Joe Tinker in the ninth inning.
Not since that year. 1908. have there
been two such conflicts as those now
being waged by the pennant chasers in
the two major circuits. But the stage
is set for such events now There IS
every possibility that there will be no
definite and final arrangement of mat
ters until the closing week of action.
and the decision may possibly come
down TO the very last game in either
league.

 MT Moore leaves a brother, MT. Syden- ham Moore, and a sister Mrs. Alice Moore Smith, in this city. Another sister Mrs. Gregory l.. Smith of Mobile, and Mrs. Minor Friend of New York, besides numerous relatives in all parts of the south.
 He had only returned ao short while from a visit to his sister, Mrs. Friend, in New York. and seemed in perfect health. His sudden death is a great shock to his family and friends.
 Probably no better known or more pop ular man lived in Alabama than "Rit Moore" For long years he was nti- mately associated with the farmers of the state through the cotton business. After retiring from this he was too ac- tive and too useful a citizen to lead a passive life. He became interested in dredging the Alabama river, and thus opened a new avenue of enterprise, and for many years he has had dredging con- tracts in many parts of the states
 His days were spent during the whole period of his life actively, and his sud- den death carries away one of the state S most useful citizens. His body will be brought to his home on Government street in Mobile, whence the remains will rest in Magnolia cemetery.

Dancing at East Lake

Last Saturday night prize spot dance was held. in the pavilion at East Lake park and it was such success that it will be repeated again tomorrow night and will be a regular Saturday night fea- ture. The dance is an interesting one, as prizes are awarded every 15 minutes or oftener during the entire evening. Numbers are painted on the floor at various spots and roulette wheel is hung in the pavilion bearing correspond ing numbers to those on the floor The music suddenly stops in the middle of a dance and all dancers stay on the spot where they stopped when the music ceased. The wheel is then spun and what ever number it stops on wins the prize for the dancer standing nearest that number on the floor. The affair is an interesting one and many prizes are of fered.

GLOVER MOORE
MIR. WARDS STATEMENT

MT. Ward also issued the following detailed explanation in regard to these funds:
 "Mr Moore is probably right in say ing that a large number of the people have the city's interest fund and sink ing fund confused.
 "The interest fund is one-half of the taxes received from real and personal property. Out of this the city mas al- ways been paying interest on it's bond- ed debt Hence the present suit.
 Whatever excess remains after pay ing interest, goes into the sinking fund. Once in the sinking fund, the money can not be touched; and it has never been touched except for investment in bonds, which draw a higher rate of interest than banks pay balances
 "As a concrete illustration of the work ing of the interest and sinking fund.- be- low is statement for the year 1915: Real and personal taxes ......... .92OO oo.0O One-half for interest and sinking

MIR. MOORES REPLY

blTIulnSnd1n, June ZS, 19l6. ''Hon. George B. Ward, City Hall.
 Dear MT. Ward-Yours of 27tn inst received and contents noted The (sup- posedly) humorous skit in The Age Herald of June 27 about the sinking fund was, of course. not intended as serious arraignment of anybody for anything. However. there would oe no point to 1t if 1t were not for cer- tain persistent street rumors, for the inception of which I am in nowise re- sponsible. neither am I responsible that the minds of many prominent people are all clouded with a doubt as to the present existence of the sinking. fund; but rather those are responsible who claim that the sinking fund can be diverted from the purpose for which it was specifically set aside and who have the power so to divert it. As to the misuse of the sinking fund, I thought in my ignorance that any use of it except to retire bonds was a mis- use,' but I believe the injunction suit is to settle that question.
 Don't you think 1t Is worth while to convince the people that the sink ing fund is really intact? Why not do it?
 T want to say that I have the kind Hest feelings for the city commission CTS, all of whom l helped to elect, ex- cept one. and you are not that one. The hardest thing I can think of to say about them just now is that they are such good politicians that they have failed to make any effective ef-

 WRITTEN TO MOORE
Sinking Fund of Nearly Half Million Is Intact and Is Drawing Interest for the
 Citv

Commissioner Ward yesterday took the bit in his teeth and set out to get the people of Birmingham right on the status of the city's interest fund and sinking fund.
 He resents insinuations that there has been misuse of these funds and gives out some correspondence and a statement to show his attitude. The letters he makes public are as fol- lows:
 Birmingham. June 27, 1916. s'Mr. Glover Moore, Birmingham:
 Dear Sir-In this mornings Age Herald there is an article signed by you which insinuates there is a mis- use of money heretofore placed in the sinking fund.
 'As I am in immediate charge of this fund and more responsible for it than any other commissioner I here- with demand that you specify what you mean and prove your charge
 You. as well as other people, are hereby put on notice that anyone who intimates wrongful handling of funds under my supervision will be held per- sonally responsible to me.
 For your information I will say that under the law $479.09916 has been applicable to the sinking fund and ev- cry cent of it was placed in the bank when received and is now on deposit.
 Awaiting your reply am, respect fully, GEORGE B. WARD"
