By CLARENCE

Two of the finest horse racing exhibi- tions ever witnessed by Birmingham fans were staged yesterday afternoon at the State Fair grounds, when four horses fought it out for the best three out of five heats in the 2:1O pace and the 2:1o trot. The races started at 1:30 and it was after o'clock before Miss Bell Patchen. owned by Dr. Gladden. of Monroe, La, and driven by John B. Walker of Jack son, Tenn, won the 2:10 pace.
 Miss Bell Patchen was closely followed by Tony B, owned by E. T. Banks of Decherd, Tenn, with Talley B. by Colonel Gentry, owned and driven by John w. Thomas of Nashville, bringing up a close third. Peter Greenwade. owned by Scott Maxwell of Cardova, and driven by c. Sills brought up fourth money.
 This was considered one of the best races ever run at the State Fair grounds, and it tended to put the racing spirit in fans and horsemen. The time for the pace was 2:09A. 2:07A, 2:O9s4 and 2:11A.
 The 2:10 trot was the most exciting race ever held here, according to horse men. Grace Hussey, owned by Smith & Bland of Sidney, O., and driven by Dick SneDner0, won lniS IdCc, dltcI lOL contest of five heats, contesting tie with Dr. Long. Dr. Long made things warm for Grace Hussey and spectators were on their feet time after time as the two horses raced neck and neck, or passed and repassed each other. On the last lap, with both trotters coming in with a close margin. excitement ran high. pr. Long is owned by H. R. McCurty of Lowndesboro. and made the first two heats in the fast time of 2:10. Edward Grey, driven by Ben Rennick, won thiYd money easy, being in on the fifth heat. Paul Gentry, owned and driven by H. M. Smith of Selma, came in for fourth place. Each event was for a purse of $500.

Miss Stirling showed all the quali- ties of a champion. In her play today she never faltered in any department of her game. driving to some of the holes like many of the leading men golfers. Her handling of iron clubs was phenomenal and if any weak streak developed in her play it came rarely and then on the putting greens.
 Although Miss Caverly played a cour ageous game. she was outclassed. She led at the second hole, the only time she was in front during the match.

in all southern elevens this year. A good punter, one who can average at least 40 yards, is practically thing of the past Vandy is particularly in need of a good man who can play football as well as kick. Whether Tech has a good punter is not known, but in the event the Yel- low Jackets have a man who can aver age around the 40-yard mark, it will make the Heisman eleven the strongest in Dixie.
 The mere fact that Vandy and Tech appear the strongest at the present does not mean that the other southern teams are not to be reekoned with. Numerous other elevens are strong and in fact practically every eleven is strengthened over last year.
 Auburn, a strong contender in former years, will again be in the fight. The Plainsmen will be strong on the defense, as usual, and the outcome of the efforts of Coach Donahue to develop a credit able offensive will tell their fate. Au- burn is fully 30 per cent stronger than last year and it would not be surprising to see the Plainsmen hot in the fight for the title. They will an easy third in the final rating.

annapolis, October 1.-The Navy, after a rather disappointing start against Dlckinson last Saturday, came back to- oay and defeated Georgetown 13 to '.

OTHER TEAMS NOT IMPROVED

Mississippi A. and M, Georgia, Missis- slppi college, Tulane, Florida and Ken lucky state are all stronger. Especially is this true of the first two named. Flor ida suffered heavy loss of last year S players through membership in the Ma tional Guard.
 Every indication supports the theory of better football in the south this sea- son. Practically every eleven is stronger and southern gridiron fans will have the opportunity of witnessing some great battles before Turkey day rolls around.
 Let the southern teams develop some good punters and then everybody will he ready to sit back in their seats and watch the greatest struggle in the history of the southern game for the championship of Dixie.

ALABAMA STRENGTHENED

Alabama is also strengthened about 25 per cent, and provided, injuries will leave Coach Kelley alone for few months, the Crimson eleven will again be formida- ble machine. Alabama should beat it's standing of last year.
 Sewanee is the dark horse of the cam paign. The Tigers are greatly improved and will undoubtedly give the stronger elevens much harder battle than last year when the Cope aggregation had one of the most disastrous seasons in the history of the university.
 Tennessee under a new coach is much improved, but will lack far from making the showing it did in 1914, when winning the southern championship. Tennessee IS improved, however and will better it's standing of last year.

BACK TO OLD MEXICO

(The Soldiers Song)
By CHARLES STEDHAN RIPLEY
There's little dark-eyed maiden
Way down in Old Mexico.
In gilded tawdry danoe-hall
Where We gringos used to go;
And I know that she is waiting,
That am about to go
Back to this subtle swarthy maid,
Way down in Old Mexico.
Back to Old Mexico,
With the regulars go.
Back to the burning blood-soaked sands
Down in Old Mexico;
And this maid used to know,
She is yet in Mexico,
And know that she will love me,
As before in Mexico.
There'll be miles and miles of desert,
Swept by hot winds and by cold,
Dotted here and there with cactus,
And with dead mems bones untold;
There'll be snakes out in the sage-brush,
Other reptiles over bold,
But the dream girl of my fancy,
She will love me as of old.
Back to Old Mexico,
With the regiment go,
Back to that sun baked blistered land,
Back to the tropics glow;
And this maid who loved me so, ~
l will find somewhere 1 know.
For the tinkle of her mandolin
I will hear in Mexico.
Oh, the snipers they will snipe US,
As they sniped us once before,
From the sage brush, rocks and cactus,
They will snipe- and snipe galore;
But who minds a little sniping,
Or the battles din and roar,
1t ones not the one who's potted,
And wiped out for ever-more
Back to Old Mexico,
With my comrades all go,
Back to that land of the bandits bold
Down in Old Mexico;
And this maid used to know,
will hunt her high and low
For her wicked burning kisses
oh, ye Gods! AND MEXICO!
