With the famous Mobile tactics, on a trip to win the championship of the south, the game at the Athletic club Wednesday night promises to be scrap of the knockout kind. Mobile has an unsavory reputation for rough playing, even in her own town. The Mobile Reg ister, after the football game in which the Birmingham Athletic club was de- feated, some time ago interviewed MT Hennessey on the contest:
 Did you see the basketball gamer asked MT. Hennessey.
 Sure, 1 thought it was foight," said MT. Dooley.
 Would you like to play the gamer" said MT. Hennessey.
 Not without an ax handle" said MT. Dooley.
 However, the local team Is full of con- fidence, and will play basketball as 1t should be played They propose to let Mobile scrap as much as she wants, but are going in to pile up the score They will play Mobile just as clean game as they did the sportsmanlike Notre Dame bunch which came through here, but were roughly handled in Mobile. Of that game the Register had this to say:
 .'As to the merits of the game there were but few, if any, both teams and likewise the gathering indulging in the most unsportsmanlilSe tactics, and those who were not thoroughly familiar with the points of the contest would have as stunned that they were witnessing a rough

 The local admirers of the Birmingham team will be out in force to see the fun and to see that the local boys get a square deal. The big, tall giants from Mo- bile will find crowd here that can yell and hoot and make a noise for the home team.
 So much depends upon this series which Mobile plays during the week that the widest excitement will be exhibited at every game. Mobile must win two games on the trip to win the championship. In case she wins only one she will be tied with the Birmingham Athletic club. Should she win none at all, the club will become the champion It remains to be seen whether Mobile can do the trick which no other Southern league team has ham Athletic clubs which won from the local Y. M. c. A., this being the only exception.
 Mobile plays Montgomery Tuesday. If she wins then she will put all her strength into the fight here, while if she loses in Montgomery the battle here will be the last and supremest effort. The local team will be in fine shape and will play it's best basketball

TO TRY FOR NEW RECORDS

Ralph De Palma according to the As sociated Press dispatches, had every
 thing his own way in New Orleans yes-
 terday, winning every event in which he was entered.
 The winner of secondary honors was
 not Lewis Strang, nor George Robert son, nor Jimmy Ryall. nor any other of
 the male celebrities entered She was
 the woman champion, Mrs. John New
 ton Cuneo. The reports state that she
 drove wonderfully and masterfully.
 turning the curves sharply and fear
 lessly and threatening to win on sey-
 eral occasions.
 Robertson and Strang had little snc- cess on the first day, but before the
 carnival concludes Monday afternoon,
 both will be heard from. it is believed. On account of the fact that the ma
 jority of the racers who appeared in
 New Orleans yesterday, and whose
 deeds will be the feature of the sport
 ing market for today and tomorrow will be in Birmingham Thursday and Friday of next week, local racing en- thusiasts were deeply interested in yes
 terdays results, and The Age-Herald telephones were monopolized by those who sought information.
 Birmingham will draw the cream of those appearing in New Orleans, De- Palma, Strang, Chevrolet, Buick, Ryall, proabbly Robertson, and last, but in some respects greatest of all, Mrs. John Newton Cuneo, the star of yes- l terday's events.
 Concerning Mrs. Cuneo a very clever story is told. It seems that in 100-
 mile race on Brighton Beach some | years ago. an Italian driver was en- tered against several contestants, one
 of the number being the woman cham | pion. The Italian was struck with the nerve of the woman, and stated that his
 respect was so great that every time I he passed her car he would raise his hat. But Mrs. Cuneo took the lead, and although she was able to finish no
 higher than second, the dapper little
 Italian was never in hailing distance. ] The races will begin Thursday. The l feature will be the mile dash for the
 record now held by De Palma. There will be a 5. 10 and 50-mile event and 1 opportunities for amateurs Local au- 1 tomobile owners will be on hand with ] their machines, and the sight will be an inspiring one.
 Thursday night at 8 o'clock the 24- hour race will begin. Strang, De l Palma, Robertson and Burnam are en- tries for certainty, and Mrs. Cuneo | may attempt the daring feat Secretary Thomas s. Abernathy is al- ready getting the track in shane He has almost completed the preliminarfes Wagner, who refereed the Vanderbilt
 cup race, and the Savannah events, will officiate in Birmingham. The racers. on special car, will arrive wednes- | day morning.

4OOO BOYS IN
 MARATHON RAGE

Pittsburg, February 2o.-Four thousand boys under 16 years of age competed here today in modified Marathon race of 10 miles, and more than 5000 of the con- testants finished the race.
 John L. Sylvester, aged 15, of the north side came in first, his time being one hour and one second.
 William Mears and J. c. Rooney fol- lowed the leader closely, finishing in the order named.
 The majority of the boys had received little or no traiaing and started in the race dressed in street clothes and an odd assortment of running togs. The route of the race was crowded by relatives and friends of the young runners to such an extent that street car and other traffic had to be abandoned.
 Owing to a misunderstanding 1000 boys got false start, and the police force on duty with the officials had a hard time bringing them back. many of the boys getting a mile and a half from the starting line.
