 College Sports

It is confidently asserted that ath- letics on Sunny Slopes" at Birming- ham college will take new start when the session begins in September. While Munger field has been the scene of some gruelling contests during the last academic year, the burgeoning in- terest already manifested will repeat something of the old athletic spirit which has always characterized stu dent life at Birmingham college.
 pr. c. c. Daniels, the president of the consolidated colleges, is an en- thusiastic believer in sound athletics, and has already expressed himself to be in hearty sympathy with vigorous president is looking forward also tc a systematic course in military training. Munger field will lend itself splen- didly for military drill.
 One of the prizes offered for the first time this year for the best all around athlete is the cup offered by the Porter Clothing company of Birmin gham This manifestation of interest in ath- letics at Birmingham Southern on the part of this known firm is par ticularly gratifying to the students and to the friends of the college, and has already stimula ted the keencst rivalry on the part of the young col legians. i7is

YANKEES STAR IS VICTIM OF bALKS Herb Thormahlen's Record Shattered by Man in
 Unusual Way

It was a balk by Herb Thormahlen in the game of May 27 that allowed the run that broke his record of score less innings. Oddly enough it was a baIk that allowed the last run scored on him when he started on April 27 by Shottom of Washington. who was on third in the eighth inning when rhormahlen started to throw to first ,ase, then changed his mind He all lowed no more runs in that game On May he relieved Russell in the first inning of the game with the Athletics and went nine runless innings. On May J6 he held the Browns scoreiess in nine. Then he blanked the Chicago White Sox in l4-inning game on May 22. Next on May 2S he pitched without allowing runft to the Indians until the fifth inning. when his balk allowed Wamtsganss to score.
 Nor is the story of Thormahlen's fine pitching this season all done up in the run of shutout ball mentioned above. On April 23 at Boston he held the league leading Red Sox hitless until the first hitter had been retired in the ninth inning. Then came two success sive singles and an error. and he lost his game 1 to O. Tight pitching bat ties have tested his gameness to the limit, and he stands out today as one of the best young pitchers who has flashed across the major league cir cults in many day.

MOBILE PREXY SAYS BEARS WILL STICK Report States that Memphis and Mobile Are Ready
 to Toss Sponge

Chattanooga, Tenn, June S.-At a meet ing of the owners and managers of the various clubs of the Southern associa tior in Birmingham Monday, the ques- ton as to whether the league will be sus- pended or cut to a six-club circuit will be decided. Manager Charles Frank of Atlanta has made the suggestion that the question be put squarely up to the government and that the wishes of high officials prevail. Magnate Heinemann of New Orleans has started move to drop Little Rock from the association and substitute Camp Sheridan. Montgomery, Ala, on account of poor railroad sched- uIes to the Arkansas City. Reports are to the effect that Mobile wants to quit because the draft has riddled the team, while Memphis is in like mood on acs count of lack of interest in the Bluff City. The fate of the Southern associa- tion will be decided at the meeting Mon day.
 Mobile, Ala. June s.-"MobiIe club owners are we'll satisfied. the season has been as successful as we had hoped for and we have no idea of quitting," said President A. L. Staples, of the Mobile Southern league club, tonight. "Our team will not be seriously affected by the draft and we are in good shape. I wish to deny any runor that Mobile desires to give up it's berth in the Southern asso- ciatiOn"

An hour before the start it was an nounce1 that Jockey Lyke, who was to have piloted the Canadian topweight, would be replaced by Jockey Knapp. After the race was run many of Cudgels followers said that he had been asked to do too much during the last month, as this was the colts fourth hard race with in that period, and he carried a crushing impost each time. They also claimed that Jockey Lyke might have been able to get more out of him if he had been allowed 10 ride
 With only one minute delay at the post they were sent off to Joff from an ex- cellent start. with Hollister first to show. but Johren raced right up to him. Jockey Romirson raced Johren in front under a slight restraint and the col. always had speed enough to move away when Holl1ster tried to reach him. These two horses were perfectly handled sby their riders, while Cudgel was closer up to the racc than usual all the way, but whan called upon he showed nothing. Spur after showing a lot of speed for 8 mile, quit at the bend into the stretch, while Hendrie was always out-run. Cud- gel failed to respond to Knapps urging in the run through the stretch, where Battle, under her light impost closed a big aperture and went after the lead CTS.
 Johren, after leading all the way, had ] something in reserve at the end, wher he won. ridden out by a length and a half with Hollister second, two lengths in front O. Battle. The time, 2:06 was the slowest for this event since 1907, but the track had not dried out from the eeluge of Friday, and under the conditions the winners performance was very good. The value of the race to the winning owner was S5S50.
