 Chairman Wenck of the commission an nounced that Willard had declined to box and that the commission had ordered he should no longer be permitted to charge the fee of 9 cents admission to those wishing to see Willard at work This he has been doing since he began his train ing here.

 Boston, Detroit. Chicago. New York and St. Louis will be strong in 1916; stronger, perhaps than they were in 1915. New York by getting Baker, secured a fine perform CT and player who will be a lot of help to Donovan.
 TANKS IN FIGHT
 Bill Donovan, New York: The addition of Home Run Baker has put the High flanders in a great spot, so far as winning the American league pennant is con cerned.
 Remember. we play IT games In the Polo grounds, and Bakers mighty clouts are liable to count for & lot. Baker Ia also a pretty fair batter in the other parks and the securing of him means more to us than the signing of any other player.
 I figure that Detroit has great chance tc win the pennant if it secures one more pitcher to work regularly along with Dauss and Covaleskie. Dubuc may staga a comeback but the Tigers are most like ly to find capable workmen in James or Lowdermilk or one of the recruits. Bose ton Chicago and St. Louis are tho other teams in the race, according to my Wqy of figuring. Washington has just an ou1- side chance to slip in. #

OTHER TEAMS RANKED

Bibb County High school is seventh. Shelby County High school is eighth. the Ensey High school ninth, Marshall Coun- ty High school tenth, with numerous other teams in ranking below. The above four teams achieved victories only of minor importance and none presented a very formidable lineup.
 Of the teams that are not ranked here. Marbury High school and the Sixth Dis- trict Agricultural school. from Hamilton. deserve special praise for the effort they made during the past season. Although they did not succeed in winning a few gs mes and then laying claims to the championship, the brand of sportsman ship they showed did much to place state high school athletics on a higher scale.
 The season was very successful. and the Central quintet fighting the whole season through, earned the highest honors available only by demonstrating that they had the best team in the state-and with out doubt. Congratulations to the Gen. tral team and their coach.

 ham college and Marion by big scores. Doesn't this offset the defeat of the locals by the Preds? Central defeated Cumberland university by large score; Ensley and Bessemer were also humbled as well as numerous other high school teams, too numerous to mention.
 ETOWAH HAD WEAK SCHEDULE
 These victories give Central 8 clear claim over the Etowah five who would havc undoubtedly made better show ing if they had longer or more stren- uous schedule. Etowah, however, takes second place in the ranking by a neat margin over Sidney-Lanier High school Of Montgomery. Lanier failed to show that they had team of championship calibre True, they defeated Tuscaloosa ard Mobile, but other wins were over teams seldom heard of The Capital City five cannot complain in getting third place. after failing to have formidable schedule and meeting teams when a game was offered. The Lanier five may be team of championship ability but the results of their games fails to show their strength.
 Walker County High school wins fourth place, although undefeated throughout the past season. The Jasper quintet cam not be considered real contenders. as all of their games were played on an out door court, violation of the rules. They are considered in this ranking. however, on account of the fact that a large num- Der of other state teams who play ex- clusively on outdoor courts were hum- bled by them. They had good team but could not have given the champions a hard game on any indoor court.
 Mobile High school comes next in line, with wins over teams in the southern part of the state, but lost any higher TO hiking by failing to meet any of the ccntenders. Tuscaloosa High school is sixth with wins over all teams with ex- ception of Sidney -Lanier, which they held to A two-pOint victory

cation nearly IS years ago, on bor-
rowed capital of $500. Today he owns
property that pays him over $500 per

for out of this business. He retired
from active business 60 days ago, sold
out his stock of merchandise and has
bought a farm in south Alabama, on
which he proposes to take it easy hence
forth.
Ordinarily this place would be entitled

take care of it. However, this won't
count in the price. for we are author
lied to offer 1t at real bargain. The
store cost $500 to build and the resi-
dence cost $500 and the ground would
be cheap at $1,000. In addition. theNstore
fixtures complete go in with the deal
and these could not be duplicated for
$500. They consist of counters, shelv-
ings, handsome glass showcases, COM
plete modern meat market outfit ard
