PIG IRON ORDERS
EXCEED OUTPUT
Iron Market Very Active With Ris-
ing Tendency in Prices

Orders for pig iron continue to exceed
the output of the Birmingham furnaces
No. 2 foundry iron is quoted at s16 J..
w. Mcqueen, vice president of the Sloss.
Sheffield Steel and Iron company, stated
yesterday that the market was strong
While he would not forecast an increase
on iron, the condition of the market -
such that it would seem that the figure
will go higher.
At the Sloss company furnaces there is
considerable activity in the basic Iron
furnace divisions. Last month the allies
placed an order with the Sloss-Sheffield
Steel and Iron company for 100000 tons
of basic iron. Mr. Mcqueen said that
this iron, which is used in the making
of steel, was being loaded on cars and
that it was being sent to the warning
nations.
In all, the allies placed an order for
10000 tons of this iron with companies
in the Birmingham district. The Wood
ward Iron company is now engaged in
supplying $4,000 tons to the allies.

AUTOMOBILE MANS VIEWS

AU lONlODlLE MAN . VIEW .
Blaine Brownell of the Brownell
Auto company, one Of the most pa
triotic citizens in this community and
who has done much for the benefit OF
this city, is another that believes the
municipal golf course at Green Springs
is a great thing.
"At last we are going to have a
golf course" said Mr.. Brownell. 81
feel confident Of this fact. have no
hesitancy in saying / believe the golf
course at Green Springs will be a great
success and will be built shortly. When
it is built there will be a lot of cit
liens who will say, Why didn't we do
this long ago?' Every city Of any i'm
portance in the United States has built
golf courses and recreation grounds
for it's citizens. We are going forward
by this movement and I am for prog
ress always"
E. L. Gleaves of the Partisan says
that he has the first citizen of Biz
mingham to meet who has a hamme
in his pocket ready to knock a great
step toward helping Birmingham. 1.-THE
strange part of the whole thing is that
there are no Knockers" said Mr..
Gleaves. There should never be any
knockers when a project of the magni-
tude and greatness of the municipal
golf course is put up to the people.
We are all for it. I feel safe in saying
there is not Il single man who lives,
works and likes this city who is
against the golf course at Green
Springs"
ALL WOULD HELP
John f. Dunn of Ballard & Ballard
says he believes that the citizenry OF
Birmingham would turn out en- masse
and help build the golf course II called
upon to do so. "Why should they re-
fuse?" asks MI. Dunn. The building
of this course means great things for
the people of Birmingham. The peo-
pie of this city are not dense when 1t
comes to a project that means the up
building of this city. If they were
this town would still be the village
Il was 20 years ago. Every municipal
ity in the country has long ago found
out that concerted action on the part
OF its citizens means the success of
greater things for the progress OF the
town in which they live. There will be
and Is concerted action on the part
OF the citizens of Birmingham indors-
ing the proposition.
Henry L. Jenkins of the Jenkins
Taxicab company says the golf course
will help Birmin CHAM just as 1t has
helped other cities. "These golf courses
have been built throughout the Uni
ted States and not a single one of
them has been a failure. The building
of the Green Springs course is not an
experiment. 1t is a known fact that
it will mean much to the city as n
whole and will be of inestimable value
to the citizens. Men, women and chill
dren are in favor Of this project and
it will be only question of few
months before lots of them will be
out on the green enjoying themselves
as guests of the city"
sCJTpE J,NJ EOD Jrr,,
Nose Lebanoff of Everybody's de-
rartment store says the spirit that
makes things a success has invaded
the golf course idea and this means
the course is the same as built.

JUDGE GREEN COMMENTS

In the meanwhile citizens in every
walk of life, of every creed and nigh
or low degree indorse the project and
are willing to lend a helping hand.
IT never played golf in my life,
said Judge Dan Green. But because l
do not play golf is no reason why L
should wish to deny the citizens the
right to go out and enjoy themselves.
Therefore 1 am absolutely for the mu-
nicipal golf course at Green Springs
and am willing to do what l can to
further the movement that means
much to every person in this com
munity Let us get together and build
this park. What others have done. we
can do and are going to do"
John Dabney, a prominent real es-
tate man, one who has seen Birming-
ham grow from village to a city,
says he is for the golf course.
"I am for it, always have been for
it and always will be for it," said Mr..
Dabney. II see no reason why any
one who cares a rap about the town
he lives in should be against it. L
feel that this step is one toward pros
perity. The dead cities of the coun-
try are the ones that do not know
what the word progress means. Show
me city that is continually advocat-
ing something for the benefit of its
citizens and I will show you a live
town."

ALL VOLUNTEER SERVICES

There are lis acres of land in the
Green Springs tract. 1t is idle now, no
good to anyone. The commissioners
wish to see this course improved for
the people They are in sympathy with
the project, just as is every other pa
triotic citizen.
The actual work on the golf course
will begin next week. Engineers, archi-
tccts and citizens in every line of en-
deavor have volunteered their services
for the golf course gratis. Some pa
triotic and public spirited citizens have
even volunteered their services as Ia
borers on the work. The golf links
will be built. When built golf Will
not be the only feature. There Is sur
ficient room for tennis courts, baseball
diamonds, benches for picknickers and
other things

Age-Herald Has Volunteered
to Raise by Subscription
Such Funds as Needed
WORK WILL
BEGIN NEXT WEEK
ON INITIAL PLANS
Citizens Continue to Give
Endorsement to Project
for Opening Park to
Use of People

One of the beauties about the mu-
nicipaI golf course at Green Springs
Is that 1T is not going to cost the city
cent.
No money has been asked from the
city commissioners for this purpose.
The only part the city need play in
the golf course as proposed is that 1t
will probably furnish few convict
to help clear the land and place the
course in shape.
The golf course, the clubhouse, the
tennis courts, the Fairgrounds, in fact,
everything in connection with the mu-
nicipal golf course at Green Springs
will be built by public subscription.
The Age-Herald is sponsor for the
movement and will attend to the de-
tails of raising the necessary amount
of money toward this project for the
citizens Of Birmingham.

MORAN AFTER
CHAMP AGAIN
Will Maui the Second Raters and
Then Go After Champion

By "Gill"

ny 'NAIA
Frank Moran still believes that he
can beat Champion Jess Willard He
is not going to waste time barking at
the heels of the title holder, but in
tends fighting his way right to the
place where the big Kansan will have
to take much notice of him. Frank
was advised by some well-meaning
friends to map out theatrical circuit
that would fit in with that of Will.
lard's circus dates and dog him into
making match with him.
But Francis, being man with more
brains than the ordinary fellow who
lives by his fists, is going to do 1t
quite differently He's going to fight
and remove all those who think they
should have a chance at the title. In
all probability the first man Moran
will tackle in his elimination series
will be Jack Dillon, who many think
is better man than the fellow who
met, Jess Willard few weeks ago.
To Rest Up
For the present, Moran is going to
take things very lightly. He may
snow at few theatres in New York
state, where the fight pictures are be.
ing exhibited, and at the end of six
weeks will be ready to put on the
training toys again and get right
down to business.
A promoter who has made prelim-
mary arrangements for the building
of an arena at Sheepshead Bay has al.
ready approached both Moran and
Dillon on the proposition of fighting
at the Day club on Decoration day.
The matter has appealed to both fight
ers and likely as not that will be the
time for the Titian-haired warriors
first battle since meeting Willard
Arena to Seat 25,000
The Sheepshead Bay arena, it is
said will be built to accommodate a
crowd of about $4,000 people, which
will be assurance that popular prices
will prevail. At small prices the fight
would probobly be one of the greatest
money houses that has marked the
1O-round game and would rival the
recent $4,000 gate at the Garden.
Moran has closed with no one as yet,
and will not until he has looked over
all bids for the match. There are
sure to be many of them, for this
bout stands out as the best that could
be made at this time. Dillon has sew
eral big bouts on hand, but he says
he will keep the Decoration day date
open.

Maurice E. McLouglin Opposed
to High Priced Trophies
for Tournaments.
p., "G;llU

BY Gill
Cups no longer may be fashionable
as lawn tennis prizes.
Maurice E. Mclaughlin has come
out against the high priced trophies
with the fiat statement: II do not
want any more cups
OF all champions Mclaughlin is the
first to set himself against the con-
ventional prize. Without taking ac-
count of the smaller trophies The
Comet has something more than
thirty cups, but he thinks there can
be too much of a good thing.
Following closely on the declaration
made by the famous player, Roberl p
Wrenn has been appointed by Geore'ea
T. Adee, President of the National
Association, to act as cOmmitte OF
one to devise something more suit
able than cups for the prize list.
Mr.. Wrenn also is empowered to
undertake the systematizing of lawn
tennis prizes. He is planning to
adopt new standards, so that tourn-
ament of minor Importance will not
be Offering trinkets of high value,
while major championship holds out
less "aluable inducements to the win
ner.
The appointment Of Mr.. Wrenn to
find the solution Of the prize problem
is generally accepted among the rank
and file of lawn tennis players to
mean that the days of campaigning
for the rich baubles offered is at an
end.
The old trick of coaxing the stars
of the courts to enter an unimportant
meeting by the golden glitter of the
prizes is to be discouraged.
Even at the present time there
amounts to a censorship under ma
tional direction of all prizes offered
at the tournaments on the seasons
schedule. .....
Several of the leading tournaments
abandoned the Offering of cups Sc
veral years ago. Walter l.. Pate, for
mer secretary of the Ranking Com
mittee, said that suitable articles OF
jewelry had found favor at the grea;
meeting on the turf of the Nassau
Country Club.
Cuff links, studs, vest chains, ciga
rette and card cases, sets of silver
mounted brushes, and similar articles
had proven welcome substitutes fol
the time-honored cups, bowls and plat
ters
Miss Elizabeth H. Moore, former
holder of national and other import
ant championships, remarked that il
cost her pretty penny each year tc
keep the collection of silver ssups she
has won in safe deposit vaults.
In the opinion of Miss Moore q
great boon will be conferred on many
players by Wrenn if he is able to tell
them how to make their prizes use
full. aE

ST. PAUL A. c. MAY NOT
HAVE HOCKEY TEAM

The moving Of Ray Johns, man.
ager of the St. Paul A. G. hockey team,
to Kansas City, Mo-, may mean that
the st. Paul A. G. may not have a
hockey team next year, or, if it does.
it probably will not rank as one Of
the greatest sevens in the United
States, as did the one that Johns
gathered together last season.
Johns was hard worker in the in
terest of amateu" sport He was the
originator Of the Amateur Baseball
association in St. Paul and started
the hockey boom here.
His team of 1914-15 was the first
high-class hockey team that st. Paul
had had for many years. His last
seasons team undoubtedly was the
greatest seven that ever represented
st. Paul.
The winning of the MacNaughton
trophy was great feat and one that
hockey followers in st. Paul can we'll
boast of.
