LeaUe Friddy For Montgomery 70 Encounter Athletics
OLD BREACH INV HIGH ! SCHOOL RANKS HEALED
Entrance Of Phillips And Woodlawn High Schools Into State Athletic Association Ter
 inmates Long Controversy

A breach, which has lasted for over two years in state high school athletics seemed assured of an amicable termin- issued by Homer l.. Thomas. director of athletics of Birmingham public schools. The much discussed question of the city schools entrance into the Alabama High School. Athletic associa- ton came to a head during the week, and announcement was definitely made Thursday night that Phillips and woodlawn High schools would enter the association.
 Plans were going forward Thursday and will probably be completed during Friday and Saturday for the partici- patton of the two teams in the Jeffer- son County High School Baseball league, which is under the supervision of the State High School association. Ensley has already entered the state association and are in the southern division of the league.
 According to a statement by Presi- dent W. J. Baird of the state associa- tion Thursday night, the decision of the two local city schools to enter the state association was reached after It was winded that the rules committee had drafted a migratory rule which It proposed to submit for consideration of members at the annual meeting in Montgomery on April 4. With the as- surance that this rule and a 2l-year rule would be brought up at the com ing annual meeting, Coach Thomas as- sured President Baird that the two To- cal schools would enter the association and that within the next two or three days President Baird would receive ap- plications from Principal Going of Phillips and Principal Brandman of WnnAla Un fnr entrance In the n- time, Coach Thomas requested that plans be carried out for the schools participation in the county league and places left in the schedule for their games.
 Committee On Plans
 A committee was appointed to make plans for the entrance of the teams. This will probably necessitate 2 third division of the county league. At pres ent there are two divisions. a northern and southern section. A proposed change has been drawn up which will divide the northern division into two sections. At present there are eight teams in each division. The split would require the entrance of Fairfield and These two teams are at present in the southern division. If the officials of these two schools are willing to enter their teams in the northern division, 1t will give the northern division 12 teams, and a split with two six-club circuits can be effected.
 Luncheon Saturday
 A Dutch luncheon will be held Sat- urday afternoon at i o'clock at the lunch room in the basement of the Title Guarantee building, at which the proposed changes will be brought up and discussed. All representatives of teams concerned are expected to be at the meeting, and final plans will be drafted if possible. The opening games of the league will be staged next Tues

Auburn Nine Wins Second
 Ohio Game
Market Pitches Good Ball And Turns Opponents
 Down On 2 Hits

AUBURN. Ala, March 20.-(SpeciaO The Auburn Tigers made the Ohio State baseball series a fifty-fifty affair here today, when they copped the sec ond and last game by score of ? to l. A cold wave had hit the Tiger strong hold. and mackinaws, overcoats and other miscellaneous wearing apparel were in order as the spectators stood by to witness the progress of the sum- mer pastime.
 Auburn's fireworks began In the first inning. Stewart went to first on balls, passing to second on Aliens sacrifice. He proceeded to third on fielder's choice and scored on Griffin's single. In the second inning, Alex Ansley, Montgomery lad, hit a home run on a long drive through center field.
 ohio's counter came in the fifth frame when, after two Buckeye bat ters had famed the ozone, and Bras hear, Ohio catcher. had walked, Argo, for Auburn, dropped high fly in the right garden, allowing Brashear to ad vance. He scored on Klee's infield safety. At this stage of the game. Ansley again came to the rescue. With ali bases inhabited by visiting batters, the lanky center fielder pulled a phe. nomenal catch in deep center that re- tired the enemy batting outfit. The game was called at the end of the first half of the seventh by agreement.
 Market In Good Form
 Joe Market, sophomore from La Grange, Ga, made his debut into var sity ranks today. Market was assigned to mound duty and gave a good &C., count of himself throughout the con- test. He allowed one two-bagger and a scratch infield safe bingle. He reg istered nine strikeouts during the seven innings. Dobric, pitching for the Buckeyes, handled the mound work in good shape. He allowed only three hits and made five strikeouts. Davis played B splendid game behind the plate, handling Il chances perfectly. Ansley's home run and sensational catch at the right time stands out as the feature performance. of the day.
 The Auburn athletic authorities have received confirmation from the off cials of Howard college of a series be- tween the Auburn Tigers and the How ard Bulldogs on the Auburn campus Monday and Tuesday, March 24 and 25.

STATE CAPITAL BUREAU

STATE CAPITAL BUREAU
 MONTGOMERY, Ala, March 2o.-- Near freezing temperature and stage fright, coupled with the terrific on slaught of Connie Mack's heavy hit ters, proved too much for Coach Cnar- lie Browns Panther nine at Cramton Bowl Thursday afternoon. the Athletics romping away to a 26 to victory in six innings of clown baseball. Eddie Rommell, one of Mack's twirling aces, who called them from the slab, dressed in heavy mackinaw to stave off the cold wind, called the spree after six stanzas in deference to the Birming- ham, Southern twirlers and the frigid atmosphere.
 Adams fared badly from the start, walking three Mackmen and growing for Hauser.- who promptly sent it to deep left for three bags. Ricorda and Strand crossed the pan on the blow. Two more runs were chalked up whom Harris, elongated Mack slab artist, got his first hit of the 1924 season, sending Hauser, Simmons and Miller home. Mack's entire batting list faced Adams this round, Bishop sending high one to A. Miller for his second out to close the inning. N -.-,,=sFiye Tn First
 The Macks got five runs in the first, four in the second, eleven in the third ana SIX Tn Inc tourtnp anu CoIecteu total Of 2 safe hits.
 Joe Hauser had a perfect day with the willow, spanking out home run, two triples and a double, in addition to free pass in his five trips to the plate. sSHauser tallied five times and drove in fully a half dozen othefs on lis slong distance clouts. Miller also had a perfect day, with two, singles, double and two free passes in his five times at bat
 Charlie Gihson, former backstop at Auburn and recently annexed by Con- nie. Mack, disported himself creditably both behind the bat and with his stick, rapping out two hot singles and getting sacrifice hits on two other aerial clouts.
 Norton Gets Three .,&.r Morton, playing center field for the Southerners, slapped two singles and a double to Mack outfielders in his three trips to ths'pan, thus annexing three of Southerns five safe blows. O'Brien's trip, in the Fourth drove in Norton and Williams. sEnglebert's single scored oBrien for the third Panther tally.
 Harris and Meeker did the twirling for the Mackmen, Meeker replacing the tall speed artist at the close of the third. t.,.
 Adams was relieved by Hamilton in the fourth, having better luck with the Athletics thansthe starter. A high wind and the cold atmosphere made 1t diffi- cult for the twirlers, many free passes being issued.

How should a drive be made when the ball is to 20 against the wind?
 Answered by
 JOHN BLACK
 The Carpenter of Troon, whose great samensss and mastery of golf make him feared at all toqrna- rents Particularly competent approach shots When driving into a wind, the weight should be kept forward on the left foot on the back swing. When hitting the ball, the body should go forward with the club, making the club head follow through very low along the ground so as to keep the ball down. There should not be much effort in hitting the ball It should be hit easily so that the wind will have less resistance on the ball. If the ball is hit hard 1t will travel faster and have more resistance and the wind will raise the ball higher and distance will be lost. The wrists should be kept very firm when hit ting the ball in such a case.

Is there any guy on deck having
name without a speck, having fame

just as much of worth on this good
old priceless earth as there was be-
fore the birth OF this present oily
reign. There are, statesmen just as
white as the world has ever known,
public conscience shines as bright as
the blamed thing ever Shone; right

blindness strive to acquire the easy
bone. If robber plies a gun for
