B. A. C. SHOW IS BILLED FOR MONDAY, JULY 70
DR. PRINCE HIGH SCORER AT SHOOT OF THE GUN CLUB

A big bunch Of shooters took part in the Birmingham Gun clubs regis tered shoot Saturday afternoon and some fine scores were made and some good runs registered.
 The 100 registered target event was win for Dr. E. Nj. Prince, who made the phenomlnal score of s8 out of his 100, and was high over the en- tire field of 30 shooters. It seemed to be a Prince day, as Edwin Prince, Jr.. was close second with 97 of the little clays. This Is the best score Ed Prince, Jr., has made. and one that is seldom equaled by many shooters.
 Third place went to T. K. Leo with the score of 97, which Is a good piece of work for a man with a bad hand. One feature of the shoot was that moro than half of the number participating In the shoot, shot better than 90 per cent, which Is very un- usual.
 B. E. Strader was high profession a: for the afternoon, while Clyde Hunter came second. Hunter had hard luck, as ho was down only three largest in tho 75 and had to change guns, and missed eiGht tar gets in his last event.
 The long runs for tho afternoon were made by T. K. Lee. with 50 straight, while Mrs. Carl came next with 4e, Dr. Sellars. 42; M. E. Dew stoe, 33; Edwin Prince, SC; Leo Moody, S3; Paul McCartin. 32; Dr. Prince, 50; Pete Turner. 2s; O. l.. Carl, 3s; E. A. Wernlck, 26; B. E. Strader, 2S; I. M. Crum, 26.
 The Birmingham Gun club Is get ting ready for it's big registered shoot. which will take place on July IS and 1s. with a practice day on July IT. Officers of the Birmingham Gun club intend to make this one of the best shoots If possible that has ever been given, and have let ters from number of shooters ask ing to be squadded up already.

ability. His efforts as a disciplin- arian were weak, and this always spells disaster for a ball manager. IL has come near the undoing of Miller Huggins. the diminutive pilot of the Yankees. on more than one occasion.
 Not What They Used to He
 In line with the explosion of things managerial In the Pitts burg camp, 1t might be we'll to mention that relations between the Birmingham club and the Pi- rates are not what they used to be. Local officials have been saying it with silence. and Pitts burg executives haven't comment ed on the Baron Pirate alliance, but the undercurrent of gossip had had it for some time that the same cordial relations that existed for so many years be- tween the two clubs are not what they once were.
 Pittsburg sent Stewart back to Birmingham this spring. That marked the Pirates lone effort to help bolster a faltering ball club. No comment has been forth coming from those In charge. but 1t was to be noticed that when the Barons finally had to have help they went elsewhere to get 1t. They dickered with the Yan- kees for the purchase of man outright. They then finally bought Sargent from the Portland club Of the Pacific Coast league.
 If one will put two and two together and figure a bit, one may see how the purchase Of Sargent was effected. Rick Woodward and ny Cobb are the warmest of personal friends Sar- gent was with the Detroit club last year and the Tigers proba- bly, stil had strings tied to him. When Ty learned that Friend Rick was in dire need of man he probably pulled the wires so that Sargent could be purchased from the Portland club.
 Score One for Mu9Gsy
 John McGraw. boss of the Giants, who has been in fist fights more times than a centipede has fingers and toes, scored his first victory the other day. Muggsy and Ralph Shinners. the star he bought from the Indianapolis club were roughing 1t under the stands and Shinners was getting ; the better of the argument. Catch CT Smith went to the rescue of his boss, and McGraw. as usual. thought Smith was attacking him. He turned to swat Smith one and that brought the fight to close. Smith Is the only man McGraw has ever been able to heat, and he will probably keep him on the club until he drops off, so he can always point with pride to smith ani say: There's guy l beat up oace."

Wrestling and Boxing Bouts
 Are Featured on B. A. C. Ath- IetiC Show Card-Lavigne- Wilson Bout Is Featured
SPORTS
By MARVIN MCCARTHY

The Kid Lavigne-Claude Wilson boxing bout for a week from Monday night is on, announces Tommy Tomp- kins, E. A. c. matchmaker. Tompkins' wire to Lavigne was productive ok results. inasmuch as the former British flyweight sent wire back that he will be able to meet the date here on July 10.
 Layigne boxes Holly Sullivan, . young hopeful from Atlanta. at Athens, Ga., on the night of July {, and will come to Birmingham from there. He will be here several days before his bout with Wilson, and local railbirds will have an opportunity to see him work out before the night of his match at the B. A. c.
 E. A. c. officials have mapped eua an interesting athletic show for July 10, including several wrestling ana boxing bouts.

 will wrestIe 10 minutes. then rest fives each period constituting . round.
 In another wrestling bout next Monday, Claude Hendricks will meet Bill Martin in a six-round wrestling match. Both are B. A. c. boys, and have staged several thrilling matches in the local gymnasium.
 In addition to the Claude Wilson- Kid Lavigne bout, Phil Keith and Battling Kelly will stage a six-round semi-final boxing match. Battling Kelly is inaugurating comeback campaign after couple of disastrous defeats.
 Octavus Roy Cohen, who recently returned from Atlanta, where he par- ticipated In the southern champions ship golf tournament, has quite hIs to say about Kid Lavigne. who meets Claude Wilson in the feature bout next Monday, July 10.
 A Hard Locker
 lover in Birmingham I have seen some hard chaps enter the ring" as- serted Roy Cohen, but undoubtedly Kid Lavigne takes the cake when it comes to putting up q mean appear ance in the ring. That. with tue Cockney accent he carries along with hls speech, is enough to scare the ordinary bantamweight to death.
 He Is husky looking bird. Al- though apparently over 30 years of age, as bald spot in the top of his head indicates, Lavigne Is never theiess nobody's weakling. He has powerful arms, and ought to be able to hit terrible sock.
 In my opinion, Tommy Tompkins has stepped a bit out of Wilson's class In securing Lavigne for claude's ops ponent I have as much confidence in the ability of Wilson as anyone, but I'm afraid the British chap whom he will meet next Monday night may prove too much for him. If Wilson | isn't scared to death at Lavigne's s appearance. and it his natural ability can offset the experience of the vet- eran Engllsher. he might pull through with q victory, though" Birmingham has not had an ath- letic show in several weeks now. and local railbirds are primed for a corking good bill of wrestling and boxing bouts. A capacity house should greet the ringmen at tho B. A. c. on the night of Monday, July 10

Chattanooga Follows Mobile
 When Boisterous Bert and. his Beat-'Em Up- Bears have finished their campaign of Brulnation against the forces of good King Carlton, the generalmisso of Baronial forces will then turn his attention to an Invasion from the north. Erin Edward Mc- Donald, who has battled for lost cause in Chattanooga all summer, and who has valnly probed for success, will come into 3ickwood for a trio of tussles.
 After local followers get a mountaineerful of the Lookouts, in series which runs thu ough Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the good King Carlton will pull tent-stakes, break camp and en- train for foreign fields, not to return until the ides of July have well nigh spent themselves, July 20 to be more exact.
 Sargent Is Due
 Joe Sargent. shortstop de luxe, purchased from the Pacific Coast league, is due to make his local debut. against the Mobillous tribe tomorrow afternoon. Josephus cost the Baron club fivs thou smaekers and no end of anxiety. They needed help Immediately, so therefore they went to the Pacific Coast league to get it. This gave 'em the immediate help, plus five days transportation take-out.
 Maybe the appearance of Joe around the ishortfield will put new pep into those who have been with us all season. Here's hoping, anyway Jesse Burkett and Sugar Kane will spend tomorrow afternoon on the bench. Jesse has been shortstopping all season.. Sugar, who was called to third, during the absence of Tommy Taylor. may now rest awhile. due 10 the fact that Taylors digits are convalescing.
 Dissension In PirnfevilIc
 The resignation of George Gib- son as manager of the Pitts burg Pirates came as complete surprise to some. but 1t was looked for by others. Now. that George has thrown in the sponge, and turned the reins over to Bill McKechnie. 1t develops that the erstwhile pilot of the Buccos has been having trouble with players and bosses ever since the team blew up last year with the pen- nant In it's grasp.
 George took enough criticism in 1921 from those in charge of the pay roll to hand in his resig- nation, but he delayed the move. When the Pirates had their spurt in the early spring the Bucco chief was all smiles and thought he was getting the breaks in luck once more. The slump came, however. and the avalanches of criticism descended upon his head once more. He couldn't stand the gaff He tossed in the, sponge.
 Hints dropped by certain play CTS tended to show that the ball tossers on the Pirate pay roll had little confidence in his managerial
