MANY ENTRIES IN SPECIAL

CINCINNATI O., oct. 5.-Twenty- two thoroughbreds were named over night to start in the s50,000 Ken lucky special race, to be run at La tonia, Ky, tomorrow. Of these, eight came from the east to do battle with the best the west can produce, in what is said to be the most valuable handicap affair ever run in America. It is the first time that three year olds and upward have had chance to run for such purse.
 Among the horses shipped here for the special are Greenstable's Cherry Pie and Rancocas stables Knobbie, Walter J. Halmons Vigil, and A. c. Bostwick's Shuffle Along and Spot Cash, which have been racing in Canada.
 The hope of the west seems to lie in Carl Weidemanns In Memoriam, R. H. Anderson's Actuary, Audley Farms Oui. Oui, H. P. Headley's Hopeless and Chaolet, and c. w.. Clarks Whiskaway, winner of the first Kentucky special.

LANIER POETS RUN ROUGHSHOD OVER ALEX CITY TEAM

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Oct. 5.-The Sidney Lanier Poets ran rough -shod over the Alexander City High school winning from the lighter and less experienced team by the score of 52 to 0. The Lanier line, coupled with superb interference of the Poets backfield, made most of the SCOT ing possible by their good teamwork.
 Fumbles by the Lanier backfied were numerous and kept the score down considerably. Fully four touchdowns were blocked by the inability of the Lanier backs to hold the ball. Brun- son, Poet halfback, made two of the Lanier touchdowns by his excellent broken field running. This lad re- turned a punt i'll the second quarter for 60 yards and touchdown, elud- ing several would-be tacklers in hls dash for the Alexander City goal.
 Patterson, Reeves, Lrtz, Willis and Kirkland were the outstanding La nier stars. The Lanier defense had no trouble in turning back the vlsi- tors attack.
 Running their plays from a dlfri- cult formation which resembled the proverbial collar button" hunt, the Alexander City gridders were often confused and could make no headway aSalnSl the Ldliier liieSinSl'
 Perkins, fullback for the visitors, made the only two first downs regis tered by the visitors. Had \ this youngster received the interference given the Lanier backs by the La nier defense he would easily have been the star of the day. Alexander City at no time. however, threatened the Lanier goal line.
 Score by quarters:

Alexa Stirling Is Finalist In National Tourney

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-To reclaim the women's golf championship of the United States, which, she held for three years. Miss Alexa Stirling must beat Miss Edith Cummings of Chi cago in the final round of the 1923 tournament, Saturday morning at the Westchester- -Biltmore Country clL b. Miss Stirling, who lost her title to Miss Marion Rollins in the tourna- ment of 1921 and seemed to lose the wizardry and power of her stroke at the same time, has been coming back this week in the annual title hunt at New York's most elaborate suburban golf plant. She won her semi final match Friday morning from Mrs. E. A. H. Goss of New York, up.
 Miss Cummings won from Mrs. Clarence H. Vanderbeck of Philadel- phia at the twentieth hole, thus elimi- hating the player who only 24 hours before had turned aside Miss Glenna Collett, winner of the title in 1922.
 Miss Cummings had to thank the fortunes of the gams as well as her own skill for her survival. Mrs. Vanderbeck had led almost all the way around and had halved the first extra holes. As they drove off for the twentieth, Miss Cummings ball flew true to the green, while Mrs. Vanderbeck's s carried astray to path below the goal. In trying to hoist it to the green she struck her club in some cinders and a particle hit her in the eye. cat sing her great discom- fort It took another stroke then to land her on the green and by this time, Miss Cummings ball was at the rim of the cup. That ended the match.
 Miss Cummings work in the early part of the game was ragged and re- mote from true championship form. Although star golfers are not often consistently good for days at time, the comparatively poor quality of Miss Cummings golf does not appear to give her very strong chance against Miss Stirling in the final.

 The local aggregation will go onto the field with the sole intention of holding Vandy to the lowest pos sible score.

Toledo Boxer Stages Hard Workout In Gymnasium
 Friday

The Hon. Joe Loham, who has chosen the herculean task of knock, ing Capt Bob Roper for a row of pecan trees at the Birmingham Ath- letic club Monday. hove into Bir- mingham Friday at noon. Joe had just devoured couple of thick steaks on the diner and had ami Inflated part of the summers Irish potato crop. He admitted that he likes 'em hash h-browned, and by the "passle."
 Immediately after his arrival the Toledo Thumper went over to the R. A. C., looked over the ticket sale and grinned from ear to ear The thing that caused Joe's smilery to work overtime was the fact that tickets for the melee have been go- verbal hot cakes ever since Secre- tary Roberts opened the advance sale.
 This done, Joe basked in the sun shine for a time, read newspaper ac- counts of the Keystone comedy, which was filmed in Columbus, Ga, Thurs day and laughed at length as he re- viewed the proceedings. Joe, you know was there on the scene, and had agreed to go on and box Young Stribling to save McTigues thumb. Later in the day it developed that McTigues thumb was only a minor Injury and for a time it looked like McTigue would need somebody to save his neck for him instead.
 Friday afternoon Senor Lohman got into his trunks, pulled out some trunks and put on the gloves. He had very hectic workout up in the B. A. C. gym, turned about $40 worth of water on his bulky frame In the showers and came forth feeling as frn oc ha ffet IIrII
 The evening shadows had fallen over Jones Valley when Capt. Bob Roper and his contingent of trainers, managers and the like blew into the Ham" Coming in by darkness was not precautionary measure, as Bob is welcome in Birmingham. It just happened to be convenient for him to motor over from Columbus with an automobile party. Bob looked in Just as good shape as he was upon his first appearance here, even in better shape, as he has been work ing out with Young Stribling daily. Thursday Mike McTigue took Bob's place and worked out with Stribling.
 Cap'n Bob also walked over to the cashiers cage, noted the large num- Der of tickets that had been sold. and his smile was even broader than that of Lohman's. In the first place Cap'n Bob's face is broader. In the HpNOAQ pidCt there Hdu been many more tickets sold as Roper's investi- gatIon was made some few hours' later than Lohman's.
 This afternoon the two men will top off their training for Monday nights bout with stiff workouts at the. club. The curious may assemble and see the two men doing their stuff, if they so desire. And the chances are that many of the fistic fans will so desire, that they might be able to get line on the princi- pals of Monday nights scrap. An other thing, the workouts are to be free and open. to the public.
 Advance ticket sales tend to show that the biggest crowd in the histor, of the B. A. c. will be on hand Mon. day night when the gong sound! and the duke singing hegins
