Organized Baseball Plans Fight Against
 Throwing of Games

Chicago February 5.--Organized base ball plans to fight gambling and game throwing through the various state legis- latures. it became known tonight after the new advisory council which now is the governing body of the game had held it's first Ipeeting with Judge K. M. Lar dis as chairman.
 Gambling was one of the first matters taken up after Judge I4andis had called his council to order. Plans for active fights in all the baseball parks were discussed, but the recent decision on the Pacific coast where a judge held that game throwing was not a criminal of fei.se, presented a problem which the council decided could be solved, only by the passage in every state of laws so drastic that gamblers would be afraid to tamper with players.
 Ohio will be the first state where an active campaign for anti-gambling and game throwing law will be made
 President Garry Hermann, of the Cin- cinrati club was asked by the council to go to Columbus and do everything in his power to bring about passage of the bill now pending. Missouri. New York, Texas and other states now have slnilar bills before their law-making bodies and it was indicated that organized baseball would urge passage of these bills. State lesislatures which have not received bills of this nature will be asked to take them up and the matter also probably will be brought to the attention of Congress.

 A wonderful display of nerve, the one outstanding event of the race, was the remarkable heroism displayed by Frank Prosch, an Alabama man, who, over come by the heat, was unable to 1lnlsh the race in a run, and actually dragged himself across the tape.
 In so doing he performed what many haves termed the greatest bit or sheer nerve ever put forth in any athletic event in the south.

PANTHER QUINTET MEETS OLD RIVALS
 AT BAG. THURSDAY
First of Three-Game Series Between Local Teams to Be
 Staged This Week

At the Birmingham Athletic club Thursday afternoon the basketball followers of Birmingham will have one Of the best treats of the season when the Bulldogs and the Partners get to- gether in their first cage scrap. The game is certain to be a good one, for these two we'll known rivals always put up close and exciting battle, no matter what the odds are. Both quintets are priming themselves for the contest and are expected to be in the best of trim when the opening whistle sounds. Howard won two straight victories from their rivals last season and the Sunshine Slope lads are out for blood to avenge the defeat. In 1919 Howard was also vic tor in the football encounter and, al- together, it was a Howard year, but this 1920-21 season Birmingham South ern have won the football contest. They consider it good omen and ex- pect to cop all the honors from the East Lakers.
 Both lives have played an exten- sive schedule and have gone up against plenty of opposition and have plenty of practice The Bulldog lineup will probably be as follows:
 Robinson and Webb or Wright, for wards; Mccullough, center; Capt. AL ford and Gaylors, guards
 The Panthers will more than likely start the following:
 Captain Griffin and Norton, for wards; Candy or Propst, center; Saf- farans and Lewis, guards.
 Propst, the Panther pivot man who has been out of the game since early in the season, mays be back in time to play. His return would materially stYengthen the Rirrnip p h a m -cortb arr delegation. Either Webb or Wright will start the contest at forward for Howard, the odds favoring the for mer
