Freak Ish scoring marked the cards of sev- eral of the younger golfers from Nashville. James Tupper. shot an eagle three on number nine, yet turned in a card of 1O9 for the IS holes.
 Recent rains have placed the course in excellent condition fer the tourna- ment.

 Demopolis got only eight hits off of Motley's delivery, but they came when hits meant runs. Motley pitched a good game and costly err TOTS by his team mates accounted for several runs. The Marion pitcher walked only one and struck out four

Fullblooded Indian boxer, of Lancaster, Pa, who will meet Jack Brady in a 10-round bout at the Crescent Athletic club. Bes- semer, tonight. Starlight, a new conner to Birmingham boxing cir cles, is said to possess all the physical qualities of stamina and speed that made his race famous many years ago, and is said to be capable of putting up a spsen- did battle.
 Brady is in excellent trim, hay ing spent almost the entire sum mer in putting himself in condl- tion for battling. His famous lone two" shift, a punch to the midriff followed by cross to the jaw, is working In great style, Jack says.
 Interest in the bout is high in Bessemer, while quite a few To- cal fans have been heard to state their intention of journeying out to Bessemer to witness the scrap. It's a long away to go, it's true, but a genuine mitt fan is always willing to ride that far to wit ness a cracking good bout.

The Doctor Prescribes

George followed the doc- tor onto the porch.
 "How much will all this cost?" he asked anxiously.
 "My fee for the opera ton is usually $100," the doctor answered. Hospital bills will run it to $20O, I judge. Expensive, maybe, but the boys future health depends on it."
 q know" George sighed. But, doctor, I simply haven't the money at present."
 "Then I advise you to go to Trustees System. That's great cooperative body of workers. Honest, steadily employed men can borrow money there at very low interest, repaying it in easy installments on which they re- ceive 4 per cent savings interest. Thousands of thrifty persons use their service"
 George grasped the doctors hand impulsively.
 "That's the very best prescrip- tion you ever gave" he ex- claimed.

'elS must WreSt second place,
 Quitting the wonderful hitting and consistency of the Memphis club, which hasn't lost first place all season, the Birmingham team is the most remarkable in the league. It started out looking like a second division team and it was. Without any very impor tant additions being made, or any drastic changes wrought except in Nthe wonderful improvement of certain players, this second divi- sion team of May is playing like a champion team in August.
 Carlton Molesworth, who has always been considered very smart manager, especially in the matter of developing players and detecting diamonds in the rough, has done more with this year s squad than he has ever done with any team he has had.
 HAD NOTHING LEFT
 AFTER SALES OF 1920
 Let's go back to last season. He had for his big stars Pitcher Morrison and Glazner
 Both went to the Pirates.
 He had for his first catcher John Peters.
 Peters went to the Phillies.
 He had for his big punch in the outfield Griffith and Ellis. Grif- filth came to New Orleans and Ellis went to Louisville
 He had Barnhart. swell young player, at third base and Steven son at short. Both went away.
 What had he leftP
 Dutch Bernseh and Stuffy Stewart.
 Honest, you couldn't find an other ball player around the Bir- mingham park after all those changes with a field glass.
 Gooch was young catcher whom the Pels didn't think well enough of to keep around here. Silva, Emery and the like were of the common herd. Pug Allen had been a dismal disappointment as a Pelican.
 Pitchers Gallagher and the Kid Morrison and whoever else was left on the pitching staff-well' the whole league feared thai Birmingham was in for an awful tongh year
 NOW LOOK WHERE
 THOSE "BUsHERs" AREi
 Now look at that squad--in second place and the Pels haven't been able to catch them even by winning nine games out of the . last II played.
 Young Morrison has developed into as good pitcher as his older brother. Whitehih mas made the boys forget about Glaz- ner. Allen has developed into star Gooch compares favor ably with the best first string catcher in the league. Silva ana Emery, who were waived on by the other Southern league clubs, are going like a house atlre. Bernsen and Stewart are play ing the kind of ball naturally expected of them. Traynor. who was the only player of reputation that Moiesworth brought in. IS rated the shortstop of the league
 It's a wonderful transformation in ball team, and Pndgy Moles, worth, whom we used to call "Gladys," as responsible for IL.

with 1t, Mr.. Norcross came down the
platform with the major and Mrs.
Sheila. He let the major help Mrs.
Sheila up the steps of the coach and
ran forward to call out to Kirgan:
"Donohue is clearing for you, and
there'll be nothing in the way. Run
regardless to Timber Mountain Y
You have six minutes on the specials

the boys" And then to Donohue {:
who'll be runnin' this chaser en-
gine3"
"It'll be John Hogan and the Four
Sixteen" said Donohue. There's no
body else at that end Of the branch" !"
The arrangement, such as 1t was,
was fixed up quickly. The man who
was putting up the money seemed to
have plenty of 1t. He was Offering five
hundred dollars for the engine. and a
thousand II 1t should overtake the spe-
cial that side of Bauxite Junction.
l guess the bleat unraveled itself
pretty clearly for all Of US; or at
least, 1t seemed plain enough. A min
ing deal Of some kind was on, and this
man who was left behind was going
to be left in another sense Of the
word IL he couldn't butt in soon
enough to break whatever combination
the others were stacking up against
him.
In just q few minutes We got the
word from the Strathcona operator
that the money was paid and the
chaser engine was out and gone. Kir-
gan had come In to say that our geed-
natured strikers had thrown 4 guard
into the shops and were patroiing the
yard, when Fred May showed up. max
ing signals to me. heard him when
he edged up to the boss and said !:
There's lady in the Office, wanting
to see you. Mr.. Norcross."
"Holy Smoked" said l to myself.
I knew 1t couldn't be anybody but Mrs.
Sheila, at that time Of night, and
saw seventeen different kinds Of bloody
murder looming up again when I
tagged along after the boss on the
trip down the hall to our offices.
The guess was right, both ways
around. 1t was Mrs. Sheila, and she
had the major with her. And the air
Of the private office was so thick with
tragedy that 1t made the very cleo
tries look dim and ghostly. Mrs.
Sheila didn't have bit of color In
her face. and her eyes had a big hor-
ror in them that was enough to make
your flesh creep.
I won't attempt to tell all that was
said. partly by the good old major and
partly by Mrs. Sheila. But the gist of
1t was this: Collingwood had con-
tinued his booze fight In his rooms at
the Bullard until he had worked him
self up to the crazy murder pitch.
Then he had gone on the warpath.
