 Other Fields

Physical Director Hoffer of the Young Mems Christian association turned his resignation in to Secretary Stallngs yes terday to become effective at once. Mr Hoffer will leave tomorrow for Chicago, where he will go to consider several at tractive offers which he has received.
 The news of Mir Hoffers resignation came as a complete surprise to his large following of friends in Birmingham He has been connected with the Local as- sociation for the past year, and as far as could be ascertained by the results of his work, his stay in Birmingham was suc- cessful. MT. Hoffer came to Birmingham about year ago and took active charge local association.
 He coached the Young Mems Christian association basketball team during the past sea son. which won considerable men, ton for the showing of the team The chief fault of the team was the lack of consistent playing, buy close followers of the game do not attribute this to Hoffer's coaching. He also had charge of the track athletics of the association, and had recently been working to build a team for the A. A. U. meet, which was to have been held in Birmingham during the latter part of May.
 Secretary Stallings refused to make any comment on the resignation last night other than he regretted to see Mr. Hoffer resign his local post. MT.

'T hope that he will have an abundance of success in his new undertaking, which I am sure he will"

r One of the best wrestling matches ever offered in Birmingham, is the way fans are expressing their opin- ion on the match at the Jefferson the atre tomorrow night between Dr. Rol- Ter, the famous wrestling physician, and Ed "Strangler" Lewis. claimant for the worlds wrestling championship The programme is scheduled to start at S:30 o'clock. Several preliminaries will precede the main bout.
 Both Dr. Roller and Lewis will reach Birmingham today. Roller wrestled in Birmingham last Monday and showed clean tactics on the mat that won him fame here several years ago. Roller, without a doubt. is one of the best grapplers ever seen in action in Bir- mingham. He handles himself well and keeps the crowd continually in thrills by working hard.
 There is seldom a dull moment on the mat when Roller is one of the contestants. He works hard all the time famous for the toe hold. which he introduced in Birmingham, will have his hands full in putting the shoulders of the Kentucky grappler to the floor. Several years ago Roller defeated Lewis here, but since that time the Kentuckian has developed wonderfully and he is now considered the superior lof Roller. stcf E.M
 The fans are about evenly divided
 on the question of the probable win ner. Lewis has been coming to the front with a rush that has swept all but a few of the very best men in the game behind him and as Roller IS among those still ranked in the Strang- ler's class a. decisive victory over the veteran will gain him fame through out the country. The Kentuckian has

Blanks Everett and the committee in
 charge of transportation. Numerous
 street cars will be provided so as to carry
 the record crowd safely to and from the
 park. Cars will start running to the
 park shortly after 1 o'clock The game
 will not start until S:15 o'clock. At 2:SO
 o'clock, drill by the Boys Industrial
 school will take place on the field. This
 will last until near 3 o'clock. when the
 teams will take the field for the warm

 on hand to furnish music. One of the
 bands, as usual, will be in the rear. of
 the grandstand while the other will be in
 the field. Music will be played before
 the game and between each change of
 field.
 Officials of the committee in charge of
 the opening day campaign expressed the
 belief that the allure of New Orleans to
 get but something over 11,00O people into
 Heinemann park on Friday means that
 Birmingham will again cop the honors.
 Last year with unfavorable weather Bir-
 mingham turned out over II, 600 people
 and this number will be increased by
 1000 or 5000 if the weather is fair, as it
 was in New Orleans. J. Frank Jutz,
 vice chairman of the csmpaign, but in
 full charge during the absence of Chair
 man John W. Sibley. is of the opinion
 that Birmingham will set new league
 record for the opening day crowd. Tho record is something over 12,0c0 people. Every effort is being made to get Bir- mingham in line and let the Magic City still possess the title of the ''souths best
 baseball city, With this a realization of expectations in this respect. Birmingham will certainly carry of the honors for the largest opening day crowd of the 1916 sea son, win the Baugh cup and reap the glory and prestige that go with suc- cessful club, whit h the Barons will surely he under the leadership of Carlton Moles- worth. With the record of the past two years resting on Birmingham. the third year cannot be passed up and it's now up to the fans to do their duty. Turn out in full Wednesday and see the Barons score double victory, win the game and win the attendance trophy.
 The following letter was received from T. H. Rennie, mayor of Pell City, yester- day:

NO NATION so WEALTHY
IN HISTORY, SAYS HAMLIN
Federal Reserve Board Member Be
Heves America Can Stand Shock
Of Postwar Competition.

NEW YORK, September 22.--American
serve bank system, will be able sue
cessfully to Withstand the shock of Eu
ropean competition after the war, in
the opinion of Charles S. Hamlin of the
federal reserve board. His views were
expressed at the annual dinner OF the
Institute of Accountants last night.
He said in part:
Il estimate that the wealth of the
United States has Increased during the
last two years by $4,000. 100000. Bank
deposits have increased between $4,000
eGo,Oa0 and T,000,0o0,000 and the stock
of gold has increased more than $780,
100000. Since the first of the year the
importations of gold have amounted TO
$3.50. 00o,o0
NO nation in the world has ever en-
joyed the prosperity that this country
now enjoys"
Mr.. Hamlin said he felt that this time
was one in which American business
men ought to be conservative IN ofdef
to prepare for the inevitable reaction.
Commencing the federal reserve sys-
tenn he said that in the future no busl-
ness man who deserves credit Will ran
to get it.
Never again will this country see
collapse of credit such as we have OFTEN
seen in the past" he declared. Never
again will there be currency famine
such as we experienced in l9U.
Il am convinced, from careful
view of the situation, that the great
prosperity of today is only a forerun-
ner of the greater prosperity of the Iu-
ture'
