JEFFERSON COUNTY. PREP LEAGUE MINES.
 PLAY GAMES TODAY.

The second chapter in the 10-game schedule of the Jefferson County Prep league will be written this afternoon when the local institutions clash on their respective diamonds. The afternoon work win consist of games at Simpson, Jefferson county and Ensley. with Cen. tral, Bessemer and Shades-Cahaba as their respective opponets. real insight at the comparative strength of the teams may be obtained after these games have been decided.
 SHADES -ENSLEY
 The Shade-Ensley encounter will proo- ably be the most important with the new entrant into the race meeting a final test to determine whether they are just a flash h-in-the-pan, or here to stay. The Ensiey team is of very high caliber and should be able to make a good showing this afternoon. McWhirter will probably start the game for the Yellow Jackets, while the rest of the lineup will be the same as before. Shad ''ace-in- the-hole" in the person of Acton. sensational twirler, will probably be the Mountaineers' choice.
 CENTRAL-SIMPSON
 < Central will meet a high class organiza- tion in the Junior Partners and the out look for a tight contest is very bright t1dm1lOn, tIHo lUdlNSA<y- loL elue oiiIpSOii staff, will probably draw the consign- ment in the Simpson box. Either Byrd or Harris will probably sport the Crinl- son colors on the mound. The former was out for several days with the humps but is believed to be back in form Babe" Levy will be at third and either Simpson. Copeland or Mi1liken at second BESSEMER-JEFFERSON COUNTY
 Jefferson County will get an oppor- tunity to come back on their home grounds when they meet the Bessemer Tigers. The Wildcats are expected to show up to advantage and close bat tie is probable. Jack Clay. midget left handler, will probably twirl for the Jeff fersonians, while ''Dogface' Sheridan will likely be the Tiger monndsfnan That these two teams are rather evenly matched would be the conclusion drawn from the performances put up in the first games, but either may pull sur- prise and reverse the standing.

NEW PURDUE COACH

With the great Bemis Pierce all ways at the head, the list of great Indian football players is long one. Bill Dietz. who has been named as coach of the Purdue university eleven for 1921. is eligible to stand high on the honor roll. In 1909-1O-11 Dietz played tackle on the Carlisle Indian outfit ald played it up to the bitter. In 1911 Carlisle team beat Pittsburg. Pennsylvania. Brown and LaFayette, which is something of a record for a school team to achieve. Dietz went out to- Washington State universitv v in 1915. turned in a Pacific coast champion and repeated in 1917. In that year Washington defeated Brown at Pasadena. The football material at Purdue promises we'll and Dietz is the man to handle it.

Penn Crew Mentor Hauing Troubles
 Before Yale Race
By LAWRENCE PERRY

New York, April 11.--Unenviable is the lot of the college rowing coach, Joseph Wright The University of Pennsylvania crew mentor wore an expression today which suggested that he agreed with this sentiment In fact he spoke up and said that he did. The Quakers row against Yale next course at Derby, and MT. Wright does not feel that the fates have striven in his behalf Not thus far at least The observer might feel otherwise if be were guided merely by impressions established by the thrilling spectacle of 20 red and blue crews swinging along on the placid waters of the Schuylkill. Those banks are radiant in all the spring investure of Fair mont park.
 NUMBERS DON'T COUNT r But out of many must come one rythmetic, powerful, delicately finish ed eight. And to date it has not come. It may later in the season. In fact Joseph Wright is hopeful Of this. But the brawn Eli crew awaits on its home waters and within six days the sweep swingers of old Penn will be put to their initial test. How about it? Let the coach tell:
 Until week ago I had coached all season without a coaching launch. Now we have two. That is great improvement, believe me. I had two boats-varsity and junior-filled with men who were big and could row But besides being oarsmen, they were stu dents. That is, they were supposed to be. have my doubts about five of them. So did the faculty. They were declared ineligible to swing cars. That busted my two crews. MT. Wrigh. paused and gestured:
 The two crews we are taking to the Housatanic next Saturday are only fair; they will be better by next Sat urday than they are now, for I am noting steady improvement. In the varsity shell we have only three of boat never rowed a race. Of the other crew, four members have never swung blades in regatta. All I can say we will do the best we can against Yale"
 NEW QUARTERS
 But Joseph Wright, splendid fel- low and an extremely able coach who. has had more than his share of diff faculties at Pennsylvania. finds some brightness in the dubious clouds. Handicapped all season by the lack of a boat house, the crews within 10 days will move into newly constructed quarters the largest and best equipped boat house on the Schuylkill. That will help lot and of course the purchase of the two coaching launches will count. significantly.

HARD LUCK CAMPS ION TRAIL OF LOCAL
 sBOXERSLAST NIGHT
Gomez Is Disqualified for AL 4s Ieged Hitting in the ,E ClincheS
By MARVIN MCCARTHY

. Hard luck attended the efforts of To- cal boxers last night, and Atlanta scrap pers won both ends of a double-header Spill at the Athletic club last night. Bat ting Budd won the decision over Jack |, Brady, while Tim o'Dowd was given the verdict over Lou Gomez, when the lat ter was disoualified in the third round because, as the O'Dowd adherents as ,s~en as the referee said, Gomez was hit ting when coming out of the clinches.
 The Gomez-O Dowd bout preceded the Brady-Budd affair and, while it lasted, ,u afforded the fans an exciting few mo- ements. Gomez apparently outclassed his 7 opponent, and would probably have Sstopped O'Dowd if the referee hadn't beaten him to It and stopped the bout. Lou was hitting the Atlantan with everything but the peeled oranges in the water bucket, when oDowd protested and the referee broke in and decided Gomez was hitting when coming out of the clinches. He sent the boys to their corners and awarded the verdict to the Atlantan- There was some argument as to whether Gomez was disqualified for hitting low or hitting in the clinches, as
 
 latter was finally decided upon, and, ai- though Gomez seemed to be doing very little if any of either. the bout was stopped.
 BRADY HAD HARD LUCK
 It has often been said that boxing bouts in Birmingham are decided in the last round. and that probably was the reason for Budd's victory over Brady last night sss, !. Jack Brady put it all over Budd fn at least seven of the 10 rounds last night. His one. two shift, a. left to the stomach followed by righteto the jaw, was work ing fine and he made special target of Budd's body for his punches- Brady s lightning speed enabled him to hit Budd then get out of the way of the Atlantan' 3 counter. Budd failed to show the speed expected of him
 The Bessemer boy, Brady, didn't run away from Budd, either standing up and exchanging blow for blow. It would have been foolish for Jack to slug it out with Budd, but he did stand up well to his huskier opponent.
 A COMEBACK
 Budd fought fiercely in the ninth round, and this was one of the sessions he did take by a comfortable margin. However, when the judges had turned in ther slips and the referee raised Budds hand in token of victory, there were many who couldn't understand it at all and were not averse to voicing their disapprovaL
 In the preliminary bout Steve Sarron was given the decision over Mickey Bal sam. Both are Boys club boxers.
 Eddie Hanlon and Dummy Harrington, who will fight at the B. A. C. next Mon day night, were introduced to the au- dence.
