The Birmingham bowlers, while they are not on the bottom, are not leading the league. This Is deplored, of course, but we are taking consolation in the fact that the basketball team of the Birmingham Athletic club is leading the southern organization. The Attn letic club has met the Birmingham Y. M. c. A. and the Montgomery Y. NJ c. A. and has won from each with comparative ease. Friday the club goes up against Nashville and another vic- tory is anticipated. With the excep- ton of the club team it is generally believed that Mobile Is the strongest aggregation in the league. But the way is clear for the club to win the championship, and local people, wheth CT or not they are basketball mad are enthusiastic in the support of the plucky five"
 Right now the Y. M. c. A. team is a little In the mire, having lost three of the four games it has played The Age-Herald, however, does not be- lieve in pushing a man when he Is down and urges the Y. M. c. A. to keep up its spirits. The Y. M. O. A. is composed of excellent fellows and unless their mettle becomes dampened they will be heard from yet. Keep on fighting. There is more places of hon. or than the first rank.

IN 4 SPORTING VA Y
By HUGH w. ROBERTS.

| at least get on the map. The Athletic club, the r. M. c. A. and other strong organizations should get busy at once. In the summer there are enough col lege players in Birmingham to make up one good team among themselves. We like to dwell on the fact that Birmingham is the ideal sporting city of the south. We have membership, of course. in the Southern league. Too, we are represented in the Southern league of bowlers and the Southern league of basketball teams. We have more golfers members of the first ten in the south than any other one city l We draw more southern intercollegiate football games than any other south ern city. An in the matter of auto mobilingi while we are a trifle behind the leaders, no city has seen more startling events than Birmingham.
 Some time ago we called the atten- ton of the automobilists of Birming- ham to the fact that they must get busy if New Orleans and Savannah do 1 not run ahead of us. Savannah on ac7 l count of the recent meet in that city is known around the world and New Orleans, at the present time, is pre- pairing for a great carnival in Febru- ary.
 Strang writes the sporting editor or The Age Herald that he will be in Bir- mingham in March and will bring with him, he hopes, several of the great racers who will appear in New Orleans in February. Strang will go for the 24-hour record in Birmingham and will drive the entire time alone. His last attempt to win this record, as is re- membered, resulted in the tragic death of poor Emile Stricker, but the dar- ing young driver, nevertheless, is de- termined to land.
 Birmingham Is on the map as far as automobile racing is concerned, but Birmingham must wake up The south is becoming the mecca for the world renowned drivers and all that is need ed to keep Birmingham in the cir cult is a road. Such road iE pos sible in view of the fact that the automobile club is one of many mem bers and the club is not iii need of funds. The day Is destined to come when Savannah, Birmingham and New Orleans will be the southern circuit for automobilists. The automobile club is interested in the scheme and some developments are anticipated in the near future.

Trap shooting is also a sport in which Birmingham leads. Last season Birmingham entertained the southern handicap of the Interstate association and accomplished so much that the as- sociation is again looking toward the Magic City of the south. Birmingham has received so much encouragement in fact that the local club has again made application for the southern handicap and the chances are that success will come.
 Some months ago we published a challenge from the local gun club to all other gun clubs of the south. 1ne club contends that it can send out a team of ten which will crimp at the traps the ambition of any othe team, and this challenge still stands good.

It looks dark in the Cotton States, bright in the Southern, and exceedingly roseate in the South Atlantic.
 There would be little surprise if the Cotton States became a league of the yesterdays If it does not fali with a crash it will descend still deeper among the brushes
 The Southern is holding it's own. Each city is boosting itself for the coming con- f1ict, although there is no boom apparent.
 In the South Atlantic, however, every thing Is hustlng. Since Columbus, Ga, and Chattanooga have enrolled them selves in the list of members, the little league Is fast becoming a rival to the Southern. Within few years, in fact, if the Sally circuit continue to boom, there will be but little difference in the comparative strength of the two organ izations. Of course the Southern will continue to draw better and to put forth a better article of ball. But this is due principally to the fact that the cities of the Southern league are larger than the cities of the South Atlantic. The fact will remain, however, that man starring this year in the Sally will be able to star the following season in the Southern.
