PEEL CONTRACT JUMPERS
 TRYING TO GET BACK

New Orleans, January 23.-Some of the Pelicans' stray sheep are trying to get Lack into the fold for next sea son. Tim Murchison and Joe Brad shaw, both contract jumpers in 1920, have written to President Heinemann in the same strain-"as the ball season is just about here I will thank you to advise me just who belong to, or is it I am free agent" writes Brad shaw Will you please advise me as to who I belong to, and if am sus- pended for five years or not" writes Murchison.
 Tim. the big pitcher. evidently has some doubts as to his ability to return to organized ball, and very probably his doubts are well founded.
 T don't see chance for these fell lows to get back in,'' said President Heinemann. Contract jumpers are al- most as surely out for good, or for a long period. as players who. threw games. and the latter will never play in organized ball again.
 'Murchison left our club last sea- son in the thick of the race and his de- parture probably caused us to lose the pennant. I tried to talk him out of it, but he saw a chance to make lit tie more for temporary period in Mississippi. I don't know how much chance these fellows have of doing well in the independent leagues this year as they did last. but I believe that it is very slim. I fear that they are in for a long siege of remorse. It is too bad. for some of them were pretty good fellows--they simply didn't know who their friends were.''
 Ray Neusel. who jumped the Pels at the same time Murchison did, tried to get back soon after he left. He hasn't succeeded yet.

ANDAL LUSIA LOSES TO
 TROY IN HARD GAME

Andalusia, January Especial The Andalusia basketball team went down m defeat before the fast quintet represent ing the Troy High school on the Anda- iusia court Friday afternoon. The game was closely contested throughout and was hard fought on both sides. The first half ended with the score to 1 in Troys favor and the final score was IA to B. The local team missed any number of easy shots, having more chances at the goal than did Troy The visitors made their shots count and their pass work was good. using short passes, and many times would take the ball from under Andalusia's goal down the court for 8 waiting forward to shoot goal for them. The pass work of the Andalusia five was considerably off form. their passes be- ing into the hands of an opposing player many times Troy made a large num- ber of the free throws count, both sides fouling great deal.

JUNIOR FATHERS
 MISS ENGLEBERT

The Simpsontes are somewhat dis appointed in the showing made by their basketeers on Saturday, when they tasted defeat for the first time this year at the hands of the Colum- Diana quintet
 Simpson has been planning for great year from basketball stand point and this defeat in the first pig game of the year was a hard dose to swallow
 However. it must be remembered that Englebert, the Junior Panther star forward, was out of the fracas Satur- day night With Englebert on the scoring end the story might have been very different indeed
 It seems probable that Englebert will be on the hospital list the balance of the cage season, as he is laid up with a severe attack of flu"
 Simpson goes up against the Cen tral clan in the near future, and the story is expected to be altogether diff ferent when the smoke clears up after that encounter.
 The Junior Partners are planning to make an extensive trip through the southern part of the state some time in February, and Coach George Rey- holds is expecting big things from his clan of basket tossers on that trip. The Simpsonites are certainly ror- tunate in having Self one of the best guards for his weight that can be found in the state. Newton on the pivot, Lee, Englebert and Tucker for wards with Self and either Wheeler or Thomas holding down the other positions, comprise a quintet that will stack up with any in the state

GAMES QUEEREST PLAY.
 PLAYER STOLE FIRST

The queerest play known to baseball was pulled off by Harry Davis, the first sscker of the Philadelphia Athletics. You have often seen a player steal second base, but think of fellow stealing first base; yet that is what Davis did, and here is how he did it;
 Dave Fultz, the crack base runner Of the American league. was on third base and Davis on first.
 With the motion of the pitchers arm Davis started for second, attempting to draw throw from the catcher so that F'ultz could score. The catcher, however refused to try for Davis and he was given credit for stolen base
 On the next ball Davis started back towards first base. and the catcher lost his head, thinking that Davis thought there were three out and snapped the ball down to first base in rapid style.
 With the motion of the catcher's arm, Fultz. who was watching the play from third base, at once hit out for home, and the first sacker. seeing Dave headed for the plate made no attempt to tag Davis. but returned the throw in order to catch Fultz. But the throw was too late to catch Fultz and Davis rested on first once more. This is the only time known to the game that a player has stolen first

SIGN
 INDIAN CATCHER

Little Rock, Ark. January 2S.-(Spec- ial.,-President R. G. Allen of the Little Rock Travellers was unable to buy any ball players on the Chicago market, go he quit the place where they sell play CTS and slipped over into Oklahoma, where they raise 'em, and yesterday an nounced in triumph that he has made terms with another heap big Injun-one Harry Coons, a copper-skinned catcher, a college boy and once Moses Yellow Horses battery mate.
 Proxy Allen and Coons came to terms via the telegraph wires which connect Little Rock with Wichita, Kans. Harry is a student at Fairmont college, To- cated in the Kansas town. He also is a member of what is left of the once mighty Pawnee tribe, the branch of the Indian family which produced Yellow Horse Nose advised the signing of Coons, whom he described as a big fel- low with a strong arm and keen bat ting eve. Nose says Harry Will make good in the Southern association and will hit close to 300 his first year. If Harry. represents the tribe as well next summer as Nose did last year Kid El- berfeld probably will attempt to sign up all the Pawnees in Oklahoma for his 1922 outfit.
 While in Chicago, Proxy Allen dis cussed plans for the future Of Yellow Horse with Barney Dreyfus, president of the Pittsburg club, which now owns the Indian and learned that Nose will be given a real chance to make good with the Pirates If Nose shows anything at all it is probable that the Pittsburg Mo- guls will hold him. for the only Indian in the major leagues ought to be pretty good drawing card. Nose should easily pay for himself at the gate.

D PREPARES FOR BIC MATCH T.
WITH THE SCRIBES OF OTHER CITIES
KILBANE IS ONLY
 THINKING OF FIGHiING

John Patrick Kilbane. featherweight champion, is still thinking about risking his title in a decision bout in New York, but Jawn thinks slowly sometimes. He left town saying that he would see Tex Rickard about signing up with somebody later on after he had felt himself out in a few no-decision bouts with some of the guinea pigs of the featherweight division.
 John Patrick is beginning to look like a gent pretty well on in years for one who follows the fistic art. The silver is beginning to show in his hair, and there are plenty of wrinkles in lawns coun- tenance. And lawn knows that he is not so young as he used to be, and that if he does return to the ring he is likely to encounter some youngster with a kick. It is not pleasant to contemplate.
 lawn was very interested spectator when Andy Chaney, who offered thous- and dollars reward for anybody who would toss Kilbane into the ring with him, fought Charley Beecher. lawn ap- plauded both vociferously, but at the same time he was pondering over the situation in general. The result of his cogitations was that he would not box yet a while.
 The passing of Kilbane is due-overdue perhaps. But the bout that will bring it about ought to be worth watching. for Kilbane is one of the cleverest that ever fought in the class where Abe Attell once reigned. Of course lawn does not have to return to the ring at all, as far as the money is concerned. lawn has saved his pennies as well as his health. But what happens to all of them will happen to lawn. He will reach the conclusion that he is still the Kilbane of some years ago, and will take on a soft one.' He will regret this afterward through the mists when the referee is counting over him.-New York Tribune.

DONNA HAS A FEW
 WORDS IN FAVOR
 OF HIS TOWNSNAN

Birmingham boxing fans will perhaps witness one of the closest and best matches of the year, when Freddie Boorde meets Young McGovern here Thursday night. The fact that these two boys have fought twice before, each time a draw decision being re- turned, is evidence of how evenly matched they are
 Boorde has been continuing his tac- tics of always being in trim for fight, and today he is as fit to fight as he has ever been.
 Tommy Tompkins boxing instructor of the Birmingham Athletic club has been keeping Boorde hard at work and the local lightweight is in trim for any battle that he might have.
 Ashton Donza, who fought Deuette Alfred here last Thursday night had a few words to say about Young McGov- ern. He said:
 "McIovern is one of the greatest nat ural fighters I have ever seen, but up until a short time ago he had one fault that stood in his way He didn't care much for boxing sticking to the game only because his manager told him to.
 Young McGovern can hit tremen- dous lick He can also box. When he feels in the mood, he can lick anyone within 20 pounds of his weight But he has been handicapped by a lack of in- terest in the game.
 Down in New Orleans they say that McGovern has at last taken an interest in the game, and that he is really working hard nowadays If this is true, Freddie Boorde had better look out, for his opponent is liable to get him Thursday night. McGovern and are old rivals and I know what he is capable of"
 If Ashton's statement can be relied upon, local bugs probably have a thrill ing match in store for them.
 Boorde will add few hours to his daily workout schedule, as he will need to be in his very best condition to meet McGovern.

Central High schools next asket- ball game is scheduled for Wednes- day afternoon, when the Crimsons clash with Simpson High school at the |B A. c. This game will commence at |3:30 o'clock in the afternoonr
 The Simpson Central game should be a good one. The Junior Panthers although they lost their opening game Saturday night. are nevertheless con- sidered strong. and are sure to give Coach Meyers Crimsons a hard bat> tie for the decision.
 The Central basketball team has en- Itered into very active playing sea son and, although Coach Meyers could not say definitely when, where and who the locals will play, he stated that "a first-rate schedule had been arranged, and that the Crimson boys would encounter plenty of oppo- sirion before the tournament which will likely be held at the B. A. c. the latter part of February. Coach Mey- |ers is elated over the showing that his bunch made in their first game, but |says that it is just the start, and thaA he expects lots of improvement be- fore the championship is decided.

Objects to Coast
 Teams Coming East

Captain Majors of the California football eleven, few days since sub mitted to an interview by Los An geles paper as to the advisability of a California team coming east next year.
 He objected to the plan for he thought California teams could not stand the cold weather and should they run into snowy day would be seriously handicapped.
 "Eastern teams can come to Cali fornia and play without hardships,' said he, but no western team could play successfully in the east late in football season."
 Majors further said Ohio was the best team his eleven had met this year. but that the team was made up of individual stars and lacked a1l- around squad work. He had praise for Stinchcomb and Workman.
 But the point of his statement that will not go unnoticed here is that teams can go to California unhandi- capped and California teams cannot come east. because of climatic condi- tions. Well. Well!

-UmpS Had voice-0nIy

When Harry Howell, one time sp1en did Brown pitcher, quit the game as an active participant, he tried his hand at umpiring and broke in on the Texas league circuit. Harry possessed an ex- cellent voice, one that was compared to that of the late Silk O'Iaughlin.
 In battle at Houston, Howell was behind the bat and announced the bat teries of the two teams brilliantly. His voice was -flutelike and created splendid impression
 The game started. and, according to the Houston catchers idea, Howell missed many of the balls and strikes Finally he could stand it no longer Turning his head half around and growang through the lattice work of his mask, he said:
 You can't get by on that voice alone, Harry; you've got to have an eye, too"

NO PITCHING FOR BABE RUTH, SAYS
 MILLER HUGGINS

Chicago. January 23.-(Special) )-As far as Miller Huggins is concerned, there won't be any more pitching for Babe Ruth, kingpin of the sluggers.
 Huggins set at rest the question as to whether Ruth will occasionally be used as a pitcher during the coming season. declaring positively that he will not. The Tanks have plenty of pitchers now and Ruth can do more good in the outfield.
 Huggins declared he was going to make a first baseman out of the Babe as soon as the opportunity presented itself. But he won't as long as Ppp and Meusel are on the job. 'The Babe would make an ideal first baseman, said Huggins '1Ie would be a real playing star. and besides, he would put lots of pepper Tn the game. He's an enthusiastic and hard worker In the outfeld this pep $ lost. for he is too far away for his chatter to count much. He is big and has great reach. He'd be ideal on the first sack That is where he will go from the outfield--not into the box. But don't know how soon we can make the shift"
 Bobby Roth can take Ruth's place in the outfield, if an infield berth can be found for the mighty Babe.

FIGURING SPEED OF BALL
 FROM HURLER TO CATCHER

The speed of ball from the pitcher to the catcher was taken by experts handling the Longine chronograph back in 1884. with the following re suits: Bob Emslie fnow Umpire Ems lie) hurled the ball that distance Tn two-fifths of second. Jimmy Gal win flashed it across in the same time and Hardie Henderson is credited with pushing one across in one-fifth o> a second
 Such speed merchants as "Grasshop- per Jim" Whitney and Charlie Sweeney would have topped that time. That ap- paratus would never register the speed of Rube Waddell or even Walter John sons second speed ball.

Three Consecutive No-Hit
 Games Hurled By Watson

Here is one that shouldn't be disputed because of it's gray whiskers. Watson, pitching for Zanesville in 1886, is credited with pitching three consecutive no-hit, no-run games against Steubenville, Leb- anon and Circleville-a wonderful achievement to pull off under any con- ditions or period.
 On the strength of this phenomenal performance Watson was signed by the Cincinnati club, but failed to impress the hard-necked fans of that city that he was wonder.
