Locals Shoot Wildly for Baskets -McGowan and Gillian Star for LOcals-Victory of Crackers
 Locks Championship of South - Splendid Guarding of Weaver and Carter Breaks Up Pass Work of Locals

Forward Forbes was the real star ot tho Atlanta team. He shot spectacular goals from all angles of the court, ringing no less than 10 goals from the field and shooting one foul goal. His pass work was uncanny and once left uncovered he registered whatever goal he shot for.
 The guarding of Weaver and Carter was as much responsible for the local victory as the work of Forbes on the offensive. They watched every man and repeatedly broke up pass after pass when it thro"-- ened disaster for the locals.
 Innis Brown, the former Vanderbilt football star, handled the game and gave entire satisfaction. But IA fouls were called during the game, Il on Atlanta and on Birmingham.
 Lineup and summary:
 Birningham-Satteri and Bazeltor, right fleld McGowan, captain. left field; Robinson, Ennigican and Strange, cen ter; Seals, right guard: Gillian, left guard.

Atlanta February 5.-(Special.)-Th prize list for the second annual tourna- ment of the Southern Bowling congress, which is to be held in Atlanta the week of April 24 to 29, will probably undergo some changes in the next few days.
 The executive committee in charge of the arrangements for the tourney an- nounced 10 prizes in the singles, 12 in the doubles and four in the fve-men event. with two special prizes in each event for
 the out-of-town teams only It is more than likely that the prize list will be changed to read eight prizes in each event or 10 in the singles and eight in the other two.
 It also seems likely that the prize money will exceed $6O0, and that there will also be medals and silver trophies for special prizes.

HUNTER M|LE-RACE
 WON BY CALDWELL
 BY GREAT FINISH
Results of Annual Games of Boston Athletic Associa- tion Bring Surprises.
 Closely Contested

Boston. February 6.--From the obscur- ity of fourth place, 80 yards from the finish. D. $. Caldwell of the Boston Ath- letic association rushed past an all- champion and two other fleet runners to victory by margin of inches Tn the famous Hunter mile race at the annual games of the Boston Athletic association tonight. The former intercollegiate hail. mile champion, trying his pace over the mile distance for the first time in recent years, apparently had been run into the ruck by changing spurts.
 Joie w Ray of Chicao, the national amateur mile champion, was lenthening his stride in the lead; Mike Devanney of New York, last years winner or the event, was crowding him closely, ana Syd Leslie of New York was third when Caldwell sped by them to an unexpected success The time was 4 minutes zoA seconds.
 A duel between Willie Kyronen of the Millrose A. A., New York, and A. D. Colby of the Boston A. A., in when the former won, marked the finish or the three-mile run. Eight men started, put the pace was so swift that only three entered the final mile. Colby went out to 50 yard lead and retained most Of his advantage until the last lap, when Kyronen sprinted and breasted the tape first. The time was b minutes seconds.
 Frank P. O'Hara of Massachusetts Institute of Technology beat Jose Loomis of Chicago, national dash champion, Tn the 4O-yard dash of 45 seconds.
 In the A5-yard hurdles, J. J. Eller, a New York policeman, won in 1-5 sec onds, with college men pressing him closely. Undergraduates, however, proved their strength in the 16-pound shot put, w. H. Allen of the University of Maine, and c. w. Spears, the Dartmouth foot ball star, betterlng the efforts of J. J.. Cahill of the Millrose A. A., New York
 The former Australian mile champion, James A. Power of this city, running tirement, won the one-mile handicap run. Boston club athletes bested all col lege runners in this event.
 Harvard gained a victory over Yale in the most important team events through the running of Captain Bing- nam. Twice he overcame the leads gained by Captain Overton of Yale and barely beat Overton for the finish.
 In settlement of other relay race rival ry, Harvard won over Cornell; Boston Athletic association defeated the New York Athletic club and later won from Millrose Athletic association; Dartmouth defeated Syracuse; Brown won from Williams, and Dartmouth scored against Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
 Settlement of the relay championship of Maine colleges was prevented by an injury to c. Zegler of Maine. Maine and Bowdoin eliminated Bates and Colby in trial races and probably will decide the final later.
 A decision of no race was returned in the contest between Massachusetts Agri- cultural college and Worchester Polytech- nic institute because of irregularities
