Rally Saves Michigan

Ann Arbor, Mich, october 2S.-A thun-
derbolt offense, launched with lightning
suddenness in the last few minutes Of
play, gave Michigan's football eleven two
touchdowns for a IA to 10 victory over
Syracuse here this afternoon. Syracuse
scored three points in the first period on
a goal from the field by Meehan. In the
second period Meehan got another drop
kick which sailed over the crossbars A
few minutes later Rafter received a for
ward pass and dashed 20 yards for a
touchdown. When Meehan then made
the goal Michigan's struggle seemed hope
less.
The Wolverines developed strong Of
tense in the last period resorting to
open football. Forward passes put the
ball on the Syracuse .20-yard line. A
penalty cut the distance in half and then,
on fake kick, zeiger carried the ball
over. Maulbetsch kicked goal. The win
ming touchdown was made just before
time was called. Dunno, intercepting a
forward pass and a 15-yard penalty as
sessed against the fasteners for rough
playing, brought the ball within the To-
yard line. On split play zeiger shot
past White for his second touchdown.
Maulbetsch made the goal which gave
Michigan clean victory.

ATLAS TIRE COMPANY
MAKING BIG SUCCESS
Local Branch of Big Tire
Concern Dealing in ''Sec-
Onds" Doing Well

The Atlas Tire company, 426 Twentieth
street. south, dealers in what is known
commercially as seconds" in the tire
market, has had an unusual amount OF
business since it's advent into the Biz
mingham market.
The Atlas Tire company are the sellers
of all popular and standard brands of
tires known as seconds These sec
onds are the tires that, owing to some
slight defect, could not be passed by the
official inspecting corps at the larger fac
tories. Many of these tires are practi-
cally as good as the new product, al
though all of them have some minor de-
fects.
The Atlas company has 10 branches in
the United States, and are the largest
buyers of seconds in the world. E. c..
Mcdonald, manager of the local branch,
in speaking of the progress made in Biz
mingham thus far, said: THE Birming-
ham public seems to realize the fact they
can get tires at greatly reduced prices at
the Atlas branch. There are many tires
that are slightly overbaked and in some
instances not baked enough that would
be all right except for this imperfection.

mean by telling of conditions in my
own home city, Yonkers. N. Y. 1t is not
so many years ago that we had an
American city here, situated on the
banks Of the majestic Hudson, our
only foreign born being Irish and Ger
man, with a Slight sprinkling Of Swe-
dish, French and some English and
Scotch. We did not count them as for
eigners, however, because they rapid
ly learned our language and our Gus
toms and became part Of us. 1t was
in the early SOS when our first So
called foreigners came to us. An in
flux of Slavs. Polacks, and Italians
was followed by Hungarian Jews, Rus
sian Jews, Syrians and others. The
first lot to arrive took up their resi-
dence in two houses In the Nepperhan
avenue district. New arrivals sought
them out and took up quarters in the
same neighborhood, until finally the
entire block was filled. Each nation
ality took block to itself, in diff
ferent section of the city, and each
proceeded to add to its numbers with
new materials. Now the Italian sec
ton, the Polish section. the Slavish
section and SO on through the differ
ent races, cover not single blocks In a
street. but several entire blocks. And
in those sections the American Ian
guage is seldom or never heard from
one weeks end to the other. and when
1t Is, it comes from the mouths of the
children who are attending school.

bLOODHOUNDS ARE
BOUGHT BY CITY
Commissioners Barber Pur-
chases Two Dogs to Meet
Needs of Conditions Here

Commissioner Barber, who is in charge
bought two bloodhounds.
Mr.. Barber stated yesterday that ne
realized the need of bloodhounds for the
tracking of criminals.
The two bloodhounds that have been
bought will be used by the city in the
apprehension of criminals of a desperate
character. Later, other dogs will be pur-
chased by the city.
Il have talked the matter over with
the commissioners regarding the purchase
of some bloodhounds to be used by the
city, and they agreed with me that they
were necessary said Mr. Barber in
speaking of the purchase of these dogs.
While Mr.. Barber did not state the
reason for the purchase of the blood
hounds at this time, it is thought he
took this opportunity of getting these
man hunters to help in the capturing
OF negroes who may commit heinous
crimes.
In less than 10 months there have heen
total of Il criminal assaults upon white
women in Jefferson county. According to
police records only one of these cuprits
have been captured. All of these assaults
nave been committed by negroes. In each
instance, there has been a lack of i'm
mediate response on the part of those
who have charge of bloodhounds in the
county.
At the present time half of the detec-
tive force is engaged on classes OF work
