 Vanderbilt took ten first places to Sewanees four.
 In the 100-yard dash, half mile, mile and two mile runs and the 22o- yard low hurdles, Vandy took both places. while Sewanee took both in only the shot-put.

MYSTERY CAR, WITH GREAT SPEED, ENTERS BIG EVENT

The other invention concerns the ignition system-aubstitutio of an alternating current for the direct. Lehman says the theory has been used in a scattered way, but never with the success that he has achieved with Wehr's motor. Both have labored here together for eight years. Alternating ignition means higner speed, twin sparks and working from q single break, eliminating the biting of the spark points.
 Wehr and Lehman have combined d their two perfected ideas in car that will be shipped to Indianapolis tomorrow. It's unusual speed quail fications, sent in advance, caused laughter, then eonsternatiou among automobile experts who learned of the entry The race this year is open to cars of 1s0 cubic inch motors. The Wehr motor Is only l20 cubic inches.

 Neither Wehr. Lehman, nor l.. F. Com, who is managing their affairs, would talk about the speed of uhe racing car they have fabricated, but there are reliable reports that 1t has registered between 110 and 120 miles an hour. It has been tuned up only in the dead of night on lonely roaas about New York to aid in keeping the secret. It has 2 5-1s inches base, and 3-4 stroke.
 The car will be tine most unusual on the Indianapolis track. 1t is a single scatter and will carry no mech- anician, only Frank l.. Davidson, a well-known dirt track pilot, at the wheel. After the car is shipped to Indianapolis tomorrow. Wehr, Leh- man. Com and Davidson will im- mediately follow.

 The Louisville boy has been fight ing four years, having engaged in over tS0 fights. Red Herring started the youngster off on his ring career four years ago, and Red is respon- sible for Armstrong being matched with Wilson. Herring recommended that Patsy McMahon be brought down here to fight himself and B. A. c. officials were so well pleased with Reds recommendation that his word is good for several more scraps.
 'If Herring 0. Ks Armstrong;, he ought to be good boy" was the comment Of a B. A. c. boxing official yesterday in discussing the new match, and added that Herring knew how to pick the good ones.
 Tommy Tompkihs. B, A. c. match maker, stated that there would be four three-round bouts. as well as six-round semi-final scrap. Dummy Harrington and John McGinty will probably be rcmatched in the semi final bout.

Wilson's great victory however was unsatisfactory to the fans, who are still a bit dubious about ClRude's real ability as a serapper His de- cisive victory in his first pro bout vas so onesidded that there was the chance 10 call it a fluke. and where there's chance railbirds seize the opportunity.
 To Fight st 115 Pounds
 Agreements for the Wilson Arm strong fight call for the two scrap uers 10 weigh in at l15 pounds or lower at ringside. Wilson, is already down to that limit and will prob- ably enter the ring tipping the beam at about 1i3 or 1f4 pounds Arm strong is legitimate 11S pounder. and will probably be right up to the limit on the night of the fight.

 London critics are not enthusing over the project of the European bout They are speaking of 1t as the unwanted fight.
 There is. of course. always the chance says one of the foremost London sporting writers, that in a return meeting an opportunist, such as Carpenter, might by stalking all on one or two blows, bring off surprise reversal of the last verdict. But even in such case no real pur- pose would be served. For we know well the real relative merits of the two men Of course, with the fight arranged. it would be avoided, or l hope 1t would be, by the true boxing public, leaving support for the bout to come from those gulled by the notwithstanding press. who will be assured the privilege of paying huge sums to see an exhibition between two star music hall artists.

 Brushing Up on Game
 Many wondered at the scarcity of some of the best players in town. when the galleries following the woman's Tournament this week were reviewed. The truth about the mat ter is that some of the best players In the Magic City passed up wit messing the play for the woman's championship in order to go out to Roebuck. to Hilicrest and Woodward. in an effort to brush up on their game before play in the invitation tournament got going. They will also spend the early part of this week getting up on their game for the supreme test, for which large en- tries from nelghboring states fore cast. II means thGt the best Birmirg- ham has to offer Tn the way of golf ing talent will have to be at the top of their game If the Magic City is to produce the winner of the tourna ment.

 Atlanta had things all her own way in the campaign for feminine golf supremacy, and Is one wag ap;ly put 1t. 1t would have been a great sa wing or expenses had Mrs. Lowndes, Mrs. Paine. Miss Mayer and Mrs. Williams fought 1t out for the high est golf honors In the south on their own Atlanta course in East Lake.
 Golf has reached greater poou- larity here than ever before. Interest was high all week during the wom- ans tournament. With a large num- Der playing the Hiilcrest course daily. much enthusiasm at Woodward, and the old reliable entry list from Roe- buck and the Country club. 1t looks like there will be the greatest as sembly of local golf talent in the tournament at the Country club thisf week than on any tourney ever held In Birmingham before.

DEMPSEY READY. TO TRIM WILLS, SAY DOPESTERS
Jack Kearns Is a Busy Man, Scouting Around
 For Bouts
By SPARROW M'GANN Special Correspondent of The Age -HeralJ, Copyright, 1922. by The Ago -Herald)

New \ ork, May 20.--Jack Dempsey is back again. Incidentally Jack kearns is back. too. Don't over look Jack Kearns. Without the agile and cbullient Kearns. Dempsey would be like mandolin player with a broken pick. Kearns belongs to no union. but he is master bu 'lder, all right. He builds big money fights for his' ace Kearns is such good builder that had he been in this country the proposed Bren- nan-Dempsey fight in the open air at Michigan City would not look such pork and beans affair as it does now.
 We don't know how Kearns would have made it look any better, but he would. He has the knack. Watch and see what he does. TO watch kearns work is almost as good as seeing Dempsey fight. Better, sometimes. The Wills battle project will be worth watching. too. Build ing on that fight to date has lain along lines of having it appear that Dempsey is just wee mite afraid of Harry. Which he isn't. He has the up and down on that blackbird.
 Two years ago Wills would have given Jack better run than he will be able do today. The two Jacks--Kearns and Dempsey-know that. Dou didn'to see Dempsey fight ing Wills two years ago, did you? Now the firm Is ready for Harry any time that anybody will put up & big enough sum of money to make the battle worth while. Wonder what Kearns will do when he sees oposi- tion to mixed bout developing in Canada. as 1t has in the past week?
 Another International Go
 Meantime the Carpenter Dempsey bout is set for England in the fall. Whether it Is held or not depends upon many things. It seems to be certain that Carpenter will come over here to meet the winner of the Tunny-Greb fight next Tuesday night at the Garden. There would be big money in such a battle-it would, indeed, be a small battle of the cen tury, and not so small at that.
 With Carpenter slowing away his man in fine fashion then the Demp- .sey- Carpenter fight will go big

ruptng the leather In a way that was entirely unexpected, Ems has clouted 1854 in the averages thus far.
 Our old friend Pat Duncan, who used to flag flies in Maley's out field. Is away to a good start, too. hitting .336. Irish Meusel, an other former Baron. now with the Giants, Is hitting at a .327 clip, while the popular Billy South worth Is slamming 'em out at a 1908 gait. This gives Moley four former outfilders in the Ma tional who are hitting well above the 300 mark. speaks pretty well for the Baron boss, when 1t comes to pinking 'em.
 Pie Traynor, whom the local fans are following, has also pick ed up on his hitting of late and is now boosting .275 mark. They never figured that Pie would hit 300 in the majors, but he may fool 'em yet.
 Rig Phil Leads Way
 Down here in the Southern league the phenomenal pitching of one Philip Morrison is the fea- ture of the race of averages. Big Phil has pitched 10 games for Moley this year. Of the 10 he has dropped but one. With nine vc- tories and lone defeat he stands out head and shoulders above anything the Martin circuit has to offer. Just think where he would finish if he kept up his present gait. And as the summer. advances pitchers arms are sup posed to get better and hits to. come fewer and further be- tween.
 Red Lucas of Nashville. who started out like he might give Phil duel for the rest of the season. and who had seven straight wins to his credit, has run afoul of some wicked bud geons recently. and lost three games in a row.
 The old reliable, Rube Robin- son, who has the number of al- most every club Tn the league, is also up near the top among the pitchers, as usual. with six wins and but one loss.
 Sally Lcsguer to the Fore
 Red Mccormick. who stepped out of Sally league unie after the season started and donned the Nashville livery, has con tinued to bombard Southern league pitching with the regular ity with which he went after the Sally fingers. For t2 games Mce Cormick hit .667. Taylor, Silva and Neun continue to top the 300 mark. with the Mobile Bears top ping the league in team hitting.
 
 kircher Up to New Tricks
 Those who saw the Birming- ham Independents play In Gads- den Thursday and Friday say that George kircher stopped the game two or three times with his funny antics. Players and spec tators alike took their minds off the game to watch Georges clowning for awhile. George will be his best In Camden the next three days. His Independents also play in Uniontown. Selma, Living ston and York before returning home.

Osiing American Lenguers
 Quite interesting to take q peep at the batting leaders in the American league There is Reggie Stephenson. the former Alabama star, f'rinstance. Reggie Is leading the league with 8 swatting average of 800. In other words, he's hit as many as he's missed hitting safely. And. yet, Reggie is only a sub, warm ing the bench for a greater part of the time. The pity of it all Is that there are two or three, clubs In the league who are not men as the Indians, who would give their right eyes and a cat aract or so to boot to have Reggie so they could play him regularly. Just one of basebalps little pranks that plays havoc with a fellows diamond career.
 sisler Is next In line in the American league with .442. Noth- ing phenomenal about that. Everybody expected him to. be.
 But, just look who the third man is-Tyrus Raymond Cobb, greatest player of all time. who las turned his bad eye to the milestones. They've been busy counting Ty out for several years, OH account of his age. Yet. with managerial worries and fight with Daddy Time, he has managed to hit third in the junior major and sports an aver age of AIS.
 A cast-off who sold for a pal try ten thousand bucks and who was not good enough to make the regular Athletics. but who is now recognized as one of the Yankees best offensive men. Whitey Witt is the fellow who Is sporting a .407 average. Fifth Is Bing Miller. ex-king of the circuit clouters of the Southern league. while with Little Rock Washington didn't think a great deal of BIng. and he was traded. Today he Is fifth among the league hitters with .39s.

 Just a few days ago an Att lanta dispatch said that Presl- dent Spiller of the Cracker club was negotiating for the services of Bert Griffith. former Baron. who is with the Brooklyn club. On the face Of things it would seem that Boss Spiller was suffering from a arainstorm. Wonder how he expected to get the man who is leading the National leagne in hitting for a Class A outfit? Bert. who has been working in the outfieid and at first base in 16 games for the Dodgers. is hitting only Afr. This is enough to lead the league, however.
