Dog Fights Banned By.
New Mexican Official

MEXICO CITY, Feb 4.-(By Asso-
ciated Press.)-Dog fights have been
prohibited in Mexico City. The de-
cree, recently issued by Mayor
Prieto Laurens as one of the first
acts of his administration, refers to
regulated fights, and not the ordi-
nary street affairs between bellig-
erent ours. Mayor Laurens says it
is a disgrace for blooded animals to
be matched in a death struggle, and
there are strong limitations that a
ban will be placed soon on cock
fights, which vie with bull fights as
the favorite Sunday afternoon diver
sion.
To many Mexicans, however, there
is nothing brutal or inhuman in bull
fights, dog fights or cock fights.

AUBURN, Ala. Feb. 4.-(Special.)
The senior class football team has
begun training for the coming inter-
class football season, in which the
championship of the class football
teams will be decided. Quite lot
of interest is always in evidence in
class contests.
Occasionally a member of the class
teams is drafted to hold down a posi-
ton on the varsity squad. A recent
case of this nature was the case of
Fatty" Lawrence. In 1920, the
chubby youngster was playing full
back of his Junior class team, and
Coach Donahue took him over for
work at the guard position on the
varsity, and after one seasons op-
Grafton at the job, he was trans
ferred to the highly responsible
position as center, where he has
developed into one of the really
sturdy centers in southern football,

A FTER all, the squabbling and
~ dissension that resulted at the
- - schedule meeting of the South
ern league it is only natural that
someone should be given an I'M
usually attractive menu for 1928, and
it seems that a part of Birmingham
fandom held the lucky. number. And
it did, the feminine part, as closer
examination of the 1928 schedule
will show.
Yearly the Birmingham baseball
association puts out batch of
ladies' season tickets, good on every
Tuesday and Friday on which the
Barons have home games scheduled.
These books sell for one dollar each,
and are considered the bargain" of
the season.
Just how good bargain the
ladies' books Will be next season is
shown by the fact that Birmingham
has "a games at home on Tuesdays
and Fridays, more than ever before.
and the feminine element of Magic
City fandom will have a wonderful
opportunity to follow the Barons
through the 1928 campaign.
Birmingham does not open at
home, playing their first two
ga.ies of 1877 in Chattanooga
The Magic City does get the real
plum of the year. though, the
Fourth OF July doubIeheader.

Billy West stated that he is
still, expecting Manager Joe Dunn
to close some kind of a deal soon,
whereby Birmingham will get
another experienced outflelder and
a second string catcher, to do relief
work for Robby Brandon, veteran
first string backstop of the Barons.

quarters for a couple of weeks now.
and things will most likely be quiet
until Joe Dunn arrives to take over
the reins some time towards the
middle of this month.
Dave Evans seems to have the
right idea in regards to conducting
an amateur boxing tournament.
Evans, director of the Boys club, is
staging his city championship
tournament at the B. A. c. Monday
night. and has been following a very
commendable policy in promoting
the affair.
No amateur boxer, novice, or ex-
perience, is being barred from the
tourney and the entry list is being
held open until Monday afternoon,
when all contestants must weigh in
for helm various classes.
A decided innovation in Magic
City boxing circles is being intro
duced by Evans in mating it COM
pulsory for each entrant to undergo
an physical and medical examination
before being admitted to the ranks.
"There'll be no weak heart fatal
tiles when our tourney comes off"
asserted Dave Evans Saturday. "Ev-
cry one entered is physically fit.
and that should go long way to-
wards making the city meet a sue
cess"
And there's another angle to the
affair. Evans has set scale of
popular prices that should prove a
great success. Two prices only will
be charged, dollar for ringside,
half dollar for balcony.
You see," said Dave grinning, "A
thousand at a dollar a head is much
better than $50 at three dollars per.

present term expires June 80. He will
come up for reelection on July l.
Doubt has been expressed for some
time as to whether DIR. Ballou would
accept another term as superintend-
ent Of schools. due to the fact that
several large cities are said to have
offered him positions at a salary much
higher than the $4,000 year he re-
ccives in Washington. The superin-
tendent. however. has indicated his
desire of remaining at the head or
the District school system by declin-
ing the out-of-town positions.
Two Of the outstanding achleNe-
ments Of Or. Ballou's administration,
IL Is pointed out. have ben the devel-
opment Of the comprehensive school
building program. which he frameo
upon coming to Washington. and the
development Of the junior high school
system. In 1920 Supt Ballou formu-
lated the school building program
calling for the expenditure Of So
600 0eO covering a period of five years.
In the past three years Congress has
appropriated nearly s6.000.000. a num-
ber OF new schools and additions have
been completed. several are under
construction and actual steps have
been taken toward building others.
