She remembered that she had
put her arms about his neck and
kissed him when he gave her the
pendant. But that. had been when
he fancied he loved her, before
he had learned what a silly
creature she was-before she had
engaged herself to a man who
was not worthy to be called a
man.
Now she would not dare follow
the impulse that had seized her
on her twenty-first birthday. In-
stead she held out her hand for
Muir to clasp the bracelet on her
wrist.
His fingers trembled slightly as
he fastened the clasp. Then he
drew back to note the effect.

Au-Star Gridders Are Giuen Their Sweaters

Twelve players of the Birmingham All-Stars were presented with the maroon and gold sweater for their showing in various games the past football season, at the banquet of the Cavaliers club Monday. The team came through the past season with no defeats and a strong claim on the state semi-pro junior cham pionship.
 The completed season was much more satisfactory than the preceding one the victories being won by only narrow margins and organization of tho squad becoming more unified.
 Twoyear men who received their letters were: Ken Vardman. halfback, captain; Milton Sellers, quarter; AL fred Bass, left end; Douglass Snow, tackle; Hubert Williams. fulback and alternate captain; Richard Massey, tackle; Henry McMillian, center; Joie Ray, right end; Lawrence Fuqua, guard; Allen Gilmore, halfback: Ray Bucker, guard; Fred Shirey, fulback.
 The passing of Vardmann, the gen eralship of Sellers, the work of Ray, and the bunting of Williams ac- counted for the credible record made by the All-Stars agains- fast teams.

 Plans are being made to make the coming gols tournament the great est ever held in the south. Local of ficials are planning to extend royal welcome to the visiting golfers.

Johnny Suggs Stuck By His Guns; Won Wife and Chance With Tanks

NEW YORK, March 5.-(Spe- cial. .1-His name is Johnny Suggs. just left-handed pitcher from minor league, who is going to get a trial with the Yankees.
 It ought to be Johnny Con- stancy Suggs. He is sticker. He stays with 'em when the trou- ble starts. He believes in keep ing everlastingly at it.
 Last year he began with the Atlanta club of the Southern as- sociation. He fell in love. as any fine looking chap of 26 is liable to do at any time, with the daugh- ter of the owner of his ball club. The magnate snorted at the idea of annexing southpaw pitcher as son-in-law and traded the youngster to the Memphis club.
 Get him away from here and let him forget it." said the mag nate.
 But Johnny Constancy Suggs didn't forget. He couldn't forget. All the while he was winning games for Memphis with his left arm his thoughts and his con stant heart were in Georgia. So one day he stole away and mar ried the magnate's daughter. Then he went back to Atlanta.
 Now he's coming to the Yam kees. He can pitch, say the south ern scouts, and his big asset pluck and stick toitIveness. He made good record last year, 4s feet Il inches and weighs 176 pounds.

BABE WATCHESHIS MATES EMBARK ON
 TRIP TO ORLEANS

HOT SPRINGS, Arx, March b. Babe" Ruth was an onlooker to- day while his Yankee team mates packed their bags for New Orleans where the Yankees have pitched camp for the spring training. Ruth is fully recovered from his brief but strenuous attack of influenza. He did not leave today with others of the New York squad by pronouncement of his attending physician who gave the order, despite the fact that Ruth apparently is strong enough to make the trip, as precaution against relapse.
 Wednesday now has been fixed as the date Ruth will start for the southern camp. Bob Shawkey has been ordered to remain here to keep Ruth company. Ruth now is per- mitted to pace the hotel corridors for exercise. Yesterday he expressed d desire to have a round of golf but the doctors orders held him in doors. Gloom cast over the Ruth ian domicile was increased by the decision of the physician that the great slugger had been consuming more rich delicacies than were good for his system and the Babes ap- petite returned to normalcy Satur- day.
 The ravages of the flu" had tell ing effect on Ruth's weight. He tipped the scales at POP pounds yes- terday.
 Guess I'll have to take on few pounds before l can swat the old agate now" he declared.

Miss Glenna Collett Leads AM Qualifiers

BELLEAIR HEIGHTS, Fla, March 5.-Miss Glenna Collett of Provi- dence. %omen's national golf cham pion. more than lived up to her repu- tation when she led field of 50 in the qualifying rounds of the wo- mems championship of Belleair to- day. She covered the difficult No. course in 79 strokes, which Is golf that few men players here can count on beating day in and day out The best part of her score today was the way she played the incoming nine. which she did in 36 strokes or, as the expert golfers say, even As.
 The next best score to that turned in by Miss Collett was made by Mrs. Caleb Fox of Huntingdon Valley, who defeated Miss Collett in the first tournament of the season. Mrs. Fox has not been playing so well during the past two weeks. She was out in 42. beating Miss Collett by stroke but coming home she required a AS, which ran her total up to 90.
 Mrs. Dorothy Campbell Hurd, who was picked as the one most likely to beat Miss Collett in this champion ship if any in the tournament were equal to the task, required two more strokes than Mrs. Fox. She tied with Mrs. Alex Smith of Sheenecossett with 92. Only those who were able to break the hundred got into the championship flight.

Huntsville. Aln., March 6
 The final game of the Huntsville "Y" league series will be played at the Dallas Y. M. C.. A. Friday night of this week between Dallas and Central. This game will be played to decide the winner of the 1923 basketball trophy awarded every year.
 Dallas won the crown last year and is making a great stride toward that end this year.
 With the coming of spring and warm weather, local schools and clubs have begun to send their pros- poets for the 1923 diamond season on the field. Huntsville will be well represented in baseball this year, and both local High schools are count ing on championship.
 Raw material is plentiful, and a number of last years letter men are back at their old positions. Both tt ms are lacking in good batteries but the rest of the line ups are we'll filled, according to an ann uncement by the coaches of the institutions.

 Late trains were still bringing them in, and Billy West ventured the opinion that 25 or 30 ball players would line up for Tuesday mornings practice at Redwood. The Baronial squad of 1923 is made up of only slightly over 30 players. and the en- tire flock is expected to be in by Tuesday niA1t or Wednesday morn ing at the la\st. No hold-outs have appeared on the horizon, and Man ager Joe Dunn is expecting no hiIf1 dranee in that direction.
 Tuesdays program calls for much the same as Mondays. There will be no heavy work, just lmbering up pep" gatnes, batting practice, out field praltice and tossing the ball around. Tuesdays workout begins at II o'clock, running straight through until about o'clock. Joe Dunn will probably not conduct his spring training campaign on the two practice days schedule, it was indi- cated Monday.
 If warm weather continues in vogue, work will probably be rushed toward the latter end of the week, as the Eatons are faced with q hard ex- hbiton game schedule, and Joe Dunn would like N play a few Nannigan battles before the regular spring schedule opens.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-03-06

Joe Dunn, making niS 1lfSlO start as pilot of the Barons during his first day as spring training boss, proved not at all unlike any other manager of q baseball club. There was no heavy work done, and the session Was spent almost entirely in limbering up work.
 The outfielders were given a thor ough chase around the gardens, with Joe Dunn yielding a wicked bat in fungoeing flies to the gardeners. Long and wide was the role when Joe hit em out and then each young out fielder came in with his tongue dragging the turf after the chasing by Joe Dunn.
 Regular batting practice was gone through. With various ones chunk body has turn at the batting cage. There was nothing on the pitching, of course, and some hefty clouts re- suited when a husky pastimer con nected on straight one down the groove.
 That was about all there was to that opening workout Monday morn- ing. The only formality. in reality, was the appearance of a uniform on Redwood field for the first time this year.

SIKI ARRIVES AT WILDE AND VILLA DUBLIN FOR BOUT SIGN FOR BATTLE


 NEW YORK, March 5-Jimmy Wilde, of England, worlds flyweight champion and Pancho Villa, former flyweight title holder have been signed for a 15 round bout at the Polo grounds June 16. Matchmaker Tom O'Rourke announced tonight.
 Villa, the Filipino boxer, lost his title to Frankie Genare, at Madison Square Garden last week.
 0'Rourke said he had signed Villa in preference to Genaro because the ma jority of the newspapers had given Villa the decision as against the re- feree's award to Genaro.
 Wilde will receive 371a per cent of the gate receipts and Villa 12s per cent. O'Rourke said. No guarantees have been made.
