Schedule Meeting OF
American League Will
Be Held February 10

CHICAGO. Jan. 2e.-TRe spring
schedule meeting of the American
league will be held in Philadelphia
February 10, President Johnson an
nounced tonight.
The decision to hold the meeting
in Philadelphia instead of here was
reached because the annual banquet
of the Philadelphia Baseball Writer'S
viii be held on that date and Presi
dent Johnson, together with Ty Cobb
and George Sisler, will be the guests
of honor. More than 1000 are eN
pected to attend.
The principal question to be con-
sidered will be the adoption or ro-
lection of the plan to cut down the
epidemic of fluky home runs. Clark
Griffith, president of the Washington
club, brought forward the sugges-
ton at the December meeting and
was rewarded with sentiment favor
able to to the proposition. The Ma
tional league, however, opposed It,,
and Commissioner Lands has since
stated that he does not favor it and
that it will not be adopted by both
major leagues.

CRIMSONS TAKE
WINNING LEAD in
EXTRA PERIOD
A. A. C. Loses First Home
Game Since Season
of 1916

ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. 26.-(Special)
The proud record of the Atlanta Ath-
letic club basketball team-unde-
featcd by Southern Quintet before
home fans since away back IN 1916
was ruined tonight when the Univer
sity of Alabama basketeers, heralded
as one of Dixie's most formidable
machines, defeated the locals, 81 to
"a, an extra period of five minutes
having to be played before decision
could be reached.
A few minutes before what should
have been the close of the greatest
battle Atlanta customers have looked
at this year, the Club men apparently
had a safe enough lead, but the
fighting spirit of the Alabamians as
serted itself, and the visitors cr-.--
up closer.
Then Hudson rammed down the
tying marker and the whistle
sounded. Each team had SO points.
Extra Period Needed
The extra period brought forth
unquestionably the most dazzling
basketball that has been played In
Atlanta in this or any other season.
One point meant everything and the
performers were just careful enough
about their mis-steps to depend en-
tIGely upon OrInOuOA bdShStpdll.
Alabama won because her men had
the strength in reserve to put over
the victory The club was forced
to sec the Alabama five on the ag-
gressive for the first of the distance.
There was less than minute to go
when Stabler a deadly shot at short
range, received the ball directly un-
der the basket and rang UP the final
points.
That Alabama's margin wasn't
larger was due to the missing of
several shots that should have been
easy. They kept the ball popping
against the board like Stribiing's
left shoots against an opponents
nose and many additional points
should have resulted. The clubmen
were hanging on like bulldogs, but
it simply wasn't thei rinning. There
is little doubt but that the best team
tonight had the verdict rendered in
its favor.

showing featured for the winners,
with Eatman's guarding also being
conspicuous. Lee was the scoring
leader for the losers, but none of the

IN AVE EVANS has announced
dates for the city champion
ship boxing tournament for
amateurs. A week from Monday
night will be the time for the meet
ing of Birmingahm's young mitt
Fingers, and Dave states that, judg-
ing from the present outlook, an UNI
usually promising crop of young
boxers will turn out for the meet.
Practically all of the old school OF
amateurs have been scattered, or
have entered professional fields. New
Corners have stepped to the fore, how
ever. and a high class of amateur
battling will probably be presented
on the night of February 5.
The lighter classes seem best en-
tered, although there are a few of the
bigger fellows expected to take part.
Evans stated Friday that an entry
list will be announced soon. He also
stated that he will probably arrange
one or two special classes to take
case of entrance of some of the very
small chaps who want to try their
luck.
The amateur show at the Bir-
mingham Athletic club a week
from next Monday night will take
the place of the regular athletic
show mt the Ii. A. G. Evans be-
Iieves that fandOm is being Of
