COLLINS MAKES
 MYSTERY TRIP

CHICAGO, Feb. 19.-Deep mystery 'atA tended a supposed visit of Captain Eddie Collins of the White Sox in Chi cago Tuesday.
 Collins, or someone who was his dou- ble, talked to sport writers. Later. Harry Grabiner, secretary of the White Sox, waXed indignant when asked about Collins appearance in Chicago and de- nied that the premier second-sacker of the American league was within 1000 miles of the city. There Is no reason why Collins should come here" Grabi- ner declared. Besides, if he is here, we don't know anything about it."
 Well. would you know if he were here?" Grabiner was asked.
 How should I know" he retorted.
 From sources close to President Comiskey. it was learned that Collins, if he visited in Chicago at all, might have come either in reference to rumors of his impending trade to the New York Yankees or for a conference with his boss about subbing for Frank Chance as manager.

The 1924 Birmingham Bench Show, to be held at 1T19 Second avenue, Feb ruary 20 and 21, bids fair to be the greatest show that has yet been held in the south. The entrants from out of town have been coming in since Satur- day and are causing much comment by the class of dogs that are among them
 Southfield Chief, a splendid collie puppy of eight months, reached Bir- mingham Monday morning fresh from his victories in the Westminster Show where 1900 dogs were benched. His victories in Westminster, the greatest show in America, mark him as an ex- ceptionally fine specimen of his breed and he will be we'll worth the attention Is sable and white collie of unusual type and is bound to make a favorable impression on the judge.
 Southfield Chief is owned by Thom- as K. O'Malley of Chicago.
 Nikodemus won Wensabrock, the big Doberman Pinscher, owned by H. F. Precht of Savannah, Ga., rolled into the Magic City Monday. This will be an exhibit of exceptionally great inter- est, as Nicodemus Is a striking speci- men of the breed that is said to pos sess to greater degree than any other member of the canine family the intel iigence of a human being. In addition to the remarkable character of this breed is added the fact that there are only two or three of this breed in the south and that many dog lovers, even here in the Magic City, have never seen . Doberman Pinscher, which makes the appearance of Nikodemus von Wensabrock an event of great moment to those who attend the Birmingham Bench Show.
 The entrants from the Melampus ken nels of Fort Worth, Tex, are expected to arrive here during the day Tuesday. a string of the finest police dogs in the southwest.

Alabama To Play A. A. C.
 On Friday
Last Game of Season Before Conference Tourney On
 This Week.

UNIVERSITY. Ala, Feb. 19.-(Spe- cial)-The last cage game to be played before they enter the Southern Confer ence tournament in Atlanta will be played here Friday night by Alabama's s cagesters against the Atlanta Athletic club quintet.
 After that, the 1924 cage season will be merely what the Crimsons make 1t in Atlanta. The Crimsons left the Cap stone Tuesday morning for Starksville, Miss, to play the Aggies Tuesday night. Earlier in the season the Aggies visited Alabama and were victorious in a fast game by 4 points. Captain Carter was out that fray for "Bama," and the Crimsons left here expecting to even scores with the Aggies. Nine men made the trip, as follows: Captain Carter. Cohen, McC1intock, McGauly, Stabler, Salmon, Propst, Anderson, Hudson.
 The game here Friday night should be thriller, even though the Atlanta quint was swamped terribly last Satur- day by Georgia. The Atlantans defeated ago, and they had given the same med icine to Georgia. But in Athens it was different story to write about, and that's the way the Capstone regard the game Friday night.
 Wins Three Victories
 Alabama's three victories last week against l.. s. U., Trinity and Georgia Tech gave the cage bugs much to talk about. Alabama showed worlds of stuff and should go big guns in the tourna- ment. However, the result of the Tues day and Friday night games will mean lot to the Crimsons. As it is, dope should have Alabama rated among the six best teams in the south.
 A. and M. will be back strong with determination to repeat, if possible Georgia has run wild against her oppo- nents and will bear considerable watch ing. Tulane has defeated a great many and must have something.
 North Carolina, from reports, intends making strong bid for the champion ship again.
 Strong Teams
 Exact dope on other teams has not reached the Capstone, but Vanderbilt Florida and Washington and Lee rate among the best. And Alabama has just about as good a chance as any of them, As some freshman said the other day, the team that gets right the quickest at Atlanta is going to cop the most games And that's what Capstoners want Ala bama's team to do-get right in Atlanta
 The game Friday night against A. A. C. should see another great gather ing Of cage fans into the gym. When Tech was here, enough seats could moi be found. And the game this Friday, while not carrying all the rivalry of TWO great schools, should prove as nerVe-racking game as the other one was. "Bama" wants to break even and A. A. c. wants to keep her percentage on the 1000 mark so one can see if will be worth watching.

BAN ON CHAMPS \.
 COMES TO END

NEW. YORK, Feb. 1s.--Two worlds boxing champions-Mickey Walker of Elizabeth, N. d., welterweight title holder, and Joe Lynch of New York, bantamweight king-were restored to good standing and title recognition in this state today under decision of the state athletic commission lifting all suspensions made prior to February, last year.
 The commissions blanket action also removes suspensions imposed upon managers, seconds rnatchmakers and other for various reasons. It leaves in force only the suspensions made last week, when the commission disciplined those involved in the championship fiasco of the Georgia Marks-Pancho Villa fight at Madison Square Garden.
 Walker and Lynch, however, will be ordered to appear before the commission at its next meeting, February 26, and it was understood Lynch would retain good standing only on condition that he accepted a match with Abe Gold stein of New York, who has laid claim to the bantamwefght title. Ts&
