Metro star whose work on the screen
is a thing of undiluted joy, will be
seen at the Crescent theatre on Mon
day for a run of three days, in her
latest picture, "Life's Darn Funny"
a Dallas NJ. Fitzgerald production
adapted from the Saturday Evening
Post story. "Caretakers Within" by
Christie Jope Slade.
Nearly everybody sometimes in his
life has occasion to say apropos OF
some unusual experience that takes
II completely by surprise. Lies
Darn Funny" And it is. You will
think so in this picture when you see
Zoe Robert, the ambitious but strug-
Cling violinist, who is about t. launch
on her career with a. recital. when
she discovers the lack of a gown
may prevent her debut. AS luck
would have it, another artist, Clay
Warwick, painter by profession ana
landlady-dodger by necessity, hears
her weeping and comes on the scene
and designs a stunning frock for her.
Both later go into the costume de-
signing business. hoping to gain some
money, but things go wrong cont1nu-
ally. Always at the eleventh hour
something propitious ~intervenes n
in the end both are launched sue
cessfully on their artistic careers.

 FOOTBALLS FOR 1920

Ensley's 1920 gridiron warriors received gold footballs Friday morning in the auditorium. as an award for their splen- did and faithful services which they per- formed tor the Gold and Black last sea- son. The showing that the Yellow Jeckets made last year was excellent, and although almost always outweighed many pounds to the man, the Ensley representatives always came through with the goods
 The ceremony was begun by a talk by Professor Mims, principal of the Ensley High school, who made a very interest balls were so late arriving. "Whitie' end for two years, was the first to re- ceive his pendant Dog" Fayet, cap tain-elect succeeded Peck on the plat form, after which the following received their charms in the order named: 'Hoss' Candy, 1920 captain; Midget, Tinkle- paugh, Polly" Scokel, "Agie" Rosen- field, Goose Williams, Mendenhall Jack Wa6eson, Dick Burton and ZacM Walker.
 The presentation of the emblems was terminated with speech by Coach Hovater, who also received a football. Hcvater made a very inspiring address, speaking about the prospects for next season and the fine work which the boys did last season. Of the 15 letter men from last season no less than dozen will report for practice next fall. With this foundation and an excellent coach it is practically impossible for the Jack cts tc fail to turn out winning eleven

 OF DIXIE RACE

Memphis, April 16.-Memphis held the lead at the end of the first half week of the 1921 Southern association pennant race with single win, the only game of the four scheduled played to a decision, while Birming- ham. with four games played. took second place by virtue of three vic- tories and one defeat
 Mobile was next with two games won and lost; Chattanooga and New Orleans were tied for fourth place with two won and two lost Atlanta won one and lost two, Nashville won one and lost three and Little Rock lost the only game played to a result.
 Two of the Memphis games, all scheduled with Little Rock were rained out, and today's game ended by darkness after the tenth inning postponement was today's Atlanta Mobile game, which was prevented by rain.
 While no official figures have been given out, unofficial reports indicate that record crowds attended the open ing games in the cities where the sea- son has started.

SCRIBES ABOUT TO
 FINISH GOLF MEET
 AT ROEBUCK CLUB
Henry Vance and Eric Levison Meeting in First Flight
 Finals

After Tuesday no more will the bat tie rage. No longer will the gnashing of teeth and hot, poorly suppressed ex- and valleys of Roebuck. All will be peace and tranquility, for the scribes of Birmingham will have finished their golf tournament.
 Henry Vance of The Age-Herald meets Eric Levison of the ex-newspaper clan in the final match of the first flight. They have played less badly than their contemporaries and for this reason will fight it out between themselves for the laurels of victory.
 A noble scrap is expected to result when Zipp Newman and Marvin Mo- Carthy, sporting editors. respectively, of the News and Age-Herald clash in the consolation of the first flight. A wager between the two was proposed; in fact it was suggested that a straw hat be placed at stake when these two meet. However, zipp claims that straw doesn't go well with his complexion, and Mac says he's too broke to buy Zipp hat anyway, so it is not like ly that much gambling will be done on this bout unless some pros get to- gether and form a regular baseball pool, drawing lots for the different holes, the man winning who draws the hole on which the largest number of strokes are required by the two copy murderers. Even this plan has it's drawbacks. Newman and Mccarthy might find some kale under their pill lows, and it would be cinch then.
 In the second flight, H. H. Harper Of The Age-Herald meets Lewey Rob- inson of the Post for the champion ship Although eliminated from the first flight in the qualifying round, each has played really good golf and hot match is expected between the two.
 In the consolation of this flight, Jim Chappell of the News will exercise his authority over Pete Marzoni, also of the News, and will no doubt defeat his employe, especially as said employe is giving him a handicap of three and half strokes per hole.
 VANCE PLAYS GOOD GOLF
 Those who have met Henry Vance have about come to the decision that Henry pulled something over them when he obtained a handicap of threo strokes. for The Age Herald dope spiller has played about as consistent golf as anyone in the tournament It's a cinch that he hasn't needed the three strokes given him per hole to win his matches. Vance is the favorite to cop the tournament and the numerous trophies that go to the winner as he will be given 1a strokes over Lev;son and a handicap of this size is mighty hard to overcome, especially when the one benefited is as good as Vance is.
 HARPER VS. ROBINSON
 H. H. Harper of The Age Herald lost out to Eric Levison in the qualifying round simply because Eric played ;L mighty good game. It was Harper's first attempt. and a mighty good one, at that. He mas proven arsenic~in the second flight and has been doped to win over Robinson, although the Post representative is expected to give him a battle for the honors.
 These final matches must be played by Tuesday night and the cards turned in to Roy Cohen.

HI SCHOOL TRACK
 MEET EXPECTED TO. BE 4 LARGE AFFAIR
Medals and Trophies to Be
 Given By University
Rn REN GREEN

Coach Charles A. Berpfer or the University of Alabama has begun an active campaign to obtain entrants for the second annual interscholastic track and field meet which will be held in Tuscaloosa on April 2s and 30. He has sent entry blanks and all the details and regulations by which the meet will be governed to practically all of the important high schools in the state and is expecting goodly number of entrants.
 The university is offering every in- ducement possible to bring the ath- letes to the meet and are putting more than the usual share of money and time in the matter. There will be no entry fees to the tourney, and the visitors will be the guests of the uni- versity while in the city, so there win be no expenses besides railroad fare.
 Two large and beautiful loving cups, the University of Alabama and the Farley Moody cups, will be given to the winners of the field and track meet (team scoring the greatest num- Der of points, and to the team win ring the relay race, respectively. A gold medal will be given to each first place winner, while silver and bronze medals VIII De pTeSeilleu to the Sec- end and third place men. A gold medal will also be given to each mem Der of the winning relay team.
 The relay race will count five points for first place, three for second and one for third, like any other event. The schedule of events follows: Track events, 100, 220 and 440-yard dashes, SS0-yard and one mile runs, 120-yard high hurdles and 220-yard low hurdles: field events, running high and broad jumps, pole vault, discus throw, jaw elin throw and 12-pound shot-put
 This meet will practically consist of southern high school meet, as ap- plications from Georgia, Mississippi and Tennessee schools are expected. The relay race is figured on to be tn , main event on the card, because the winner of this cup wins through team W ork and not solely individual ability. Any one wishing information on the subject should get in touch with Coach Bernier immediately.

Miss Leitch is indeed star, super-golfer. and the woman who defeats her must certainly play ex- traordinary golf. Miss Stirling knows this. Unquestionably she is as strons a woman golfer as we have had for a long time; she has the great merit of consistency, courage and a good heart under all conditions. Of course, if she should catch Miss Leitch at all off her game, she might win; but there is no reason for belief, or hope, that the British woman will be caught in any such plight. There are few flaws in her game, and she runs up minimum of bad scores.
