Doubt Expressed That Either Rumored Trade Will

 circles had two major league clubs
 on the block today-the Boston Americans and Brooklyn Nationals but although interests in both ad- mittedly were for sale to the highest
 bidder, doubt was expressed tonight
 as to the prospects of either chang ing ownership at present. Harry H. Frazee, president of the
 Boston Red Sox. declined to comment
 on reports reviving the possibility
 that he might sell his interests. It was learned, however, that he had
 not conferred today with Ban John son, president of the American League. on the subject, as suggested | in advices from training camp sources.
 | The Boston magnate has repeatedly expressed a desire to sell, but so far no definite offer is understood to | have been made to him. Owners of the Brooklyn club, mean- while, admitted they had been ap- | preached by representatives of Eds
 ward F. Simms. wealthy Kentucky turfman and oil operator, with an offer of 3500,000 for their interests,
 but did not appear to regard 1t fa- vorably.
 Charles H. Ebbetts, president OF the club, who has on several occa- | sions expressed a desire to sell his
 holdings, was quoted by the Brook | lyn Eagles training camp corres-
 pondent as saying the price was not satisfactory.
 In Brooklyn. Stephen W. McKee- yer. who, with his brother, Edward
 J. McKeever, holds a half interest in
 the Dodgers, declared emphatically that there isn't enough money in New York to buy our share in the club"
 Baseball men regarded the Artf- tude of MT. McKeever as practically quashing the proposed deal because of an agreement he and his brother | are understood to have with Mir. Eb- betts, under the terms of which each
 party has first option on the others
 holdings in the event either desires | to sell.
 Proof of the existence of this pact | was seen in the statement by MT.
 Ebbetts that he could reach no de-
 cision regarding the Simms offer un-
 til conferring With the Mckeevers.

 Belleair Golf Champ

BELLEAIK HEIGHTS, Fla, March S.-Mrs. Dorothy Campbell Hurd, the former British and American wom- ems golf champion, added the Belle air championship to her achievements on links when she defeated Mrs. Caleb F. Fox of Huntingdon valley in the final round today by one up.
 The match came to the last green with Mrs. Hurd leading by one hole. Mrs. Fox repeated the green in three while Mrs. Hurd required four shots. Mrs. Fox's approach putt was two feet short of the cup. After Mrs. Hurd's try for five the gallery was all prepared to see an extra hole match and they were greatly dis appointed when Mrs. Fox missed her putt. Putting appears to be get ting on her nerves. At the fourteenth her four-foot putt went a couple of inches wide of the mark. The same thing happened on the short fifteenth but the putt she made was scarcely two feet.
 Although there were several weak spots in the round, the game from the standpoint of championship play was eNCellenl. oOtu began Wlli pal fours on the first hole. Then Mrs. Hurd gave the gallery a thrill by sinking 15-foot putt for a birdie three on the second. The match was squared on the third hole when Mrs. Fox won easily with a five. Mrs. Hurd found trouble and after lit tie trip to the palmettos did no bet ter than seven
 Co oA h fourth on her tee shot and Mrs. Hurd won it with a four. Mrs. Fox retaliated by winning the long fifth after laying a beautiful approach shot close to the pin. She also won the seventh with a par four. Mrs. Fox was one up at the turn and was out in 41 while Mrs. Hurd took 43.
 Beginning on the second nine. Mrs. Fox lost the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth in a row and became two down. One of these holes she got back at the seventeenth when Mrs. Hurd put her ball into the lake, Had it not been for mistake on the home green the match would have been square.
 Mrs. Fox made the round in S7, the same number of strokes as her op- ponent. In the gallery was little Miss Nancy Elkins, the grandchild of Mrs. Fox, who was very much in- terested in her grandmother's play ing and disappointed when she did not win.
 In the second eight was Miss Clara Krauter of Youngstown, O., who de- feated Mrs. Albert Mcdonald of the Engineers club by and I.

TUNNEY A CREDIT TO BOXING GAME
By HENRY l.. FARRELL Special Dispatch To Birmingham m
 Age-Herald.

NEW YORK, March S.-Gene Tun- ney, of all the ring champions, per sonifies best that type of character and citizenship that his profession would have as its ideal representa- tive.
 champion is a real credit to a game that needs a lot of Tunneys, to be able to hold it's head up in polite society.
 From standpoint of pure Ameri- canism, the first question of the test goes back to 1917 and puts itself in the words-"What did he do?"
 Tunney did his with the marines of the A. F. F. and a credit to it.
 He plugged through the hanks and fought his way 10 the light heavy weight championship of the allied armies and when he stepped out of, his uniform, he kept plugging along the same way until he won the American title.
 O O O Hands Went Bad.
 His hands went bad on him and he lost the title, but he kept on trying and now he is back as the champion again. Only Ketchel, Brit ton. Herman and Lynch had staged a championship comeback before Tunney.
 Clean in the ring and clean out of it, Tunney should be champion for a long time while he deserves every cent he can make out of his position.
 He gets now the chance to mako a fortune that Bob Martin blew. Martin, as the pride of the A. E. F., had no limit to his opportunities but 1e didn't like to go to bed early and he went the way that hundreds went before him.
 Under the guidance of Billy Gibson, as good a manager and as fine |. fel- low as there is in the business, Tun- ney should not have difficulty in avoiding the traps.
 For the good of the game that he Is in, Gene Tunney ought to be the champion as long as he wants to be.

PANTHERDIAMOND
 WORK RUSHED AS WEATHER CLEARS
Pitchers Open Up a Bit, While Others Play the
 OutfieId

The return of warm weather marked a hard days work for the Birmingham Southern College base- ball candidates on Munger Bowl Thursday afternoon. The first hard practice of the year was staged and the vets and rockies" got in two hours of hard work. Although 1t was only the third day out, Coach Brown worked the men hard.
 The pitching staff was out for about an hours work. Babe" Ruth, of last years staff; Joe Wheeler, of the team of 1921; Dad" Howell, of Marion, and Laney. of last years squad. were turning loose with a good bit of steam Thursday after noon. Sid Godbee, all-state Simpson High catcher, was receiving. There will probably be one or two other men that will work on the pitching staff later this year. Aubrey Miller, who does relief twirling, was in the outfield getting in plenty of condi- tioning work chasing flies. Coach Brown also had Greek" Griffin, first string catcher. in the outfield.
 O O O
 Seven Infielders Out.
 Seven men were worked in the in- field Thursday afternoon. "Skeebie" Caldwell, all-state first baseman from Simpson, worked alone at first. At second Ed Howell. last year second team man. and Verman Kimbrough. from Shelby County High, were talk ing them out of the grass. Caldwell showed some good stuff on first, as and Kimbrough showed up well at second.
 At short, June" Anderson. star infielder of last years team, was taking everything that came his way, while Nolan Propst, from Fayette High, was alternating with him and doing good work.
 Ben Englebert, last years third sacker, and "Bullo" Williams. from Tuscaloosa High, were working at third base. The hot corner" is a little rough on Munger Bowl. but both players were doing creditable work.
 Coach Brown will probably give more of his new men chances in the infield during the next two or three practices. Many infielders were working in the outfield Thursday chasing flies.
 The entire squad was sent to the outfield Thursday except the seven men who were working on the in- field and the pitching staff. Most or the afternoons practice was fielding, with little hitting mixed in.
