A. A. u. TITLE GAMES

The Amateur Athletic Unions ma
tiona junior and senior outdoor
track and field championships and re-
lay title races will be held in Cali
fornia next Summer, If precedent is
followed and the custom of awarding
this athletic carnival to different sec
tions of the country each succeeding
year is observed. Athletic authorities
of both San Francisco and Los
Angeles are reported desirous of OBJ
tanning sanction to hold the games.
The meet will be held in Pasadena,
If it is awarded to Los Angeles,
while If San Francisco is successful
in obtaining the title games. they
will be held in the Golden Gate city.
A national track and field cham
pionship meet has not been held in
California since 1921, when the title
games were conducted at Pasadena
The last meet in San Francisco was
held back in 1915. Father Knicker-
booker played host to the countrys
athletic stars in 1922 and in 1928 the
title games were held in Chicago
Last Summer the meet was held in
the New York district, when the
Newark A. c. conducted the games at
West Orange on the occasion of the
dedication Of Colgate Field.
The award of these games, distribu-
tion Of other championship fixtures,
election of officers, odoption of amend
ments to rules and regulations for
competitive sport under its jursdic-
ton, and approval or rejection of rec
ords made or claimed during the past
fiscal year, will be the chief business
at the annual Amateur Athletic Union
convention to be held in Atlantic City

With respect to other championship

HIGH TENNIS RATING

PARIS, October 1s.-For the first
time in the history Of lawn tennis
France expects to be able to boast
during the coming season of player
ranked among the first Ave in the
world.
Rene La Coste lis not only the
unanimous choice of the sporting
writer's for the position of ranking
No. 1 player of France for the year
1924, but the scrbes all agree that
he should come Immediately after
William Tflden, Vincent Richards and
William Johnston Of America and j.
o. Anderson of Australia in the world
tennis ranking.
The French Tennis Federation will
announce it's rankings about Novem-
ber I and is expected to place La
Coste first. Jean Borotra second and
Henri Cochet third. This will break
the triple tie which has existed in
France during the present year, Bo-
rotra, Cochet and La Coste having
been placed even in the 1928 ranking
as No. l players.

run-up to the pin-really very fine
work. Ny second was again to his

When came up to my ball I found
a very difficult shot facing me. 1t
was necessary to play along a well
defined ridge which skirted the left
side of the green. One side sloped
into tho green, the other ran down
into the deep pit at the left My
problem was to hold my ball on this
ridge until 1t reached the highest
point of elevation above the green
slope toward the pin. And when Mur-
ray ran his third to within six feet Of
the cup the play became critically
important
To place myself on an even foot
ing with Murray required a stroke Of
exact firmness. 1t could not be too
strong or too weak. Also the ball
must be perfectly placed.
I looked the ground over very care
fully and picked the line for q run
up shot. But after I took my stance
decided to take extra precautions
and play a foot to the right of the
line 1 had first selected. 1t was we'll

maslie iron, with the toe turned out.

point hole high. Then the ball faded
down the slope to a point six feet
from the cup. I sank my putt for a
birdie four. Murray missed his for a
five. Our match was over, up and

That certainly was the best play
ever made in q pinch.

Faces Big ResponSib1ity.
Jack Neville brought me this news
as we came to the seventeenth tee,
and. believe me, although I was
up at the time, 1t was somewhat Of a
shock to learn that such q respon-
sibility was mine. Our gallery grow
to tremendous proportions, too, fully
10000 people ranging themselves along
the fairway. This increased the tense
ness of the situation.
The seventeenth at st. Andrews is
470 yards long. 1t Is one Of the most
difficult holes in the world.
To begin with, on your tee shot. II
you want to play straight to the flag.
you must hit your ball over some big
sheds that poke into the course from
the right. Failure to carry means lots
of trouble. and the safer course is to
play to the left Of the sheds.
1t is practically impossible, unless
you are an exceptionally long driver
to make the green in two. 1t Is set
rather obliquely into the fairway and
the side near to you Is guarded by
formidable bunker dipping into 2
deep pit To play directly to the green
means that you must shoot right over
this pit II you get into 1t. look out
But even a second shot that would
carry over the pit and the bunker
would be valueless in most cases. Tho
green is very narrow and slopes
downward beyond to road, which
makes the nastiest sort Of . hazard.
To hold a long ball on IL 10 impos-
sible 80 times out Of 100.
The best way to play the second
shot, therefore, IL to shoot to the
right, along the fairway. II you get
the right distance and direction your
ball will end up at the entrance to
the green. which, because Of tts OBJ
lique position, II 1t tho left

The old, orthodox rule concerning
the use OF passes was, never to pass
until within the opponents 40-yard
line. This is still good general
rule if the quarterback is brainy
enough to know when to make an
exception. A pass is a good play
whenever the quarterback thinks he
can put some element of surprise
into its execution or when the pass
has better than an even chance for
success. If the ends and backs of
defensive team are drawn in CLOSELY
by a repeated series of bucks, then
is the time for pass to be executed.

COMPLETE HOME FOR JEFFERSON
 ABOUT APRIL 1
New Ten-StOry Structure Of Loan Association
 Being Pushed

The new home of the JeffersC44 Coun- ty Building and Loan association on the northeast corner of Third alley and Twenty-first street will likely be the first of Birmingham's new series of sllyscrapers to be completed. Leases for space in the building are being dated April 1, and although the entire ten stories may not be ready by this time it is thought that only the finishing touches will remain.
 Exterior of the structure will be an attractive combination of polished granite, glazed terra cotta, and red tapestry brick. Granite will be used at the base, terra cOtta trimming on both the upper and lower stories, while intermediate floors are to be finished Tn brick. This brick, high-grade of construction material, will extend on all sides of the building. Other fea' lures of. the structure are a full base ment and utilization of steel window frames throughout.
 Although the building is modelled pri' marily as a home for the association it offers, also, space for 115 independ ent offices on the nine upper floors Arrangement here is largely flexible since all offices are connected, making possible the leasing of an entire floor to a single corporation. Two high speed elevators off the entrance to the north of the buildings front will feed these offices.
 Interior of the quarters of the asso- citation will be finished ill marble. Ground floor will afford space for the office of the president, Col. F. M. Jackson, tellers, clerical force and Jack son, Securities company. On the meg zanine floor, a directors room is To- cated, a locker room for employees, an innovation of which are shower bath fittings. Indirect lighting system will be installed on these floors.
 William Leslie WeltOn, architect who was associated in the design of the American Trust and Empire build ings among his other large structures drew plans for the building Construc. ton is in charge of Julian Herndon.

CEMENT. MAKERS
 AWAIT TARIFF
Local Manufacturers Un- able To Meet Foreign
 Competition

Cement producers of the Birmingham district who now manufacture 6,OOO,- 900 barrels of cement annually and the bulk of the material used in the south eastern states, are awaiting with con siderable interest the fate of move to apply an import duty on cement.
 Matters have been taken before Me Kenzie Moss, assistant secretary of treasury, and former resident of Birmingham, and the tariff commission, in the hope that such a tax will be set.
 According to estimates by S. c. AIc- Curdy, sales manager for the Phoenix Portland Cement company here, there has been almost 100000 barrels of cement shipped into the southastern territory through southern ports during the past year. This figure is in com parison with S,400,000 barrels shipped by producers in this territory.
 "Producers in this ccSntry find it almost impossible to meet the prices on imported cement" Mir. NcCurdy de clared Foreign nations, including mark, have all the advantages of cheap labor and the rates of exchange"
 At the present time cement p1nts in the district are running almost al capacity and demand holds uniformly good. The effect of foreign eompeti- ton, Mir. McCurGR says, has been to introduce products of the local facto ries into the states further north, which would ordinarily be considered shipping points for other territory.
