TANKS WILL HAVE SAME MEN AGAIN
World Champions Are Mak- ing No Big Deals For
 Players

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-If the worlds champion New York Yankees stand pat on their present lineup for 1924, as they have indicated, 1t will be the first time they have done so in eight years in which Colonel Ja- cob Ruppert has been connected with the club ownership.
 A series of big deals, principally with the Boston Red Sox, has marked the Yankee course ever since Ruppert and his former partner, T. L. Huston, took over the team in 1915. No doubt the champions will have their qIota of youngsters on trial in the spring but, for the first time in many sea sons, no major transactions with oth- CT big league clubs are In sight.
 Several stars, including Wally Pipp, regular first sacker now. came to the Yankees in trio of deals prior to the first season under the Rup- pert Huston regime in 1915. Home Run" Frank Baker was bought from the Athletics the following winter, while several erstwhile Feoerat leaguers and costly aggregation or minor league stars was acquired.
 The 1916 club. which was well out in front in August, finished disap- pointingly, however, and for the next season, Urban Shoclker, -spitbail twirler, and Armando Marsans' Cu- ban star, were obtained.
 Miller Higgins became pilot in 1918 and immediately launched number of big transactions. Del Pratt, Aaron Ward and Ping Boole were among the first he coralled. Tn the winter of 1s1S-1s the first of tt the ne deals with the Red Sox took place when Pitchers Shore and Leonard and Outhelder Duffy Lewis came to New York for Ray Caldwell, Gil HOO ley and several others.
 Carl Mays was obtained for $4o.ooo and several players late in 1919 ana the famous deal for Babe Ruth was that winter, at about the same time Bob Meusel was bought from the Pacific coast:
 The 1920-21 winter saw Schans, Hoyt, Harper and McNally come to New York from Boston, while Ltne next year, Bush, Jones and scott transferred their allegiance. Last winters bartering resulted in the ac- ouisition of Herb Pennock, star port slider, in exchange for several young players.

BIRMINGHAM WILL HAVE BIG GAMES
Auburn-Centre And Panther Bulldog Scraps Come
 Next

Beach Chenoweth very appropri- ately described the Birmingham Southern and Howard football battle, when he met with the committee Monday and helped dope out seating arrangements for the big local bat tie.
 Picture a healthy, mature cyclone sitting down in the lap of a seething active volcano, and you have mental sketch of the Panther-Bulldog bat fle," spake the illustrious Beach.
 And chats just what's liable to happen Saturday, November 24, when the two teams meet in their annual classic "A cyclone will sit down in the lap of volcano" and it will take an adding machine working on four shifts to tabulate the casualties.
 Birmingham becomes the mecca for football fans for two weeks now, and while the grid rations have been on a starvation basis from the fans standpoint thus far this season, things start picking up with a re- sounding boom the coming Saturday and they will continue to pick up at a lightning rate of speed until a clClzeHTy BOTSeS AlsS4A OH -OONbe4l through Thanksgiving day. Pipe the lineup and see what King football has in store for you.

 Howard vs. Birmingham-Sout at Redwood, Saturday, November 24.
 Alabama vs. Florida at Redwood, Turkey Day.
 If thae isn't flapperese for the "gnu's pneumonia" MT. Ckenoweth says he misses his guess. And Beach has never been a bad picker.
 Birmingham Southern Partners will take unto themselves a little ap- petizer Friday when they defend their colors against kle invading Unionites. The Union battle will be big foot ball scrap, but the main idea about to go with Union is that 1t will give the 'pickers" chance to form their own private opinions as to the relative strength of the Howard and Bir- mingham Southern factions. It will be remembered that the Bulldogs took unto themselves several mile age books, invaded the Unionites in their own home town and held 'em to a to tie.
 It now remains to be seen what the Partners can do to Union--if any The Sunshine Slopes entry has not been running the best in t--e world In the annual football sweepstakes and the consensus of opinion seems to be that they will not stack up with the eclat against Onion that the Bulldogs did. If the dope runs true to form the Partners will take a licking from Union and the odds will be on How ard wher. the local factions stage the marne of football"
