to the effect that Rick took mashie, went into the rough on the Woodward course in search of a stray golf ball and appeared on the fairway a few minutes later, with. 7-foot rattlesnake, with 13 rattles and a button.

 Erwin Makes Friends
 Coach Erwin of the Birming- ham Athletic club. hasn't been in town a great while, but hess been here long enough to convince grid enthusiasts that he knows all about the little old game of foot ball. He has officiated in. a couple of minor battles. and his work in each of these has stamped him as a man who knows his business. He worked as umpire in the Talladega- -Tuske- gee colored game last. Friday. The next morning he worked with George Watkins in the Walker Central tilt. His work in each Of these battles showed clearly that he knew what he was doing. and had his eyes open every min ute of the game.

E DAY SPORT EVENTS HERE
WILD FRESHMAN"
 BILL COUGHLAN IS
 AN ALLROUND STAR.
Birmingham Boy Has Made Good at Sewanee In Every
 Line of Athletics

sewanee. Tenn, November 7.-tSpe- ciaD.-william Coughlin of Tennes- see and Alabama. for he is claimed by both Chattanooga and Birming- ham is the Tigers right haIfback and perhaps the best known member of the Tiger team in the world of sport; for his activities are not con- fined to the gridiron. Within the past few years he has put the south on the map in the field of track athletics, and has done more, in the opinion of his admirers. than any other one man of late years, to show the country at large that the south has track men who can compete with the best of them.
 "The Wild Irishman." or "Bin" as he is called, has represented sewa- nee twice at the Penn relays, once at Boston. and once at Chicago. and at all of these meets he gave a good account of himself, and briught fresh luster to southern track athletics.
 EquaHc0 W OriQS ftecOf0
 His equalling the worlds record in the i40-yard hurdles at the Penn relays caused athletics all over the country to sit up and take notice, and his showing at the Boston and Chicago meets won for him places in the scoring and the admiration of all southern fans. At Boston. in the Olympic try-outs, hls showing was actually better than that of one of the men who was sent across with the American team.
 Blll's speciality In track sports is in the 220yard dash and the hurdles. both high and low. He showed great form in the Alabama game at half back. and If he Is given the proper kind of interference his showing this fall will make him a strong contend CT for all-Southern honors when the history of the 1921 season comes to be written. He has been mentioned several times Tn past seasons for this mythical eleven.
 Weighs Only I00 Pounds
 In the matter of weight the Wild Irishman" is rather under what a halfback should be. pulling the scaies to only 1s0 pounds. but he makes up for his underweight by his dashing ability to pick an opening, and his fleetfootedness. He is 22 years of age, Is feet Il inches In height, and Is playing his last year as Tiger regular. Last year he was captain of the football team.
 In the college Bill has won the po- sition of a proctor under the student form of government, and is univer- sally liked by the student body and the faculties. He received his pre- paratory school training at the Bay Tor school, Chattanooga, which has turned out many famous athletes.

RACE EVENTS ARE
 SCHEDULED HERE AT FAIR GROUNDS
Two Days of Auto Racing Are Planned for This
 Week

With practically all the drivers who the American and British auto pole teams taking weeks rest before their contests and with entries to the motor style show coming in thick and fast. all is activity for the promoters of the speed events at state Fair park next Friday and Saturday.
 Although Fridays programme is not announced in its entirety. it is assured that the motor style show will start off the action at 2 p. m, followed by the auto race events with auto polo as the wind-up.
 The style show will probably take up a maximum of one-half hours time. which will get the race events in swing at 2:30, and following the full list of events the auto polo con test will be held.
 Free-fOr-AH Event
 The feature race of the afternoon will be the first section of the Armi- stice sweepstakes, a 25-mile free-for- all to be runs as a continuation event. 1t is expected that 10 of the 25 miles will be run Friday and the final 10 miles on Saturday
 For interest the Championship three heat, four-cornereu match race will rank with the sweepstakes, Eight drivers will compete in he first two heats or five miles each, four drivers In each heat with ihe winners of first and second in each he..l competing in the final five-mile race on Saturday.
 The rules committee will select the drivers with the best records and fastest cars for thls event and will not announce entries for each neat until all entries have been recei 'cd.
 Time Trials
 Time trials for several cars to equal or break the standing track mark of 53 seconds will also be in order. It Is assured that Premocar 10 and Fiat 22. two of the king pin cars of the entry list. will be sent out.
 A time trial in the Blitzen Benz will be in the form of an exhibition mile. The car is practically rebuilt since 1t last appearance in Birming = ham last fall when 1t established the state record. It was wrecked in d smash-up at Atlanta last spring when Larry Stone crashed through the fence and was seriously injured.
 Knee it's reconstruction 1t has been drive. with great speed by Jimmy Costa.
 Fiat Is Fast
 Another car which should be fas- ter than any similar type racing ma chine which has been on the State Fair tracks Is the famous Fiat. owned by c. R. Garibaldi of St. Louis, and which will be driven by Jules Oeve- reaux, the French speed star.
 Bob Robinson is putting in some strenuous iicks on Premocar ' for the races. There Is rumor that this car will be in match race of more than ordinary interest to Blrming- ham fans. This will be a real grudge contest if the event can be arranged.
 Ray Snowden has not announced what car he will drive, but it is thought that very speedy creation will be imported by local followers for the local boy. He will very likely enter his local car In the light car race.
 Dick seip. Jimmie Gray. Cleo Sarles. Ted D'Kinchlee and Harry Davies are All in the city with their speed mounts, waiting the speedy day and hoping for fair weather and good luck.

This new class. while far more bold

games that required patience to ex-
ecute, the newer and younger gen.

specialize in bank and mail robberies
train hold-ups, pay roll thefts and
other daring crimes. speakers de-
clared.
With the object in view of comb =
ing these criminals, the association.
tentatively formed at Chicago last
March, was organized formally here.
TIE organization includes nearly
every detective agency of Importance
in the United States, and will main
tain offices in foreign countries. a
clearing house will be established at
Philadelphia through which members
may obtain information gathered by
by individual effort and with the. CO.
operation of state and municipal au-
thoritieS.

meeting follow: J. B. Taylor. Pfila-

VILLA, REFORMED,
BETTER AS FARMER
THAN AS BANDIT

Francisco (Pancho) villa. Mex
ico's famous eX-bandit. who a year
ago laid down his arms and turned
to peaceful pursuits at the behest
OF the Obregon government. has
proven his fitness to join the
ranks OF eminently successful
farmers. The ex-bandit expects to
harvest between 10000 and $4,000
bushels OF wheat from the large
tract OF land in Chihuahua prov
ince, given him by the Mexican
government when he dropped his
arms. according to advices to the
Department of Commerce today
from J. II. Stewart. an attaChe of
the department in Chihuahua.
The large crop raised by Villa
has been made possible by the en-
ployment of modern American
farming implements, the dispatches
said, including the extensive use
of tractors and trucks and other
paraphernaiia furnished by the
Mexican government to occupy the
mind and time of the bandit chief
