By CHICK CREATION.

One of the best grid battles seen on a local gridiron this season was waged at Old Mill Green yesterday afternon between the Mohicans and the ColOnia1s. The result was score less tie.
 Both teams played a wonderful brand of football and the fans were on their toes all during the battle. The ing off to the Colonials who fum bled but recovered it in time and brought the pigskin to his own, 35 yard line. A series of line plunges were then enacted but, the Mohican defense was too strong, the result being the Col onials failed to make their downs. The Mohicans then tried the aerial game at which they did not have much success as the Colonial ends interfered and broke off the plays. The Mohicans tried at line plunging at which they had better luck
 Good defensive playing by both teams kept the ball in the midfield during the contest.
 Saxon of the Colonials played a whale of a game at tackle, breaking up many Mohican plays. The play ing of Celia and Maniero of the Col ontals was also noteworthy.
 The game was witnessed by som e 1.2e0 enthusiastic fans The Mohi- cans and Colonials will engage in an- ether battle to decide supremacy in a few weeks.

 The tackling of Fullback Creagh of the Pins was the outstanding feature
 of the contest. Ce<scIlo playing half back for the winners scored the first
 touchdown running through a broken field for Is yards Creagh kicked the goal. The last scoring for the Pins was done in the second quarter for ten yards for a touchdown. The Pins were heavily outweighed by the Sacraments but the better playing by the Pins made up for the weight. The King Pins are slated to meet the Avons of Stratford next Sunday at
 Seaside Park.
 High School Kiclxers Needed. | The B. H. $. goal line was crossed for the first time this season when Lyons of the Bulkeley High School of New London grabbed forward pass from Mcdonald and ran ten yards to touchdown. The final score of the contest was 16 to in the Red and l Blacks favor.
 That Coach Hunt must develop a good kicke-. was evidenced in Satur- days game. Out of three attempts at
 the goal after touchdowns the Hill toppers failed to put one over suc-
 cessfully. The Red and Black war riors-- are in badly need of a good kicker this year. Last season Fred her, Ryan and Ga1biatti.
 The athletes from up the hill do
 not display the same dash and vim that marked the Wilby game. h.
 stead, they seemed rather slow and seemed easy to push aside for gains.

HOW YELLVILLE
 RECEIVED ITS NAME
From the Arkansas aazette.

From the Arkansas Gazette.
 l ~ oMMENTING on unique and extraordinary items in tho
 news of the day, an editorial writer on the New York Herald men ticns, among other things. the fact that old beliefs about snakes are be- ing shattered by those who gather facts. It says:
 Arkansas, once the most depend able of all states for snake stories, Little Rock is doing everything pos sible to destroy mans faith in the deadliness of the rattler's bite; a big snake cannot rattle its tail in play without that paper sending a man up to Yellville to investigate. Recently it got and published the statement Of professor at the state university tc the effect that rattler's bite was almost harmless-at least never fatal"
 As matter of fact it is taran- tula and not a rattler with which the professor at the University of Arkan- eas is experimenting. but this is a minor inaccuracy. It is not, how- ever, snakes or tarantulas or inac- curacles that interest us most in this connection. It is the fact that this capable and well-informed editorial writer picks the town of Yellville to give the paragraph twist that may bring a smile from those who do not know Arkansas We are willing to hazard a guess that the New Yorker who wrote this picked Yellville be- cause he thinks, as many others no doubt think, that this towns name. if traced to it's source, would develop a pioneer of great lung power who because of the voice that was in him and the manner in which it came out | of him at times. All of which shows it is not wise to jump at conclusions.
 No doubt this editorial writer would have chosen some other town to give this paragraph the desired twist had he known that Yellville was named in honor of gallant sol- dier, Col. Archibald Yell, who went to his God like a man on the field of Buena Vista. Archibald Yell was a man of parts, a gentleman who in time of peace did his share in politics and in time of war did his share as a soldier. He resigned as a member of Congress to enlist as a private at the outbreak of the Mexican war. When the Arkansas troops were or- ganized at Washington, Hampstead county, he was elected colonel of the regiment in which he had enlisted as a private Albert Pike was 8 cap tain under him. At the battle of Euena Vista. Yelis command stood against 2. sweeping charge by a great force of Mexican lancers. Archibald Yell died there fighting hand to hand with the Mexlcans.

INED BRACE TALKS ABOUT STREET CAR FARES
 AS SUCH EFFECT BIRMINGHAM JUST NOW

paid for it then. Rather than buy at increased prices they would go without.
 There are many who believe that if the street railway company would reduce it's fares to cents again that the business would be so increased as to make the receipts larger than they would be if an cents fare was put into effect.
 This writer believes in high prices and high wages and good service, but there are times when the riding pub lie can only stand so much. Times are hard now. Thousands of people have had their wages cut, and thous ands are out of employment. A large proportion of the big employing companies of the Birmingham district have completely or partially shut down, and instead of paying divi- dends they are borrowing money for maintenance; and we are going through period of intense business depression.
 Therefore. right now seems an in- opportune time to raise street car fares.
 It is true the street car company is in a fearful fix financially. It has gone to it's borrowing limit, even un- der the control of the Federal Court and receiver. It must have more revenue or 1t must cut its service considerably.
 How to remedy the situation is serious problem; but 1t does seem to the onlooker that from & public viewpoint, if there is to be change in price, 1t should be postponed un- til times are better and the public is moro able to pay.
 Other business enterprises must tide this period of depression. Why not the street car company? 70
