 ID BE HELD TODAY
Events Begin at 10 O'Clock. NOrwOd Boulevard Se-
 lected as Course

The Edwards bicycle race will be pulled off today. and judging from the large amount of interest shown, the race will be attended by a big crowd of local bike fans. The entry list of the race is large, and some close fin- ishes are predicted by the local bike experts.
 There will be three races, beginning at 10 o'clock. These three races will be five miles each. Two will be for the whites and one for the negroes. Suitable prizes have been arranged for each race.
 The united cycle trade directorate has furnished many good prizes, in- cluding gold watches, watch sets, bike equipment and other valuable articles. Besides these prizes, T. M. Edwards, the promoter, has procured 30-pound turkey. which he will award to the time prize winner of the big race.
 The cream of the local riding talent has entered in the race. It is thought that the city title will be decided in the speed events today. Ralph Hughes and John Bailey are the ones who will probably stage the real fight for the time honors. These two worthies have had many hard race together and have broke about even in all previous contests. Experts are predicting d hot time between the two today. Many oth- CT riders have entered, and good races are promised all around.
 The first race will begin at 10 o'clock this morning. The course of the races is the Norwood boulevard. A cordial invitation is extended to all local bike fans to attend the race.

BIRMINGHAM T "

Stallings Gives Out Figures on Associations in Other
 Southern Cities

The report of the international com mittee of the Young Mems Christian as- sociation at it's recent convention in De- troit was significant in many respects, V said w. S. Stallings, general secretary of the Birmingham Y. M. C. A, who has returned from that city, where he took an active part in the big convention of associations of North America.
 The citizens of Birmingham will be especially interested in that portion of the report of the international committee giving comparative figures relative to the five largest cities of the south. The membership in these cities is as follows:
 Memphis. 1914; Nashville. 17S6; At lanta, 1863; Richmond, 2107; Birmingham 2220
 The number of men and boys placed in employment by these cities gives Mem phis, "A; Atlanta. 22; Richmond and Nashville. none, and Birmingham; 1493
 Tn the educational department Bir- mingham leads with 115; Memphis, Rich mond and Atlanta. none, and Nashville SC. On account of the war and the draft of all young men over IS years last year in placing them in the colleges, the edu- cational department of the association was min,mized
 Birmingham leads the other southern
 
 enrolment of 2S9; Memphis, 1S1; Nash vile, 93; Atlanta. 105 and the figures for Richmond not given.
 The matter of expense for each asso- citation is one of interest and again in- dictates that the Birmingham association, in producing the largest results of any association in the south, has cost less thar the other larger associations. The eypense of the association in Memphis was S60. 200 at Atlanta, $S4, 200; at Nash vile SS7 690 at Richmond, $54, 200; at Bir- mingharn, s41 400.
 Birmingham is one of the 34 asso- citations iii the United States which is promoting in large way community work among boys, and the work done in this city in the four community centers IS looked upon as model for other cit ies to follow. The board of directors Of the local association are planning to extend this work and make it perma- nent."
