s. M. A. HAS BRIGHT DIAMOND PROSPECTS
Cadets Expecting Good Baseball Team-Probable
 Roster of Team

Greensboro March 3.-(Special. )-March 1, about thirty-five candidates for the 1920 baseball team of Southern Military Academy reported to Captain Crew, who is in charge of the team during Coach Aliens absence.
 One bright feature of the first wee.V's s practice was the tendency of everyone to pound the ball to all corners of the lot. Several hard hitters have developed on the local nine, and opposing mounds men will be forced to watch out for these sluggers if they would attempt to save their pitching regulations.
 Two good catchers, Crew and sawyer, are out for the team. Crew is a reg ular backstop "Rowdy is a mighty good catcher and should play a good game for the cadets this season. He was with Howard in 1919 and played in the Walker County League last summer. |, Stevens, Lewis, Walker. Miller, Dent and McCollum are out for the hurling staff The first three mentioned will do the bulk of the pitching for s. M. A, and may be used in the outfield at times. Ham Stevens is the same guy who Set the Birmingham City League on fire last season with his wonderful work in the box The other twirlers have also had much baseball experience.
 First base will be taken care Of by Pat Shores who played with Birming- ham, Southern last season. He batted over 300 in the Walker County League last summer.
 Mitt Green and Ned Faulk are out for second Bill Hardeman for shortstop, and Diok Lewis for third These boys, to- gether with Shores, compose an infield not to be scorned. This combination is sure to meet success during the coming season.
 Tanner. Ferrall and Stckney are the only outfielders showing any great amount of stuff These three will un- doubtedly win their berths over the field of garden position aspirants.
 On the whole. baseball prospects are exceedingly bright for S. M. A. The ca dets are expecting to chalk up many vic, tories this season.

 Teams representing places in which boxing enjoys it's greatest popularity in the south have been entered in the tour rey. The New Orleans team is supposed to be the strongest. but the Birmingham Athletic Club, Memphis "Y''. Camp ray Tor and other teams are expected to make it exceedingly hot for the Crescent City fighters. L1 DeBendetto. in charge of the New Orleans team, feels confident that his boxers win walk away with the titles, but there are other southern fight pro motors who are not saying much. but are planning great deai.
 TWO JUDGES
 There win be two judges to decide the winner of each bout. Jack Riddle and George c. Walker will officiate in tnis manner. Col. Carl Langrebe will referee the bouts, and in case of deadlock be- tween the judges, will cast the deciding vote. or. if he deems it necessary, order an extra round to decide the winner.
 Each bout will be for length of three regulation rounds, which will call for nine months of fighting.
 The fighters will me weighed in Mon day afternoon. and in case any boxer should be unable to make the weight of his division, he will be moved up a class. After the weights are all ascer- tained the boxers will be matched for the nights bouts.
 Boxing Instructor Tompkins stated yes terday afternoon that his team is in fine shape for the tournament Tommy said little, but it was very evident that he was overflowing with optimism over the out look of the affair

E ENGLISH SCR|bES THROW BOMBS AT
 HOT AIR PROMOTERS
London Sport Writers Pan Dempsey, Kearns and All Big Talk Con-
 corning Match

New York, March t3.-fSpecial. )-Thc English may be slow to pick up the point of joke. but evidently they are not slow to pick up the point of a money grabbing fight promoter, judging from the manner in which London sport writers are going after Jack Dempsey, Jack Kearns and would-he promoters of the Carpentier-Dempsey fight, which has been talked of as London proposition.
 After resting comfortably in the knowl- edge there was possible chance for Lon-' don to get the Carpenter Dempsey fuss, English writers on sporting matters ara now hurling bomb after bomb into the proposed international rirs contest, some of them advocating the refusal of the match until Dempsey, kcarns and others get down to a sane basis of calculation.
 The idea of giving Dempsey guaran- tee of half million dollars to fight n London has awed English writers to the point of charging Dempsey with being r.oney mad. They also say no fighter in the world could possibly earn haif million dollars in one engagement.
 The London Times, in recent issue. says in part: This holding out for gi- gantc purse, as the manager of Demp- sey especially has been dcing, is bad fof professional boxing. and tends to bring dscredit on boxing as a sport" The Times also says such spectacle wiii probably ruin the game for future gem erations.
 Again, the Times says: "A bubble when |. is blown sufficiently. is certain to burst. If the promoters ti6 not make a profit this bout will be the end of the big money for boxers The Times, how ever, is not the only paper to oppose thS match for England. The Daily Mail has taken several filings al the proposition and advised that English authorities should intervene for the sake of the fu- ture of the sport.
 Newspaper throughout England have taken up the cry against raying Dempsey and Carpenter so much money, and 1t is doubtful now if London promoters will go through with thel- offer Manager Kearns who looks after Dempseys in- terests, is everywhere tnade the goat of the English attacks. Some of the smaller papers have caricatured him as a centipede reaching out for all avail able money. The attack las killed much of the interest manifested in the proposed tout in London.

, ard Smiles, youthful boxer, has been se- cured by the B. A. c. There are only two entrants in this division. namely, Smiles and A. Guillot Consequently the title will be at stake when these two
 beys meet. Smiles has said that he in-
 tends to put his all into his fight with Guillot,, and if it is at all possible TOT him to do so, to win the flyweight title. The club Is well represented in the ban- tamweight division also. Frank Hanna, i A. Moser and 'Tanlac' Burney will fight in this class for the F. A. C., alll three being good men. and Tompkns is relyin i on one of the trio to stop Ashton Donza
 l9l9 champion of this division
 ! The special weight division is also well l filed from local standpoint. Frank 1 Chestain, Dewitt Aired and ". Hanna
 are entered by the E. A. c. in the 1z6- pound class Chestain is the most experi-

TOMKINS, BOXING
 INSTRUCTOR, OF B. A.
 C. IS BADL YPEEVED

Yes, he's peeved. considerably peeved. Whof Why who else but Boxing Instructor Tompkins of the II. A. C. old Tommy Is certainly hot under hts collar nt the present time.
 It seems that l.. DcBenetto, as secretary of the Southern Amateur Athletic Union, was empowered to recommend forty southern boxers to compete in the Olympic trials, to try for admfttancc to the American team of boxers which will represent this country in Antwerp. Now De- Bendetto is New Orleans fight promoter, and Tompi<ins states that the s. A. A. sU. secretary could see nothing hut Crescent City boxers in recommending the Olympic games candidates.
 "Every man on DeBendetto's team which will compete in the southern tourney here Monday and Tuesday has been recommended for the Olympics.. stated Tompkins. "n seems to me that DeBendetto should have chosen men to represent the south, and not New Orleans."
 Tommy goes on to say that there are several boxers in Birming ham who could easily earn berths with the lucky ones recommended for the 0lympics. However, he is mem tfOning no names, but prefers to whit until the southern tourney Is under way when HIS he puts it. Some of those New Orleans boxers are going to meet the surprfSe of thei lives. Not only in Birming- ham. but also in Memphis, Atlanta and other southern cities are there men capable of stopping some of the Crescent City fighters. When those championship New <rIcans fighters buck up against some of the men entered in the tourney there are going to be surprises dis tributed right and left.

SUFFRAGE FOES

iourn until Monday. This was defeated
by vote of 40 to A., the same vote as
cast last Wednesday to ratify the reso-
luton. The lines of the suffragists stood
absolutely fast and firm.
immediately after this motion Repre-
sentative Riddick, one of the suffrage
| taken until today at 10 O'Clock. This
| carried almost unanimously.
The session of the House yesterday
morning was the most tense held this
/ week. The crowd. drawn by reports that

! Galleries, corridors and committee rooms
/ were packed with enthusiastic, anxious
suffragists and anti-ratifcationists, wear
| ing their yellow and red flowers and
streamers They surged backward and
forward in momentary expectation of
Speaker Walker calling up the resolution
for reconsideration.
When the test vote on adjournment
was taken showing that every man for
suffrage had stood true, many of the
women in yellow, who had slept few
hours during the night in their anxiety
over the issue burst into tears. A little

victory had crowned their fight.
The ants, who had made hard fight,
had little to say They were plainly down
cast. They still wore their red roses,
but their faces showed no optimism
RELYING upon the statement of Speaker
Walker at their massmeeting Thursday
night that he had forty-seven men signed
and two or three more who had said they
would change their votes TO defeat the
ratification resolution, they went 10 the
Capitol in expectation of victory II was
sad disappointment TO them that ne
could not fulfill his prediction.
Some parIiamentafians in Nashville, in
Guiding Attorney General Thompson,
coutended that Yesterdays action was
final and that Wednesday s vote could not
now be reconsidered. Others, including
some suffragists, held opposite views.
While the motion to reconsider is now
technically dead, it is hardly probable
that the ratification forces will take
advantage OF this, but that they viii call
up the resolution today and table it for
good and all upon an aye and no"
vote
An of the fight, judging by gossip in
the Hobbies Of the hotel, has been taken
out Of the naturalization forces, and
they will hardly offer much more resist
aCce.
The suffrage forces, however, are not
relaxing in their vigilance They will
continue to watch and keep a vigilant
guard until the resolution Is tabled to-
morrow morning. They do not intend to
let victory slip from their hands at the
last moment.
Judge Joseph Higgins 70 Nashville,
President of the Tennessee Constitutional
League, stated today that he had pre-
pared to sue out a writ of injunction
against Governor Roberts and the Secre-
tary of State restraining them from
certifying the resolution to Washington
the moment it was evident the suffragists
had won the contest.
Legal action will be taken, he said on
the ground that this Legislature was
prohibited by the State Constitution
from acting on the amendment.
