MOODY BIKE RACE
 ID BE HELD SOON Speed Fest to Be Held on Labor Day-Valuable
 List of Prizes

Plans are now being completed for the Moody road race to be held Monday, Sep tember 1. This race promises to be the biggest and best bike race ever held in Birmingham not only from the stand point of importance, but also from the standpoint of riding talent to enter in the race.
 Many local stars have expressed their intention of entering to compete for the valuable list of prizes to be awarded to the winners of the race. These prizes have been awarded through the national cycle trade directorate and by separate concerns Two valuable gold watches are to be awarded, and many other suit able prizes are to be given, including high-class bicycle equipment.
 Although there will be only one race, two kinds of machines may be used. IT ose who so desire may use strictly stock machines, and will be given lib- eral handicaps over those with the reg ular racing bikes. This is a new ex- pertinent in the racing game at Birming- ham, but MT. Moody believes that it will prove a success. In order to show com plete fairness to those handicapped. a time prize will be awarded to the one finishing the course in the least time.
 The promoter of the race has decided upon the Avenue F course for the race. The start win be made from the Stand ard oil company, on Avenue F, and the course will continue to the Elmwood cemetery, then back to the starting point. The distance of the race will be live laps, practically five miles.
 Entries for the race will be received at D. R. Moody's bicycle store, or at any other bicycle dealer in the Birmingham district. Full particulars concerning the race may be gotten from MT Moody

 CREDITABLE GAME


 CREDITABLE GAME
 Lefty" Sigman occupied the mound for the visitors and although he wasn't swatted for any great number of hits he gave them up at the very wrong time for his team, and therein lies the for only seven blows during the nine innings and on any ordinary occasion, and against any ordinary team, would have come out on the fat end of the score
 He had a lot of stuff on the ball. and except for two innings, when the creckers scored their three runs, was invincible. He developed a momentary wild streak in the second frame, which coupled with an error by Stevenson allowed the Crackers to break the ice. Tom Sheehan did the twirling for the locals, and up to the ninth inning, had the Barons eating out of his well known hand. He gave up one lone hit for the first eight innings, this a single by Ellis in the fifth.
 The big left fielder is very prone to breaking up ball games, and this is not the first no-hit affair that he has ruined for an aspiring twirler Tom had perfect control and until the ninth when he eased up a trifle, the Barons never had a chance to, cross the platter.
 When last seen here, the Barons had Duncan in center and Fisher in right. Summa in center, seems to be good ball player. He is very fast on his feet, a wonderful fielder, and takes nice cut at the pill.
 In the second inning. the Crackers scored their first run. Mayer dropped lucky hit just back of short, that Stevenson, Webb and Ellis debated over and which finally fell safe. Styles and Dykes were both walked, and after Griffin had gone out, Mayer scored when Stevenson messed up Higgins easy grounder.
 The Crackers added two more in the eighth. Galloway beat out an infield hit to second was sacrificed down by Damrau, stole third, and scored on Herndons long double to right. Mayer flied out to Summa, and Herndon took third after the catch. The left fielder scored when Styles busted a. sharp single to left. This ended the Crackers scoring. The Barons. by a belated but vain rally. attempted to tie the score in the ninth, and fell short by two runs

 When A. K. Macomber decided to quit racing, Ross jumped in with a s75.0Oo bid for his three stars-Motor Cop War Pen nant and War Marvel. He got them. and he has never regretted his bargain of the three, Motor Cop alone having been really consistent. The other two haven't shown much so far. But they may round into winning form before the summer is done. Or perhaps, like some other great racers, they may show nothing until their four-year racing.
 The stable that Ross has assembled has cost him over $l50,000 But in the time since he has owned those seven truly greats of the turf world his purse win nings have been amazing, while he has won hugely in bets on his own stee61s. And it must be remembered that not oha of the seven is really through as a run. ner yet, and the group perhaps will win s350000 or more for Ross before they are retired for all time.

STARTERS FAILS

For many years Smathers was a har. ness horse enthusiast. He decided to en- ter the running game. His first move was to buy McChesney the most famous horse of his tin1e Sma athers paid $40,00l for him. He spent more than $2O00 900 for other great thoroughbreds. He hired the famous Sam Hildreth to train for him.
 But fortune failed to smile upon SatherI just as it had failed to smile upon Thom- and the others. And Smathers finally quit the turf game a $250000 loser
 But Ross has smashed tradition so far. Practically every purchase he has made has been money maker. He owns today seven of the greatest race horses in the world and they have earned him four times the money he spent for them. And Ross q real plunger when his own horses are concerned, has amassed a fortune in winning wagers.
 His first buy was Cudgel, ranked as the handicap king He paid s25, 900 for the racer. but Cudgel already has won nearly three times as much as he cost Ross And Cudgel is still valuable as a cam paigner and should, after his running days are 6one earn many thousands in stud fees.
 The sum of $27,5 800 was paid by Ross for Billy Kelly. And the Kelly horse all most immedia tely afterward became the turf sensation of 1918. He won one stake after another, and from the time Ross acquired him until the end of the year

patch from Washington, where he has
been for some time on business, sug-
gesting his name in connection with
the United States senatorship from
Georgia next year
The suggestion is said to have origi-
mated with some of Mr. Randolph's
Geofgia friends in Washington, for
Mr.. Randolph himself has said moth
ing about it, even to his closest
friends here. and their first informa-
ton came through this Washington
dispatch.
Mr.. Randolph has always taken a
prominent part in Georgia politics.
but always in behalf of friends, and
never for himself lie has never ask
ed for an office or even suggested that
he would like to have one; but he has
been of material assistance to person
al friends who were in the running
He is widely known over the state
and. regardless of what may or may
not develop as a result of the sug-
gestiOn, it will be a subject of much
interesting speculation.
