aires' haven, and Aebury Park, one of the places the Lord blessed. Thinking of the camp reminds us of the many white hopes that were being gr0omed there. It also brings to mind what we might term the tnRratitude of some boxers. Jimmy had certain money-maker and two days before his birthday Jim my and his wife, the real "boss" of the camp, and one of the best poker players in the state, ran into jewelry store in Asbury Park and bought the boxfighter a $50 dia- mond locket--they wore lockets from the lapel of the coat then.
 They had it put in a pretty box, with the fighters initials engraved and everything. and there was quite a re- caption held when time came to pre- sent the gift. Believe 1t or not, as Rip says, when that boxer accepted the gift opened it and gave 1t the "opce over, : he looked up at Jimmy and pipeA; "Is my birthday"
 Jimmy had Q business method diff ferent from other manaEers.y If you felt that you had the stuff to make fighter. you could to to Jimmy without a nickel and he would take you and train ana feed you. He would feed you two years if necessary, then, when the fights Jimmy would "cut" them fifty fifty. That was Jimmy's system and 1t was fair, because the. money he made off one boxer would be used to run the camp and keAD an. other "comer" in prOvistOnnsSaa

SIMPSON HI WINS INV
 CONSOLATION GAME Purple Tornado Downs Alburque Five In Na-
 tional Cage Tourney At Chicago

CHICAGO, April 2.--(By Special Rtpresentative.)-The Simpson High school basketball team won their way into the second round of the consola- tion tournament at the University of Chicago today when they defeated the strong Albuquerque, New Mexico, team by the score of 27 to fl. The play of the Simpson team, both on the defense and on the offense, was probably the feature. Time after time the Simpson men took the ball down the floor and tossed it through the basket for a goal.
 c. Vincent lead in the scoring for the Alabama five and was closely fol- lowed by his teammate, c. Byrd, with g points. Cruz, of the Albuquerque team, did the major portion of the scoring for the New Mexico five, with 10 points.
 The Alabama boys showed much i'm provement over the form displayed in the game with the Wichita, Kas., rep resentatives Tuesday. All of the play CTS exhibited much better form.
 It would be extremely difficult to pick the most outstanding players today

CoME guys are born with a silver
 spoon in their mouth and seem to get all the breaks. On the other hand. we keep thinking of two gents who certainly haven't "got across' as they should have. Today's slide speaks of one William McCarney, manager of fighters, and one Jimmy De Forest trainer of pugilists extraordinary.
 The first time we met Jimmy he
 was handling Pal Moore. the light
 weight boxer of Philadelphia. The
 first time we met Billy McCarney
 he was getting matches for Luther
 McoeFthy. He was trying to do
 more than that. He was trying to
 make Luther heavyweight cham
 pion of the world, which was an
 adrnirabIe plan. being as . pug \
 named Johnson was champion. ' Some Of the boya,, or most followers of tue ring sport, will remember the sad climax written in Luther's career. He died in the ring from a blow over the heart delivered by Arthur Pelky. Billy has managed other near-cham- pions since, but he never yet has been in on ''the big jack.@ And 1t isn't be- cause he doesn't do right by the world and his battlers.
 McCarney is one of those meet
 able gente who has c smile and q
 kind word for everybody. Fans will
 remember from reading recent dis
 patches that 1t was McCarney who
 arranged Q series of easy matches
 In various eastern cities for Luis
 Flrpo. After Billy had everything
 all set. Firpo up and does one of
 those "I'm through" things and Mao
 has another bad break marked
 Rgainst him, E.
 And remember what a deal Firpo gave De Forest? They do say that if Luis had stayed with Jimmy that he would be champ of the heavies today. It wasn't the first bad break Jimmy got, Unless the writer is poor judge of good fellows, both Billy and Jimmy deserve better luck. About the time that Willie Richie was taking the light weight crown from Fred Welsh, who handled Stribling the other night, we visited De Forests camp.
 It was, and stIn is, we believe, eituatcd in Allenhurst. N. J., which

ALABAMA BEATS FURMAN'S NINE,
 BY SCORE F TOO Steed Pitches Alright
 In Pinches And Shuts Out Opponents

UNIVERSITY, Ala, April 2.--(Spe- cial)-Herb Steed allowed Furman three hits this afternoon and pulled out of several deep holes while 'Bama batters gsrnered 15 hits and took ad- vantage of seven errors to win by a score of I2-0.
 steed found himself in a precarious position in the first, when an error, a single and walk clogged the paths with only one down. However. Bill hit into a double play. Again, in the third, two Thurman hitters got on. Tn the seventh, the same took place after one was out. In only four innings did Steed retire the side in order, but he certainly did tighten up when it seemed as If runs were going to be scored.
 Furman failed to give the opposition expected. The Crimsons jumped on them with barrage of hits in the ipi- ttal frame and hammered at the of- ferings of Drummond until he retired. Cohen, Gillis and Salmon led the at- tack, this trio pf youngsters gathering nine hits among them.
 Cohen Stars
 Capstone fans got much pleasure watching Andy Cohen in left field. With Propst out, 1t fell upon him to guard the pasture as best he could. Six chances, most of them hard, were handled la Speaker. The first three times he roamed up to the plate he smacked out safe hit. In other words, Cohen played like he intended playing out ip left field the rest of the sea-. son.
 'Bama scored two in the first when Salmon walked, Gillis tripled and Cruise singled. They added three in. the sec- ond when Cohen singled, Green walked and advanced on a sacrifice. Salmon scored both with a base rap and went to third on Gillts' blow. Here they worked the double steal successfully. Salmon scored again in the fourth from first on Giilis' double. In the fifth, four more runs were made. Three hits, one Steed's triple, and two errors ac- for this.
 The last two runs came in the eighth

STEWARTS LOSE OUT 2 IN IO'INNING CAME
White Sox And Giants To Play At Redwood
 Ns Friday At } Clock

The Barons and Saints staged jamb- up nine-inning game of baseball We'd nesday afternoon at Redwood field, but when they went into the tenth fn- ming it was like the last part of stump tious Christmas dinner-not so good. The St. Paul crew won to 4 on the strength of five runs in the tenth to the Barons' two,
 For nine innings Markle and Mc- Quaid had held the Barons to six hits and two runs, while Daniels and Dun agan had breezed through with eight and two. However, the, extra inning was wild affair of hitting and rum ping and was like a section of a sand Pt game taken bodily and annexed to the extremity of Glass A contest.
 The Barons tied the score in the ninth inning by a bit of daring base running after the day seemed lost by the locals without an extra inning en- deavor. Jeanes came up first and crashed grounder full into Third Baseman Dressen and he sslet it get through his glove. McDonatd popped one up to Koenig at short. Then Herb Brennef, came to the bat and hit one down the groove. Fast fielding by Mo- Ghee and a pretty throw to second nipped him when he tried to make 1t a double. Jeanes stopped on third. Lootey was walked and then Manager stewart ordered the double steal. The play was pulled to perfection with q little aid on high throw to second by catcher McMeneny. Tooley stopped short of second and Morse tried to whip the ball back home to get Jeanes, put was too late. The play went for nought. however, as the next inning marked a Baron blow-up.
 Saints Hit a Gait
 The Saints showed a marked improve maent with the willow and slammed out 14 safe bingles, with a large percentage Of extrarhase clouts. McGhee, Riggert and Haas led the field for the Saints with three safeties out of five tries, Dressen copped a double and triple out of five chances
 Tom Daniels had his fast ball breez- Ing In Wednesday in good shape, while Carl Dunagan pitched steady ball until the tenth. Both of these twirlers are speed ball chunkers and are there when 1t comes to steam.
 McQuaid, who went in for Markle, threw wicked side-arm fling that was 100 stearny for q large portion of Baron oatters-six whiffed in five innings.
 The Saints close out the series here Thursday afternoon. The game will start at o'clock. Williams and Allen VIII be the battery for St. Paul, while Bates and Robertson will probably start for Birmingham.
 SoU and Giants Here

 Personally. when am playing a cer- tain club badly. I always practice 1t more than any other club. but not imme diately before a game. An odd half hour or even 15 minutes. whenever possible, will help any player greatly. I would not practice too long with any single club. for as soon as the interest wanes. the practice is use- less. A few shots with each club, one or two out of the rough. and some bunker work around the green will help event. ually. Finally. finish off with a few long and short butts alternately. This should not take more than 30 minutes, will not tire any one and will be interesting.
