It's probably a good thing for some
 of the country's best middle and heavyweights that the war came on, for if it was not for the fact that
 Uncle Sam is at loggerheads with Kali

 ing the features of sundry 'hopes"
 Into gibes--or even smaller frag-

 Ritz is the sensation of Camp
 Mcclellan among the followers of the squared arena activities there and those soldier boys just naturally be- lieve that he could give Jess Willard cards and spades and beat him to the sleep punch. The padded glove hero of Mcclellan will be seen in action at the Athletic club Saturday night when pugilists from Mcclellan match their wares against the duke propellers from Camp Sheridan
 Walters is a member of the Hath l field artillery and carries around a punch as effective and destructive as "I5." He looks the part of a typi- | cal fighting man, but, strange to say, l he has gained most of his skill and ring generalship since entering the army. Clean living and compulsory

Sugar Creek Gorge
 Breaks and All Down
 River Points Are Saved

Cincinnati, Ohio. February 12.-With the breaking of the great ice gorge at Sugar creek this afternoon the danger of disastrous flood at this and ad- jacent points along the Ohio river was averted, at least temporarily. The river in the Cincinnati harpor fell two feet during the first hour of receding and the United States weather bureau pre- dicted that it would be within it's banks by tomorrow morning. At o'clock to- night the gauge registered 57 feet, or z feet above the flood stage.
 The breaking of the gorge came as decided relief here as the water which already had inundated a large area. was within a few feet of places that would have paralyzed railroad transportation and stopped street car service in the lower part of the city.
 Several of the street car lines running into the Kentucky cities of Newport and Covington had already been abandoned and 1t was only a question of few more feet to put them entirely out of commission.

 tet in the Local Game

University, February 12.-(Special)- 1.-The ing long and hard practice every after noon in preparation for their next visit to Birmingham Saturday night. when they meet the central Young Mems Christian association team. The great need of the team at present is team work, and the practice every afternoon is specially designed to remedy this need.
 The university will have one more game before the Young Mems Christian association quintet is met, when BT- minghaIn college comes next Thursday night. The college team is largely an un- known quantity, but no chances are be- ing taken, and every precaution is being made for a hard game. The defeat of the team last Saturday night by the Lou isiana State university team was not a very great disappointment Fouls beat the Alabama team, as 1t scored more field goals than their opponents. The team is being taught to play without fouling now, and when they meet the Young Mems Christian association they will be able to play winning ball.
 It is definitely known now that Cap tain Ben Anderson, who left school re- gently on account of illness. will not re- turn this season. and Walter Agee. a Birmingham boy and guard of last years team, has been selected for the captaincy. Walter Kennedy and Clyde Nelson are being used in Anderson's place at for ward with the preference going to Ken nedy because of more accurate shooting. Marvin Mccullough is still starring at center. and Walter Agee and John Coch- rane are at the guard positions, The scrubs that will probably take the trip are Sparkman, Dugger, Alston.

The town was settled prior to the

early records are in bad condition and
many are lost. The author has included
in the volume the historical notes gath
cred by him during many years of re-
search. The names of the early settlers,
location of their farms, with names of
late owners, makes the work of genoa
