SHEFFIELD HIGH PLAYS PHILLIPS !Crimsons In Good Shape For Second Grid
 Battle

The Crimsons of Phillips High will stage their second gridirOn battle of the season Saturday morning at Rick wood field with Sheffield High as their opponents. The game is scheduled to begin at 10 80 o'clock.
 Phillips big squad, following their 20 to 0 victory over Etowah last Sat urday, has been undergoing another hard weeks work to get in the best shape for the invading forces. Coaches StiIlwell and Bagley have several posi- tions in their lineup which failed to function perfectly last Saturday, and the Phillips eleven is expected to rounded combination when they take the field against Sheffield.
 Sheffield is doped to furnish fairly strong opposition although they were able to get but a scoreless tie in their opening clash of the season last Friday with. Leighton High. They have two good backs in Quenby and Harris, who will have to be watched, while Quenby is noted for his bunting ability. The Sheffield arrived In the Magic City Friday and are in good shape for the game.
 Coach Stillwell will likely send about the same lineup into the Sheffield fray as started in the opening clash, al- though there are still at least a posi- tion or two in doubt. The first string lineup will likely be: Ends, Sanford and Anderson; tackles, Smith and Feigan guards, Cranford and Suddith center, Bartlett; quarterback, Gravelee ; halfbacks, Pilgreen and Jaffe; fullback, Guin.

COLUMBIANA. Ala, Oct. 1O.-(spe- cial. .)-The Shelby County Tigers de- feated the Jefferson County Tigers here this afternoon by the score of 20 to Q. The game was hard fought throughout and the first touchdown was not scored until the last of the second half.

 Next Friday the Shelby eleven plays Bibb county. So far the dates of Octo- Der 24, November z, November 14 and Thanksgiving are open and the. coach of the Tigers is very anxious of filling them.

Soccer football will begin in the western section of the Magic City Sa.- urday afternoon.
 The four teams which compose the soccer football league will start their opening battles of the season with Ems ley meeting Fairfield at the latter's home grounds, while Pratt City will journey to Wylam to pry off the lid.
 Enthusiasm is running high in the four suburban cities and prospects for the geratest soccor football season the league has ever known seems assured. The quartet of elevens which will bat tie for titular honors in the long season just beginning have all strengthened this year with the influx of many new and younger players, and the campaign to be waged for first honors in the loop will be keener than ever.
 Soccer Taking Hold
 Soccer, the national game of Eng land and Scotland, is taking a great hold on the sport lovers in this coun- try, especially in many sections. In the north and east, soccer is becoming one of the big winter sports, and local fol- lowers of the game are getting fine re- suits in their attempt to introduce the game here. The packers of the league plan to really introduce the sport tt Birmingham this fall and winter, and with the interest which is being shown by the teams and their followers it seems destined to get big hold in the Magic City. Around Wylam, Pratt City, Ensley and other sections, they have been playing soccer for many seasons, and fine elevens have been gathered together.
 Wylam won the pennant last year. but was closely pressed by Pratt City with Ensley and Fairfield bringing up the rear. Ensley has made big changes this season, and hopes for champion ship are high. Fairfield is greatly i'm proved over last season, and will be able to be among the tOp-notchers this year. With this added strength, and with Wylam and Pratt City claiming stronger outfits, the soccer contest will be far more interesting as result.
 Officers Elected
 The league was recognized recently with Mir. Halfpenny as president; Dave McCrory as first vice president; c. AIuer, second vice president, and $. C. Higgins, secretary and treasurer. The committee in charge of games will be as follows: Bishop, Bell, Wren, Camp bell. and Roundtree. These men are putting forth considerable effort to nlake the soccer season great success, und from the enthusiasm and interest already shown, this seems assured.
 The four teams will play for the Erskine Ramsay cup, donated by Mir.

BIG RACE WILL
 BE RUN TODAY Epinard Win Again At. tempt To Beat Amer
 ican Horses
kBy Associated Press )

LATONlA, Ky, Oct. 10.-Epinard, champion of the French turf, beaten in his. two previous American races will make his third, and perhaps final start at Latonia tomorrow when he will match his speed against field of eight American thOroughbreds in the last of the $1O0,O00 international series over a mile and a quarter.
 By strange turn of fate two of the horses eligible for tomOrrow's races, both of which defeated Epinard in his first two American starts, will not compete against him tomorrow, accord ing to all probabilities. Ladkin, August Belmont's colt which defeated Epinard at n mile in the second of the interna- tional races was withdrawn after the colt bruised a heel in his last work out.
 Wise Counsellor which triumphed over the French champion in the first of the three races in six furlongs to- night was a doubtful starter. The colt, his handlers said, has been suffering from a spread hoof and the injury was further aggravated in his last workout.

SIMPSON BEATS

The Simpson Purple Tornado re- turned to Birmingham Friday night from Jasper and brought back with them 19-to-0 victory. The eleven coached by Slim Neese Outclassed the Jasper crew on their own field and the Walker county boys never were closer than the 15-yard line to Simpsons goal.
 The Tornado registered three coun- ters on a brilliant return of punt by Mclaughlin, a pass and 40-yard run by Lott and a buck by Vincent. Nc Laughlin took a punt early in the first quarter and dashed down the sidelines for touchdown.
 The Tornado was Outweighed and dope to talked a licking by Jasper fans but surprised the Walker crowd by copping the contest. The playing of Captain Malloy in the line and Johnson backing up the line were big features.

LEEDS. Ala, Oct. 1O.-(Special. J. The Hueytown Gophers ran over the Leeds aggregation here today by the score of 54 to 6. The light eleven rep resenting Leeds put up game scrap against the invading hordes but could not check their assault.

Leeds was crippled by loss of four reg ular players.

HUGHES REVIEWS
: FOREIGN POLICIES
Prepares Survey for Repub-
lican National Committee.
Cites Achievements.

The policy and accomplishments OF
the Republican administration In the
field of foreign relations since Marcn
4. 1921, is dealt with In conslderaoie
detail by Secretary Hughes In re-
view made public by the Republican
national committee as supplement
to the Republican campaign book.
The review. prepared by Mr..
Hughes, is at once a defense OF the
foreign policy of the administration
against attacks launched against II
by Democrats-on the ground that
this policy has been weak and un-
availing-and an attack against the
pro-league of nations attitude or
John w. Davis, Democratic standard
bearer, and many of his supporters
5s Treaties Made.
Mr.. Hughes shows that the United
States Government has negotiated
and had ratified So treaties with for
eign nations. including the treaties
of peace with Germany and Austria,
and the important treaties relating
to the Limitation of naval armamentS
and the problems of the Pacinc, the
work of the Washington conference so
called.
Mr. Hughes declares that 1T would
have been futi' e for the administra-
tion to have Hvived the league OF
nations proposal in this country
saying:
'"The American people were un-
willing to enter into ambiguous COM
mitments which, in one breath were
sought to be explained away as hav-
ing little significance and in another
were strenuously demanded as being
of vital Importance.
1.-THE determinative principles OF
our foreign policy are those OF in :
dependence and corporation" Mr.
Hughes adds. ndependence-thaf
does not mean and never has meant
isolation. Co-operation-that does
not mean and never has meant al
lance or political entanglements.
There is the just middle course of
national safety, of national honor. of
national interests, of national duty.
1t is the course of an appropriate
cooperation, congenial to our >tradi :
tions and Institutions"
