National A. A. F. Is ,
 Finally Organized

Washington, May S.--The National Amateur Athletic federation was or- ganized here today by representatives of many of the athletic organizations of all sections of the country for the purpose of promoting wholesome sports in America. The action was taken at the suggestion first made by Secretary of War Weeks before the American Olympic association last November, although opposition was offered today by several delegates to adopting the proposed constitution because 1t apparently usurped some of the authority of other organiza- tions.
 Henry c. Breckenridge. former as- sistant secretary of war, was elected president. President Harding was elected honorary president. and Secre- taries Weeks and Denby and Col. Robert M. Thompson. honorary vice president. Directors chosen included J. F. Byers, United States Golf asso- ciation; J. s. Myrick. National Lawn Tennis associations; Col. Palmer E. Pierce. National Collegiate Athletic association; William c. Prout, the Amateur Athletic union, and Mrs. Herbert Hoover, president of the Girl Scouts. Elwood Brown was elected secretary and H. L. Pratt. treasurer.

T am so happy over what Tanlac has done for me 1 can hardly find words to express my praise" said Miss Marguerite K. O'Leary. who lives with her parents at 1923 Chestz nut street, Reading. Pa. T wasn't exactly what would be called sick, but for year I had been all run down and sometimes felt so weak and mis- erable I could hardly hold up my head. I was so nervous the telephone bell or a door closing would startle me so I would tremble like leaf.
 T needed something to build me up and give me strength and energy, and that is exactly what Tanlac did. It gave me a fine appetite and improved my digestion. 1 gained eight pounds, the color came back to my face, my nerves became normal and l soon felt as we'll as I ever did in my life. It is simply wonderful that medicine could make such a big change in any one. My friends and neighbors are sur prised when they see me now. and no wonder, for I look like different person. Tanlac is grand and l never intend to miss a chance to say good word about it.'

Vincent to Lead
 Simpson Cage Fiue

Charlie Vincent, all-southern school guard in basketball during past sea- son, was elected captain of the Simp- son cage quintet for next year by the letter men on the Junior Pancher squad yesterday. Vincent. playing his first year on a prep five, won great laurels during the season, and should make a great leader for the Purple Tornado" next year.
 The captain-elect was the most out standing prep school performer on the court during the past season of stellar play in high school circles. be- ing the only Birmingham man to make all-star and all-southern, the latter honor being won at Auburn.
 He played center on the Simpson quint last year. but will probably be shifted to guard next season by Coach Reynolds, provided a suitable center can be obtained. The lack of good pivot man was the cause of vincent's playing the post last season.

Sentiment seems divided between the 300 or more fans who saw last nights bout, some claiming great honors for Claude Wilson. and other shouting back, There's something rotten in Denmark" Sc there you are. A chronicle of what happened after the semi-fina1 at the B. A. c. follows:
 Claude Wilson entered the ring, looking positively husky beside the slim, delicate appearing young rel low who sat in the other corner and whose name was announced as Frankie Britt, and Claude is really built along slim lines himself. Weights were announced as Wilson i12, Britt Ill. Britt was sent back to the dressing room to put on pro- tector, a precaution all ringmen of any experience at all employ.
 Britt Starts Well
 The gong sounded and Wilson met his opponent in the middle of the ring. Claude fired the opening gun, & heavy left above the heart. Britt came back with left tap or two, and husky right to the jaw, blow which Claude afterwards admitted hurt.
 Wilson sailed Tn iahaeu coupi' of rights to the body, and went Into AE half clinch. With one arm free, Claude battered eight or ten suc- cessive left to the face, and Britt ap- peared a bit groggy. After the break k-away, Claude rammed his right into the solar plexus, and Britt fell to the floor. Referee Red Her ring counted nine above him, and the visiting sorapper arose. Claude sail ed in, landed another right to the oody. a left to the face, and crash- ing right to the jaw. Britt fell sprawling, and was counted out by Referee Herring. He was helped to his feet, staggered around second or two, and was helped to his corner.
 Throughout the performance, Britt was continually chewing vigorously on a wad of gum, and his mouth was

 Really Knocked Out
 There seemed to be little doubt about his being knocked cold. Britt's eyes had that fixed, sunken appear ance that only inconsistencies pro- duces, while he was being counted out. Claude socked him good and proper, and it Was a legitimate knock
 1 Here's what puzzles the railbirds: Is Claude Wilson world beater? Did he catch a really top notch man off his guard and score a brilliant knock out? Or, was the young fellow in the ring last night really the first. class fighter Frankie Britt was advertised to be? It would be hard to say what fandom thinks, railbirds probably don't know themselves, for Britt started off like an old-timer, and seemed to know what he was about. On the other hand, he certainly didn't stand up to Wilson's slugging like an experienced ringman. He looked like a beginner. That brings up the old question. Tt Wilson really good, CT was his opponent faker?'
 Claude Showed Up Well
 There's no doubt about the splendid showing of Wilson last night, and it seems that he is an unfortunate vic tim of circumstances Claude's socks had unusual steam about them, and he ttore In like an timer. The bout was a success, so far as Wilson lis concerned.
 No one seemed more surprised over the outcome of last nights bout than B. A c, officials.
 well, can you beat that?v was the astonished ejaculation of Tom my Tompkins when Britt had been counted out, and Tommy was genu- inely amazed.
 With such true sportsmen as Roy Cohen handling boxing at the B. A. C.. fandom seems unanimous in the decision that the Athletic club had nothing to do with the unfortunate outcome of last nights exhibition, and that local officials were abso- 1utely sincere in advertising Claude's opponent as no set-up.
 Britts Statement
 After things had quieted down. Britt rose from his chair, and ad- dressed the crowd:
 Birmingham has a good boy in this Wilson. I did the best I could, but the kid is too good for me-" and perhaps it would be best for railbirds to accept that as final.
 B. A. c. officials would do well to put Claude on in another main bout, for his showing last night certainly justified 1t. The try-out the local boy received was not fair one, though the blame can be attached to no one. and railbirds would proba- bly welcome the opportunity to see him in action against a top notch boy.
 Harrington Beats McGinty
 After fighting five rather ragged rounds, Dummy Harrington opened up In old slugger style in the sixth last night, and almost scored knockout over John McGinty. It was the semi-final bout, and was Dum- my's first come back appearance since his accident several months ago.

A Wartime Investm ent
 for the Government

Continuing his testimony with reference to the Gorgas Steam Plant and the events that led to the construction of the Govern ment unit on the foundations which had heretofore been laid by the Alabama Power Company, Colonel Joyes said:
 ''Having those things foundations, substructures, canal, etc.), it meant a considerable gain of time for us,s and time was a great thing with us, ,be- cause we wanted the power in six months. We wanted to be sure that when we got that plant we would have this steam station ready to back it up and not have it fail on us because the river was low. So that was quite an object.
 Tt meant not only taking a piece,of land, so much area of land, but it meant taking a particular piece of land with certain structures belonging to the Power Company already in the ground, and that is the situation that made it so particularly delicate and difficult for us, and reasons which think will clear any mind that may still have the idea that there was de- liberate mixing and interlocking of things that was objectionable.
 "We started in there then to build this addition, tying it right into the other unit that the Alabama Power Company already had, so that the two could work together. You could not have the two separate plants feeding power into the same system unless you had certain clements of control co- ordinated. <
 "To make power, alternating cur rent power, with high potentially, you have got to have it very carefully synchronized before you can put the output from two machines into the same line. It has to be either in one plant or you have to have more ex- pensive and troublesome installation co-ordinating it in two separate plants.
 "So naturally we built it to go right into the one thing and make a unit that would be efficient and ready, and especially we were encouraged to do that because that gave us very proper and correct outlook to get some money back for the United States.
 Tn many cases when we went in at that time to put in additional facilities to get what the Government had to have, we thought, This is all lost money; this is sunk. It is an expense account and not an investment, and we will never get any of it back but here we had an assurance of getting some of 1t back. :"
