 The State Normaiites will come to Birminshap Saturday with blood in their eyes.s It has not been 50 long sincs the Teachers and Bulldogs lined up against each other on an Annis- ton football gridiron. In that game, fully expected to beat the Bulldogs. and, when sound 27-0 1drubbing had been doled out to them, the Teachers carried . deep-rooted grude off the field with them.
 | So State Normal is laying" for How ard. In game with the Bulldog COG eds, played last week, the Teachers craving for revenge is only partially satisfied. IF
 Coach Yarbroush's Bulldogs arc in excellent shape now, and will have their say-so when all this grudge argu- n1ent comes up. Since their splendid showing against the B. A. c. Blues Tuesday night, the Bulldogs have been more enthusiastically. aud the rough places have been srnoothed over con siderably since the B. A. c. game.
 One change has been made in the lineup since the B. A. c. game, and that b the advancement of Emery .Lowery to . starting position. Lowery has been showing up exceptionally we'll in practices, and played nice game akaintt the Ciubbers. Consa- quently,.

Cubs After Pennant

CHICAGO, Jan. 25.--Visions of a pennant are entertained by President William L. veeck of the Cubs, follow ing his return from California's sun shine and chronic optimism.
 Veeck arrived in Chicago Friday and shortly afterwards was in conference with Manager Killifer and Grover Cleveland Alexander.
 They agreed unanimously that the Cubs have the pennant all but tucked away.
 But 1t developed at the conference that KiIlifer believes he needs Charles Hollocher, the baking shortstop, to en- sure annexing the flag. Veeck said he has made final offer to Hollocher and that 1t was up to the midget to sign the contract now in his possession after he is reinstated by Commissioner Landts.
 Otherwise, Veeck hinted, Hollocher may find himself outside of organized baseball next season.

good shape, however, and from then on gave good account of himself. Ap- parently needless of Reds" tabs to the face, Dillon seemed willing to trade same tactics, mixed things with the youngster. The bout could have been called little else but a draw, for every blow that was hit seemed to have called for return wallop.
 Dillon Goes Strong A
 Throughout the middle frames of the bout Dillon gave Herring some stiff walloping. > In the last three rounds Herring ca4Ae back, but even then Dill lon stood up to his attack to the last.
 In the third round Herring drove Dillon into the ropes several times and brought blood from his nose. However, the visiting battler landed three or four boy. In the fourth Dillon opened up with his steamy blows and things changed complexion. In the fifth things looked strongly Dillon. and the Cincinnati youngster caught "Redp once as he rushed and by sidestepping and walloping simultaneously plunged him through the ropes.
 The last two rounds were fast and featured by slugging.
 On the preliminary bill, Homer Smiles and Tom Lacey staged hectic eight-round wrestling bout that went as gain fall. Kid Ray was too much for Young Battler and the latter with drew in the second round of a three round bout. Kid Smith and Tony Mo- reno battled to a draw in a fast feur- rounder Kid F1ukker and Young Me- Intosh also were considered at par after a four-round bout.
 Red Wilson and Bogie ~Saab finished up the evening of draw cards in a six round fracas. Both battlers did some heavy slugging, but neither was able to get ah edge on the other.

PAL MORAN MAY
 BE NEXT CHAMP
Johnny Dundee Is Taking Big Chance In Battle With New
 Orleans Boy

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-Johnny Dun dee, the human mango tree, who grows from the featherweight to the welter- weight class before your very eyes, the second time in his long career when he submits his chin to Pal Moran of New Orleans in the garden next week.
 Dundee was so sluggish in his last fight here, the one with Jack Bernstein, and it seemed to require such an effort to fling his knckles, that some of his old original customers believe he has begun to slide at last.
 Dundee is now in his fifteenth year as prize fighter. having begun as a was only Is years old. It is only a few months since he made, the greatest fight of his entire campaign, the one against Eugene Criqui. But on that night. Dun- dee seemed to be inspired, for his work against the little Frenchman was far half a dozen fights preceding the cham pionship match.
 Dundee had waited 10 years for a chance at the championship. It an bane, when he finally did consent to let someone knock him out, chose Criqui and ignored the much stronger claims in the record of Johnny Dundee.
 However, since he won the feather weight title. Dundee has taken no care and given a bad beating by Kid Wag- ner of Philadelphia. Bernstein, one of the worst fighters fin tho lightweight class, held him almost even.
 An Dundee has scored only one knocked him cold, and also stopped ter, in his last 70-odd fights. he does not appear to have much chance of stopping Moran. Pal, on the other hand, hit Charlie White on the chin and knocked him cold, and also sotpped Johnny Shugrue in recent months. Dundee has taken to wearing spectacles and his eyes are said to be falling as the result of constant hammering on the nerves of the temples. He fought Moran to . 15-round draw in 1920.
 As the boys are to fight at 130 pounds Dundee's featherweight title will not be involved.

Simpson Is Beaten

MONTGOMERY, Ala. Jan. 25.-- Special. )--Sidney Lanier High school of Montgomery outplayed Simpson High of Birmingham here tonight and defeated the 1923 champions by the score of 25 to 12. Long distance shoot ing, coupled with c powerful defense, accounted for the first defeat of the season for "Dick" Webb's scintillating cagesters.
 For some reason, the visitors were off color tonight. They missed many shots which should have been made. Their wonderful defense was not functioning up to the standard, either fully half of Lanier's goals, however, were nego- tiated from mid floor or thereabouts.
 Wilson and Kaminisky led in SCOT ing for the Poets. Vincent played a good game for the Panthers. Simpson held their own In the first half, the period ending Ii to 10 for Lanier. But in the last half the Poets had too much basketball stuff on the floor. Simpson only made four field goals during the entire game.

Dust Blows Into =
Waterville's Eyes

When Waterville Main street was
paved with cobble stones there was
dust between the stones that blew
about in the fall after the sprinkler
had been put up for the winter. Cit
liens took 1t for granted that the
only remedy would be a hard surface
street.
Now the city has a fine cement
street but still the dust blows around.
The reason for this seems to lie
around the edge of the curbing where
filth and clutter are very d barently
accommodating at the present time.
A great deal of this is due to the
carelessness of the citizens them
selves. Storekeepers in many in
stances put out their supply Of rub
bish which includes sweepings and
dust from the stores without using
proper containers. There are but
few rubbish cans with covers: In
stead, one sees heavy cardboard box
es overstuffed with paper and rub
bish. A passerby hits one of the
boxes and 1t tips over in the street
and the damage Is done. Or perhaps
a strong wind sweeps down the street
from the North and the papers are
scattered about in this manner.
Another method Of adding to the
litter on the street that perhaps is
not any more prevalent than In other
towns and cities Is the scattering
about Of posters and handbills. Small
boys tour the street carrying pack
ages Of bills and tossing them into
every car.
During the past few days the wind
has blown a gale and 1t has empha-
sized the fact that papers will blow
around If they are left out doors.
