In an impr0mptu practice basket ball game at the E. A. G. Auburn students, al1 residents of Birmingham. and alumni of Central, team of Cen trai, defeated q team of Central High school players, 45 to 22.
 It was only q practice game and was not recognized as one between teams of the two institutions. but 1t afforded the players themselves an opportunity to Timber up before the hard grind of daily practice begins once more.
 The superior shooting of the Auburn players accounted for their victory. With The Two Hubs Hub Hahn ana Hub Barks, in the Iine-up, the high school lads didn't stand a chance. Fred Hahn, captain and star basketeer of Centrals quintet of last season, played his usual jam-up game, and was just another factor in the defeat of the high school boys. Lassiter and Duke were good at guards.
 Toby Stubbs, at forward, was good for Central. Stubbs displayed unusua. ability at ringing up field goals. Bar ney Copeland at the other forward played good game also, while Gold stein at guard rang up a couple of beautiful field goals. Lawley, at cen ter and Rox. at guard, were good in their. floor work. Line-ups follow:

Class AA Leagues May Withdrawn From
 Minor League Body

Baltimore December 30.-The possi- bility that the International league and the American association may withdraw from the National Associa- tion of Professional Baseball leagues, composed of the minor leagues of the country, and enter the new national agreement as a separate and distinct body, is indicated in correspondence between President Hickey of the Amer ican association and Jack Dunn, presi- dent of thes Baltimore club of the h. ternationals.
 Judge Landis, baseball high commits sloner, IS quoted a s saying why the two Class A leagues should not en- ter the agreement to be adopted next month as class by themselves along the same lines as the National and American leagues.
 The chief cause of the dissatisfaction of the two big minors is the ruling of the National association that it be giv- en per cent of the gross receipts of all post-season series.
 President Hickey, in a recent letter to Dunn, protested against this rui. ing and declared he would withdraw from the national body rather than submit to it
 Manager Dunn, who agrees with Hickey in his stand, has asked Presi- dent Toole of the Internationals to have mail vote of the club owners Of the league taken on the situation, but thus far has not heard from MT. Toole.

TO HEAR THE CASES
 AGAINST RAGING
 OFFICIALS ON JAN. 5


 New Orleans. December 30.-Hearing of the cases brought against racing officials at the Jefferson parish track and alleged "oralizers" operating there, will be heard by Judge Gautier on Jan- uary> ,. No decision has been made as to the probable transfer of the racing programme schedule to open in Orleans parish next Saturday to the Jefferson parish track
 Thea bill of particulars filed against me Jefferson track officials and oral izers' are based on the observations of District Attorney Conrad Buchler and two of his deputies who visited the track recently and placed bets under the system employed there. This sys- tenn, they claim, is in violation of the Locke law.
 The announcement of District Attor- ney Marr of Orleans parish and Super intendent of Police Guy Molony, fol- lowing conference Wednesday night that policemen would be on duty at the fairgrounds track at the opening of the meet next Saturday to arrest all participants in any system of bet ting has thrown the race track fol- lowers into state of uncertainty and change in operations to the Jefferson parish track is being considered.

American Net Stars
 FaUored In Match s For Dauis Trophy

Auckland, New Zealand. Dec. So- American tennis players today scored double triumph over the greatest Australian net stars, and tonight held the position of favorites in the tourna- ment for the Davis cup, the historic championship trophy of the tennis world
 William T. Tilden II. of Philadelphia, battered down Norman F. Brookes cap- tain of the Antipodean team, while William T. Johnston, of San Francisco, virtually smothered Gerald l.. Patter- son. the brilliant young star who won the English championship from his teammate, Brookes, in 1919.
 The Americans need only one match to win the cup, The scores of the matches follow
 Tilden defeated Brookes 1O-s, 6-4. 1--6. and 6-4 Johnston defeated Pat terson 6--3, 6--1 and 6-1
 Brookes and Patterson have a chance to psrtia1ly redeem their position to- morrow in the doubles against Tilden and Johnston, and there are many who believe they are capable of gaining a trifle in the tournament being rated as the greatest double players on the courts today. The way Ti1den and Johnston ripped their way through the ~ON~N-~'No days contests, however. gave support ters of the Americans reason to believe that Brookes and Patterson must play supertennis to win even momentary respite from defeat in the tournament The final singles matches will be played Saturday.
 Tilden was plainly puzzled by the splendid volleying of Brookes today and Brookes maintained a terrific pace all through the match. Tildens bril- liant returns did much toward turning z the tide in favor of the Americans, although the heat and Brookes' age may have had something to do with the final result. Brookes' game was only slightly. below that shown when | he was in the heyday of his oldtime nmastery. Tilden's play Justified bis po- ksition as worlds champion.
 The match was played in two and & quarter hours, including intervals of .4sven minutes between the sets. It D las contested bitterly but in the most eaHPrtsmanlike manner, Brookes delib- Indhtely driving the ball out of the iu9Irt one one occasion in order to gereke up for an assumed error on the hisrrt of a line umpire

.CLUBBERS WIN THE
 SECOND CAGE GAME
 FROM VANDERBILT

Dying echoes of the football sea- son just past rang through the gay nasium of the Athletic club last night. when the Clubbers again defeated Van derbilt. 27 to 19. The game was fast and rough, rough because of the ex citement and enthusiasm of the players and not from any desire on the part tional rough house.
 From start to finish the two teams fought on almost even terms. Only hard luck on some of their shots and a sudden rally of the Clubbers pre- vented Vandy from tying the score in the last half and probably going into the lead.
 MANDY COMES BACK
 As they did the night before, The Commodores staged game eomeb back In the second half last night and came within one point of tying the score. With Alvin Bell playing all over the court at once, it seemed, Vandy for "a while rushed the Clubbers off their feet and 1t was beginning to look like a Commodore victory when Hungry" Floyd rang up a pretty field goal that seemed to steady the locals. From then on the Clubbers held the Commodores at bay and the score was 27 to 9 when the final whistle blew.
 Hungry" Floyd was the chief point scorer for the Clubbers, ringing up four field goals. Hugh Montgomery , was next with six goals after fouls. Gillie Chisholm went in during the second half and quickly scored a cou- pie of field goals and a goal after foul His offensive work was a prominent factor in the stopping of the Commo- dore rush in the last half.
 DEFENSIVE STARS The defensive work of Smith. Laugh linhouse and Bryan was excellent last night. The Commodores kept the ball under the Clubbers basket the majority of the time and had it not been for the guarding of the above named trio, the result last night might have been diff ferent
 Floyd, in addition to his offensive work, was good on the defensive also, guarding his man with something akin to the "sticktoitness" of Clemmie Laughlinhouse
 Alvin Bell was easily the star for Vandy. The little forward began, maintained and led the last half attack against the Clubbers that came so near to winning the game. The close guard ing of Ryan and Morrow prevented Club tallies, while Thomas general floor work was excellent. Only at times last night did the two teams display any brilliancy at pass work.

Old Mother Natures School Grows
You know 1 know, the more you know
 The more you'll always want to know.
By THORNTON w. BUI

Peter Rabbit, on his way to school, vas trying to make up his mind which of his neighbors he would ask old Mother nature about. He had learned so many surprising things about his own family that he shrewdly suspected that many equally surprising things were to be learned about his neighbors. But there were so many neighbors he couldn't decide which to ask about first.
 But the matter was decided for him in funny way. Hardly had he reached the edge of the Green Forest when he was hailed by sharp voice. Hello, Peter!" said the sharp voice. 'Where are you going at this hour of the morn- ing? You ought to be heading for your home in the dear Old Briarpatch."
 Peter didn't even have to look to know whose voice that was. It was the voice of Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel. Happy Jack was on the top of an old stump, eating nut. I'm go- ing to school" replied Peter, with a great deal of dignity.
 Happy Jack was so surprised he dropped the nut. Going to school! Ho, ho, ho! Going to school! The idea of anybody going to school such a fine morning as this! Where and to whom and for what are you going to school?" demanded Happy Jack.
 I'm going to school to Old Mother Nature" replied Peter, a little grossly.

torted Peter. q don't believe you even know all your own cousins, so there! I thought I knew all mine, but found I didn't know half of them"
 What are you fellows squabbling about?" asked another voice. a sharp, scolding voice, and Chatterer the Red Squirrel jumped from one tree to an- other just above Peters head.
 Peter is trying to make me think I don't know all there is to know about the Squirrel family" snapped Happy Jack, indignantly. He is on his way to school to Old Mother Nature and has advised me to join him. school! Isn't that the greatest joke ever?
 Maybe it is and maybe it isn't" re- torted Chatterer, who isn't the best of friends with his cousin, Happy Jack. If I don't know as much about the, Squirrel family as you do may 1 never find another nut as long as l live. But a that, I am not at all sure I know all there is to know. And if there is something more to know I know want to know it. It would be fun to go to school for while. What do you say, Peter, to having me go along with you?'
 Peter replied that he thought it would be a very fine thing and that Chatterer never would regret it. So Chatterer winked at his cousin, Happy Jack, and started along after Peter, only, of course, he kept in the trees while Peter was on the ground. Happy Jack hesitated until the others were almost out of sight. Then curiosity

 So do l." said Andrew emphaticasy. Hes a regular fellow and she seems nice woman without any frills."
 But honey" said Imogene, they do not sem particularly fond of uss They rever seem to seek us out"
 That's one of the things in their favor, said Andrew Tn all my life I have never bumped into a new couple that rushed up that we did not find out later that the woman was trying to use you as wedge to open up her way into society that she did not deserve to be in, or else tne man wanted to sell me life insurance or borrow money from me.

 But the Wards have not done that said Imogene.

 But you do not seem to try to cufIi- vate them, either" said his wife.
 Listen, puddin',' said Andrew. T have not cornered the brains market. If 1 have been cultivated by short sports, rushed off my feet by men with get rich-quick schemes and social climbers. don't you suppose he has had the same experience? Don't you know if I begin to try to cultivate his acquaintance in any such manner he is going to wonder what I expect to work him for and that he is going to begin to turn harveyized exterior to me?
