'Your letter of the 18th instant is at
hand. In reply we beg to say that al
ter a considerable amount of discus
sion, it seems wiser not to allow the
Chapters to give their knitted gar
ments to individuals. This seems a
hard ruling perhaps, but when we real
ize that there are men suffering IN
France for the lack Of a warm gar
ment, and realize that our men can
get plenty of warm clothes here at
home, it seems as if we must waive
sentiment for this course. When our
linen are on the other side garments
will be distributed to them in case OF
need. We may be very sure that they
will not be without warm clothing.

big match. He Immediately wired the Alabama State Fair management that the match could be staged here. The yes apswer went back quick and as q result the big event was cinched. The race will be in three heats of 10 miles, IS miles and 25 miles,
 Oldf1eld will pilot his new wonder car, the Golden Submarine with which he broke all worlds dirt track records at St Louis in July. This car has shown 115 miles an hour on the speed way and faster than any car ever con ceived on the mile tracks. It is a freak in every way, being completely enclosed and shaped like an egg. Chevrolet will drive his record car, the Frontenac, with which he has shown the way to DePa1ma all the season, and in which he broke the American 1o0-mile record at Sheepshead Bay last week by doing the century with an average speed of no miles per hour. His fastest time was at the rate of 119 miles per hour.
 The match will be a sensation in every way, and Birmingham will be the first city to see the two on a mile track since that memorable match back in 1905. It will be the two great est champions of the word against each other and thousands are sure to flock to the fairgrounds from all over the state for the event and the other big shows of the fair. The match certain ly makes Saturday a rare bargain day.

Chicago, October 2.--With the ar rival tonight of the first out-of town contingent for the worlds series the prices of tickets for the three Chi cago games were sent skyward by scalpers, who insist they will be able to supply purchasers who failed to get seats through the regular channels.
 Although the reserved seat tickets and the box seats will not be dis tributed to purchases until Thursday. scalpers are accepting deposits on or ders and are asking $50 for $5 box seat for three games and $35 for stand seats which sold for $1.50 each. What system the spectators are using in their attempt to obtain tickets is pug zling officials of the Chicago Amer jeans, as all tickets are registered and numbered and the applicants will be obliged to call personally for their all lotment. A Chicagoan who baked at the prices demanded by scalpers in- serted an advertisement in news paper today offering $20 for two grandstand seats for the first two games.
 Samuel A. Ettelson, corporation counsel, joined the fight with Presi- dent Comiskey of the Chicago club against scalping. Ettelson will confer with Chief of Police Schuettler tomor- row for the purpose of enlisting the aid of the police.

Back to nature" that's where Bar ney Oldield. the master driver of the world, and Louis Chevrolet, the speed way champion of 1917, have gone. They are to race for the dirt track cham pionship in Birmingham Saturday, Oc- tober IS, as the big, last-day feature of the Alabama State Fair. And the match promises to be the most thrill- ing, spectacular and nerve-tingling ever contested in the south.
 Dirt track racing by hundred mile an-hour automobiles is the last word in the spectacular. It furnishes more sensations than any other form Of sport In the world. Speedway racing Is as tame as marbles in comparison The whizzing, whirring, dashing jug gernauts of speed are ever in sight. are ever tearing at the hearts of spec tators; are ever chasing chills up ana down spines. And especially so when two such great champions as Oldheld and Chevrolet meet
 Fresh from three wonderful triumphs over Ralph DePalma, Dario Desta and the other famous speedway drivers, Louis Chevrolet is making an effort to gain the worlds championship by defeating the old master, Oldfield, at the one kind of racing at which Bar ney has never been beaten. Back in the faraway days of 1905 Chevrolet and Oldfeld met in the most famous race of that age at Empire City, New York, and Barney came away winner. Since they have never met on dirt track, but the rivalry between them has been growing and piling up until now they have determined to settle it for once and for all.
 In New York last week, Homer George, formerly of Birmingham, se- cured the signatures of the two for a

though the details of the system Tor checking the tickets are being Kept secret, I have been told enough to convince me that scalping is going to be done at a great risk. Any person buying tickets from scalpers is in dan- ger of having them taken up at the gate"
 Ettelson said he did not believe the police had power to interfere with scalpers operating in hotels, but he insisted they would be driven off the streets. He declared that a zone would be created around the ball park so only ticket holders would be able to gain entrance.
 Purchasers of the 1S,O0O bleacher and pavilion seats, which will be placed on sale Saturday, will be obliged to pass through a long wire cage entering the park immediately after buying tickets There Will be no turning back. The reason for this is to prevent purchasers from getting tickets and then mingling in the crowds to resell them.
