ROB OFFICE OF
GOLD WORTH $500
Thieves Get Big Haul of
Gold Coins in Office of
DIR. Tennessen.
LEAVE TWO NEW SUITS

Thieves who knew what they were
after and got it, invaded the Office of
DIR. A. H. Tennessen at 159 Main street,
sometime. between ten and six o'clock
on Sunday and went off with close to
$500 worth of gold coins which the
dentist had stored in little box in
his safe at the Office.
Entrance was made through the tran
som above the door leading to the of
fee after two of the three locks on
the door had been broken without
opening it. The third lock was the
lock which would have given the UNI
known burglars much more comfort
able access to the office, but evidently
they feared detection, and took no
chances with further delay. No clue
was left that might help the police in
tracing the thieves. 1t is believed
that they were professional Office
thieves who specialized in dentists
Offices. This fact was further emp
hasized when it was learned that moth
ing else in the Office was touched ex-
cept the safe in which the money was
kept. Two new suits of clothes be-
longing to DR.. Tennessen, were in plain
sight from the door but these were
left untouched. Several hundred dol
lars worth of dental apparatus and
instruments were likewise untouched.
Discovered at Six O'Clock.
DR.. Tennessen has been in the
habit of coming down to his Office
two and three times on Sundays for
special appointments with his patients,
and on Sunday he left the Office at ten
O'Clock in the morning, returning again
shortly after six o'clock in the after
noon. 1t was at this time that he dis
covered the entrance had been forced
into his Office. The locks in the door
had been forced, and the transom
opened. The combination dial on the
safe had been worked for some time.
it appeared, before it was opened.
None of the papers in the safe was
moved.
AS soon as the police were called it
was learned that the job without a
doubt had been done by professional
thieves. Detective Frank McClusky
was assigned to the case. It was re-
called that several months ago a trio
of robbers had been invading similar
offices in Chicago and all along the
north shore looking for gold in any
form. The fact that they would take
nothing else from the Office of DR..
Tennessen showed that they were we'll

Teams Meet Tonight In
 Title Series
Finals Will Be Played Friday Between Winners Of
 This Evening

Champion teams will start their championship series Wednesday night at 8 o'clock at the Central Y. M. C. A. gymnasium, with the basketball tttle of Birmingham at stake. Woodlawn High, the team which walked through the Birmingham Basketball association league, will challenge the metal of the Y NJ. C. A. Redbirds. city loop title holders while the Owenton Epworth league five, champions of the city Ep- worth League union, will clash with Handley Memorial, winners of the Sunday School league crown.
 Final Game Will Be Played Friday
 All teams have been putting in full time, and overtime, at practice this week. The Junior Colonels, Woodlawn Highs entrants, have been working out daily on the floor of the Y. M. c. A. Coach Hood sees the need of familiar izing his team with the court and Is consequently staging his workouts there. In this respect, the "Y" Red birds will have an advantage over the Colonels. The "Y' team, of course, has been practicing on the court there all season and are thoroughly familiar with it. The Junior Colonels have played but little, if any, on the court, and it will be new to them.
 Close Games Expected
 The Owenton team will be handi- capped for the same reason. The Ep- worth league games were staged at the gymnasium of the First Methodist church, while the games of the Sunday School league, in which Handley Memo rial competed, were played at the Y. M. c. A.
 Indications are, however, that all games will be close, as the teams are well matched. What is expected to be the toughest game is the one between the Woodlawn team and the s"Y' five. Both teams have a crack forward each and as 8 whole are good machines. For Woodlawn, Ruble Moore is an accurate shooting youngster, and he was high scorer in the Basketball Association league, with 97 points for the season. Brunson Is the star forward for the Redbirds and is a fast floor man. A large crowd is expected to wit ness the games, as much interest is be- ing shown in the series. This is the first championship series to be played for the Magic City cage crown and should be a fitting climax to a great basketball season for Birmingham.

Tilden And Johnston To
 Be Inactive
American Tennis Aces Will Not Play At Olympic
 Meet

NEW YORK, March 1.-The United States will be without the services of It's two tennis "aces' in the 1924 Olym- pic competition as result of William T. 1Tilden's withdrawal because of a ruling that American Olympic compet- itors cannot write for newspapers or while abroad.
 William M. Johnston, former cham pion, who ranks next to Tilden in the national lists, previously had decided he would be unable to accept an invi- tation to join the Olympic team which the United States Lawn Tennis associa- ton plans to send to France.
 Richards May Cult
 The anti writing regulation may fur ther hit the ranks of tennis team can didates, 1t was pointed out, because fourth national ranking star, also is said to have 1924 contract for news paper work. Richards is now in Florida. .z
 It was understood to be chiefly be- cause of contracts such as Tilden and Richards have that the U. s. L. T. A. fin ruling against player-writers at it's annual meeting in February decided not to enforce the rule until January 1, 1925.
 The tennis champion had never defi- nitely' announced he would go abroad this year if picked for the Olympic team. Two months ago Tilden said he did not think he would go abroad because of the sharp competition ex- pected in the national singles and in the Davis cup matches. He said he re- garded the Davis cup competition more important than the Olympic and that he felt he should husband his strength for those matches in the event he is to be one of the conteatants

FOR
 LIFE INFLICTED

NEW YORK, March 1.-The New York State Athletic commission today was requested by the Louisiana State Boxing commission to suspend Frankie Carbone, New York middleweight, flor the rest of his natural life," following Carbone's failure to fulfill a contract to meet an opponent in New Orleans last week.
 This action was requested after the Louisiana commission had suspended Carbone permanently. The New York board, however, in the absence of more details concerning the offense, refused to concur.
 It was charged that Carbone appear ed in New Orleans, a few days before the scheduled match, trained in a gym nasium near the fight club and gave the promoters every indication that he was to fulfill his contract. He disap- peared on the night of the fight, how ever, and was not located until the next day.

Young Kelly Boxes Burke
 On Monday
Brown Will Be In City F riday For Monday Nights
 Bout

Young Battling Kelly and Red Burke have been signed to furnish the semf- windup for the Birmingham Athletic clubs athletic show, which will take place in the gym next Monday night In completing the arrangements for the Kelly Burke attraction, club officials feel that they have made "ten-strike" and that the general merit of the card will be boosted considerably.
 It will be remembered that Kelly and Burke fought a thrilling six-round draw when Red" Herring and Young Jack Dillon pastimed here, Ever since that memorable battle the fans have been clamoring for a return match. Just as soon as 1t was announced that Billy Brown of Memphis and Johnny McGinty of Birmingham would pastfme in the headliner for next Monday night the club officials got together and voted to give Kelly and Burke a purse that they could not turn down. The re- suit Is that these two worthies will go over a much longer route than has previously been the case, and the club officials feel that something will drop one way or the other Monday night.

In the meantime, the Ensley boy is training daily at the athletic club, and those who have seen him in action assert that he is in the best shape of his career.
 With Young Adolphus and Kid Lott booked to go ten rounds in the flea ture wrestling match of the evening and a number of other thrills on the menu, the club officials assert that they are arranging the best attraction staged here this year, and they are planning to entertain capacity house Monday night. McGinty, having all ready attracted the attention of Billy Gibson, manager of Benny Leonard, the lightweight champion, Is quite a favorite here and has the reputation of attracting crowded houses when ever he shows. Other bouts for the preliminary card will be announced | within the next few days. '

 Prospects might x, With only one day of practice slowed away. of course, little could be cal culated as to prospects. However, as . whole, the outlay of material looks exceedingly promising, and especially the outfield. At any rate, 1t is bunch of hustlers that the local fnags have corralled and a little matter of freez- ing northwest winds that make the fingers ache as bat connects with ball makes no whit the difference with the squad.
 Both candidates for third base will be little late arriving. Pete Brausen is expected in during the latter part of the week, but Frank Kane will probably not report until next week, due to sickness in his family. Inci- dentally. Harold Irelan, who is as- sisting "Stuffy" train the youngsters, speaks highly of Kane as hitter. Bruce Hartford Is another regular exs pected to arrive in camp some time this week.
 One A Day
 The Barons will stick to one practice session days this week; but, with weather permitting, the daily workout will be out into two shifts next week, and some real labor win be extracted from candidates.C With fair weather, or cloudy. cold or warm but dry, dur ing the rest of the week, the squad will be cut somewhat during next week and the less likely looking candidates will be dropped off the list. Tn all, somewhere over 40 candidates are on the training roster.

 "I do not mean that Ruth is not dangerous" the dispatch quotes Sigler as declaring. "He is always danger ous. But if pitched to intelligently his home, run total will not approach his record
 Eddie Cicotte never gave Ruth an in- tentional base on balls, and yet Ruth never hit Cicotte for home run. He hit only one home run off Hubert Pru- cit, and that 0was on a fast ball. That, incidentally. was the only ball, Pruett ever pitched to Ruth."
