PRISON FARM IN
ALABAMA PRAISED
AbOlishing of Convict Lease Sys- tenn is Found by Warden to Have Brought Important
 Gain.
(By The Associated Press)

tBy The Associated PreSS) ATMORE, Ala, Feb. 22, R- Less than a year after the aban- donment in this state of the con- vict lease system Warden G. K. Fountain of the state prison farm, near here, says he has found ac- cumulative evidence of the wis., dom of the move.
 Improvement in health and mo- rale of the prisoners and prospect of early material benefits to the state are among the factors that have convinced the warden, he says that the state did not err when it removed it's prisoners from the coal mines and put them to work for the state.
 Last March the warden and 23 convicts pitched camp on the 3,640 acre tract 10 miles from here that since has been transformed into an extension prison farm There are approximately 500 prisoners on the farm now.
 Stump-pulling machinery at work, curls of smoke that tell of the burn ing of trash on the broad, clear lands, mule teams at blows, men employed on drainage ditches and the whirr of saws cutting timber for buildings of the prison plant tell a story of the labor being per formed. The warden says the men are as happy as can be expected.
 Warden Fountain says he ex- poets to have 1000 acres of land prepared for cotton next year and a similar acreage available for corn. In addition he plans a 200 acre strawberry patch and tracts for truck gardening. Cane. veget-

and four women-only three of them
from the East-remained in the run
ming today for the two singles cham
pirships of the annual Eastern Grass
Court tennis tournament.
In the mems singles the East still has
big Bill Tilden and Frank Hunter, first
two ranking players, to depend upon,
but In the women's division only 16-
year-old Sarah Palfrey of Boston re-
mains to carry the banner of the At
1antic seaboard.
Although Tilden has dropped a set to
nearly every opponent in this. tourna-
ment, he was favored to beat John
Doeg of Santa Monica Calf, In the
semi final. Hunters opponent is H. w.
Dummy Austin of England, and the
match was regarded as something of a
toSs-up with Austin holding whatever
edge there was.
In the womens division, Miss Palfrey,
who scored an amazing victory over
Mrs. May Sutton Bundy of Santa
Monica. defending champion and ma
ttonal champion in 1904. was to meet
Mrs. L. A. Harper of San Francisco IN

PADDOCK AROUSES
A. A. j. IRE AGAIN
Brundage Declares Article,
Written by Runner, Full
of Inaccuracies.

BY the Associated Press.
N YEw YORK, August 16.-Charley
Paddock, center Of many an
VI Amateur Athletic Union storm,
4 again has drawn down upon
his head the full force Of off,
cial condemnation.
Answering statements made by Pad
dock in the current issue Of Golfers
Weekly, Avery Brundage, president OF
the A. A. u, declared yesterday that
Paddock, "by admitting that he has
been sailing under false colors and
never has been an amateur honestly"
has confirmed the suspicious. that
nearly caused his disbarment from the
1923 Olympic team.
"Paddocks article is filled with in
accuracies and untruths, Is sensation
alism of the rankest sort and Is just
what might be expected from some one
whose record has been replete with eff
forts to cash in on the athletic proves
regardless of the rules" Brundage de-
clared.
Brundage said that after the Olympic
trials at Cambridge last Summer prac-
tically every member of the A. A. u.
track and field committee and of the
American Olympic committee felt that
Paddock repeatedly had capitalized
his athletic fame, and had, therefore,
forfeited his amateur standing"
Under the rules, however, the case
reverted to the A. A. U. district in
which Paddock was registered as an
athlete. This district, the Southern
Pacific Association of the A. A. u,
cleared the sprinter and the national
registration committee concurred. Pad
dock then went to Amsterdam with the
team.
Paddock's charges that he was
Cheated" out of a place in the semi
final round of the 100-meter dash at
the tryouts; that the heats were
seeded" in an effort to eliminate him;
that the time announced for his heat
was two-f1fths of second slower than
actually was, and that he was forced to
return to the West Coast to compete
in the section tryouts at Los Angeles,
all we're categorically denied by Daniel
j. Ferris, secretary-treasurer Of the
A. A. U.

CALIFORNIA COACH
NOW IS ON trial"
Price, 1t Is Declared, Must
Have Winner This Year
or Lose His Job.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

TVERY time a breath of foot ball
- watts eastward from California
you hear something about the
IL opposition to Clarence (Nibs,
Price, the coach at Berkeley.
If he doesn't win this year, his lot will
be widely opened gate.
Assuming that there is a strong op-
position to Price, a distnterested OBJ
server can feel nothing other than
amazement that such condition should
exist. For Price, to the writer's mind
at least, has done a magnificent job
for the University of California
When upon the death of Andy Smith
Price inherited the 1926 team. he had
an outfit Of which no coach in the
world could have made anything. In
Philadelphia shortly before his death
Smith told the writer that his prospects
for the next year were absolutely nil.
This was the squad Price was called
upon to handle following Smiths death.
1t did not win against any conference
rival, and no one who knew anything
about the material expected that it
would.
But the following year, 1927, Cali
fornia held three of the greatest elevens
ever developed on the coast, Stanford
and Southern California and Washing
ton, to close games. Beaten in all of
them, the Bears showed a lot of power
and lot of foot ball. That was Prices
second year at the helm. Last Fall his
team defeated oregon and Washington.
held Southern California, 90, and tied
Stanford, 1913.
California has some excellent mate
rial in hand for the approaching season,
and the writer is firmly convinced that
the team will reflect the genius of its
coach beyond anybody'S denial.
