HOWARD COLLEGE DEFEATED
By Athletic Club Championship Game
 Tomorrow Night

Rather one-sided basket ball game was played last night at the Athletic club be- tween the Birmingham team and Howard college, the former winning by very lib- eral score. The game was for practice on- ly, and consequently very few spectators were present.
 The Howard college boys are just begin ming the game of basket ball, and of course were at a decided disadvantage in playing Birmingham's experienced team. Neverthe- less they succeeded in scoring four points, and showed themselves strong, active play CTS.
 Intense interest is being taken by all lovers of the greatest of indoor games in the interstate championship game, which is to be played in this city tomorrow be- tween Birmingham and Chattanooga. Not only Is the result being anXiously awaited in Birmingham, but all over the south. Newspaper correspondents have been mo- tified to watch the game and send out full reports by wire. It will be decisive game, in that if Birmingham wins, the handsome trophy cup will be brought to Birmingham, as this city will have won the champion ship of the south. On the other hand if Chattanooga wins, 1t is possible that Nash vile may win the game from Birmingham to be played in Nashville on March 30, and thereby cause the season to end in tie.

BIG AUCTION SALE
 OF CKAMBLEE'S STOCK.
Firm must give up the Building, and will conses quently sacrifice goods.

Something of sensation was cre- ated in the clothing, shoe and gents furnishing line by the announcement yesterday that Chamblee Bros. would throw their entire stock on the market for whatever price 1t would bring at auction, and at private sale in lots to retail dealers or to individuals in any quantity.
 Chamblee Bros immediately upon learning that their mammoth store had been sold to the Birmingham Trust and Savings Company, which will ne- cessitate their removal. It would be impossible to secure quarters to ac- commodate their big stock, which can not be surpassed both as to size and quality in Birmingham, and hence the necessity of closing out or reducing 50 or 75 per cent. The disposal of rthe stock at public sale will commence Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, the services of MT. A. s. Cowan, the vet eran auctioneer having been engaged The private sale has commenced In the meantime sacrifice prices at pri- vate sale will prevail, everything hav- ing been marked down regardless of cost figures. Special Inducements are offered now, and will continue to be made in lots to merchants and to the trade at private sale, which will not conflict with the auction. The im- mense stock must be sold. It is com posed of boys and mems clothing; la- dies, mems, misses and children's shoes; gents furnishings, umbrellas, etc.
