Paris. Tex. March ga conser-
vative estimate Of the number Of peo-
pie made homeless by last nights fire
In the business districts. here was
5000. This estimate was made by
Mayor Ed McCuistion.
Although the city is without food
there Is apparently little suffering.
The property loss is approximately
$3,000,000. Between 1900 and 1000
dwellings are destroyed, in addition
to the big business blocks.
Rumors are vague but persistent,
that a number Of people have lost
their lives. Confirmation, however,
Is lacking and while, considering the
property damage, it seemed miracul-
GUS there should have been no Deaths
The opinion Of those best informed
Is that no person met death.
Homeless Cared For.
Thousands Of homeless men. wom-
en- and children are being cared for
as best as possible in the remaining
residences. railway stations and the
few remaining public buildings. The
question Of making definite arrange
ments for handling the large number
of unfortunates was taken up by the
city authorities and an. emergency
committee Of leading citizens. The
food supply is the most serious prob
lem. Every hotel. restaurant and
grocery in the city has been destroyed.
The wind. which was blowing a
gale when the fire started, and which
abated considerably shortly after
midnight, shifted at daylight, and the
fire is slowly travelling in a southerly
direction; spreading. the. flames
throughout the southern residence

BROWN DRIVES TEAM
FOR GAME THURSDAY
MethOdists Will Meet the
Spring Hill Eleven at
Mobile

With only two days to practice Coach
Brown must drive his men hard in prep
aration for the Spring Hill game at Mo
bile Thursday. This is the Methodists'
first invasion of Mobile and they are
very anxious to ring up victory. They
realize at the same time that it will be
a scrappy game from start to finish.
Spring Hill has a reputa ton of develop
ing good teams, but so far nothing defi-
mite can be determined as to their
strength this season. but 1t is to be con-
cluded from past history that they are
we'll fortified and intend to play Bir-
mfngham scrappy game.
The Methodists, too, are confident of
exhibiting scrappy game and spurred
on by the victory over S. P. u. last Fri
day, will enter the battle with just as
strong lineup as no one suffered any
injury at GAINESVILLE.
Reports from Tennessee state that the
team exhibited a wonderful drive and
played the game as il should be played.
1t has been thoroughly coached and there
is just as good materi~. as will be found
on any small college team of the south.
The Methodists are confident that they
have hit their stride and will extend
every effort to make a clean sweep of all
their games this sea son.

PROTEST
ON FINE ASSESSED
FOR TRANSFORMING
Fraternity Files Protest.
Fultz Says Act Will Not
Be Recognized by
Players

New York, October 2-Reports from
members of the Boston Red Sox, world s
champions, and other American league
players may be fined for playing games
after the close of the regular season, has
evoked vigorous protest from the Base
ball Players fraternity.
President David L. Fultz stated here
today that the fraternity cannot recognize
the right of organized baseball to fine its
members for such an alleged offense and
further pointed out that players were act
ing well within their legal rights in tax
ing part in such games.
1.-THE fraternity cannot recognize the
right of organized baseball to fine play
ers for taking part in games after the
season is over and after their contract
has expired" said President FNultz
THE relation Of a player to magnate is
purely contractual, and gives no basis
for the principle of paternalism which the
magnates now attempt to inject into It.
In addition, representatives of organized
baseball have for years conducted post
season trips In which they shared the
receipts, and it is difficult for the players
to see the distinction between these trips
and the ones the magnates now seek to
abolish
"If the national commission thinks the
alleged offense of sufficient Importance
and the act would be a wise and dig
nified one. they have every right to with
hold the worlds series emblems from the
Red Sox. AS far as filming them Is con-
cerned, that is an entirely different mat
ter"

MISSISSIPPI AGG|ES
TO MEET PLA|NSMEN

Birmingham gridiron fans will get their
first drift of real football battle Satur-
day, when the Auburn Plainsmen and the
Mississippi Aggies meet at Redwood
Field in their annual struggle. AS in
former years. a good, clean, hard-fought
game is expected with the Aggies again
bringing up the short end of the count.
Indications at the present are that one
of the best games in years will be
staged. Last year. Auburn won by four
touchdowns, but there is a great variety
of opinion concerning the probable out
come of the game Saturday. Auburn is
as strong if not stronger than last year,
but the Aggies have also improved.
The Plainsmen will be in good
shape for the game, while news from
Starkville is to the effect that the Aggies
will be in the best condition of the
season.
Coach Donahue is not going to take any
chances with the Mississippi outfit. They
have always given the Plainsmen a good
game and continuance is expected.
Jack Wayne will probably be the only
Auburn regular out of the game. Other
wise, the Auburn team will be in excel
lent shape, ready for hard game.

FORMER BASEBALL
PLAYER MAY GET
MILITARY CROSS.
Bill O'Hara, Former Big
League Scout, Recon-
mended for Cross.
Hurting Bombs

Boston, October 23.-Bill O'Hara. once
a star left fielder of the Toronto Inter
national league and former scout of the
New York National league club, has been
recommended the military cross In recog-
milton of his bravery and skill in hurl-
ing bombs for the British army on the
Somme battle front, according to advices
received here today from his home in To-
ronto.
When O'Hara played in the Interna-
tional league he was noted for his
strong and accurate throwing. Baseball
men here say it was common occur
renee for him to head off a too daring
base runner at the plate by long, quick
throw from the outfield.
O'Hara is lieutenant in a Canadian
regiment at the front and is now hurting
deadly bombs instead of baseballs. Ac-
cording to word from Toronto, the prac-
tice he had in baseball has stood him in
good stead while heading bombing
squad.
