Nicholas OrZoJf And
 Charles Cutler Meet
 For $1OOO Purse May 3
Champion of Russia Accepts Terms for Bout With Charles Cutler-Remarkabe Reputation for Strength and
 Ability Acquired by Cossack Whirlwind

pounds, all of it supple muscle, he moves like at eat and is said to be a veritable whirlwind in action.
 The way in which Orloff came to be selected for the match was somewhat unique, as MT. Parks had been negtiat ing with Ivan Linnow, who pleased Bir- mingham audiences on his previous ap- pearance in this city. Orlon on learning this declared that he was the champion or Russia and entitled the match with Cutler rather than Linnow, as he had thrown Linnow and was @ better man than he. On investigation Mir. Parks found this to be correct and accepted Orloff for the match.
 Cutler is one of the most popular wrest- lers who ever appeared In Birmingham and much of the high regard in which he is held by the local fans is due to his clean fast work in the bout with Paul Martinson. Cutler, despite the fact that the Dane was inclined to rough it, kept to his own clean style of wrestling and soon had the whole crowd with him. Many have been anxious to see him in action again. and Mir. Parks believes that the match on May will be even better than the previous one. if such be possible.
 Anyway. the announcement that Orloff and Cutler will meet in a finish bout should set the wrestling public by it's ears for the match.

Volleyball Tourney to Be
 Staged at the Y. M. c. A.

The second annual Y. M. c. A. vol leyball tournament will begin next Tuesday night, April 24. and will con- sist of three series. There are four teams entered and the champion will be determined by the greatest number of games won during the tournament.
 There is a great deal of discussion as to who has the best chance at the trophy. The Saxons, explained by Me Vicar, are causing no little comment and a great many enthusiasts are counting on them to win the tourna
 ment. Every team in the tournament is after the scalp of the Giants, who won the championship last year. The Elec- tries have an excellent chance to win first honors this year and they are practicing daily to bring this about
 The public is invited to see these games and get familiar with the sport that is fast becoming so popular with the business men throughout the coun- try. There are few places that play

Nicholas Orlon, a giant Russian Cos sack. will undertake to throw Charles Cutler, the noted American grappler, two out of three times in Birmingham on the night of Thursday. May 3. for the sum of slO00. according to announcement made Saturday afternoon by Brown Parks. who is presenting a series Of wrestling matches in this city The match will be held in the Jefferson thea tre and the purse is offered by Mir parks to assure the patrons of the game of some of the greatest work ever seen on a Birmingham mat
 The announcement by MT Parks that he would offer a purse of s1000 for a man to throw Cutler created the widest in terest in wrestling circles in the east, and the local promoter was flooded with offers for the match. These were care fully conned and the man MT. Parks considered best able to put on a bout that would be worthy of the standard set in the first match was selected.
 Nicholas Orloff is regarded as the pre- mer of the wrestlers Europe has given to America in the present day. Of the widest experience he has learned the diff ficult art of avoiding the handicap of his size and although he weighs over 200

Even Officers Will Not
 Ride in Pullmans, Says
 New Department Order

Washington, April 2l.-No Pullman cars are to be used by. the new army in its mobilization, in order to avoid railroad congestion and delays in troop move ments.
 The following order has been issued by the Secretary of War:
 During the war standard Pullman and tourist sleepers will not be used for the transportation of troops under ordinary conditions. Day coaches will be used on the basis of one officer to each double seat, and three men to each two double seat. This order to apply in all cases except journeys of unusual length, COW ering more than one night and one day, which cases will be separately considered when they arise.
 The above regulation is necessary ow- ing to the limited number of sleeping cars available for troop movements and to the congestion that would arise on transportation lines if sleepers had to be collected for every large movement of troops. Moreover, by doing away with sleepers, the numbers of cars necessary to handle the movements Is decreased by one -ouarter."

THRILLING MATCHES AT I'M. GA
Shanks and Carter Defeat Hood and Waters for
 Handball Title

Shanks and Carter defeated Hood and Walters Saturday afternoon in one of the most spectacular handball matches ever played on the Y. M. c. A. courts. It took the full five games to decide the winner and was a gruelling fight from start to finish
 Shanks and Carter took the first game without a great deal of trouble, but when they launched their attact in the second game they found a much stronger defense. Both teams were playing a very even game at this time. and there was little to choose between them. Hood and shanlSs were fighting teeth and toenail for an advantage. while Walters seemed to have the edge on Carter. The score reached the count of r. all, when, with out warning, Hood and Walters started a drive at their oponents that did not diminish until they had the game on ice by the score of q to l5. This made the score in games one all. and it was i'll the third game that the titanic struggle took place It would be impossible to stage a game closer than this game was played and when the score stood 70 all the spectators received their thrill of the afternoon. The nervous strain was relieved by Hood, when he drove the pei let low for a point which decided that game This gave Hood and Walters the edge on their opponents. but they ex- perienced a slump. which they did not recover from. Shanks and Carter took the last two games by the score of q to 10 and 21 to 6. It was a great match and the members present enjoyed it im- mensely Carter played an excellent game in the last two while Shanks and Hood played remarkable at all times, Shanks was steady as a clock and Wat ters played spectacular at times.

LEE AGAIN WINNER OF HIGH HONORS
 IN MATCH SERIES
Birmingham Man Wins Out Over 2000 of Best Shoot CTS From All Parts of
 the Country

Reports from the war department at Washington yesterday morning announce the fact that T. k. Lee of Birmingham gets high individual honors in the series of 10 weekly matches just closed
 Lee duplicated his 1913 record of 1909 out of a possible 2000, or just one point lost in 20O0 shots. A composite made of POO shots makes a hole in the center of the bulls eye which a dime will com pletely cover.
 His record in 1914-15 was 45s9 out of possible 4600, going through the II Ma tonal Rifle association matches that year without a single miss, and dropping only one point in the Short Range league.
 In the matches this year, there were over 200o of the best shots in the United States competing.
 Final reports on standing of the various teams has not been received, but at last reports Chicago was heading class D, while Birmingham held second place and New York third. Final standing will be known next week.

mud and sIush. Added to the 124 miles driven with broken front spring, the record assumes almost unbelievable pro- portions. The time of seven hours and 15 minutes for the 2r4 miles is an average of 2S miles per hour.
 Interesting features of the run was the freedom from tire trouble despite the rocks and ruts encountered MT. George used Royal Cord tires and they stood the hard test without sIng,e pit of trouble, Atlanta air being carried from start to finish and being in the tires when the car arrived back here. An other feature which showed the economy of operation is the amount of gas used, the trip showing an average of 16 1-3 miles per gallon. Five quarts of oil were used for the round trip.

One on His Honor

From the Rochester Times.
 "A police magistrate in Cleveland was disposing, of cases at the rate of about two minute. with great exactness and dignity, being judge. jury and attorney all in one.
 "Then you are sure you recognize this linen coat as the one stolen from you?'
 "Yes, your honor." How do you know it is yours?'
 You can see that it is of, peculiar make, your honor," replied the witness That is the way I know it.''
 Are you aware, sir" shouted the jus tice, turning to closet back of him and producing similar coat, that there are others like it?'
 Indeed I am," replied the witness, still more placidly.~>"I had two stolen

The feat of Homer Georges 10,000-mile Chalmers Sx-3O car in making such a remarkable record from Atlanta to Knox vile as was accomplished last week is one of the sensations of southern motor ing. It has been talked of in all auto circles because of the fast time made and the rough condition of the roads It is generally conceded to be better than the records made by the same car from Atlanta to Knoxville and from Atlanta to Jacksonville.
 In this last drive the little Chalmers was called upon for a greater proof of it's stamina and quality than ever before, as hundreds of holes filled the road, while much of the driving was through

Price of the Times

From the New YOrk HeraId.
 Because of the scarcity of paper the London Times has raised its price to 4 cents. One hundred years ago, in the taxation following Waterloo. it was IA cents. equal to 40 cents now. Poor men did not read it; most of them then could not read anything; it was taken in'' at public houses and by the wealthy. The price dropped as the newspaper tax low cred and finally removed. to 6 cents in 1861, and stayed there 62 years. It's fluc- tuations reflect English history like the price of consols.
