CLOSER RACES
Much more publicity will be given

at Fleetwood will probably be one ,os
the highlights in the years sport ac-

The races promise to be much
closer than those staged last year,
when the 3. r.. l.. & p and the l.. & n.

limelight in their respective divisions.
The records will be kept more strict

The outlook for the coming season
of the City Baseball league is the most
promising that the organization has
ever looked forward to- is the opinion
of j. f. Harrison, president of that
circuit.
The city loop will be in three diff
fsrent divisions this season, with a
total enrolment of IS pennant coa-

followers, are always ready to digest

GOOD BASEBALL s
The personnel of the old clubs will
probably be the same with very few
exceptions, while the athletes from the
one or two teams who are expected
to drop out viii more than likely rep
resent some other company.
Much greater interest is expected to
be shown in the work of the local lads
who furnish a caliber of ball that will
compare favorably with that exhibited

of First Match

Radical changes have been incor-
porated in the new rules governing
the 1891 indoor matches of the Ma
tional, Rifle association. The war de-
partment has decided that off-hand
shooting skill is as valuable as the
other firing positions, SO the matches
this season call for the regular mill
tary prone position one week, and off
hand standing position the next, alter
mating this way until the 10 official
This is the first time in history that
the standing off-hand position has
been required in the matches. 1t is
vastly more difficult than the other
can hold rifle steadily on the half
inch center ring at rs feet distance.
The rules also require the trigger pull
to be not less than three pounds
which further complexities the chance
for high score. The real off-hand
rifle game formerly was played with
Schuetzen rifles, meaning rifles fitted
with Swiss butt plates, that go aroun5
the arm and help hold it; fitted with
double set triggers, that will fire the
arm at the slightest touch and the
arm itself weighing as high as il
pounds which helps steady it, The
new war department rules limit the
weight to 10 pounds. A score under
this years conditions of as high as
$50 is very fine work.

C00SA HIGH LOSES
TO ROCKFORD TEAM
BY Az TO 5 SCORE

Rockford, February 12.-(Special.)-
In one of the fastest and hardest
fought basketball games ever seen on
the local court the Coosa High school
met and was defeated by the boys of
the Kellyton school, Z to 5. The game
was close throughout and the winner
was not decided until the last few
minutes of play.
Neither side scored during the first
period, which showed how evenly
| matched the two teams were, although
the Kellyton school played Thomas,
who had not been in school for sew
eral years, which was finally agreed
to, by the Coosa High school boys. He

. make goal from any angle of the
| field. Only three goals were made
| during the game these being by Gull
! berson for Kellyton and Mccain and
Murchison for Rockford.
Broughton lived up to his reputation
! that he has made in former games OF
| being one of the best guards of the
Coosa High, playing all over the court
and, with the other guard, Hanna, held
down the score of Kellyton. Murchi-
| SON at center for Rockford, stayed
with his man, Culberson, and held him
down as usual. Notwithstanding this
both centers succeeded in pitching one
field goal each.
A number of fouls were made by
both quintets, and the inability of the
Coosa High school pitchers to ring
the free shots kept their score down.
while the pitchers of the Keilyton
team made good with most of the free
shots.

ting ready for this affair with Barring
ton. For the past two weeks he has
been working out daily at the Boys
club and is showing remarkable inn
provement. Like Dummy" he looks
as fit as a fiddle.
Kelly seems to be trifle faster on
his feet than the Dummy" and he also
hits fairly hard himself. Kelly is a
good, rugged boy and has a good rec
ord to back him up. harrington will
have no easy time in disposing of him
PRELIMINARIES
An exceptionally good preliminary
card has been arranged to precede the
main go. In the semifinal. Lou Co
meg, formerly of New Orleans, will
tackle Eddie Gladstone in round
bout. Tommy Tompkins has taken
over the interests of Gomez and ex-
poets to accomplish wonders with him.
Tommy says that Gomez is a very
promising boy and is wonderfully fast,
as well as being able to hit. Although
only Weighing 112 pounds, he is ar
senic, is the way Tommy terms 1t.
Gladstone is no SLOUGH, himself, having
made quite a name for himself in At
lanta- But to be returned the winner
he will have to step some to get away
with a win tomorrow night over Go
mez.
Johnny Frew, Tommy's premier light
heavyweight, will re-enter the ring
against Bob Bowden, the hard hitting
school.

will have rough shedding in trying ia
dispose of John Crawford. a recent ad-
dition to the b. A. C boxing stable,
This Crawford looks the goods and
handles himself very nicely for an am
ateur. He should prove himself a good
running mate of Dave Evans in the
lightweight class during the southern
championships, if he can get away with
a win over Chestain.
AS curtain raiser, two of Dave
Evans warriors from the Boys club
will step three rounds.
The first bout will start promptly at

Central crimson clad warriors swamped
the Dora five, AZ to IA. yesterday after
noon at the b. A. C. 1t was simply the
triumph of an excellent organization
over one with no team work or pass
work, but having some good long dis
lance shooters. The game was cieanly
played, but the Dora aggregation showed
decided tendency to play the man in
stead of the ball This policy fitted in
with the local boys plan which was to
let Carlisle do most of the shooting, the
Dora lads seeming to be under the inn
preston that only the center and for
wards could make the points.
