 The Argentine is enthused as it has never been enthused before,
 It's all because of Luis Firpo. the heavyweight.
 Luis became a battler down in South America and very quickly es- tablished himself as the champion of the big fellows below the Equator Gazing around for new worlds to con- quer. he jaunted to the United States, unheralded, unsung-and unmanaged. The youthful battler was laughed at when he first arrived here because he said he needed no manager-that he would handle all his own affairs In view of the fact that he had to work through an interpreter, his task of getting matches was just about as difficult as anything could be.
 But he got one-against Sailor Maxted.
 Maxted a Tough Gazabo
 Maxted had bowled over a lot of good looking youngsters, while Tar gan Larkin was doing the same thing Each was claiming some sort of championship for himself. Eventu- ally they tackled each other and Max ted bumped Larkin very much cuckoo. Possessed of that prestige, Maxted faced Firpo. the unknown. And Firpo promptly knocked out Maxted. very much to the surprise of every one concerned.
 Then along came Joe McCann, pride of Newark.
 Joe had won quite a few battles and was heralded in many ports as cer- tain great one in pugilism. When Firpo met McCann the natives thought 1t would be soft stuff for loseph. But Luis knocked out Jo- seph and right away everybody be- gan to wonder all about the South American.
 Shows Shrewdness
 A dozen men connected With pogii- ism tried to grab off Firpo and man age him. But Luis said that he could do all the managing himself. Then a few promoters tried to stick him into the same ring with Fred Fulton But

 New York. April 15.-"Bail play ers,' said Frank Snyder. catcher of the Giants, today, "are more inter ested this season than they haev been for long time in the race for the batting championship of both big leagues. l heard more talk about batting on the spring training trip than l have heard in five years. I'll tell you why. Ruth is out of the race and Hornsby and Heilman are left to make it. Probably neither Cobb nor Speaker will get in 1t if they are compelled to lay off because of in- Juries. It looks like another clean up for the right handlers if both Hornsby and Heilman stick up to the line and hit as they did in 1921"
 Players say that six weeks lay off may get Ruth so out of whask with the game that he never will get into his stide. The opinion of players about a thing of that character is well worth while. Their prophecies in regard to the chances of other players doing certain things some times are so accurate as to be un- canny. There seems to be scond sight in some of their predictions.
 Hornsby Is Fayorite
 Hornsby appears to have clean course before him to retain the Na- tional league batting championship. Everything favors him. There are no eastern batters in the National more promising than Meusel and Frisch of New York. Neither of them, however, looks like a batting leader. Meusel is too sluggish, and Frisch. who hits well. can't make the old ash ring as Hornsby does. There are two men on the St. Louis club in addi- tion to Hornsby who may crowd him more than any others, of the National league circuit. They are McHenry and Fournier. The latter had na- ture seen fit to throw about ten pounds more of steam into him, would have been one of the great players In baseball. McHenry. who was looked down upon at first by mana been mourned over many time since then by those who passed him by.
 HeiIman Versus sisler
 Heillman. In the American league. is not going to have an easier fight than he had with Detroit in 1921, and if he shows any inclination to start slower than he did last year, he may have to surrender his crown.
 Should Sisler get away to a good start, the St. Louis first baseman may win out. Sisler is .4U0 hitter when things are going well tor him. off hand he sems to be more of a na- tural 400 hitter than Heilman. Pari of the summer of 1921 Heilman was batting 300 and 1t was high class forceful batting. There were no scratches, miscues and slipping field CTS to help him. He drove the ball

Talking About That one

Talking About That One
 Local railbirds are still talking over that now famous McMahon- Herring battle at the B. A. c. last Monday night, when these two sluggers fought ten rounds to 6 draw. Mo, Mahon would probably prove the greatest favorite for a bout with Her ring, and local fans no doubt are hoping the B. A. C. can secure him to meet the terrible Red,
 Herring has two important battles on for this week. Tomorrow night he is fighting at Shreveport, meeting Frankie Tucker in a 15-round bout Tucker Is the welterweight who has been cleaning up" in New Orleans, and Red will have his hands full to slave off defeat in this bout. Wed nesday night Herring meets Robbie Wahl at Eldorado, Ark. and will re- turn to Birmingham after that bat tie to rest up for his bout at the B. A. C. week from tomorrow night.
 Meanwhile, attention of local box ing fans Is turned to Boston. where Claude Wilson. BIrmlngham's popu- lar little bantamweight, will battle for the national amateur champion ship tomorrow and Tuesday nights

Once In n Lifetime

once In Lifetime
 Stars have fallen, and Rome has burned, Lott's wife was turned to a pillar of salt. but that's not all. A most unique situation has come about in the Southern league flag chase it's a flag chase already, even If the banner does wave so far ahead that 1t can't be seen. This morning an eight cornered tie exists in the South ern league for first, second, third. etc. positions in the standing. In other words, every team has the same standing, the same n-.mber of games won and lost
 That's situation that happens but once in lifetime, and is worthy Of note even though it is so early in the season.
 If three months from now the pen nant chase is just a third as tight as it is now, Southern league fans will be willing to admit that 1922 is the best year yet for Dixie baseball
 Ladies Pass Books
 Officials of the Birmingham base ball association announce a steadily decreasing supply of ladies pass books for the present season. Only a cer- tain number are printed, and after they are gone, the supply is not re- plenished until the following season
 These ladies pass books entitle their holders to free admission on certain days of the week, and on other days gives a rebate of approximately 50 per cent on the purchase price of a grandstand seat. As these little books cost only dollar the economy of owning one cane readily be seen.

JACKETS DEFEAT AUBURN, 5 TO 4, IN
 EXCITING NGBATTLE|
Techs Ninth Inning Rally ShoveS Across Runs That
 Beat Auburn

Auburn, April Is. -(Special)- Techs hitting was too much for Au- burn today, enabling the Jackets to take the long end of to 4 score. The game started out with the pitch CTS setting the batters down in one two-three order. Moulton pitched good ball until the sixth, when Hixon, who was playing in close for Morgan, let a fly ball get away from him. O'Leary sacrificed him to third, Red Barron promptly singled through the drawn-in inheld, scoring Morgan. In- gram. hit one for two sacks, putting Barron on third. With the inheld drawn in. Edwards scored Barron CTS box.
 Coach Donahue sent Moulton to the showers. Sheridan pitching for Au- burn in the seventh, let Techs hard hitters down without semblance of hit. Tech threatened in the eighth, when Barron singled with one down. Ingram walked. Edwards lined one to Arnall, who doubled Barron at second.
 Baum in the first half of the ninth, got his first hit of the series. Roane sacrificed him to second. Palmisino advanced all base by singling to center Allisons hit scored Baum, tieing the score. Morgan then hit through short. sending Palmisino home with the winning run Barron lined one to Scott, who made run ming one-hand circus catch of the drive.
 Auburn's Frame
 Auburn had hard time with Sunshine" Thompson's curves until the sixth. Hixon. started the inning with walk. Moulton sacrificed him to second Richardson flied out to Barron. Griffin then poled one down the third base line, sending Hixon home. At this point Thompson was yanked. It seemed like poor strategy as Auburn was doing little with Thompson's delivery. Allison retired Scott at first. Gibson opened the sew enth with one for two bases, Arnall walked. With the stage all set Knowles hit fast one for a home run. With one run to the good. Au- burn looked sure winner, but Techs four hits in the ninth were too much
 The game was spectacular one to watch. Scott and Roane pulled down sure hits with circus catches. The hitting of Knowles for Auburn fea- tured, while that of Barron. Ingram and Morgan featured for Tech. Tn sharp contrast to yesterdays game, only one error was made. but 1t paved the way for Auburn's defeat
 The series with Tech now stands two to one in favor of Auburn.
