NO-HIT GAME FOR
FINLEY, OF HIGH
Americas Trims Buena
Vista Here In Fast
Double-Header

A no-hit game of seven innings
was pitched by Finley, Americas
High School hurler, in pretty
game at the Playground Thursday
afternoon between the Americas
and the Buena Vista High School
teams. 1t was the first of double
header, both games of which Ameri-
Gus won, the first by a score Of 81
and the second Ga. The teams were
composed strictly of high school lads,
with two exceptions, town players
beng used to fill two gaps in the
Americas lineup.
Both games were pretty spectacles
of baseball, the first particularly,
and were unusually clean and fast
for young players. In the first
game Finley struck out ii batters
out of rs who faced him. Boyett,
captain and pitcher for the visitors,
also pitched well, striking out eight
men and allowing only two hits

Style Dangerous.
Couple Dempsey'S tWo-handed
fighting style with his opponents in
ability to dope his intentions and you
have got mighty dangerous COM
bination. For a shift from left to
right hand gives Dempsey a big adj
vantage. Few Of the classy fighters
can fight other than with their left
hand. A right-handed man is awk-
ward for them to handle-and to hit.
And Dempsey's ability to make the
shift at will gives him this advan-
tage at any time during fight that
he cares to take it.
Knockout Brown was a right
handed fighter, and his string of
kayoes testifies to what | mean.
George CLANCY, whom | fought
at Cedar Point and X. o. Mars, whom

kind of boxers-the most danger

The value Of Dempsey's surprise
style of fighting is shown by the
fact that even before he put Viii

out 20 men in the first round and
had dozen other knockouts to his
credit.
Willard. on paper, should have
won the Toledo affair. But he was
puzzled by Dempsey's style, just as
every other boxer is puzzled in try
ing to dope the man who doesn't
stick to the usual methods.
Thus Dempsey won his title by
freak fighting.

JONNY KBANE CALLS JACK and GEORGES FIGHTING FREAKS
WEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD

hE Dempsey-C Carpenter fight
at Jersey City July 2 will be
battle between fighting freaks"
But these freaks are Respectively
the ruggedest and cleverest in the
world. This will make It bout the
like of which has never before been
seen in championship go.
It'll be weight and strength
against brains and speed, with
science in the discard.
The fight won't be as picturesque
d as the heavy battles of the past.
don't mean by that it won't be an
interesting fight for the fans; it'll be
packed with punches! To me it will
be OF more interest than any heavy
weight belt battle of recent years.
Always Set.
Every American heavy who has
COPIED the title since the DAYS of
John l.. Sullivan has fought accord
ing to Hoyle." By that | mean that
his offensive tactics were those that
other boxers used.
Every variety of wallop that the
heavyweight sent over was from
certain position. To get set for
waliop he had to jockey himself in
. to position.
His opponent could guess. to
large degree, what was coming in
time to cover. Surprise didn't figure
very strongly. Rather it was neces-
sary first to weaken and break down
the opponents defense before the
kayo wallop could be slipped over.
Corbet, Bob Fitzsimmons and the
others who in turn won the heavy
weight title were all this type of
fighter, who stood in position and
snapped blow for blow.
Then along came Jack Dempsey,
with ring tactics all his own.
Awkard and unscientific, but
with a world of power an stamina,
Dempsey was interested only in get
ting close enough to an opponent to
land the haymaker that would chalk
up another kayo,
Ring strategy went by the boards.
Dempsey paid no attention to prece-
dent. He started his punches from
any and all positions, shooting them
over IN this way at times when his
openent least expected them. He

 Paraphrasing the statement made in France when the gfrst million American troops wer brigaded with the allies. Rev. Carpenter changed th, wording of "a million Sir Gala hads gone ferth to war" to "a mii- lion Sir Galahads gone forth to peace"
 Clubs such as yours perpetuate inc lofty ideals brought out during the war" he told the Civitans.
 It is not the vast amount of money involved through national and inter- national debts of the grat powers which should be the factors in dis- armament. hut the inevitable inter national fellowship that will make war impossible, that is the most nm . portant phase of steps toward iast- ing peace. he told the club members.

WOULD RETURN ID
 ALDERMAN|C FORM
Bivings Applauds Walter Moore for Recent Sugges-
 ton on Subject

Walter Moore's observations set forth In The Age Herald the other day in regard to our present system of city government are worthy of deep consideration by every tax payer and voter of Birmingham" said F. l.. Bivings of the Roden Grocery company, and I for one fully indorse the position he takes and will gladly join in any effort for relief from the burden of commission form of gov ernment, a system not truly repre- sentative of the people and so ter ribly expensive to the taxpayers.
 Like MT. Moore l am impressed with the thought that this is the most oportune time to sound the alarm that our people may stop, look, listen and ask, 'Whither are we drift ingg As against the old aldermanic system which was representative of each and every section of the city, we now have a paid commission of five who draw aggregate salaries of S26.000, with 10 or more clerks on the pay roll, as against one salaried mayor as of old.
 And even now this commission of five is calling for help in conducting the affairs of the city, asking the aid and advice of labor unions, civic associations, clubs. etc. in the con- duct of city government. Had we representative board. all the mem- bership of these organizations and all citizens who are not members thereof would have full representa- ton in the governing body, and could and would speak and act in behalf of their constituents in every ward or section of the city.
 "City government should be an open bok because officeholders are servants and not masters of the peo- pie, and it is the peoples business in which they are engaged. That of- fcial who arrogates to himself mas tership over the people rather than official servitude is not a represen- tative of the electorate, and will sooner or later fall before the indig- nation and scorn of the electorate.
 "Gven a truly representative body of all the people in each section of the city. who feel and appreciate the responsibility which rests upon them, and you have body which needs not the advice of outside organizations.
 "As Mir Moore says. let us turn our thoughts to the work of abrogating and plotting out the expensive mock cry of commission form of govern ment, and through the next legisia- ture of Alabama resume that form which is representative of all the people in each and every section oi Birmingham"

 Sentries stationed upon both sides of still. which was later captured and destroyed. opened fire when the inspectors came into sight. This gave warning to the men who were sta toned at the still, who fled to thick underbrush and opened fire upon the agents. 1t is said

COAL RETAILERS
 HAVE b|G STOCKS
Weather and Wagon Mines Operate Against Sea-
 Sonal Business

Retail coal dealers find themselves with large stocks of coal on hand and warm weather and wagon mine delivery acting against a seasonal ccal movement from yards. j Coal operators, when approached on the matter of reducing price to re- tailers, have pointed out the scale of wages maintaining until the end of next March
 The only manner in which coal op- orators could relieve the local re- taller, it is understood. would be through rebate. If this were done here, it would have to be done on the several hundred thousand tons of coal sold in other states to retailers. Operators say they could not afford to do that.
 The net result is that retail yards will get no rebate and the coal on their yards. must be sold on the base of what has been paid for it.
 Wagon Mines Hurt
 One prominent retail dealer admits the inroads of the wagon mines this fall They have hurt us a great deal" he said. We could not help ourselves this year, but if prices are not lower next spring. retail yards vii be mighty slow In taking on stocks"
 Asked as to prices now charged for retail coal. two prominent retail CTS said they were the same as last spring. They had not made the GUS tomary fall advances, although they paid the fall advances at the mines as per contracts.
 
 Some dealers have as much as 5,00t , to 5000 tons on their yards. Prices range from $7 to $10.25.
