ADMISSION 25c
ATHLETIC SPORTS TO
BE FEATURE OF LIFE
AT CAMP SHERIDAN
Physical Culture of All
Kind to Be Encouraged
by Athletic Director
Every man In the *7th division will
be a Jam-up good athlete before the
division leaves Camp Sheridan If plans
of O. B. Trautman, athletic director
sent here by the war department, work
out without a hitch and all indications
now are that they will.
Mr. Trautman will start out with
baseball and football and will run
through the whole works, baseball,
football, basketball, handball, tennis
and numerous other sports which tend
to Improve the players physically. He
believes baseball can be played here
throughout the cold months, and foot
ball will be played 'way up Into the
new year, according to Mr. Trautman.
Team far Every Company,
It la Mr. Trautman's plan to have
every company represented by a team,
the teams of each regiment forming a
“league,” the regimental leaders will
play for the brigade championship and
brigade champs will play for the divis
ion honoru while the foregoing plan
applies principally to baseball, prac
tically the same system will be follow
ed out in football and In basketball.
Outside teams also will be sought to
play with the soldiers, and from t|ils
source Is expected to result some of
the snappiest games ever seen In the
south; there Is a world of material
through the Ohio outfits and from it
may be selected teams that will go a
long ways toward putting It over on
anything they might meet.
To Have Field Meets.
It Is Mr. Trautman's desire to have
placed all about the camp, athletic
fields on which may be played all of
the games, and It Is planned to stage
from time to time real field meets In
which the company, regimental and
brigade stars will shine; the public will
be ur^ed to take an Interest In the
work, and all provisions will be made
to have as many civilians as possible
witness the contests, thereby Increas
ing the Interest In the work, ■
Equipment Is Needed.
While there Is a large quantity of
equipment already here and more com
ing, Mr. Trautman has requested local
newspapermen and representatives of
the Ohio papers to carry In their col
umns an urgent plea for old equipment
which can be used until the division Is
fully supplied. He.Is anxious to have
colleges throughout Ohio—and through
the South, too—send to the division
quartermaster here any old baseball or
football, basketball or tennis para
phernalia, Old medicine balls, gr any
thing that might be used here in giv
ing the 30,000 soldlera healthful out
door amusement.
“It will b* a great and good act for
any college or individual to send to
Camp Sheridan any old equipment they
may have," asserted Mr. Trautman,
“and If they once could see the pleas
ure their gift will give to the men
here they would feel well repaid."
Have Begem Practice.
Already a large number of the Ohio
outfits have both baseball and football
teams In the Held for practice, and
< within a few daya Mr. Trautman will
be In position to announce a tentative
1 schedule of the games to be played. In
1 football It already is known that the
Auburn team will corns here, and Mr. I
Trautman hopes to get Alabama. L. '
8. U., Marlon Military Institute, Fort
Morgan and other elevens for exhibi
tion games with the Ohio soldiers.
“Many of the Ohio players are men
who starred on their college teams," he
said, “and the games they play will
be clean In every way."
Any Institution or Individual desir
ing to send equipment to the soldiers
should address It “Camp Quartermas
ter. Camp Sheridan, Montgomery, Ala
bama."
FAMOUS WRESTLERS
MATCHED TO APPEAR
IN THIS CITY SOON
A sporting event of note will be
given In Montgomery at the city au
ditorium on Wednesday night, Octo
ber 3, when Tuslff Hussans, known as
“The Terrible Turk." will be seen In
a wrestling match with Tofalas, the fa
mous Greek champion, who won the
championship In wrestling matches at
Athens, Greece, previous to the Euro
pean war and has since been the hero
of many a roped arena contest.
The match be.ween Hussans and
Tofalas In Montgomery has been ar
ranged by Jsck Curley, a widely known
promote.- of large sporting eventa Cur
ley Is bringing many events to the
southern cities where camps are lo
cated so as to furnish spirited con
tests for the entertainment of sol
diers and citizens.
Curley matched Zbyszko against
“Strangler" Lewis In Birmingham two
weeks ago before an Immense throng,
and the spectators went wild over the
exciting contest, getting a run for
their money every inch of the way.
Hussans came to America to chal
lenge Gotch and Stecher for the world's
championship. He weighs 300 pounds
and 1s one of the biggest men In the
wrestling fame, and one of the most
scientific. Tofalas has an International
reputation as an adroit wrestler. He
weighs 250 pounds.
Preliminary events will also be
staged at the auditorium on the night
of the big wrestling match and Mont
I gomerlans will see an exciting evening.
[
Tackling the Dummy Is
Order of the Day at
Auburn
(Special T# The Aimllaer)
auburn; ALA., Sept. 2.—The old
dummy has been brought forth from
lta hiding place and all the Varsity
near-varsity and mere scrubs took a
good healthy swing a tackling It. The
older fellows sailed In as If they had
been tackling dummies all summer,
but some of the new freshmen showed
a fondness for clasping said dummy
around the neck In a manner similar
to that of a man pleading with his
best girl. However Coaches Donahue
and Tlchenor were on the spot, and
are'making helpful and pungent crit
icisms which will correct these minor
faults.
Improves Steadily.
The squad continues to Improve
steadily and It Is quite !evident that
the team will represent Auburn this
year will be a steady, game and
scrappy bunch. Old man hard luck has
already made his pass at the squad,
tut the boys have pep. and ambition
and are not discouraged. Horkle Re
vlngton who was given honorable men
tion for All-Southern by several pa
pers, last year has thrown out his
bad knee and, as a consequence. Is
decorating the side lines. Korkle Is
a good man and th student body Is
all pulling for the knee to round back
Into shape quickly.
Reblnsoo Shifted To Quarter.
A change that has aroused a great
deal of comment Is the shifting of
Captain Robinson from center where
he was All-Southern to the position
of quarter-back. To some this seems
but a temporary shift, but It Is quite
possible that this shift may be per
manent. There Is no old quarter back
on hand and Robinson has the Are
enthusiasm and confidence of his
team mates. With hts veteran head
running the team and cooling the ex
citable now men prospects would look
mighty good. If this change Is held
for the entlfe year It will be prob
ably the first time In the history of
football that star center has gone to
the back-field.
Rogers for Center.
Another addition has been made to
the squad. Ike Rogers, who weighs
about 19S pounds and halls from the
ancient town of Brewton, successfully
avoided the draft and came ambling
back for another year of Donahue
football. This big, good looking fellow
Is holding down center on the voralty.
With hie beef and experience he should
do mighty good.

jMr. C. A. Hopkins of tke ^lutual Life
Mr. C. A'. Hopkins, recently of Mobile but formerly of Montgomery, has just removed to
Montgomery where he is to take charge of the business bf the Mutual Life Insurance Company of
New York in this City and district.
Mr. Hopkins began his insurance career with the Mutual Life eight years ago, at which time
he entered the Company’s service as clerk in the General Agency headquarters here, located in
the First National Bank Bldg. »
Mr. Hopkins showed such decided ability in this particular line of work that when the oppor
tunity offered he was placed at the head of the Mobile district where he remained for sometime and
where he rapidly rose to the front, and soon became one of the Company’s most trusted and
valued representatives. His success was so gratifying that he was offered the position as District
Manager in the Montgomery district when it became vacant some months ago.
Mr. Hopkins is very well and favorably known here, where his parents lived for many years
and where he married into the family of Mr. Geo. M. Marks.
Mr. E. Rowell Holt, of Montgomery, has been representing the 'Mutual Life in this district
now for a year or more, and is also very well known here. He will be associated with Mr. Hopkins
and will assist him with the work that is to be accomplished in this region. Mr. Holt has had
splendid success.'
Both these young men have a bright future ahead of them, and it goes without saying that
with a Company like the Mutual Life, the oldest Company in America, and with the largest
amount of insurance in force in this State, a greater future than ever awaits them.
The Company’s offices will now be located on the sixth floor of the First National Bank Build
ing—612-14, where our policyholders and prospective applicants for new insurance will be welcome
at all times.
First Gridiron Battle of
Season Between Alabama
andPickedOhioans at Camp
The football season for the 1917 sea
son will be pried open In Montgomery
on next Saturday, when picked men
from Camp Sheridan will play the
strong team from the University of
Alabama, This game will also mark
the opening of the athletic field at
Camp Sheridan, which has been erect
ed at large cost for the athletic games
that are to be pulled off for the enter
tainment of men of the 37th division.
Practice at Tuscaloosa.
According to reports that come from
Tuscaloosa, where* the University of
Alabama Is located, Coach Kelly, the
old Chicago star, has about 4U men
coming1 out every afternoon In an ef
fort to win a place on the team. There
are many of these who are "prep" ma
terial but with the old heads who will
be found In the line up of Alabama, she
can be expected to have her usually
strong team. In fact Alabama Is fig
uring this year strongly on the cham
pionship of the South and many be
lieve that the team that Alabama puts
on the field will be as strong as that
of last year, when they made several
of the strong teams go the limit to get
her scalp.
iiswi Breaks Ankle.
Little “Red*’ Brown, who was consid
ered one of the coming stars at Ala
bama was knocked oat the past week
by a broken ankle but Kelly has a
galaxy from which he can select oth
ers to be placed In the lime light. The
Alabama team will have several old
men back in the line and back Held
and with the wealth of new material
they are bound to make a line allow
ing backed up by the Alabama aplrit
that la alwaya ehown by the atudent
body and frlenda of the Institution.
Many College Me* at Camp.
Out at camp there are even larger
numbers of candidates to pick from
that can be found at any educational
Institution. They have thousands
where the University of Alabama has
hundreds to draw from. And too, they
are seasoned warriors for Uncle Sam
who have not had to work in wheat
fields during the summer to get in
condition, for they are kept that way
and can be counted on to be "hard
as nails" physically.
This Ohio bunch has men from all
of the leading oolleges of the state
where playing football is considered
one of the rudiments in college life.
They have Ohio state men, men from
Case and Reserve, from Wesleyan, from
Miami, Mt. Union and scores of other
colleges so that all they have to do
is step out and call a team together
from almost any outfit in the division.
That Alabama will have more than a
yractlce games goes without saying
when the wealth of material of the
Camp Sheridan team Is considered.
The game will be played next Sat
urday afternoon September 2», and the
admission will be SO cents. Scldlers
In uniform will be admitted for 25
cents.
COTTON SHOULD NOT
SELL FOR LESS THAN
25c., SAYS RANSDELL
(A—elate* Preaa.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.—Cotton
raiscra of the South were urged by
Senator Ransdell of Louisiana. In a
speech today in the senate to hold out
for "fair and legitimate" prices and
not to sell for less than 25 centa a
popnd. Present prices, he declared, are
absolutely unwarranted, caused largely
by a rush of offerings because of the
embargo.
Statistics Presented.
Statistics were presented by the
Louisiana senator in support of the
contention that the actual purchasing
power of cotton Is much lower than
of other products which have advanced
in price. He also declares the South
was never In better position to hold
Its cotton for a fair price.
“My advice,” he said, "is for the cot
ton growers, the commission merch
ants and dealers in cotton, and the
bankers In the southern states to co
operate and work together In order
to secure a fair and legitimate price
for cotton. They should make up their
minds that, to sell cotton at the pres
ent time for less than 25 centa per
pound would be an unnecessary sac
rifice. They should, without excite
ment. or flare of trumpets, or unlaw
ful combinations, to restrain trade,
each and every one In his own way.
do his bit towards seeing that the
south la not robbed of at least 125.00
per bale on Its cotton by selling at
20 cents—a collossal sum amounting
in the aggregate to $312,500,000.
Farmer Cam Aid.
"The farmer can aid by atorlng his
cotton at home when it is ginned, or
In warehouses like the great storage
warehouse In New Orleans, by ship
ping it slowly in small quantities, and
by refusing positively to sell unless a
satisfactory price Is offered. He
should not seek buyers. The old way
was for the buyer to fix the price; but
the seller should do so with his crop.
"The merchant who has made ad
vances on the cotton can assist by ex
tending payments of the debts due
him, either wholly or partially; by
aiding the grower to borrow 76 per
cent of the value of hts cotton, estimat
ed at 25 cents per pound; and by coun
selling the producer to stand firm In
demanding a Just price.
Rush to Market Gassed Drop.
"The recent drop In the price was
caused. In my opinion, by rush of cot
ton to the market and eagerness to
sell on the part of the producer. My
I firm conviction is that It was caused
[ by a rush of cotton to the market and
willingness on the part of the pro
ducer to accept any price offered, re
gardless of the real value of bis pro
duct. This course Is suicidal In the
extreme and should bs stopped at
once.
"The cotton grower Is in command
of the situation. The world Is bound
to have our cotton. It cannot exist
without the cotton of our southern
acatea. We are In a poaltion to die
ou" own terms and force com
pliance therewith. I would not under

HUNT DAIRY
EXPERT TO BE SENT
HERE AT ONCE
.
Laws Governing Milk Sup
ply of City Are to
Be Revised
A dairy expert will be sent to
Montgomery u*. once by the United
States government to handle the milk
situation in this city Dr. H. F. White
sanitary expert In charge of the health
campaign in the Camp Sheridan zone,
was advised by wire Saturday that the
dairy division of the Federal depart
ment of agriculture will send a milk
expert to Montgomery next week.
Cosies os Request.
The expert comes to Montgomery at
the request of Dr. White who has had
under consideration for some time a
complete revision of the laws govern
ing the production and distribution of
milk in this vicinty. He regards the
regulaton of the milk supply as one
of the most important factors in the
promotion of the health of Camp
Sheridan and every precaution will be
taken to safeguard the soldiers while
at the same time, every effort will
be made not to work on undue hard
ship on dairies and dealers.
To Bottle All Milk.
Among the improvements suggea
ed is the bottling of all milk sold In
Montgomery. The question of pas
turlation also has been discussed, but
it seems that it would be difficult to
obtain the pasteurization all milk sold
in the zone. A few days ago Dr.
White conferred with the Central Ala
bama Dairy Association regarding im
provementa and the meeting wae
'quite harmonious. A' committee has
since been at work in conjunction
with Dr. hite. Another improvement
contemplated is the monthly publica
tions of the scores of dairies In order
that the public may be Informed as
to the quality of milk being offered
by the different dairies. I
Dr. White has asked the department
to allow the expert to remain In Mont
gomery a month.
