WoodIawn High Starts Its Baseball Work
 on Monday

Coaches James and Stillwell state that baseball practice begins Monday at the Woodlawn High school. Tho woodlawn team is expecting to land a winners berth this year, and with these two good coaches should stand a good chance to fulfill the expecta- ton. The outlook of the school atm letics is good, as there is an apuh~ dance of good material to draw from.
 Coach Stillwell halls from Wofford of his temper. We golfers know.9 especially know both sides-that thls impression is totally wrong, put | contributes to the utterly unprc -as- sional attitude of the American caddy toward his job If the boy must leave school and go to work he seeks steady employment; he could never dream of depending upon caddying for livelihood. A few caddies become club professionals. but the majority turn to other trades, business and professions.
 British Men Caddy
 Every circumstances tends to make caddying a schoolboy's job. full of interest and excitement. often pas sionately loved. but profitable solely as vacation work.
 The British caddes. on the othe' hand, belong to a distinct class. They are mostly men-often old men. Some have been open champions, club pro fessionals who have faileu at their business through drink or other mis- fortune. Their sole occupation Is cad dying and a few odd jobs. They arc usually excellent golfers, perfectly competent to give advice to the bes; of players. The comparatively few British boys who caddy usually be- long to professional families. and they take their calling seriously There can be no greafer cont4st than that between the American and Brit ish boy caddies.

.elly-Stribing Battle
 Week From Monday
Battling Kelly Last of Local Clan Attempt Lower Standards of Macon Boy-Battle of Left
 Hands Is the Dope

all the Battler has lacked thus far is a real punch and ambition to al- ways keep in condition. Kelly has not fought with enough regularity to keep up his road and gym work. and as a consequence, his punching power and general ruggedness have suffered a bit.
 His Ambition Aroused
 Kelly is not making any prom ses of continuing the training campa gn which he recently inaugurated, or or going into battling for keeps but he has set his heart upon giving Strib- ling 8 whipping. andf next Monday night he prom ses to be fit to fulfiH his expectations. Perhaps victory over Stribling would give Kelly that initial impetus which he needs to make a real battler out of himself, for Kelly has the natural ability to become a contender
 In his last bout here. against Blanque. Stribling used a one punch system to win the scrap. His left iab was oNerworked that night while his right mitten rested unused against his jaw. That was very good against Blanque, for the New Orleans tar seemed to have no defense for a straight from the shoulder iab, Con- seauently, Stribling made a chopping nlock out oI Blanquc, and won easily.
 Left Against Left
 Kelly has an even better left hand than Strbling's to match against the Bacon boys jab. The Battler's cork screw" left hook has proved the un- doing of many a scrapper. and Kelly Is planning to use this blow against Stribling for all it's worth
 The Stribfng- Kelly scrap seems to be attracting lois of interest locally. and the bout should prove great drawing card, Kelly has numerous friends and packers in Birmingham while Stribfing's showing here makes him faYorite with fight fans.
 Tommy Tompkins states that he is arranging a preliminary card second 10 none, and is promising a semi final bout that will exceed in class that W<son-J Jerome bout of the last card at the R. A. c.

 Birmingham Age-H Herald, Dear Sir:
 "A team of basketball players from Troop 21 defeated a team of bona fide scouts from Troop 22 to- night, B to 27. We admit defeat, but wish to state that Jesse Buddy, coach of Troop 21, and, to the best of our knowledge, not member Of the Boy Scouts, played the entire game at center for Troop 2i.
 We are willing and even anxious to play Trop 2l for the city scout championship, as both of these teams are considered the strongest contenders for the title. If the game is arranged. we will insist that only bona fide scouts play on each team,
 Sincerely,

PenOua ScOrnS a Double Triumph

NEW YORK.--In her return from
pictures to the speaking stage in
THE Wlhte Peacock" Madam
Petrova has achieved double
triumph. In fact one might say
triple triumph. for not only has she
proven herself Gas the author of
Tho White Peacock"D capable of
writing n powerful play, and given
Il splendid exhibition that her few
years in moving pictures took moth
ing from her artistry, but she has
also realized one of the greatest
dreams OF her life In presentint
through the drama tremendous ap-
peal for the economic freedom of
her sex.
Madam Petroya Is essentially n
feminist, OF English Polish cxtrac-
tion, her youth was one succession
of struggles for the realization OF
her own artistic and financial
emancipation. since then her entire
life has been spent in injecting her
ideas and ideals for her sex into the
work she has done, II has been hcr
constant ambition to have the world
know the psychology OF woman as
she is, rather than as she is repre-
sented to he, A fiction writer of no
small reputation, Madam Petrova's
dominating note in all her literary
efforts has been one of distinct FEM
inism, so it is not surprising that
The white Peacock" should be sat
urated with II. The New York press
has even gone so far az to hail her
as IAN Ibson of the western hemls-
phere."
Despite the fact that its author
has injected into THE White Pea
cock" tremendous appeal for eco
nomic freedom OF her sex she has
preserved a nice sense OF dramatic
values ana so It's feministic note is
In no way obstructive.
The story Is as frank and daring
as the lovely star who portrays her
leading feminine character I'm the
drama. And 1t Is set in old Spain,
which fact has afforded the Selwyns
an exceptional opportunity for pic
turesque effects in their production
OF the play. II is the story OF an
artistic who declines to allow her
Spanish husband to impede her self
expression In her work. or brow beat
