Fan Wants To
 Hear Verdict Before Fight

This American Legion fan wants to hear what that California jury as to say about Jack Dempsey before he flutters his 'ker- chief for the American champion in the proposed battle with Carpentier. Euro pean champion. Just at present George T. Marat, Birmingham, is for Georges. He writes:
 wish to state that I am for the frenchman. It's hard to pull for a stranger against one of your own coun- try, out when one wlfully violates the law calling him to the colors by swear Ing to false affidavits, he is not worthy the support of his fellow-countryme who did answer the call for the saliva tion of the country.
 'Carpentier, although a Frenchman, was fighting for the same cause as Amer lea, and was a brother in arms, serving faithfully for a. period of five years, be- ing decorated and wounded several times and by his exploits has won the admira- ton of many For these and many more reasons I think he should be the favor ite in the eyes of the American soldier and public.
 If the charges against Dempsey are false, well, there's another story to tell, but it looks as if they have the dope on him, and if found guilty, I am in favor os eliminating him from the contest and select some other fighter, some ex-service man, if found capable to meet the French man for the title"

line has to do with Ruth's kicking him. self off the Boston Red Sox, but the charge is not substantiated.
 Although not generally known, Ruth had near encounter with the southern fan in an exhibition at Jacksonville recent ly. A party of bugs seated in the bleachers got after Babe and chris. tened him the cheese of the club. Ruth stood for the name through several frames of the exhibitoin game, but finally his composure slipped away and he crawled into the stand after the cheer leader of the roasting crew.
 No trouble resulted from Ruth's visit to the stand. because Ernie Shore and Few ster followed him and got between Ruth and the fan. The fan, however, was ready to do battle, for when Babe" climbed into the stand the fan pulled out a mans size knife.
 Those who have been in the know on the deal that sent Ruth to the Yankees have been trying 10 figure-from the Jacksonville incident-whether Ruth will be accorded d similar reception over the entire circuit this season
 Although never having been branded a trouble maker until he was sold to the New York club, Owner Frazee of Bos- ton did not increase Ruth's popularity when he publicly declared he let Ruth out because the big lad was chronic kicker and dsturber
 From his days with the minors, Ruth has never been able to stand for a rid ing from the sun-baked seats, and there is said to be a possibility that worry over being banned liberally may affect his hitting.

 across the pages of pugilistic history

 the misty hilltops of Tuscaloosa coun- l ty this morning, "Uncle Jim" Nun
 nellee should be in his sanctum sane forum penning the biography of Joe 1 Dawson White, Alabama giant and { Dixie Hercules, coming heavyweight 1 clamp of the universe.
 Built like lumberjack, carrying more than 200 pounds of steel
 knitted avoirdupois, Joseph Dawson White of Tuscaloosa, U s. A, made 1 his debut in professional pugilism in i the Bluff City, on the Mississippi
 river, near the Illinois Central rail
 road, Monday night. His victim was f"Texas" Tate, a mat veteran, and the
 Lone Star husky lost the decision to
 the Tuscaloosa gorilla. It was vici-
 ousl fight, and White threatened a
 regular K. o. in the fourth round. As it was, the referee and the fans
 and Herb. Caldwell agreed unani-
 mously the Tuscaloosan had won the eight-round match by considerable
 majority. It was some fight and | os L uCitiOllSlIdltQ tHdL WI1lle he carried kick himself, he could sustain few rip-snorters from the other fellow without flinching. Now, while there's plenty of po- litical fame in Tuscaloosa, this is the first time "Uncle Jim" Nunnellee's metropolis ever had look-in on the worlds heavyweight championship. The young Tuscaloosan has lots to learn, few sprigs of alfalfa to curry out of his mane and to rid his breath of pot-licker odor, but he's under the capable tutelage of "Blackey" Rag gio and we know Raggio. We also know s"Blackey's" brother, Johnnie, who could compound the kickingest little gin rickey one would ever care to gargle.
 With "Blackey's" training and one 'of Johnnie's gin rickeys under his belt, just before the gong zooms for business, Joe Dawson White, when he develops little more muscular prowess and an equal quantity of pugilistic skill, ought to be able within five years to make Tuscaloosa even more famous than dear old Reno or that rumdum town of Toledo.
 Here's what Herb. Caldwell opines: Youth, ambition, strong heart, ability to punch and fair knowledge

'Cravath Hits Harmony Pace
 In Flag Chase

Baseball fans hear a lot about harmony these days. Whenever a good team gets down in the rut about mid-season the alibi Is always about the same-lots of quality but lack of harmony. No less than half dozen major league clubs are going to work on the harmony thing this season, and in some cases it would seem the harmony" is going to be asked to take the place of quality or class.
 One of the latest entrants in the ''har- Tony Stake is the Philadelphia Club in the senior circuit Gavvy Cravath. with what was generally conceded to be a mediocre crowd, started spring training at Birmingham absolutely content and happy because there were no loggerheadu and willing to actually exert himself to put the Phils in the race.
 Maybe Cravath has found the key to success in the handling of the Quaker crowd, for with "Dotsr Miller Paulette, Bancroft, Rixey, Tragressor, Cy Williams and crop of really promising young sters, it would seem he had sufficient class to show something worth while.
 Then the Pirates are entered in the 'harmony' stake. too. George Gibson took the helm that was formerly handed by Hugo Bezdek. and although he does not seem to have an impressive roster, with him at Hot Springs, "Gibby' has a. crew acting like a family Of sweet hearts and playing their heads off. Toward the close of the 1919 campaign the Pirates were frequently accused of haV- ing soured on Bezdek. If such was the case they will get an entirely new deal this spring.
 The Boston Red Sox are entered, too. Frazee says he let Ruth out because the big fellow was crab He parted v-s1h Mays for the same reason, he said. When Ruth was tagged and sSIt along to -vew York F'razee said Barrow could do more without stars but with harmony, than h. could with dozen Ruins
 With such classy field of starters in the Harmony Special there should be some grand baseball in the majors this season
 The fans will be pulling for Cravath, harmony or no harmony. because the Quaker leader is hard worker, and wus not a popular choice for the managerial berth when he received it.

BarOnS Meet
 Philly Team
 At Redwood

Carlton Molesworths hirelngs will Redwood this afternoon. The game will begin at SIS o'clock
 Both the Barons and the Philles suf- fered from the bit of bad weather yester- day. Moleys men wereN scheduled to meet the Louisville Colonels at Redwood yesterday afternoon, but the diamond was in such condition that to attempt a game was out of the question.
 Cravath's Phillies were supposed to catch the Il o'clock rattler for Tusca- loosa but when the Philly boss and his men awoke yesterday morning the condi- ton of the weather caused them to sud- denly change their plans. They figured that the rain which almost deuged Bir- mingham, was sure to be holding sway in Tuscaloosa. The trip was called off, and the game with the University of Ala bama likewise disposed of
 The Colonels arrived in Birmingham at noon yesterday, but soon realized the futility of their stop-over The Louis ville players spent the afternoon looking over the town, and left last night for Nashville, to meet the Vols.
 The game with Southern Military academy for Friday was cancelled As a consequence the Barons, as well as the Phillies, found themselves with an open date on their hands. A game between the Barons and the Philies has been ar ranged for Friday.
 Molesworth announced yesterday that he will start his usual lineup, with only one probable change Stevenson may be sent in at third. Tom is rounding around nicely now. and should be in form for the game today
 Either Glanzer or Sigman will start in the box for the Barons. Rixey will prob- ably pitch the early innings for Philadel- phia.

KATIE BROWN, 10,
 MAY BE WORLDS
 RECORD SWIMMER

New York, March 31.--tSpecial.)-- America boasts of many high class women swimmers. Members of the gentler sex have come to the front rapidly in water events in the past few years, but unless the prodigious accomplishments of Kathryn Brown, ten-year-oId daughter of Capt. AL fred Brown, New York, count for nothing, the mermaids are going to have some new and difficult records to work against the next five years.
 Miss Brown, without n doubt, is the greatest swimmer the world has ever known, for one of her years. Sensational records seem to be as easy for her ms mediocre accon- plishments are for the ordinary top notch swimmer, and she but needs the development that will come in the next few years to enable her to completely shatter all the pres ent existing records for her sen,- if not for both sexes.
 Last month in Il trial swim this little lady covered distance of 50 yards free style, in the remarkable time of 3S 3-5 seconds. Then almost without rest she covered 25 yards at the back stroke in 22 1-S sec onds.. In both of these events she defeated choice field of senior swimmers of both sexes.

Jacksonville. Fla. March S1-(Special.) The baseball fan is peculiar institution. Sometimes he seems quite docile and yields readily to analysis, but on other occasions he is as mystifying as the Pyra- mids. And maybe this accounts for the conduct or southern fans, who have ap- parently taken dislike to "Babe' Ruth of the Yankees. Just why the fans in the warm belt should attempt to ride" the king home run swatter can hardly be guessed at.
