 Bout January 27

Cliff Binkley, heavyweight grap- pier who made such great showing against "Strangler" Lewis in their bout at the B. A. c. last Monday night, will be Tom Draak's opponent Tn the bout at the club on January 27. week from Friday night
 It was thought at first that Blink ley's injury sustained in the bout Monday night, when his neck was strained by Lewis dreaded headlock, that the Ohio state grappler would be unable to oppose Draak, but Cliff has recovered rather rapidly, and yesterday 1t was announced that he will be one of the principals in the big bout.

BreSnahan Seeks
 aIent for Hens

New York, January 1s.-Roger Bresnahan, former star of stars of major leagues, now manager of the Toledo club of the American associa- tion, is in New York for conferences with his old boss, John McGraw, of the world champion Giants. Roger Is looking for talent to bolster the Mudhens and it is said may be aided by McGraw.
 Bresnahan was asked for his opin- ion of the much talked of "balle" movement of Pitcher Dave Dapforth, the southpaw for whom the St. Louis Browns recently gave a whole corral full of players.
 His movement is queer and tricky and fools the opposition all right Bresnahan said. And unless fel- first, Danny I'll catch him sure. L don't know whether he'll get away with it in the majors. but really I don't think it's a balk movement. He faces first base directly, as do many left handlers and it's the move ment of his led as he's about to pitch, or when the base runner thinks he's about to pitch. that fools 'em."
 The Giants management announced that the signed contract of William Black, infielder, purchased from the Virginia League, had been received.
 John Evers, famous Cub and Braves second sacker of former years, may rejoin the Giants coaching staff. Evers became a coaching member of the Giants in June, 1920, but was released at the end of the season, in order to accept an offer to manage the Cubs. Bill KiIlifer replaced Johnny as the Cub boss last season.
 Yesterday Evers called on McGraw and chatted for a while. It was announced that the visit was purely social" but the coaching staff of the Giants still needs another mem Der and Evers has been mentioned frequently for the job.

CRIMSONS HOSTS TO BULLDOGS IN TWO-DAY AFFAIR.
Coach MarshaIl's Quintet In- vadeS University Camp for
 First Game Friday

University, January 1s.-(Special.) Tho mid-year examinations now over. basketball practice at the uni- versity will continue uninterrupted for the rest of the season, although the mid-term dances which will take place this weekend in the gym nasium will interfere some. Two big games are scheduled for the week. end with Howard college. Reports from Howard indicate that they have a strong fighting aggregation, and they are expected to give the undefeated Crimsons a good scrap.
 The Crimsons will be handicapped by the absence of Stabler, whose in- iuries in the Georgia Tech game have proven serious enough to keep him out of practice for some days. and even if he is able to play by the end of the week. he will suffer from the lack of practice. Stabler played 8 wonderful game against Tech, fight ing every second until he was forced to leave with his bad leg. His &C., ourste shots helped materially in piling up the huge score for the Crimsons.
 Two Good Subs
  either of whom will make good substitute for Stabler. Cobb, A Montgomery boy, was on the squad last year and has been showing good form this season. Riley. who was team mate of Stabler's in high school, has already made the squad, and was used Saturday night when Stabler was disabled.
 Tuesday afternoon the squad was given probably the hardest work out they have had this season. Slim Car ter, the center who is attracting attention from far and wide by his great work on the Crimson squad this season, was & little sick and could not play Tuesday afternoon.
 Interest is now oentering on the games with Howard Friday and Sat- urday nights, and everything will be dcne to have tho squad in frst-class shape, for the Bulldogs are expected to come prepared to give them hard struggle.

B. 4. C. QUINTET TO- MEET ATLANTANSI SATURDAY NIGHT
Mandy Injured and May Not Be Able to Play in
 Atlanta

The Athletic club basketball squad Is somewhat shot to pieces as re- suit of the gruelling battle with the Howard college Bulldogs Tuesday night. Several of the players are sore and bruised, for the scrap was about the hottest staged in Birming- ham this season, but the greatest blow of all is the probable loss of Norman Mandy, star guard of the Clubbers.
 Mandy has sustained injuries to leg, and is now the victim of a full fledged "charlie horse." Coach Erwin was. rushing around almost In frenzy yesterday, trying to secure medical aid for the injured star.
 Saturday night the Clubbers meet the Atlanta Athletic club quintet in their first game of the season. The game will be played in Atlanta, and the Gate City athletes are again fa- vorites to win the game.
 Coach Erwin stated yesterday that Mandy, may be in shape for the game with the Atlanta Athletic club. The Clubbers will be sadly handicapped if he isn't, for Mandy has proven to be almost 50 per cent of the offensive strength of the local outfit this sea- son.
 The following men will probably make the trip to Atlanta: Chisholm, Suspicion and Monghon, forwards; Bryan and Holt, center; Mandy. Laughlinhouse and Shugerman, guards.
 The Clubbers will have one or two more strenuous workouts before the Atlanta game, but will rest up the last day or so.
 The Atlantans are forging head of the local outfit in matter of wins now, and the Clubbers are anxious to turn the tide in their favor awhile.

 Some time back Binckley met Plestina, the man of mystery, and while he lost to Plestina he says he will bet money he can throw him now. Ed Lewis could throw Plestina any day in the week." said Cliff.
 Binckley enjoys a recent vic tory over Goho Gobar, the Hindu. He told me Wednesday that he had never met Tom Draak upon the mat, but confidently expected to throw the Belgian when they meet at the Athletic club little less than two weeks hence.
 Quite a pleasing personality has Sir Clifford and he bids fair to become as popular in Birming- ham as Ed Lewis is now, or as John Freberg and Doctor Roller once were.
 Foursome at Woodward
 A golf foursome that has started the tongues of local golf CTS to wagging is the event booked for the Woodward Gulf club the coming Saturday, when Rollo Steinmehhl. pro at Wood ward Herbert Norton, pro at Hilicrest; Charlie Hall, pro at the Birmingham Country club. and Bob Andrews, pro at Roebuck, tie up in golf battle over the picturesque little Woodward course.
 Andrews and Steinmehl are go- ing to tackle Norton and Hall, and a good gallery should follow the players. The one thing that has the golfers guessing is whether Charlie Hall will be able to use his wooden clubs on the Woodward course without over driving the greens. Charlie will not experience this trouble on No. 3, at least.
 It's hard to tell whether George Cook was a set-up for Carp, or a fall guy.
