PAINTERS MEET MANDY
 COMMODORES SATURDAY

The Partners of Birmingham-Souther will play some of their hardest games of the 1920 season Saturday, when they journey to Nashville to clash With the Vanderbilt Commodores
 Coach Charlie Brown will work his athletes hard this week in preparation for the game Signal practice, defensive tactics and scrimmaging will constitute the majority of the work The team will be greatly weakened by the loss of Bob Rowe, star end who was knocked out for the rest of the season against the Hamilton Aggies Sat urday when he suffered broken col- lar bone.
 l It is uncertain who will be promoted to Rowe's position at end. Baker played 1 the position during the remainder or
 Saturdays game. Then there's pos
 sihility that Staton might land the berth ] but Staton is a backfield man and he might be used in that department. Staton played end part of Saturday game.
 Reports from the Commodore camp
 have it that the McGuganites are not
 taking the game with the Partners llght- | ly, Gut are training hard for the tiit.

 Another bill which has passed the sen- ate makes an appropriation of $57,o0 available during the next three years for, the construction of a mineral research laboratory at the university. The federal government recently located at the uni yersity a branch for the study of min- erals this being the only one south of the Ohio and east of tbe Mississippi rivers.

 Another approprl lation bill which has passed the house provides additional funds of s1,5O0 for each county high school This appropriation was contem- plated by the educational code of last year but was not provided due to the elimination of all appropriations from the code.
 Other appropriations include $3O,000 a year for the law enforcement depart- ment and s17,5C0 year for the child welfare department, $50,00) for the spe ciar session of the legislature, SI6,00O to remove current debt of Alabama Boys Industrial school and s25,o00 for the pur- chase of additional equipment at the same institution I Opponents of the administration have included in the list of appropriations the money which must be paid for the emer- aency registration of women.

CELEBRATION OF
 SUKK0TH FESTIVAL
Services at Local Jewish Places of Worship-FeS-
 tivaI of Thanksgiving

Celebration of the feast of the taber- nacles commenced at sunset yesterday at the local Jewish places of worship and appropriate services were held be- ginning at o'clock. At the Temple Emanu-El. Dr. M. Newfield conducted the services last night and will off, ciate at the services this morning, which will be held at 10:3O o'clock.
 At the Knesseth Israel synagogue, services were held at o'clock last night. There will be two services to- day and tomorrow, morning services at o'clock and evening services at 6 o'clock. Rabbi Jacob l. Mendelsohn will preach.
 During a period of eight days, com mencing yesterday and continuing un- til October ,, the Jewish people will celebrate the feast of the tabernacles or Sukkoth festival of thanksgiving.
 The Sukkoth festival is meant not as q season of self-congratulation on hav- ing gsrnered in the products of the farm or the gains of business, but as time for thought on the larger-scoped social interests of men in the nationa. and international life.
 The Sukkoth festival is the culmi- mating lesson of the series of Jewish holidays of the month. It addresses itself to the facts of life which we might otherwise leave sordid. It widens the horizon of our individual interests. It approves our vacations and labors not when they bring private satisfac- tions, but when they vitalize our com . mon humanity and make us more ef- f!cient in the work upon which depend he veal. the peace and the joy of the community

TO AVERT SHORTAGE
Coal Operators Trying to Produce 12,-
 000,00O Tons Soft Coal Weekly
NRx Assnciated Press

Washington. September 26.-To forestall the possibility of bituminous coal shortage anywhere in the country this winter, coa; operators are bending every effort to attain a weekly output of over 100000 tons of soft coal from now to December 1, said a statement issued to- night by the National Coal Association.
 Deficiency in car supply at the mines has hindered this rate of production dur ing the summer, the association declared, but assurances have been had from the railroad executives that they will live up to the requirements put upon them. With production running at over 12.000, : O60 tons a week the operators calculate that the existing deficiency, due to under production, can be made up soon after December l.

recessed Friday for the weekend, the compilers taking all appropriation bills now pending in the two houses without regard to the probability of their be- coming law.
 Very few of the appropriations are favored by Governor Kilby, and close friends of the administration insist that when the measures reach the governor s desk, if they do, they will receive the closest scrutiny and that no appropris- tion bills which contemplate appropria- tions larger than the public funds which may reasonbly be expected during the remaining two years and three months of the present administration will be permitted to become law.
 The largest appropriation proposed is S5oo.00O for educational institutions. It has the approval of the governor, but there is a provision which says that no part of the funds shall be released until the condition of the state treasury will warrant This bill was offered in the belief that the state treasury will show good balance before the end of the governors term and that any surplus should go to the development of the educational institutions.
 This bill was passed by the senate Fri day with an amendment which provides that $150,000 shall go to the public schools and that the governor may ap- portion the remaining $S50000 among other institutions, including the univer- sity, Polytechnic Institute, Girls Tech nical Institute and College for Women the normal schools and others.
 The second largest appropriation is s100,0OO for repairs and equipment at the insane hospitals. Before the bill passed the house an amendment was made which provided for the release of the fund by the governor only when the condition of the treasury, in his opinion would warrant.
 The next largest appropriation is for

BARUCH NO "ANGEL"
By Associated Press

New York, September 26.-Denial that Bernard M. Baruch has any offi- cial connection with the democratic principal "angel of the democratic campaign was made in a statement. | tonight by George White, chairman of the democratic national committee. It follows:
 Headlines and statements in the newspapers today that B. NJ. Baruch is the principal angel of the democratic campaign do an injustice to the fact. We have no part and never had with Baruch's support of the League to En- force Peace. That was a non-partisan organization dominated by eminent re- publicans. He had legitimate inter- est in the ratification of the league covenant and being non-partisan and | intended to be dissolved before the campaign began, it was a natural ob- | feet to support by any friend of the | league in any party But in no way ] did the democratic campaign partici- | pate in it's funds or benefits
 "Mr Baruch has had no part in con- tributing for the pamphlet or the | newspaper plate republishing Miss | Montague's story, Uncle Sam of Free | dom Ridge
 ! "For the motion picture of the story he had advanced $25.o00 to producer who intended to show it on its merits. | He didn't write the story himself nor anyone connected with the democratic | campaign. MT. Baruch did not hire l Miss Montague to write the story nor | did this committee, but when I read it andt saw it's splendid argument as a | friend of the league he went in to help l produce it. I understand he will not accept any profit. but will get his money That is his affair and not the affair of this committee.
 q know nothing of the Stars and Stripes, except that this committee has nothing to do with it. So far as this committee is concerned, MT. Baruch is not officially connected and he has contributed only $5,OO0. Therefore, he
 can hardly be called the angel of
 campaign which ought to have at least
 $2, 0e0, 900. I wish he were. Any man
 with his record of public service and
 his interest in the worlds great moral
 issue, the league, is very welcome
 supporter of our campaign to any eX-
 tent"

MIDDLE AND FAR WEST TO DECIDE
 NOVEMBER RESULT
,continued from Page One,

ifornia some of the republican leaders admit the intrusion of issues and in- fluences in one or two of the Pacific Coast states particularly California and Washington. which the republican managers counted upon as being safe couple of weeks ago. These influ- ences may cause a revision of their es- inmates.
 These elements of uncertainty have mainly been the result of the activities Of Governor Cox in the coast states. Republican leaders predict a "tempor- cry recurrence" of these conditions when Governor Cox comes to the At lantic Coast states next month.
 WHERE BATTLE CENTERS
 Enough is already known of the plans of the two parties to justify the prediction that the supreme effort to win the presidency, will be made in Ohio. Indiana, Missouri, Kentucky, Iowa, California, Idaho, South Dakota and Minnesota. Republican prophecies that the intensive campaigning which they have inaugurated, in some of the border states notably North Carolina and Tennessee. is likely to throw their electoral votes into the republican col umn. has failed to alarm the democrat ie managers. Their reports from every etate in the south encourage them to -eHeVe that republican ventures in the commonwealths are designed to com rell the opposition to withdraw some of their fighting forces from the really important salients in the contest.
 The democrats place their chief de- rendence for overturnfng the republi- can adventure on President Wilson and Governor Cox. They believe that the President himself will become more important factor in contributing to the final result as the contest progresses Every democratic gun, from those mes sages at the White House down to the verbal sharpshooters on cracker barrel and cart tail, will be centered upon the republican attitude on the League of Nations. Almost every lead CT of importance in the democratic par ty is at present convinced that it is upon this issue the result of the cam paign will finally turn.

this sort is not always effective. Eddie
Cicotte has said that he was thinking
of the little woman in the series last
year, but it didn't seem to do the White
Sox any good AS q matter of fact, we
suspect that the man who wrote the
caption of the Grimes farewell drew
on his imagination.
We don't believe that in private life
anybody calls him Burleigh. It must
be Buck or Bill, or something easy like
that. Still, we would like to believe
the photographer, for then it would be
possible to tell how Grimes turned in
at 9 the night before the battle, leav-
ing note for Mrs. Grimes which read:
'l ou must wake and call me. Burleigh."
Chance for Mr.. Munsey
early in this story lay in the fact that
among the reporters in the press box
were the spondents of The Osaka
Mainichi and The Toxic Nichinichi.
We suppose that ultimately the two
newspapers Will be acquired by Mr.
Munsey, who will combine them in a
publication which viii be known for a
lew weeks as The Osaka Mainchi and
The Toxic Nichinichi Later this will
be smplifed into The Nichinichi, which
Will appear every morning and will in
clude tie best features of both. Writ
ing baseball for a Japanese paper ought
to be very easy. We suppose that all
the jokes about the rubber plants and
the baby carriages of Brooklyn would

The fate of the Cleveland rooter

inning, while he was putting all his

official dartod into the stand with
message for the public. Seeing that
The Cleveland rooter had q megaphone,
he gave it to him.
We are not cutie sure of the exact
wording Of tho message. but it seems
that little girl named Edith May was
lost, or that Edith May had lost a
little girl and that Edith May or the
little GIL should call at the box Office
1t was rather confused. Mr.. Hoban,
on our right, understood the announcer
girl could get one at the box office, and
before we could straighten him out he
had left his seat and five and a half
innings of the ball game.
The confusion arose because the
cro wd did not realize that the Cleve-
land rooter with a megaphone was try
ing to deliver a perfectly neutral mes
sage. When he tried to say Edith
May or "ittlc girl" they thought he
was cheering for jim Bagby, or telling
Larry Gardner to hit it .on the nose
They drowned out his announcement
with shouts of $50 home and die" and
"Oh, you fathCad" and other commcfNs
which seemed uncalled for since there
was no reason to suspect that he was
in any way responsible for the plight
Of the May family, who, as like as not,
are Brooklyn people. He suffered for
his past activities. 1t must have been
that he had called Wambsganss,
Wambsganss' once too often.
