Walker County Beaten
 By Tech High Quintet

Auburn, March 4.-(Special.) )-Aft- CT tsaveling safely through the three rounds of the preliminaries, Walker county was sidetracked by the fast Tech High aggregation in the open ing game of the semi-finals here this afternoon by the close margin of 41 to 35.
 With the count four to four, the big bombardment began and five times during the first period the score was a tie. The Atlantans then stepped ahead for lead that proved to be a cinch throughout the contest. Just before the close of the initial frame the Walker lads staged a scoring rally that looked like dis- aster for the Georgians, but the pe iriod ended with the score favoring the Gate City cagers z9 to 21.
 When the whistle blew after in ,termission, the Walker boys again threatened to monopolize on the score Keepers sheet, but again the fast Junior Smithies stemmed the tide and carved the numerals of victory ,on the records of the cotton states tournament.

Diamond Prospects. al Simpson Seem
 Bright

Simpson high school has excellent baseball prospects, as time to start diamond work hears. Nine veterans are expected to be out when report ing time rolls around, as well as a nifty squad of new men.
 The infield will return intact, with Caldwell at first, Hartsfield at sec ond, Godbee at short and Tanner at third. Godbee can be used behind the bat, also, while Vincent and Edmondson are two new men who are expected to make strong bids for infield berths.
 Afexander and Hanna are regular outfielders returning, while Wheeler. catcher. can be used in the outfield also.
 Hamilton and Norwood are the twirlers from last year. while Alex ander can be used on the mound also. Any one of the battery men can be used in the outfield, as all, are fair hitters.
 The Junior Partners have entered the league again this year and are expected to be contenders for the championship.

BEETLE MENACE ID
 BEAN GROWING

According to a bulletin just issued by the local United States bureau of entomology. the Mexican bean beetle the beetle from 4,5oo square miles to approximately 45,000 square miles since last year. According to the bulletin this is very alarming on ac- count of the fact that it was discov- cred that huge strips of timbered sec tions were no bar to the beetles and that they had infested some of the most excluded valleys in the country. The bulletin states that the beetle has made bean raising quite discour- aging around Birmingham.
 The bulletin follows:
 The Mexican bean beetle, which is probably the most serious pest af- fecting beans. was reported in Ala bama in the summer of 1920. At the end of the year, it was known to oc- cur in 1S counties in Alabama cen tering on Birmingham. At the end cf the year 1921. 1t was found to be present in the following states: northern Georgia, 36 counties; west ern North Carolina, 9 counties; west ern North Carolina, counties; West ern South Carolina, counties; south ern Kentucky, 2 counties; eastern Tennessee, 34 counties.
 While 1t is possible that the 1920 scouting did not outline the limits of the infested territory completely there is reason to believe that larger part of the new infestar1on dis covered in 1921 represented the spread for that year. The insect, therefore had not only increased it's range from about 4,50O square miles to about 45,o00 square miles. but in in vading many secluded valleys in the mountains in eastern Tennessee, gave indication that large stretches of woodland and hills are no bar to it's spread. On the basis of last years work, there appears to be no doubt that this insect will rapidly continue it's spread in all the states where it now occurs, and in addition to these will certainly invade the states of Mississippi and Virginia. During the past two years, it has caused such heavy losses to dried and snap beans in the Birmingham area that the cul- ture of these crops has been very largely discouraged and similar con ditions are likely to occur at any place in the southeast where this in sect becomes established. While the most serious injury occurs on dried and snap beans there has been suffi- cient injury to cowpeas and soy beans to attract the attention of agricul- turists who are interested primarily in crop rotation and the maintenance of fertility in the soil"

JUNIOR PAINTERS ARE
 BEATEN BY ATLANTANS

Auburn, March 4.-(Special) )-The figures g to 13 tell the story of vic- tory for the University High quintet in their game with Simpson here in the second and last game of the semi finals in the Cotton States tour nament this afternoon. With Simp- son playing far below form and the Georgians hitting normal stride, the decision came without considerable difficulty to Captain Laird and his scrappy cohorts.
 Laird, the sorrel topped scrapper. who has been working at the pivot job since Freeman's illness, looped the first counter when he got a long one from the field. In the early stages of the garle the score was tied and G.. but the University Blue Birds stepped into the lead and were never over taken by the trailing Simpsonites and the initial frame ended 20 to for the Atlantans.
 Laird, with 2l points, was easily the star of the evening, while Vincent. at center, led the Partners with five

 Polly" Scokel will be back at his old stand at first base. scokeI can pitch little if called upon to do SO, but he will probably be kept at first this season.

 McCrorie and Mendenhall, two reg ular outfielders, will return, while O'Brien, regular catcher, may be shifted to the outfield if another backstop can be obtained.

Ten Veterans Return To Wildcat
 Squad

Jefferson county perhaps has as bright baseball prospects as any hisa school in the Birmingham district, as ten veterans are returning to the team again this season. Coach Bryan will begin work at once on his team, and is expected to turn out strong contender for the Jefferson County High school baseball league cham pionship. X
 For the infield, Jernigan. first; Ford, second: Self, short, and Mckin- ley, third, will be out when the first call is sounded.
 Dismukes, Lynch and DeShazo form the outfield trio of old men, while. Ware and Gillespie are being counted upon to form the catching staff Ware may not be out, but Coach Bryan is counting upon him. He has an excellent backstop in Gil- lespie if Ware doesn't return.
 Clay is the only twirler to return. but his mound work is excellent, and he is expected to do the majority of the twirling for the County boys this season.
