Bessemer and Ensley Grid Teams Meet Today at
 Redwood

The Alabama prep school football championship depends on the outcome of the Bessemer- -Ensley contest at Rick wood field this afternoon. For weeks and weeks from these two camps have emanated stories concerning the prowess of the respective teams but until very recently there was no prospect of match ing them upon the gridiron
 However, the battle was finally ar ranged and as a consequence the fans of this city will have an opportunity to view one of the most gruelling scraps ever put on in these parts. Both teams defeated Central High by narrow mar gin and the rest of the dope also indi- cates that they are practically even.
 Unlike most of the games seen here this season, this one will be character ized by vociferous rooting~on the part of the alumni and student bodies of the 'centending outfits. The rival coaches an nounced last night that each team was in the pink of condition and would have no aUbis to offer if defeat proved tc fbe their' lot.

Grew Leader

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, April 3.-There
is a possibility that when Harvard
and Yale row this spring some one
other than Coach Bill Haines will be
following the Crimson crew. When
plans were formulated for this race
the decision was made to select at
each college the varsity crews by
racing the first and second Fights a
few days before the regatta. At Har-
ward still further radical changes
were agreed upon, and as result
Coach Haines from now on will have
charge of the varsity eight and
Coach Brown will handle the junior
varsity, or second crew.
Haines will be allowed to draw
from Browns shell reasonable time
before the two crews meet, but the
latter coach is an excellent judge of
oarsmen and has q following which
believes that if conditions are nearly
equal his chances to defeat the
Briton's crew are excellent. and will
open up for the clever coach the COW
eted opportunity to race Yale.
The arrangements will toss coin

Held
To Four Hits,
But Win Out

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, April 3.--The
champion Giants bumped into real
trouble to-day, even if they did manage
to win by a score of 3 to /, when they
encountered the local Texas League
aggregation. This proved n much
tougher outfit than the soldier boys
who had been furnishing the Giants
battle up to this time. San Antonio
presented some good southpaw pitch
ing, and as a consequence New York
was held to four hits. Three of these
were punched with errors. the coinci-
dence furnishing McGraw's team the
runs necessary to victory. Dutch
Schafer to-day did not have an oppor-
tunity to give his ninth inning pitching
burleSque.
The Giants scored in the first inning
when Kauff took two bases on Lebeau's
muff and scored on Burns's double to
left. They nailed Georgia trying for a
triple. San Antonio tied it up in its
half of the first. Lebeau walked and was
caught mapping, but Holke threw low
to second. Lebeau scored on Sicking's
double
The National League champion won
in the fifth by scoring two runs. Doyle
was safe when his roller went through
Pier, and Pitcher singled to left. Holkc
knocked long double to right, sending
home the pair.
McGraw's champions now are
through with the bush circuits. They
open their ten-game series with Cleve-
land in Dallas tomorrow. The other
