engagement have just been completed whereby Moore will meet Champion Johnny Buff for the bantamweight title. Babe Asher won the A. E. r. title during those tempestuous days evereas. In defeating these lads Grant has made an enviable record, and this record will probably cause him to rule favorite in tomorrow nights bout.
 Grant comes to Birmingham from Atlanta, where he fought a fight or two q short time ago. Atlanta scribes were loud in their praises of his work.
 Has Good Punch
 Grant has shown a good punch i1 his work -outs at the B. A. c. since coming to Birmin gham. He is n shifty little scrapper. and knows how to handle his mitts. His work is clean cut, and, all in all, Eddie Grant has the appearance of getting some where in pugilism.
 Monday nights bout will be pre- ceded by several preliminaries. The semi final scrap will be between Claudio Wilson and Frankie Jerome, a decision over Wilson, having won from Claudio on foul.
 Billy Jingles, welterweight, who has been in Birmingham for some time trying to get bout. will prob ably be given chance to show his wares on Monday nights card.
 The first preliminary Monday nj ght will begin at S;30 o'clock.

Anniston QuintS Finish

Anniston, February 25.-(Special) ) The Anniston High school quintets closed the season Friday night by di- viding double bill with the Disque High cage teams on the local floor, the boys losing to the Gadsden cage sters 25 to 20, and the co-eds copping their game 16 to 13.
 The clash between the boys was one of the fastest and keenest fought cage battles of the local season and frequently the Anniston lads threat ened to tie the score. The Gadsden team was never more than a few points in the lead and 1t might have been anybody's victory.
 The girls tilt was also bitterly fought. the visitors exerting them selves to the limit in an effort to even up the count and secure re- venge for the beating administered by the Anniston young ladies a few weeks ago. The Anniston boys were defeated by the Disque ouint at the time of the other victory by the girls, losing by a narrow margin of points.

 Pittsburg. February 25.-(Speciai) The little villege of Pellville, Ky, does not count for much on the map of the Blue Grass State It does not sport d subway or elevated, and even the steam rail roads have passed up the town. But the entire population of exactly A persons. according to the latest cen sus, claim one great distinction for the town-it is the birthplace of two major league ball pitchers, John and Philip Morrison, and while both have recently moved across the line into the neighboring county, Pellville clings to the honor of being the place where both first saw the light of day
 The World war, to a great extent, is responsible for the Morrison broth CTS being in the national game. When the call to arms came in 1917 both boys answered their country's call and went into training as enlisted men at Camp Taylor. Louisville. It so happened that Pat Duncan now with the Cincinnati reds, but who had been sent to Birmingham by the Pirates previous to his big league engage ment, was in training at Camp Taylor
  discover that Johnny Morrison, his comrade, was somewhat of a twirler and offered to secure a place in pro- fessional ball for him after his army days. The spring of 1919 found the elder Morrison with Birmingham and during that year and the year follow ing he pitched himself into an envi- able place in Southern League annals and such was his record that the Pir- ate management purchased him in the fall of the latter year.
 Phil Stayed In Army
 Phil Morrison elected to remain in the army after the close of the war but in September, 1920, his brother secured him trial with the Birming- hAm club. He was success from the start, and the Buccaneers purchased him less than a month after his start but returned him to the Birmingham club last winter for a seasons experi- ence in class A ball. He joined the Pirates last September.
 Both Morrisons nrc possessed with more than ordinary ability. Johnny.

 Eddie Grant comes to Birnring ham with the reputation of having de- feated some of the most promising bantams In the ring today He lists among his victims such ringmen as Zulu Kid, Willie Adams, Johnny Rosner, Babe Asher, Frankie Murray and Roy Moore
 All of these boys are considered among the best in the game, but Zulu Kid is perhaps the best known of the group. A couple of years ago he was rated as a foremost challenger for Pete Herman's crown, and is still good enough to whp a lot of the so-called top notchers. Roy Moore is considered to be so good that ar

STATE TICKET
ENDORSED AT
JAM ESTOWN
Met cCumber's Position Strong.
er Than Before as Result
Of Convention

The Independent Republican
state convention which met at
jamestown last week endorsed a
state and congressional ticket but
did not make any senatorial endorse
ment. The ticket stands as follows:
Governor, K. A. Nestos
1t. Governor, Frank e. Hyland
Sec. Of State, Thomas Hall
Auditor, H. D. johnson
Treasurer, John Steen
Atty General, George shafer
Insurance Com. H. Carpenter

A. Kitchen
Congressmen-
lst Dist, O. B. Burtness
End Dist, Geo. NJ. Young
Bird Dist, Nomination left to
committee
The McCumbef forces were in the
majority and could have secured
the endorsement OF McCumber had
they wished. However in the in.
terests Of harmony it was thought
best to make no senatorial endorse
ment. McCumber's position is as
q result much stronger than it
would have been had the conyen.
tion endorsed him, and it looks as
though the Republicans Of the state
will be united in his support. Nc
Cumber is a straight Republican; as
such it has never been lis policy to
represent any particular faction to
the exclusion Of the rest Of the par.
ty or the state as u whole.
81 The Jamrstown convention shas
indeed done its work we'll in that it
has taken big step toward the,
reunitinR Of the Republican party
in the state. The delegates are to
be congratulated for their level
