CHARLIE CHAPLIN AS
SOLDIER |NV|CORATOR
IN. E. A. Special to The world.)

IN. E. A. Special to The Worid.)
While many Americans have never
been satisfied because Charlie Chaplin
didn't get into the British army, the
English seem to have, been satisfied
with the service he has rendered. At
least the London Express says this.
Charlie Chaplin is the man WIN
cheers up the troops in France. Think
OF battalion coming out of the line,
covered with mud, worn out through
broken sleep, easily fatigued because
their muscles have grown slack
through insufficient exercise, frowsy
and dirty. If you could hear the great
roar of laughter that bursts from those
tired men when Charlie Chaplin shut
files into the film with his queer half
jump half-jerk of walk, you would
feel that the man who can bring laugh
ter back to those men has done them
a great service"

 o'clock this afternoon should be thrill
 Ter.
 Neither team has any record thus
 far upon which to base prediction as
 to the result but each has enough vet
 erans and seasoned players in their outfits to make 1t a 50-50 proposition.
 The student bodies of the rival insti- tutions are much larger than usual and there has been plenty of good mate rial from which to pick.
 Owing to various war activities ths athletic associations from Howard and Birmingham-Sout have not adver- tnsed the game as much as usual, but this fact will not detract one iota from it's interest. for this battle is recognized as the big one for each eleven and it is looked forward to by the students with all the eagerness with which University of Alabama and Auburn alumni formerly looked for ward to the annual clash between the Crimson and White and the Orange and Blue before some narrow-minded fac ulty member butted in and broke up the Thanksgiving entertainment. The lineup for Birmingham-S South ern is as follows: Ellis or Norton. right end; Scarbrough, right tackle |DeYamfort, right guard; Hatcher, cen ter; Green, left guard; Captain Haynes, left tackle; Osborne, left end; Baty
 quarterback; Shine Montgomery. right
 halfback; Green, left half; Miller. full back.

Ban Johnson is a mighty shrewd fel- low-but even this shrewdness did not prevent friends from playing a first class joke on him.
 The American league president, an en- thusiastic huntsman, went quail hunting couple of years ago with Charlie Conis- key and some other Chicago sportsmen. On the way good natured argument arose as to who was the best shot. John son chiwed in and jokingly declared he could outshoot the crowd. Then the to make small bets. the shooting score of the first day to decide the argument. Johnson normally is splendid shot. But his first shot that day was com plete miss. And all through the day Johnson experienced dismal failure while Comiskey and the others had no trouble in bringing down nice strings of quail.
 At nightfall every member of the party had bagged fair number of quaiEex- cept Johnson. And he didn't have one bird to show as result of more than dozen shots.
 Johnson paid his bets. but that night in camp be noticed that whenever he mem toned his failure to bag a bird there was suppressed laughter. Finally he de- cided upon an investigation. Examina- tion of the first shell showed him why he had failed showed him that someone in the party capefully had. extracted the shot from his shells and had substituted sand.
 Those who claim that ball players are eccentric individunals, and as tempera- mental as prima donnas, point to "Siim" Sallee's desertion of the Cardinals in islf as an excellent example.
 The Cards and Cubs were stopping at the same hotel in New York, while the Cards were playing the Giants and the Cubs engaged in a series with Brooklyn. The Cardinals were living on the Ameri- can plan. whereas the Cubs were usipa an la carte bill of fare.
