CLUBBERS PRIMED FOR BATTLE WITH
 CAMP JENNINGS
Hutsell's Men to Have Hard Battle With Soldier
 Quintet

Jubiiant over their victory over Au- burn Wednesday night, close as it was, Coach Hutsells Clubbers are primed for their game with Camp Benning here tomorrow night. and are confi- dently expecting to romp on the sol dier quintet
 Hutsell's men are in fair shape for the affair Saturday night. Although the game with Auburn was one of the fastest and hardest yet played by the Clubbers,' the local quintet came out of the battle in fairly good shape. Ex- cept for few minor bruises and na- turally stiff muscles, the Clubbers are ready for another game most any time now.
 There was one thing pleasing to To- cal fans Wednesday epting, of course, those who were strongly in- clined towards an Auburn victory and was the improved style of play exhibited by the Clubbers. Hutselrs men played about the best game of the season Wednesday they have put up thus far. Every cog in the club machine was working almost to per- lection, and from the first tip-off everything pointed to C1ubber vic tory despite the wonderful game put up by Auburn.
 Camp Benning will undoubtedly prove harder foe for the club Sat- urday than Auburn was, for the sol- diers hold decision over Mike Dona- hues Tigers, victory cleaniy won and decisive.
 However, if the Clubbers play as well tomorrow night as they did Wednesday. they will stand a good chance of winning.
 The game tomorrow night will be- gin at s:3o o'clock, and will be fol- lowed by a dance.

BARONS GET CLARK FROM BRANTFIELD;
 IS AN OUTFIELDER

Another good prospect has been added to the string of outfelders to report to Molesworth for spring train ing on March 10, as Sumpter Clark has been purchased outright from the Brantfield club of the Michigan-On- tario league. This announcement was made yesterday morning by moguls or the local club. aM
 Clark played with Brantfield last season and the year before. He was sold to the Chicago Cubs on an op tional agreement, but local moguls landed him when Johnny Evers came to the decision that he already had enough outfield candidates and called off the deal with the Brantfield club Clark is now the property of the Barons, as his purchase from Brant- field by "Quacl1" Smith was outright.
 Sumpter Clark is n speedy out
 fielder, being able to do 100 yards
 in 10 seconds flat, He is also
 heavy hitter, Iamming the ball for
 a percentage of .2S0 last season and
 for .333 in 1919. He stole 30 bases
 in 60 games during the 1919 sea
 son.
 Clark is no rookie, having had just enough experience in professional baseball to make him about ripe for a trial in Class A league. He has played with Baltimore, being sent to Brantfield from there. He was with Baltimore during the 1918 season. Bal timore is iE the International league
 Silva and Allen are being counted upon to fill regular berths in the out field and with Clark, Blethen and Pen nington, as well as several recruits, to fight it out for the other position. the Barons should have one of the fast est and hardest hitting outfield trios in the Southern league this season.

TWO HARD GAMES
 FEATURE MEET OF
 E. B. CAGE LEAGUE
First Methodist and HandIey Memorial Win Their
 Games

Last night at the Y. NJ. c. A. two hard fought and rather roughly played games were witnessed by the good sized crowd that came out for the Elm ployed Boys Sunday School league. The First Methodist clan scored one sided victory over the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian the final count being 42 to II. The First Baptist played bet ter than expected and held the Hand ley Memorial boys to a 17 to 9 score. This was the Baptists' second defeat. Both games were very rough. but the fouls were talk en in good spirit and no i'll feeling was evident
 FIRST GAME
 The first game which was between Handley Memorial and First Baptist was closely played in the first half, the score being 12 to [. The second period found the deep water boys with very few chances to score, only one field goal being made by them in that half. For the winners. George IIarwen shot 8 points but did not play much of defensive game. He has very good eye for the basket, but runs too much with the ball, making three fouls of this character last night, Sheppard, at center, played well and Wilson was good at guard. Shook, all though lacking weight, put up a good
 
 Teague, who shot two field goals. Mosely played good defensive game and Carnes was good at forward.
 SECOND GAME Y
 The second contest, although rather lopsided, was a battle from start to finish with the Presbyterian boys fighting all tho time. The Methodist team is well balanced and trained to q high degree of efficiency. Speedy f,- ( sure point getter and scored h counters, although not playing the full time. Howell at center, shot several from right under the basket and played a good all-'round game. Rich ardson looped some wicked ones and Mabry showed good form. Reynolds was good at guard and Hillburn shot two pretty ones the time he was in the game.
 For the losers, Moody is a very accu- rate shot, but did not get the ball much. Trent had many opportunities to shoot but was too slow He played a good defensive game, however The Preds need practice and have good foundation for a team. The majority of the crowd were for the Presbyterian lads and much enthusiasm was in evil dence.
 LINEUP The line-ups and summaries follow: Handley Memorial G7)--Snook and Leslie CD, forwards; Sheppard t7), center; Wilson and Harwell (9), guards
 First Baptist (9)--Carnes (D and Mosely CD, forwards; Teague (4), cen ter; Jones and Robertson, guards. stitutions-Handley Memorials: Nea1ens for Shook.

GERMANS TAKE UP
 BOXING AS THEIR .FAVONTE SPORT
By JAMES J. CoRBErT

The boxing game has secured foot hold in Germany-with what might be called reservations.
 They take pugilistic endeavors very seriously in the land of the former Kaiser. They did little boxing here and there in Germany prior to the war but now it's whole lot different. Every month or so in each of the cities various tournaments are conducted, and as the expression goes, Tt is a very select affair.""
 Folks appear at the boxing tou-na- ments in Germany garbed in faultless evening dress, There isn't merely sprinkling of women through the aud~ ience--it's about 50-50, as far as at- tendance is concerned. And the wom- en seem to enjoy the sport as much as their masculine escorts
 CAN'T CHEER HERE
 It is considered a breach of etiquette to do any cheering during the progress of the bout This undoubtedly will provoke a gasp of astonishment, for American audiences are prone to let loose with full power whenever ehere is even fairly exciting rally in the center of the ring.
 Over in Germany, they reserve the applause until the fight is over If any of the spectators so happens to forget the rules as to break forth with a yell of ecstasy over some fine bit of pugilistic work Or attempts to urge on his favoritc by use of his vocal or gans, that person is warned by milf- voiced usher. The second infraction of such a rule brings the election of that patron and the injunction that he must never again return to that arena until he has learned the rules that govern spectators.
 FOURTH EATERS
 Those who have been in Germany recently rank the fighters there-cven the top-notchers--as fourth raters in comparison with our gladia .ors. There is nothing surprising in that, in as much as the fight game has come into prominence in Germany only since the war ended. The German learned a lot about ring warfare at the front because like the allies. they seized upon boxing as a means of diversion back of the battle lines.
 After the war was over and the German soldiers returned to their for. mer haunts. they carried with them an eagerness to learn more about the fistic game. The German gymnast instructors who, in other days. hsA tried to teach boxins-and failed to interest the German public -suddenly found themselves swamped with pu- pills. Hundreds. then thousands oi youngsters were eager for the priyi- teRe of learning how to box.
 The boxing schools just recentls have been turning out their graduates and sending them into the ring The boys are novices of the crudest kind, because they have not had the benefit of expert teaching. But they are grad ually learning lot concerning ring warfare. and are using their brain7 to perfect ring trickery and very shortly these recruits will develop Into real ring giadiators.

HANLON-KENNEDY FIGHT SHOULD BE
 A GREAT BATTLE

Terrific battling is sure to result when Eddie Hanlon and Sailor" Ken nedy meet in the squared arena at the Birmingham Athletic club Monday night, for two terrific hitters will be pitted against each other. One of these heavy hitting scrappers will probably resort to his former tactics and attempt to box the affair out, while the other is expected to stick to his usual style of fighting and try to force the fighting into slugging match.
 BOXER yS. SLUGGER
 Eddie Hanlon is the boxer, although he possesses a terrible right cross that can do serious damage to any fighter on whose jaw the blow lands. In his heyday-hes a veteran attempt ing a omeback-Hanlon was consid- cred one of the fastest men on his feet in the game.
 Sailor" Kennedy is the slugger. He knows the scientific end of the game also, but his chosen method of attack is to corner his opponent and fight it out, the huskiest and fastest man win ming. Proof of the terrific power that Kennedy can get into his blows was furnished in his recent bout With Battling" Lucas of Atlanta, whom ne floored in the first round with left hook to the. jaw. He didn't knock Lu cas out, however, for the Atlanta re- gained his feet and was crafty enough to avoid another such blow through out the remainder of the battle.
 LANNON'S RECORD
 Eddie Hanlon has met all the best welterweights in the country, includ- ing Jake Abel ttwice), Jack Britton Dick Hyland, Johnny Summers, Young Wallace, George Chip, Jack MacCorran, Packcy Mcfarland, as we'll as great number of lesser lights.
 He has had 116 fights during h's ca reer and has lost but II of them. He has only been knocked down 16 times and knocked out twice in his career Although not of the slugging type, he has always been considered a very dangerous man to mix freely with, due to the terrific right cross of his kENNEDY'S RECORD
 Sailor" Kennedy has done practi' csliy all of his fighting while in the service of Uncle Sam. He is still in the navy on recruiting duty in Bir- mingham. Although not in the record books, he has met some very good men including Gunboat Smith, Sailor Pc trosky, Jack Hamond, Willie Lewis Ted Murphy and Harry Myers. He has also acted as chief sparring partner fol Mike Gibbons, while Mike was at his best. Kennedy is of the slugging type acquiring the habit while in the navy He packs terrific wallop in either hand.
 Out of 39 fights he has 27 knockouts to his credit and has only lost three fights all on decisions.
