 Firpo has abandoned his plans for a trip to Canada and now intends to sail for South America on October 6, going down the west coast of the lower continent and working his way across to Buenos Aires by gfv- ing exhibitions in various South American cities. 4e4
 In the meantime he can greatly please Police Commissioner Enrfght by absenting himself and his wild bull automobile from the downtoNn streets. The commissioner made this request informally in letter ito Firpo which explained that the de- partment had not enough men to af- ford him constant bodyguard 5ot pilot cops and outriders whenever he wished to spin about town.

John c. Carter commanding and the Hath squadron; Maj. James A. Meissner, commanding.
 The game will begin promptly at 9:30 o'clock and will be divided into Six periods of 5 minutes each, three periods to each half. Captain Carter's expert riders will lead an added fea- ture to the occasion by a riding ex hibition between the fifth and sixth periods. This promises to be one of the most thrilling exhibitions ever of tered the Birmingham public. Cor poral Lambert and Sergeant Frazier will stage a Roman race, the first of its kind ever held before a Birming- ham audience. This race is run four bareback horses abreast to each rider whose feet rest on each outside horse while he guides the horses around the course.

RETURN BOUT FOR FIRPO WILL NOT COME THIS YEAR
Argentine Is Willing To Fight Both Wills And Dempsey
 Next Year

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-Though return match between Jack Demp- sey and his Argentine rival, Luis Angel Firpo, is regarded by ring fol- lowers as inevitable, details of their second clash for the heavyweight title may not be arranged for some time, probably not until next year, when the battle is most likely to take place.
 X Tex Rickard. promoter of the his toric battle at the Polo Grounds, week ago, has made little headway in negotiations this week with Firpo and Jack Kearns, the. champions manager, despite the willingness of both fighters to enter the ring again. Firpo Is averse to being involved in another long term contract such as he had with Rickard this year He is willing to fight Harry Wills, negro contender, in addition to Dempsey but not until next year. He prefers to wait until then before coming to definite agreement. gA s~
 Kearns, on the other hand, has several tempting theatrical, motion picture and exhibition offers for Dempsey but declared tonight that he would give none of them serious consideration for sometime. He has three offers from English promoters for exhibition tours of the British Isles and Europe, as well as pro posal for a visit to Mexico City.
 The champions dapper manager has conferred in some detail with Rickard regarding a return match with Firpo but, like the Argentine, for awhile. He probably will leave in few days for Los Angeles, where he will join Dempsey and decide upon plans for the immediate future.

CAL GRID SEASON AGAINST MARION CADETS
JIMMY FINLEY PUTS HARRY CARTER TO SLEEP IN THIRD ROUND OF. BOUT AT B. A. C.
Bell Saves New Orleans Box CT In Second, But Right Hook Ends Bout In Third

Jimmy Finley of Louisville knocked out Harry Carter ot New Orleans in the third round of q scheduled 10-round bout at the B. A. C. Friday night. It was very apparent from the outset-the ultimate winner. Jimmy started in like he intended to make it brief affair and get to bed for good nights rest before he hopped over to the scene of his next battle.
 He took the offensive from the first and drove Carter hitner and thither about the ring with nis ter ri1tc drives to the body lie drove Carter through the ropes twice in the first round and had his nose bleeding and face bloody.
 Carter was no match for the az gressive Jimmy and the bout was virtually ended in the second round, but with the New Orleans boxer pros trate on the floor the gong sounded at the count of four and gave him another chance. 1t. was of no dvaiL however, Tor Finley came ln with vicious right and lett, one-two blows to the body, and soon had Carter on the ropes. A right to the body fin ished him
 Jimmy was using his left most of the time and sent Carter out of the ring with it twice in the first round. In the second round he used a body blow and followed it up with lett to the jaw effectively. Carter was downed for the. count of nine with a right hook to the jaw and was floored again with the same blow soon after he had regained his feet, but tht bell saved 6im this time.
 Finley has put on lot more speed and science since he appeared here before, and outclassd the Crescent City boy at all stages of the bout.
 The preliminary bouts were un- usually good.
 Max Scholder and Kid Paisley opened the program with wrestling match that stirred up quite bit or pep. The bout went 10 rounds to a draw Neither wrestler was able to pin the others shoulders, aithous h at different times it seemed that each almost had his man.
 Kid Lock knocked out Jack Per klns In the second round of their four-round bout. Lock landed il heavy wallop to the jaw that sent Perkins down in the first, and he never recovered
 Horace Hooper fought Young Bat ting Kelly to a draw in their four round bout. Hooper, although not as fast as Kelly, landed some sound wal lops and with little more training should give the Battler all he Is looking for.
 In the semi-final bout John Me Ginty won a decision over Big Boy Edwards in a six-round bout. Me Ginty was too fast for the Boys club boxer, although the latter got in some good wallops.
 It was announced that Capt. Boh Roper would box Joe Lohman in the B. A c. ring on october s.

CRIMSONS TO HOLD
 SCRIlWMAGE WITH FRESHMEN ELEVEN
Saturdays Play Will Give Students Chance To Size
 Up Prospects

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Sept 21.-Coach- Wallace Wade and Coach Bully" Van de Graaf got their heads together in the last two days and after a con- ference decided to give Crimson fans little exhibition of football Sat -urday afternoon by putting the varsity squad against the freshman squad on Denny field.
 This will be the first opportunity given Crimson students to judge in rather accurate degree what men will represent the Capstone in the respective schedules to be played. The freshman squad has decreased to a great extent the past few days. and Bully" aided his work somewhat by slicing the remaining aspirants into two divisions. However, this, division is not final, for the freshman mentor frankly admits practice has not ad- vanced to the stage where he in- tends placing a squad significance to group of freshmen.
 Coach Wade has not said a word concerning where he will use the players seeking berths. and every day sees a player in a different posi- ton from what he was the day previ- ous. At present, Whitaker sand Clemens are playing ends on the first eleven, with Dany and Hudson pitted against them. Which of the three men
 
 the season starts is hard to say, for all three men seem to be equal to ehe task.
 Baty and Hubert are not indulging in the scrimmage that goes on at Denny field every afternon. These two flashy backs are listed among the slightly-injured, and no haste is being made to have them hurry up. Both are of known caliber. Hubert is expected to play a game at fulback this year that should earn him berth on the mythical all-southern eleven, while Baty is such a fierce tackler and charger that he looks sure to play a back position.
 The sideline prophets are begin- ming to see in Allan MacCartee, another "Stumpy" Bartlett, last years threat quarterback. MacCartee demonstrated on several occasions last year that he was a good ground gainer. He also showed he could punt with quite a little bit of distance. This year he Is showing he can pass the ball. His fault of fumbling last

year seems to have been overcome.
 Coach Wade has been devoting a great deal of his time to the pass ing and bunting end of the game. MacCartee has been doing quite a bit of both on the first eleven, while Mack Brown has been booting the oval with quite bit of success. On the second eleven, McClintock has been getting off some lengthy punts and seems able to pass the pigskin with a great deal of accuracy. Dick Emmett is holding down the signal callers job on the third eleven at Gmes.
 Saturdays matinee should give both Coach Wade and Coach Van de Graaf as good deal of ipforma tion relative to the effectiveness of the two teams and of the different players. In scrim- mage between varsity eleven, 1t has been necessary, for both elevens to work with signals uncaned, for the men know the signals and could easily break up the plays. It will be quite different in Saturday affairs from now on. for~one lone week re- mains before the initial clash will be staged against the Union Univer- stty eleven at Denny field.

to the campaign committee of which Mrs. Palmer Daugette is chairman.
 Mrs. Solon Jacobs read an important letter from Mrs Maud Wood Park, president of the national league. The letter. in part, follows:
 Washington, D. C., Oct. 5, 1923. Dear State President:
 It is with great eagerness that l take up direct communication with you again As I went from the Des Moines convention to Europe to attend the Rome congress and to be your commissioner in a woman to woman" investigation on world peace, it is fitting that I should make my first general letter to you an urgent call to work on the world court delega- tiens to senators which, you will re- member, were planned at Des Moines. My whole European experience strengthened me in the belief that every possible cooperative enterprise that was as individuals, the league as an organization, or our govern ment can conscientiously join in is worth trying in the hope of stabiliz- ing world conditions. For that reason I consider our efforts for the world court of the utmost importance this autumn.
 The members of the executive com mittee. who have the responsibility of deciding which of the national leg islative measures in the program adopted by the convention shall be given precedence as major meas ures," have just met in Washington and voted that the proposal made by President Harding to the Senate for the entrance of the United States into
