ALABAMA FIVE
 DEFEATSL. 5. U.

UNIVERSITY. Ala, Feb. 12-(Spe- cial.)-Foure points in each half of the; game were all that the l.. g. U. Tigers could score in their game against Ala bama here tonight, and as a result they were defeated by the Crimsons by 8 score of 44-S.
 L. S. U. failed to- show. very much on the court, while Alabama was hold ing rather high in their goal shooting. The regulars stayed in the game about two-thirds of the game. but the game ended with practically the entire fresh- men in the game. Again noticeable tonight was the foul shooting of the, Crimson. In the first half they dropped in 10 out of 15 shots and had very few in the second half. Due to the limited number of Tiger players, and the fact that 3stWoY had been >banished for four 'peSsOnais a6pls.l Referee Owens did not call theMsYefy close in the latter half.
 L. s. D. used long shooting as her mode of attack. but the Tigers did not know the exact location of the basket from where the oval would land., They landed everywhere. The four field goals they did make were of the long variety and were pretty shots. Alabama scored "A points in the first half, with three substitutions being in the second half. They scored 20 points. They played a nifty brand of ball. and kept plugging away, The next game Is against Georgia Tech here, Friday night. E: x. -{.t. :s.x | LI

C.A.Corniskey| Tells of Big.
 1919 Scandal
White Sox Owner Gives De
 tails Of Throwing Of Series

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Feb. F. = Charles A. Comiekey, owner of the Chicago club of the American league, took the. stand shortly after noon today in' defense of his club against the $16,- 800 salary and bonus claim of Joe Jackson, his former outfielder. His voice shook in deep emotion as he re- lated the story of the tense moment at the White Sox baseball park in Sep tember, 1920, when Eddie Cicotte, one of his pitchers, confessed his part in the world series scandal of 1919.
 How Cicotte was selected as the man most likely to tell of what had hap pened to the series of that year, after a,confcrence of attorneys and officers of the club at the ball park shortly be- fore the appearance of Cicotte, Mir, Conniskey related in detail on the stand. He testified that after the selection, Cicotte came. asked to see the witness alone and then told him the story of the world series; how he had received named seven other players as impli-. cated jointly with him. s-
 "PitffuP' Confession "
 MT. .Comiskey described Cicotte's al-l legged confession as "pitiful."f He testi-. fled. Cicotte spoke. of the. disgface to himself, his family and how he dreaded to so back home to face his family and LEictluBs SlCOtLGy luS WituCSS Sdius ulu not want to so back to face the players and left the park without collecting the balance of his salary due.
 One by one, the witness continued, players named were sent a notice of release, told to get their salary and leave the place. Then the witnss left the park, he said, having heard enough" The witness explained why 1t was that attempts were made to sign up suspected players for another sea- son after rumors of a crooked" world series were current immediately after the close of the 1919 series. He said a rule of the league required clubs to line up their team personnel before February 1 following the close of sea son in order to protect club rights. During the late fall and winter of 1919, he said, the matter of thrown world series had only reached the stage of rumors, on which the club had been unable to obtain definite information as to the facts. A detective, one Hunter the witness added, had made investi- gation for the club without finding proof of the throwing of the series.

 On the advice of his attorney, MT. Comiskey then went ahead with the signingup of suspected players, he tes- tifieds -..,
 Oscar Felsch, one of the Chicago club players in the world series of 1919, went on the stand late today, following MT. Comiskey.

Blues Beat
 Trinity By
 Score 35-32
North Carolina Team Gives Locals Tough Scrap
 In Game Here

Though the Blue Devils from Trinity college of Durham, N. C., had an of- fense that took considerable time to get moving, the team gave the B. A. c. Blues a tough battle Tuesday night, but lost, 35 to 32. The Blues got a lead of eight points before Ahe Trinity five could count, but the visitors started moving fastly after the first goal. and tied the Blues at 12 points. The Blues forged ahead a couple of points, but were overtaken again. Although the score was always close, the Trinity team was never able to take the lead.
 It was largely due to the long dis tance shooting of Crute that the Trinity five was able to trail the Blues so closely. The Blue Devil guard rang up seven field goals, several of them from the center of the court. His shoot ing was the sensation of the game.
 For the Blues, Ollie Hilburn did equally as well. He looped seven bas. kets, but a good many of his were close ones, while one was q beautiful basket from near center and another a diff cult shot from side court. Hilhurn also played a good floor game.
 Hahn Good On Floor
 Captain Hub Hahn, shifted to for ward. played a good floor game and shot nine points. Hahn has been hay ing trouble with a bad ankle and has not been able to play his regular posi-

The Mignon Mills baskeeters who have been in Birmingham since yester- day and who lost their game to the Central Y. M. c. A. last night, won their game from the Stockham team tonight by the narrow margin of two points. the score being 21 to 19.
 Hill was the star for the visitors and played good game both defensively and extensively. Looney. although a forward berth did a great deal of de- fensive playing and was in the thick of the fray the greater part of the time.
 Simpson was the next highest man to Hill in points for the Mignon team. The Stockham team was lead in SCOT Ing by HarreIl, whose total number of, points was 10, and in guarding by Chris kontos. Kontos was very good at get ting the ball out of hls own danger zone al . had great deal to do with keep ins down the visitors score.

Coed Teams Play Here
 On Friday
Birmingham-Southern Pan- therettes Play Auburn
 Girls At B. A. C.

Coach Ben Englebert's Birmingham Southern Pantherettes, bent on revenge, are on the traA of the Auburn Tiger cites this week and are training with Sunshine Slopes in pfsparation for the game Friday night at o'clock at the Birmingham Athletic club.
 The Pantherettes on a recent visit to the Plains were taken in tow by the Tigerettes by the meager margin of the appearance of the co-eds of the Plains here this week the Sunshine Slopes girls hope to even the count.
 The game which was won by the Au- burn girls earlier in the year ended 10 to 9 on the strength of a last-minute favor the Tigerettes. That the local girls are training in earnest this week could readily be seen Tuesday after noon as they went through their daily drill. Coach Englebert gave them plen- ty of basket shooting and they appar- ently had their eyes geared to the bas- ket, for they were looping them from all angles.
 Brown Star
 The biggest threat of the Tigerettes machine that the Pantherettes will have to contend with here this week prob ably is Captain "Cutie"~ Brown. She is a sure-shooting forward and good
 
 Young also are big factors in the Au burn offensive and will have to be watched closely.
 However, on watching the opponents offense and breaking up their attack the Pantherettes boast of two profi- cient players. Elizabeth Green and Lucille Williams are rated as defensive players of much ability and have dis played their aptness at holding down the positions of guard for a season, and now nearly two. These two young ladies will be depended upon to hold down the shooting of Captain Brown and Tamplin.
 Although the Pantherettes lost an of fensive star in Captain Mary Brins- kelle, who left school at mid-term, they will have two good forwards on the floor Friday, night. Julia Manar. and Corda Stansbury are two sure-fire bas- ket throwers that guards have found 1t profitable to watch closely while in the game. Manar was the big factor in the Pantherettes' play against Jackson vile in the last game.
 At center, Lucille Cannon will fill the bill, with the switching of Julia Manar to forward to fill the place left by Cap tain Brinskelle. Several of the reserves may get into the game Friday night, among whom are Ford, Cousins, Clark and one or two more.

TEX RICHARD DEFENDS JESS IN DEMPSEY BOUT Promoter Says Willard Did Not Quit To Jack While Letter From Ex-Champion Shows He Was Anxious For

That Dempsey is some fighter; don't let anybody kid you. He sunk his fist three inches, into my belly. It burned into my stomach. And still there are some who say I quit.
 Well, there is one thing and only one I wanted very badly, and that was to get another crack at Jack. But even that is gone. I'd know better the next time. He couldn't work that hurry up gag on me again. All wanted to do was hand him some of the same stuff he handed me. feel confident I could do that, because I feel that now I'm stronger and much bigger. I feel that if ever we meet again I would knock that guys block off or he'd knock mine off. and that before he did that he would take & lot out of the ring with him that he have something to remember me by and know howl felt after that Toledo affair"

 He Did His Best, Says Tex
 And then to make matters worse for the unhappy Jess, there were ssome who claimed that he even quit to Fir pof Knowing the man as I do. though, do not believe it. I think he did the very best he could.
