PREP ELEVENS TOlPANTHERS GIVEN
BATTLE FOR TITLE LETTERS FOR THE
HERE THIS WEEK POST GRID SEASON
WiIls-TayIor and G. C, NJ. A.
to Meet at Munger Bowl
Saturday

When Wills-Taylor of Huntsville
and Gulf Coast Military academy of
Gulfport Miss, meet at Birmingham
Saturday for the prep championship
of Alabama and Mississippi, the game
will probably be played at Munger
bowl. This was learned yesterday,
when a wire from Billy West, secre-
tary of the Birmingham Baseball as
ISOLATION. stated that lockwood park
would be unavailable Saturday.
willsTaylor has met and defeated
some of the strongest prep teams
in Alabama, having no defeats
chalked up against 1t for the season.
The Gulfport boys have cleaned up
everything in Mississippi. and pro-
motors of the game believe they have
billed a. winning attraction in this
prep matching
In meeting for the title Saturday,
the championship will be more or less
mythical, for neither G. C. M. A. nor
Wills-Taylor have anything like a
recognized claim to their respective
titles. The prep championship OF
Alabama is regarded as highest hon
ors in football, step higher than
high school calibre. Wills Taylor Is
not regarded as having claim to the
high school championship of the
state, for that title rests between
Central Sidney Lanier, Fayette and
one or two more accredited high
schools. Wills-Taylor is a prep
school and that's the title the Hunts
Vile lads are claiming.
Gulf Coast Military academy has
what Is considered one of the strong
est prep elevens in the south. The
Gulfport lads play a fast. snappy
brand of football. and, behind excel
lent coaching, have done well during
sthe past season.
Final arrangements for the game
at Munger bowl Saturday have not
been made, but will be announced In
a day or so. Advices from Hunts
Vile state that tickets for ths game
will go on sale at the usual places
here Wednesday morning.
Officials for the, game have not
been selected yet. but represen-
tative from Huntsville is expected to
arrive here today to complete ar
rangements for the battle.

SILVA is TRADED
TO WICHITA FALLS
FOR JAKE MILLER
Barons Get Hard Hitting Out
fielder for Veteran
Doc Silva.

Doc Silva. who for two seasons has
worn the uniform of Baron, has
probably played his last game in the
outfields for the Birmingham club.
According to telegram from Billy
West. secretary Of the Birmingham
Baseball association. Silva has been
released to the Wichita Falls club OF
the Texas league.
The deal whereby Silva goes to
Wichita Falls will bring Jake Miller,
hard hitting ontfielder of that club,
to Birmingham. Bill West did not
state whether there was cash CON
sideration in the deal or not.
Silva has performed in creditable
fashion fer the Barons during each of
his seasons as regular. He is a
fast and dangerous man on the bases
and ought to be a nice acquisition
to the Wichita Falls club.
Barons Get a siugger
Birmingham is getting regular
slugger in Miller, IL past perform
ances run true to form enext sea-
son. Jake is right-handed hitter,
and hits 'em hard and often
Doc Silva is making his debut in
the Texas league for the second time
next season. When Birmingham first
secured Silva he came here from the
Pacific coast. He failed to make
good, and was sent to Shreveport
of the Texas circuis fer further sea
soning. He was recalled a year later,
and for two years was a regular with
the Barons. His return\to the Texas
league in 1928 can not be called a
demotion as that circuit has been adj
vanced to Glass A rating and Ia con-
sidered to play every bit as fast a
brand of ball as the Southern.
other Deals Pending
In another telegram Billy West
stated that he and w. ID. (Quack)
Smith, president of the club. would
probably close other deals while at
tending the minor league session at
Louisville as they intend to round out
the infield and take on some new
material. Spring training will be
started early this season as the club
hopes to jump right into the pen
nant fight from the staft and not
wait till the arrival OF hot weather
to start things moving, as has been
the habit during the past few sea-
sons.

Meet in Bout at the
B. A. {. Next Monday

Jimmy Katz of Cincinnati, two
listed little slugger who gave
Claude Wilson such a severe bait
tie at the b. A. c. several weeks
ago. will make his second APP
pearsnce In a Birmingham ring
next Monday night, December IL,
when he meets Tim O'Dowd of
Atlanta in a 10-round bout.
Both O'Dowd and Katz have
fought at the local athletic club
on one previous occasion. Each
has met Claude Wilson. Dixie
flyweight champion, in bouts
here. and each secured a draw
, with the flashy little B. A. c.
scrapper.
O'Dowd, who holds the south
ern bantamweight championship.
Ia considered one of the hardest
hitters for his weight in the
south. Katz showed not only hit
ting ability but boxing skill in
his bout with Wilson. Roy
Cohen chairman of the boxing
committee at the B. A. c., stated
last night that, in his opinion,
the bout next Monday night will
be one of the hardest fought and
most interesting OF the season.
Tom Lacey and Homer Smiles,
who were scheduled to meet for
the city middleweight wrestling
last night will
probably battle for the title and
a silver loving cup In next
Monday nights show, according
to Roy Cohen. Smiles was unt
able to appear last night.

Barnett made a mistake last night
and thereby lost victory over Ten
ner, and wins over the South Caro-
line boy don't grow on bushes these
days. and the times Luke is beaten
are far and few between.
Latest in "Fiops"
After starting off poorly in his
bout with Tenner, barnett managed
to travel along through five rounds

footwork. Then, IN the sixth round.
for some reason or other, known
only to himself. Barnett pulled a
"fiop" and fell flat of his hack, APP
parently the victim of a Knockout.
Ringside fans didn't see the blow.
and there was probably no more sur
prised man than Luke Tenner him
self, who was supposed to have de-
livered the knock -eut punch. Tommy
Tompkins, referee. looked puzzled,
then turned to Tenner, as II to ask,
Did you hit him." That's really
what Tompkins asked, he later
stated.
Nav, l didn't hit him hard enough
for that" answered Tenner, or words
to that effect.
Then Tompkins waved Tenner to
his corner, and himself leaned
against the ropes. waiting for Bar
nett to wake up. All the while the
Batter was flat OF his back, his eyes
shut. his breath coming in labori-
ously. A.
After a. few seconds of this comic
situation, Barnett opened his eyes,
looked at Tommy, looked at Tenner,
then sat up. Tommy waved him to
arise, and the Battler obeyed. Tomp-
kins started the boys off again, and
the gong sounded soon after. And
that'sl the substance of the grand
stand piay"sof Battling Barnett.
Barnett Really Won
During the remaining four rounds.
Barnett, after being advised that he
must fight or suffer the conse-
quences. waded into Tenner and
really rushed the Carolina boy off
his feet. Barnett had the best of
the milling by a wide margin, and
was really winner at the end
OF the ten rounds.
Tommy Tompkins, refereeing the
bout, stated that Barnett was win
ner on points, Dut tnat ne couiun |
see his way clear to give the fight
to the Albanian, after the flop he
had staged. So Tommy called the
bout draw and Battling Barnett
lost victory by bit OF side play.
Luckie Tenner showed ability as A
scrapper. He really forced the fight
Ing during the first five rounds and
took three out of the ten rounds.
Barnet had four and three were even.
Tenner displayed a hard right upper
cut that gave the Albanian trouble
part of the time, while Barnett had
a swinging style of smuggling. once he
opened }up. that seemed to get the
best OF Tenner. Lnkie's woundage
included a cut left eye and bruised
face.
But Barnett couldn't see his way
clear to stay on his feet, and Tommy
Tompkins couldn't see his way clear
to give the fight to the Atlantan.
