 Senator Brewer said the people of Jefferson county had a rule whereby they vote against anything favored by The Birmingham News.
 "The Birmingham News printed an article against the annexation" said Senator Brewer. They say take their advice-do you know that when it faVors something the rule in my county is to vote against 1t; 1t is the same newspaper that denounced every member of this senate except seven and every member of the house ex- 12 as demagogues because we saw fit to ask the Alabama Power company to come in for a fair share of the states burden"
 Senator Brewer calmly assailed the men who had attacked his bill. His dl ulItlll Cdule Just DelOT6 the vote was taken He outlined why he wished to annex the city and an swered points raised by those who had spoken against it.

 Gus Benners is here represerting, the steel trust" he told his fe.e jws senators. As lawyer. I know he is doing his duty. Yet, he was de- feated when he sought to represent the people of my county in the house, and this man Mcdowell, also was turned down by the voters of Jeff ferson county But they come here and have more weight ttln the one who was sent here by the voters to represent them.
 There is George Ward. Nothing but discredited and defeated poli7 tlclan, Who could not be elected to the office of garbage collector to- day. Fred M.

 Senator Bonner said he would waive senatorial courtesy and vote against the bill as he was firm in his opinion that the people of Ensley did not care for the anneXat ton. He said nothing had been shown that would indicate Birmingham would SlVe any better school system, sani- | tation. water power, police protection or sewerage than what the plant now had.
 Senator Martin objected strenu- ! ously to the waiVing of senatorial courtesy, saying the senate was on dangerous grounds and had better go slow on senatorial courtesy or some member would see it return on some other question.

A reference had been made to a lobby. Two gen. tlcTen. both of whom I have known for years, have broached me on the subject. No one from a corporation has said a word to me-"
 For the past few days, Gus Ben ners, Borden Burr and others who appeared before the senate commit tee have been in the capital city working in the defeat of the bill, it was learned.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LEAGUE
COURT GAMES START SOON

When the Sunday School Athletic
League opens on January 4 in the
Y. M. c. A. gym, games will be con-
fined to senior and junior basketball,
it having been decided to wait until
a later date to start the church
volley ball league. Although the
Simpson M. u. and First Presby-
terrain churches were the only ones
whose representatives were positive
that they would have basketball
teams entered in the league, at least
two other churches are expected to
decide to enter teams within the
next few days.
Any church desiring to enter
teams can do so by getting in touch
with Physical Director Loren j.
Reyes on or before Thursday of next
week. The Simpson M. e. teams
have proven superior to other com
binations in the past but the Pres
byterians have hopes of breaking
this winning streak this year.
A S. S. A. l.. bowling league will
likely be started also this season
among the men representing the va
rious churches. Volley ball will also
be played at a later date.

of players of the Metropolitan Bas-
ketball League will furnish the OPP
position to Frank Bruggy's Elizabeth
basketball team on the Turn Hall
court, Elizabeth, this Sunday after

this encounter, but it is understood
that men from several of the leading
clubs have been signed for the en-
gagement.
Three games have been played by
the Elizabeth representatives to
date, the Meadowbrooks of Newark
and the Jersey City Police going
down before the Betsytown court
sters, and the National Turner's OF

MAY PERFORM
Strong Metro Quintet Proba-
bly, Will Play AmboyS
Early in 1924

Ike Levin, booking manager for the
Perth Amboy Big Five basketball
squad, the strongest representative
team of this city and the combina-
ton that won the state title last
winter, is dickering with the booking
manager of the Trenton team in the
Metropolitan league, for a contest on
the Auditorium court.
The team organized last winter by
Messrs. Lowenkopf and Levin, made
a wonderful record. Two good games
were played with the Original Celtics
Of New York City, the worlds
champions, and the strong Kingston
club, claimants OF the worlds title
suffered a setback In an interesting
contest here. All of the other lead
ing teams In two states played
against the Levin-Lowenkopf COM
bination on the local two basketed
court.
If the Trenton club is booked, fans
in this vicinity will be given their
second opportunity to see stretch
Meehan, the tallest mar in basket
ball, in action on a local court. Nee
han played with the Riversides
against the st. Peters Club, on the
Rector street court years ago, and
has not played here since. He has
a capable supporting cast on the
Capital City squad.
Trenton is one OF the strongest
teams in the Metro circuit and is up
in the first half fight.

Who will manage the Washington

Who will manage the Washington
Nationals in 1924? =
AS yet no one has been appointed
to succeed DOME Bush, who, despite
the fact he finished fourth, was fired.
Failure to name a manager at the
Chicago meeting of the major league
has caused the gossips to spread the
rumor that Clarke Griffith will once
again don the managerial toga.
Griffith, now president and part
owner of the Washington club, was
for years a major league manager
of note. When he al elevated to
the presidency of the club, he de-
cided to retire from the active end
OF the playing game.
The managerial germ, however
remained in his system, for Clyde
Milan, who managed the club in
1922 and DOME Bush, who lead the
team last season, say the policy OF
the club was largely dictated by
Griffith.
1t is said that Frank Chance, who
was once seriously considered as
Bush's successor, refused to consider
the proposition because he did not
believe he would be given entire
control, the only basis on which he
would accept the Management.
Failure to land several desirable
candidates that Griffith had under
consideration, is said to have caused
him to seriously consider the advis-
ability Of again taking up the reins

Next year Carl Mays, stormy
petrol of baseball and noted subma-
rine hurler, late of the New York
Yankees, will wear a Cincinnati uni
form.
Mays shot his bolt as an American
Lacquer. He hasn't been a star
pitcher for three years. Baseball
men say he slumped when he sud
denly lost his fast ball. Mays used
to have a battling fast ball, n that
came to the batter on a rise, and
then dipped abruptly.
Mays threw his fast ball and his
curve ball with the same motion,
starting the delivery almost at his
shoe tops.
In the days when he had both a
fast ball and a curve the batter was
continuously bewildered; he could
never tell from the of Mays
aelivery whether to expect a fast
ball or a curve. That was n rea-
son why he vas so effective In his
y Hrn1nB d-ys.
Mays is expected to get along
fairly well in the National League
despite the fact that he no longer
has a fast ball. Mays peculiar form
of delivery will be puzzling to the
batters for a while. He still has q
mice curve ball and good control.
Manager Moran of the Reds evil
IDENTITY thinks he is worth a gamble
and announces that Mays will be
