One Vote in Opposition.

+ In the vote on certain sentences Rep-
resentative MacRae alone was heard in
opposition; then on the vote on the reso-
luton as a whole Mr.. Scudder of Rich
mond announced himself opposed. These
were the only voices heard in dissent.
When the currency. discussion was fin
ished, Acting President Reynolds gave
the gavel over to another, and made a
statement, saying: -
This meeting resulted in the most posi-
tive action ever taken by the bankers OF
America on the currency question-frst.
because it is the largest convention ever
attended to-discuss this question, repre-

full discussion of the subject and every
opportunity was given the bankers to ex-
press their Views.
There were present about =. fD bank
ers representative of the views of nearly
1000 gathered at this convention from
all parts of the United States. Yet there
was only one dissenting vote when a rls-

it will be possible to give the members
of Congress clearer expression or the
views Of the bankers than was extended.
This has been given without desire IN

BASk ETBALL SEASON
WHEN TWO ORGANIZATIONS
CLASH HERE THURSDAY
NIGHT-INTEREST INTENSE

It's going 10 be a case of when Greek
meets Greek" Thursday night. when the
Birmingham Athletic club five and the
Mobile Young Mems Christian association
basketball aggregation tie up on the
local club court.
The proverblal rivalry between Alabama
and Auburn has nothing upon the same
feeling as existing between these two or
ganizations when it comes to basketball
supremacy
Both are reclloned by southern critics
to have two of tho most powerful fives in
Dixie. and when they get together Thurs
day night there is a probability that q
contest will result which will furnish con-
versation for local enthusiasts for some
time to come.
It will be the first time that these two
aggregations have met ON the court in
three years. Athletic relations between
the two were abandoned two years ago
ON account of dsagreements arising from
intense rivalry These dsagreements have
been healed. but the rivalry exists in
divers and sundry quantities,
Coach Donahue of Auburn has been se-
lected to referee the contest. This selee-
tion came after several weeks of argu-
ment regarding the. selection Of an official
to handle the contest
The selection of Donahue was wise
one. The AubYn coach, non-partsan,
and thoroughly familiar with the game
should be able to give entire satisfaction
to all concerned. and leave the losinS
team without excuse for defeat.
On Thursday night one of these two
teams must be eliminated from the con
test for the southern championship title.
There n no such thing as a tie in a
basketball bout. One team must be elin-
mated. This VIII add to the determiaa
tion of both ageregations, and they will
Undoubtedly furnish the local sporting
public one of the fastest exhibitions OF
basketball that has been staged in iiit-
mngham in some time
Preparations for handling the large
crowd expected to be on hand is already
presenting itself as a problem for Tho
b. A. G. authorities. Interest in the game
is keenly felt here. and 1t is probable that
the largest crowd that ever witnessed
such contest will gather at the b. A. c.
Thursday night.
