CLUBBERS START HARD CAGE GAMES SATURDAY NIGHT
B. A. c. Basketball Teams Schedule Unusually Hard
 This Season

The basketball team of the Blr- mingham Athletic club steps into the first hard stage of it's schedule Sat urday night, when the clubbers meet the Mississippi A. and M. cage out fit here. The B. A. c. quint started off on an unusually. hard schedule by defeating the Baylor University Bears, 27 to 23. last Friday night The Aggies come next, and this game is expected to be one of the hardest on the local teams schedule.
 After the game with the Agges come the following teams in quick succession: Georgia Tech, Camp Ben ming. Tennessee, Atlanta A. C., Ala bama, Auburn and Louisiana. after which the schedule swings back over the road for few return games.
 Coach Ervin's men are in excel lent shape for the hard season ahead now, and are expected to give the Aggies hard tussle Saturday night.
 The starting team Saturday will probably be the same as the one which defeated Baylor, namely
 Chisholm and Stapleton, forwards.
 Holt, center.
 Mandy and Lauginghouse, guards.
 Very few substitutions were made in the Baylor game. despite the fact that Coach Erwin has large squad of candidates at his command.
 A New Years dance will follow Saturday nights game.

CENTRAL QUINTET
 BEATS ANNIST0NIANS

Anniston. December 27.-(SpecialD
 The Central college of Missouri quin-
 tet walked away with the Camp Me Clellan-Anniston Independents in the
 cage contest staged Monday night at
 the National Guard armory the final score being 34 to 9. Lack of train Ing and team work defeated the locals.
 The Central college aggregation has met and defeated some of the strongest cage teams of the south,
 and was easily the best that has per formed on a local court this season. The Independent five, although made up os college players and former
 stars. was handicapped by lack Of practice together, and was no match for the snappy. team work ofethe Mis- sourians. Ransdell starred for tha visitors, contributing II of the points chalked up by his team.
 The preliminary fracas staged by
 the Calhoun county High school quin-
 tet and the Weaver school basketers
 was hotly contested and far from be- ing as one-sided as the IS to score in favor of the Oxford bunch would indicate. This is the first defeat met
 this year by the Weaver lads, and the large margin of points gained by their hated rivals was bitter dis appointment to them, for they had confidently expected to at least make it & tight score If not win the fray.

". C. 4. Officials
 to HaUe Important
 Session on Jan. I4

Chicago, December 27-Presidents of golf organizations in the vest who have been invited by officials of the United States Golf association to talk over rules at the annual meet
 ing of the United States Golf associa- tion here on January 14, plan to make @
 1t an important session, President AL bert R. Gates of the Western Golf association said today.
 Ninety per cent of the clubs in this section are playing under the west ern associations rules, Mir. Gates said, as the United States Golf association S rules were regarded as too strict, es- pecially the penalty for out of bounds and restrictions on the putting green.
 At the recent joint meeting in New York before the golf committee left for St. Andrews. England, it was agreed that loss of distance was sui ficient penalty for lost ball, but at St Andrews the loss of a stroke was add ed MT. Gates said he hoped at the conference next month this question would be reopened and also that It would be decided that, contestants on the putting green would be permitted to remove mud from the ball.

LANDS WILL VIEW
 EXHIBITION GAMES
 AT CRESCENT CITY

New Orleans. December 27.-(Spe- cial)-Judge Kenesaw Mountain Lam dis, the big man of baseball since the organization of basebalrs govern ment this year, will spend some time in New Orleans next spring, and may make this his headquarterss for seN - eral weeks, according to Julius Hefnemann, presidento of the New Or leans baseball club who talked with Judge Landis while at the Buffalo meeting of the minors.
 Judge Landis wants to get a per sonal view of how the major league and minor league exhibition games are conducted" said MT. Heinemann. land as New Orleans will have more important exhibition games than any other city, 1 have an idea that the judge will spend some little time with us. and probably jump to several other cities while practically mak- ing New Orleans his headquarters. He has a special invitation to give New Orleans as much of his time as possible"

Neun. first baseman, Martnsburg, Blue Ridge league, and others many of whom are recruits making their first stab at professional baseball
 With at least 15 or 20 players all lists, 1t seems that Birmingham will have almost as large a bunch of base ball candidates this year as last, when over 40 players %eported to Manager Molesworth at Redwood park.
 The three latest additions to the list are Linquist. Tice and Neun. Lin quist and Tice played good ball in the Southwestern league last season the latter hitting 300 He is also q good pitcher. playing part of the sea son as a hurler.
 Neun nt First Ease
 Johnny Neun will be one of the can didates for the place at first base left vacant by the disposal of Dutch Bernsen. Neun pounded the agate for a 300 percentage in the Blue Ridge league, and promises to make some body hustle to beat him out. Neun comes through Pittsburg, the Barons giving Dave Black and $500 for his outright release.
 The Barons will have Redwood park to themselves again next spring As no major league club will do it's training here. Manager Molesworth will have ample time to put his huskles through all the hard work he wants to, without having to plan schedule in connection with some other pilot.

EYES OF RANDOM WATCHING YOUNG JAKE SCHAEFER
Youthful Successor to Willie Hoppe Is a Wonderful
 BiIIiardiSt

There is no living champion upon whom there rests a greater respon- sibility than young Jake Schaefer, the 17-year- son of the great Wizard Schaefer. now dead The son of one of the greatest characters in the his tory of American sportdom. and the successor of a man generally con ceded to best exemplify all that is good in sport competition and clean living, the lad who wrested the 1S.2 bal<line billiard championship of the world from William F. Hoppe will perhaps be more critically viewed than any title holder in any sport. !
 Schaefer is frail young man of the delicate type that one would eX- pect to make a fine billiardlst. tie dresses modestly and talks but little.
 Young Jake says he is fully cog nizant that on account of his dolnS what many thought would be lmpos- sible for many years to come-ue- featfng the great Hoppe-much IS eN- nected of him. He confidently says that he is quite sure he can retalh his title and that the longer his re- turn match with Hoppe Is, the surer he is that he can triumph over the popular Willie.
 Schaefer's activities in billiards have been diversified. He was play ing red ball and three-cushion bll- lizards, the latter game generally con sidered destructive to a well-deVel- oped ball<line stroke, when Manager Charley Tennes took him in hand for a campaign that wound up in an nexing the balkline championship,
 Little Encouragement
 The elder Schaefer never encour- aged his son to play billiards. How ever. ora Morningstar, formerly Of Pittsburg, gave the present champion instructions in the rudiments of the game. Morningstar is one of the most capable instructors anywhere. Always able to play fairly good oalk- line. young Jake was not much Tn the Iimelight until his point match with Horemans in San Fran cisco. when he averaged slightly bet ter than 51 billiards to the inning for new worlds record, making high runs of S94, 27S, sS0 and 2l4, and displaying q brand of nerve that completely befuddled the somewhat temperamenta1. Belgian champion.
 Worthy Successor
 Experts say that young Jake Is go- ing to be a worthy successor to his great father and to Hoppe, whom he meets again in March.

TECHS BASEBALL
 COACH NEVER MADE
 LETTER AT COLLEGE

Coach Robert Ava Cay holds a unique position. The famous Tech baseball coach and football scout never made his letter in baseball at Tech, yet today he ranks. IS one of the foremost baseball coaches in the south.
 The feats of his great team of last spring will go down in history great bunting attack he unleashed, Nbieh not only upset southern col leees. but also put crimp in the eastern teams played, will be adopted by many coaches next spring.
 His idea was to mark off the play ing field and have his men bunt to to holes similar to pockets in pool tables It was more than merely a success.
 The Kid" as he is known, made a letter in football but never was q letter man in baseball. No keener student of the game, or more sue cessful coach sts in the south to- day, however.

GREENVILLE BEATS
 LAST SEASONS QUINT

Greenville, December 27-( -(Special,) Greenville basketball fans witnessed one of the best and most snappy ex- hibitions of the popular game here yesterday when they saw the strong Greenville High school aggregation of this year defeat the famous Greenville High school team of last season by close score of 20 to 21.
 This years outfit is considered one of the best basketball quintets among the high schools in Alabama, having already defeated several strong teams from both north and south sve playing in yesterdays contest was by far the best ever witnessed or the. local court. Baby" Stabler and Peacock make an excellent pair of forwards, and the manner in which they worked yesterday was highly commended by number of old-tlme athletes who witnessed the game. A. Stabler and Newton are two guards that made goal shooting a difficult proposition for Vernon Stabler and Riley.
 The 1920-21 team put up a good battle and their defeat was made pos sible by the fact that several of the players have not been in any games this year, and they have not played together for some time. Vernon Stabler and Riley could not show their ability in fielding on account of not being able to use passwork and signals to an advantage because they were not familiar with the other players.
 The two teams will meet again on Thursday night at o'clock. The score was as follows:
 1921-22 Team. Position 1920-21 Team Peacock (5) .,........... Riley (10) Forward c. Stabler (14) ..... Steindorff U0)
 Forward | V. Stabler (4) =. Vernon Stabler CD Center
 A. Stabler (2) ............ McGowin Guard
 Newton ........,......... Campbell Guard
 l Referee: J. R. Dunklin GA. B. B. CD. Scorer: Martin. Timekeeper: Laney.

Boxers Still Hold
 Out for Big Prices

Boston, December 27-(Special.)- Champions and champions still
 are keeping prices for their services at an impossible point. As result of this lbut few promoters can deal , with them.
 In every line there has been a
 slight drop. but the glovemen adhere
 to their wartime scale. How long
 they will continue is matter of con-
 lecture.
 If they don't exhibit some signs of fairness in their dealings with the
 men who take chances in fostering
 boxing events, however. there will
 not be many places In short time for them to display their wares A news dispatch a few days. ago
 informed the public that Benny Leonard, the, lightweight. champion, would obtain s15,000 from Tom An
 drews January for boxing, 5Pinky Mitchell This is an exorbitant price for a 10-round no-decision bout, but ! then Benny is champion and who
 ever wants his services must meet his terms.
 After Mitchell gets 5000. the rent is paid for the Milwaukee coliseum. where the bout undoubtedly will be staged. the preliminary boxers are satisfied and the printers ana 'tiShel handlers are paid, there won't be a lot to divide among those who are financing the enterprise. Boxing in this city has not been profitable for any of the clubs except
 the Faneuil A. e. The 'Armory A. A.
 has made little money, but the
 other organizations just about kept
 out of debt or lost a little money.
 None seems to be in a hurry to pro-
 mote. Here is where the boxers and
 their managers suffer.
 Boston fans will turn out well for one big show a week, and each club
 could have taken a turn in promot- ing, but some of the organizations caused a jam by giving three in a
 week.
 As result of this the regular
 fight fans pocketbooks were hit hard l and then they quit
 1 Now, if the receipts reach the i s7 ,00O mark, it is considered big gates In view of the big guarantees 1 paid the boxers. they can't make 1 moneN with an income of that sort.

, Pittsburg, December 27=(Spe- cial )-Joe Stecher. former heavy weight wrestling champoin takes a fling at the ruling of the New York athletic commission anent flying and rolling falls. Stecher inssts that a mans houlders must be pnned to the mat before a fall can be registered aganst hm When l wrestle Dck Daviscourt here January 3, you can bet that no flying or rolling falls will be counted against me-" says Stecher Any punk wrestler might get flying fall off champion. but ttat certainly would be fine way to settle championship.
 "Wrestlers like 'Strangler' Lewis and Daviscourt are likely to throw any man in the game with flying falls. but in my opinion a mans shoulders should be pinned securely to the mat before any matsery is shown. n5
 stanley Burch, the kid who lis training with me, weighs only 175 pounds, but he has flopped me with fling falls several times My match with Daviscourt here will be strictly according to the rules and not any of this stuff offered by the New York athletic commission.
