WEST BLOCTON AND
 BIBB COUNTY FIVES
 PLAY DOUBLE-HEADER
By A. J. BROWN

West Blocton, December 21.-(Spe- cia1)-On Friday the Bibb County High School basketball teams played a doubleheader with the West Blocton High school teams on the latter's court
 The game between the girls teams was fast and snappy, ending in a tie score, as did the game between the same teams on Friday before last.
 The boys game was also lively one. The first half ended in score of to 3, in favor of West B1octon. The last half was not played out, because the manager of the Bibb County High agreed to forfeit the game when a diff ference of opinion arose between the umpire and referee concerning a foul after II fouls had been called against West Blocton and only five against Bibb County.
 The West Blocton players are much smaller than those of the opposing teams, but they showed their superior skill and coaching in every part of the game with Bibb County, despite the numerous fouls called against their teams bo1 girls and boys
 After the game, good will prevailed and West Blocton school served re- treatments free to the teams and visi- tors displaying their usual hospitality to visiting teams. Everyone seemed to have jolly good time.

WINTERS WORK IS. CUT OUT FOR HIM,
 SAYS BAN JOHNSON

Chicago, December 21.-Returning home from New York today, President Ban Johnson of the American league ex- pressed the belief that he will have enc of the busiest winters of his baseball ca reer. President Johnson will push work in connection with the prosecution of White Sox players under indictment for alleged throwing of games and will at tempt to send to jail the men who are said to have corrupted Comiskey's men in the 1919 worlds series, it is thought by local officials of the league.
 If rumors may be relied upon, Charles Comiskey president of the Chicago American league club, will lead the drive against the wrongdoers. It has been said even that Comiskey may try to stop the American league in it's efforts to press the gambling cases, in order to have charge of the prosecution himself
 The matter has been placed in the hands of attorneys by the Chicago pres- dent, who, more than a year ago, set aside S1o.O0O /be used in unearthing the 1919 worlds series scandal. These attor- neys are to confer with States Attorney Robert Grove to learn just what can be done to hurry up the cases now before criminal court.
 President Comiskey is anxious to have a share in the prosecution himself. Be leving himself to be the one who suf- fered most from their dishonesty Comis- key thinks that he should have a hand in the prosecution and conviction, if there is any, of the alleged wrongdoers.
 Ban Johnson also said he was working on a encouragement of the rules under which the major and minor leagues can operate. meeting is scheduled to be held in Philadelphia early in January, at which President Heydler and George Wharton Pepper will be present to draw up this agreement Johnson will present his idea on the proper working agree ment to them at that time At the same meeting he plans to complete the sched- ules for 1921 to be submitted to the club owners of the major leagues for ap- proval.

STAR PLAYERS OF MINORSIN DEMAND
 BY BIG LEAGUES
By JAMES J. coRBETT

Baseball leaders just now are indulgiLg g in a merry scramble for diamond per- for mers
 The big leagues. which have gone along for several years without infusion of new blood, suddenly have come to the realization that the lineups are consid- erably cluttered with fading veterans. 1t is up to the owners to secure some new and young talent immediately and bolster up the standard of play which certainly will slip in another season or two if the old-timers continue to predominate on the rosters
 As some managers browse around and try to secure star minor Ieaguers, others are feverishly engaged in attempting to make trades or put through sales with other clubs. Fabulous offers have been made for Rogers Hornsby of the Cardi- nals, George Sisler of the Browns, Eddie Roush and Heinie Groh of the Reds, ,~as well as for more than a score of other performers.
 SOX NEEDS GREATEST
 Every team in both circuits, with the exception of the Indians, is looking White Sox are hunting for almost an entirely new team. They need two or three new pitchers at least two outfield- CTS, a first baseman, a shortstop and third baseman. The Giants are in the market for outfieider, a pitcher and second baseman.
 All the other clubs, again excepting Cleveland. find themselves in much the same plight. The Dodgers probably will start the 1921 season with the same lineup as it sent into the worlds series. But Konetchy, Olson, Myers, Miller and one or two of the pitchers are getting rather old Their big league usefulness is near ing it's end. So the Dodger owners are on the lookout now for some talent and are among the most energetic in attemp,- ing to put through some deals.
 PRICES BALK BUYERS
 No large business has ben executed so far That is largely for the reason that the value of ball players on the hoof has hurdled to startling figures Just as soon as one owner finds that star in his possession is wanted by another team he jumps the price to almost unheard of figures. As a result the prospective buyer has not secured any talent, even though his bid was thousands of dollars beyond the appraised value of few years ago. Just the same, the demand

HERMAN WILL RISK HIS TITLE N BOUT WITH JOE LYNCH
On Result of Tonight'S FraCas Depends Who Will Be WiIde's
 Opponent on January IA

New York, December H.-Pete Herman, worlds bantamweight boxing champion, will be put to a real test here tomor- row night, when he risks his title in a 16-round match with Joe Lynch, hard hitting youngster who aspires to Her mans crown.
 Pete Herman has not held the admira- tion of Americas boxing public like a real champion should. He has not met all the tough ones like some of the other titleholders, the fans say. However, if the little New Orleans lad can weather the storm tomorrow night, then the crit ics will admit that he is a real champion and worthy of the laurels which today night may be removed with a rude jolt from the sturdy little fist of Joe Lynch.
 KNOCKED OUT SHARKEY
 Joe Lynch sprang into prominence as 8 really dangerous foeman for the cham pion when he knocked out Jack Sharkey not so many nights ago Due, perhaps, to the nsistent demands of fandom, Her man had agreed to meet the winner of the Sharkey-Lynch bout and, when the little New Yorker rocked Sharkey to sleep, many of the critics smiled, shook their heads and began to propheSy Ddu things about Herman.
 In beating Sharkey. Lynch performed a man s-sized job, even if it was little mans job, for SharlSey was the only boxer to master Jimmy Wilde, Eng lands little champion. When Wilde re- gently invaded the United States he bucked up against Sharkey first of ali' and great was the surprise of everyone when the American boxer decisively out pointed Wilde. It was no championship bout, so the title didn't change hands. In addition, Sharkey was too heavy to con tend for Wildes crown.
 MUCH AT STAKE
 On the result of the proceedings to- morrow night at Madison Square Gar den depends whether Herman shall make the trip across the Big Drink to meet Jimmy Wilde the sensational flyweigh' boss. Should Herman falter in the jam with Lynch, 1t is not unlikely the mod est Joe will be chosen in place of Peter to make the trip to engage the spr1ghtiy Britisher.
 Lynch has waited for many years tc get a chance at the bantamweight crown and now that it is here the West Side boy has advised his friends that here ls the spot for them to string along with him. Eddie Meade, who pilots Joe al- fairs, is most confident
 From the headquarters of Herman come the most assuring reports. Herman mas been in daily preparation at Bliiy Grupp's gymnasium and can't see tha' Joe Lynch has a chance in the world.
 Lynch is in shape for the contest, while Herman (Peter GolottD, the south ern Italian, completed his work Of prep araton early today

----e------------------- GENE TUNNEY IS NOT AFTER BOUT WITH JACK

New York December 2l.-Fight pro- motors are not going to be bothered by Gene Tunney the soldier heavyweight {, seeking chance to meet Jack Demp- sey. Tunney is one of the best looking 1ight-heavies the east has produced in many years, and the youngster seems to be endowed with exceptionally good sense.
 He says Dempsey is the greatest the game ever had, and he does not hesitate to admit he is not ready to meet the Utah Mauler." Tunney works every day and never misses an opportunity to see some of the leading lights in ac- ton.
