CAPT. BOB SMITH
 GIVEN GOLD WATCH
 BY TRAINING CLASS

Twenty -six members of the trainin z class of Capt. Robert E. Smith, aug mcnted by several guests. entertained the Tutwiler with delightful dinner. followed by party to the theatre. Fol lowing the toasts that were called for by Postmaster Frank C. Shepard, a. D. Fucker, on behalf of the members of the class, many of whom could not be present. presented Captain Smith with a beautiful gold watch as token of the esteem in which he was held by the men whom he had prepared for the training camp.
 Captain Smith organized his training g ciass in Birmingham last summer, fol- lowing the refusal of the war depart ment to take him into active service, after he had tried all of the channels known to man to get into 8 training camp for a commission. and he was very successful from the start. His de votion to the men and the patriotic service that he rendered those who could go when the government would not take him, won their everlastins gratitude. He served them without compensation most efficiently and un stintedly.
 Among those who answered toasts last night at the dinner were: Phil Painter, who introduced Captain Smith, who followed with words of apprecia . tion of the honor that was being shown him; Charles Allen, who Is just back from one of the training camps; Greg ory Johnson, one of Captain Smiths rockies, who did not get away to a camp; Forsythe Gordy, w. c. Kilgore E. c. Robinson A. J. Lamar J. D. Ruck CT, who presented the token of esteem and Jeff Bailey of The Age-Heraid
 Frank Clark, who is now in the navy, but who was one of Captain the class, was not forgotten c. w 1t was moved that telegram be sent him informing him of the vacant chai at the dinner saved for him, and of how he was missed. This happy thought was vociferously applauded.
 Those present at the dinner were Frank C. Shepard, Captain Smith, J D Fucker, w. c. Kilgro, Frank Stephens Allen Henry. A. J. Lamar. Charles A1- len E. l.. Hendricks, Robert Brown L. F. Kleybecker, M, M. Jollit, Clarence Lloyd Gregory Johnson. Phil Painter E. c. Robinson, George Williams, c S. Lawson, Dr. c. $. McElroy J. G Wyatt, Fred Wheeler. G. NJ. Bellsnider Paul Crawford Dick Brown and L. R Bishop,
 It was the consensus of the members present that the former training. class form into club to be known as the Bob Smith club. and that dinner be held every now and then for old tim es sake.

Corbett's s Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES J. coRRErT

Brooklyn Dodgers. From July IS 10 August 20 he did not lose game. He whipped the Cubs, Reds, Phillies and Pi- once
 The remarkable thing about Crimes performance this year is the fact that in 1917 this twirler, while with the Pirates stood out as the worst pitcher in base ball" In that season he lost B straight games and the only thing that halted him from going farther was the close of the season.
 Stanley Coveleslxie of the Indians, owns the 1918 consecutive pitching record or the American league. From July l5 to August he didn't lose game. beating the Yankees three times, the Red Sox, and Senators twice each and the Ath- letics once, giving him total of elgnt straight.
 Reverse records in pitching way are jointly held by Joe Oeschger of the Phll7 lies and Scott Perry of the Athletics Each twirler lost nine games in row during the abbreviated 1918 season Oeschger couldn't win a game from July s until August r, losing three times to the Cubs, twice each to the Dodgers and Cardinals and once each to the Reds. and Pirates. Perry was defeated three times by the Browns twice each by the Senators and White Sox and once each by the Red Sox and Indians.
 A four-cornered tie exists TOT the shue-' out honors of 1918. Jim Vaughn and George Tyler of the Cubs and Walter Johnson of the Senators and Carl Mays of the Red Sox each annexed eight vls- tories during which they kaisomineu their opponents. Of the group, however, Walter Johnson's performance is trifie superior because he pitched more score less innings than did the others. Peculiarly enough, the pitchers wno made the worst record of the year were either stars of yesterday or were re garded as phenoms not so very long ago. Rube Vanguard of the Dodgers, who was the mainstay of his team in 1916. and Joe Oesohger who was expected to fill the Alexandrian gap in the Phillies' ranks in 1918 both lost IS games. Eddie Cicotte, the leading pitcher of the American league in 1917, took an awful fall last year, losing 19 games Tied with him in the matter of total defeats was Scott
 Perry, the Athletic twirler, for whose services the two big leagues nearly went to war.
 Those are only few of the many odd records that the short. but thrilling 1t9S season produced.

Owing to persistent rumors of foul play Solicitor Joseph R. Tate has commenced an investigation of the death of J.

In company with Sheriff elect Harts- ffield he visited the Johns Undertaking establishment yesterday and held up the funeral of the dead man pending further investigation. The officials viewed the body hut it was so badly mangled that it was impossible to detect any evidence 2 of foul play.
 When asked about the case last night Solicitor Tate said "As yet We have found no clue that would warrant the assertion that Whitby was murdered, put from the fact that he was an important witness in the Sheffield lynching cases and also a witness in noted roppefy case at Tuscumbia, we came to the oplh- ion that thorough investigation as to inc cause of his death was expedient. We are following several clues but at thls time we have no comment to make as 10 whether they will materialize or not, : N Several of the persons indicted TOT the Sheffield lynchings were brought 10 the county jail. These men were vis1teo on the day whitby met his death This with other incidents, prompted the lnVes- tigation. s

SPEAKS AT MANCHESTER

Manchester, December S0.-President Wilson told a great audience in Free Trade hall here today that the United States never would join in any com bination of nations which was not a combination of them all. His declara- tion produced-a great demonstration. Almost every sentence the President uttered i'll this speech was received with applause and cries of hear, hear" and it was plain that this British audience regarded the speech as most import ant one.
 The whole tone of the Presidents s address was interpreted in American quarters as an additional indication that his conference of last week with Premier Lloyd George and Foreign Secretary Balfour had revealed the United States and Great Britain on quite common ground from which the peace negotiations could proceed with the two nations standing together on the fundamentals
 The speech also was taken as an in- dication that much of the important de- tails of the peacei conference had been |arranged.
 To American eyes the scene in the Free Trade hall was comparable 10 that of a session of political nation
