STREET CAR SCHEDULE
QUESTION UP TO BOARD

In response to communication
street committee of council Monday
afternoon referred the matter of
prosecuting the Virginia Railway and
Power company for failure to carry
out the provisions of its charter en-
bodying schedule requirements to the
administrative board for action. Alder

procedure. inasmuch as the board had
taken over the prerogatives of the old
committees. The company has been
fined in police court for failure to
carry out the provisions of the char
ter, and the case is now pending on
appeal to the upper court. The ad-
ministrative board has already direct
ed the city attorney to proceed with
prosecutions of the company upon
every occasion in which it is shown
the schedule is not carried out.
The committee recommended the
opening of Taylor street, from Shep-
pard street and Colonial avenue to the
Boulevard.
other matters acted upon were.
Permitting the Retreat for the Sick
to divert an alley on the property at
Robinson and Mulberry streets. re-

SEVERAL MISTAKES IN TIMING RACERS Durant Is Awarded Third Place - Chevrolet Is
 Placed Ninth

Chicago, June 17.-Revision of the time records made by four drivers in the 25O-mile automobile~ derby at the Chicago speedway yesterday put Cliff Durant third, Eddie Hearne fourth, Louis Chevrolet ninth and Louis Fountaine tenth in the corrected score today.
 DUant and Hearne finished so close together that it was announced that Hearne took third place. Investiga- tion showed that Durant was in front of him by fraction of second and Durant accordingly will get $2000 for third place, while Hearne will cash In $500 for the next best time. K Similar mistake was made in timing Chevrolet and F'ountaine. The change gives Chevrolet $500 for ninth place and Fountaine $500 for tenth.
 Ralph Mulfords time at 15O miles and 200 miles will be recognized as new American records for the distance, according to speedway officials. Null ford severed 150 miles in 1:26:49:4 or seconds better than the preceding record. His time for 200 miles was 1:55 55;11:15, which is 12 seconds faster than ever travelled before on a speed- way in this country.

cured the deadly toehold. Heslasted well under the terrible strain that Zbyszko was administering.
 He refused to give up and when he finally did tell Referee Parry to give the Poll the decision he had to be assisted to his dressing room. He was limping badly and it was appar- ent that he would hardly be able to continue the bout
 Freberg came out for the second fall but when the large crowd saw that he was still limping and would be at the mercy of the Pole, they re- fused to allow the match to continue and 1t was consequently declared off.
 Promoter Brown Parks was con graduated after the match on secur- ing a bout of such calibre. He an- nounced at the conclusion of the first fall that John Olin, a prominent mat artist for his win over Joe Stecher and battling Strangler Lewis to draw. would be matched next Monday night with John Freberg. The Swedish to his clean tactics on the mat and his ability and he will undoubtedly give Olin a great match.
 The crowd last night was one of the best to witness bout in Blr- mingham in years and provided Pro- moter Parks continues to offer matches of this calibre, wrestling fans in this district will not hesitate in attending any of them. It is hoped Promoter Parks will continue to bring only the best men in the game here and thus offer to the red-blooded sports of Birmingham something in the line of wrestling which they have never before had the opportunity to witness

The feat of Ben Tincup in not al- base in yesterdays game at Redwood established pitching record for the Southern league. Only P men faced the Indian ana all were retired.
 Several no-hit games have been pitched in the league for the past seasons but runners always reached first, some advancing to third, as was the case in Ralph Comstock's mo- hit game on Friday against the Nashville Vols. Tincup, however, did not walk single batter or hit one and his teammates accorded him ex- cellent support.
 The fact that Tincup established B Southern league record, however, is not positive. There is some belief that Iva Wilhelm, pitching for the Barons back in 1906 against Montgomery in the Capital City, did not allow run ner to reach first base in his no-hit game Others are confident that one runner reached first base on an error but was the victim of double play. It is certain, however that only 27 men faced the former star of the Barons.
 Tom Rogers, with the Nashville Vols last season, held Chattanooga without a hit. There is also some doubt whether man reached first on the former star of the Vols.
 Tincup's feat is the first of it's kind ever to be staged iA Birmingham. It
