 At Gadsden Tuesday

Piedmont. September 11.-(Special) Piedmont, champion ball club of north Alabama, and Eufaula. winner in the South Alabama league. will play five-game series for the state championship beginning in Gadsden Tuesday. September 12, at Dwight park and playing there Wednesday. Thursday and Friday. They play Sat- urday in Piedmont if necessary to decide the series.
 Everything has been arranged for this series and fans throughout this section have been waiting to see who would win out in the southern part of the state and go against the fast Piedmont club. These games will no doubt attract the largest crowds of the season in this part of the state, as everyone is anxious to see just how the South Alabama league will stack up against the class of ball the clubs of north Alabama have been playing all this season.
 Manager Robertson of the Pied mont club Is confident of giving the boys from the southern part of the state some good ball games, as he has collection which has been going good all the season, and. with the exception of Lon Singleton, who is in the hospital in Birmingham, will have his club intact. Singleton will be greatly missed in this series, but noa doubt will be able to witness his club fight for the state championship from the grandstand. as he will leave the hospital within the next few days.

his plays and also stop the drive of the Army backs. For the Army at tack in the last few days of the sea son of 1921 for the first time in some years had some deception and some real team drive. Folwell knows that Daily will continue along these lines.
 Folwell is also determined that he will not this year suffer the agony he when through at the close Of tne Army game last year when because Of lack of a substitute center ad substitute kicker of caliber he almost saw well-earned victory snatched from his grasp. In the loss of Lar sen at center, Frawley at guard and King and Wiedorn from the tackle positions. he has had his line shot 10 pieces indeed. But he has a number of heavyweights who if they can be quickened up, should make good tim- Der to build with.
 But Folwell realizes also that 1t is going to take good end play to stop the Army attack and he would like to have a few men like Riley or Anderson of Notre Dame on his squad Nor is he alone in this, for all teams all over the country arc beginning to recognize the demand that is going to be made upon ends this season.

BEGIN THEIR GRIDIRON
 PRACTICE TODAY
By HORACE RENEGAR

Coach Charlie Brown and Henks Gillem will sound the call of grid iron duty today, and more than 60 moleskin clad warriors are expect ed to report in an effort to make the Panther team. From the foot every freshmen in the institution will be out there. but it is the first weeks drill that will partly tell the tale as to who is who.
 Coach Charlie, in announcing to- days practice, let 1t be understood that all of the men were not ex- pected to report, as many of the men have not yet reached the noun tain lair. The old men are expect ed to register in majority today.
 Veterans Register
 The Hilltop mentors are yet un- able to tell how many letter men they have back, but this afternoon is certain to disclose many of them. Mike Norton and Greek Griffin were the only two varsity backs to regis ter yesterday, while Big Un Hodges and Bo Bagley were the linemen who filed their schedule.
 Frog" Miller, captain of the 1922 eleven, will likely arrive on Sun Shine Slopes today, ready for ac- tion. Miller was a late arrival last season, but with year of captaincy in front of him, he reported him. self by mail to the coaches several days ago.
 John Mabry and Jim Rogers are two lettered backs, that the Pan thers believe lost to their cause for the present year at least.
 Mabry is in Denver, Col. at the present time. and that is taken as enough by most folks. For man that stays in Denver six months must either be in love with girl or the scenery. and either is said to mean enough to keep a man.

Sweetser Owed Victory to Good Driuing,
 Critics Say

Brookline. Mass- September Ill., Only the buzz of conversation and here and there louder voices arguing the respective merits of golfing idols remained here today where enthu- siasts still were gathered as an aft ermath of the national amateur championship which ended yesterday with the crowning of Jess Sweetser of New York as the new amateur golfing king.
 Those automatically inclined had figured out that despite the fact that none of the British golfers, who excelfed in driving, had reached the semi-finals. yet the winner of the title owed his victory in the final match largely to the fact that he out drove his rival, the famed Chick Evans of Chicago. 26 to 8. Evans, ac- knowledged to be inferior to none with his irons, was inside on his ap- breaches, 1s to 15. Each man took 6s butts.
 Sweetser, a native of Kentucky. and for several years resident of St. Louis. declared before he letf for New York tonight, that the best golfer he met during the tournament was Bobby Jones of Atlanta, and that in his match with the southerner he had all the breaks. He added, how ever. that his hardest match was the one which gave him his title.

The only good feature about Mon- day afternoons ball game, which Birmingham won from Atlanta, 1923, was that 1t was not lingering ill., ness. Sometimes just such mis- erable malady is strung out through some two and one-half hours caus- ing sundry squirms, and much shift ing on the part of those who haven't bought cushions. In Mondays af- fair, however, the boys made 1t snappy. and the great throng was made happy by virtue of -hJ fact that the game was over in one hour. and 80 minutes.
 After losing dozen straight games, the Dunnsters gave life to the old theory that the worm-along with a 20-year case-will eventually turn. They copped off the struggle with little effort. and less enthasi- asm. slamminS out 13 safe wallops off the delivery of Dewey Marshall for a grand total of 12 runs.
 Crippled, But Won
 Birmingham presented a patched up lineup and as Is usually the case, when the Barons are crippled they won. Flip Neun was having his tonsils pulled and Stump Clarke was having his mileage pulled. Flip was overweight and thought that removal of tonsils might help some. Stump left for home, sweet home Monday, announcing that he would spend the winter hunting and fish ing. As a consequence of these two absentees, Earl Whitehill went out to. the green room on the left wing of Redwood and Johnny Sugar Kane looked after the initial sack,
 Dewey Marshall was punctured for three runs as starter in the first frame. With one down. Kane got on on an error by Smith, who was first -basing in Bernsen's place. Bernie had an extra heavy cargo of plug cut in his mouth and was afraid 1t would make him top heavy if he played. Harper two-baggered and Kane scored. Taylor hiked to first and Silva lifted the ladle for a sacrifice fly, scoring Harper. Rob ertson rocked the walls in right and Taylor counted.
 The Dunnsters were using the skip p-stop system on scoring. They failed to dent the book In the sec ond, but came back in the third with three more. Singles by Harper, Rob

Giants and Yankees to Face Hardest Foes
 From Now On

New York. September 1.-The New York Giants and Yankees must con Quer their four strongest rivals, the quartet of western clubs in each league, in the closing three weeks of the major league pennant races if they repeat their championship per formances of 1921.
 The Yankees. holding a lead of game and half today in their strug- gle with St. Louis, start west this week for the final drive of race that promises to remain in doubt until the end of the season. The Giants with their margin reduced by the Pittsburg Pirates will make their last stand at home.
 Both New York clubs gained to- day. while their leading opponents were idle. the Yankees taking a doubleheader from the Athletics, while the Giants trounced Brooklyn and increased their margin over Pittsburgh to four and a half games.
 Terrific hitting, especially by Sis Ter and Williams. with Shocker car rying the main pitching burden has kept the Browns in winning form, while tho Yankees depend on bril- liant pitching backed up by all tight defensive work and some timely hitting.
 Giants Got Even
 The Giants, due to ineffective twir- ling, obtained only an even break against second division eastern clubs. The Pirates won six out of eight games against Chicago. and St. Louis by a combination of brilliant pitch ing and heavy hitting.
 St. Louis, Cincinnati and Chicago shifted places rapidly in a battle for hird position in the National League, the Cardinals holding slight margin today despite a de- feat by the Reds.
 The Philadelphia Nationals, with the heaviest record of the week. won five out of nine games including four from Brooklyn. whose pitching was off color.
 Detroit held third place in the American, although losing series to Chicago, while Cleveland proved easy for St. Louis in four straight games.
 The Athletics gained on Washing ton in fight for sixth place. while Boston slumped after its double de- feat of the Yankees Tuesday.
 The weeks record in each league. includ- ing games of Saturday is as follows:

 Run Totals Up
 In the fourth they ran their total to nine and the Atlanta outfielders ragged. Stewart walked to first and then ran to second on steal. Kane sent the agate on three-base cruise, scoring Stuffy. Harper stirred Sugar with a single and brought him home. Harper also stole second. and Taylor and Silva skied to left. Pep Robert son brought Harry. home with single and went out stealing for the end of the inning.
 The Barons scored their other three runs in the sixth and ran their to- tai to twelve. Kane beat one out and Harper panhandled Dewey for a base on balls. Taylor singled. scor- ing Kane. Silva singled and both Harper and Taylor scored when Guy ton played the ball badly.
 smith Gets Homer
 Stoner let up enough In the eighth to groove one for Smith and that one groove ball was responsible for Atlanta's only three tallies of the day With one down, Guyon singled and Wano beat out an infield hit. Smith then stepped into groove special and lifted it over the palings in right for a homer, scoring two runners ahead of him.
 Local railbirds got a chance to see Pie Traynors brother in action again. Young Arthur was here In the spring but was let out. Atlanta signed him recently and he appeared at short for the Crackers Monday, getting two safe hits out of four times up.
 old Timers Here
 One could tell 1t was getting fall. Always along about this time of year, the Birmingham boys start their trek in from the bushes to make Birmingham winter quay erss Ziggy Johnson, former Baron. was out in new fall rig, and locked like he might have put over a pro- fitable financial season in South Alabama. ziggy was with Mot ne Ducotes Demopolis outfit.
