GOV ERNMENT SHOULD
 FIE P IN ATHLETICS,
 SAYS MARCELO AGUDO

Aiieante, Spain, December 14.-Fos- tpninG of athletic sports should be taken ID by the state in Spain, accord 1tE tn Marcelo Agudo, one of the lead ing Supporters of athletics here.
 He has drawn up a programme, which he suggests should be adopted. In it he proposes that schoolmasterS should en- courage sports by giving facilities to the pupils to practice and to form clubs, also by establishing prizes through do- nations or subsidies. Athletic tracks and fields laid out near the schools are suggested with fixed days and hours for the sports and games. In order to attract novices who generally are pre- vented by flea rof ridicule from enter ing sports where practiced athletes are engaged, he thinks the masters should have q regular system of noviceS' events and also should arrange for con solation prizes to be awarded for the best performances. In order to bring up the general average of excellence he believe team work should be encour- aged rather than individual pre-emi- hence.

FiUes
 Working For
 Big Contest

The Birmingham Athletic cub cagesters are fast being whipped into shape for the opening basketball game of the local season Saturday night, when the fast quintet of Bir- mingham-Southern invades the gymnasium of the athletic club to meet Coach Hutell's Club bers.
 It will not only be the first big cage game for Birmingham. but it will also be the initial battles for the two local quintets.
 The B. A. c. clubbers have fast rounded into shape under the hard train- ing of Coach Hutsell, and from present indications will be in prime shape for battle Saturday night. ( Coach Charlie Brown has been work ing his Panthers hard for the fast ap- preaching basketball season, and his quintet will undoubtedly be in good shape Saturday night.
 B. A. C.'S ROSTER
 Coach Hutsell has a good squad out Ito practice three times week. His can- didates are all promising, and a majority of them have already had quSre a bit of experience.
 At center Hutsell has Baker and Bryan. Both are tall, heavy, but fast centers, and either would make a good varsity man for the club.
 At guards there are Clem Laughlin- house, Bill Waldron and Frank Smith. From these three basketeers Coach Hutsell will probably pick his pair of guards to start the game against the Panthers.
 At forwards there are Bill Moughon,

 Coach Hutsell has been doing his best the past week to instill something of the art of passwork into his squad. The Shine" Montgomery, Hugh Montgomery. team which practices each Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights has been showing quite an improvement the past few nights since Coach Hutsell began directing his attention to passwork.
 PANTHER PROSPECTS BRIGHT
 Perhaps no local basketball team has quite as bright prospects for the coming season as has Birmingham Southern. With seven varsity men of last season back and whole raft of promising and experienced candidates out for the team, the Partners bid fair to have one of the best basketball quintets ever produced at Brmingham-Southern.
 At center three men are possibilities, although one of them, Shorty Propst seems to have cinched the job. The other two are Candy and Miller, Y-,o play at guard and forward respect ~ when not doing pivot duty
 At forwards there are Miller, Norton Burney and Griffin, all of them letter men of last season. Coach Browns se- lection of his starting pair for Saturday has not been made yet, and probably will not be announced until just before the start of the game.
 At guards Brown has his greatest wealth of material. Some of the Panth- CTS most promising candidates Ioi guards are Candy, Saffarans, Richard son, Green, Vardaman and Bagley Candy and Vardaman are letter men of last season. while Saffarans and Rich ardson are new men, who have had much previous experience at prep schools.
 With two strong teams contending, the game Saturday night is likely to be a red hot thriller for the season opener of Birmingham.

 INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE ADOPTS ITS OLD NAME

New York, December 1.-The Ma tional Association of Professional Base ball leagues, known as the successor of the New International league, ceased to exist today, when the club owners voted to return to the old name. The circuit will therefore continue as the New In- ternational league.

NeW Compact WifhAmerican
 Is Accep te d

New York, December h. The National league at its an- nual meeting here today ex- tended for three years the term of President John A. Heydler, and granted to him a substantial increase in salary.
 President Heydlers present pay is $1O000 a year, and the increase, while it was not officially stated, is said to have been 50 per cent, which would make his annual salary $15,000. The additional three years will make his present term expire December 3l, l9Z4.
 The agreement with the American league, which is to run for 25 years was adopted and formally signed by each of the eight clubs and President Heydler. The agreement was adopted without even the suggestion Of an amendment
 The 1920 season, the presidents an nual report said, proved the most suc- cessful in the history of the National league. the paid attendance being more than 100000 in excess of the previous season. During the season the clubs used 27,924 baseballs, an in- crease over 1919 of 10,24S. This in- crease was due mainly to the enforce nent of the new pitching rules. said MT. Heydler.
 NEW RULES
 constitutional amendment was adopted which provides that when waivers are asked on players, the waivers may be withdrawn. Under the present rule when waivers are asked and club puts in claim for the player, the transfer must be con- summated.
 The league voted to recommend to the new advisory council created un der the new agreement that spitball players now playing in the league be permitted to use that delivery until the end of their careers in the league. This action was taken as a result of a com munication from Pitcher Bill Doak of the St. Louis club, and affects, besides himself, his teammate, Goodwin, Fill 1ingim and Rudolph of Boston; Douglas of New York, Grimes and Mitcfell of Brooklyn; Fisher of Cincinnati and Hendrix of Chicago. Doak in his com munication declared that if the spit ball were barred it would deprive those pitchers of their earning power as players.
 TO DRAFT SCHEDULE
 President Dreyruss of Pittsburg was named to act with President Heydler as a committee to draft the schedule for next season.
 The 1920 pennant was awarded of ficially to Brooklyn.
 There was much talk of trades be- tween the various clubs, but not a single deal was made. It was an- nounced that Connie Mack and Branch Hickey had agreed upon tentative plans for series of exhibition games in the south between the Philadelphia Athletes and the St. Louis Cardinals.
 The league will conclude its business tQmorroW.

 South Bend, Ind, December 14.- George Gipp Notre Dame football star, streptococcic throat disease.
 Gipp. whose splendid playing won him countrywid recognition, and made him choice for a position on an all-American eleven, had been i'll since the Notre Dame Northwestern game on November 20.
 HAD NO STAMINA LEFT
 Pneumonia also helped weaken the |athlete. Specialists called from 'chicl- go succeeded in ridding his system of pneumonia, however, but Gipp did not have the stamina left to ward off the poison resulting from the throat affec- ton.
 During the final hours of his fight for life, Gipp was rational and was said to show remarkable grit as he weak ened, refusing to give in to the inevita- ble. His mother, brother and eister were at the bedside when he died. Gipp first jumped into the spot light as an unusual fooball player when No Ire Dame clashed with the Army in I1919, when his kicking, forward ass- ing, field running and generllship won the plaudits of the eastern football critics.
 One ray of happiness was brought into the athletes few remaining hours when he was informed that he had been selected as player on d mythical all l-American eleven. During his Ill., ness he was also informed that he had been offered contract by the Chicago National League baseball club. Gipp's ability as a baseball player was on a par with that in football.
