 TWO EXAMPLES
 The two outstanding stars of the pres ent era are playing positions different than those in their younger days. Baoe Ruth originally was a pitcher and a re- markable one at that If it wasn't for the fact that he is so valuable from the hit ting standpoint that he is needed in every game. he would have been saved TOT mound work and probably estabhsned
 himself as one of the greatest left-hand- CTS of all time. Ruth not only plays the outfield and pitches in an emergency. but he also plays first base with splenoid success. , What is true of Babe Ruth Is equally true of George Sisler. He was a pitcher in his college days. When the brownS got him if was with the primary purpose of using him as a flinger.

Local Quints
 To Clash On
 BAG. Floor

Birmingham's first big bas- ketball game between local teams will be staged here to- morrow night, when the Bir- mingham Athletic club quintet clashes with the cage team of Birmingham-Southern college. It will be the seasons opener for both teams.
 The Partners have already had a taste of battle, though for the college re- serves are members of the local City Basketball league, and they played their first game Wednesday night at the Y. M. c. A.
 In that game Coach Charlie Brown gave some of his new players a try-out One youngster who showed up in mighty good form was Red" Richardson, the recruit from Goodwater. Richardson played all over the court and made a favorable impression OH the many fans who witnessed the games Wednesday night.
 The Partners are well taken care of at center in Shorty" Propst, who plays the pivot position in basketball game almost as well as he does on the grid iron.
 AT GUARDS
 At guards. there are many promising and reliable candidates. "Big Hoss'' Candy seems a fixture at guard, with several others scrapping it out for the other position. Vardaman, a letter man of last year, is showing up mighty well. as is Green, Bagley Saffarans and Richardson. Any one of the above named group might start the game Saturday night. Also, it is no sure thing that Candy will start, but it is probable that he will.
 The forwards are also we'll taken care of. In Miller, Griffin and Norton, Coach Brown has a trio of goal shooters sec- ond to none in the city. It seems toss- up between these three for the two posi- tions Saturday.
 CLUBBERS COMING ALONG Coach Hutsell has been wasting no time in preparing his charges for the game Saturday night Believing that a good start will pave the way to suc- cesful season, Hutsell has instilled bis athletes with the idea of victory and consequently the clubbers are laying for the Panthers
 Hutsell's men will be put through their final work -out for Saturday nights game tonight.
 As yet it is impossible to tell who is likely to hold down varsity positions or the club quintet this season. The race has narrowed down to a dozen or Sd men, though, and it will be from this group that Coach Hutsell will pick his starting team tomorrow night B. A. c. SQUAD At guards, there are Clem Laugnlin- house, Clemmie Shugerman, Frank Smith and Bill Waldron.
 From the following Coach Hutsell will pick his forwards: Shine Montgomery Hugh Montgomery, Bill Moughon, CHIC Chisholm and Bill Moore. | It's almost impossible to try to dope out the winner of the game Saturday as neither team has been seen in action tilis season. Of course the E. A. c. will mss the services of such stars of last season as McGowan,, Stock and Gillian, put there are newcomers who promise 10 Ill the shoes of the missing ones equaaiy as we'll as they did themselves. The game Saturday night will begin, al I9:3O o'clock and will be played on the E. A. c. gymnasium floor.

HAYDEN WANTS
TO MAKE TEST
CASEOF RATES

Phoenix. Ariz.. Nov. 20.-Repra-
sentative Carl Hayden has voiced the
opinion that the ruling Of the inter
state commerce commission requiring
interstate railroad rates to correspond
20 the higher levels OF interstate rates
is an encrOachment on states rights
Declaring too much Capitalization
in the government to be dangerous,
Hayden said Arizona should at once
make a test case to be tried in the
supreme court Of the United States.
The ruling Of the interstate COM
merce commission, ordering railroads
in New York 10 establish passenger
and baggage rates on interstate traf-
fic TO conform TO advanced interstate
schedules was followed with interest
in Arizona. This was one Of several
states which denied the interstate in
crease OF 25 percent on freight tariffs.
20 percent On passenger fares, so per
cent Pullman fares, 20 percent eN-
cess baggage charge. and % percent
charge Of milk TRANSFORMATION when
application for those increases was
made 10 the state corporation com
mission.
Corporation commissioner r. A.
Jones. before whom the hearing in
Arizona was conducted, said that
while the ruling OF The interstate
commerce commission was directed
only TO she state Of New York. the
same principle might apply to other
states which had denied the increases
Commissioner Jones said he had
been advised from Washington that in
instances in which a state commission
had denied arbitrarily the desired in
creases. the interstate commerce com
mission had moved promptly to over
ride the state commissions authority,
but that when increases had been de-
MED on the ground that railroads had
not complied with stare laws, another
problem had been presented which
had not yet been. solved
Our order denying the increases
was based wholly on the ground that
the railroads had not compiled win
the state law" the commissioner
said
