WASHINGTON. March 1.-THE
cost of bread, meat and coal and
other necessities to every American
consumer may be directly influenced
by the outcome of a struggle be-
tween the so called standpat and
progressive wings of the republican
party in full swing today in the SEN
ate
1t is a clash Of ideas and princi-
pies. the issues in which are:
Whether corporations dealing in
the necessar ies of life shall be class
ed as public service corporations
and as such he subjected to such
federal regulation.
Whether the ideas Of government
championed by the progressives or
those of the standpatters shall be
esta blished as the policies Of the new
congress
If the wing headed by Lodge.
SmOot and Penrose win. there will
be no packer control bin. no regula-
ton Of the coal business as provided
in the Calder bill. no curbing Of
gambling as proposed by Sen. Cap
per. Kansas, no replacing Of the un-
constitutional statute against profit
eering, the prOgressives declared.
Standpat leaders take as their
text Pres't Hardings campaign dec
laration for less government in

BASEBALL MOGULS
 MUST OBSERVE THE RULES, HEYDLER

Chicago, January 2.-Ignorance of the Kew rules which will govern organized baseball under the regime of Judge Lan- dis as baseball commissioner will not be accepted as an excuse for their viola ton by players. club owners and league officials. said President Heydler today.
 In order that the public and every one connected with baseball may be informed of the conditions under which baseball will enter the new era, Mir. Heydler is having published pamphlet containing every agreement and contract entered into between owners or leagues at any of the various meetings this winter. This book will contain copies of the new form of players contract, the contract with Judge Landis, the major-minor agree ment and numerous other documents.
 Copies will be sent to every player and owner, to all newspapers and to anyone else who asks for one, MT. Heydler said.
 While the newspaper accounts gen. orally have informed the public of the new governing rules, we want everyone interested to have copy of the impor- tant agreements to study and to refer to-" said MT. Heydler.

Tigerettes Claw Up Pantherine Clan of
 Co-eds; Win Easily

The terrible Tigresses tramped tri- umphantly through Birrningham's best evy of basketballers and copped the coed contest staged last night at the local Y. M. c. A. by as24 to score. The Pantherines didn't have show against their heavier and more experienced op- ponents. This battle was novelty to the Birmingham sport lovers and was enjoyed immensely by a good sized crowd. The Auburn girls showed great form at passing the pill and exhibited good shooting ability. The Birming- ham Co-eds showed flashes of form, but did not seem to get together well. After the Auburnites got started 1t would have taken a tank to stop their onslaught.
 Margaret Brown for the visitors has mean eye for the basket, and is a sure point-getter. She scored almost half of her teams points. Annie Creei, at center, jumped well and shot a goal at every opportunity. Ruby Smith, at guard, ran the court well and defended her goal with untiring vigilance. Every member on the team shot at least one goal ard played very fast ball. This aggregation worked the five-woman defensive like a clock and never lS. the Sunshiners from the Slopes get near the basket.
 Thelma Stacy was the shining light for the Birmingham Southern delega- tion. scoring almost all their points. She ran the floor in fine style and had ceaseless energy. Elizabeth Hankey was the only other point-scorer for the locals. The Auburn guards were too much for their younger sisters and had the ball in their possession the majority of the contest The Birming- ham Southern girls are going to put in some extra licks at practice and attempt to wipe out this defeat later on in the season. This is the first official contest that the locals had engaged in, while the Auburn damsels have played in several successful en- counters.
 The game was played under boys rules and was clean and hard fought. The refereeing of Coach Abel of the Y M. c. A. was of excellent calibre, show ing great sagacity in his handling of the game.
 The lineups and summary follow:
 Auburn (25)-Margaret Brown (12) and Gladys Coplon CD, forwards; Annie Creel t6), center; Otis Zuber GA and Ruby Smith. guards.
 Birmingham-Sout (9)-Thelma Stacy CD and Ann La Page, forwards; Cecille Green, center; Elizabeth Han key (2) and Annie Lee Warren, guards.

EARLY PROSPECTS OF THE
 BARONS BRIGHT ENOUGH

At this early writing the prospects Tor the 1921 Barons seem as bright as those of any southern league club A good start has been made towards re- building the infield in securing Taylor and Gardner, while Bernsen and Stewart. 1920 infielders, return this year. Allen and Silva are sure of out field berths. Whether the old trouble of securing first-class rightfiel lder can be avoided this season or not re- mains to be seen. There are at least two good prospects in Pennington and iBledgen, while a satisfactory out fielder may be developed from the three Alabama boys signed up by the sRarons.
 The catching department will be ably taken care of by the return
 of Bobby Gooch. who played such
 5aln-up game ns backstOp last
 season. For second string honors
 Robinson. kress and one or two Z others will try out.
 The pitching staff will. perhaps he Sone of the hardest problems that sMolesworth will have to solve True Coffindaffer, Gallagher, Meeker and Phil.

Two good prospects are Sol Newton, secured from Baltimore, and Earl whitehin, a &little lefthander farmed out to the eSouth Atlantic league last season
