NEGRO AUTO RACE ID bE b|G AFFAIR Six Daring Smokes" Will Battle at Fairgrounds
 on July 4

Perhaps the greatest racing event ever staged by negroes anywhere in the South. is slated to take place here, July 4th when six of the leading negro pilots in the country will participate in the automobile races at the Alabama State Fair grounds.
 The races will be held under auspices of the Birmingham Colored Automobile club, headed by w. B. Blackmond, whc believes he can easily smash the track record. while much is feared from his brother, who shipped in here Monday from Minneapolis, Minn., with his Mer- cier. after having cleaned up the sweep stakes in that city, Tacoma and Seattle Washington, the first of last month. Pilots from Florida, Texas, Louisiana Tennessee and Minnesota will enter the contest. Blackmond will represent Ala bama.
 The auto races will consist of three heats, each having six entries. and while the program is completed, 1t is definitely known that six of the fastest local colored motorcyclist', will be entered ir the preliminaries.

Ye gods and little minnows, but the carnage was awful! Four straight losses on the home grounds and only two victories in the last nine games at Redwood naturally started the anvil chorus to working yesterday after- noon.
 Slap is getting his bumps pretty regularly now. Friday he allowed II hits and runs in 6 "a innings and yesterday he was again touched up for II hits and [ runs in 2-3 innings. Ballmer did much better, but crumbied in the last two stanzas.
 Al Ellis made a great hit with the fans when he went in and pitched three and one-third innings without allowing a man to reach first. Al had lots of smoke and, furthermore, he put 'em over the plate.
 For 10 years Moley has been crit.- cized for not jerking his pitchers when they apear to weaken, but he sticks to his policy of leaving them in till the game is gone a-glimmering Ths chubby one told us that he didn't have enough hurlers to be changing them every time they showed signs of crack
 ing. Moley figures there's no sense Tn using up a fresh pitcher, but like tho
 fans, we disagree with him on this
 When the first five men up hit safe or when the first three men up hit safe, for that matter, 1t looks to us like the derrick should be used, pro- vided. of course, there's still some chance to win.
 With Morrison on the hill today chances for a Baronial victory appear to be very bright. Worry has won eight of his II games.
 The Pelicans spread gloom over the league by trouncing Nashville in both ends of double bill. %Babe" Roberts who worked out with the Barons ir
 practice season, outpitched Decatur iii the first, While Hub" Perdue served the goose eggs in the second engage ment
 The Mobile Bears have been further strengthened by the addition of Guy Tutwiler, former Birmingham boy who played with them several years ago. Tutwiler is wicked hitter when in shape.

1etics Tom Sheehan, old Atlanta pitcher, has just returned from over seas and made his bow before Cracker fans yesterday when he relieved Boone after that youngster had been bom- barded by tho Chick sluggers.
 If the report that Johnny Bates has been awarded to Pittsfield is true. Chattanooga has lost her best ball player. Bates drove in more runs than any two men on the team during tbs past month and his departure win hurt StraEg's chances for the first diyi- sion.
 Charlie Hall. former golf instructor at the Country club, is participatirg 6 in the inter-al'ied games at Paris where the old Scotch pastime forms part of the athletic programme. Golf. CTS from England. France and Ire United States will compete.
 Bernsen got the longest single seer at Redwood in many day in tha' first game Bernie's drive came with, in yard of going over the right ficlt fence, but Gleason played 1t to "BanK' and held the runner at first. Incl. dentally Bernie drove in three of tn, five runs made by Moleys men in tn, two games. Steve hit once in tn, pinch, sending Eddie across Steven son has walked five times in the las five games.
 Pat Duncan is a wonderful fielder Patricia" cut Hengeveid's drive in tn. first game down to two bags when | looked good for homer. In the sec ond contest Pat brought the crowd tf

tomorrow, was caused tonight by the failure of Adam Empie. secretary of the Army, Navy and Civilian Board of Boxing Control and w. A. Gavin, member of the executive committee, to leave for New York on the train they intended.
 Empie and Gavin left at II o'clock tonight, but because they will not ar rive in New York. until 5:30 o'clock to- morrow afternoon it will be impos- sible, they said, to hold a meeting of the legislative committee of the box ing control board until Friday. The selection of the officials will be for mally agreed upon at a meeting and after being ratified by Major A. J. Drexel-Biddle, president of the organ ization, Tex Rickard, promoter of the fight, will be authorized to announce the decision.
 distinct surprise was caused
 today when it was definitely nn-
 nounced that there would be three
 officials, two judges and n referee,
 to decide the contest. Both Will
 lard and Jack Kearns, manager of
 Dempsey, had declared they were
 opposed to the three-man system.
 WilIards consent was obtained
 this morning, while Kearns agreed
 to the proposal at conference
 held this afternoon.
 While no official announcement has been made. it was learned that the of ficials likely to be chosen are Jack Welch, veteran referee of San Fran cisco; Bill Brown of New York and Ollie Record, official referee of the Toledo boxing commission. under whose license the Willard Dempsey match will be staged. Pecord is being considered in the capacity of referee, it was said, while Brown and WeIch are expected to be chosen the judges.
 Therefore the question has been definitely decided" Rickard said.
 T can state there will be two judges and a referee. Both men have agreed to this, will make formal announce ment of the appointment as soon as I have been notified by the boxing con- trol board"
 TATE ALMOST OUT Dempsey. who knocked out Sergeant Bill Tate, his giant negro sparring partner Sunday, all but knocked hil., out again today.
 Tate boxed the first of six rounds that the challenger stepped in rota- tion with the Jamaica Kid, Jock Ma lone and himself He escaped damage in the first round. but when it came his turn to face Dempsey in the third, the challenger stepped into a clinch and snapped over a left hook to the chin that dropped Tate to the canvas. Trainer Deforest picked him up, bat promptly called time when Dempsey started to put him down for the sec ond time. Willard boxed eight rounds with his four sparring partners. but did not ex- tend himself except in the two sessions with Walter Monahan, who was se- verely shaken up with right and left handlers to the chin. The champion said he did not care to unnecessarily punish his sparring partners.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
JIse for Old Tires

To the Editor of The Age-Heraid.
 Will you allow me, through you, to request the owners of automobiles to no longer discard, without profit their old tires, castings or inner tubes, but to give them to the Anti-Tuberculosis associatio for the benefit of our nurs- ing service.
 The Liberty Tire company, 612 south Twenty first street, have generously undertaken to receive all such material on our behalf without cost to us. There is no reason why this campaign agains' waste should not result in more hun- dreds of dollars for anti-tuberculosis work. even than the very successful tinfoil campaign shows. Our great ana urgent need should be known to every one. Thanking you for all publicity whicn you can legitimately give to tnis ap- GEORGE EAvEs,
