BIRMINGHAM FANS
HAVE SEEN MANY
RACERS IN ACTION

That Alabama and Birmingham
tcally every star. with the exception
of two or three, that America has
produced since the inception of mo-
tor racing in action over the state
fair track was brought out in fan
ning-bee in Sig Haugdahps tent at
the fairgrounds Thursday afternoon.
Among those who have worn the
worlds speed crown there is but one
who never competed over the historic
mile course, where Saturdays speed
contests will be held. That driver
was the late Bob Burman. Few
American drivers have been honored
with the title of Speed King of the
World" and they can be counted on
the fingers of one hand. They are:
Barney Oldfield. Bob Burman, Ralph
DePalma, Tommy Milton and Sig
Haugdahl.
Many drivers have gained fame as
professional race pilots and have held
various titles over road courses.
speedways and dirt tracks. but the
above quintet are the only Americans
ever honored as having travelled the
fastest mile as recorded down
through speed history. Among other
appeared here in years past are
Louis Chevrolet, Louis Strang, Louis
Disbrow, Eddie Hearne, Tommy Mil
ton, Bill Endicott, Teddy Tetzlaff
Eddie O'Donnell, Gil Anderson,
"Cocky" Wilcox and many others.
But the few who gained fame
through speed and were never seen
over the Birmingham course are:
Ralph milford. Jimmy Murphy.
George Robertson. Bruce Brown.
Spencer Wishart and the great for
eign flash on the speedways in 1916.
Dario Resta. But Birmingham fans
have probably seen In action more
great race drivers than any other
city south of the Mason-Dixon line,
with the probable exception Of New
Orleans.
While Saturdays race entries may
not go down in motor history it will
be at least another opportunity to
honor another speed king who has
written his name among the few in
red ink-Sig Haugdahl will long be
remembered as the first speed mer-
chant in history to drive at the rate
of three miles a minute and the pre-
diction has been made by Barney Old
field, the veteran driver. that before
Haugdahl quits driving he will be
heralded as "the greatest race driver
of all time
No less than IL professional race
drivers are entered to start in Sat
urday's races, the largest field ever
entered In one meeting over the state
fair track.

game between the Giants and Yam
KEGS, the second of the worlds Sc
ries, counts as a complete contest
and tomorrow the third" game with
tn National league club technically
"at home" will be played. it was Of
ficially announced from the office of

This statement was made after
conference of the commissioner with
Secretaries Barrow and Tierney OF
the two clubs. The decision was de-
signed to avoid confusion of the pub
lie, especially ticket holders Only
tickets marked third" game will be

Riual Managers
Throw Bouquets
at Their Teams

New York. October 5.--Battle spirit
the like of which was displayed in
today's tied world series game be-
tween the Giants and Yankees, is
what keeps baseball at the top of ma
tional sports in the belief of McGraw
and Higgins, rival managers.
1T was battle spirit" said Mo-
Graw. that caused Bob Shawkey to
grit his teeth and pitch great base
ball after that first inning, when my
boys scored three times. And 1t was
the same sort of spirit that led Fran
kie Frisch In front of a number of
hard hit balls that ordinarily would
have gone for hits.
Jess Barnes was working Won
derfully. He had greater variety
of curves and slow balls, than l had
knowledge of. He's a top-notch
pitcher. He's got the fighting spirit
In him, too. Only two of the Yank's
three runs were earned off him. 1
am sure Frisch's work on the defen-
sive was the outstanding supporting
feature, and nipped what might have
been Yankee rallies"
Spirit of Determination
Some of that spirit of determine
ton that carried US to the pennant
brought us through to a tie today"
said Higgins. I'm Shawkey's pitch
ing after the first inning. and the
work of his supporters 1 could see
some of the doggedness that helped
us to defeat the Browns in that last
series in St. Louis l saw, also. the
determined attitude of my men as
they went to the plate. 1t was the
same, too.
There wasn't any need. hardly, to
tell them what to do. They knew
they had to hit. and that they had to
make every hit count. Barnes was
an enigma. He mixed his offerings, 1
think. as Mathewson would have
done. The Yankees were picking the
good ones. however, and I'll vow that
but for the uncanny stops made by
Frisch. we would have defeated him
