0,000 This would give total of more than B. 0000O0 motor-d driven vehicles on land and water If the low average of $400 each is taken as the initial cost the sum in- vested in this class or division of recrea- ton crosses the $1 GOO ,000,O00 line.
 In the golf and tennis fields there are no means of reaching even the approxi- mate amount of money invested or spent by the followers of these sports. More than 1OO0 golf clubs are listed in golf ref erence books, and the National Lawn Tennis association consists of F minor or sectional associations with member ship of more than 300 clubs The number of private public, community and neigh borhood courses or courts must run into thousands and the annual expense for up- keep and supplies into millions.
 Baseball and football attendance rec ords compiled by statisticians for 1915 place the total paid admissions at more than 14,0Oo00O. There are many other sport contests where admission is charged at certain seasons of the year, such as track and field meets, tennis, soccer hockey, skating, auto racing and boxing, which would add several millions to these figures.
 The University of Buffalo is consider ering a plan to offer Frank Hinkey the position of football coach for next sea- son. Hinkeys contract with Yale has another year to run, but there is some doubt as to whether he will return to New Haven under the gridiron regime of 1916.
 Hans Wagner is an enthusiastic hunter and fisherman, but he knows how far to go for game and where to stop. Last fall Outfielder Ed Barney of the Pirates invited Hans to visit him later in the season and indulge in some real Canadian game chasing. Wagner accepted and Barney told him that he would send travelling instructions several weeks in advance of the date set for the trip. Just before the holidays Wagner re- ceived explicit instructions regarding the railroads and other methods of travel by W hich Hans was to reach Barneys shoot ing lodge. Wagner read the directions carefully until he came to the point where he was to take a wagon and drive 65 miles. Right there his enthusiasm for ! the trip began to wane, and it disappeared l entirely when he found that Barney was

MOLEY IS CONFIDENT BARONS WILL HAVE
 ANOTHER GOOD TEAM

staying at Wanganui, Saskatchewan and the thermometer there was flirting with the 30 degrees below zero mark at the time the ink froze on the penned epistle.
 The great European war has had other effects on sport aside from preventing the continuation of international contests. Prices of various sports paraphernalia are beginning to increase, due to short age of materials from which they are manufactured. Ivory for billiard balls and the green cloth used in covering bil- Hard tables cost more today than ever before in the history of the game. The demand for crude rubber, due to the in- creased number of automobile tires in use and foreign war supplies, has also sent up the price of that commodity As a re- suit ivory billiard and rubber bowl ing balls cost considerably more than they did Is months ago, and dealers state that they look for higher prices in the near fu- ture.

Moley was about the most popular person in Birmingham yesterday He was the center of attraction from the time he reached his headquarters until ne reached his home last night Fans couldn't get enough of hearing Moley talk and everybody wanted to know just who he had signed up for the coming season.
 Moley has been ignorant of the happen ings in the baseball world since his de- parture from the Magic City at the close of the 1915 baseball season. In the small town of Frederick, Md, where the Baron manager idles away four of the winter months, no news ever penetrates and all happenings in the baseball world (but ex- cepting Birmingham alone), was first hand news
 Although the Baron manager has been quietly smuggled away in Maryland, and paying no attention to the baseball hap penings, he had his ears and eyes wide open in the interest of the Birmingham club He has been busy with the mails in sending encouraging words to his players who are scattered all over the country and especially to the youngsters who will help make a part of the Baron team in 1916.
 Last night I was too tired to talk, and after a good nights rest, I came to town this morning feeling fine and ready to hear anything about baseball sad Moley yesterday afternoon. It looks like I saw everybody I ever knew or ever heard of, but I'm glad to be able to do it. As the result l know all about the work ings of baseball for the past four months just as well as had I been in the civil ized world
 My plans for the coming season are not much but they have been announced and made known for a long time AS MT. Smith made them known several weeks -ago the Barons will be composed chiefly of youngsters, that is, young players in age as well as in experience. 1 have draft ed several players whom I think will make Birmingham excellent players. There are but two positions to be filled on the team unless the regulars go back on me, and l have collected a variety of material to pick from for these places.
 We will not get any new players at the present, but will wait. If the team develops a weak spot, as in the past, 1t won't take long for it to be strengthened. Players are plentiful; in fact, too plenti- ful. The majors have bunch of young sters that they will cast adrift soon after the season starts on account of the large number of experienced players from the Federal league.
 We are well fortified in all positions, and I think that Birmingham will be able to hold their own as in former years> The players will report between March and 15, the exact date to be announced later. The pitchers will report at a week earlier, so as to give them ample time to get into trim. All we want to get into condition is about three weeks of good weather and then the Barons will be ready for the opening of the 1916 season."

The Chocolate Soldier with it's brilliant, tuneful music and inimitable songs of satire and romance, will be heard again in the hands of the fla nous Whitney Opera company, which will present the comic opera at the Jeff ferson theatre Tuesday matinee and night.
 The phenomenal success of this eX- quisite operas story is too well known to need repetition at this late day, but one often forgets from which opera one's favorite musical numbers occur. But one must remember that the waltz song, My Hero" is the motif of "The Chocolate Soldier with it's catchy re- frain.
