By HoRAcE RENEGAR

Plans are being rapidly formulated for the greatest high school track meet in the history of the state in the one to be held in Munger bowl, Birming Southern college, May lS. The meet is the second annual Birming gham-S Southern field meet, and high schools all over the state are voicing their intentions of entering.
 The entry blanks were mailed out to state high schools only two days ago. and already four high schools have formally entered, Many others will probably be listed today.
 The teams that entered yesterday were Ensley, Woodlawn, Pe1l City and Simpson. All of these shools are reported as having good track and field teams
 Simpson and Ensley both made good showing at Auburn. Ensley winning third place in the meet while Simpson took fourth. Wood lawn and Pel City are each sending five entries.
 The team scoring the highest num- Der of points in the meet will be awarded the Bill Streit silver loving cup. To keep the cup permanently, however, a school must win 1t two years in succession. The Bessemer High Tigers already have one leg on the cup, having won 1t last year. The Bessemer team is said to be coming back strong this spring.
 Little Is known of the Peil City teams strength. but the Pellets are said to have several strong entries. among them being Indian" Deason. who starred last spring in short dis tance dashes.
 Simpson Tech is also strong In the i00tyard dash, having as it's star run ner Fred Streit, who has copped two medals already this spring.
 Munger Bowl is in ideal shape now foE the big prep meet, having had considerable work done on the track and the field. Much work has been 6one getting it ready for the Bir- ,,ningham Athletic club southern invi- Hation meet, to be held Saturday.

Forfeiture Giues fhe
 Junior Fathers Win
 Tn a Hectic Battle

After a hectic struggle lasting seven and one-half Innings. the Mountaineers of shades-Cahaba for feited to Simpson in their Jefferson County league game yesterday after noon, 9 to 0, when they refused to resume play following an umpire's decision.
 The disputed play came in the last half of the eighth Hamilton, first up in this frame, had gained life at first on Hunters error of his ground ball. Evans caught him off first the first ball thrown to Caldwell when he slipped on the muddy paths. The chase which followed resulted in Hall tagging Hamilton, but the former dropped the ball' when making the effort, the umpire calling Hamilton safe at second. The Mountaineers claimed the Simpson player ran out of line, and refused to abide by the umpire's decision. It is understood that the forfeited game will be pro- tested.
 Up to this stage, Hamilton and Curl had staged a brilliant pitchers duel, neither giving up an earned run and keeping the few hits garner ed off their delivery well scattered. Both teams had men in position to score on several occasions. but the necessary punch was lacking.
 The lone score Of the contest. made by the Mountaineers. came in the third frame. Goode doubled. and. when Roberts beat out an infield hit, attempted to score but was caught between third and home. Godbee threw wild to Tanner when Goode attempted to get back to third, al- lowing the only score.
 Simpsons best chance to count canfe in the last frame. when. with man on second and none out. the game was halted
 The Junior Partners rapped out five hits with the Mountaineers clouting four. Hall and Vincent con- tributed two each.

afternoon. In the 100-yard dash are several good men. Including the I<ir- by brothers, Alabama; Nixon and Stack. Vanderbilt; Fred Streit, Bir- mingham A. C.; Redform. Clemson. and Webb, A and M, all of whom are good men. There are some in this group who have done the century mark slightly under 10 might be reached tomorrow.
 In the hurdles, Sewanee is offer ing a substitute for Bill Coughlan, one of the best murders the south has ever produced. in Tomlinson. A pulled tendon will keep Coughlan. who Is a Birmingham boy, out of the meet this year.
 In Distance Events
 Entries in the distance events are unusually strong this year, with Mis- sissippi A. and NJ sending its usual good team, and Ellsworth Richter entered for the B. A. c.
 Records are always broken at the B. A. C.s track meets. as the best talent that Dixie produces gathers here for the games. With the largest and most representative entry list in the history of the games. B. A. c. officials are predicting the most sue cessful renewal of the event ever staged.
 Local interest in the games this year seems to be higher than usual. and, with the better conditions under which the games will be staged this year, 1t Is probable that an unusual ly large crowd will be in attendance at the meet tomorrow.
 Cinder Track in Shape

She has journeyed there with Dolly Mortimer, whose husband is at Johannesburg. Reg gle Van Tuyl. who gave Camille a sapphire as security for money she lent him, has followed them.

He recovered through his wife's nurs- ing, and as she had come into some money he decided to stay with her. Right after their wedding Camille and Elliot started off for Elliots ranch in Rhodesie, motoring part way and then going by donkey cart, plan ming for their new pioneer life to- gether in "The Garden of Desire"
 Camille was quite enchanted.
 T could go on like this vorever."
 Glyn smiled into her ardent eyes.

American Golfers Are Not Going Abroad
 This Year

Chicago. May 4.-Golf matches be- tween leading American and British players apparently will be played only in the United States this year. as none of the premier golfers of this country are now listed to go abroad, while a large coterie of Brit ish players is planning to cross the Atlantic.
 Although definite decisions have not been. announced by Jess Gull ford1 national amateur champion, and Francis Ouimet. former cham pi9n, both of Boston, the impression hals spread that they will not go abroad this year. It has been given oiit by Chick Evans and Bob Gard yer of Chicago. each twice national Yitleholders, and Bobby Jones. of At ..lanta that they will not seek pre- mier honors in England this year.
 Johnston Not Going
 Harry Johnston, of St. Paul, who downed Ouimet last year at St. Louis and lost to Guilford by only a down through shot that landed behind a tennis court pale, had announced that he would go to Europe, but to- day he said he would be unable to take the trip. He said he might have arranged his business to go if a regular team had been organized, but did not feel like making the effort for an individual invasion.
 Five youngsters from New Eng land have entered for the British amateur championship to be played at Prestwick May 29 to June 4, but their chances of getting far seems slight on the basis of their standing among American golfers. The time now appears too short to organize an expedition if the pilgrims are to have any time to become acclimated. ed.
 The British Open
 As to the British open event, to be contested at Sandwich June 22- 2S, Jock Hutchison. who captured the crown last year In a play off with Roger wethered. an English amateur. has not decided whether he will defend the honor and no word has como from other likely con- tenders. The impression Is that few. If any, will try for the title as the national open championship is set for two weeks later in Chicago.
 In Womens Events , In the women's events, Miss Alexa &Stirlfng of New York and Atlanta, formerly national champion, has said she would not go abroad and no arrangements have been announced for foreign junket by Miss Marion Hollins of New York, National cham pion, or other leading feminine golf CTS.
 But there will be much crossing of mashies in international matches in the United States, for not only are the pick of England and Scotland coming to seek the prime Yankee honors of the links. but Canadians, Australians, Chinese and possibly Continental European golfers will display their skill at Skokie club, Chicago, in the opening event July 10-15 and at the Country club of Brookiine near Boston. September l. g. It Is also likely that British wom- en will try for Miss Hollins' laurels at White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. September 25-30

Give the Kids Chance
 When l was a kid on the farm, the only way l could have a few dimes for Christmas money was by get ting permission to have some little crop of my own. such as a few hills of watermelons. a few rows of pop corn or small patch of peanuts.
 These were studiously cultivated at odd moments or whenever the in- clination to go fishing or swimming did not overcome me.
 How many farmers now give the'r kids chance to make some real money of their own? How many realize the great importance of in- stilling into their children the value of self reliance and the state of mind that goes with independence and ownership?
 It pays to take the children into partnership with farm management, and let them share the losses, gains, trials. sorrows and happiness.
 Failure to do this has been severe economic loss to the country. If q better understanding could obtain in rural families. there would be no need for propaganda, back to the eoun- try"
