Shibe Dies After Long Mness--Was
 s Years of Age

Philadelphia, January 14.-Benja- min F. Shibe, president of the Phila- delphia American Baseball club, died today.
 MT. Shibe, who was in his eighty third year, had been i'll for about two years. About a year ago he was in an automobile accident, receiving in juries from which he slowly recov- cred.
 Mir. Shibe's financial assistance made it possible for the American league to establish a club in Phila- delphia when it invaded National league territory in 1901. He owned, it is understood, 50 per cent of the clubs stock, some of which was transferred to members of his family. Connie Mack is the owner of the oth- CT 50 per cent.
 It was through MT. Shibe's aid that there was built here the first con crete baseball grandstand in the major leagues. He was the principal stockholder in the A. J. Reach com pany, manufacturers of the American and National league baseballs and other sporting paraphernalia.
 Mr. Shibe began to earn his living as a horse car driver. He had a knack for sewing up lot of yarn and making presentable baseball for boys on the lots and drifted into the business with his brother. The busi- ness prospered and in 1882 he became associated with A. ]. Reach, famous ball player in the '70s.
 Mir Shibe has been given credit for developing baseballs to their present standard. The idea of the cork center baseballs was attributed to him.

HARLE HALL BESTS JACOBUS LN FIRST MA TCH-SPORTS
HOWARD QUINTET MEETS B. A. (. FIVE WEDNESDAY, NIGHT
Both Teams Are Stronger This Year and Should
 Play Good Game
By MAXWELL ALLEN

The B. A. c. cage team will take on the Howard college five Tuesday night at the B. A C., and the Clubbers are hoping that they can do better against this quintet of collegians than they did against the last college team that they faced. The Clubbers looked good at times in the Tech game, but on the whole they showed lack of fight that has never been shown be- fore by any team representing the B. A, c.
 Bill Mapghon, one of last years regulars who scrubbed up until the Tech struggle. when lie Nstarted his first game of the years seems to be the same player of old, and he should make things interesting for the Bull dogs. Sill is not only good goal shooter but he is probably the fast est man on the team in running the floor. and ho is also a good guard. If Bill keeps on improving he should do some great playing before the season Is over, as he Is the hardest fighter on the local five.
 It looks like Gillie Chisholm will play center In the future, for that is where he started against Tech, and he played good brand of ball throughout the game. Gillie can get the tipoff on most of his opponents. and he is a good shot as well as being a good guard and passer.
 Doc Laughinghouse is one of the hardest fighting guards that the B. A. c. has ever had and if Doc can play up to what he has done in the past, he should make the Bulldog forwards have miserable time in shooting goals.
 Howard Lineup
 fN ko av-I efa 1F 1,a game 1t might be said that they also have some good players, and all of them are fighters. Pat Shores and Rowdy Crews are the two regular for wards of the Howard five, and it is hard to say just which one of them is the best. Both of them not only shoot well, but they are also good floor runners, ana with the guarding ability that they possess, there are not many forwards who have per formed in Birmingham this year who have these two boys outclassed.
 Stubbs will probably get the as- signment at center in the B. A. c. game. Stubbs plays the game fair and hard, and when it comes to navl- gating the floor there are very few men who can come up to his speed. Toby is also one of the best goal ringers on the Howard quintet.
 Jess Backey and Captain Afford are slated to do the work at guard for the Howardites, and the B. A. c. is sure to have worlds of trouble in get ting around these two guards. Both of them play fast game and do not confine their efforts to guarding, as they are both good goal shooters.
 The Howard five is probably the best that the Bulldogs have had In several years. and with the BA A. c. team in great shape the game should certainly be an exciting one. TAe game starts at SIS o'clock

ANNISTON HIGH BREAKS
 EVEN IN CAGE GAMES

Anniston, January J. Anniston High school and Calhoun County High split even on the double cage bill Friday night on the local court, the girls quintet of the former copping their game. 26 to 1s, and the boys losing to Oxford, IS to g.
 Both contests were interesting and hard fought despite the uneven score, the keen rivalry existing between the two schools spurring every player on until the last moment. The local girls had decidedly the best of the Oxford players during the closing half, but during the first half the score was kept close. The Oxford lads had the locals at their mercy during the en- tire scrap and the result was never in doubt after the first moments of play.
 A good bunch of rooters from both schools watched the contest and kept lip the cheering for their favorites, both when winning and losing. This is the second defeat administered by the local girls quineet to the Oxford young ladies this season. Another game will be played soon between the boys Quintets, when the locals are hoping to even up the count

WARRIOR FORCES CENTRAL FIVE TO
 LIMITM BATTLE
Visiting cagesters Hold Grim sons to 27 to 26 Score
 at B. A. C.

The Central High school basket ball team ran into another tough game yesterday, when they barely managed to nose out a 27 to 26 vic -ory over the fast Warrior five. The Crimsons played hard and put up e good game, but they were unable to set sood lead oil the visitors A. any time durlng the game, for wha, me Warrior team lacked Ill skil. .ney naue up tor in fight and speedl ne game was pl2yed at the b. A. G. The game started with the Csntrat i've somewhat crippled, owing to Tom Andsrson's absence from the nne-up. However, the local five sLarted off things tast. and with the W arrior team gong at top speed the battle was at fever heat within two or three minutes after the start Of the game.
 Along toward ths middle of the game the Warrior oftense, which was led by Creel and haley. got so strong that, despite his injured foot, rom Anderson was forced to go in ana help stop the rush of the Yis- ..oIs. With Anderson in the lineup, .he Central passers began to work letter. and when the final whistle blew the count was 27 to 26 in favor of the local crew.
 Byrd anu rom Anderson were th5 offensive stars for the local boys, with Byrd scoring 12 points for the Meyers five, while Anderson scored six. Anderson best work was in passing the ball and keeping tho team fighting. Holder also played < good game, doing a large part of ths defensive work of the local five and keeping the ball for his team on tho offensive.
 Greet and Kaley were the individ- ual stars for the visitors and their floor running and goal shooting was a source of much worry to the Gen. tral five throughout the whole game.

Carpenteir Regains a
 Bit of Lost Prestige
 By Win Over C. Cook

with split lips and he is all lined up for another battle of the century"
 Aside from Descamps' letters to Rickard, evidence that the Frencc knocker-out will shortly be on his way hitherward may be read in thc fact that Descamps has written to Manhasset, making inquiries IS to the possibility of taking lodgings in the Mathews farm house, where the Frenchman did his training for his fight with Dempsey.
 Tom May He Foxy
 Tommy Gibbons has not been seen or heard of since he failed to stow Bartley Madden away. Reports ot that fight have 1t that Bart went along pretty evenly with the Flash. In this connection story is going the rounds which may or may not be true. It has to do with Carpenters trip here. Word went out that the fewer men Gibbons knocked out be- tween now and the time set tor the Carpenter battle. the bigger the chance that the Frenchman would come over to fight.
 You see. with Gibbons putting them all away there was the chance that the French crowd might deem it wiser to rest on such laurels as they possessed and not a big chance of losing all before the educated fists of the St. Paul artist. And so the whisper went to Tommy to lay off Il little.
 It may all be true, and it may not. Anyway Tommy didn't make any great showing against New York's pride. It was after this that Tex Rickard began to hear more defi- niely from Descamps. Now with Cook out of the way, it looks like a cinch that the tawney- headed ligh: heavyweight champion will shortly set sail for these parts.
 Ambitious Plans
 If Carpenter meets and beats Gib- bons-which is no 2 to l bet-you cal paste in your hat that he will take another hack at Dempsey along about summer time. The talk is that this time he would demand a 22-foo; ring, and perhaps four-ounce gloves. In this case there are lot of dubs who would be willing to bet that Carpenter would outpoint the cham pion. As for the guilele~s public. there is no doubt it would pay big money for another Dempsey Carpen- tier bout

By SPARROW M'GANN Special Correspondent of The Age-Herald Copyright 1922, by line Age -Herald)

New York, January 14.-Private advices from London regarding the Carpentier-Cook mix-up give a clear line on the present form of the Frenchman. He never looked better, stronger or more confident in his life than when he stepped into the ring Thursday night and there was no time throughout the bout when the Australian fighter had A chance with him. Hafdly a spectator present did not know from the first half minute of the first round that Cook was going to hang around only until Carpentier found occasion to meas ure his opponent and send in the well known sock,
 Tex Rickard said today that he didn't have the slightest doubt that Carpentier, within a week or two, would set sail for this country to get himself in condition for the bout against Tommy Gibbons. The Eng fish have been badgering Carp to stay in Europe and meet Ted ("Kid') Lewis, but there are at least two good reasons why he probably will not do this little thing.
 Bigger Money Here
 First of all, there Is bigger money in the United States, much bigger. The money Rickard would pay Carp. in fact compared to any roll the London promoter could hand him, would stack up about the same as a dollar bill compared to a quart of kronen or peck of rubles. O course Carpenter and his side kick Deschamps, don't care any more for money than they did for teir right and left eyes.
 Secondly, this Lewis Bozo Is clever guy and tough, too. He might make a whole lot of trouble before Carp-beat him--and In that case the Frenchman's American drag wouldn't be big enough to fill one section of Madison Square Garden, no matter who fought.
 As the dope is now laid. everything is rigged for Carp's triumphhl re- entry into the land of wood alcohol. He has laid Cook low, has issued an other def to Jack Dempsey, thereby causing a lot of suffering among ex- pert fight fanciers, who are afflicted

SLOSS-SHEFFIELD IS LEADING CITY
 LEAGUE QUINTS
Three Games Will Be PIayed1 "Wednesday Night at the
 Y. M. C. A.
CITY LEAGUE STANDING

Basketball f1ng of Birmingham should be served some lively basket ball Wednesday night at the City league, as three fast games are scheduled on this weeks program. The following contests are scheduled
 North Birmingham vs. sloss- -shsf- field.
 Y. Nj. c. A. VI. woodlawn.
 Avondale Mills vs. Howard.
 Every one of these teams have been showing worlds of stuff in the games that they have played so far, and they should furnish some nifty battles.
 The North Birmingham five. which meets Sloss Sheffield in the first game, Is not being spotted a chance of beating the Sloss five by the wise boys, but just the same the North Siders have a fast team and are sure to give the champions a real battle Riddle and Fuqus are the mainstays of the North Birmingham team, ann both of them cannot only guard and rSn the floor well, but they are also good on the goal shooting end of the game. The whole Sloss team has looked real good this year, but Mont gomery and Whatley are still tho mainstays of the Sloss five, and to win North Birmingham will have the gigantic task of stopping these two.
 The Woodlawn-Y. M. c. A. fracas itself should be quite a game, as both of them are showing up well in the league this year and should be able to stage a nifty contest. litlburn and Ansley are the two boys who must be stopped if Woodlawn ex- poets to come out on the big end ot the game. IIilburn has been going at great speed this year.
 Howard and the Avondale Mills team will furnish the last game, and this one should be as good as the first two games. The Reserves have managed to win only one game so far. and they are going in the game Wednesday night anxious to begin a winning streak. The Avondale team is one of the best in the league and Is in fine shape, Howard will put their faith in Stevens and Griggs while the Millers will rely upon Whiteside, Harrel and Campbell to bring home the bacon
 With the above games on tap the fans should have some exciting en- tertainment Wednesday night.
