"Or course, it is perfectly natural to suppose that all the south Ala bama teams will pull for the tourna- ment at Montgomery for the simple reason that 1t will be nearer to them and would save them the expenses of coming to Birmingham.
 No Difference In Meets
 T can see no difference between the B. A. C. tournament and the Au- burn tournament, for certainly there will be teams from all over the south in the Auburn tournament. If association teams are allowed to go to Auburn they ought to be allowed to go to Birmingham
 As far as my own school is con- cerned we can go anywhere. Our ath- letic association will see to that. But right is right. Before the officials refuse the member teams to enter the B. A. c. tournament, they should have, in my judgment, referred the matter to the member tams to pass on. This would be more democratic to say the least Of it.
 'All that l have said here is in be- half of the smaller teams who would like to participate in the tournament but cannot finance the trip to Mont gomery. I trust that the officials ol the hiSn school association will yet reverse themselves and allow the member teams who wish to do so, to enter the Birmingham tournament. It will mean more tC the State High School Athletic association than any thing the officials could do, to mal e the association success in the flu ture. Yours truly, J. l.. ADERS,
 Principal Leeds High school"

ENSLEY IS WINNER BY I3 TO 1T SCORE OVER WOODLAWN
Zack Walker Leads Jackets to Victory in Second City
 Series Game

Ensley High won their game from Woodlawn Tuesday night at the Ath- letic club by two-point margin when they beat the latter 13 to sI1. It was a game that was played from start to finish without a slack mo- ment. Both teams put up strong defensive game which was especially hot under the baskets.
 Woodlawn took the lead early in the game, but did not retain it long. The game see-sawed with one team leading then the other throughout the greater part of it. Woodlawn was three points in the lead at the end of the first half and it looked like a Woodlawn victory. However, the Ens1ey defensive game in the last half held down Woodlawn's scoring, while Zach Walker, the flashy little Bnsley forward, broke loose with some pretty field goal shooting that gained lead for the Yellow Jackets.
 Walker was the offensive star of the game. His field goals in the sec ond half were largely responsible for Ensley's win. Ruble Moore was the offensive star for Woodlawn. He got two of their three field goals. Burns, at center, played a good game and looped the other field goal for Woodlawn. English starred at guar1 for Ensley. The line-ups follow:
 Ensley (13)-McCain and Walker CD, forwards; Martin CD, center; Lcwery and English (D, guards.
 Woodlawn Q1)-Sellers (5) and R. Moore (4), forwards; Burns CD, cen- ter; A. Moore and Cawthorne, guards.
 itutions-Ensley: Malloch for Mccain.

Aders Fears Dissolution Of Association If Members
 Barred From B. A. C. Meet

J. L. Aders. principal Of Leeds High school, in following up his sug- gestion of a Jefferson county prep basketball tournament has written a letter to the sporting editor of the Age-Herald, which should prove Of interest to every high school player and athletic official in the state.
 Aders states in his letter that he believes refusal of the State High School Athletic association to allow it's members to compete in the Bir- mingham Athletic club tournament next month will result in the disso- lution of the association, or the loss of some of it's strongest members. Aders letter follows:
 January 30. 1923. Dear Mr. Mccarthy:
 Referring again to the proposed county basketball tournament. 1 wish to say that I have had letters from several teams in the county. already, in which they state that they are highly pleased with the suggestion. It would be worth while, 1 am sure, for some one in Birmingham to get behind this thing and make it go.
 Dissolution Probable
 T feel. also, that unless the offi- cials of the State High School Athletic association grants the right to the member teams to enter the state tournament at the B. A. c. that it will mean the dissolution of the state or ganization. knew of several strong teams who are members of the state organization who will withdraw be- fore they will go to the Montgomery tournament while one is being staged at Birmingham.

Mandy Offensive Star as the B. A. C. WaIIopS Camp
 Benning

The Birmingham Athletic club five won hotly contested game from Camp Benning soldiers Tuesday night on the Athletic club court by score of 8 to 25. The game was in doubt until late in the last half when the Clubbers gained substantial lead over the Soldiers The first half ended with the Blues leading by two points. Mandy shot a goal from the field just as the timers pistol went eff, ending the half
 Both teams displayed a good offen- sve with the Camp Benning outfit showing a little more team work in passing and following the ball. The Athletic clubs shooting close to the goal was their greatest offensive factor. On the other hand, the Sol diers shot most of their field goals from long range, especially Smith, who shot three from near the center of the field. Whittemore also counted twice from the center of the court
 Camp Benning opened up strong and had counted four points before tEe Blues could get moving. The lat ter gained the lead late in the first half and held it for most of the game Camp Benning rallied late in the last half, but could not over take the locals.
 Mandy was undoubtedly the offen- sive star of the game. He scored 12 points, from the field and five fouls out of possible eight. His floor work was also big offensive fac tor. Hahn and Floyd caged three field goals each, while Stubbs, sub stituting for Montgomery, dropped two through the basket.
 The shooting was general on the Soldiers side. Every man on the team got at least one field goal, Smith, Brand and Vevia got three each, Whittemore got two and Mill lard one. Brands floor work was a feature of the Camp Benning offen- sive. The line-ups follow:
 B. A. c. (33)-Mandy CID and Floyd co, forwards; Hahn (6), center; Montgomery and Afford, guards.
 Camp Benning (25)-Millard CD and Nevia (6), forwards; Brand (6l, center; Whittemore (4) and Smith CD, guards.

BLUES WIN CAME HARRY CREE WINS WITH LAST HALF BOUT IN DEFENSE
 RALLY, B TO 25OF CHAMPIONSHIP

NEW YORK. Jan. 30.-Harry Greb of Pittsburg successfully defended his American lght-heavyweight title to- night against Tommy Louchran, youthful Philadelphia challenger, in a 15-round bout at Madison Square Garden. The judges decision dis pleased a minority of the fans.
 The fight was slow. Greb fought as typically of his style as he could, swinging without direction and but ting with his head, for which he was constantly cautioned. Loughran's cool and clever defense kept Greb from being entirely himself kept the challenger from severe punish ment, but 1t also kept him out of the title.
 It was not until the tenth round that Greb struck out boldly, but he was unable to do much damage. The challenger did not take the lead un- til the next to the last round and in the fifteenth far surpassed the champion in all departments, rock ing Greb with a hard right to the jaw.

FINDS FLORIDA HAS, Branch Hickey Fears CHEAP ELECTRICITY The Outfield Problem

Ross c. Smith of the Acme Lum Der & Coal company returned Tuesday from Jacksonville, Fla, greatly i'm pressed by the cheapness of electric current in the Florida city
 "It was hard off me to figure out why Jacksonville should have so much cheaper rate than exists in Birmingham" said MT. Smith. "The rate Is so reasonable there that cleo tricity is used very extensively for cookin gand here In Birmingham those of us who live too far out to get gas would certainly appreciate it If the electric rates were such that we could use current in cook ing.
 ''The difference in rates is espe- cially notable because Jacksonville makes electricity from coal and that city has blgh rate on coal while Birmingham has hydro electricity. IL seems to me that some one would be performing a real public service by compiling the electric rates in va rious southern cities to see how they compare with our water power rates in Birming ham,"
