RICHARD LIKES HEAVY FIGHTERS Says Little Fellows Are No Longer Any
 Good

NEW YORK, Dec. 80.-The '1ittls fellers," the flyweight, bantamweight and featherweight fighters, have de- clined so far in the last few years that Tex Rickard would rather match. pairs of second-rate ight-heavyweights or middleweights than engage the best fighters in the tot divisions. After the so-called championship fight next Friday night, in which Kid Kaplan and Danny Kramer will clout and clutch for the featherweight title vacated by Johnny Dundee, Rickard will lay off the Hit tie fellers," as he calls them, and invest heavily in combats between members of the middleweight and light heavy- weight divisions.
 "The little fellers have been spoiled and they're not much good anyway" Rickard said today. You have to give lem the earth with a diamond belt around it to get 'em into the ring and then they can't draw the customers.
 Berlenback Or Gibbons
 "I want fellers like this Paul Der lenbach or Tom Gibbons in my shows or maybe this Tiger Flowers, the colored man from Atlanta. A lot of people say Berlenbach ain't great fighter, but I notice he crowds lem in when he's on the bill. The first fifteen rows were full of bankers Friday night when Ber- 1enbach fought Larry Estridge, and 1t wasn't very good match, either, be- cause he outweighted Estridge too much.
 r "I'm going to try to get Gene Tunney in there with Berlenbach. Mickey Mo. Tigue says he's willing to fight Berlen- bach, too, and I'll use him if can fix it up with sthe boxing commission. The commission says he has got to fight Tunney before he fights Berlenbach. should think he'd rather have Tunney himself, because Gene can't hit like Paul, but McTigue says he wants Ber- lenbach and I'd like to get him what he wants. They'll sell out the house days in advance.
 ''Berlenbach and Tom Gibbons are the two best cards. I don't figure Ion matching them up yet while. I'd only be spelling one of the best gate mag. nets I've got and l. haven't got any to waste since the little fellers went bad. Flowers 10 Fight
 "Flowers is the kind of fighter I like. I've got a contract in my safe with his name on it, agreeing to fight any man in the world at any weight, bar one, that ones Willie Stribling of Atlanta. The only reason Flowers bars him is that he might whip Stribling and then he wouldn't dare to go back to Atlanta. You don't find any good drawing cards among the featherweights or bantams or flyweights.
 "Say, what do you think of this Firpo telling people over there in Paris who he's going to fight in, my shows? f See by the papers he says he is. going to l fight Wills and Gibbons for me. He'd better watch ou or they'll get him in the ring with that Paolino, the Spanish wood chopper, and get him chopped down. I hope that Paolino comes through good. They tell me he looks terrible. The tougher he looks the bet ter I'll like him. The touch lockers are good for promotion. Look how far Firpo went on his tough looks"

TTLDEN PROTEGE
 IN FINAL ROUND
Jacobs Meets Shields For Boys Tennis Singles
 Title

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-Edward Ja- ,cobs of Baltimore, 14-year-old protege of William Tilden, will seek the na- tional boys sin gles championship to- row when he opposes Frank Shields of Silver Beach, N. T., in the final round of this division of the indoor tourna- ment at the seventh regiment armory.
 Jacobs, who boasts juvenile brand of Tilden's famous "cannobalP service, won his way to the finals today by over whelming John Rau, Lawrence, N. 1, 60, 60. The Baltimore youth, as result, will be a favOrite to take the measure of his opponent, in the finals, Shields, who won the other seml-tlnal match today from B. H. McCaulltt, Fordham, 3-6, GA, GA.
 The battle for the junior singles crown resolved itself to rivalry be- tween the New York and Boston dis tricts with two survivors of each sec tion in the semi-finals tomorrow. Ken meth Appel of East Orange, N. J., and Mercersburg academy, the defending champion, will oppose H. l.. Johnson Of Newton academy, Waban, Mass, in the first semi-final while Horace Orzer Of Stuvesant High school will meet Nal coIm T. Hill, Newton academy, last years boys title holder, in the other match.
 This quartet also are doubles semi, semi finalists. Hill and Johnson, 1925 champions, advanced to the semi-finals today by defeating Wood Wins, Hobo ken, N. J., and John Millen, Newton! Mass, high school, 6-1, 7-5. Orser and Appel advanced by disposing of Robert Crum, Newark, and Winthrop Lens, Princeton, 6-1, 6-2.

Panthers Tackle Clubbers At B. A. C. Saturday Night
Cage Game Reigns Supreme In All Circles After
 Lay-Off During Holidays

High just prior to the holidays. They have a good bunch of basketeers In Byrd, Vincent, Burns, Mills and Sud dith.
 University High, with Mike Grabin and Bubsy McNally back, are counted to go strong, and are doped to have good season. Besides Grabin and Me Nally, the Gamecocks have three other letter men in Wood, Mccoy and Burt.
 Phillips, with Jaffe, Anderson and Sanford around which to build their cage combination, will have the strong est basketball outfit which has been sent forth from the Crimson stronghold since 1921, when the local contingent romped through to the state title.
 WOOdIawn And Ensley
 Woodlawn and Ensley, despite the fact that the former has only one let ter man, Mitchell Burns, back and the latter did not have basketball combine last season, will have excellent teams and will give considerable trouble to those aspiring for district and state honors.
 The collegiate quintets will be much stronger than a season back, and will make the cage season in Birmingham much more interesting. There will be three major quintets, the two colleges and the B. A. C., rather than one, dur ing the coming season.
 Towards prospects are good, with fine sprinkling of veteran talent, cen- tered around Toby Stubbs and Polly Scokel, and will likely go strong.
 Panthers Take Interest
 Renewed interest is being taken in basketball at Birmingham-Southern college, and Coach Drew is working likely-looking squad hard in order to whip together a good combination. Skeebie Caldwell and Ben Englebert, as forwards; Kimbr0ugh and Teague, centers, and McDorman and Hall, guards, are all fine prospects, and have had considerable experience, with the exception of Hall, who is being heralded as one of the Magic City's coming back guards. He is rangy, and made good in football last season in his first year out for the team.
 The B. A. c. Blues, following vic- tory over Baylor in the opener and a successful holiday trip, are all set for a great season, and this major quintet should furnish greater thrills for basketball followers Tn the Magic City than for several years.
 Erwin has a galaxy of star in Hil- burn, Anderson and Mandy, forwards i; Hub and Fred Hahn, centers; Leake, Ferguson, Duke and Montgomery, guards, with several others who are going to spring forth into the limelight.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-12-31

Basketball again reigns supreme in the Magic City, as the athletes of prep and college, drafting back for their scholastic duties, are answering the call of the court.
 The Panthers of Sunshine Slopes will don the thin attire Friday for a single practice session before tackling the strong quintet of the Birmingham Athletic club in the feature opening en- counter of the new year next Saturday night at the club.
 Howard college Bulldogs will gather for their initial practice engagement Friday and prepare for an arduous campaign being mapptl out by Toby Stubbs, coach and star of the squad.
 Phillips, Woodlawn and Ensley, mem bers of the city triumvirate, went forth on the court last Monday afternoon for their initial workouts following the holi- days, and some intensive drills are ex- pected to result for the trio.
 Simpson And University
 Simpson school starts work imme- diately following their holiday vacation, while the University High Gamecocks will hold their first practice session of the season at the B. A. c. Wednesday ftefnoon.
 The Sunday school Leaguers get back
 70 action after a weeks lay-off on .riday night and will make the local Y" but with their activities during ;lhe week in preparation for the sched- uled encounters. The city league again gets into competition next Wednesday night, this loop taking two weeks rest for the Christmas holidays.
 The B. A. c. Blues did not have a letup and continued at fast pace through the holiday season. opening their heavy cage schedule with a big conflict with the Baylor Bears last Fri day night, winning by a neat margin. Then Coach Erwin embarked Monday on a two-day trip into Georgia, playing Camp Benning and Albany "" on suc- cessive nights. Following their return Wednesday, the Clubbers will be worked right on, getting into shape for the bat tie with the Panthers of Birmingham Southern a few daSs later, Saturday night.
 Greatest Season
 The activities on the court are really taking renewed form, and before fort night Birmingham's greatest basketball season will be well under way.
 The local high school will have a great season.
 Simpson, with two veterans of their championship quintet back, will have one of the strongest machines in the Magic City, and have a fine chance to repeat, despite their defeat by Dora

Greatest Play
 IEver Saw
By OWEN BUSH Of Washington In 1928

In 1908 was sold to Detroit by the Indianapolis club, and on my way to report to them stopped off to see a game between the Giants and Cubs, who were battling for the National league lead, and the winner of which would play my new club in the worlds series. Because of that stopover I witnessed one of the most remarkable double play s 0n record.
 Chicago was leading by a score of 2 to 1 when New York came in for the seventh inning and with Brown pitch ing it looked as though the game was won. Bresnahan, the first batter up, singled, and Donlin smashed two- base hit to right, Bresnahan going to third. The "break" had come and the Cubs were in a panic.
 Seymour poked a Texas leaguer to right field, and Johnny Evers made his wonderful play. He pretended to have lost the direction of the ball, and stood still until the last possible moment. Donlin, seeing the ball falling safe, dashed for third, intending to tear Tn behind Bresnahan, and give New York the lead.
 Seeing his trick had worked, Johnny caught the ball by an almost super human leap, and, instead of throwing the ball to Tinker, hurled it to the plate, intending to prevent Brenahan from scoring on the double play, which he might have done. The latter was driven back to third, and King, tearing into the infield, took the throw, and whipped it back to second base, com pleting the double play.
 For sheer audacity, quick thinking and mechanical perfection that play has never been equaled so far as have seen. Few men would have taken tht chance Evers did in letting the bal appear to drop safe, and few combina tions could have carried the play or so speedily as Tinker and Kling dit after he had started it.
 Yes, you may mark that down as thu greatest play ever saw.

how to pitch. He had a crossfire that few have used with anywhere near the success that Plank achieved. He had everything.
 Plank had marvellous control for a left-hander," says Cobb. "He had a fine drop ball and a deceptive curve and he delivered from almost any angle, making it extremely difficult to judge his delivery. He nearly always had the batter in a hole. And after he lost his fast ball he still stayed in the big leagues. That is feat, since a left-hander must have a fast ball to be successful. But Plank worked until he developed a good slow ball to take the place of the fast one he lost, and I want to say I never saw a better slow ball.
 "Cy Young has a record that will probably not be touched unless it IS by Walter Johnson. But don't con slider Young greater than Walsh or Plank, because Young pitched for

CLEARWATER, Fla, Dec. 3O.- Charles H. Ebbetts, president of the Brooklyn baseball club, questioned this afternoon regarding rumors to the eff feet that Emmett McCann, second base man, and Jim Poole, first baseman of the Portland club, would be members of the Brooklyn team next year, said that he talked with the manager of the Portland club on this subject when in the north recently. He dclined to make Il statement regarding the result of this conference further than to say that Johnny, Jones, infielder, will be re- leased to Portland and that there will be other exchanges later.
