The BeSSemer team IS also considered
 a championship possibility. Coach Col
 Her. working with excellent material is
 shaping a basketball varsity to be feared. Several of the stars of last
 seasons football team are trying out
 for the quintet. Among these are Baty,
 hard hitting, swift, plunging fullback; Waller, brainy quarterback; Merritt,
 speedy half; Grigsby Sweet and Thom- as, linesmen.
 Although they were handicapped by
 late start. the Tigers are fast round- ing into excellent shape for battle. Coach Collier has been working the men hard, and is confident that his purple Tigers will be able to hold their own against the Crimson Centra1ites. The two rival quintets will meet in Bessemer Tuesday afternoon. The bat tie in prospect is sure to be hard one, for both teams are fast, we'll coached, aggressive and game. Aside from these facts, there exists great but friendly rivalry between the two schools. The tie battle to which the two football teams fought last Thanksgiving has tempered the atmosphere to the exact degree of excellence. and each player ! on the two teams is toeing the mark, awaiting the shrill of the whistle an 1 nouncing the beginning of the game.

'DRAAK AND LEWIS | ID MEET AT B. A. {.
Excelsior Battle In Vie, When Two Rivals
 Clash Feb. 2

A battle, which promises to- excell all others in fiercenessI and intensity, is in view for To- cal wrestling fans when "Strangler" Lewis clashes with Tom Draak at the Birmingham Athletic Club. These men are rivals of ancient standing, and will probably decide all dis putes when they meet next Monday night, February 2.
 The men are evenly matched, by al comparison on paper. Their weights. ages and experience are just about the same. Both men will balance the beam aroand 2So pounds, both are about 2s years old, and both have been in the grappling game about the same num- ber of years.
 The two men have met before, but have never decisively decided the su
 periority of the one or the other. Next Mondays bout will in all probability
 De the last meeting between these
 wrestlers, and it will decide which is
 the better man.
 Lewis, although he is putting on weight, is still in prime condition. However, his match with Ivan Paddub-
 ney proved the fact that he is not un-
 beatable. The Russian Lion had Eddie at his mercy several times. but at last
 the experience of the "strangler'' won out. Tom Draak has had as much ex perience as Lewis, and really stands 3 good chance to conquer the mighty Kentuckian.
 Draak is always an interesting grap- pier to watch at work. He is as much of an acrobat as he is a wrestler, and
 while in the ring he jumps and bounds about. He can bound to his feet when flat of his back with little apparent effort. His speed and dazzling foot work may prove the undoing of Lewif despite the fact that the latter pos sesses a splendid line of retaliation and counter graphing himself. This match indeed promises to be a great one; in fact, one of the best seen here in some time. Both men are top notchers, and from the looks of l things stand about equal chances to win. Tickets will go on sale at the R c some time this week

batting average for 21 years was .533, Anson's .3s7 and Wagner's .s27
 Keeler owns the highest batting work Of the quintet. He hit for .4S2. Second -nlace goes to Lajoie with 422, third place to wagner with .421 and fourth position to Cobb with .42o Wagner never hit be- yond 400, his best mark being .3s0.
 FOUL STRIKE RULE
 1t must be explained, in behalf of Cobb, that he made his 40 mark in the days when the foul strike rule was operative. The other three who hit beyond 400 did so in the days before the first two fouls counted as strikes. And it has been de- termined by baseball experts that the foul strike rule handicaps the batting av- craze at least 2S points. So if Cobb had been hitting them in non-foul strike days at .he same clip as he did in 1911, his record would lave been .445.
 Wagner leads the crowd in the matter of consecutive years beyond 300. His record embraces r. Second place belongs to Anson with 15, while Keeler and Cobb are tied at IA. Eleven is the Lajoie achievement.
 Blt Cobb isn't through yet It is more than likely that before his batting days are over he will add at least four more years to his consecutive 300 hitting mark and so eclipse the batting mark of the Frying putchman"
 Here are the figures covering the mighty five, which shows how they com pare:

 The local man says that fl llm merman isn't good enough for New York, he isn't good enough TOT the Pirates either, and that there is

The careers of four have ended. Of
 the group, Cobb alone remains in baseball
 harness Anson survived 9 years of
 major league warfare; Keeler lasted IS. V hile IAjoie and Wagner endured for T years. Ccbb has just completed his fifteenth season, and looks fit and able
 to travel along another half dozen years at the very least before he, too, must fade into the mists of retirement. The only possible way to compare those five athletes in the matter of walloping ability is to take the figures for the first 15 years which each lived in fast com pany. Fer. taking a longer time than that would rot give the true angle, as ls years has been Cobbs limit up to the present time.
 FIGURES FAVOR COBB The figures show that Cobbs work for t5 years has been infinitely better than any other or the ancient quartet. The southern tvphoon'' batted for mark oi 1 .371 for his first 15 years in fast com pany; Keeler's mark foDthe first 15 years was .351, Lajoi's $50, Wagner's .s45. and ! Anson's .SsS.

KID M'COY THINKS
 RUSHING BATTLERS
 ARE EASY FRUIT
Can't Understand Why Dempseys Tactics Are Hard for Opponents.
 Tells How to Retaliate

Things are not the same
 nowadays" moaned Kid Me
 Coy recently during a dis
 cussion of the ring success of
 Jack Dempsey, champion
 heavyweight. "In the old days
 fighters used to like to have
 their opponent rush at them as
 Dempsey does, and they were
 prepared to handle the rush. CTS in fine shape, but the pres
 ent-day crowd seems to be helpless when they meet a
 wild rusher and swinger," said
 the Kid.
 Mccoy was not banning Dempsey. He likes Dempsey and he admires the cham pion for the success he has had, but he
 has long since lost his patience with the
 modern crop of battlers over whom Dempsey crawled to the highest honors in
 the ring sports. He finds fault with the
 methods in vogue now that do not equip a boxer to meet situations such as Demp- sey always makes when the bell sends him into action
 T can't understand it." he said with
 a nod of his head, the pugs of today lseem to lose their noodle when an op- ponent makes a wild rush at them. Ap- parently they have no defense, and they don't know what in the world to do. Can you fancy a pug rushing at Jim Corbett,
 Kid Lavigne, Stanley Ketchel, Billy Papke, Rat Nelson or any of the others whom we like to term as old-timers? Say, they would have poked his head off. They were trained to meet just such emergencies and they would win in a round"
 M'COY KNEW HOW Of all the past masters in the ring game, Mccoy was probably the best at 1 stopping the rushers, although the Kid probably did not care to boost his own stock. Several millers tried that rushing game with Mccoy, btu they regretted it when he stepped aside and fairly bonn ] barded them with lefts and rights that fell with unerring accuracy to the jaw. On November 12, 1897, at Dayton, O., George La Blanche, a real battler, tried l to work the rushing tactics on Mccoy, and he went down and out in the first round Mccoy simply sidestepped La Blanche and hit him at will with his most select punches, while La Blanche was rushing and was unable to stop and get turned around. q was surprised that Willard fell for it." said Mccoy, but 1 suppose he was without a defense and was puzzled when Jack started to rush. It's new stunt, but it would not work against a boxer who had been properly drilled" said Mccoy.
