Craze For Sports In
Great Britain Growing

LONDON, June 23.-The craze in
Great Britain for sweepstakes in
horse racing. football and other
sports is growing, but the govern
ment has announced that it has no
intention of considering a tax upon it.
In the offices of the ministry OF
pensions at Leeds, Yorkshire, a big
pool for the st. Leger racing event
is being promoted. but the pension
authorities have announced that the
pool is without official sanction.
The Church of England mems So
cial convention held here this week
deeply deplored the gambling ten

singing tribe of drillers all
along the way.
Fifteen games played, ten won,
four lost and one tied-that's the
record of the Barons since Stew
art took charge when they re-
turned home from Atlanta two
weeks ago. And, best of all.
they have slipped up peg in
the league standing. The slump
ing LOOkOutS were displaced by
the Barons Friday, and Stewards
men have gained an inch in their
struggle to cut down the yards
between them and the top of the
ladder.
So another southpaw has been
added to the staff of the Barons.
That makes four portsiders and
two right handlers on the corps.
There's probably no other team
in Glass A baseball or lower
with such a one-sided staff.
However. if there is an equal to
this situation, it's two to one
bet that they are not getting the
results from their t-handers
that Birmingham Is.
It's the inevitable law of base
ball that southpaw shall be
eccentric, that he shall be wild
and shall really show his stuff
only every now and then. But
those Barons have so thoroughly
shaken this theory up that it
would not be surprising to hear
tho bones of that law rafting to
the ground at any time now.
Moore, Stewart and Whitehill
have proven as reliable as the
most reliable of right handlers.

GEORGE REYNOLDS
RESIGNS AS COACH
AT SIMPSON HIGH
Local Coach Will Have
Interest In New University
High School

After four years on the faculty and
as coach at Simpson High school
George L. Reynolds has rendered his
resignation and will not have charge
of the Tornado basketball and base
ball teams next year. Reynolds, in
conjunction with Rev. David Park
and Prof. James ]. White, will found
the University High school, private
preparatory school on the southside
where he will have charge of ath-
letics.
Coach Reynolds has put out base
ball and basketball teams during
the last three years at Simpson that
have not only won statewide fame
but national attention. He turned out
a state championship basketball and
baseball team during the past year.
His Tornado quintet finished fourth
in the Cotton States tournament at
Auburn last season, and in 1922 he
won third place in the tourney. The
Simpson basketball team was runner
up for state honors in '22 and the
baseball team laid claim to the state
championship along with Tuscaloosa
and Sidney Lanier.
He built his teams out of prac-
tically new material. Putting out the
first teams at Simpson he had no
foundation or precedents to work
upon and built Simpson athletics up
to the position they hold today in
state high school circles. His basket
ball team last year competed in the
national prep school tournament at
Chicago and blazed the trail for all
Alabama high schools in national
competition His machines have
been noted for their smooth work.
ing play and such men as Charlie
Vincent. Gurdy Byrd, Ferguson and
other stars have come to light under
his tutelage.
His resignation was a blow to
Simpson athletics for as coach in
basketball and baseball there is
probably not man in the state con-
nected with high school athletics that
can equal him. In addition to his
keen analysis of the sports in which
he coaches he believes in hard work
and team work. He win take a man
from the game for lack of team play
quicker than anything else and this
is one point In which his teams were
outstanding. Their team play was
faultless when they were functioning
correctly.
Coach Reynolds will put out
teams in all branches of sports at the
new school, of which he will have
one-third interest. He will look after
the athletic development himself and
plans to have every student Indulge
in some sort of athletics. In this en-
deavor he plans to put in all branches
of athletics and also physical edu-
cation.
The new school will open septem-
Der II at which time Coach Reynolds
will get his plans we'll in hand and
start work on his football team.
Teams In all three major sports will
compete in interscholastic contests
next year.
