POSTPONE ACTION
By Associated Press

Lexington Ky, January 7.-Final ac- tion by tobacco growers and ware housemen on the situation growing out of failure of tobacco buyers to pay sat isfactory prices to growers in the bur ley tobacco district, was postponed to- day until January 13 The meeting of these interests, started here this morn ing and adjourned late tonightewill be resumed on that date after a commit tee confers with buyers for the large manufacturers on prices for the 1920 crop.
 Growers from 35 of the 5S burley to- 5acco growing counties of Kentucky together with representatives of In- diana and Ohio growers, at meeting prior to the conference with bankers and warehousemen, voted to refuse to plant tobacco in 1921 and to hold the 1920 crop. Their action was tenta- lively indorsed a the later conference.
 A new development of the situation was the receipt of telegram from Congressman J. Campbell Cantrell calling a mass meeting in Lexington January II, at which he said that he would outline a plan which he be- lieved would prove solution. No hint of his plan was given. All tobacco mar kets which closed last Tuesday when the general movement for closing the warehouses started, today were asked by the conferees here to remain closed until January 1l.

WITH THE SCRTBES OF OTHER CITIES
IN THE DAYS
 OF "JOHN L."

If John L. Sullivan were alive today his comments on the pugilistic situation would be picturesque and enlightening. With Sullivan the amount of the money at stake was a secondary consideration He never put up his hands in a contest where there was money for the loser The fact that any man thought himself his equal, with or without gloves, was all that counted in Sulivaps mind.
 When Sullivan fought Klrain at Rich burg, Miss, ;or the heavyweight cham pionship of the world in the late sos the stakes were N000l a side, winner take all The heavyweight of today who wants for single contest guaranty amounting to perhaps as much money as John L. sullivan earned in all his rlng battles, would weaken at the thought of fight to a finsh with bare knuckles and-London prize ring rules the conditions which governed that memorable meeting in Mississippi.
 The ring was pitched in a grove of pines From which the largest trees had been cut. There was little or no shade for principles or spectators. An August sun beat upon them with tropic fury The thermometer registered 107 at II o'clock. The men, naked save for trunks. spiked shoes and short socks, fought from o'clock until shortly after noon. Their bodies were bruised by blows and bistered hX the sun until the skin piled in furrows before the glancing impact or the knuckles which had been hardened by picking in ar oak tan solution for months.
 That day Sullivan showed his invlnc- hility as pugilist, when properly trained and by the clean tactics he pur- sued during the battle earned the ad- miration of every onlooker

PAINTERS TO MEET ALABAMA TONIGHT

The caged Panthers of Birmingham Southern will leave for Tuscaloosa this morning, where they will meet the Uni- versity of Alabama basketball team to- night. The Panther squad, while weak ened by the loss of Propst and Miller. center and Coward respectively is in fairly good shape for the game tonight.
 Propst will be out of the game for at least two weeks more on account of an injured hand, while Miller didn't return to school after the Christmas holidays. Miller may show up yet, and all Panther boosters are hoping that he will.
 Coach Brown will use either Candy or Green at center tonight with Norton, Griffin or Richardson at forwards. while Richardson, Green or Saffarans will be used at guards.
 University has a strong team this year and can be counted upon to show up strong for the southern title.
 As Birmngham-South is now in the g. l. A. A, tonight's basketball game is classed as a conference battle.

Morrison is said to be one of the best basket shooters in Dixie, and it was largely the result of his splendid work last season that Atlanta defeated the B. A. c. twice.
 Both Bryan and Morrison are tall rangy chaps close Suarders and good passers. The battle between these two should be one of the features of the game.
 GUARDS
 Hutsell has pair of guards second to none this year in Smith and Laugh linhouse Both are extremely hard men for forwards to make any kind of prog ress with, as their guarding is of the closest kind. Neither is much of an offensive star, both choosing to let their forwards and center do the goal shooting while they hold off the op- posing forwards.
 For Atlanta, Graves and Oliver, two players will hold down the guard positions. Scrappy Sullivan will be in reserve.
 Atlanta A. c. has versatile attack. The players are able to score goals employing passwork alone to work the ball down under the baskets into d scoring position. Then the Atlanta for wards can shoot many goals from long distance It is at this style of play that Westmoreland and Morrison are best, it is said.
 The C1ubbers have adopted the short pass system and have been getting results from this style Of play. Short, accurate passes feed the ball down the court to the forwards. who toss it into the basket.
 Hutsell has been drilling his men in team work and he announces that his players are in readiness for the game tonight and have a good chance of win ming, although the B. A. c. coach real- izes that his team is going up against one of the best aggregations in the country.
 The game tonight will start at S:S0 o'clock promptly and will be played on the gymnasium floor of the B. A. C.. The game will be followed(by the usual dance, and the advance sale of tickets seems to indicate that large crowd will be on hand tonight.
 Tickets are on sale at the office of the secretary at the B. A. C..
