Mrs. Hurd and Miss FoWnes Furnish Feature Match
 of the Day

l Cleveland O., October 5.--Miss Alexa Stirling of Atlanta, the title holder had little difficulty today in winning her first round match in the national wom-
 ans gold championship tournament al Mayfield, defeating Miss Miriam Burns. ] the sixteen-year-old Kansas City girl, 6 I to f. Miss Stirling had a little trouble the first few holes, but after that the result was never in doubt. Mrs. J. V, Hurd. former English cham pion, and Miss Sara Fewnes, ~e.row Pittsburger, furnished the feature match ] of the days play, Mrs. Hurd being the winner 1 up in twenty holes. The two | were even at the end of the eighteenth 1 h ole, and when they drove off from No. 1 tee for the second time they had large gallery following them. The nine teenth hole was halved in six. Miss l Frownes' third shot on the twentieth 1 hole cost her the match, her approach being short and the ball stopping m one l of the sand pits. She made a great bid | to halve the hole when she got out of 1 the green about IS feet from the pin on
 her fourth. Mrs Hurd was very close oD her putt, and it was up to Miss Fownes
 to put a long one. The cards: 1 Out:

mter-Church Grid League Is Formed
Four SouthSide Churches Join New Athletic Association.
 Head Coach Appointed

An inter church athletic association among the boys of the religious denomi- nations located near Five Points was organized yesterday at a meeting of the executive committee representing the churches. Mass athletics with the boys from the various churches playing on the same teams is the programme to be followed by the association, suffi- cient number of teams to take care of all the candidates will be organized each season.
 A call has been issued for all the boys desiring to play football to report this afternoon at 3:30 at Magnolia Park. The entire group of candidates will be divided into two squads. A varsity and scrub team will be selected from each group. These teams will play each other for practice and instruction, and on occasions when outside teams are played an all-varsity eleven will be picked from the entire aggregation.
 H. M. ("Cupid") Powell. old Alabama star tackle, has been engaged as head coach. Ex-football men in the city who are interested in the boy welfare of the community will be corraled to assist him. pr. Randolph, Dr. Edmonds, Sax Crawford, Claud Estes. and Pete Smith

affairs with Birmingham Southern and Howard are looked forward to each year by men of Alabama as two of the best preparatory games played on the campus. For this reason, keen interest is felt over the two remaining games before the big ones begin. Another cause that makes the followers of the thin red line" anxious over the game this Saturday is to see if the team has profited materially by it's experience with Marion last week.
 At present it looks as though the same lineup as has been used in prev ious games will be used against the Birmingham team, with probably Hova : ter shifted to quarter. Hovater made his first appearance this year in the game with the Marion Cadets last Sat urday. being sent in during the game for half.
 Crowds of Alabama supporters are out on the field every afternoon watch = ing the team in it's work, and yell prac- tices are frequent occurrences around the university. The old Alabama spirit is taking hold better this year than last and all of Alabama stands solidly behind her team in defeat or victory.

Freddie BoOrde,
 1 Atlanta Boxer NowWith BAG.

Freddie Boorde, Atlanta boxer, has de.
 cided to rpake Birmingham his homs from now on, and accordingly he chased himself around to the Athletic Club and looked up Tommy Tompkins, with whom
 he cast his fortunes as fighter From
 now on Freddie will be listed as B. A. |C. fighter instead of an Atlanta represen-
 tative.
 Boorde is a featherweight fast, hard hitting little scrapper He has done well
 in the fight game, only leaving Atlanta because of hunch that he can do better in a big city. Leaving Atlanta, he came on over to the city and now he's,
 Birmingham fighter, one who would be
 credit to the athletic standing of the city.
 Tommy Tompkins states that Boorde IS as likely looking prospect as he has had in long time. Boorde worked out with Sailor Dixon at the B. A. C., yester- day and showed up mighty well against his heavier opponent.
 BoOrde has been matched with Ed Lake in the semi-finals match for the B. A. c. entertainment next Tuesday. October IF. Duke is the amateur champion of the feather- weight class of AnnistOn. l There are now four really first-class l fighters at the B. A. C., Dummy Bar
 rington, peer of Dixie welterweights;
 Sailor Dixon, mighty good middie-
 weight fighter; Jack Brady, fast light weight; Freddie Boorde, the new feather weight
 1 Boxing in Birmingham Is due for bis 1 boost this season. Local fans are in iins | for some mighty good bouts this year, l as witness the string of real honest 70 1 goodness fighters above.

Two More Small Battles Remain
 On Ala. Schedule
RxLACk FIREMAN

University. October 5. - (Special)- Work is progressing nicely on the Alabama scrimmage gridiron, and Coach Scott is smoothing out many of the wrinkles in the team, preparatory to the big games of the season which will soon be entered upon.
 Alabama has two more games which do not count in the S. I. A. A. before she encounters her first team of equal rank. On Saturday of this week the Crimson Tide will meet the lads from Birmingham m-Southern on the campus, and on next Saturday the eleven from Howard College will try their hands with the powerful Crimson machine.
 The game with Birmingham South ern is now engaging the interest of Alabama, and speculation is rife as to what score Scotts outfit will roll up against the Smoky City team. It vii, be remembered that Alabama defeated the Birmingham boys by a score of only 27 to last year, that being the first game of the season. Alabama $ policy heretofore has been to increase her scores in her first four games of the season, but she has already de parted from that precedent this year in the two games played, so no justifiabie assumption as to the outcome Satur- day can be based on that score.
 The youngsters from the Magic City are sure to put up a game fight, for the

 Kauff and Toney told the jury of of fers made them by Zimmerman to throw games. Each said he refused the offer and reported it to McGraw and Stoneham. The latter two confirm- ed the testimony of the players.
