Training Camp
 of Partners at Queenstown Lake

The gridiron prospects of Birmingham Southern, thirty strong, and under the leadership of Coach Charlie Brown and Captain Eddie Lewis, will Journey to Queenstown lake on August 27 for the annual preseason football practice of ten days dur9 ton.
 The training camp will follow immedi- ately after the annual alumni banquet Of iBirmingham-Sou.her which will take place at the Southern Club on August 27 The former Panther students are expect ing to stage a big affair at their an nual feasting event with the football boys, as quite a number of alumni over the state will propaDly be present.
 All but two of last years varsity will be back in the Panther fold this season, and prospects are fairly good for suc- cessful season with number of high schools gridironists on hand to give the regulars fight for their berths. The en- tire personnel of the camp has not been announced. but a majority of the regulars of last season will likely train with Coach Brown at Queenstown just before school opens
 The first game of the season, with the Hamilton Aggias, will not be far off, and Coach Brown is anxious to whip the eleven into condition as soon as pos sible Vanderbilt and Alabama follow on the schedule, which is the hardest any Panther eleven has ever tackled. The Au- burn game in Montgomery and the How ard game at Redwood, both in Novem- Der, are the other hard games on the schedule.

Ban on Bean
 Ball Out of
 he Question

Philadelphia, August 22.~( ~(Special)-
 But what can you do about it?' That about sums up the consensus of local baseball opinion in the matter of the beanball. which proved fatal to Ray Chapman, star shortstop of the Cleve- land Indians, American League leaders, and until the tragedy the favorites tor the championship.
 Its one of the chances you have to take,'' commented Manager Gavvy Cra- vath of tht Phillies. Cant enforce a
 rule against it, because for every player that is hit Intentionally there are ninety nine hit unintentionally. You can't prove
 that it's Intentionally so how can you legislate against an offense of which you cant convict anybody?
 Any blanket rule such as would pen alize pitcher every time he hits a bats
 man with pitched ball would be mani festly unfair to the great majority of pitchers There would be about a mill lion bases on balls. The pitchers would be afraid to try to cut the inside cor ner of the plate. one of the most i'm portant weapons of pitcher.
 Personally, I don't believe any pitcher ever hit a batter in the head intention ally never saw one. The real pitchers wouldn't try. and the others couldn't hit batter if they did try.
 I've heard pitchers grumbling about
 what they were going to do to some fell l lows head the next inning, and I've seen them almost miss the grandstand | trying to hit this hated individual. I'm l just as sorry it happened to Chapman
 as anybody could be, but l don't see how the rules can do anything about it. ] Ut pretty nearly puts Cleveland out | of the running. unless they rally better l than any club ever has when struck at | such a vital spot.''
