TITLE GAME
Alma College Battles Kalamazoo for
the M. l. A. A. Bunting Friday.

The green Alma college basket ball
FIVE will face the supreme test Of the
entire season Friday night on the
local court, when the Maroon and
Cream stacks up against the kala-
mazoo college veterans in battle
which promises to ultimately decide
the Michigan Intercollegiate cham
pionship.
Kalamazoo has team Of veterans
which have gone through two hard
M. |. A. A. title races, team which
copied the title rag one season and
tied with Adrian and Alma last year
and her five is certain to be ready
for stiff battle when the teams mix.
Against this veteran five Alma will
pit a green team, containing just one
man who played collegiate basket
ball before this season.
Kalamazoo has lost one M. /. A. A.
game. while Alma so far has not lost
an association bout. Defeat for Al
ma will tie the two teams in the
standings, but as Alma finishes the
season on the road and Kalamazoo
finishes the season at home, a defeat
for Alma in the Friday night game,
will give Kalamazoo an edge that
should give her the title.
Every possible effort is being
Bonded to have the Maroon and
Cream in the best of shape for a
gruelling scrap with the Kalamazoo
five, as victory in this battle, will
at worst give the Maroon and Cream
tie for the 1919 championship, II
it wins just one Of the three road
games coming in the next three
weeks.
Kalamazoo-Alma games Of past
seasons have been most bitterly
fought, and with both teams appar'
emily fighting for the title in this
game, the crowd promises to be one
of the largest that has ever witnessed
basket ball game in this city.
The high school team will play 9
preliminary with the Greenville high
five and is in hopes Of breaking it,
losing streak. The indications are
that the two teams will furnish hot
scrap to the big battle Of the night

WRESTLING MATCH
Femby- Majead Match is Big Gard
This Week.

What promises to be one OF the
greatest wrestling matches ever
staged in Alma will be put on by the
Republic Athletic association at the
roller rink Saturday. The officials
of the association have at last got
the signature of Abd-El-Majead, Of
Turkey, TO meet Ernest Femby, IN a
finish match.
Majead will be remembered by
wrestling fans as the partner Of
Yussaff Hussane, the wonderful
Turkish wrestler who toured the
United States some seven or eight
wears ago. Hussane will be remem-
bered as the wrestler who changed
all his money into gold which he put
into belt and strapped around him
on his departure from this country.
Majead was with Hussane on this
Journey and on the way across the
Atlantic Hussane mysteriously dis
appeared.
1t was given out that Hussane had
Jumped overheard, having committed
suicide. Be that as II may, MaJead
had serious trouble with the Turkish
authorities in convincing them that
he was innocent of having any part
in the giant Turks disappearance.
For number of years after this

OBSOLETE SEA GIANTS
the New York Tribune.

from the New Iork Tribune.
 The super -dreadnaught California
 was launched on Thursday at the Mare
 Island navy yard. As she took the wa
 ter the keel of the Montana, a sister ship, was laid in the same yard Each
 of these giant warships will cost about
 $15,0o0, 900. The new super -dreadnaught
 group is the pride of our navy. These
 ships are at the top of their class
 as powerful as any vessels designed or
 afloat. But even before they get to
 sea they may be obsolete.
 The great war has rudely shaken all
 pre- existent theories of naval offense
 any defense. In the opinion of many
 high authorities the super -dreadna,g ght is as much a back number as the Sim
 pie dreadnaught or the pre- dread
 naught. Admiral Sir Percy Scott was scoffed al when he said, in 1914, that in the next war battleships would have to be herded in estuaries or narrow harbors and protected against submar- inc attack by booms or steel nets. This prophecy was not entirely fulfilled, for, siiNHouSn tue most powerful or the bat
 tleships were practically interned dur ing the first part of the war they eventually were enabled to go out to l sea by using moving destroyer screens. instead of fixed defensive barriers Yet
 even in the battle of Jutland Jellicoe avoided closing in with the enemy and striking a decisive blow because he 1 feared the results of a German de- stroyper attack.
 Lord Fisher tells with glee in his "reminiscences how he upset Won Tir- pitz's naval plans by inyenting the bat l tie cruiser. But he admits now that the battle cruiser was only passing type, already anticipated, and that all the monster surface warships of today
 must be discarded h future naval war i fare. The sea fighter of the next war, ! he says, must lie low in the water, have shallow keel and be submersi- ble. It will be subject to attack from 1 the air as well as by submarines. Great Britain he maintains, is spending mill | lions on ships which, under changed 1 conditions of naval warfare, will be "as useful as bows and arrows" And what the British admiralty is doing our navy | department is also doing.

 "Hence my first impression of Bir- mingham is the same as that of the American tourist on his initial visit to London during the foggy season" c. K. Elmo. remarked.
 But, believe me. Birmingham strikes me as one of the best cities in the south in which to hang up your nat and stay awhile. like your level site, your broad streets and your water And one thing in particular have l noticed-the courtesy extended GUS tomers by the clerks in your splendid stores. Tn some southern towns they are so chesty the patron is made to feel the store is doing him favor to permit him to buy their goods. I have had occasion to buy some things in threA different stores here and In each instance I could not help but note the politeness and accommo oGssa1g manner of the clerks"

Sweeping Victory for the
 Baptists of Birmingham

.WEsTERDAY was victory day for
 ] the Baptists of the Southern convention It was victory day in- deed for Birmingham.
 The churches of this district went far over the top, and the indications are that the state will go we'll beyond it's quota.
 The vast millions will go toward local missions, foreign missions, col leges and ministerial maintenance. Where does all the money come from :? It comes from the liberal purse strings of the Baptist people, and from the spirit of self denial.
 There have been great drives for this or that religious cause, but noth- ing equal to this victory day enter prise.
 Inc Baptlsts are numerous in the south. They are legion in Alabama. But the best of it is, they practice what they preach. They love their church and contribute accordingly.
 In many money-raising campaigns, the general public is solicited, but it is significant fact that in this drive only members of the Baptist churches were asked or expected to give. It was strictly Baptist affair.
 The Birmingham Baptists have set a great example-an example that will long be told with credit.

THE PAINTED WOMAN

of budding roses on her ivory back. old timers and veterans of several en- agreements might fitly be adorned with battle scenes or copies of the vibrant works of Rosa Bonheur.
 Artists who specialize in detail will be painting dainty gowns and lacy patterns on the backs of the mundane. When the fashion leader wished a nota- ble party dress she would not seek Parisian modiste. Instead she would go to the studio of the worlds great est animal painter and have her back adorned with fringe of spiders webs and leopard furs done in oil colors.
 For those who could not afford the work of the great masters there would be standard patterns-plaids and checks-that could be done in stencil at dollar yard.
 One of our massive Amazons with her broad back dohe over with a vene- tian sunburst or Mt. Baldy would be more imposing and impressive than ever.
 The new woman would also be more than ever work of art.
