Though In folly and In blindness

Tho Southside boys had many more shots than their opponents but did not cash in many of them. Their passowrk was much better han Simpsons. and they worked an out-of- bound play several times with McfIen- ry putting on the finishing touches with good shoot for the netting.
 sem was the only one of the ;deth- odists that showed an eye for the bas- ket, but he was covered all the time. Others on his team failed to shoot many easy ones The guarding of the Baptists was up to standard, and the work of McHenry at center was good ne was off little when it came to shooting. Ware and Perry worked well together at the forward positions.
 The contest being only one of the practice variety, Coach Reynolds put in several of his subs. Interchurch VIII play a return game with the Boys club In. the next few days. They will meet the Employed Boys Brotherhood of the Y. M. c. A. next week.

CLUBBERS DEFEAT
 ALABAMA QUINTET
 BY 37 TO " SCORE
Crimsons Passed We'll, But Couldn't Shoot Under
 heath the Baskets

In their last game of the season. the E. A. c. basketeers accomplished what they have been working towards, ever since soon after the opening of the sea- son, and that is the defeat of the Crim- son cagesters of University of Alabama. With a r to 12 defeat at the hands of these latter gentlemen hanging over them, the Clubbers have worked untir- ingly to condition themselves for last nights game, and that they accomplished their purpose is proven by the S7 to II score in their favor, the result of the game at the B. A. C. last night
 Coach Bernier's men put up good fight, but they could not stack up against the classy Clubbers. Hutselrs men had it over the Crimsons in several ways last night, but the chief advan- fage possessed ,by Hutselrs men was their ability to ring up goals, while Ala bama didn't seem to have but one man On the team who could shoot with any degree of accuracy, and that man was McGauley. forward, who played splen- did game for his Alma Mater.
 CRIMSONS PASSED WELL
 Alabama passed we'll but when the ball was worked down under the basket the try for goal was missed. In the sec- end half the Crimsons had the ball the majority of the time but they resorted to long distance shooting, which marred their team work and prevented their scoring more than seven points in this period The first half ended 20 to 10 in favor of the Clubbers
 The Clubbers displayed some good teamwork, as we'll as accuracy in shoot ing. Again did Hutselps scoring trio Floyd, Chisholm and Bryan-come to the fore and do the majority of the tallying, in fact scoring every one of the Cluh- bers' points except ?, field goal rung up by Smith.
 FLOYD WAS OFF
 Floyd seemed a little off on his shoot ing under the basket, but his long dis tance shooting was excellent He tallied five field goals. Bryan shot one straight in from past the center of the court, making six field goals in all Chisholm vas high scorer for the night, with three field goals and seven foul goals total of 13 points.
 McGauley proved to be all that has been said of him, namely, first class little forward. He scored Il points of Alabama's 1T. He shot seven straight foul goals but missed the next three, making it seven out of 10 for the eve ning's work in this department of the game.
 ! Iaughlinhouse and Smith played their usual good games at guard Doc Laughlinhouse surprised everyone by att tempting couple of field goals He nearly made them, too, hard luck keep ing the ball out once.

BARTON ACADEMY SURE, TO RE A CONTENDER

Central High school, which is con- sidered sby many to have one of the best chances to cop the high school basketball championship in the first annual tournament, which commences at the Birmingham Athletic club to- morrow morning, will probably meet much opposition in Barton Academy of Mobile, the latest entry in the big event.
 Barton Academy has been famous for it's basketball teams for several years now and the entrance of this school in the tournament will probably cause some dopesters to change the direction of their glances in picking the winner of the meet. The Mobile schcool has a cracker jack team this year and is sure to finish up near the top.
 The Athletic club has turned over it's gym to the teams entered in the tourney this week and almost every day one or more high school quintets has been working out on this floor. This action of the Birmingham Ath- letic club has been a great help to some of the state teams, which have been accustomed to outdoor courts and have, consequently, welcomed the op- portunity to wrkout on an indoor court.
 SeHtrdl hFSn ScnOoIS 1dSt team naS been finishing off training for the meet this week and will be in prime shape for its first game Thursday. The Magic City has an able force of rep resentatives in Central, Ensley,, Simp- son and probably Jefferson county. BIG GAME OF YEAR
 AT Y. M. c. A. TONIGHT
 The biggest game of the city league season will be played at the Young Mems Christian association tonight. when the Central "Y" meets Sloss- Sheffield in what may mean the de- cisive game in the champion shi D fight. Sloss-Sheffield is now in the lead by the margin of one game. A victory for the "Y" tonight would bring about a tie and necessitate a piay-off at some later date, while | victory for Sloss- Sheffield would cinch the championship for this team.
 very large crowd is expected to turn out to witness the game tonight, as interest in the city league this sea- son has been great and the champion snip game has aroused something akln to excitement among local bugs.

TWENTY TWO QLlLNTETS VOW ENTERED M THE STATE CAGE TOURNEY

the visiting players, and they should be considered as our guests and receive warm welcome at every hand.
 The drawing for the opponents and the order of playing will be held this morning at the club. No team will have to play twice on either the opening or the closing days, but several will have to en- gage in a duo of battles Friday, which is the middle day. Two games will in all probability be played Thursday morning. but it is not very likely that any other morning settos will be participated in. The admission will be two bits" for students and a half of dollar for outsiders, with every one allowed to remain as long as he wants, but there will be no pass-out checks.
 Ozark High school telephoned in it's entry late yesterday afternoon by long distance, being the twenty-sec- ono team to enter the tourney. Not much is known locally of this aggre- gation. but the outlook is for a good representation from that part of the, state. This team is said to have en- joyed very successful season so far and is hoping to end it with good showing in the meet

Yale Track Men to
 Train In Nashville

Nashville February 22-(Special) )-The Yale track team. % strong. will put on it's spring training campaign here on Dudley field for 10 days beginning March 20. and will complete it's period of train- ing and visit here by meeting Vanderbilt in dual meet on April 2. the entire pro- ceeds of which will go to the Bulldogs to help defray the expenses of their training trip here.
 The Yale boys will be the guests or the Vanderbilt Athletic association and will be given the use of the dormitories, gymnasium and athletic field
 This is the first time Yale track team has trained here and it is considered fit- ting that the Bulldog runners should make this training ground every season. since one of the greatest Yale athletes of all time, the late Johnny Overton, was native son of Nashville. Johnny was captain of the Yale track and cross-country teams before he entered the marine corps. He held all sorts Of mile records, both indoor and outdoor, and at the time of his death in the second battle of the Marne in 1918 he held the worlds record for the mile.

LANDS GIVES HIS FIRST DECISION AS HEAD OF BASEBALL

Chicago, February 22-Judge Kene- saw NJ. Landis rendered his first de- cision as commissioner of. the advisory council of baseball today when he de-
 clared that Phil Todt. pitcher and first
 baseman, was free agent when he
 signed a contract with the St. Louis
 American league club.
 The St. Louis Nationals had claimed Todts services, and the Sherman club. of the Western association and ths
 Houston club were named as parties to the decision,
 The case was pending before the
 national commission since March, 1920.
 The player, when 16 years old, had
 signed with the St. Louis Nationals
 and was later sent to Sherman and
 then to Houston, but he refused to
 sign a contract with either club.

With the entry of Barton acad- emy from Mobile, Greenville High school, Maubry High and Tusca- loosa High, the enrolment in the state cage meet has been raised to 2 teams. and there isn't any doubt but what today's mail will reveal several more applicants. The 22 now counted are officially entered and paid up with their list of players in the hands of the pro- motors. The welcome that the meet has received all over the state has more than achieved the fondest hopes that the sponsors held out for it.
 REPRESENTATIVE CROWD
 The arrival of Barton academy into the fold has been expected for some time, and, with Mobile repre- sented and the addition of the Greenville and Marbu1y aggrega- tions, has completed the list of cities that were most desired and represent the cream of all sections of the state. Many of these regis trations were telephoned and tele- graphed to the B. A. c. Tuesday night, which was set as the clos ing date for entries, but, as yes- terday was a holiday, allowance is made for those who will be heard from today. Several new entries are expected, and it would not be surprising if there were 25 com petitors all told.
 This will probably be the largest and best managed prep athletic meet ever held in the south, and every one in the city should take advantage of their opportunities and witness all of the tourney possible
 200 ENTRIES PROBABLE
 With the entrance of quarter of a hundred quintets, the total number of players registered would count up to an even 200. not including the numerous coaches and followers of the visi- tors. Birmingham and the local schools now have the opportunity to make a lasting impression on

STRANGLER LEWIS
 WILL BE ALLOWED USE OF HEADLOCK
Champion to Use Favorite Hold Against PauIiska Here
 Monday Night

If Jack Pauliska is to meet Ed Lewis here next Monday, he must allow the "Strangler' the use of the headlock. Words to that effect were spoken by Wilbur H. Hutsell, athletic director of the Birmingham Athletic club, who has charge of the promotion of the match.
 Pauliska was secured by c. W. Streit, president of the Birmingham Athletic club, as the best man availa- ble to test the mettle of the champion, Ed Lewis in bout here next Mon day. Pauliska agreed to the match, but stated that he was unwilling to enter the ring with Lewis without the headlock being barred. Considerable argument has been written in by Jack. but Hutsell has passed final decision that Lewis will be allowed to use his headlock, which means that local fans will have an opportunity to witness a hold which won a championship, for it is a safe bet that Eddie will put his favorite hold in action az a n g t Pauliska.
 Considerable opposition to this hold has been displayed by fans of north ern cities, where Lewis has been wrestling since winning the title. However, the general opinion of Bir- mingham fans, as the writer has found it, iJ that as Lewis perfected this hold and won championship with it, he should be allowed to use it.
 The two big fellows will weigh in around 220 pounds Monday night. An all-star preliminary card will be ar rang ed by Hutsell and Tommy Tompkins 1t was announced.
