New Years Comes And Resolutions, Every.

A nationwide increase in brain energy was noted Tuesday morning as the "class." mass and trash" mill Hons on millions, cranked up the thinking machine a notch and di- rected its course along the line of New Years resolutions. Originality in resolutions for the season has be- come such a dear commodities that the Thinker" would strain his marble brain to promulgate an unthought- of resolve. However, 1t is occasionally that some heavy-brained super-hu- man breaks out in a paroxysm of thought and casts up out of a heaped tangle of ideas and brain-ships a shining new resolution that catches the eyes of man as an irresistible magnet.
 The prize winner of the 1924 con test undoubtedly the lengthy gentle man who guides the fate, in part. of the Philadelphia club of the Amer ican league which is commonly known the team for to finish seventh or eighth in the league takes little &C., compliments in the way of athletics. The gentleman, Mir. Cornelius Mo- GillicGdy. slangily known as Connie Mack, is far ahead of the field in New Years resolution ideas.
 My New Years resolution is to put the Athletics in second place this year" .l
 Is that not the prize-winner! Who can challenge such a gem of thought, we ask. A masterpiece of the mind, a superb brain child. unthought of, un- heard of. It is indeed the prize winner. Cornelius continues in explanation of his modest ambition that the Yankees are fated to win the championship again in 1924, and he can do no better than accept the mandate of fate and finish second. However, it will be only for a season, he says, and the 1925 pennant will wave triumphantly over

BLUES GET READY FOR A. & M. GAME
Maroons Will Bring Strong Quintet To
 City

The Birmingham Athletic club bas- ketball machine Is being primed by Coach Lucius Irwin this week for its first engagement, and one that will be probably the hardest of the sea- son. The southern intercollegiate champions of 1922 from Starksville. Miss, the Mississippi Aggies, come to Birmingham for the curtain raiser of the Blues basketball schedule. The game is scheduled for Saturday night in the B. A. c. gymnasium.
 Although two or three familiar faces will appear in the lineup or the starting B. A. c. five, still there Is much new material that will have to be worked over to supply the men for the other positions and just what will be the prowess of the complete combination is matter of conjec- ture. Yet Coach Irwin Is confident and believes that he has the men to build a good machine around. Cap tain Hub Hahn and Norman Mandy will probably form the nusleus while Clemmie Laughinhouse and Hugh Montgomery of last years quintet. may return to the fold to bolster up the team.
 The Blues have been scrimmaging quite a bit during the week and will be in fairly good condition for the game. taking into consideration the earliness of the season. It will be hard game for new combination. however, for the Maroons have ev- cry player of their championship team back and lot of new material to offer competition.
 Among the new men who are ex- pected to strengthen the local team are Armstead Leake, University of Alabama veteran; Mabry. former Wisconsin player; Charley Dudley, former Auburn man; Ollie Eiilburn Of last years Central Y. M. c. A. Red bird quintet; lionel Levvy. who play ed at Central high: Howard, formerly of William and Mary, and several others This layout seems promising enough, but Coach Irwin has been rather pushed for time and in the opening game will use many players In order to get line on them uAder fire.
 The B. A.C.. games. followed by the dances. are big events of the winter in the Magic City and the opening of the season is hailed with delight

Macon School Boy Puts Up
 Driving Two-Fisted Attack! s Which Veteran Is Unable To-
 Withstand

NEWARK, N J., Jan 1-w. L. lYoung) Stribfing, 1syear-old Geor- gia High school aspirant tfor pugilistic { honors,A battered his way to decisive victory aver Dave Rosenberg, rugged X Brooklyn niddleweight. this after moon in a bristling 12-rould bout be- < fore q New Years Day crowd of more { than 1000 \ in ,the First Regiment arrnory,
 s% Dominating the fight from start to finish with an aggressive vigorous at tack. Stribling's triumph was convinc- ing to the first metropolitan audi encc that has seen him in action. No tiecision was rendered. under the New Jersey boxing laws but newspaper critics at tile ringside were unanimous in giving Stribling their verdict. A ina jornty credited the southern youth with 9 of the 12 rounds giving one 5 to Rosenberg and chasing two as < even.
 Stribling had Rosenberg in distress S in at least three rounds, the third sixth and twelfth, but though he i plmmeled the former New York state middlewei.;ht champion with clashing hooks and upper cuts, the Georgian was unable to land to a finishing blow. Freq1ently the. youths inexperf- ence and over-anxiety cost him op- portunities , while Rosenberg, an expert shock abSorber, proved too re- sourceful for his opponent at other times
 Where was plenty of rough and tumble battling al close quarters in which Rosenberg offset StribEng's s swinging attacks with effective in lighting. Stribling's chief weapons were n left uppercut to the jaw and n right cross. which often landed with Managing results. The southerner's $ s.Hced strength and agility were prominent factors in his favor but stamina and courage.
 N strilNing backed up his aggr ressive- ness with d shifty defense out it was not good enough to check entirely Rosenberg's unceasinS body attacks.
 The bout which was the concluding feature of a holiday card, was some thing of 8 family affair. "a" Stribling directed his sons campaign with Her bert Stribling. a younger brother. as bucket handler, while Ma" Stribling viewed the battle from seat just In back of her sons corner: Freddy Welsh. former lightweight champion. at whose farm Stribling finished his training also assisted in handling the Georgian, and, after the fight, the rroup was the center of an erithusi- astio reinsside demonstration. Stribling entered the ring with fiye-pound advantage in weight, scaling 16511a to 160h for Rosenberg. Henry Lewis was the referee.
 Asked about her sons plans after 4he fight, Ma" Stribling seemed more concerned about his return to scnool than future ring engagements.
 .sWe're going right back to Macon, she declared. You know, my boys got soma studying to do.

illustrates what I mean about play ing the position.
 ' If shortstop keeps his head on the job and watches the base run ners closely he will soon learn to judge their speed and how they slide. By watching their ,mannerisims he can also get pretty good line on when they intend to steal. The Batter Has Eyes. Toe.
 A shortstop. especially in the big leagues, must watch himself all the time so as not to tip the. batter off when he intends to cover the sec ond baseman. Remember, the batter, is just as smart and Is also watch shortstop intends to cover the bag he is likely to give the hit and run sign and hit the ball right through that position. That always makes, an infield look foolish. A shortstop- should always hold his position 10 see if the batter is going to hit on that particular pitch--then jump with the swing. of the bat. If ts he doesn't swing jump toward second A shortstop sshou1da never think about making errors. He shouldago after everything possible. Often you Will knock down hits that look iIn- possible to stop. Errors are part sof the game, so do not be afraid of making them.
 These views on the position Fof shortstop also apply to the second baseman in general way. The man difference is that the second base man does not have to havefAs long a throwing arm.
 One piece of advice would like to give to college players and amateurs is to forget that idea that there are such things as natural born ballplayers. There are no such things as natural born ballplayers There are no such things. no more than there are natural born steel magnates and bank president You've got to learn your job by hard work, steady thinking and constant prac- .tice.
 It has been said of me that was natural born bsllplayer. but the fellows who made that crack probably never knew how hard I worked and how I studied to keep track of my opponents.
