I'VE have reached a new phase
in western civilization. There have
been wars of religion and dynastic
wars; there have been wars to re-
sure richer supplies of raw materials
with which to nourish trade and
commerce. The new phase is the
economic inter-dependence of Eu-

"A pact of non-aggression is fun

set as June Is.
At the suggestion of Prime Min

By EMMETT sIzEMoRE

Auburn, May 20.-tSpecial. )-John Davis of Bessemer was elected stu dent manager of the 1922 football team and George Purifoy of Brew ton was chosen to manage the 1923 baseball team. in the annual election of the student body.
 Both young men are very popular students and are just completing their junior year in college, Davis be- ing a student in civil engineering while Purifoy Is student of cleo trical engineering.
 The plan adopted last season of electing . regular student manager for each team from the junior class who will be senior during the year of his managership and with two as- sistants for each branch of sport from the junior class Is proving very satisfactory to the coaches and stu dent body. The two assistants serv- ing . year Apprenticeship receive lot of valuable experience in the capacity of manager. One of the two assistant managers will then be elected as the regular manager the succeeding year.
 Davis will have for his assistants in football Ralhp C. Brice of Char lotte, N. C.. and J. P. (Feenie) Crane of Birmingham, while Purifoys assis- tants will be B. M. Greet of Norris and Jack Wyatt of Auburn, all of whom come from this years sopho- more class.

GADSDEN BEATEN BY INDEPENDENTS;
 TOPLAY CAMDEN
Kircher and His Crew Leave For Series of Fifteen Games
 in South Alabama

After making a clean sweep of the two game series with the Gadsden Greyhounds, the Birmingham Inde- pendents returned to Birmingham Saturday for a days lay-off. Today they ship for Camden, Ala. where they start three-gam series Mon- day, playing there Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. For Thursday. Fri day and Saturday of this week they lave dates pending with the Demop oils club, which Is managed by Moon Ducote, old Auburn football star and Mobile baseball star.
 They are booked for three games with the Uniontown club in Union town Monday, Tuesday and wednes- day, May 29, 30. 31. and hop from Lniontown to Selma, where they play three games Thursday. Friday and Saturday of next week. June 1, 2, B. They play a single game with York on June 6, !, s, and may play re- turn dates with Demopolls on May g, 10 and 12. After that George Kir- cher announces that they will have no regular booking until other dates are arranged, but George says that any teams desiring a game or a series of games after the above mentioned dates should write him in care of The Age-Herald immediately, as the Independents hope to keep from two weeks to a month ahead of their bookings all the time.
 George. who Is mana ging the cluo. playing second for 1t and affording the comedy on the coaching lines thnt ad Ia fa In hA ha n league, announced Saturday that he would stand pat on his team with one or two exceptions. He has been dickering with Claude Edney and Dewey Simons and one more man to join him for the South Alabama trip, which starts tomorrow.
 The Independents beat the Gadsden Greyhounds by a one-sided score. but the second and final game was a rip shorter from start to finish, the In- dependents winning out 2-1.
 Clayton led off in the fifth inning with a two-bagger and scored ..n Bill Marstons single to center, Mars ton taking second on the throw-in. Bill moved over to third on an in field out and scored on another in- field out.
 The Greyhounds scored their only run in the ninth frame, when Cook hit a two-bagger against the fence, went to third on an infield out and scored on a sacrifice fly.
 Rip Henderson pitched for the local Independents. Rip is going to south Alabama with the boys, and when the Independents clash with Selma, Rip and Hap Henderson bothers. will engage in . pitching duel
 Kircher has a new line of comedy stunts he's offering the fans this season. and his efforts at clownine the show were a bowling success 1T the Gadsden engagement.

tional championship at St Louis, outdriving most of his opponents, equalIing most of them with the iron and outputting all of them, in- cluding the British champion, Willie Hunter.
 Chicks Victory
 Another instance Is that of Chick Evans, who knocked at the door of championship for several years be- fore he could hit his best stride at the right time. Then he not only won the national open title in 1916 with the record score of 26S but he was the first American to win both the open and the amateur titles in the same year.
 And among women once more, Alexa Sterling, after slipping at critical moments in her search for first honors, finally got her game and her luck together and won, and she continued to win until she was almost tired of it before her skill and her good luck suddenly took diff ferent times of extending their aid. She has been losing ever since.
 The chances are so great and so numerous in golf that the one of two or more equally good players who gets the break of luck is sure to be the winner, and in addition to the chances in actual play. there is the possibility that one is not at his best at the moment when his finest Is needed
 In fact, the championship contests in golf are not decisive, for there is not long enough competition among any two or more golfers to decide which would be supreme in the long, run, as there Is in baseball. where the average skill of whole season decides.

 Richardson is optimistic over the prospects for real first class track aggregation next year on the Hill top" If the boys will work. and he says that he is confident that they are going to work, for Birmingham Southern is fast making tracks as major sport in the college activities.
 This year was Richardson's first on the track team, but he was the individual star in the interclass Held meet. He comes to Birmingham Southern from Goodwater, also be- ing a star football and basketball player.

M RTIN RAISES SUSPENSIONS ON
 JUMPS AND GUYON
Crippled Condition of Atlanta Team Causes Joe's
 Reinstatement

Memphis, May 20-Suspensions irn- posed on Hadiey Williams and George Tandy, umpires. were lifted today by John D. Martin, president of the Southern association, who in a state ment issued in connection with the order reinstating the two men held that evidence submitted to him hal failed to substantiate charges made against them by President Spiiler of the Atlanta club.
 MT. Martin also issued an order re- instating Joe Guyon, an Atlanta player who recently was suspended and fined $50 because of an alleged attack on Williams in the latter's dressing room at the Atlanta park. The fine imposed on Guyon was or dered by the league executive to stand.
 MT. Martin explained in his state ment that his reason for reinstating Guyon was the crippled condition of the Atlanta, team, owing to the ill., ness of Manager Frank and other misfortunes He declared. however. that the occurrence for which Guyons was suspended was entirely unjustt- liable and unwarranted" and asserted that but for the reasons stated T would inflict 8 decidedly stronger penalty
 Charges made by President Spiller, on which two umpires were sus- pended pending an investigation fol- lowed the suspension of Guyon and alleged, according to Mir. Martins statement, that "the cause of the trouble was that Handy and Williams had been in Atlanta more than A week half drunk and had whisky in their dressing room" The league executive held that the charges were not sustained by the evidence and in his ruling Mir. Martin declared the umpires not guilty.
