Shelby County Plays
 Dallas County to Draw

Columbiana, October s.-(Speeial) ) Shelby High and Dallas County High football teams played 8 hard-foughe game of football here. neither team being able to score. Dallas received and started with the ball on it's own 2O-yard line, and made a steady march down the field, and were only stopped on Shelby's own 30-yard line. Shelby's line braced at the critical stages of the game and held like a stonewall. but failed to show this same fight when in midfield
 The local boys showed a poor of fense and the interference of the locals was not so good as that of the boys from Plantersvi1le. Three costly fumbles behind Shelby's 20- yard line would have cost them the game but for determined stands at these stages of the game.
 For Dallas, Wright and Wallace In the line and Sanders and Ruddick in the backfield, were the outstanding players For Shelby the work of 4Crumpton at guard, Clay Lester at tackle and Moore a end was very noticeable.
 Shelby High will meet Bessemer High on the latter's ground next Fri day,

 Finishes Training
 Kabakoff finished off training for his bout with Meighan yesterday afternoon. Skipping the rope, shadow boxing and punching the bag con stituted the major portion of his workout.
 The Memphis scrapper is in ex- cellent shape now. and ought to give Stanley Meighan a tough battle to- night

St, Bernard. October s-(Special.) St. Bernard defeated tho Blount County High school football team Saturday afternoon by the score of IS to 0. The game was slow and fre- quently interrupted by contention on the technicaiities of the game, and the interpretation of the rules. 1t was further characterized by the rough tactics of some of the players In the very first quarter. after a few minutes of play, the Saints" rushed the ball to within a few yards of the goal, only to be held there for downs.

Games Tickets
Instructions That Each Man
Must Sell $50 Worth on
DUTY Forces Them to Ped
die, Patrolrnen Complain
HylanApproves Command
Motorists Who Purchase as
Favor Expected to Ask
Preferment in Return

Dissatisfaction was outspoken among
the city's nine thousand patrolmen yes
terday over an order issued by Deputy
Police Commissioner John Daily, with
the approval Of Mayor Hylan. requiring
the men while on duty each to sell fifty
tickets to the Police Field Day games,
September 10 and II, at Gravesend
racetrack. Four hundred and fifty thou
sand tickets at 81 each are thus to be
disposed of during the next three
weeks.
The patrolmen resent the task on the
ground that it is in the nature of ped
ding; that many persons who have no
intention of going to the games buy
the tickets because they desire to be on
friendly terms with policemen, and
that many patrolmen, rather than re-
turn tickets unsold, pay for them out
of their own pockets.
The money is supposed to be used
for the benefit Of widows and orphans
of members Of the Police Department
Of less than ten years service who
were not entitled to a pension. Last
year more than $40O,00o was raised.
A reporter interviewed patrolmen
stationed in various parts of the city
yesterday.
"If you were handed fifty tickets
and told by your superior officer to re-
turn 81 for each you wouldn't feel like
returning any, would you?" was the
comment of patrolman in Park Row.
1T Is a disagreeable duty to have to
stand in. the street and urge a stran-
you know he will not use. 1t often re-
suits in rebuke from the stranger.
What can be the attitude of the public
toward a force of uniformed city en-
ployees that goes out to solicit char
ity"
~ could sell my fifty tickets in "a
day, but would have to hold up auto
mobiles to do it," said traffic police
man at one Of the entrances to Central
Park. II know hundreds of car owners
who pass me every day. / have only to
raise my finger at them and show them
the ticket. Naturally. they think they
are doing me personal favor, and
they expect some favor in return. 1t

traffic in the expectation that will let
them pass ahead of others. Still,

deavor is to sell them to persons whc

CATION"
1t was said that the patrolmen al
most without exception look upon th4
ticket selling as tending to humble
them. Officials of the Patrolmen's
Benevolent Association several weeks
ago considered plan to have the en-
tire force go on record officially as op-
posed to selling the tickets, but the
proposal was abandoned.

In the World of Shipping

An indication that the maritime ma
lions OF the world are now more than
ever impressed with the desirability Of
doing a larger share of their own car
rying trade Is reflected in figures in
the 1921-'22 Lloyds Register of Ship
ping. In this tendency The Syren
and Shipping, Of London, sees an in
tensified competition on the part of
the British ship owner.
The extent of the competition, 1t is
pointed out, may bo gauged from the
fact that in 1914 the United Kingdom
owned nearly Az per cent of the
worlds tonnage, whereas her present
percentage is 361a. In 1914 the United
States had 1857 900 tons Of sea-going
steel and iron ships. while to-day her
fleet aggregates 1884 900 tons.
Marine Fleets Increased
1t is from this vast feet under the
American flag that the British ship
owner ultimately will encounter siren
uous rivalry, according to the views Of
English authorities. Touching on the
increases of other countries Llovds
Register shows that Japan has ad-
vanced her merchant marine feet from
1872 900 tons to 3,063, 900 tons. France
increased l,128,000 tons; the Scandina-
Wan countries, 505,00O tons; Italy.
960,000 tons; Holland, 736, 900 tons; the
British Dominions, GAS, 900 tons, and
Spain, 1900 tons. Greece shows a
decline Of 244,000 tons and Germany
Of 4,444,00 tons, while Austria Hun
gary has practically disappeared from

time it is 2 per cent. Within the same
period the percentage of tonnage using
