Game Called or.

By reason of the objection of the basketball team of the Birmingham Athletic Club the local team will not play a return engagement with the Howard College team when the former goes to Birmingham next Thursday.
 Both the locals and the East Lake team had arranged for a game to be played in Birmingham the day after the game between Selma and Birming- ham. but the Athletic Club, which had the first engagement with the locals, interposed, contending that a second game at that time would hurt their attendance and receipts.
 That leaves only one game to be played by the locals when they go to the Magic City. The Atlantic team has an engagement March and will not agree to play Selma in that city on that account. The Chattanooga game has also been called off.
