'SKYWAYMEN"
MAY SOON HUNT
VICTIMS IN AIR

SAN FRANCISCO.-Unit States
west-bound air mail plane was shot
down and robbed in the Sierras at
daybreak today. The pilot was kill
ed and the plane set on fire to de-
stroy all evidence. Postal authorities
are hot on the trail and were report
ed late today to have the bandits
trapped in a mountain pocket
This hasn't happened yet. but is
being contemplated as possibility
by air mail authorities in charge of
the new transcontinental service.
Out in the lonely stretches of the
west, where pilots must fly for hours
through sparsely settled or waste
country, this new problem of the an
ticipated skywayman is confronting
the men whose duty is to safeguard
How he will attempt it when he
strikes, this "sky Fgent," IS al
ready a matter of sober speculation
among officials, but that he will put
in, a dramatic appearance as the air
mail settles into ssNed schedule
and becomes a routine part of the
country's transportation, isn't doubt
ed.
United States air mail offers tempt
ing bait to the daring breed who
stage coach and train. Fortunes arc
being carried in packets entrusted to
the pilots. And this class of mail
will increase as the new postal lines
develop.
In the western mountains where
the mail flies low over the creStS to
avoid clouds and storms, IT is often
well within rifle shot, and as the
routes are more exactly followed to
make schedule time, the chances for
ambush among the cragS Will grow.
Or-the first skywayman may elect
tn in the air after his
These possibilities are rot being
looked upon as a wild dream. They
are being given serious thought in
postal sanctums, and no doubt seri-
Gus thought in the realm of crook
doom, officials concede.
~ This, then, is the problem of pro-
tectiof& as it is being speculated
upon:
Shall the mail planes be armed as
were battle planes thus reducing their
carrying capacity and requiring a
greater number? Or
Shall they be kept unarmed, as at
present, and their safety entrusted
to pilots most of whom are eX-army
filters who have had desperate en-
counters above the fields of France?
Now the air mail pilot is armed
only with an automatic revolver. in
the more thickly settled sections of
the country the skywayman is seen
as remote possibility but in the
west, where a plane might be drop
ped and not discovered for days,
there is a real menace.
1T will probably come" says Col
John A. Jordan, superintendent CT
the United States aerial mail service
and then message similar to the
fiction lead at the toY~of this story
will come flashing over the wires.
But it will be q brave man who
attempts it," continued Jordan. "for
100000 secret service operatives will
never rest until they get their man.
And the penalty is worth consider
ing. Very few men convicted of
robbing the United States mails have
escaped with less than life imprison-
ment" ".

Dempsey to Meet Old Rival In Championship Bout - Has Defeated Brennan By
 Technical K. 0.

New York, December H. Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion of America and idol of Americas fistic fans, will have a real test of his prowess here Tuesday night when he clashes with Bill Brennan in defense of his title.
 Dempsey hns practically finisheds his training for the bout and is Tn absolutely the best condition of his career for the bout Tuesday. Champion Jack realizes that in Brennan he has nN "set-up' and that he must fight his hardest If he intends to duplicate his feat of several years ago and win the vic- tory.
 In the first meeting between Dempsey and Brennan Jack wns given . technical knockout vic- tory when the referee stopped the fight to save Brennan from further punishment. In that scrap. Demp- sey ably demonstrated thnt he was Brennan's master. Both hnve fm- proved greatly since that light, however, and the comparative abil- ity of the two is mereiy~a matter of speculation. Has Brennan im- proved more than Jacl<f That's the question. If he has, he stands good chance of licking the mighty champion. If he hasn't, then 1t looks like duplication of the first meeting between the two.

 POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS
 Mir. Toole ponted out possible compli- cations involving minor leagues under the proposed agreement presented by MT. Heydler. There was virtually unanimous agreement relative to the draft presented by MT. Toole, which provided for either of two final forms of agreement: one to be between the two major leagues with provisions for admitting the minor leagues as an association, as a party of the agreement, and the other a three party agreement, those parties being the National league, American league and the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues.
 The plan suggested by Mir. Toole pro- vides for commission composed Of Judge Landis and the presidents of the National and American leagues as ad- yisory members representative of the National association also would be a member in similar capacity. if the minor league association elects to come in under the agreement.
 SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTES
 MT. Toole explained that provision is made for the settlement of disputes be- twen two major league clubs or between major and minor league clubs in the fol- lowing manner: If the dispute be be- tween two major league clubs, their rep resentatives shall act in the matter; II the dispute be between a club of either major league and a minor league club, 1t shall be acted upon by the minor league representative and the representative of the major league involved
 In all cases, however decisions reached in such cases shall have the approval or Judge Landis, he to make the decision i'll any case where the representatives whose leagues are involved fail to agree. Under this plan President Heydler would have no say in a cas in which tn National league or any of it's clubs is not con cerned, and likewise President Johnson would not be called upon to sit In q case unless the American league or one of it's clubs were involved. It was an nounced that the committees were Of one mind regarding the principle of drafting players from leagues of lower classiflca- tion by those of higher classification.
 CAN'T BIND MINORS
 The committee representing the minor leagues, however, declared that it would not be able to bind all minD league clubs to a draft proposition luless fair and satisfactory price were agreed upon
 n this connection, the Baltimore club 5f the International league was men- toned, it being known that President Dunn of that club would not agree to any draft provision.
 Secretary John H. Farrell of the Ma tional association said he understood the American association and the Interna- tional league, as organizations, were op- posed to drafting of players, but it was Al,~ rnva finally ended some amicable agreement would be reached upon this point.
 It is understood that the Class leagues will hold out for price of $7,5O0 for players drafted from their clubs by the majors, but club owners of the Ma tional and Amercan leagues have stated their opposition to such a high figure,

PAINTERS NV
 GOOD SHAPE
 FOR BA TILE

Prospects for winning basketball quintet at Birming- ham-Southern college are brighter than usual these days, for never has such a promising squad of candidates turned out in answer to Coach Charlie Browns summons before.
 Seven letter men have returned this year and they are strengthened by a swarm of recruits who came to the Partners with much promise and with reps behind them. In fact Coach Brown has squad that promises strongly of championship outfit.
 PROPST AT CENTER
 At the pivot position, an old stand by is back again in the parsonage of one Shorty" Propst, well known in football circles as we'll as basketball. Propst is a splendid center, possessing the height and Quickness to make him a valuable man for any quintet. In addition to Propst, either Candy or Vardaman, who play at guard and for
 
 center. Any one of the trio is a re- liable center, although Propst seems to have an edge on the other two.
 FOUR FORWARDS
 At forwards there are four letter men out for the positions. They are Norton, Miller. Burney and Griffin The first pair seem to have have the call tc start the game Saturday, although nothing is decided yet
 Mike Norton is splendid little for ward. He is of medium heighth, but is fast on his feet and is a good passer Norton is shifty and this gives him an advantage over some of the heavier, slower guards that he will have to go up against.
 Miller, who played fullback on the Panther football eleven, is a tall, rangy chap, one who covers much territory or a gym floor without seeming to do so. He is an accurate shot from the field and he passes we'll
 Burney and Griffin are splendid lit- tie forwards although the light weight and comparatively small size of each places him at a disadvantage Burney and Griffin are both letter men
