RExY W. D. SMITH, head O

n REXY W. D. SMITH, head of
 the Birmingham Baseball asso- A citation, must have something up his sleeve, as he discusses the 1923 schedule for the Southern league. Smith, along with Bob Allen, of Little Rock, and Jules Heinemann of New Orleans, Is looking over sug- gested drafts fer the coming season, and Wednesday wired Billy West. secretary of the Baroniai club. to join him at New Orleans Thursday, where the moculs are discussing the sched- ule.
 Billy West left for New Orleans last night, mystified over Smiths urgent wire. Before he left Billy stated that so far as he knows, nothing in the way of deals or trades is pending. but that he will slip the he finds out what Smith wants with him in New Orleans.
 By the way, Billy West took
 rather thorough lesson in
 schedule making under Barney
 Dreysuss, who drafts the Na-
 tionai league menus. It may he

 ing an ideal schedule for the next
 campaign of the Southern
 leaRuers.
 It seems that the Southern league has lost first-cfass ball player, a cc cllege man at that. Glen Killinger. former Penn State football and base ball star, was sold to Atlanta by the New York Yankees. but press dispatches Wednesday stated that Kiilinger has been appointed asss- tant coach at Penn State.
 AS coach in three major sports, Killinger's time will be amply taken care of, without professional baseball duties 10 be looked after.
 It is hardly probable that Atlanta moguls will count on Killinger rounding out their infield, for Glen has stated that he expects to retire from professional baseball.
 Proxy Corbett and Company
 are probably not looking for any
 help from KillinEer, If the recall
 of Freddie Graft, himself a nifty
 third sacker, means anything.
 Graff will probably start on the <hot corner for the Crackers in
 April, when the curtain rolls up
 for another season in the south

 All reports in Birmingham Athletic club boxing circles are to the effect that the next bout at the B. A. c. will bring together Battling Kelly. an old time local favorite, and Jimmy Fin ley. Red Herring's protege.
 Dave Evans. of the Boys club, states that Kelly has trained consist ently since his last bout at the E. A. C., and has worked out almost daily at the Y. M. c. A.
 Red Herring, who launched Finley kon his ring career in Birmingham, told the writer that Jimmy has inn proved 100 per cent since he left the Magic City for his tour of Florida.
 Finley can battle and Kelly can box, and that brings together two more boys in that age-old combina- tion, science versus strength"

Judge Landis Affirms Right of Majors to Pass New
 Draft Rule

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-A specific rul- ing. demanded by the Pacific Coast league on the new major league rule increasing the optional player limit to Is was given out today by Base ball Commissioner Landis, affirming the right of the major leagues to take such action.
 "In my opinion it is the right of a major league club, not prohibited by the ma jor- minor agreement, in re- leasing a player to & minor league club by agreement with that club to protect the player in his right to advancement as against the selection exemption policy of any club"
 Minors to Meet
 A special meeting of the minor leagues to take united action against the major leagues plan to retain draft powers on players they have farmed out is advocated in an an- nouncement today by President A Tearney of the Three I and Western leagues, two of the five anti-draft circuits.
 President Toole of the International league, another of the anti-draft group, in a telegram received here has joined the protest against the new major league rule. He declares that it violates the ma1or-mlnor ruiei which stipulates Assignment oi players contracts by major to minor league clubs must in general be ab- solute assignments" This rule also permits major league clubs. to have eight players outeon option. The new major rule would increase the op- tional player limit to 15.
 The anti-draft minors objection to the new rule is said to center on the proposal to send players to the minors, under draft clauses when the Is player optional limit has been reached.

TOM MIX COMING TO
THE AMERICA THEATER
IN NEW WESTERN FILM

Recently Tom Mix discovered an
other use for the magic power of his
name IN addition to prompting peo-
pie to come into theatres n see his
pictures. He was driving his Dusen-
berg straight Eight which was
the first machine of its kind in Los
Angeles, through some heavy traf-
fic, and at a crossing bumped into
the rear of a fivver that had come
to n sudden stop.
The traffic cop rushed over and.
after getting the name of the driver
of the small car, asked who Mix
was. Flashing a smile of recognition
the cop went back to the other car
and delivered the following message:
Say. what'd'ya mean by backing
up into that fellow. e it now
before I hand you a ticket" With
n name like Tom Mix you could run
through traffic in any city and you
wouldn't need a straight eight"
either.
The latest Western produced by
William Fox starring Tom Mix is %
Jumps Ahead which will be seen
at the America theater starting Sat
urday.

FOR an open mind in the approach TO

Never has mankind faced difficult

so huge a scale" the president said.
The very destiny OF race. the fu.
ture OF civilization seem TO depend

sincere generous. broad.minded nc
ceptance OF that answer when It is
found.
I'VE shan not find an answer
which will be completely satisfactory
to any state or race or people, but
II we shall pursue our quest with
open mind. and with purpose of &C.
hieving the largest benefit for the
greatest number. I believe we shall
IN the end discover hat we have
those who seemed to be making
something OF sacrifice to the cmmon
welfare"
The president further advised that
pending the solution of the manifold
problems tho American people "hold
secure TO those paths made by the
fathers Of tho republic. In this con

ANOTHER WAY TO HELP YOUR
TOWN

In sizing things up, especially those
having bearing upon local condi-
tons, it is well to remember that
there is more than one angle from
which question should be viewed.
Many people err in judgment purely
from haste and over zealousness.
Impressions are often formed at
first glance, and unless person is
willing to probe beneath the surface
and consider all available facts those
first impressions viii remain and be-
come fixed convictions, irrespective of
whether they be right or wrong
Then there are those who, having
formed hasty conclusion, refuse to
recede from their position even when
confronted with indisputable proof of
their error of judgment. That is pure
stphbornness.
But in this town, as in all other
towns, there are many people who are

GOD KNOWS, THE FARMER
WANTS TO PAY

"The Federal Loan Board has as
sured Senator Gooding that the lane
bank at Spokane viii not be unreason
able in its demands upon Idaho farm
ers who have payments falling due
about now. While the Board takes
the position that loans must be re-
paid, it does not approve the arbitrary
announcement recently made in Idaho
that payments must be made immed
lately or else the government will
foreclose. The Board at Washington
is entirely willing that the farmers
shall have an opportunity to dispose
of their crops in an orderly way and
to the best possible advantage to
themselves, before being compelled to
meet their obligations to the land
bank. But while disposed to be len
lent in this respect the Board does
insist that payments must be made
promptly after crops have been mar
keted. Members of the Board with |
whom Senator Gooding has talked be-
lieve this consideration is due the
farmers; on the other hand, they in
sist that the farmer, in return, must
recognize his obligation to the gov
eminent.
This line of talk is some Of the af
termath of the Haunted credits the
government was going to help the
farmer out of the hole with; but how
in the name of reason is the farmer
going to pay interest on these loans
when he has nothing left to pay with,
after meeting his operating expense
accountf To say nothing of paying
the principal. She can't be done. -
No; congress-our great anything but
a helpful law-making body-has done
about all it could to dig hole for
the farmer and shove him into it, and
now it sits twiddling its thumbs and

poker while everybody tells the farm,
er to get busy and pay

present congress is reelected this fall,

THE PRESS ON THE LID,

The newspapers ought to quit pub
fishing so much scandal. y
You can hear such remarks any day
in the year, and from highly intelli-
gent people. But we disagree. They
do not stop to think. Unfortunately,
we have reached the point in this
country where but little respect is
shown for our laws, because the laws
are indifferently enforced, or not en-
forced at all.
Certain people can evade them with
ease. Others, less fortunate, must pay
he penalty. Occasionally there is
notable exception to this rule, but only
occasionally. 1t is for this reason we
are losing our respect for law and its
manner Of enforcement.
But it is different with the great |
newspapers Of the country-and also
nth the smaller ones They tell the
ruth as they find it. The man of |
treat wealth who forgets his manhood
is as pitilessly exposed as the one
without dollar-perhaps more SO.
This pitiless poblicity of the press is
The one safeguard that stands between
espectability and a reign of debauch-
Try that would rival the days of
jodom and Gomorrah.
There are millions of pure and high
minded people in this country, but
here are other millions who reek with
ilandestine infamy. Some agency
must keep this debauched element in
heck for the welfare of society in
general
The press, through its publicity, is
Meeting with a reasonable degree of
uccess, where the law is flunking on
he Job.
