Rr MARvIN M,CARTHY

The caged Tigers of Alabama Poly invade Birmingham Saturday night. tn the only sport even Of major i'm portance here this week. Catch Hut sells Auburn basketteers will be pitted against the B. A. c. Clubbers in the annual game between the two teams.
 There are mo wrestling or boxing meets scheduled for Birmingham this week. and all that will occur to en- liven the scene for local sport follow CTS will be several prep cage battles, the weekly meeting of the two bas- ketbalI league and the final event of the week Saturday night, the Auburn B. A. C. encounter.
 While Catch Hutselrs aggregation has lost two or three games this sea- son, the Tigers are not to be taken too lightly, as the Auburn basketeers have lots of power. and all they lack is the ability to get started together to keep up the teamwork
 Need Experience
 Aubursn's baS1x etball problem is the same this year a 8 Alabamas football situation was last fall--a bunch of new men on hand, with lots of prom ase, but needing the experience and teamwork All of this will come later. and then the Tigers must be watched.
 In Hahn and Dudley, Hutsell has a pair of fine shots. Fred Hahn is a brother of the famous Hub Hahn, for snerly of Auburn but now with the Atlanta A. c. Fred Hahn Is a Bir- mingham boy, a graduate and former star of Central High school.
 Harrison, at center, is captain of tho team. He plays good game of baslse tball, and shows promise of de- Neloping Into one of the best pivot men in southern college circles.
 Thigpen and Duke hold down the varsity guard positions. Both are good, fast men, who work hard and should give the B. A. c. forwards trouble.
 Coach Ervin's men should be in prime shape for the game Saturday, as Mandy and Moughon, who were in- dured. are both rounding into shape and will be able to give their best in the Auburn game.
 One of the biggest dances of the B. A. c. season is being planned for Saturday night, as Auburn is always a great favorite here, and good crowds always attend Auburn games, whether theySbe football, basketball or baseball.

Jack McAuliH Looks Like
 Real Prospect 10 Corbett

Of course, what fellow does in the gymnasium and what he does in .the ring are things vastly different. I've seen some fighters who, in the gymnasium. looked like world beat CTS. Trotted before an audience, they were terrible. The only explanation in those cases is stage fright of per manent nature.
 McAuliffe, of course, is subject to a stage fright attack. And likewise, when he meets some tough citizen in the ring he'll find the going whole lot tougher than he's found in mixing it with the boys in daily workouts But somehow I feel that McAulffe. when he begins to get some real chances, Will demonstrate rather sud- denly that he is a natural born fight er-and great one.
 It's all up to Shaughnessy right now. If he sends the kid along slow ly and lets him fight some soft ones until the kid gets the needed experi- ence and confidence. it may not be long before he has moved up to rank ing near to Dempsey. But if Shaugh- messy had gone through with his idea of sending the youngster after Knockout Bill Brennan it might have
 
 Brennan Too Classy Yet
 Of course, if MeAulffe had beaten Brennan, it would have made him a sensation overnight But McAuliffe. great as he may be as a fledgling, would certainly experience a rough voyage if he were sent against Bren- nan at this time. For Brennan is one of the smartest fighters in harness, one of the toughest hitters apd one of the hardest to knock over.
 McAuliffe is one of the best look ing heavyweight prospects I've seen for long time. He seems to have every natural asset. Handled per fectly, he might be able to fight his way along in year or two to a point where he's entitled to crack at the champion of the world. It'll be inter- estinS to watch his career.

mHsfHAhAHD W.. mH. bD DNhEh
 We have all played unusual shots at unexpected moments. We have all dreamed of marvellous ones that gave the game a thrill, and we know that the wonderful shot comes when least looked for and the shot hoped for usually fails us entirely. Our old, perpetual Mir Bunker and MT. Haz- ard have a lot more to do with this than we perhaps expect because these two gentlemen are kin of the un- desirables Mir. Slice and his irritat- ing brother-in Jaw, Mr. Pull.
 MT. Hazard and MT. Bunker are al ways around when freak shots are made. So in this article perhaps 1t will be just as we'll to let them do the talking.
 "one terribly hot Saturday after noon," quoth Mir. Hazard, "the finals were being played for a Philadelphia club championship-the game sec sawed until finally there were four holes to go. was four holes up with my man and had but two to go Then, Mir. Bunker's man took two holes by good play and the added help of some unlocked for interference in his be- half by a player named Stymie. Go. ing to the seventeenth MT. Bunker stood his man Stymie in front of my player and said, Now make that
 Ut was 30 feet. My man carefully played his shot and his ball jumped Stymie but was 10 times too fast. It was dead on. however, so 1t struck ( of bif ha rd that it bounded fully six feet into the air Then. to the amazement of my self. it plunked right down into the hole.
 Again, in a local tournament match-all square and one to go, a caddie rattled his clubs slightly. Then MT Bunker's man forcibly expressed his opinion of that act and took an other practice stroke. His manner isms petrlfied the spectators. He prepared to swing nightly. Then soft summer breeze swept gently through the trees and lone leaf drifted Iazily and softly down toward him. Just as MT. Hazards man was at the instance of unwinding his downstroke the leaf fluttered down. ward in front of him and perched upou his ball. It was too late to step his swing. His shot was terrible, and hls language worse"
 These instances show how the un- expected forever steps into the game of golf These happenings add epi- sodes that are tragic at the time but are laughable afterwards. The un- usual has befallen me many times | just as 1t has everybody else.
 l 1 think tho most unusual shot evr played was a chip of 40 yards. On the seventeenth hole at Apawamis we were all square and I thought 1t was ! remarkable that my opponent could at that stage of the game play his longest iron with sufficient force to land his ball within two feet of the cup. The very sight of that shot made me sick. He couldn't miss his putt and my third was off the green to the left If I lost that hole it would be impossible. I thought to recover on the short eighteenth.
 | I shall never forget my feelings of amazement as I watched the flight of my chip-shot to the green. It sped straight to the cup. hit it, but, in stead of 'holing. 1t rimmed to the left and laid my opponent a closeup. per feet and utterly impossible stymie. 1 The hole was halved and l won the match on the thirty eighth green | Copyright, John r.

Adrfauce, Duchess, , and 4. Tutwiler,, who won the gold medal in the qualifying round, has been playing fine golf all the week. but odds were somewhat against him for the reason that he was the medalist, and, as all veterans know, the man winning the qualify ing round very seldom comes through the finals as winner of a tourna- ment.
 Tutwiler had his opponent four down on the first nine and while Adraince rallied on the home streeh, he was unable to cut down the lea: Tutwiler had piled up on him. Tut wiler weut out in A and back in 42

 Syndicates Inc) Detroit has uncovered a youthful heavyweight who gives a lot If promise.
 He's Jack McAuliffe. 20 years old, weight 200. height feet l inch-and seemingly a natural battler.
 I saw the kid more than eight months ago, when he was getting n's first real lessons in the fight game. Mart Shaughnessy, a friend of mine. had him in tow and wanted me to look him over. The boy worked out for me and, although extremely crude then, showed that he had what looked like the mal1ings.
 He's one of those likable boys the kind you want to help. And did that for him. l worked with him for an hour, showing him how to improve his footwork. which was somewhat awkward. Likewise, I showed him how to work his left hand At the time, like most nov ices, he had the idea that all q fighter needs is wallopng power in the right
 McAuliffe Improves
 Just a short time ago l was in Detroit again-and I saw vastly improved McAuliffe. The footwork of the youngster surprised me lm- mensely It hardly seemed possible that anyone could improve so vastly in so short period of time. Also, the kids left hand was working in mighty clever fashion, He had de- veloped the knack of hooking and jabbing with the same motion.
 And both the left and the right mauler carried great power.
 In the years since I quK the game I've seen lot of promising young sters, but none that impressed me more than the kid from Detroit. He's still green, stilI needs lot of tutor ing. but he seems to have the figat- ing heart and seems built for fight ing. He needs to be told of his faults but once. Then he sets about cnrrecilnc- them

SPOrtS syndicate
 Frank Troeh didn't grab off a na- tlonal trapshooting championship in 1921, but the Vancouver, wash, trap shot had an excellent year just the same. For the past eight years Troeh and his old secondhand Win chester have been going down the line winning championship after championship, grabbing off the high average honors here and there. and at the end of the season being either on the top of the heap or so close to the top that he was making it un- comfortable for the leader.
 seventy-five Long Runs
 In 1921 Troeh made 75 runs of bet ter than DO straight, which is con siderably better than his nearest competitor, F, F. Woodward of Hous- ton, Tex, who made 50 runs of bet ter than 50. Eleven of Troeh's runs were better than loo straight and one was over 200. He didn't make The longest amateur run of the year 1 That was made by E. W.
