B. A. [. CAME WITH AUBURN CANCELLED Coach Brummage Is After Game With Mississippi
 Aggies

The Birmingham Athletic club cancelled it's game with Auburn last night and the Brummage five took an off day. Coach Brummage received a wire yes- terday from Auburn stating that the new gymnasium was not completed and the game would have to be played out of doors.
 Rather than take chance of having all of his men put on the injured list. Coach Brummage called the game off. The return game with the Plainsmen will not be played now unless the gym Is completed before next week.
 Coach Brummage started yesterday looking for new center, owing to the fact that Gordon Robinson has quit. Either Gillian, Seals or Baker will be substituted. The absence of Robinson will materially weaken the team. It's a serious problem because of the approach ing series with the Y. M. c. A, and Coach Brummage will try out several men before assigning one man to the job definitely.
 Another game will be booked by the locals for this week. Negotiations are on with Mississippi A. and M for a game the latter part of the week.

teams of higher ranking they would have undoubtedly attained a better standing. It was good showing for the locals, con- sidering the fact that this Is the first season in a number of years that they have met out-of-town teams.
 The Columbus Y. M. c. A., at one time 8 strong contender for the title, by a number of defeats was forced to accept ninth place. The Columbus five lacked the old-time punch that made them the Dixie champions for several years. and the standing achieved this season is far below their standard The Chattanooga Y. M. C.. A. Is tenth by their close game with the local Y. M. c. A., and their vic tory over Memphis.
 The Memphis Y. M. c. A. is eleventh, although they cannot boast of victory over any team in the above ranking. Comparative scores. however, show that they earn a place above Mobile Y. M. c. A., which is awarded twelfth place, and Montgomery Y. M. C.. A., which takes the last of the places among the 1S contend CTS. Neither of the last three teams de- feated any strong team but won their places only by the fact that no other teams are in the race to challenge their standing.
 Other minor teams in all parts of the south fall in line, but their abundance and lack of interest in the final outcome for these institutions cannot justify a ranking for them. The past year was successful in every way and no southern team can challenge the record set up by Atlanta for the championship. If Br- mingham admits it, no other team in the south could possibly challenge the Crack CTS glory with any backing for the state ments.
 It's great honor for Atlanta. and Br- mingham feels as though the Crackers deserve unanimous praise and compli- ment
 Louisiana State university and Auburn are purposely left out of the ranking as both failed to achieve any important vic- tories that would give them worthy standing. Auburn was defeated by sew erai secondary college teams in the state who in turn humbled L. s. U. For this reason they are omitted, as are several other unimportant teams, although some won several victories.

FRANK ANSWERS ANDREWS LETTER Cracker Pilot Says Andrews Reflects on Entire
 League

Atlantas February 26.--( (Special.) ) Manager Charley Frank of the Crack CTS gave out card to the press in answer to a letter his attorney re- ceiyed from President o. B. Andrews of the Chattanooga club, in which the latter evades the issue to prove his assertions or leave the league.
 Frank states that any man who is afraid to submit such a matter to his associates is unfit to be longer as- sociated with them. He also quotes the Chattanooga Times on authority for the first Andrews interview and intimates that Andrews is trying to pass the responsibility to the Times.
 His intimation that the other mem bers of the schedule committee were mere figureheads and dupes and were led into indorsing the schedule by my superior sagacity and finesse is either false or his stupidity is stupendous,' writes Manager Frank. He is welcome to either horn"
