gestion of the lungs, according to ply

Washington = Ratification of the
four-power treaty became seriously en-
dangered Wednesday with official dis
closure Of the fact that President Har
ding is at odds with Secretary Hughes
and other armament delegates over the
meaning of the pact.
Hughes and other conference dele
gates have agreed that the treaty in
cludes Japan proper in the territory
which the four signatories agree to
safeguard.
Harding fatty disagreed with this
view, holding that only island posses
sions Of the powers are meant. But
he announced officially that he is will
ing to let the Hughes construction
stand for official purposes
Furthermore, he announced he will
not permit his difference with Hughes
over the meaning of the treaty to en-
barrass the conference or ratification
In the senate. Indications at the
White House, however, are that Hard
ing will refrain from any active cam
paign to force the treaty through the
senate.

ANSON'S BATTING RECORD EQUALED
 VERY FEW TIMES
For Fifteen Consecutive Sea- sons, Great Batsman Hit
 300 or Above

Adrian c. Anson unconsciously left . record for batsmen to shoot at for years after he finished his work on the dia- mond By batting for 15 consecutive sea- sons at 300 clip and never slipping be- low that mark in a single season. the great player of bygone days seemingly left . mark that would never be- sur passed.
 Beginning with the season that Anson finished, a certain Honus Wagner began to build up a record in batting that at the end of. 17 seasons he didn't fail in a single season to bat 300 or better Ty Cobb is within range of Wagner's mark and has Anson's record tied.
 A wonderful player was Captain Anson. For 2 seasons he played first base and managed the Chicago Nationals. and, as stated, in his first 15 seasons batted 300 every year. In 1891 he missed the mark by points. In 1892 he slipped down to .274. During the last five seasons he again struck the 300 trail and finished his wonderful career with mark of .302 in the 112 games he played during 1897, the last season of his long and glorious ca reer

Central Quintet
 Meets Tuscaloosa
 Y.M.C.A Here Today

The crimson-ciad carriers of Central s basketball championship hopes are on edge for their final battle before the state tournament, when they collide with the kaulton Y. RI. c. A. delegation from Tuscaloosa today. This contest is ex- pected to result in a local victory, out, with basketball being the most uncer- tain game in the sport directory, one never can tell what might happen, s9 the Centraiites should not become over confident.
 The boys are in very good condition and all that is necessary is for them to remain the same till February M. This is usually the hardest test that an ath- lete ever has to undergo, but Coach Meyers can be relied on to keep his lads in trim. The team will probably enter its regular lineup in todays game, and good attendance is expected, this being the final scheduled game.
 The Tuscaloosa aggregation seems to be composite pick of the best basket ballers in that city and are expected to put up a good brand of ball Jim Up- church, star quarterback and all-round athlete, who covers the center position for the Tuscaloosa High school team, also cavorts on the court for the " bunch.
 Red" Vaughn, star guard for the High school quintet, will hold down one of the Hanks for the visitors. He played very good game when Central played Tuscaloosa High and can be relied upon to make the Crimson forwards work for their points. The other members or this team are not known. but are said to be experienced basketeers.
 The team has defeated several prep aggregations this season, but minus the oF n Vaughn they held the Tuscaloosa school boys to close score The contest is scheduled sto begin about 3:15 p. m. today and will DC played in the B. A. c. gym.

Glass Football Is Attracting Great
 Interest at Auburn
By LESLIE 5. cILBERT

Auburn. February 1S.--(Special )-Whila February is not known as a football month in athletic circles, round of in- terest has been kept up in the game for the past two months through the con- tests which have been waged between the various classes in the college. If you can't get placed on the varsity team -get located on your class team-which is the next best chance for winning fame. And so through continuous prac- tice for quite period each class has developed an Il of considerable merit, whose relative powers can be determined only by actual conflict
 TWO GAMES
 This has just been had in the contests last week of the Junior and Sophomore classes and later of the Senior class and the Freshman. In the first match, the two teams were so evenly balanced that neither side scored a touchdown. The Juniors had a narrow escape, however, when Taylor from the Sophomores blocked low punt, and booted the ball back such distance that 1t reached their five-yard line before the Juniors recovered it. There was considerable spilling and hard tackling in the game but the Juniors won out on yardage gain. Caton and Shirling were their coaches
 Tn the game between the Freshmen and Seniors, Cook scored for the latter the only touchdown, through a triple pass which netted 40 yards. The Freshmen as usual did not play up to the standard against the older classmen-though Crane did some most creditable work. The Seniors showed the good coaching of Ollinger and Red Brown playing a cool, steady game with good driving power. Powell. with 40-yard run, put the team in a position to score. Cook hit the line for consistent gains, while Boyd made first class quarter.
 FINAL GAME
 The final contest between the Seniors and the Juniors for the class champion- ship will be played off at p. m. Tues day. February 22 as one of the special features of the exercises attendant upon the inaugural of pr. Spright Dowell as president on that day. It will be bat tie royal in the opinion of those who have been watching the two teams work out during the past week.

BESSEMER QUINT
 BEATS WILDCATS

Bessemer High schools basketball quintet defeated the fast Jefferson County High five in Bessemer yester- 'Gay afternoon, 27 to 24. The game was fast, and furious from start to finish and the victor was undecided until the final whistle blew.
 The county boys put up a terrible battle, but fell before the team work and excellent shooting of the Bessemer players.
 Both teams passed the ball we'll and the game, which was played on an outdoor court, was fast and snappy throughout.
 Clay, Jefferson County High school forward, was, perhaps, the star of the game, from an offensive standpoint, anyway. He scored Is of the Wildcats 24 points. His shooting was excellent and he missed only one trial for a goal.
 The guarding of Hawkins and Thomas for Bessemer had a lot to do with the Tigers victory. These sen- tfnels kept the county boys well cov- cred and allowed them few open shots. F. Waller and Fishbach, forwards did most of the scoring, with 16 points between them. Hawkins scored five points. Every Bessemer player scored at least two points.
 Shaibb and Davidson played well on the defensive for the Wildcats, while Gillespie scored two pretty field goals. Lineups follow:
 eBessemer t2D--F. Waller (S) and Fishbach (S), forwards; Falkner ,2. center; Hawkins (5) and Thomas t2), guards.
 Jefferson County (24)--Clay (S) and Ferguson, forwards; Gillespie (4), cen ter; Shaibb and Davidson, guards
