Blanque-Stribling G Attracting Much
 Interest

Interest in the coming Blanque- Stribling bout, to take place at the B. A. c. next Monday night. is al- ready high, if reports from the Ath- letic club may be relied upon. Sec retary Woodruff states that local fans have kept him busy all week with queries concerning the scrap. He states that tickets will go on sale in a day or two.
 Blanque, while not a "knock-'em- dead" battler, Is a sturdy foeman, and Is sure to give the Macon youngster a whale of q battle. Blanque is far ahead of the youthful Stribling in matter, of experience, and is proba- bly, as skiIlfuI & boxer as the light weight champ.
 The New Orleans sailor has stood up to such men as Dummy Barring ton, Dummy Mckinney. Larry Ayera and others, and has gotten off with his share of the glory Blanque will undoubtedly prove a tough opponent for StriblinE.
 His bout with Blanque will be one of Stribling's first scraps with men in the welterweight division. Strib- ling was stepping bit high when he met Batting Budd, Lightweight, in Atlanta a short time ago, but he is going still closer towards the brink of the precipice of defeat in taking on Blanque.
 Young Stribling has licked every thing this side of the Mason and Dixon line, that is, everything in his class that cared to take a chance at him. He won the featherweight crown and is said by many sporting authorities to be lightweight king. He is now nearing the welterweight class, and will probably go after that title also.
 The Stribling- -Blanque bout will take place at the E. A. c. next Mon day night. The first preliminary bout will begin at s:So o'clock, with the main scrap coming about 9:l5 or 9.30 o'clock.
 Tommy Tompleins will referee the match as he was the only official Pa Stribling, Young Stribling's man. ager, would agree on to handle the bout.

Clubbers Win Thrilling Game From the Bulldogs
Disturbance on Court Almost Turns Into a Free-fOr-AIl SCrap-CIubbers in Great Form

After an evening of exceptional excitement, from good basketball and other sources, the B. A. c. Clubbers emerged victorious over the Bulldogs of Howard, winning by a score of 43 to 2S. The game was fast and snappy and Q disturbance that threatened to develop into a free-for-all scrap en liyened the evening almost too much.
 The Clubbers were in great form and soon after the game started they began to pile up a lead on the East Lake aggregation. The Clubbers led all the way, and so great was the jump they got on the Bulldogs early in the game that Coach Marshall's men scarcely stood a show.
 Along towards the latter part of the game, Jess Lackey of the Bull dogs and Glenn Lauglinhouse of the Clubbers came to blows on the court. Each struck a blow and were separ- ated. The crowd of fans was duieted, Lackey and Laughlinhouse shook, hands and begged each others re- spective pardons, and the game con- tinued. Buta that was not all.
 Another Scrap
 It was only a moment or two be- fore another Title knot of struggling forms appeared on the court. This time 1t was members of the crowd, and, as the struggle grew fiercer, the number of participants increased. It would be impossible to tell how the thing started, but the row gthreatened to develop into something more serious until Mac" McEachin Tommy Tompkins, Andy Jaffe, Toto Jaffe and many others intervened in favor of neutrality, and hostillties were called off, with the election of the few offending parties who were located. That ended the row, and B. 4. c. officials deserve lots of credit for the manner in which they handled the situation. Something serious might have developed had not intervention been so speedy and efficient.
 Back to the game. As said before, the Ciubbers were about the whole show, although the Bulldogs fought hard, and really deserve more than they got
 Long Distance Shots
 Some long plunks by Shores, Stubbs and Crews made the game interesting from Bulldog angle, while the steady point scoring of Norman Mandy, Clubber star, was a. feature.
 Mandy was up to his old tricks and plunkel in 23 points for the Clubbers, 1S of them from free throws. Mandy missed only five foul tries during the whole encounter.
 High Poclet Bryan was prob ably the Clubbers' brightest star. for the lanky center showed seven field goals through the hoops for total of 14 points.
 Pat Shores, Bulldogs star forward, lasted only a fraction of q quarter, for four personal fouls elected him soon after the game opened, but not before he had long-ranged two pretty field goals through the hoops.
 Crews a Star
 The floor work of Crews was ex- cellent, while Lackey and Afford played well on the defensive.
 Gillie Chislom played an unselfish game, choosing to feed the ball to his teammates rather than to fire away at the basket himself. The game was a thriller, and all most equaled the big fracas of the evening in point of interest and en- thusiasm. Lineup:

 Today

Washington, February 7.--Baseball magnates of the American league were gathering here tonight, prepar- atory to the meeting of the league tomorrow to ratify the schedule as drafted for the 1922 season..
 Club owners who had arrived to : night almost without exception pre- dicted a quiet session devoted al- most entirely to routine business. There were prospects, however. of some discussion of plans for effect ing restoration of the draft, and all though there was the usual talk of imminent trades of players the only deal of which the magnates had any definite information concerned tho New York and Detroit clubs, and even in that case the names of players in- vestigated was a matter wholly of conjecture.
 ''The magnates, it was said in some quarters, probably would visit the White House to pay their re- spects to President Harding, who Is somewhat of a baseball fan, before beginning their session scheduled for afternoon.
