Nobody ever added up

We know the distance to the sun,
The size and weight of earth;

PLANS WILL BE DISCUSSED
 AT LUNCHEON FOR OBTAINING FUNDS TO BUILD STADIUM
Citizens Urged To Attend Meeting Today And Talk Over Ways And Means To- ward Completing Project

The Junior Chamber of Commerce has sent out call to all citizens of Birmingham and Jefferson county who are interested in the brilding of a S125, ,000 stadium in Birmingham to meet Wednesday afternon at 12:45 at the Tutwiler hotel at a Dutch lunch" at which time plans will be discussed for the erecting of the sta dium.
 This movement was started last fall and immediately received re- sponse from thousands of Btrming- ham and Jefferson county people and also Alabama and Auburn off, cials, which schools each gave S1O,- GOO an the two local colleges follow ed with a similar award of $10,000 toward the building fund.
 Wednesday representatives Of these four schools and leading men in the city who are interested in the development of athletics here will attend the luncheon at the Tut wiler.
 The need of a good stadium in Birmingham is very acute. The field at Redwood offers 9 poor playing ground when such games as Centre Auburn, MississippiS and nu- merous others are played there and with a stadium many of the largest games that are played in Dixie would come to the Magic City.
 Every man in Birmingham and vi- cinity who is interested in the de- velopment of sports here should be present and discuss ways and means with the men who have the best in- tertsts of Birmingham at heart.

SPARKLING PLAYS
 FEATURE WORLDS SERIES THIS YEAR

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-(By Asso- ciated Press )-All six games of the Worlds series that came to a close yesterday with the New York Yankees triumph over the Giants sparkled with brilliant fielding, and spectacular feats.
 Jumping Joe" Dugan, crack third sacker of the Yankees, and Frisch. the "Fordham flash" were the most scintillating' on the defense, taking the series as a whole, although Ross Young, Heinie Groh, George Kelly of the Giants and Aaron Ward and Babe Ruth of the Yankees also contributed some fine plays.
 Probably the greatest bit of de- fensive work in the entire series was that by Frisch in the first game when top speed, in centerfield, and then. with an unerring throw caught Ruth, who made a daring attempt to score, al the plate.
 These are the outstanding fielding features of the series:
 First game-Frisch's catch of Meu- sells fly to short center and throw to Snyder at plate, doubling Ruth's smash and toss-out of Dugan a plate.
 Second game-Dugan stop of Kelly's ground drive on third base line and toss out at first.
 Third Game--Groh's diving catch of Scott's hot grounder and put out of Ward at third base.
 Fourth Game-Dugan's jumping one handed catch of Bancroft's line drive and completion of double play by catching Mcguire off first.
 Fifth Game-Young's leaping, one handed catch of Pipp's terrific liner on embankment in front of right field bleachers.
 Sixth Game-Frisch's running catch of Dugans looping fly in short right field and remarkable stop of Schang' s torrid ground smash over second haSe

SERIES BROUGHT OUT WEAKNESS OF
 GIANTS PITCHERS
Many Trades May Be Made During Winter By
 Giants

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-In the wake of the receding baseball magnates who came here for the world series, it was possible Tuesday to gleam many armfuls of kindling for the hot stove which warns the interest of the baseball addict in winter time. The Giants need a pitching staff and will spend money and make trades to get one. In order to bring in the pitchers they need, the owners of the Giants may have to release some of the extremely costly young men now playing on the defensive positions.
 For center fielders they have Jim mic O'Connell, who cost $1Go,O00 of baseball money; Ralph Shinners, who cost about one-third as much in the same coin; Casey Stengel, who was gift, and Bill Cunningham.
 Shinners has been i'll and O'Connell hasn't quite made good, while Sten- gel, for all his two winning homers in the world series, is a constitutional carpetbagger of the big leagues and quite accustomed to travelling. Gun ningham never seemed to make good In a large way with the Giants, and thus all four players might be con sidered as possibilities in negotiations for new pitchers. There are also some young inflelders who would bring terms in a trade.
 Two American league managers are out of their jobs and a third is reported to be considering new of fers Frank Chance of the Red SoX and Donnie Bush of the Senators are through. Chance may replace Bush with the Washington team as man ager. Kid Gleason is said to be dis satisfied with the financial Policy of the White Sox. Last season he was only able to give Charlie Robertson, the author of the no-hit. no-run game in Detroit, a raise of S100 a season. or about $15 a month.
 Garry Herman, owner of the Gin cinnati Reds, said when he vas here for the world series that Pat Moran's job as manager was safe for an other year at least. There are pri- vate considerations on Moran part, however, which may make it impos- Sihle for him tO continue in that job,
