Y. M. [. A. READY FOR GAME TONIGHT WITH
 MOBILE ' QUINTET
Coach Hoffer Has Team Back in FOrm-Game Closes the Locals
 Season Here

l ". M. c. A. will take on another bas- ketball team tonight when the five mixes with the Mobile Y. M. c. A. at the local s gym at 8:30 o'clock. The locals are not in the best of condition, but will give 1 the Gulls a hard game
 Although Coach Hoffer's clan is not dis outraged over the defeat administered them by the fast University of Alabama quintet on Tuesday night, it still shows the effects of the hard game. The locals have been put through hard practice for the past few days following the de- feat and are now back into fairly good condition. The showing made against Alabama was far below the standard of the 'Y'' five, and Coach Hoffer is con fident that the. team will make better showing in tonight's game.
 The Mobile five comes to the city with the strength of the team unknown Coach Hoffer has been unable to find any record of the Gulls during the pres- ent season. They have not played any of the strong southern fives with the exception of Vanderbilt. The Commo- dores defeated the Gulls by a large score at Mobile in the earlier part of the sea- son.
 Mobile has in the past been a champion ship contender. Aware of this, Coach EIoffer has given his squad hard workouts for the past few days, and has rounded
 
 showing of Stapleton at forward in the Alabama game has about displaced Dur ham.
 As yet Hoffer is undecided as to what line.u up he will follow. It is generally pre- cicted that Durham will start off the game, and provided that he fails to give satisfaction, Stapleton will be sent in. The remainder of the lineup will be the same with bowman at center, Estes and Faunce and possibly Greenwood and Cap tain Brooks at the other forward.
 Although the locals are eliminated from the running for the southern title, they will enter the game tonight determined to give the Gulls beating. A return game will be played in Mobile on February 26 This game will close the locals's basket ball season at home. They will journey to Tuscaloosa to play the Crimson five soon. A large crowd is expected at the game. Coach Pritchard of Central High will officiate.

MOLLY AND SMITH RETURN FROM TRIP No Contracts Received. Expecting Kick From
 1915 Veterans

c. Molesworth and MT. Smith of the Birmingham Baseball association re. turned yesterday afternoon at 43t o'clock via automobile from the latter $ country place at Springviile. Both re- ported having had fine time and to have spent the hours very profitably in the mutual contemplation of the beauties of nature.
 The first place the two made for when they returned was the offices of the Bir- mingham Baseball association on the seventeenth floor of the Jefferson bank building, where the mail was gone over and the horizon scanned for develop ments.
 There were none. All was quiet along the Potomac and not creature was stir ring, not even mouse. No signed con tracts have been received as yet from prospective members of the 1916 Barons, but it is understood negotiations will get under way at once with severa. players regarding that cut in salary which the league salary limit has forced.
 Owing to the fact that so many 1915 veterans return there are expected to be an unusual number of strenuous kicks at having to stand a cut in salary. We sympathize with them. It does look like climbing up two feet and falling back three, but remember, brother, the war is over and now comes reconstruction

MOleswOrth Denies Inten- tiOn of Releasing Popular Third Sacker and Ex- presses Surprise at the Reports

Is Carleton Molesworth, like the cute little cherub that he is-not-quietly combing the country for a third base- man to take the place of our friend Bill Lindsay at third base in the scom- ing season? Molesworth has not said, but certain indications which are not on the surface hint either that he is doing that same thing or. someone is feeling out his attitude toward the third baseman.
 The news will come as dfstinck shock to Birmingham fans. as they had regarded Lindsay as good for at least another season in this company. Last year he played the best ball in his career and nothing has been heard this year as to his intention of retiring or as indicating an intention not to| return here for the season.
 There is considerable mystery about the situation. Molesworth last night denied vehemently that he had any idea ot disposng of Bill; that he. thought he had many years of base- ball left in him. and that he would do the Birmingham club good service during the coming season.
 This is certainly surprisfng said Moley last night, when told of the rel ports which are being heard quietly around the league. 'I haven't the re- motest idea in the world of disposing of Lindsay. He is only 30 years old and an extremely heady player. There is still much service left in the vet- eran and he is going to put in some good licks for Birmingham this year.'
 According to information coming to The Age-Herald, Lindsay has written to Roy Ellam, manager of the Nasli- vile club, expressing a desire to play for the sorrell-top this year. Lindsay in the letter is said to have declared that he expected to be free agent in short time. Ellam, according to (Contfnued on Page Nine)

Pratt City and Wylam managers nut ually agreed to play the tie game of last Saturday off tomorrow at Redwood and settle their differences on the field as to who has the best team. They have also agreed that they will play until decision is reached.
 This means that the game will be fought to d finish and the result known when the game ends. Both teams are in fine shape, and prepared for a long and hard battle. The teams are about equally matched as they played go minutes last Saturday and neither team was able to score. Tomorrow's game will be just as

are 32 Sunday games in the two "big cities;" Atlanta gets eight, or one- fourth, of the whole bunch. Thus At lanta, one of the best moneymakers at home, is by the crafty scheming of Charley Frank given the vast edge over all the others on the road.
 ASKS BAUGH TO EXPLAIN
 We would like, in behalf of the Chat tanooga club. to have President Baugh explain the justice of this one feature of the schedule. The league executive has hitherto shown himself to be fair, nonpartisan and capable of grasping important situations. We are willing to believe that he has not studied the new schedule, though it was his duty to do so. If he had studied it, pre- yious to defending the document, there are but two explanations possible for his approval--one a lack of ability to understand it, the other willing con sent to the work of Frank.
 In a general way, it's best to give the choice of dates to the biggest towns. 'tis true; but if the Frank prin- cipIe of giving them everything is fol- lowed, the league might as well be cut to four clubs without the big cities hav- ing the fun" of forcing the smaller clubs out by the bankruptcy route.

St. Louis Browns. was introduced to his fellow club owners and told them that his first year in the Federal league cost him SSs0OO. and during the second year be lost about $94000.
 The delegates requested President John. son to ask the national commission for permission to farm out'' 15 instead of eight players under the optional agree ment, and on the second years option to increase the number to five instead of two which is now the limit under the rule.
 The league as body agreed to allow the minor leagues to send out their con- tracts to players up to March l each year. Similar action was taken by the National league here last week, so that the matter now awaits the indorsement of the national commission. Formerly these contracts had to be rendered be- fore February l.
 An amendment to the draft rule pro- posed by President Ebbets of the Brook iyn club and sanctioned by the National league a week ago. also was passed up to the national commission for ratinca- tion.

DOES GERARD
CARRY REQUEST
To END War?
RUJMOR THAT GERMANY i.
WANTS y. S. TO ACT
Is Denied by German Ambas-
sador-The Washington
Officials Are Ret1cent.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Oct. o.
Ranking officials of the State Depart
ment said to-day they bad no informa-
ton to indicate that Ambassador Ger
ard is bringing home a request from
Germany that the United States in
tercede to end the European war. and
were inclined not to believe the story.
Count Won Bernstorff. the German am
bassa1lor. declared he knew positively
that II WAS untrue.
While the department does not be-
lieve Mr.. Gerard would accept so I'M
portant 4 mission without Notifying
his government, It is realized that
available means Of communication BE-
tween Washington and Berlin are very
hazardous where delicate subjects are
involved. The ambassador. it is felt,
might be especially reluctant to al
tempt to communicate with the dpeart-
ment regarding matter so important
as a peace proposal, with the risk that
of the allies.
II was declared. on the other hand.
that the Washington government
would have knowledge of such mis-.
sion if authentic word OF it had
reached anyone ir the United States.
The German am bassador would not
discuss the story beyond saying II
was untrue. but he was very emphatic
in his declaration that he had inIor-
nation positively disproring it.
Specific Request.
Officials at the department to-day
said that only specific request for
mediation by one of the bel!igerents
would bring about any effort by this
country to effect European peace.
In the absence Of Secretary Lansing.
who is i'll at his home. high officials OF
the department said no action would
be taken by this government unless ac-
tually requested. even if i direct oyer
were to come from one side. Doubt
was expressed whether a Willingness
10 receive mediation would not have
to come from both sides before this
country would act: 1t is felt both
groups of belligerents have been SO
rigid in their attitude that any ad-
vance by Il neutral would have TO De
extremely cautious.
There is Il growing conviction among
some officials that military peace
brought about by almost direct negO-
tiation between the belligerents will
be the probable outcome Of the war
Both groups of beuigerents are
thought to. be opposed to negotiations
by third party.

FORMER PRESIDENT
TAFT MAKES ATTACK
ON ADAMS0N BILL

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Oct. THE
eight hour law recently enacted oS
Congress, was attacked by William
II. Taft tonight. when he addressed
thousands Of persons at the Coliseum,
discussing the development of consil'
:utional government Of the state. NJ.
'raft's speech was part OF the couu-
" day program in connection with
lndiana's centennial celebration and
while nonspoltical n character. gave
him opportunity 70 find flaws in the
governments course OF action With
out manning persons and parties spe-
officially. !
In tracing the development from
the old northwest territorial days, ne
showed that through constitutional
limitations placed on the. conduct OF
men, society as whole had been pro-
tected against those who would seek
10 turn all things TO their service or
benefit. He said that these limisa-
lions did not restrict the liberty Of
men. but that they did prevent the
exercise OF license as distinguished
from liberty.
Dir. Taft declared that the Law tor
bids the formation Of combinations fo-'
oppression. But. he said. there has
developed in this country tendency
in high. quarters to disregard conSti-
,utional limitations and To overlook
certain classes OF acts provided 2o-
li,ical advantage could be gained He
regarded the eight hour law as such
and said:
This is the most noteworthy in
stance Of a group whose labor was
necessary that society may live. re-
fusing to perform its function IN the
social machinery
After reviewing the modification OF
constitutional restraints since 1ndi.

lost our liberties but the law regulat-
ing them has been changed with the
necessity Of society and in the In
terest Of all"

FAIRBANKS SHOWS UP
DEMOCRATIC PARTY

EUGENE. Ore. Oct. 6.--CharIes W.
Fairbanks. Republican nominee for
vice president. spoke half an hour here
to-day. devoting his talk TO comparf-
son of Inc policies ut the Republican
and Democratic parties.
"Charles f. Hughes stands for the
policies Of tho Republican party. and
these policies stand for the American
people" h. said.
The Democratic party is a great
kicking party. 10 use an Indiana
phrase, and I believe il will be kicked
out on The seventh Of November.
There is az the present time pros
perity in spots. kind of leopard pros
perity. but in certain sections Of the
country, YOU know and I know, there
is adversely, and this has been caused
by the adoption of the policies OF the
Democratic party. The Republican
party spreads prosperity from sea to
sea-like blanket.
The sixteen years from the begin
ming Of the Mckinley administration
to the end Of the Taft administration
were golden years Of prosperity.
Under the Democratic Underwood
law the Industries Of the nation be-
San TO furl their sails, and there was
not a single part Of the country that
did not feel It's effects
