TAYLOR HIGH SCHOOL DOTS.

On last Friday evening, Dec. 2,
the ladies of Taylor presented very
interesting program in the auditorium
of the Taylor high school. The pro-
gram was opened with that sweet
old song, "When you and l were
young Maggie" sung by the ladies.
After the song Mrs. Byrd rendered
in a graceful manner the reading,
"An Old Sweetheart of Mine" She
was assisted by Mr.. Charlie Lowe,
Miss Marvel Ramey and others who
represented the living characters.
This feature made the popular poem
even more beautiful and impressive.
A piano solo by Mrs. Corrie Jones
was followed with a comic reading,
"Breeches for Two," by Mrs. Elmer
Taylor.
Each of the participants in the
playette, Packing a Missionary Bar
REL" acted her part admirably. The
ridiculous costumes and the local
jokes brought the house down in a
storm of applause.
Two beautiful piano selections
rendered by Miss jamie Golightly and
Miss Edna Busbee respectively follow
ed the playette, and a burlesque drill,
"The Sunbonnet Girls" concluded the
interesting program.

 All tine major ball clubs have been struggling in from their southern training junkets with pftche -s-be- cause of the warm weather in the outhland-weeks ahead of their usual opening season form and yet sad tales to tell of unwonted disaster to star Players. Indeed, in no past year does the writer recall a spring training casualty list of length so great.

 Gibson led the localss attack with a sin gle. double and a home-run. Whipple hit the ball hard. two of his line-drives being pulled down by the fast work of the visitors outfield
 Auburn. started things with rush With two strikes on him, Richardson singled to right and promptly stole sec ond. The next two men went out in or- der. Richardson scored when Jones threw Lassaters bounder over first base Whipple doubled to center and Fulghum ard Brown singled. Gibson ended the scoring with a two- base blow to left Two more runs were added in the sec ond on two hits
 Auhurn's defense was excellent. the team going through the game without an error. Fulghum made several good stops and throws from deep short. Creel also covered left field in great style while Lassater saved several possible err TOTS by picking throws out of the dirt The spectacular play of the~ day was Owens one-handed catch of whipples' line drive in the seventh, preventing a sure home-run. He stood on the edge of the bank jumped into the air and fell over out of sight with the ball.
 Clemson put up a good defense bu. showed decided weakness at the batting end. They could do nothing with John ston's delivery, getting but five hits Their one run came on double steal in the sixth. Scores

BULLDOGS AGAIN
 WALLOPED THE UNIVERSITY TEAM

University April 9.-(SpeciaL)-Tn Bulldogs were again completely wall loped this afternon by the Crimson tossers. Berner's men had little trouble in pulling victory of to 1 over the Howard boys in a very one-sided game
 In the first framo Han went to sec ond on an error, stole third, and came in on fielder's choice. thereby start ing the scoring for Alabama. In the second inning. Sewell was walked and Brown brought him iR and ed him self by pretty homer deep into left field. The next three counters came in the fourth inning, when Pitts started off with single. Brown sacrificed, Bob Hinton caught the ball on the nose and sent it out for three bag Der, and Hall followed him up with another three base beauty scoring later The other two runs were made in the sixth and seventh frames.
 The Bulldogs grabbed their only counter in the first Inning. Head went to base on balls, Drake got pretty three bagger, but failed to touch sec ond and was put out.
 The Crimsons kept up the steady and spectacular style of play that they have displayed ever since the Boston game. Bob Hinton performed creditably on the mound in his first game of the season. Gaston Brown was in the limelight throughout the game, exhib iting some wonderful fielding and also slugging out a spectacular two-bagger and home run. Hall also did splendid work at the bat. getting three hits out of four trips to the plates
 Pitts held down first in good style. The Bulldogs were weak in the field especially at short The game was called after Towards ei yhth inning in order that the team might catch their train Score:

The first annual invitation inter- scholastic track and field meet, which will be held at Munger field by the Birmingham Southern college the aft ernoon of April 23, promises to be one of the largest and fastest ever held in the state. The new track, which has been built around the Munger bowl, is practically completed, ahd will be in great form for the tourney. The col lege should be commended upon the manner in which they helped promote athletics in prep schools.
 Five local schools have already made known their intention of entering this quintet including Central, Ensley, Simpson, Bessemer and Jefferson County The Alliance Agricultural school which made such a remarkable showing in the state basketball tournament, has also entered. At pres ent, this is the only outside school in the list but more entries are expected daily Shades -Cahaba, the new mem Der which is showing up so well in the baseball league, is also expected to enter a team.
 The order of events, the prizes which will be awarded and the rules govern ing the meet follow;
 Order of Events-100-yard dash, one mile run, 440-yard dash, 120yard low hurdles Q5 yards to first hurdle, 10 yards between hurdles, 15 yards to finish); 220-yard dash, sSO-yard run. pole vault, discus throw, high jump, 12pound shot-put, running broad jump and SS0-yard relay -four men to team).

abilities of the presence among the American invaders of Davy Heron, Os- wald Kirby and Max Marton- Undoubt- ediy this would strengthen the team, but the general run of golfers are hanging their hopes upon Chick Evans. It would be well, however. to keep an eye upon Paul Hunter, who has been estab- fishing records in Pasadena.
 ABOUT THE PROS
 Now how about our professional team whose members will compete for the Brit ish open title at St Andrews, June 2e-21? Classifying the professionals as we have, the amateurs, it would seem, that if Barnes, Walter Hagen or Jock Hutchison cannot take the professional prize over there, it is unlikely that Brit ish supremacy will be disturbed. Leo Diegel and Brady of Detroit have plenty of packers, while Freddie Mcleod of Co., lumbia and Bob Mcdonald of Chicago have strong partisans who believe they

R0USH WANTS GOLD MINE
 FROM CINCINNATI CLUB

Cincinnati, O., April 9.--Demands of Eddie Roush outfielder for three- year contract at s2o.Ood a year. were turned down by the officials of the Cincinnati National league club. Man ager Pat Moran called Roush on the long distance telephone and asked him to come to Cincinnati from his home. oakland City, Ind. to talk matters over The invitation was declined.
 The Cincinnati club has my terms" he declared. They are final and I will not play ball this year for d cent less.''
 August Hermann, president of the club. announced later that the club would not meet Roush's terms. we have taken firm stand this year and VIII maintain it,' said MT. Herpann. We will start the. season with the fast young team that Manager Moran mas, brought up from the south and will probably continue with it through out the year."

 of Vandy's Victory

Nashville, April s.-(Special) )-vander- bilts track team had little trouble in disposng of Kentucky States thinly clad squad on Dudley field Saturday after noon, taking Il first places out of 15 events and piling up total of S7 points against their opponents
 Morrow was the individual star of the meet, making IS points for his team. He~was closely pressed by Clare, Ken lucky star, who totaled Is points by his efforts. Had it not been forsa bit ot hard luck on the part of the Kentucky man he would have been the individual Star but in the 220-yard low hurdles he stumbled. on the fifth hurdle and the race went to Morrow.

are the best bets Mcdonald because of his power and strength.
 The rest of the candidates are Kerri- gan, Mclean, French, Harry Hampton and Clarence Hackney. If Hackney had little tenacty, he would be danger ous opponent for any man under any conditions, but particularly when the wind is blowing. For Clarence not only hits the ball terrific swipe, but is so powerful and thick set that he can beat the wind through two days of hard go- ing The best thing all these amateur and professional contestants could dc would be to go to Atlantic City, play a couple of weeks and pray that some of the pleasant gales that often blow across the north field moors would be present.
 ANOTHER COMPLICATION
 Wind is not the only complication; British championship courses are of such character that the hole must be opened up for the approach shot. It is, not merely question of driving straight from the fairway And then another shot to the green. Strategic driving alone puts a man in position to get on the green.
 The writer followed Ouimet and Vardon in the year 1914 over the Prestwick course. In the first round Vardon did a 75 and Ouimet did an S6, and yet Oui- met was not playing bad golf He merely was not opening up the holes for himself, with the result that Vardon played to the left or the right as occa- sion required-thas making his ap- proach shot an easy one-Ouimet would find himself in a position where it re- quired a marvellous pitch over bunker on a green which slanted badly for him. It is easy to imagine the situation had the wind been strong.

 GIANTS HAVE EDGE
 Of the National league clubs, fam dom-Athat part of fandom. at least, which is not swayed by personal predi : lection or local pride-inclines to favor the Giants in the coming battle for the gonfalon at the same time they do not deny that by midsummer one or more rival clubs may not be making lot of trouble for the MtGraw out fit.
 If proof, additional to the announce ment that Carpenters forfeit money had been forwarded from the Morgan Harjes bank of Paris to the Central Trust company of New York, were needed to convince the sporting world that the French champion intends to fight Jack Dempsey on July 2, then T cable dispatch which Tex Rickard dis played at the Madison Square Garden today should meet such demand. It is rom Francois Descamps, Carpenters manager, requesting that Rickard look ever several training camp sites and report back to him as to the most fa- vorable location.
 GEORGES STARRING PARTNER

The writer had word rom Boston today that Joe Jeanette. the coffee-colored boxer, had been ap- preached with an offer for his services as Carpenters training partner Tex hfckard says he has already engaged the French heavyweight, Paul Journee, 10 come to America with Carpenter Journee is not at all a bad fighter. fact which he demonstrated when he put Burt Kenney away in one round in Paris recently.

and came in no instance near any of the established s. I. A. A. records.
 Perhaps the sensation of the meet was the distance running of the Vanderbilt men, Howell and Gentry. Both finished respectively first and second in min utes A seconds in the mile, and a few minutes later entered the two-mile run and finished in the same positions with 10 minutes 25 seconds as their time.
 The meet was the first of the year for both squads and much improvement is expected by the time of the S. l. A. A. meet in May. The trck was heavy Sat urday.

ANOTHER CHANGE MADE IN LINEUP
 OF MONDAY BOUT 5
Battling" Budd Substituted for Nance as Jack
 Brady'S Foe
By MARVIN M,C4RTBY

It's q we'll scrambled dish that Athle c club, officials are offering local boxing fans tomorrow night, but being wei done, should be an appetizer wort, sampling further. Yes the lineup has, been shifted again. but for the better this time. Battling" Budd Atlanta lightweight, has been secured to take Bill Nance's place on the double wind-up scheduled for tomorrow night
 Tommy Tompkins dropped around to the Boys club the other day to see how Bill Nance was coming along with his training. He found the slugging Bill feeling like anything but fighter, for he was cramped up with all sorts of aches. Enough" sternly decided Tommy when Nance made known his troubles. Me cheild, youll nevaire box at the B. A. C. on Monday night" So the invincble Tommy set out to find a suitable substitute, and happened on Budd twice conqherer of Freddie Boorde one of the best little lghtweights the Magic City has known
 BUDD IS READY
 Bubb has been conducting his usual busy campaign and B. A. c. officials are lucky to catch him at the time when he has an open date The Atlanta battler is in good shape and should prove%more than healthy chew for Jack Brady, whose foe Bill Nance was to have been. As it now looks, the following is the lineup of bouts for tomorrow night:
 Jack Brady, Bessemer vs. Battling" Budd Atlanta, 10 rounds at 135 pounds.
 Lou Gomez, B. A. C., vs. Tim O'Dowd, Atlanta, 10 rounds at l16 pounds.
 Eugene Honeycutt, B. A. C., vs. Horace Hooper, B. A. C., four rounds at llo pounds.
 Hollis Arnold, B. A. C.. vs. George liar well, B. A. C., four rounds at 1l5 pounds.
 It must be remembered that two whole days remain before these bouts begin, So local bugs should stand on their toes to catch a possible announcement of other changes in this already muchly shifted about lineup. Tommy Tomkpins insists that the change of Budd for Nance was absolutely the last. and it may be that the ''reprobate" is right after all
 SH! NOT so LOUD
 Tn addition to the Budd- Brady affair, the Gomez-O'Dowd mix-up is another example of the eternal Atlanta vs Bir- nngham. Tomorrow night might be called 1revenge" night, as local boys will have an opportunity to put it over Al lanta representatives.
 jinx seems to hold sway over Cracker City mtt artists invading Birmingham, for on only few occasions have these athletes been /able to come over toy Bir- mingham and carry off honors.
 %Battling Bill' Bailey was defeated by Sailor Dixon in 10 rounds.
 Battling Budd, in his third meeting with Boorde was licked by Freddie in b rounds. Previously Budd had twice defeated Boorde.
 Larry Avera won one and lost one bout with Dummy" Harrington in Birming- ham,
 So if sems that Atlanta boxers can't have much luck when scrapping in the Magic City
 Tomorrow nights bouts begin at S;30 o'clock, with Jack Parry refereeing, and George Walters and Karl Langrebe act ing as judges 19a3 v
