KILBANE C RIQUI| BOUT PRACTICALLY. CLOSED FOR MAY
By Associated Press

PARIS, Dec. 15.-A meeting be- tween Johnny Kilbane and Eugene Criqui for the featherweight cham pionship of the world has practical ly been decided upon, the bout to be held at the Polo Grounds in New York on May 30 next
 Criqui's manager, Robert Eudeline, today cabled Jack Kearns authorizing him to accept an offer from Tom O'Rourke, New York promoter, with a slight modification as to the di- vision of the gross receipt, which Eudeline feels certain ORourke will accept.
 O'Rourke, who holds Kilbane's sig nature, offered Criqui 20 per cent of the gross receipts. Eudeline has been holding out for 20 per cent for his man, but now offers a compromise at 221 per cent. leaving all the other details, such as the motion picture rights. to be debated when he reaches New York.
 Criqui and his manager plan to sail for America about the end of February, going from New York to Florida. where they will spend March and the first two weeks in April. then moving north to begin training for the meeting with Kilbane.

Golf has changed the vacation map.
 Business and professional men have discovered that golf gives them opportunity to enjoy vacation at the time of year vacation will yield them the maximum benefit.
 We all eat too much" . lawyer friend of mine remarked the other day. and particularly do we suffer from this weakness in the winter. In the summer we get a great deal of outdoor life, and a man really does not need a vacation. at all. He does need 1t in the winter, and can get the greatest good out of 1t then. because he should, for his health's sake, break the close confinement to busi- ness and its attendant lack of exer- else. About the only time the aver age business man Is outdoors at all in the winter time is when he rides to his office in closed car"
 Golfers Coming south

 All of the excellence of tho migra- tory law in preventing the improper inducement of athletes to leave one school and enter another was re- tained but an amendment was adopted to lessen the unnecessary rigor of this law.
 student who goes from one coi- lese to another is now barred from participating in any branch of ath- letics in which he took part at his first school. He can. however, take part in any branch of athletics in Which he did not play at the school he first attended.
 After much discussion a regulation was adopted which requires stu dent to obtain permission from his faculty committee on athletics before he plays on any summer baseball team. On his return to college In September summer baseball player must submit an affidavit that he did not receive any pecuniary compensa- ton whatever for his playing.
 About Summer Baseball
 If an amateur wishes to retain his standing and yet play baseball for business house in which he may be employed through the vacation, he may do so provided that he is not paid more than a man In the same work who does not play bah and that he Is not paid for overtime No conference athlete may play with any league under the national com mission.

 Practice has been held every day this week in an effort to bring the team back to top form, after the 10- day lay-off following Thanksgiving. All fear of the team going stale has been dispersed and the intense rival ry for a number of positions on the team has put just the proper amount of fight into the squad to keep every one on his toes. Practice will take place on Monday and Tuesday. and the football party of 22 players and the coaches will leave Tuesday night for Chicago. The Christmas holidays began yesterday so that the grid squad has the campus pretty much to itself
 The Squad to Go
 The probable makeup Of the squad that will be selected by Coach Eezdek to make the trip will be as fellows: Ends, Frank. Artelt.

KATE MEETS WILSON
 w 5. A. C. RING BOUT
Homer Smiles and Tom Lacey Meet in Finish Wrestling Match For City Champion ship at Club Monday Night

A return bout between two of the fastest and most sensational young boxers in the game, and a finish match between Tom Lacey and Homer Smiles-that's the layout for Birmingham ring fans tomorrow night. Two headline bouts, boxing and wrestling, have been arranged for tomorrow nights athletic show at the Birmingham A. C., and fan dom is looking for a feature show when the main matches are staged.
 Claude Wilson and Jimmy Katz. who fought such great fight at the B. A. c. several weeks ago, have been matched in return bout. and these little fellows will again test their prowess over the ten-round route. Their sensational battle In the B. A. c. ring during their first meeting has influenced fandom to predict q feature scrap when they meet again tomorrow night.
 smiles to Meet Lacey ~
 Homer Smiles and Tom Lacey. Birmingham great pair of young middleweight amateurs. will meet again tomorrow night, after an un- successful series of bouts to deter mine which is worthy of holding the city championship. This meeting will be finish, B. A. c. officials an- nounce, and will be the last these two young matmen will stage. so far as the Athletic club shows are concerned.
 It will be Birmingham's last op- portunity to see Claude Wilson in action before the popular little fly weight starts east on an invasion of the "big top." Claude has three bouts billed in eastern rings for January and his manager, Tommy Tompkins, states that Wilson will be away from Birmingham at least a month. If Claude makes good in his first three bouts up east, he will probably be given an opportunity to show what he can do in the fastest company in sflyweight circles.
 Bishop Predicts Knockout
 Jimmy Katz. the little Cincinnati scrapper. who gave Wilson so much trouble in their first meeting, staged here short time ago, is already in town, and has worked out time or two at the Birmingham Athletic club. With Katz is Biddy Bishop, his manager, handler of a well known stable of battlers. Bishop came south with Katz on his first trip here and worked ini Jimmy's corner when the latter secured a idraw with Wilson.
 At one time during that bout, Katz seemed to have Wilson in a bad way and Bishop pleaded for knock

Dixie Conference Settled
 Many Issues at Meeting

CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va, Dec. 1s. Amateur athletics in the south have been strengthened as the result of the meeting of the southern inter collegiate conference. held last week in Atlanta. according to Dr. George o. Ferguson, Jr. who attended the sessions as representative of the Un.- versity of Virginia.
 Dr, Ferguson commented on the fact that many newspapers had re- ported the delegate from Virginia as proposing to divide the conference into sections and to play games to decide championships. This report was an error, he said. The proposal came from the University of Mary land, and while Dr. Ferguson did re- port it to the convention he did so only in his capacity as chairman Of the committee on constitution and bylaws. which reported all amend ments to the convention.
 Virginia's delegate voted with the majority of the college representa- lives against playing for the cham pionship.
 Most Important Questions
 Summer baseball and the migra- tory law were most important among the matters discussed, said Dr. Fer guson upon his return. Much time was spent in debate over these ques- tons which were disposed of in a

 Wilson has been keeping in condi- ton, despite his brief lay-off from the ring game and should in in shape to set a whirlwind pace for the ten rounds tomorrow night, if the bout lasts that long.
 Wilson will weigh In around the 114 pound mark. with Katz tipping the beam probably three or four founds heavier.

 Both Tom Lacey and Homer Smiles, clean cut a pair of young athletes as will be found anywhere. have continued their hard training and today are in superb physical shape for their bout tomorrow night days victory and each desires the Magic City title to use as stepping stone to higher things.
 The Birmingham Athletic club will award the winner of the Lacey Smiles bout tomorrow night hand some silver loving cup. which will be emblematic of the middleweight championship of the city.
 Smiles and Lacey were billed for this championship match as part of the Lukie Tenner-Battling Barnett card couple of weeks ago, but Smiles was subpoenaed for court pro- ceedings at Sylacauga and couldn't appear for his share of the festivi- ties. The bout was moved up to the next show and will take place tomorrow night.

people say a number Of women Will

friends say that such an idea Is

ing that one Of the two United States

been attacking Senator Hale because
the latter voted to seat Senator New

Maine should not vote for the re.
nomination OF Hale because he 10 a

other hand, friends Of Senator Hale
say that since his election six years

that he has been on the job all the
