A grea. many people Of tn,
present generation OF Americans
and great many Of the fathers anC
grand fathers of others, came to this
country in the belief that It was 0
better place in which to live thar
any other on the fsce OF the globe
For this reason it seems worth
while for all of us, who still believe
this, to stop and consider things
that might make it less desirable
home. There are those who would
suffer some of the extremist ideas
of Europe to be spread among oul
people here. What sort Of life ID
going on now among people who
have suffered this2 Here is the
picture, as stated in q recent news

Now one must be with one party

unsatisfactory one at best. Viewed
in this way one can readily reach
the conclusion that it will pay ev-

place a virus among Us that in
practical operation results in poison

sleep today in foreign climes. They
made the supreme sacrifice on the
altar of our own country.
Those who come back to us
from the fearful scenes of conflict

done and the consciousness of hav-
ing done and dared all that man
could do and dare.

ANNISTON SPORTS
PREDS LOSE CAME

Anniston, October 2-(SpeeiaL)-Ou weighed between 35 and 40 pounds to the man, the Presbyterian college football team was defeated by the Southern Mil itary academy at Greensboro Friday by a score of F to o. ~ The Preds put up valiant fight against their stronger opponents, and early in the game it looked as if the out come would be in favor of the Annis- ton team, the ball having been carried within three yards of the goal. where it was lost on account of misunderstand- ing on down. Both of the cadets scores were put over in the last period. Within few minutes after the kick off, the Preds had Nthe cadets on their own 10-yard line, where Carmichael broke through the line blocked an at- tempted punt and recovered the ball on the 3-yard line. At this point a mis- understanding arose with the officials on the downs, and a forward pass was attempted and failed, Greensboro recov- ering on the Preds first down. In the same period Sanders carried the ball IS yards across the opponents goal, only to be called back for running out of bounds.
 Both of Greensboro's counters were
  man. A 10-yard run around the Preds left end netted the first touchdown, and a gain through right tackle for 20 yards brought the last.
 For the Preds. Beck gained consist sntly. as did Turner. Carmichael and Summerville played the best game in the line. The locals right guard was found for repeated gains, though the sturdy work of Turner in plugging the hole kept down gains that might have re- suited seriously for the Preds.
 The Greensboro team is composed mainly of former Marion and Auburn men, and averages almost 175 pounds. Frank Allen, who was perhaps the best football player ever seen on the local gridiron when he attended the college here is coach of the cadet aggregation. Coach Wingo prevented from accom- panying the local team, having suffered a serious injury to his ankle in game at Jacksonville last week.

UPSETS OCCUR IN
 SATURDAYS GAMES
By AsseIaiss Pres,

Atlanta, October 12-Southern foot ball teams that were expected to pile up big scores against the supposedly weak rivals proved disappointment to their followers in Saturdays game, while several weak teams, whose driving power had not previously been given serious considerat ton, upset calculations by amazing high scores. The one real upset was virginia's defeat by Mary land State, 1s to 0. Other surprises were the performances of Alabama, Ten nessee and Clemson.
 The South Carolina team held the powerful Georgia Tech eleven on even terms for the greater part of a gruel- ling contest but was beaten, $ to Q by some brilliant individual playing by members of the Georgia machine, near the end of the game. Alabama ran roughshod over the University of Missis sippi, piling up 50 points and showing versatility and strength in attack that surprised even her own supporters, while Tennessee held Vanderbilt to a to 5 tie

INTEREST HIGH IN ENSLEY-CENTRAL
 FOOTBALL BATTLE
Local Teams Meet at Rick wood Park and Are Even ly Matched--Big Game
 of the Season

One of the biggest football games of teams will be played Friday at Rick wood park when the Central High school aggregation meets the Ensley Tigers in their annual football contest This game promises to be a red hot thriller, as both teams are very evenly matched.
 There is considerable rivalry between the two aggregations. These two are old foes, and there is always lots of cain raised when they get together on the football field of battle.
 In the past, Central has usually won from the Tigers, but last year Ensley threw monkey wrench in the dope ma- chinery and defeated the Reds for the first time in the history of the two schools. Of course, there is unusual in- terest in the outcome of Fridays game.
 Central has very promising team this year. Although it lacks a little of the weight which the other highs may have, this team is exceedingly fast and az gresSive. There are several old men back and many new players have donned the Crimson uniform this season. Central has made an excellent showing against every team played this season. The Morgan county game, the only scheduled game yet played this sason. resulted in an IS to victory for the Central aggre- gation. This team has an offensive ability unusual in team of its weight,
 On the other hand, Ensley has quite a team itself. Coach Craig is confident that his boys will triumph when they clash with the Central bunch. Enscy also has a victory credited to them as they won their first game of the season.
 Due to the intense interest in the game a large number of fans will undoubtedly turn out to witness the battle. The student bodies of both schools will be present in force when the whistle blows for the first quarter of this hectic strug- gle.

 "Pn lay to in any amount that the Reds win today's game" said Dorr.
 You're on" was the comeback. wen take s2o00 worth"
 They extracted the cash-and Dorr taking out a certified check for 5000 another for 5000 and 5000 in cash covered their money. And Dorr won.
 Whats your system in playing the races?' Dorr was asked.
 T stay away from handicap races. play horse when he seems ready to win and never let the price whethei it's to 5 or 20 to 1 scare mo off ! watch every horse in every race, notice where he Is at the start, the halfway mark and the finish. If he loses, there may be an excuse for him that won'i be necessary the next time he runs And put my own judgment of a horse against all the tipsters in the world unless the tip comes to me direct from an owner or trainer who tells me when he really intends to win-and a man on whom I can believe"

I thought I could stand as much heat midday and afternoon sun has about wilted me, and I notice that even the policemen, mechanics and the usual hangers around the machines get what little shade they can from the wings or the ships when they are on the ground. My nose is blooming and I feel as if my cheeks were ready to peel. But the glory of being director ot aviation was saive to my blistered face.
 
 The aviation field is busy from morn ing to night for it seems as if every one has got the flying "bug' and actually one has to stand in line like he was trying to draw out or put something in the bank at :50 on a Saturday, or attempting to buy his groceries from the city or through Uncle Sam. It is case of nrst come, first served, for each one gets a number It reminded me of the old days in Paris when one changed buses ne got number and when the next one came going his way he got seat if he had a low number.
 Who do you suppose found on the field on Friday morning? It was none other than my old friend Col. J. P. Gibson, or Hillsboro, who made the famous trip up the Tennessee to Muscle Shoals with, Sec retary of War Baker and his party. it was on this outing that Secretary or the Interior Lane and the colonel began their friendship. Well, Thursday being the colonels roth birthday. he ran down to the fair to celebrate it by taking ride in an aeroplane, but unfortunately was unable to get the chance as all of the available passenger carrying ships were sold out But he bided his time ana showed up early the next morning. IT was a tight to sec him as he stood alons- side of it 6 feet 6 inches tall ready to climb in. He says it beats an automo- bile to death.
 The next man to step forward was Guv v O'Rear of Jasper, the son of my old frienl G w O'Rear, for years moderator of the Walker county Baptist association But he did not get in the plane but in- stead lifted in his two fine sons, Neison aged 14 and George aged F. who like my two boys, Frank Willis, Jr., and Proc- tor Hawthorne, were crazy for rfde They were strapped in side by side and away they flew and expressed them selves as having had a great time when they lit and were being taken out.
 The only other couple I saw double up was a father and daughter. He js/a we'll known druggist and weighs 13S pounds and his daughter weighed so, making a lift of 220 pounds. The pilot would not take them up until nearly sun down as he wanted the air to be heavy

AHu & HOESo named luuolence started him on his way.
 Doris home Is in New orleans-and managing fighters used to be among his occupations. He was the real dis coverer and the developer of Pete Her man. now the champ of the bantams. And he brought many other youngsters from obscurity to fame and a comfort able fortune.
 But Doris luck. up to two years ago. was proverbiaily bad. Nothing would break right for him. Everything he touched turned to dross. And then, of a sudden a change came, remarkable, almost bewildering. Ever since the things, that Remy Dorr has touched have turned to gold for him.
 Back in 1917 Dorr, by slow and care ful method, accumulated a bankrou of $4o0. He aimed for $500 planning to stick 1t into & business partnership, having about made up him mind that the bookmakefs at the various race tracks would get no more of his money.
 And then along came the tempter in the guise of a fellow whom Dorr had once befriended. He had a good thing and absolute cinch." The name of 1t was undolence, a selling plate that wasn't worth more than $4o0 on the hoof. The friend urged-beg- ged--beseeched Dorr to ''bet the limit" Dorr thought it over and decided that $400 in the bank was a whole lot safer than $+00 on a race horse. He decided to stay away from the betting marts that afternoon but once more fate in- tervened for him. A friend hailed him from passing auto. He was going to the track and Remy Dorr had to go along. Kenny went

 After that Dorr became a regular at the Louisiana tracks. Luck stuck with him. He had IT winners out of 20 bets at the Faip Ground track outside of New Orleans-and almost as bulky an average at Jefferson park. Almost every sizeable bet he made found him later on the "Pay-off- line

 Dorr lack the unlimited tankroll of John w. Gates and doesn't make wager of the' Gates size. But Dorr in ratio to his wealth, is plunging at even greater rate than did the King of Betters" back in the old days. And Dorr, like Gates, is willing to bet on anything where there is a sporting chance involved.
