IN CLASS BATTLE

The lovely freshmen at least rose
one notch at Birmingham southern
college yesterday, when they won the
right to meet the juniors tomorrow,
by smashing through the sophomore
opposition to a Is to victory. 1t
marked the opening of class foot
ball at Sunshine Slopes.
Through the first two periods, the
sophomore held their own and the
half ended with the teams locked in
scoreless draw, although the rats
had played most of the time in the
soph's territory.
Then at the opening OF the third
session, Sid Godbee broke away
around left end for a touchdown,
after pass for so yards and IS
yard run by Rooney had placed the
ball on the sophomore 17-yard
stripe.
The second and final touchdown
came in the final period, when God
bee again carried the ball to the
sophomores three-yard line, after he
had torn through the line for sew
eral neat gains, and Turner half
back, carried it over.
Otis Kirby, quarterback: was the
star of the sophomore machine,
tearing away for long end runs time
after time, but always lacked the In
reference to score. The game ended
with the ball on the rats six-yard
line, after Kirby had dazzled the
freshmen with two runs of % yards
each.
The work of the freshmen line
stood out, with Pritehett and Scott
smearing up many plays.
Pegrum McCreary, ha1fback for the
sophs, did good work throughout
the ball, while his tackling was also
good at times. Line-ups:

Colonel Huston to
Sell Out With the
Yanks, He States

NEW YORK, Dec. 11-Colonel I.
l.. Huston announced tonight that
he is negotiating for the sale of
his half interest in the New York
American League baseball club.
Colonel Huston said he had re-
ceived several offers, including
one from his partner Col. Jacob
! Rupert, but had, not made a de-
cision.
Il have received offers from
several sources for my so per
cent share in the ownership of the
New York American league base
ball club" said Colonel Huston In
a formal statement. Il notified
Col. Jacob Rupert of the situa-
ton and he also made me an
offer for my interest in the club.
Negotiations are still in an ex-
tremely embryonic stage and
nothing may come of the matter
whatever"
Colonel Huston declined to give
details OF the offer made by his
partner nor would he disclose
from what other sources the other
propositions emanated. Asked to
explain the motive behind his I'M
expected announcement, he said:
Il feel that | am due for a rest.
I've helped build up the Yankees
from second division position to
a two-time pennant winner now
about TO occupy the greatest
baseball stadium in the world. So.
/ think / have done enough. But
/ won't drop out until l get my
price,
Colonel Huston would not say
what he had fixed as his price.
He pointed out, however, that the
baseball values had advanced
sharply since he acquired inter
ests in the Yankees in 1915 and
the clubs attendance record in
that time had increased five fold.
Colonel Huston and Rupert
bought the Yankees from Frank
Farrell. w. S. Devery and others
for a reported consideration or
100000.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1922-12-12

1t would seem that Stump has his
following among the railbirds, il the
following letter can be taken as a
chronicles:
Having noticed in Sunday morn
ings Age Herald in write up of the
personnel of the Birmingham out
field for the coming season that the
club Is looking for more consistent
hitter than Stump Clarke.
NO doubt they might get one.
but to find one in the Southern
league would be impossible.
"Clarke made new league record
last season by hitting consecutively
in 33 games and If the records are
correct no other player in the league
came any where near his record.
Clarke is one player that has more
friends in this town than probably
some people think and his admirers
like to see him get credit where
credit is due. He is one man on the
Birmingham club that the fans are
for because of his very consistent
playing last year.

The above argument in behalf of
Clarke is the outcome of statement
that Baronial moguls are planning
a new outfield for next year. and
would probably replace Clarke in left
field with more consistent hitter,
holding Stump for utility duties.

ter regret later on.
Stump Clarke has not been able to
finish one of the two seasons with
the Barons in the regular lineup.
In 1921 he had trouble with Moles-
worth. and was suspended for the
remainder of the season. Early in
September of this year. as the 1922
year was drawing to close, Clarke,
over what he considered an unjust
arrest. following an alteration with
Sugar Kane, teammate. hurled the
ball from left field into the wire net
ting in front of the grandstand. For
that action, he was suspended for the
remainder of the season bX Joe Dunn.
Clarke has always been one of the
hardest workers and most conscien-
tious ball players on the team, and
fandom has always liked him for
his whole-souled effort to win ball
games for the Barons.
