BINKLEY-LEWIS BOUT AT B. A. (.
 MONDAY NIGHT
Ohio State Grappler Threw Gobar, the Hindu, In
 Nashville Bout

Cliff Blnkley, who meets Strangler Ed Lewis at the Athletic club Mon day night in a finish match, proved too much for Goho Gobar the Hindu wrestler, a couple of nights ago In Nashville, when he downed the Hindu for the first fall In 2s minutes, and after 10 minutes of wrestling for the second fall, the Hindu was disquaii- fled for repeatedly using the stransle hold, which was barred.
 The Hindu, who had beaten his first I two opponents in Nashville, was given a severe setback as he was doped by all to win Blnkley made decided hit in the Tennessee city, and has all ready been requested to return at an early date.
 It Is hardly expected that Binkley will beat Lewis next Monday, but 1t 1 is expected taht he will give Lewis a merry time for awhile and 1t should be an exhibition well worth seeing. Binkleys speciality Is body-scissors hold, which he used to such good ef- feet here against Farmer Bailey and against the Hindu at Nashville last night.
 To look at Binkley in hls ring toss' one would think he lacks muscles due to his soft skin, but once in ac- ton his arms and legs fairly bulge with muscles. and he possesses about | as much strength as anyone seon here in years, BinlSley is an all-round athlete, having served four years as director of athletics at the Colum bus, Ohio, Athletic club. He was also one of Jack Dempsey's trainers when Dempsey was training for his battle with Jess Willard at Toledo. He starred with ohio State university at a footballer while in school. Binkley made a number of friends in hii match here last Monday and will un' doubtedly make several more against Lewis, even though he loses, as he is always In there trying and giving his best. Tommy Tompkins, who is getting up the preliminaries for the coming match, is making an earnest endeavor to bring together Claude 1 Hendricks and Mike Forbes in the seinifinal. This match should bs A bumdinger If arranged.

Central High Cage Team Rounding
 Into Shape

The Central High school five, which has been working out for several weeks at the B. A. C., is now begin ming to look like a real basketball team, and there is hope beginning to rise in the Central camp that the Crimsons might have & team equal to that of last year. The Centralites have not finished their schedule yet, but they have arranged a few games. and while none of them loom up as anything in the way of a Herculean fraeas for the Meyers five, all of them should be enough to test the strength of the Crimsons to a great extent.
 The first game will be played Fri day against the Shades-Cahaba High school team, and while the Crimsons are the favorites to win. the game should not be a walk away for them. The Mountaineers have. not had a very good court to practice in, but. even at that. they have been work
 ing hard and have team that should make Central hustle all of the time. Mortimer Jordan of Morris, Dora, Wetumpka, Alliances~ Leeds. Shelby County and Disque are the other teams that Central will play. All ot these games will be played at home and should be hard ones for the local ] five, and on top Of that Coach Mey- | CTS will have some other games for his huskies. so the Crimson should have a pretty tough schedule this ] year.
 The Crimson schedule at present is as follows:
 | January 13-Shades- cahaba. January 21-Morris High. January 2S-Dora. ! February 4-Wetumpka. February 10-Shelby County. l February 11-Alliance. 1 February 17-Leeds. March 4-Disque.

GEORGIA TECH JACKETS
 INVADING BIRMINGHAM;
 PLAY CLUBBERS TONIGHT

ton and Baby" Roane hold down the guard positions.
 For the Clubbers, the usual line up will probably open the game to- night. Chisholm and Staplston will start at the forwards. Stapleton made a great showing against Camp Benning by his defensive work after he entered the contest. He put an Immediate quietus on the scoring rumpus the Jackets were creating.
 Bryan, Baker and Holt will be in line for the center position tonight. Bryan will probably start the con test.
 A Reliable Pair
 Clemmie Laughinhouse and Nor man Mandy will start at the guards. With Glenn furnishing the defensive end of the guard game and Mandy playing roaming position, this pair has proven very valuable to the Clubbers this season.
 The game tonight will begin at S:15 o'clock and will be followed by & dance. The game Wednesday night was very well attended and a splen- did dance was staged after the game.
 The Atlanta Journal scribe seems to think that, as an Atlanta product Red Barron, star of gridiron days, will completely dazzle Birmingham fans when he appears on the B. A. c. court tonight. Here's what the Jour nal scribe says:
 Red Barron, Techs halfbaek sprinter and center fielder, may make the trip to Birmingham. For even the sight of the illustrious Red whether hespiayed the entire game or not, Birmingham folks should turn out as all Jerusalem did to see the Queen of Sheba, with pos sibly a larger attendance of the fair sex.
 Red should be as good an attrac- tion in Birmingham as the Queen was in Palestine. Solomon made his chariot races pay by having Sheba drive. so why not capitalize the fame of the sorrel-topped race horse of oh

Bv MARVIN mOARTHY


 Defeated, but not outclassed, In their basketball game with the Camp Benning outfit Wednesday night, the Clubbers are meeting their second opponent within the week tonight when they clash with the quintet from Georgia Tech of Atlanta. The Jack cts and Clubbers will start their game at SIS o'clock, and the result ing battle Is expected to be 8 classic.
 When the Yellow Jackets of Georgia Tech line up against the B. A. c. outfit tonight 1t will be tho first time In years, If ever. that d Tech team has appeared in Birming- ham, other than tho road race teams that participate in tho B. A. C.s an- nual event hero.
 Their Fame Has Spread
 The fame Of the Yellow Jackets has spread over Dixie, and local fan dom is eager to see R Tech team of any kind in action. The Jackets are said to have a corlSing good basket ball outfit this season, so the Att lanta institution should be well rep resented on its first invasion of the Magic City.
 The Clubbers perhaps played their best game of basketball against the Soldiers of Camp Benning Wednes- day night, but were defeated by q classler aggregation. The Soldiers displayed splendid team work and shooting ability. and the locals couldn't stop them. However, the showing made by the Clubbers was encouraging to local fans. as, for ths | first time, tho local basketeers | played tho game of which they are l capable.
 | Jackets Arc Strong
 Tech has a good quint this season, with such stars as Brewster and Sta 1 ton In the lineup. These two cage sters are veterans with the Jackets Brewster plays a good game at for ward and has a prep school star Jenks, as his running mate.
 At center the Jackets have rangJ basketeer named Bedford, while Sta

that time as nothing short of marvel When he fliyYered last year the fans couldn't understand what was the matter.
 Moley Is hoping that his arm will come around all right and that he will duplicate the form he showed in 1920. The Baron man ager will go about training Bill in A cautious way this spring, and will not allow him to put any stuff on the ball while the weather Is still cool
 The local magnates think they put over a neat coup on the Galla- gher-Statham swap. Tommy could never seem to get going here, and many fans were on hls neck. When Bosses Smith and West learned they could send him to Nashville for Statham on an even swap they lost little time in clos- ing up the deal
 Wheeler Will Not Return
 It isn't probable that Floyd Wheeler, who pitched such good ball for the Barons after he came here from New London, Conn.,, last summer, will return to the Ba- ronial camp. He belonged to Pittsburg, and the Pirates merely sent him here to help the locals out when 1t developed they were in urgent need of a winning pitch CT. Floyd will go to the Pirate camp at West Baden in few weeks. and If he fails to land regular berth with Gibson, the chances are he will serve in class A company during the 1922 cam paign.
 However, it Is known that should Moley's prospects fail to come through, Birmingham may count on aid from the Pirates. The Pittsburglars would send one or two winning pitchers here should 1t ever come to a show down where Moley just had to have endorsements.
 Two Rocks Look Good
 Early last summer Moley was forced to send Eddie F'renick to the Piedmont league. Eddie had a steellike arm, and knew how to put lots of stuff on the ball, but he didn't have the generalship and poise necessary in class A com pany. From the very first day he landed in the Piedmont league he began to set the loop on fire, and he went at such a hair-raising pace up there that Carlton is counting on Frenick making some right-hander hustle for job this spring.
 Nichols is still another man sent to the Piedmont league who shone with the luster and brilliancy of Kohinoor. Nichols joined the Barons late and spent his time sitting on the bench. He was a semi-pro. and Moley, although in need of pitchers, was afraid to take a chance with him. There fore he shipped him to Carolina.
 Dock Newton, on the BaroniaI reserve list, pastimed with the Orlando club last season, after being let out by Birmingham. Dock Is eligible to apply for berth with the Moleyian forces, though 1t is not known whether he will avail himself of the op- portunity or not. Dock is now in the real estate business in Bir mingham, and may become SO successful in the business venture that he will have no desire to re- enter professional baseball.

Eberhard n Sure Thing
 Mike Eberhard, who pitched such good ball for the locals last season and who won such raft of friends here. even though he came on after the start of the season, Is the outright property of the Barons and will be here when the first tap of .ne gong sounds for spring training.
 Mike pitched grand bali for Moley last year. and should go even better the coming summer, now that he has learned the pe- culiarities and weaknesses of Southern league batsmen. Phil and Mike will give Moley two tried and true veterans in the risht-handed department.
 
 Two Eefties in Camp
 Lefty Whitehill. who pitched such good ball for the Barons last summer and who was reported fla vorably by Pittsburg scouts, will be back for another fling in the minors before he graduates from class A baseball and takes up his permanent work in major league camp. The return of Whitey will give Moley three de- pendable men, who have pitched Southern league baseball and who have measured up to all require ments
 Recent dope on Roy Meeker, however, would tend to show that the former little Baron side wheeler Is going to give someone a run for the money in the job hunting department this year. Roy worked for Mother Ryan'H club In the Virginia league last summer and was recognized as one of the topnotch performers of that circuit. As matter of fact, Colonel Quack, commenting the other day On the work of Meeker, said that a Pittsburg scout trailed his club several weeks last sum- mer, and finally wrote the Pitts burg management that Meeker would make a winner in the ma Jors If his size wasn't against him. That was one on the scout, the ivory hunter being ignorant of the fact that Meeker belonged to Bir- mingham-an ally of the Pirates.
 The Case of Red Bates
 Red Bates, the local phenom, who is spending the winter at Cliff. just & few miles out of Bir- mingham. pitched such marvellous ball for the Griffin, Ga, club in the Georgia State league last summer that Baron officials are already coming to look upon Red as fixture for the 1922 campaign.
 There has never been any doubt about Reds stuff or his fast ball. All that was necessary to make him class A performer was the brushing off of the rough spots by year in the bushes. Moley figures a year under Shutter Matthews has made Red efficient for Southern league work. If the lanky local comes through as ex- pected, it will mean the Barons will get started on the spring work with four dependable men in camp, something that hasn't happened in years.
 Statham Might Show Reversal
 Bill Statham, the new Baron pitcher who was swapped by the Nashville club for Tommy Gala gher. suffered a disastrous cam paign while defending the Vol colors last summer. sore arm, overwork and poor handling col laborsted on making Bill ineffec- tive. The season before he grad uated from the Augusta club in the Sally league went to Nash . Vflle and won seven straight games in the latter part of the season. He was looked upon at
