For Good of

r EFT Birmingham do something and A the world knows it.
 No city in the country gets more good advertising free of cost than Birmingham.
 It has been that way from the begin ming. The reason for it is the structural character of what occurs here. Men love to hear of path blazing, of making many blades of grass grow where few had grown before and of new riches found and discoveries made. They love to see that which is still in the making. J The keenest eye is kept on this district by the leading trade journals of the coun- try. Such high authorities in the iron and steel trades as the Iron Age and the Iron Trade Review maintain paid correspon- dents here and receive regular accounts from them of the status of Birmingham iron, steel, coal and coke for publication side by side with the reports from Pitts burgh, New York, Chicago and Cincin- natl.
 The Wall Street Journal, one of the leading opponents of big business in finan- cial commercial and industrial lines has it's Birmingham correspondence by letter
 
 Commerce keeps in daily touch with the industrial situation in the Birmingham district. The New York Commercial omits record of nothing worth while hap pening here in the path of construction and forward progress of industry
 None of them passes Birmingham by The Compressed Air Magazine has ac- accorded many brilliantly illustrated pages to description of the new by-pro- duct plants of the district this year, to the new plate mills at Fairfield and to milling and mining enterprises of various kinds in this section. In it's most recent issue there are several pages devoted to a splendid description of the big nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals and the purposes which it will subserve.
 The Old Colony Magazine, organ of the Old Colony club organization, is sively to Birmingham. It is to be a really fine exposition of the big things going on in the district and their~meaning
 The Scientific American of recent date gave it's color front page to illustration of the start of the international balloon race, out at the, Sloss-Sheffield by-product plant It was the quality of the gas that brought that big event here and the Scien- tific American was interested from scientific standpoint.
 The New York Times and other metro politan newspapers gave whole pages of their illustrated Sunday supplements to the balloon races
 Numbers of trade publications have published articles about the Warrior river, the shipbuilding plant at Mobile and the new industries at Fairfield. The data which they have presented the busi- ness public about these accomplishments has been expert and accurate. They have shown photographs of every form of structural activity in big lines that has taken place All of it free of charge.

 SUPERBAS WERE
 NOT EASY MARKS
Authorities Finish Examina tion of Brooklyn Club of National

New, York, Oct. 2.-Examination of members of the Brooklyn club of the National League by District At torney Lewis of Kings county was completed today with this result:
 The district attorney found that not only had none of the Superbas been approached in an attempt to "fix" the coming worlds series, but that 'it would have been dangerous for gamblers or their representa- tives to make such advances to the new champions of the Naional league"
 Exonerating the Brooklyn players in emphaic terms, the district attor- ney declared he had learned from conversations with the players of the dangerous ground upon which "fixers" would have been treading had they attempted crooked deals.
 President Ebbets and Manager Robinson of the Brooklyn club de- clared after the inquiry, no one connected with the Brooklyn re- sented the investigation, but that ev- cry one connected With the cluD was glad suspicion was removed.

 He sent telegram to MacLay Hoyne of Chicago, states attorney for Cook county, asking that official to send any evidence in his posses sion relating to the fixing of games in anticipation of the worlds se- ries was to be fixed.

 District Attorney Weeks of Mas sau joined in the hunt for Attell to have him tell what he knows of al legged gambling activities under po- lice protection in Nassau county. The latter investigation is said to have resulted directly from the de- velopments in the investigation in Chicago.

ly by the locals.
 The game yesterday was not fair test of the probable strength of the Pine Bluff team since the visitors were not strong enough to force their opponents to a real show of strength The local line showed considerable strength, with Hamilton, captain and center, and member of the 1913 team, flanked on the right by Wick at tackle, who played guard on the last years team, and Arnett, hard hitting end on the other side. Terrel a letter man of last year at left tao kle, gave strength to the line. Hing and Senyard in the line are recruits: and as yet, unknown quantities though the. played consistently yes- tenday. cA.g at right end is a new man and his past record is all in the future.
 Backfield Light
 The backfield is light and potent tally fast with Hooker at quarter and Riner, Lindsey and Pogue as backs. He oker, the lightest man in the back field, ran the team we'll yesterday and should develop into first class field general. He was particularly effective yesterday in carrying the ball around the ends. Riner showed class as a broken field runner displaying a quick getaway, change of pace, and a deceptive sidestep Pogue had a good stiff arm, and was hard to down. Lindsey's best bet is line plunging, and at this yesterday he showed good form.
 Pine Bluff failed to score in the first quarter yesterday, although
