Magic City Quntets Are Ready For the Cage Games Of M End
CRIMSON QUINTET MEETS TECH FIVE ATLANTA FRIDAY

UNIVERSITY. Ala, Feb S.-(Spe- cial)-Alabama's undefeated quintet runs against it's hardest game of the year Friday night, when they en- counter the strong Georgia Tech five in Atlanta.
 Random most probably fayors the Crimson whirlwind in this contest, due to the fact that she has regis tered 15 consecutive victories. which is q southern record for straight wins. But with q veteran team back, and in first-class condition, everyone is aware of the task of whipping Tech in her own back yard.
 Last year Alabama swamped the Jackets on the University court, and were greatly favored in her return battle in Atlanta, but the dope bucket was once more spilled when Tech gave the Crimson team a defeat.
 Tech has turned in five straight wins in her last six games, and ap- pears to be at the height of con dition, while Alabama, with the loss of Stabler al forward, has not shown the form that she did in her invasion of Kentucky and Atlanta earlier this year. The loss of Stabler will be greatly felt by the Crimson ma- chine, as this six-footer was one of the most accurate foul tossers in Dixie, besides being a bear under the basket. His position will most probably be filled by Propst, who will have to be shifted from his guard position, and McClintock will take Propst's place at guard. This combination, while working rather smoothly in the three encounters of this week, will not be the scoring machine that it was with Stabler at his old position.
 Coach Bernier, in spite of the fact that his chargers have won three games in the last two days. called practice for Thursday evening. in or- der to give the squad a final groom ing in preparation for the Jackets.
 With Stabler the only man missing from the lineup, and the rest of the squad in first class condition, the probable lineup against Tech will be: Forwards, Captain McGaul- ey and Propst; center, Carter; guards, Hudson and McClintock.

the game, IS the result was not so important. Anyway, the Senators got a man on base and Abbey, I be- lieve it was, took a vicious swing and slammed a drive toward right field that seemed a sure home run.
 On top of the railing in front of the right field bleaehers there were three or four strands of barbed wire just a little higher than the out fielder's head It seemed sure that tho ball would clear this barbed wire
 KeeIer's Great Catch
 Willie Keeler started with the crack of the bat and got to the fence in time, but it looked as if the ball would go into the stand over his head. That's what it did do-almost.
 Seeing the .predicament. Willie leaped in the air and fearlessly stuck his bare hand between the strands of barbed wire. The ball struck in his hand and he held 1t. He held it, despite the painful cutting of his hand as he dragged 1t back over the sharp barbs.
 That catch was talked about for months. I have never seen another like it. It showed marvellous judg- ment of distance, accuracy and un- usual courage.
 An odd aftermatch to that catch is that while was talking about it one night on the train with some of the New York baseball reporters in 1905 one of them spoke up.
 Mac" he said, your memory Is certainly accurate. l was boy of IS then, and was sitting in the bleachers that day, just in the spot where l would have got the ball if Keeler hadn't caught 1t.
 And funny thing about that. he added, T was asked about that catch by one of the baseball writers that night When read the stories in the paper the next day 1t gave me the notion of becoming baseball writer myself"
 Another Great Catch
 Another great catch that l remem- Der very well was made by Harry Hooper in that sensational game be- tween the Giants and the Red Sox which decided the worlds champion ship in 1912
 We were in a good position to win when Josh Devore got on first. Larry Doyle got hold of one and sent a long drive tearing toward right cen ter that bore a home-run label
 There was little fence about three feet high in front of the hleacher crowd out there-an over flow. Harry Hooper darted for the ball. Seeing that it would clear the

PREP QUINTETS TO MEET IN SERIES BATTLE SATURDAY
WoodIaWn and Central to Meet in Third TituIar
 Scrap At B. A. C.

Woodlawn and Central, contenders for the city high school basketball championship of 1923, will wind up their training campaigns fer their first meeting of the year at the B. A. c. Saturday night. The two local prep outfits will meet in the third game of he city championship series, each having met and been de- feated by Ensley in previous series battle
 If comparative scores are used as a basis for dopi- 3 out the Wood- Iavn-Centra1 game, it would seem that the Junior Celonels and Grim sons are scheduled to stage a gruel- ling battle, with the element of chance entering into .hs final decis- ion of the winner. Both Woodlawn ard Central lost to Ensley by very few points, while Central de- feated Haleyville by a marginonly two points large. thaa that of the vic tory Of the Junior Colonels over the same team.
 The city cries now stands as fol- lows:
 W. L. PCT Ensley ..................2 100O Woodlawn ...............0 OUV Central ............... ..=....V wv
 Although EnSley Of course, mas d strong hold on the title as result of it's victories over both Central and Woodlawn, either the two latter teams would still be very much in the running by win SatL-da night.
 Lineups Unchanged
 It is probable that the same ltne- ups which save been =tarting the games for Woodlawn and Central lately be started Saturday night. Woodlawn has an aggressive, well passing and sure shooting combina- tion as follows: l.. Sellers and R. Moore, forward M. Burns, center; A. Moore and Cawthorn, guards.
 Central star d the season with the following lineup and has kept ir in- tact throughout: Mills an Captain Yong. forwa s; Anderson, center; Holde- and Sanford, gua- ds.
 The Centrally ood-awn game will begin at o'clock Saturday night, proceeding the B. A. C.-Auburn clash and the , -.nce that follows the second game.

Birmingham Friday morning TOT Tuscaloosa where they will meet the fast Alabama Freshmen five Fri day night. The Tornado beat the Baby Crimson Tide in Birmingham couple of weeks ago, but since that time the Freshmen have come out and are going like house afire. A week ago they defeated the fast Sid- ney Lanier team by score of 40 to 23. A short time before that Coach Reynolds outfit was able only to gain a 27 to 25 victory over the Poets. Alabama also swamped t.-e Holt High school outfit earlier in the season by score of 27 to '.
 Rogers, at center, has turned out to be one of the offensive stars of the Crimson outfit. He is an ac- curate shooter and was the star of the Lanier game. Andy Cohen, from Fl Paso. and Tom Anderson, from Birmingham. are the star forwards of the Alabama crew. Cohen is sure shooter and an excellent passer while Anderson is a shooter of no small ability and is good running mate for Cohen. McGauley is the star defensive man. He runs the floor and is after the ball at all times.
 Whether the Tornado will be able to repeat and hand the Crimsons an- other licking Is doubtful. Although the Simpson five looked better in the game with Bessemer Wednesday night than ever before on a local court the strength of the Freshmen seems to have grown in a greater proportion than has Simpsons.
 Coach Reynolds will probably take Vincent, Senn, Byrd, Carroll, Fergu- son, McDorman. Wesley and Wright on the trip. The first named five are the most likely starters at for wards, center and guards in the order named. Simpson may stay over to play Tuscaloosa High Saturday afternoon.

fence he leaped backward caught the ball and fell over the little fence into the crowd. But for that catch I am certain the Giants would have won. It would have changed the whole complexion of the game and there would have been no opportu nity for the last two plays that spelled havoc-Merkle and Meyer failing to catch the foul back of first base and Snodgrass making the huff in center.
 Played for Ruth
 Another great catch of more re- cent date was that of Bill Cunning ham when he caught that terrific long fly of Ruth's in the last series with the Tanks, falling against the centerfield fence as he made it.
 We had sort of suspected that Ruth would pull one of those long range shots of his. At any rate we took no chances on not being ready. Cum ningham played just as far back as possible. At that he had to run as far as he could and then fall against the fence to make the catch.
 That catch may not have had much effect on the final outcome of the series. but 1t certainly had a great effect in lowering Ruth's morale. h. cidentally, that is the longest fly ball I ever have seen caught.
