 Out for Win
 OUer Visitors
By JOHN L. HOLMES

With the return of real foot ball weather interest in the gridiron contest is sure to rise. Birmingham-Southern Panth- CTS are licking their chops in anticipation of the morsel they intend making of the Spring Hill bunch, with whom they battle at Redwood park at 3:30 this afternoon.
 Last year the Hillians defeated ;he Partners by brilliant forty-yard drop kick, the final score being 3 to Q. The Catholics will be minus the services of their star quarterback, Murray, which will place them at a slight disadvant- age when they meet the Partners O. day. But they will have 1t on .he To- calls when it comes to ends
 The Hilltop lads are this year under the efficient leadership of Moon Du- cote, who is known all over the country as one of the greatest fullbacks over produced. No doubt he has instilled good deal of his gridiron cunning in the make-ups of his youthful chargeA which they will use this afternoon in a mighty effort to duplicate their feat of last year and humiliate the Pan- thers.
 And yet Birmingham Southern can also boast along this line, as their chief mentor, Charlie Brown, former Sf f1 r ze second in command, Jenks Gillem, re- puted as one of the best pigskin bcot- CTS the south has ever seen, form splendid staff of instructors. I'he showing of their bunch so far goes to prove that their coaching has not been in vain.
 Hardly story can be written about any gridiron contest in which Birn .ng- am-Southern takes part without r,en- tioning their captain, Eddie Lewis. He is deserving of all the credit given him, for he stands out prominently in all affairs he figures in. He is steady ground gainer and a most. dependable defense worker. The Panther inc, from tackle to tackle. is flawless. It is doubtful if Slim Nees will start at tackle today, but Big floss" Candy and Coop" Green are in tip-top shape to fill these positions.
 Tanlac Burney has proven himself a very capable field general and he is expected to do big share in directing the attack against the Mobilians today 'Ole Miss" found him hard to down and he played havoc with the Mississippi ans's defense.
 This is Spring Hills first showing in Birmingham, which will be of interest to those who have heard of her record
 A double portion will he cervad fo those who come out to Redwood early today, as the Junior Partners will play the Walker County eleven return game just before the big battle. The junior event will begin at 1880, when three quarters will be played, the final one being played in between the halves of the big event.

SEWANEE HOLDS LAST PRACTICE BEFORE BIG
 BATTLE WITH 'BAMA
Tigers Leave For Birmingham This Morning, With Twenty
 Men Making Trip
By CHARLIE UNDERWOOD

Sewanee, Tenn, October 28. Special D-The last practice of the week was held Thursday afternoon on Hardee field, be- hind locked gates, and twenty strong Tigers leave Friday morning for Birmingham, where they do battle on Satur- day with the Red hosts from Alabama.
 The team will be accompanied by Coaches Abel and Nicholson, Manager Hargrave. the faithful rubber, Willie Six. who has made every trip with Sewa- nee team for years without number, and linemen and eight backfield men are comprised in the players making the trp.
 The game will probably open with Sti- vers at center, Stoney and Satterlee as guards, Skidmore and Elam at the tackle positions, and Conway and Harold Coun- Gil holding down the wings. Quarterback will be in the hands of Cook, with Cap tain Coughlan and Harper at halfs and Guerry at fullback. In case Stiyers should not last throughout the game at center, the coaches will switch SatterIee to the pivot position, and use Letton, Shocks or Benton in his place. Like wise these men will replace other line- men in case of need. Miller and Oakes are ready at a moments notice to take care of the end positions, and no doubt both will get an opportunity to play be- fore Birmingham fans.
 To relieve the backfield, the coach is taking Long of Memphis, Kenneth Coun- cil and Ben Payne from Mississippi and Jim Smith of Birmingham. These men alternate at the positions, and it is i'm possible to designate were they will Dlay

Harding will be formally notified OF
his nomination as the Republican
presidential candidate July %, at his
Northampton home in Mario, Ohio
Gov. Coolidge of Massachusetts
will be notified oi his nomination as
vice president July 81.
The original plan was to notify
Senator Harding OF his nomination
about July IS, but in order to allow
adequate time for the news services
to mail his speech OF acceptance to
all parts OF the country after it had
been prepared, the committee
thought it best to postpone the cere-
monies one week. Although final
plans have not been completed the
Republican nominee is expected to
remain in Washington until few
days before his notification.
The dates for the two notification
ceremonies were decided on today at
conference here, in which Senator

Stump Against G. o. p.

Montreal, June 1o.-The American
Federation Of Labor, through its
newly elected president, Samuel
Gompers, will take the stump in the
1920 presidential campaign against
Gov. Warren G. Harding apd his
running mate Gov Calvin Coolridge,
it was learned here Saturday.
The announcement that the labor
unions would unite its forces against
the Republican candidates shook the
very foundations of the "old guard
camp, and G. o. P. lieutenants from
the United States were doing their
utmost to prevent organized labor
from taking a stand against the Re
publican party.
But their efforts fell short. This
fact became known when Gompers
personally announced that "organlz-
ed labor could not possibly support
candidates presented to the people
by Wall Street, which is openly an
tagonistic to union labor
The veteran American Federation
of Labor chieftain went step furth-
err to announce that both Harding
and Coolridge were on thte BLACK
list"

San Francisco Sunday night in an

King Thinks Clark Has Good
Chance to Win Nomination.

ashington, June Ex-senator
King (Deln) Of Ctah thinks Champ
Clark has good chances of receiving
the nomination OF the Democrats at
San Francisco.
From all parts OF the country,
Senator King said today, Il have ex-
pression3 OF opinion showing the
availability OF Mr. Clark. He is re-
garded as a highly important, If not
a dominating, figure in Democratic
politics.
MANY think he was robbed of the
presidency in 1912, through the de-
lection OF Bryan, and that now his
day has come Many strong influ-
ences would support his candidacy.
Missouri is regarded as doubt
full as we'll as pivotal state, and
MIR. Clark is looked upon as the best
means to wrcst it decisivcly from
Republican control. His fine record
for progressive legislation should
rally the liberal forces to him, while
the old-line Democrats justly regard
him as safe and sane upholder OF
the Jcffersonan doctrines.
The nomination of MIR. Clark
would greatly reduce the danger OF
serious detection in the Democratic
ranks in case a third party ap-
peared.'
