Howard Basketball Squad
 Holds First Court Work
Promising Bunch Out For Practice Schedule
 Includes Trip Through Georgia

Varsity basketball at Howard col lege for the 1925 season received a definite start Thursday afternoon, with the holding of the first practice of the season. Coach Toby Stubbs, finishing his fourth year as star athlete with the Bulldogs, issued a hurry call for practice. and a sizeable squad reported for the initial workout at the E. \. C.
 It had been previously announced that the Bulldogs would not start practice until after the holidays, but with the B. A. c. court secured for the after noon workouts, and full week yet re- .naining before the Christmas recess, Coach Stubbs decided to get in as much early work as possible.
 Only Two Missing
 Only two letter men were missing from the list of candidates reporting for the first workout Thursday after noon, namely, Polly Scokcl and Raburn Wear. There are five veterans returning 10 the team this year, and Coach Stubbs, Spike Wells and Hank Knight were on hand for the initial practice by Polly Scokel during the coming sea son, and both he and Wear are expected to be on hand for the next work-put.
 Quite promising array of new material was on hand Thursday. From the reserves of 1924-which included the freshman, ineligible for varsity com petition last season-have come Spcir, Douglas, Rains, Lowery, Hugenschmidt end Olin Smith, All are experienced cagesters, and will probably make the competition hot for letter men this season.
 New Corners Present
 Some newcomers were also present Thursday, including Rogers, Newficld. Winfield. Hyde and Shepherd, the lat ter two being football men.
 Coach Stubbs expressed himself as being well pleased with the first days practice. With around 20 candidates reporting, and others expected later, the squad js expected to shape up nicely.
 Although there will probably be no lack of experienced material, Coach Stubbs stated that as yet it is impossible to even discuss probable combinations. We have bunch of good players out, :" he stated, but no man is outstanding for any position. It will be some time before I am able to line the boys up ac- cording to the positions they will play"
 For instance, Coach Stubbs himself is either center or a forward; Captain Scokel is either forward or a guard j; Wells is also either forward or a guard; Hank Knight, who is manager this season, played at one time or an- other all three positions last season.
 Schedule Rounding Out.
 Although no definite schedule can be given out by Manager Knight yet the bas- ketball menu for the Bulldogs is thought to be rounding into shape nicely now. Manager Knight stated that upon the return of Athletic Director Dillon from

Joint Big League Meeting Postponed To Wednesday
Club Owners Compromise On Date-Gathering { Will Be Held In Chicago

, pointed by the American league yes terday to confer with Landis in an at tempt to bring about full harmony"
 Colonel Jacob Ruppert, president of the New York Yankees and spokesman for this committee, announced that it's members intended to meet Landis early next Wednesday at Chicago, in an eff fort to pave the way for peace at the joint general session. D. S. Barnard of Cleveland and Thomas Shibe of Phila- delphia are the other members of the committee.
 Does Not Break Silence
 Johnson, who attended the meeting today, as did President Heydler of the National league, refused to break the silence he has maintained since his ar rival.
 His friends, however, said he had accepted the rebuke of his own club owners yesterday without outward show of bitterness.
 They predicted he would make no move to Obstruct the attempts to re- store tranquility to major league ranks.
 Jandjs, on the other hand, was rep resented as desiring a complete vlndl- cation of his policies and administra. tion.
 Dictated Action
 As proof of the advantage he had gained so far, it was said authorita- lively, that he had virtually dictated the action of the majors within the past few days, keeping in touch with the situation daily by telephone. He was said. however. to have told associates that he would not continue at the head of organized baseball unless assured no further criticism would be directed at his course. The commission has charged that Johnson violated the agree ment drawn up when Landis took of flee three years ago that no criticism of him was to be made publicly by any league official or club owner.
 Today's meeting was presided over by Leslie OConnor, secretary to Landis. It considered no matters outside the ad- journment date. embodied in resolu tion of sympathy to the commissioner because of his wife's illness.

2 NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The last t kcene in the 1924 drama centering .essabout basebalfs governing forces will be enacted at Chicago next Wednesday :, when Commissioner K. M Landis will preside over joint ajor league meet ing, which is expected to produce a final 'show down" in his war with Ban Johnson, president of the American league.
 The decision to shift the meeting to Chicago was reached this afternoon by Major league club owners, who com promised on the date for their ad- journed session after National league men had sought to arrange the gather ing for this Saturday, while a ma iority of American league magnates held out for postponcment until late ill Jan uary.
 Wanted Early Date
 National league men, it was under stood, insisted upon an early date for the meeting with Landis because of a desire to press the advantage conceded . to have been gained by the commission CTS supporters in obtaining endorse ment from both leagues at their annual meetings within the past few days.
 American leaguers, on the other hand fin an effort to strengthen the hand of Johnson, were said to desire further time to solidify their ranks.
 Both sides finally consented to next weeks date after agreement had been reached by telephone with Landis at Rochester, Minn. where the commis sioner had been kept by the illness of his wife.
 Landis Entrenched
 Credited with a signal victory over Johnson in the outcome of the three days of Major league deliberations here. Commissioner Landis was considered to be solidly entrenched for the final act next week, but there were strong indi- eations that club owners, particularly in American league ranks, would seek a compromise that would settle the feud between the two warning officials
 The first move in this direction will be made by the special committee ap-

PANTHER CO-EDS
 PLAY FIRST TILT
Coach Englebert's Quintet / Meets Woman College Friday Night

. Birmingham-South coed basket ball team will officially open its sea sons schedule tonight. when the cage quintet of Woman's college is met on Its court at Montgomery.
 Coach Englebert put his girls through their final workout before the initial contest Thursday afternoon at the Hill ton gymnasium, where regular prac- tices have been held since early October. Fifteen candidates have been answering 10 the cali each day and are now enter ing their last practice stage before the heavy season gets in full swing i'm , mediately after the Christmas holidays.
 Several New Stars
 ~ Among the co eds out for the team iare several high school stars, who have : shown consistent playing in the work outs all season. The number of candl- dates who are working for varsity berths also includes veterans of former seasons who have again answered the call of the court. Although the new material is promising and will probably see service before the close of the sea son. it is likely that the four returned letter-wearers from last years quintet will form the combination around which Coach Englebert expects to build his varsity machine and he has made de- finite announcement thot they will be included in the opening lineup for to- nights anne.
 Captain Julia Manar, woth three years of service, has heen going good at forward for the past few weeks and brings her wide experience in the sport fo play when she gets on the court. Lucille Williams, who is playing her third season under the Gold and Black colors, has practically cinched guard position. The other varsity guard who will start tonghts contest for the Pantherettes is Lucille Cannon, who showed up so well as a freshman play CT last year and won a letter in this sport her first year out.
 Other Starters
 ' The fourth varsity veteran is Helen 2 Grain, who will begin for the Southern co-eds at center. She was a big of- fensive figure in several games last year, and ;s rated as one of Coach Englebert's most reliable players. The fifth members of the opening lineup will be Trudie Whsenant, new corner, who will occupy the other forward po- sition. Last year saw her as the great scoring star on the Mortimer-J JordaE High school quintet and this season she has been doing fine work, standing out prominently among the first-year candi' dates.
 The other three players who vii! make the Montgomery trip are: Flor ence Quiglcy guard; Susie Rosser, for ward Lela Clarke, guard These co-eds will see action before the end of the initial tilt and are dependend upon to form a strong reserve for the Hilltop cagesters.
 Reserve Candidates
 Other promising candidates coming up from last years reserve team are "Flivver" Ford, Margaret Haynes and Thelma Watts. They are likely to break into the varsity lineup at any time, according to present indications.
 The party going to Woman's college today will be composed of the eight above named players, Coach Englebert, and Miss Wilson, dean of women at Birming gbam- Southern. The group will probably return to Birmingham Saturday.

the S. I. A. A. meet at Charleston, some thing definite will probably be given out. It is understood that Dillon will try to close few association games while attending the Charleston meet.
 The tentative schedule, as it now looks, is thought to contain trip through Georgia, with games with Al bany "Y", Camp Benning, Columbus ''Y", and one or two additional teams.
 The trip to Mobile and New Orleans fell through, it was stated, and all at tentions are being centered on closing the Georgia trip now.
 The first game of the season for the Bulldogs will probably be with the B. A. c. Blues on January 5. The schedule will include games with the usual local foes, Birmingham-Southern and the B. A. C., the Blues being met twice. and the Partners being taken on in three game series.

issued by the Auburn Athletic associa- ton. John Denson, prominent Opelika attorney and Auburn alumnus, is slated as master of ceremonies at the annual athletic get-together.
 At this banquet football letters will be awarded the various members of the varsity team for the season just closed who have qualified for the coveted "A by sufficient participation in the games as is outlined by the "A" club.
 In addition to the members of the varsity team. coaches and athletic of ficials, invitations also have been ex- tended to the members of the freshman and scrub teams.
 The team this year departed from the usual custom of electing the football captain at the annual banquet. Red" Harkins was elected as captain several days ago, with Dean Peterson as alter nate captain.

DREW GOES TO
 S.L A. A. MEET
Dr. Spivey Will Also Rep resent Methodist
 Institution

Coach Harold Drew, head athletic mentor at Birmingham Southern college. and Dr. Ludd M. Spivey, dean of the Methodist institution and chairman of its athletic committee, left Thursday afternoon for Charleston, s. o.; where they will attend today and Satuday the meeting there of the s. l. A. A. rep resentatives.
 It is expected that the Hilltop col lege's delegates will be able to make a creditable report to the convention, since Panther athletic teams thus far this year have made pleasing records, and in- dications point to continuance of this as the basketball season looms up, and baseball material is being looked over. Both southern representatives will re- turn to Birmingham Sunday morning, according to announcement before their departure for Charleston.
 With Coach Dillon from Howard, and also Dr. Ives of the athletic committee at the Baptist institution, going, Bir- mingham will have four representatives at the intercollegiate athletic gathering.

 IN TWO DEALS
Washington Obtains Mike McNally And Stan
 Coveleskie

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-Two impor- tant deals. in both of which the world champion Washington Senators figured, emerged from a maze of negotiations today marking the final gathering of baseball clans here.
 The Senators obtained Stanley Gov eleskie, veteran Cleveland pitcher, and strengthened their infield reserve forces by getting Mike McNally, utility man traded only yesterday to Boston by the New York Yankees for Howard Shanks.
 Washington gave J. T. PrOthro, third baseman called back last season from Memphis, in exchange for McNally, while Cleveland gets Byron Speece, sub marine ball pitcher, and Carl Smith, outfielder, farmed to Memphis last sea son, for Coveleskic.
 McNally Strengthens
 Prothro, 300 hitter, will play reg ularly at third for the Red Sox, ac- cording to Bob Quinn, president of the club. McNally will give the Senators an understudy for third base and short stop, where endorsements were badly needed during the last world series.
 Progress was made by the Yankees in their efforts to obtain Urban Shocker, veteran spitball pitcher, and it was re- ported two St. Louis and three Yankee players would figure in the deal now under consideration, with either Joe Bush or Bob Shawkey going to the Browns.
 St. Louis and Boston National league officials discussed deal the details of which were not disclosed while the eff forts of Cincinnati to obtain Bill Ter ", first baseman from the Giants, were declared off when the Giants refused to take Adolfo Luque, Cuban pitcher, in exchange for Terry and insisted on either Pete Donohue or Eppa Rixey, other members of the Red mound staff.

ENDED BY ACTORS FUND
Erohman Declares Screen Industry
Increases Responsibility Too
Greatly.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, December 4.-The
Actors Fund Of America broke its
animation with the moving picture
industry by unanimously voting to limit
IT'S relief work to the stage alone. Daniel
Frohman. president; Mare Klaw. L F.
Albee and other trustees advocated
TINS action at a special meeting OF the
organization.
Mr.. Frohman declared the moving
picture industry had so greatly in
creased the sponSibilities of the
actors association that it was ad-
Visable for the movies to form its
own relief organiZa tion and leave
the Actors Fund to provide for
theater people exclusively.
BY amending its charter, the fund
decided that for its purposes the term
theatrical profession" is to include
only persons who have pursued the
profession of and have earned their
HVlihood by managing, acting, sing
ing, dancing or otherwise performing
on the dramatic or Vaudeville stage"
II contains the reservation that other
persons connected with the dramatic
profession shall be included only at
the discretion of the board of trustees.
Mr.. Frohman said from $4,000 to
100000 had been expended in bene-
fits for moving picture people in the
West alone in the List two years by
the Actors Fund.
