ED ALLEN SHOWS UP IN TIGER FOLD Coach Pitts Gets Auburn Squad Down To Hard
 Work

AUBURN, Ala, Sept. 9.-(Special.) With the thermometer lettering around the midsummer altitude, the Auburn Plainsmen got away with the first day of the second weeks practice Monday afternoon. More than forty men made up the contingent of candidates eager to be numbered amongst the elected squad for varsity honors. Every one was granted a privilege of a liberal portion of the afternoon workout.
 After. the usual preliminary maneuv- CTS, Coach Pitts added a new number to the regular program. Two or three squads were lined up for signal and formation drill. Some of the line-ups contained many familiar faces from last season while variations were made as the practice progressed.
 Wednesday afternoon, real honest to-goodness' hard tackling will start and Saturday afternoon the first scrimmage of the year will be staged, according to announcement of the coaches as the practice closed Monday afternoon. Line ups have already been made out making up two teams from the members of the temporary varsity squad that will be harnessed for a session of real scrim- maging and it is expected that every man in uniform will be called on to carry the ball or to stop the onrush of the opposing ball toters.
 Ed Allen, varsity half and letter man for the past two seasons as well as star infielder of the baseball team, arrived at the Tiger camp Monday, which cuts the number of letter men yet to report to two-Ollinger and Reese, both of which are expected mo- mentarily by the coaches. Allen, along with Harrison and Williams, make up the nucleus for the halfback department and with his experience and fleet footedness should experience his best year in "A.
 "Hardboy" Pruitt who has been on the hospital list from illness, reported Monday for the first time since the opening practice.

Blood is the very flow of life itself. Its function is the keeping all parts of the body free from poisonous acids. How, then, can impure blood, contain ing itself such poisonous acids-prop- erly perform the function which nature intended 1t should?
 That is the solution to many ail- ments. Chief of these are rheumatism and skin eruptions. Only clean pure blood is capable of preserving clean, pure body condition. Therefore, care of the blood must be recognized as a most important matter.
 But how can you be certain that your blood receives such care? Medical science has approved and heartily en- dorsed Taylor's Blood Medicine as a superior blood purifier known to keep the blood in its proper condition.
 Taylor's Blood Medicine contains Iodide of Potash and other vegetable ingredients such as Sarsaparilla, Dan

LOGGING RAILROAD
 IS BEING BUILT
Much Activity Is Being Noted
 In Macon County

TUSKEGEE, Ala, Sept. 9.-(spe- cial. )-The Mitchell Lumber Go. has a crew of 30 men engaged in opening the right of way for the railroad from the Eich plantation to Kings bridge on the Eufaube creek. Timber is be- ing placed on this location, and in a short time a hundred men will be there erecting the homes and constructing the mill foundation. When this plan is completed it will have a capacity of S0,- 900 feet of lumber per day, and will be one of the largest in this section of the state.
 To Enter Rail Line.-The govern ment has just issued permission for the extension of the hospital spur to be extended from the hospital, through the reservation, and on to the normal institute and Tuskegee. Eight pound steel rails will be placed on this new section of the road, and that will mean much for the heavy travel in connec- tion with the institute.

FIRPO HAS EDGE ON
 WILLS, SAYS CRITICS
Two Big International Events Conflict With
 Fight

knees with wild slam, thereby arous- ing him to uncomfortable rage. Firpo beat the sailor down immediately and Mnxted said afterward that there was no way to fight Luis Angel. eff you sock him hard he gets mad and knocks you cocck-eyed," said the sailor. "n you sock him easy he knocks you cock-eyed anyway"
 On still another night, Jack Demp- sey, after tumbling Firpo all over the ring in the polo grounds as baggage man tumbles trunk, stepped back to count the house and found himself outside the ring gazing upward at his own toes.
 Wills has a friendly nature. Wills has brittle knuckles and had been pull ing punches so long to gave his hands that nobody has seen him let go a real punch since the night he knocked out Fred Fulton four years ago. Wills likes to hug his opponents body with his left arm ard drive in right-hand smashes at the ribs
 Clinching with Firpo is like clinch- ing with a petulant elephant. No man he has ever fought has been able to match strength with Luis but it is possible that Wills, who is pretty clever and versed in the tricks of the craft, might wrap up his arms for little while:
 Wills has a hard left stab which he intends to stick in -Firpo's face to con- fuse and hurt and discourage him. Jess Willard had a much harder straight left than Wills has. He stuck it in Firpo's nose, too, and almost snapped his neck with it. Firpo stepped back, shuddered, lowered his head and tore in, pitching his right hand so hard to the body that Willard quit
 Wills has long, lean body that looks as though it would soon be stove in by Luis Angels slams to the ribs. In 15 rounds against Bartley Madden, who hits with less force than an effeminate butterfly, Harry Wills was afraid to drop his own guard and walk in, punch ing for knockout.
 This is one opinion of the wild bull and the brown panther, as they are called. It is not recommended for betting purposes. The best way for an outsider to make money on a fight is to put the money in the bank.
 One of the Wall Street gambling houses reported Tuesday afternoon that the betting price on the fight was six to five on Firpo to win. This seemed to be fair guage of the opinions ex- pressed over the teacups around town. It is worth of note, also, that few peo- pie had much to say, nor any very strong opinions, either, until the form agencies began to promote the financial success of the fight by opposing it.

ALABAMA BACKS SHOWING WELL Light Scrimmage Order Of Day In Crimson
 Camp

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Sept. g. Candidates for Alabama's grid machine went through another day of strenous practice here this afternoon under the direction of the three Crimson mentors. Very light scrimmage characterized the work of the men, with heavier and longer scrimmages promised before many more days elapse.
 Three full teams are now going through the daily workouts on Denny field and gathering speed and form on every move. While light scrimmage has been gone through, no one has shifted to any one place, but all have
 Alabama possesses e number of backs who should cover themselves with glory this year. The greatest factor about the backs is their speed; all are rather fast, including Captain Pooley Hubert, for a man of his size. Little men, of around 140 to 160 pounds. are displaying their wares along the speed lines well.
 Johnny Mack Brown and Hulett Whitaker ares being watched closely this year Mack Brown is one of the prettiest open-field runners on the team and should play a great deal this year. The Dothan lad was heralded as 'Bama's best prospect as back last year, but came long slowly. He is expected to improve fast this year and trouble op- ponents great deal. Whitaker is going to make every back put out their best before he allows one to get on the backfield ahead of him. He is deadly tackler, runs interferen e good, and can hit the line a la Hubert. McClintock, who was sick most of last season, should have a great year.
 The question of ends is still open for debate. Propst has not arrived in the Crimson camp, but will D. here the lat ter part of the week. Hudson and Caldwell have been going good, as has Johnston and Collier. Jones is still been playing a guard but may be switched to an end position later. Others are also seeking the berth, and competition is pretty keen to fill the shoes of Newton and Clemens.
 Pete Camp, the heavy young guard of last year, is now limping around. Camp injured his ankle slightly and is limping around the track in an effort to reduce. He will probably be all right in one or two days. The rest of the linemen, both veterans and new men, reported in fairly good condition and are working hard.
 Coach Van de Graaf continue to give out freshmen uniforms every day. Scores of freshmen are now out for his '.rat" eleven and other are coming in. The chamionship freshmen team of last year should be equalled again this year, as most of the "rats' boast of enviable regulations from prep and high schools.
 "Bubber" Baty, said by many to be the greatest defensive halfback in the south last year, was in Tuscaloosa this afternoon and watched the practice of both squads. Baty is going6 to Harv- ard this year but is pulling for Rama as hard as he did when he ~played., He seems to think 'Bama should have a good team this year. t,s.sys. A~S

 UNDER SUBPOENA

CHICAGO, Sept. 9.--Subpoenas were issued today for David B. Robertson, grand President of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and Enginemen, and J. Mcclure, general chairman on the Chicago and Northwestern railway for the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers to appear before the United States Railroad Labor Board Thurs day. These subpoenas were issued as a result of the failure of the two brother hoods to recognize the jurisdiction of the board in the dispute between those brotherhoods and the Western railway managers over wages and rules.

FIRPO AND WILLS READY FOR BOUT Both Fighters Declare Themselves Fit, For
 Big Battle

NEW YORK. Sept. 9.-Luis Angel Firpo and Harry Wills, rival aspirants for Jack Dempsey's crown, have com pleted their .ltraining and today they declared themselves fit for their battle scheduled for Thursday night in Boyle's thirty acres, Jersey City.
 Firpo, because of his devastating right hand punch, loomed tonight as a slight favorite with several wagers be- ing reported on him at odds of six to five, but critics who have followed the giant gladiators in their preparations the past few weeks look for a closely fought battle.
 There seems to be general agreement that the fight will not go the limit of 12 rounds, but on the other hand a fairly even division of opinion as to whether the expected knockout will be scored by the "Wild Bull" or the Brown Panther" as no decisions are permitted under the New Jersey boxing laws, the verdict, in case the match goes the limit, will be unofficial.
 Due to the uncertainty caused by deportation proceedings against F'frpo, the advance seats sales has not come up to expectation. It has passed $30O,- 900, however, Promoter Tex Rickard said. and if the revival of interest mani- fested today continues, the bowl is expected to be packed to its limit of about 9O,0O0 with gate receipts ap- preaching $1.000.0OO.
 If weather blocks the fight, it will be held Friday night. Principals in the leading fistic encounter of the year, in spite of the fact that no title is in volved, are in excellent condition. With their long conditioning grinds com pleted, both men tipped the scales at around 220 and expect to climb into the ring at this figure.

By WESTBROOK PEGLER Especial Leased Wire to The Age

lOpocMk AoaSoQ ,Wn0 t0 1uo Ase- NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-Owing to some errors of management, two great international events of the 1924 sum mer season have been set for this week, in conflict with the fight between Harry Wills and Luis Angel Firpo, the furious Argentine, whose eybrows grow down to his wlshbone.
 There is no question that the Anglo American polo tournment at Westbury, l.. l.. would draw large deputation from the Third avenue swagger set if the opening match did not come in the same week with the fight. The lads !. up on the avenue are very fond of horses and may be seen tossing dice for them at Diamond Dan O'Burke's place almost any evening. But, on the other hand, they do not cherish bull, wild or domestic, and any time there is pros pect of seeing a bull takefa beating they will be there. .
 The other international event of the week which is certain to suffer in the matter of attendance owing to the counter-attraction of the wild bulls bat tie is the semi-final round of the world championship catchweight oyster eat ing tournament at Patsy Murphy's Oyster and Chowder Cove on South street.
 It seems most unfortunate that after such a dull summer in the sport line the lads should be confronted with this situation and compelled to ignore two great events in order to take in a greater one.
 However, that is the state of affairs and Tex Rickard is able to r port that, thanks to the Ballyhoo of Canon Will liam Sheafe Chase and other helpful publicity agents, the reserved seat sale for Thursday nights wild-bull-baiting at Boyle's thirty acres is advancing to- ward a sell-out.
 The author of these dispatches has seen Messrs. Firpo and Wills fight sev- eral times and has never yet seen Harry Wills in mood of rage or even fight ing enthusiasm. On1 the other hand, large Bill Brennan, since deceased, in a facetious moment, plucked little tuft of hair from Luis Angels chest on the night of their fight and raising the glove to his lips, insulting blew the fur into Luis Angels face, whereat Luis Angel went booming across the boards of the ring and banged large Bill so hard on the skull that he knocked this pital.
 On another night, long before Luis Angel ever had his picture in any of the papers, Sailor Maxted, then a fairly experienced fighter, jared Firpo to his
