Dog Gives Chase.

John Foster, toward > o'clock in the
morning. was about TO call his dog
and go down the mountain when the
dog spied a wild goat in the under
brush and made after it. The goat
went from rock to rock at a merry
pace. and Fosters young collie held
the chase until the goat had distanced
him completely.
Ultimately the collie stopped at the
edge of a cliff which doomed over
Fosters head, and from which, as Fos-
ter thought, the animal was unable
to make his way down. At least he
made no attempt TO return.
After q toilsOme ascent Foster made
his way to where the collie stood, still
barking furiously. And as Foster
reached the top Of the cliff he found
little Henry standing there, wet
through with rain but full Of cheer
and smiles and apparently with no no
ton that his absence from home had
cost any one a wink Of Sleep.

Freddie Boorde
To Meet McGinty
Out In Pratt CITY

Interest in boxing at Pratt City is
getting higher every day and the
Pratt City fans are proving to be
some of tina most rabid fight fans
around this part of the country The
first fight held at the new Boys
club there was a 10-round go between
McElwan and John McGinty. After
10 rounds McGinty was given the de-
cislon. The fight was good and so
was the crowd SO as result of this
Freddie Boorde and John McGinty
will fight another 10-round bout out
in Pratt City Thursday night.
The two boys have met on two oc-
casions previously and Freddie has
been the winner In both scraps. In
the first fight. which was only sched-
uled for six rounds, Boorde won with
a kayo in the second stanza, but in
the last fight between these two boys
the bout went the full 10 rounds with
Mr.. Boorde getting the decision.
McGinty fought a good fight, how
ever, and he believes that he is bet
ter scrapper than Freddie. and he
wants the chance to demonstrate it
in his own home town. McGinty has
worked hard and faithfully for a long
time now and in the last six months
ne has shown worlds of Improvement.
and is beginning to look like good
scrapper.

dearth of trading of players between
major league clubs, which marked
last weeks gathering of the clans.
attribute it to the high prices paid
for minors, which has thrown the
market out of gear and has given the
club owners something to think
about,
The sensational sales made by Pa
cific coast clubs to teams in the big
circuits are believed by followers Of
the game to be responsible for the
lack of action.
The subject became a topic of the
sport after the big leagues had end
ed their sessions and it was found
that only one deal, sending player
from one major league club to an
other. had been the outcome of the
week. From the viewpoint of the fan
in this respect it was said the SEES
sions were a disappointment.
An illustration of the sentiment in
regard to the decline In player
trades was given by Ty Cobb. when
he remarked that II man like Jim
my O'ConneI. who has been in mi
nor league baseball only two years,
was worth $4,000. what was Bob

SHELBY COUNTY
FIVE WINS HARD
GAME FROM SIMPSON

Columbians, December 19.-(Spe-
the last minute of play, the Shelby
County High five managed to win
the prettiest game of basketball ever
played here, from the Simpson High
team by the narrow margin OF IA to
IS. The game was featured by great
defensive work on the part of both
teams and was without a doubt the
best game ever seen here. Both
teams fought hard and clean all of
the way through and were so evenly
matched that it was doubtful as to
which team was the best when the
game was over.
In the first half both teams put up
a sensational defensive, only points
being made and these were made by
Crumpton. However. in the second
half both teams launched a strong
offensive, and it was Simpsons game
until the Shelby team made two goals
In the very last minute of play.
The stars for the winners were
Whorton, who made eight OF the Co
lumbiana teams points, and Allen
and Crumpton, who played great
games on the defensive.
The outstanding men on the Simp-
son five were Hanna, Wheeler and
Vincent. Coach Reynolds will take
his team to Wetumpka for a game
| tonight.

Stan zbyszko hit the Magic City

Hindu grappler Thursday night ana
the champ reports himself to be in
the best of condition and is looking
forward to upsetting all of Mr.. Co
bars title hopes. However, the big
Pole is not taking any chances of
losing. as he realizes fully that in
meeting the oriental wrestler he is
facing a man that will be capable OF
giving him a battle just as hard as
that, Lewis or Stecher would be able
TO give him,
Stan has not let up on his work
outs and the first thing he did on ar
irving in Birmingham Monday was to
get into some gym toys and take
long jsunt through the streets of Bir-
mingham. He is also having indoor
workouts at the B. A. c. and expects
TO be in the best of shape when he
meets Gobar. as he IS taking no
chances with the big Hindu.

Birmingham will get to see the most
powerful man that ever wrestled here

as the strongest and most powerful
wrestler in the world zbyszko has
been working so hard lately that he
probably weighs less than he has
weighed at any time during his ca
reer. When he came to this country
two years ago he weighed ESQ and
was thought to be in the best OF

his manager, he viii weigh 22S
pounds when he goes in the ring
against the big Hindu, This is less
than he usually weighs, but even
that is a great weight when one

when one takes this into considera-

than any wrestler in the heavyweight

Zbyszko has with him the belt

one of the few that Richard has given
as title emblems In different sports
and is said to be one of the most
costly belts that he has given away.
1t will be on display at Bromberg's

According to his manager the champ
has never been better at any time
during his career than he Is now and
he is counting on giving the fans the
liveliest entertainment that they have
ever had so far as the wrestling game
goes.

Birmingham's Rest Graduate

Birmingham's Hest Graduate
From the present angle 1t
would look like Pie Is the best
graduate Birmingham ever sent
into a big league camp. That's
saying a lot, too. There was Bur
leigh Grimes, who now ranks as
one of the best right-handed
pitchers in baseball. There was
Whitley Glazner, who stood at the
top of National league hurlers
last year There was the ancient
Slim Sallee. who cavorted
through several world series, and
pitched ball clubs tot National
League pennants Many others
have gone up from the local
camp and have shone with the
brilliance of a Koohinoor. But 1t
remained for Gibby to give Pie
Traynor the greatest word of
praise ever accorded a rookie
from the miner league ranks.
Here's what he said recently,
when interviewed by n reported
from the New York Sun: will
YOU trade Schmidt, or Whitted?'
the reporter asked. "Pll trade
any man on my club-bar one"
Gibson replied. e.

mo, Traynor."
Think pretty we'll OF him, do
your"
I'll say so" replied the Pirate
boss.
Now, what do you think of that?
A man who played around the
shortfield for the Barons last
season Is looked upon as the most
valuable man on a big league
ball club. Gibson has offered to
trade any man on the roster with
the exception of Pie. Even the
millions of Muggsy McGraw
couldn't pry loose this brilliant
young infielder.
All of which goes to prove that
local baseball bugs didn't realize
the class they were witnessing in
action when they saw Pie scoop
up grounders or lam out base hits
during the season of 1921.
Gibson Raves On
Gibby didn't stop there in his
praise of the ex-Baron short
smith. He seemed to be on lingo
spree and gave Pie all the praise
in the deck. Pickens had the
clippings to show It.
Somebody just told me Branch
Hickey said Traynor was the best

echo his sentiment. Now, I'll go
into details. This boy has ability

you could knock 1t off with a
stick. He's so good that I don't

in the box or behind the bat, and
he'll make good for me. He'll

Now, those who know Pie in

has the former Baron shortsmith's

And early quit my cosy bed

Across the snow drifts. clustering white,
Yet once inside that little shack
The scene was generously black
And frightful forms appeared to be
