also knows them well. He has owned some of the finest bird dogs in the south, and, aside from knowing this type well, he also knows other breeds represented in kennel show. MT. Ward has been talking the show up among southern dog owners for sev- eral months, and Is responsible for many of the entries which have al- ready come into tho Birmingham club.
 Meyers to Judge
 To assure every dog of square deal at the big pup" show, the Bir- mingham club has secured the serv- judges in the country. This man Is Elmo Meyers, who Is considered one of the best dog judges in the coun- try, having been judge at some of the biggest dog shows in the east and north. He not only knows all the dogs that Birmingham canine lovers know anything about but he also knows breeds of dogs that have never been heard of by Magic City canine experts and he is fully qualified to act as judge at big show like this.
 The show will be held in the munf- cipal garage at Second avenue and Seventeenth street, and is open to any dog of a recognized breed.
 The Birmingham Kennel club has been trying hard to get more people interested in dogs with the result that more dog lovers are appearing every day, and it should not be long before Birmingham will be up with other eities in dogdom.

James Braid, the first player ever to win the British open championship five times, probably had the most un- canny ability any golfer ever pos sessed in placing his ball so it would be in the best possible position for the next shot.
 l want to give Jimmy Braid his place in my Hall of Fame because I don't think anyone will dispute that he originated the scheme of play by which the shot beyond the shot in hand was the play to be striven for. If he did not originate this phase of the game he certainly must be cred ited with having put it to a finer use than the skill of any other player can be credited with
 Devotion to Game
 Braid also gave a devotion to the game and a dogged determination for which his skill was just reward. When Braid played the world might have ended without his knowing it.. If the Scotch put golf next after re- ligion, as has been charged, then Jimmy" Braid is the best exponent of this theory of life that I have ever known. In his play he is so absorbed that he neither sees, hears nor speaks of anything but the shot in hand.
 Braid was the first of the great British triumvirate of golf, Braid, Vardon and Taylor. This country has seen a good deal of Vardon, Taylor and Ted Ray, but Braid has always F. American and Canadian players have seen him in action
 Held English Title
 l first met Braid back in 1911, when l went to England to play in the open championship. Braid was then the holder of the title. I played with John Ball against Braid and Massy in the amateur and professional match at Sandwich. Braid won this match-and my great admiration.
 In action Braid was the opposite

The annual election of officers for the Birmingham Kennel club will take place Monday night, and if things turn out like they have started the officers elected ct this meeting will probably have more to do than any other set of officers that the club that the Birmingham Kennel club has been growing in leaps and bounds in The last year, and 1t hasn't stopped yet. The Kennel club is not only growing in numbers, but it is also growing in activity, and is fast being recognized as one of the best organt zations of its kind in the south.
 The bench show, which will be held here on February IT and IS under the auspices of the club, Is probably the biggest thing the Birmingham dog lovers have ever attempted to put on and it will be one of the biggest bench shows ever held in this section of the country. It will not only give local dog fanciers a chance to show off their pets, but 1t will also bring high brow" dogs of other cities here for the big show. With all of this show will not only be the big gest ever pulled in the state of Ala bama, but it will also rival any ever put on in the south.
 Kirby s. Ward will superintend the bench show, and with a man like him at the head of things the show seems certain of success, as MT. Ward is not only interested in dogs but he

of Vardon. l must say that l did not care for Braid's style of play as did for vardons. nor could sub scribe to Braid.s golf ideas as thor oughly as I have to vardons, but this must be said for Jimmy" Braid; No one could watch him play and not pay him the fullest respect for hts great skill, his determination and his genius for taking pains.
 Precise Shooting
 As I often watched Braid studying his ball I was struck by the contrast between his rather rugged style and the easy. smooth play of Vardon. Both men were always mechanically perfect in their stance and swing and in the rythm and timing of their shots. but Vardon does 1t all with a wonderful grace. while Braid accom- plished 1t with rough kind of pre- cision which, however contrasty 1t was with Vardon's grace, certainly got the result Braid was after--and what else counts after all?
 Braid was always upassuming and modest, and. win or lose, his serious expression never changed. In defeat he was a good loser. real sports man. He must be well into the flfties ny HOW anu adlB Sdy ht Is pl"J lhe game of the highest order today.
 So when you stand at the tee and speculate on the fairway ahead. per haps wondering just what shape you will be In when your ball ceases the flight you give 1t. possibly aiming to have 1t stop at some one general vicinity of the fairway-when you thus find yourself analysing the play ahead of you, give & thought to the master. Jimmy" Braid. and accept from me the assurance that he could put ball down there" with his club almost as if ne were permitted to place it with his hand. He was just little awkward about it, true, but the loveable Scots ball was like a trained bird-it always answered his call
 Jimmy" Braid is forever estab- lished in golfs Hall of Fame.

Clubbers Win an Easy Victory Over Mississippi Az gies, Score 35-15
Good Passwork and Accurate Shooting Feature Victory of Locals Over Mississippi Opponents Chisholm and Bryan Star on the Offensive.
 Clubbers Get the Jump

The E. A. C. five was in great shape last night, and managed to emerge victorious from a rough and tumble scrap with Mississippi A. and M. by score of S5 to 15. The game was hard fought all the way through with both sides going the limit of their speed from the beginning to end of the game. The Clubbers won be- cause they were better at guarding and managed to make their shots count more often than the Aggies.
 The game opened with the Aggies getting a slow start, and the local five getting off at speed seldom seen on the B. 4. C. court. It took the Clubbers only four minutes to have the Aggies at to dsad vantage. However, after the first few minutes the defense of the visit ors stiffened and they began to mako 1t hard for the local five to shoot, and held them much better than they did at the start. Bryan and Chisholm constituted the bigger part of the Clubbers' offense in the first half, and it was mainly through the work of these two floor runners that the lu- cal team got the jump on the A. and M. boys from the start.
 Stars of Game
 Both Bryan and Chisholm not only did splendid work In goal shooting, but they also did some good passing, and were responsible for breaking np several attempted rallies by the vis- itors. Laughlinhouse and Mandy also played well from the start of the game. At the end of the first half the score stood 20 to 8 in favor of the E. A. C.
 The second half opened with a rush very similar to that of the first half. but this time 1t was not the local boys doing all of the rushing, for the A. and NJ team was beginning to wake up, and they made things Interesting for the local five from the very start of the second half. However, the Ciubbers still had their old punch, and could not be kept from scoring. As in the first half. 1t was Bryan and Chisholm that formed the backbone of the B. A. c. offense, both of them going faster in the second half than in the first. Mough- on, who got Tn for while in the last half. played a good game the whole tune he was in, and was neck and neck with Chisholm and Bryan on the offensive. Bryan, Wilson and Laird were the men responsible for

the A. and Nj. tallies, as well as be- ing the ones to halt the drive of the local boys.
 Chisholm n Star
 Gillle Chisholm was probably the outstanding star of the game. both on the defensive and offensive. Giilie was putting the old ball through the goal from all angles, and was break ing up many good shots of the Ag- gies throughout the game. He not only did these things, but he also ran the floor and passed well. "Highpockets" Bryan was not very far behind his teammate, showing more fight and speed than he has ever shown before to a local audi ence
 Laughllnhouse was the defensive star of the B. A. C. team, and, as usual, he laid off goal shooting and devoted his time to guarding and passing. He did both of these we'll and was responsible for the A. and NJ. shooters missing many good shots Laird was the outstanding star 5f the Maroons. He not only did great work on the offensive, but he also did some fine playing on the defen- sive, being largely responsible for checking the Clubbers in the last half.
 Bryant Does Well
 Bryant was the other individual star of the Maroons, and very few guards seen here have played the game that this boy played last night A. and NJ 15) Position. D. A. c. (35) Wilson (4) .......... Chisholm (S)

 New York, December 31.-Football s greatest season comes to close on Monday. with the much anticipated intersectional contest between east and west at Pasadena, Cal, where the University of California meets Wash ington and Jefferson at the Tourna- ment of Roses. While California un- doubtedly holds the edge. the two teams are sufficiently well matched in ability to give promise of hard fought game. Both teams are pray ing for a good field, although neither is q stranger to the mud.
 The eastern team, under the tu- telage of Coach Earle Nea1e, has made great strides this season. Neale had no startling material to work with, so far as the general public knew, with the exception of two men Stein, the captain, and Erickson, in the backfield. who had played with the Great Lakes team when it came east as a service aggregation and defeated Rutgers so sensationally and later won from the Navy team at An- nopoiis Erickson was a star player then and he has continued his great work at Washington and Jefferson.
 Defeated Pitt
 With these two stars as a nucleum, Neale went to work to develop a real team, and so assiduously did he ap- ply himself to the task that his eleven administered defeat to Pittsburg and went through the season un- beaten. One other man, perhaps, should be at least known for his high qualities and that is Neale at guard, but Neale, the coach, has developed star end in Kopf, a good tackle in Wiedenerquist, and a sterling back in Brenkart. This was Kopf's first year in football and like Neale at guard he has a baseball brother, the shortstop of the Cincinnati National league team.
 In Detroit, Erickson showed his re-
