 Schedule

Tennis is going at a fast clip out at Birmingham Southern college now every day, as the net team aspirants are fast rounding into condition.
 Dick Webb is captain elect of the team for this spring, and Dick has had his men working hard now for the past two weeks. preparing for the hard. schedule that is mapped out.
 Two letter men are back from last years team, namely. Dick Webb and Frog Miller. Miller won the singles last spring from the Howard college opponents.
 These two letter men are expected to work together this spring in the doubles, with several more good men making a good showing in the work
 Captain Webb announces that a tentative schedule has already been mapped out, including matches with Auburn, University of Alabama and Howard college. Captain Webb also promises one or two other strong teams will be placed on the schedule
 With such calibre teams as these to be met on the court, Birmingham Southern seems to be pressing for ward as fast in the net game as in other branches of sports.
 The courts have just been put into ideal condition for play. with new wirings replacing the old ones.
 Some of the men showing up good In the tennis work and who are mak- ing a strong bid for the team are Frank Hammett, Edwin Branscomb. Homer Spelce and others.

HARDWOOD IS GREAT TRICK SHOT
 MAKER, BUT ISNN'T GOLF MASTER

for him at every hole, he would bless the recent restoration of that play and hole without difficulty.
 Can Curve Ball
 The Australian champion also can curve his ball around another by putting english with a straight faced butter, but his truly native trick Is the boomerang ball. In this piece of legerdemain he cuts. or gives back spin to the ball to such an extent that the pellet is hurled high in the an exaggeration of the cut pitch shot played by all experts.
 Kirkwood is good at this, but the same reasons prevent him being more successful than other players when 1t comes to competition. He can dis cover the cut necessary to bring the ball back to him, but when it comes to estimating the backspin necessary to drop it dead to the pin from vary ing distances, that must be meas ured by the eye, he cannot keep up with Evans, who can hit a dozen balls 150 yards into the hands of caddy without requiring the catcher to move or can drop ball within a few inches of the flag from all sorts of distances.
 Delicate Driving
 Another stunt that theoretically calls for perfect play is to drive a ball off watch face or from beneath the foot of q person. but that merely requires exaetness in the trajectory of the club. and slice or hook might result if the club head followed or preceded the hands. respectively.
 Kirkwood also can put an extended slice or hook on ball, but that play is used by Jock Hutchison, British open champion. James Barnes, Ameri- can open titleholder, and many other premiers of the game are just as ef- fciently and probably with more certainty.
 The plausible reason why they ex- cell Kirkwood in open play is that they get in a secluded part of the links and practice the likely shots of an actual round as assiduously as he rehearses his trick shots.

Chicago, April 9.-There are tricks in all trades, but in golf at least the tricks do not spell supremacy as exemplified by the trick shot golfer, Joe Kirkwood, Australian open cham pion. now touring America with the intention of trying for the open title at Chicago this summer.
 Kirkwood can perform seemingly impossible tricks with a golf ball and butter, mashie, or driver, but, while he plays a splendid game, he has not been able to equal any of the leading Yankee golfers. He does not drive as far as Bob Gardner or approach or putt as well as dozen American players.
 He can drop a half dozen balls in a straight line and with a mashie pitch the farthest one into the hole pre- cisely and thus continue down the line until all disappear within the A inch can, but when he plays q regular round of golf he butts no better than many other good players and picks up no strokes by reason of his wizardry.
 GuiIford Superior
 He probably never approached the wonderful putting displayed by Jess Guilford when he won the national amateur championship at St. Louis last summer, and there is no record that he ever made so spectacular a putt as former Champion Chick Evans made at the same meet in holing a 30-footer on the sloping eighteenth green to defeat Jesse Sweetser of New York. Kfrkwood also can putt his ball against and from the lip of the cup. driving the near ball away and holing his own, but this could not be done in com petition. The difference seems to be that Kirkwood can peAform his stunts at calculated distances. so that long practice and a delicate. touch make the work exact, while in a reg ular round the ball must be played from all sorts of positions on the 120- foot square green. If he could have a stymie of three or four feet laid

Her ring was in superb condition when he fought Leonard. and he was able to maintain a fast pace throughout the bout.
 McMahon has won quite few of his bouts by knock-outs, and has earned the reputation of being some  thing of a slugger. He has fought only a few fights in Dixie, and is not as well known to southern boxing fans as some of the lesser lights in pugilism. However his clippings are good, and press notes on eastern box CTS have occasionally contained bits of news about Patsy, so he won't be an entirely unknown scrapper when he appears in the ring tomorrow night.
 B. A. c. officials have adopted the policy of having at least one out-of- town scrapper in the final fight on every card, and McMahon has been chosen to take this part tonight. Her ring is now considered local fighter, as he has taken up his residence here, and asserts that from now on the Magic City is his headquarters.

SEMI-F N AIS IN COUNTRY CLUBS

 Left in Running

Play in the Country clubs annual handicap golf tournament has ad- vanced to the semi-final round, as a result of the matches in the second round, which was completed yester- day. All semi-final matches must be completed by Wednesday night.
 Finals in all four flights and con solations will be played Saturday Trophies will be awarded winners of | flights and consultations.
 Second round play brought to light some good matches, especially the , linn Barnett-F. A. Lupton tilt. which 1 the former won after a hard struggle one up. Here are the semi fipalists, to com- pete in the third round the first part of this week, and the way they are paired:
 Jim Barnett versus Ed $. AL len.
 s. l.. YerISes versus Lee Moody. Followers of tho golf tournament at the Country club seem to be pick ing Lee Moody to come through with the championship. Moody has been playing good golf, and. besides, has a generous handicap, so it is figured that he has about the best chance to win the championship.
 Lee Moody won his second round match from M. B. Mlms rather easily winning by to 3 score. s. l.. Yerkes defeated Vester Brown and 1, the same score by which Ed s. Allen eliminated Ed Barnett. A glance down the list of results fin the second, third and fourth rounds shows that there were no spectacular matches played, as all were won by fairly easy scores

The Baronial moguls must have been disappointed, if they expected imIhe- diate help, for the following informa- tion was wired in to The Age-Herald by Herbert Caldwell, sporting edlloF of the Commercial Appeal:
 Memphis.-After the Memphis Pirate game, W. D. smith, presi- dent of the Birmingham Baseball associntion, announced that no business had been transacted with PittsburE officials,
 4There were no immediate trans actions" stated smith, "and t doeSn't look like there will be any real soon. either."s
 At that. Smith and Moley had the chance to look over tho field further and to keep posted on any possible prospects in the Pirate camp.
 Stewart WOn't Return
 Here's a bit of bad news for local railbirds. who probably have been counting on additional infleld strength by Wednesday, when the Southern league season begins: Stuffy Stewart won't return to Birmingham, at least for not while yet. Caldwell also wired in this information:
 Memphis.--It does not look much like the BarOus are going to get stewart, second basemnn, back. According to newspapers men travelling with the Pirate club, Stewart will most likely start the season at second base with the Pittsburg club. It seems thnt Stewart has been going like a house afIre, and Manager Gib- son likes his looks.
 Well, that knocks the props from under certain air castles railbirds have been building of stuffy Stew arts sensational work around sec ond base, but local fans, no doubt, will hear of Stewards success in the big leagues with pleasure.
 Bnrons, Starting Line-Up
 It now seems that the Baronial squad is about lined up for the drop ping of the flag, with the exception of few more releases, which are ex- pected daily. Manager Molesworth will probably start this lineup in Wednesdays game:
 silya, center field.
 Neun, first base.
 Clarke, left field.
 Harper, right field.
 Taylor, third base.
 I<rehmyer or Kane. second base.
 BurIett, shOrtstOp.
 Robertson, catcher.
 statbnm, Eberhhrd or White hill, pitcher.
 If Kane Is used at second base. he will probably be second in the line- up, with Neun dropping down to Krehmyer's place, behind Taylor.
 There are some young and some veteran players in this lineup. Doc Silva is a holdover from last year, while Neun is a young minor leaguer, with lots of promise.
 Clarke Hitting 'Em
 Stump Clarke, utility man last year. has been hitting like a fiend this season, and seems right for a regu- lar playing berth now.
 Harper is veteran Southern leaguer, coming to Birmingham from batting In 1920. Tommy Taylor is last years peppery little hot corner artist.
 Krehmyer came to Birmingham to replace Traynor last season, while Kane is a young Baron recalled from Mississippi. Burkett is the son of Jess Burkett, famous major leaguer. who made good in the Virginia league.
 Robertson is veteran Texas league receiver, who was considered one of the best catchers in that cir cult.
 Statham, Whitehi1l and Eberhard are veterans of at least one season of play in the Southern league. and all have shown ability in preseason bat ting.

 TO BE COMPLETED

Tho tenpin tournament at the Bir- mingham bowling alleys is to be com pleted by Saturday night, and all bowlers are urged to play their games early. M. A. Moran and L.

 Jerome vs. sarron
 Steve Sarron, the fIashy little Boys club battler, will meet Frankie Je- rome of the B. 4. C., a corking good little boxer. Jerome's speed is ex- pected to offset the advantage in slugging ability which Sarron might have.
 Sarron and Jerome are among the flashiest bantams in the city, and will fight tonight for the right to meet Claude Wilson in a city cham pionship affair." the bout to be staged when Claude returns from Boston. This bout is also a -rounder.
 Marshall Moses Matched
 Marshall Moses, the East Lake youngster, who defeated Lovingood in a slam bang heavyweight contest short time ago, will get another chance to show his wares when he meets Big Boy Edwards of Vivian in a three-round engagement.
 Edwards has been after a fight with Moses for some time, and Mar shall claims he will give his oppo- nent all the fight he wants in to- nights scrap.
 Joe Calamusa, the Boys club 1s5- pound Tarzan. will meet Tom Brodie of Wylam in a three-rounder in the 1S5-pound class. Calamusa is a husky slugger. but doesn't know much about the game, and Brodie's slightly superior experience might serve him well tonight.
 Bogie Saab, the Boys club feather weight, who gave Claude Wilson such a fight last week, will meet Johnny Smith in a three-rounder. Smith is a slugger, and Bogie is expected to have his hands full tonight.
 The preliminaries. which promise to be about the best the B. A. c. has ever billed, will begin at 8:30 o'clock to- night.
