Farrell Puts o. K. On Cotton States
 Baseball League

Meridian. Miss. February 21.-(Special.) W. A. Anderton of Meridian, secretary of the Cotton states Baseball association, has received notice from J. F. Farrell, secretary of the National Baseball asso- citation, which virtually gives a clean bill of health to all clubs asking entrance to organized ball. which makes it possible to figure on a meeting of the Cotton States magnates to complete plans of the league. Secretary Farrell stated his rec crds showed that one or two players had claims against two of the clubs men tioned in the organization of the Cotton States league, but he did not think such claims would be pushed. The sums are trifling, it is stated, and would be taken up should the demand be made.
 Meridian, Jackson, Pensacola and Greenwood are now the known members of the Cotton States league, and it is confidently expected that Clarksdale and /Vicksburg will gain entrance during the present week. while there are said to be promising chances that Helena. Ark, and Alexandria, La, increasing the size of the league to eight towns.

The col lege lads got the big end of the score in the first few minutes of play and kept it there until near the end of the game, when the Crimsons rallied and, by fast teamwork and a succession of beautiful shots, carried the visitors off their feet and came out one point in the lead Both teams displayed excellen. team work and kept the ball going at full speed during every minute of play ing.
 Bogue. for Spring Hill. made up for his lack of weight by his lighting speed and his accurate shots came near spell ing disaster for the Crimsons. Schneider at center, also played a high, class game.
 For Alabama, AcGauley and Kennedy did splendid work. while the floor work of Leake and Bickley was spectacular Summary and lineup:

Sidney Lanier Has
 Strong Quintet to Enter In Big Meet
By THOMAS HALL

Montgomery, February 2l-(Special)- Announcement was made here tonigh. by Coach J. s. McCants of the Sidney he would carry eight players to Birming- ham to take part in the Alabama High school basketball tournament, to be held there on Thursday, Friday and Satur day. For the past several weeks Coach McCantS has been hard at work with his basketeers, and expects to have his players make a credtable showing in the tournament
 Lanier's varsity team this year is rather light, but possesses plenty of speed, and grit, especially the latter. In the early games where Lanier has been outweighed by their opponents, the play CTS fought with determined spirit and when the names closed, Lanier was hold ing the large end of the scores. The team this year is built up of freshmen, only one regular letter player of last years team back this season. Hudson, who played last year al guard, has been shifted to center. He is big husky chap weighing 175 pounds. The other members of the team will not average 135 pounds
 Coach McCants has not definitely de- cided as to the players who will make the trip to Birmingham. Of course the regular lineup of Kiminsky and Grif- fifth, forwards; Hudson, center; Willis and McGauley. guards, will make ths trip, but the substitutes have not been selected. From present indications t looks as though Estes. McFadden and Brunson will have the call to act as substitutes having shown more fight and ability than the other candidates
 Coach McCants will leave here We'd nesday afternoon with his players and will probably make the Morris hotel their headquarters during their sojourn in Birmingham. The students at Lanier are keyed up over the tournament. and a large number of the students are plan ming to make the trip with their team.

New York National outfielder. who was indicted a year ago in con- nection with the theft of an automo- bile, will be unable to accompany the other Giants departing next Saturday for their southern training camp. as it was ruled today that he must stand trial late this month or early in March.
 kauff was indicted February 19, 1920, and his counsel, in asking for later trial contended that as the case could have been tried earlier, it would be an injustice to hold the trial at this time and thus impair his clients liveli- hood by preventing him from getting spring practice.

CRIMSONS COMING HERE FRESH FROM
 4 WIN LAST NIGHT
Leake and Keith, Local Boys, Sure to Play in Game
 Tonight
PROBABLE LINE-UPs

(oacn bernler ana ms crimson cage sters will invade the Magic City for the first and only time this year, when they encounter the Clubbers on the B. A. C. court tonight, the game being called promptly at o'clock.
 Alabama comes to Birmingham today fresh from a hard-won victory oyer the Spring Hill quintet last night, 26 to 25 Eernier's men overcame the lead of the Hillians in the last few minutes and barely won by a one-point margin.
 M'GAULEY A STAR
 In the game last night, McGauley, stellar little forward of the Crimsons ably upheld the reputation which he has been winning for himself this season scoring IS points for the Crimsons. Mo Gauley will probably prove to be one oi the hardest obstacles that Hutsel1s Club berS will have to overcome tonight. lie is said to be an exceedingly fast and shifty forward to guard, as we'll as being a dead shot when given an open trial at the basket.
 Dorrah and Bicllley have been alter hating at center and it is hard to tell which one will start tonight but Bicaley proba ply stands the best chance of draw ing the assignment.
 Armstead Leake, a Birmingham boy. has been playing splendid game for Alabama at guard and he will most likely start the game at one of the guard positions tonight, Armstead is a Central High school boy and his many friends in Birmingham will no doubt welcome the opportunity to witness him in action tonight
 Keith, who starred in athletics at Jeff ferson County High last season, is sure to play tonight also.
 Hutsells men are anxiously awaiting the opening whistle tonight, as they nave been looking forward to this game for several weeks. The Clubbers journeyed down to Tuscaloosa shortly after the opening of the season and were de- feated by the Crimsons, F to 12. Re- venge for that drubbing has been the goal toward which Hutselps men have been working lately and they frankly admit that they would rather win the game tonight than almost any on their schedule.
 The splendid game put up by the Club bers against Mississippi A. & M. here last Saturday night, when the locals won, 36 to 26 is evidence enough of the fit condition in which Hutselrs men are. AS the Mississippi Aggies twice defeated Alabama, it would seem that the Club bers have an edge on the Crimsons, but the dope has been upset in Birmingham so many times this season that the fans have about quit relying on 1t any more. dance will follow the game tonight and a full house is expected to greet Coach Bernier and his crimson-cloaked athletes tonight
