At no time during the game, except at the last minute of play, was there more than two points differ ence in the score. The Shelby County High school boys were exceptionally good at pass work, but the Leeds boys had them outclassed at throwing the goals. Hartsfield and Aders, the Leeds guards, held the fast Shelby forwards to one goal each. Adkins, the Leeds for ward, as usual led in scoring, making ls points while Hurst, the other forward for Leeds scored six points. The referees by halves were Propst of Birmingham Southern college and Abercrombie oi Leeds. Not single complaint was reg istered against these officials.

NEW LEAGUE HEAD |INSPECTS SITES
 FOR LEAGUE PARKS
Considering Installing Negro or Cuban CIubs-May Union-
 ize Baseball

New York. January 8.-George Herman Lawson, president of the recently incor- porated Continental Baseball association, was here today inspecting park sites for the new league clubs which he hopes 10 install in or near this city. He said that during his present trip, which will take him as far south as Richmond, he ex- poets to place the state franchises for New York, New Jersey and Maryland.
 The promoter and executive of the new outlaw" league said that three of the eight franchises for the eight-club league had been granted as follows: Indiana with the state club. playing at lndian- apolis: Massachusetts, playing at Boston, : Ontario, playing at Toronto. The New Jersey state franchise was practically cinched for Camden, Lawson stated
 CONSIDERS NEGRO CLUBS
 In connection with the New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts fran chises. Lawson said he was strongly con- siderlng the installation of negro or Cu- ban clubs. He pointed out that the me- gro population of Boston and Philadei- phia formed large percentage of the city population, and that there were al least 100 negro baseball players in tnis country who equailed, in playing skill the best average of the major leagues. ana who were barred from playing in either the major or minor leagues.
 Among the sites to be inspected in this vicinity were the former Federal league parks in Brooklyn and Newark Lawson said that it was not the intention to build new parks this season where former parks were available, and that the new league would purchase parks and baii clubs outright if they were available After the new league is established, ne said he favored the plan of recruitins new players entirely within the limits ol the state represented by the club Tn orocf that the team might be really a state or eanization instead of collection of base ! ball players from all sections of the country.

PARSONS, A BARON, PITCHED THE FIRST
 NO-HIT IN THE 5. [.
Old Timer Reviews Season ot 1885 in Southern League.
 Box Score
By ERNEST J. LANIGAN

A Birmin gham hurler-a chap by the name of Parsons--had the honor of pitch ing the first no-nit game in the Southern association, doing so on May g, 1885, ana picking on the Augustus as his victims. Parsons game wasn't a perfect affair, like Tom Rogers effort of July Il, 1915, against Chattanooga, or Ben Tincup's ex- ploit of June IS of the following year against Birmingham, for he hit man and members of his supporting company Troy, first baseman, and Corriden, sec ond baseman-rnade errors that put men on the paths. The score of the first hit less game in the Southern was 3s>to O the pitcher who was on the wrong end of it becoming a great deal better known than the victor
 Matt Klroy pitched for Augusta tn. day the Georsians were retired without a hit by Parsons, and his work wasn't sc bad since he let the Coal Barons of & years back down with five hits ant famed six of them. In those days pitchers used to get assists when they famed men, which accounts for the large number credited to Parsons and Kilros in the box score Actually Parsons had one assist and Kilroy five.
 This is the box score of the first nos hit game on record in the Southern as sociation, or Southern league, as it wa' then called:

Runs Responsible
 For New Phase of
 Diamond Statistics
ax IRWIN NJ. HOWE

With the publication or last season $ American league averages. a new phase of statistics was introduced in the form of runs responsible for which show the extent to which each player was 9ble to send his mate across the plate by a timely swat.
 For the 1920 season, Iris Speakers Cleveland Indians are shown to have amassed the greatest number Of tallies, by registering their pals 75S times. New York was second, with TAI, and toward this total the wicked mace of Babe" Ruth was responsible for 137, which inc cidentally was the high mark for the year.
 But for the timely hitting of the C1eve- land sluggers in 46 of the clubs battles, the recent pennant campaign would have had an entirely different aspect. This
 number of games was chalked up in the
 Indians won column, due to the fact
 that they delivered in a pinch in 23 con-
 tests which were won by the slim mar
 gin of a single run; Il meetings which
 they won by two-run lead; and 12 duels
 won by three-run advantage. SOME STARS
 The Cleveland players prominently in strumental in delivering at crucial mo- ments were Elmer Smith, Gardner and Speaker, who sent across S5, S4 and B teammates, respectively. f1du IL ho' been for the opportune slugging Of this trio in the team's tightest encounters, Cleveland fans would not now be glory flying in their first championship since the start of the junior circuit. The work of Smith is the most noteworthy, as he saved more games to his club and accomplished this in 2l games less than Speaker and 3 less than Gardner Except for Detroit, every club was at one time or another depressed by Smith s hitting. St. Louis particularly tasted more defeats at the hands of the Indian outfielder than by any other athlete in | the league. Whenever the occasion de- handed Smith is shown to have dis | pensed q few timely bingles for total of 10 runs in the Clevelanders games with St. Louis.

Red Sox pitchers faiieo to prevent the Indian sluggers cloutins and in several meetings Gardner snatched apparent defeats from the fire. A quar- tet of blows in games with St. Louis and Washington spelled disaster to those clubs in one or two instances during the season.

 nished the runs that enabled his club to emerge on top. A half dozen counters against both St. Louis and Washington were in no small measure the reason why theue stubborn foes were vanquished.
