TRIS SPEAKER PLANS TO USE STEPHENSON NV OUTFIELD

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Feb. S.-Al- though Manager Iris Speaker has received more than one request to include Riggs Stephenson, t'e big Alabama hoy, in trade, Spoke has decided to hang on to the hard hit ting collegian, who came to the res- cue so nobly wben he jumped out of college into the big leagues at the start of the 1921 campaign and subbed for Wambsganss so effec- lively.
 Speaker cannot forget the great batting ability of the Alabama boy and, although he realizes that old Hoss cannot take a regular infield berth away from any of the nen he now counts on as fixtures, he con- siders Stephenson too valuable !, part with, as Steyie can play second, short or third and probably first also.
 Stephenson in Outfieid
 It Is the intention ofSpeaker, how ever, to drill Stephenson as an out fielder. Spoke had hoped to land a right-hand hitting gardener from another American league 'lub, one who could alternate in the right garden With Homer Summa, but that deal has been held up with the possi- bility 1t never will go through. That situation has forced him to sean his available material with a view of developing someone on the Indian roster to form q partnership with Summa, and Stephenson istthe one he has picked.
 When the Indians start playing exhibition games with five National league clubs in Florida in March, 1t is expected the National league teams will be shooting some south paws against the tribe. In thos, games Stephenson will be utilized in right field and Speaker believes that by the time the season has opened he will know if Stephenson Is a capable outfielder. If the Ala bama man fails to make the grade as gardener, Speaker will be forced to develop some other man for the

 There are many newcomers en- tered to compete for the champion ships and the medals that go with them. Some are unknown to Magic City fans, while others have won recognition in preliminary bouts at the regular athletic shows at the B. A. c.
 Taken as a whole, the bunch ot fighters billed to appear in the Magic City championships Monday night make a rather formidable showing on paper, and, if past performances run true to form. should duplicate in the ring Monday night.
 Dalton Swann will be clerk of the city championship meet while Earl Langrebe and Roy Cohen will prob ably aet as judges. Dave Evans stated Saturday that the referee and his altenate have not yet been se lected.
 Only small admission prices will be charged, stated Dave Evans Saturday, one price for the balcony and one for the ringside. Evans stated that the city tournament is being staged entirely as an interest maker in ann ateur boxing in Birmingham and not as a financial venture.

PANTHER NINE TOI
 LOSE THREE FIRST STRING PLAYERS
Majority of Positions Well Taken Care of by Prospee-

Baseball practice will be started at 5 Birmingham- Southern college in the next two or three weeks if the weather does not change greatly, ac- cordng to an announcement Satur- day by Coach Charlie Brown. The im- patient would be stars are already out on Sunshine Slopes throwing the ball around as if it were midseason, despite the warning of aching arms Many gloves have already made their ;ippearance on Munger Bowl and the recruits to the baseball vanguard in- creases daily.
 Prospects are good for another winning team on Hilltop this year. Although three varsity players were lost this year. there are many god prospects to fill their positions. Probably the hardest position to fill will be that of George "Feed 'em" Oatesy-star twirler for the Pan- thers last season. Oates is up in Ohio so the Panthers will be minus his services this year. Babe Ruth" Graham and Little Joe" Wheeler will be the mainstavs in the box. Graham was one of the Panther twirling squad last year and did some work with Huntsville last summer Wheel CT was on the staff in 1921 and is expected to hold up his share of the pitching this year. There may be several rough diamonds" in the new corners but so far none have been located.
 Bob Howe Missed
 Bob Rowe, outfelder, is another player who will be missed. Rowe was one of the slugging stars for the Panthers last season and sweet out = fil1dar a o1,i inr at In lra this year. Jim Rogers, another outs fielder. will not appear in a Panther uniform this season. There are sew eral. high school players who have good records that will try to fill the eerths of these two men. Loren Will Hams played outfield on the Tusca- loosa high team last year. Clarence" Mitchell of West End also is con tender for an outfield position. Some of the infield players of last year and new candidates for infield will be shifted to the outfield, Mike" Norton. star of several seasons, will again be out for center field.
 Two good men will go out for the backstop position this year. Greek" : Griffin, veteran cf three years, and Sid Godbee, Simpson high school star, will be the main contenders for the position. One of them may be .shifted to the outfield.
 Two First Bascmen
 At first base Jack Stuart, variety first sacker for the past three sea sons. and Hubert Caldwell, all-state high school first basemanf Of the Simpson outfit last year, will be the main contenders. Several other high school players will make try for this position.

Author of New York's Boxing Law Protests

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Repeal of the state boxing law will be sought in event the state athletic commits sion bars the worlds heavyweight title bout between Champion Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills, negro challengerf, Senator James J. Walk CT, author of the present legislation permitting professional boxing, has announced.
 Approving any action forbidding a Dempsey Willard contest, Senator Walker declared that the Wills match could not be banned for dis crimination for race, creed or color' or for commercialism,
 T regard Dempsey Wills bout as clean contest between two ath- letes on recognized ability" he said Ter may go to the outfield and leave second for other contenders. Steven son, who played with Roanoke last summer, will probably go out for second.
 June" Andersen, last years short stop, will be out again for his regu- lar position.
 Ben Enge]bert, who played third base last year, will be out again for the team. Englebert hurt his Knee in football practice last fall but it is not likely to give him much trouble.
 About 30 men have turned in their names as candidates but many more will be on the field when practice begins. There should be plenty of material to fill the holes left by de- parted stars and bolster up the team as well. The shortage of pitch- CTS seems to be the main trouble at present: Only two men are available for the box with several who might be put in in case of emergency.
 Munger Field will be worked on before practice starts to get the field smoothed' offNand in good con dition. Considerable work will have -tG be-done on the infield. especially.
