GIANTS FACING
CRISIS; PITCHING
GOES TO PIECES
Giants and Reds Battle
Continues Interesting
Spot

NEW YORK, May 20.-All of the
current excitement in the major
leagues is being supplied by the st.
Louis Browns and the Boston Red
SoX. M
The battle between the Giants
and Reds in the national leagues
continues bright feature of the
early season but it lacks the ele-
ment Of !he surprise that is in the
unexpected challenges of the Browns
and the Red SoX in the American
league.
The Giants have lost nine out Of
IL games on the road and there may
be disposition to figure the cham
pion machine as having collapsed.
1t will he recalled, however, that
McGraw's team had a very bad trip
through the west at this time last
year and lost IL games.
The Giants, nevertheless, are in
grave danger as their pitching has
gone to pieces and young Jackson
ism t turning out to be the shortstop
that his boss thought he would be.
1t must be considered that the
Giants have been enjoying just
about 100 per cent of their playing
strength while the Reds; have been
unable to hit their real stride.
The temporary loss of Duncan and
Hargraves certainly will not help
the Reds hold first place but Roush
and Daubert are sure to start hitting
soon and their punch means some
thing. ....
Since the Cleveland Indians and
the Detroit Tigers failed TO do the
expected pushing the champion
Yanks, the Browns and the Red Sox
have stepped out and placed the
champions in dangerous position.

 mail Biloxi Resident

BILOXI, Miss, Dec. 15.-Hugh A Brown, 21 years old, who claims Rich ton, Miss, as his home and who has been resident of Biloxi one year, is held in jail here awaiting preliminary hearing on a charge of sending a threat ening letter through the United States mail addressed to $. J. Tedesco, promi- nent local wholesale merchant, in which he demanded blackmail to the extent of $1O,OOO. Brown, who has been impli- cated in other trouble, denies the pres ent charge. The case against the man was worked up by the Biloxi police and United States Postoffice Inspector A. v $. Hargrove.
 The communication was written by Brown November 2S, mailed through the Biloxi postoffice and was supposed to have been received by Tedesco on Monday morning, November 29, with the following instructions:
 The Biloxian was to leave this city Rose, Miss, near Laurel, where he was supposed to deposit the $1O,OOO at an appointed place i6 carrying out the request of the demand. The Biloxian happened to be in the city at the time he was instructed to leave, so therefore he failed to receive the letter in time to carry out his appointment. Upon his return the day following, in opening his mail he discovered the communica- tion, written in free hand printing. After reading it over, much to his sur prise, he discovered that it was the beginning of a serious affair and noti- fled the police, and Browns arrest followed.

THE BIRMINGHAM AGE-HERALD, TUESDAY,
LIVELY SCRAP
 BY PARK BOARD
 IS LOOKED FOR
Harrison Expects Action > To Be Deferred Until
 New Year

Members of the city commission drew in their lines sharply Monday and pre- pared for lively skirmish over the park board deadlock at their weekly session Tuesday.
 Commissioner w. l.. Harrison, who also is chairman of the park board, an nounced to reporters that he looked for nothing to be done Tuesday and that further efforts to end the deadlock probably will be deferred until early ill 1925"
 This brought from President D. F. McLendon the statement that there has already been '.to much delay" and that he will nominate Henry Upson Sims for the board vacancy and demand a vote at Tuesdays session.
 Harrison said the boards next regu- day, Christmas Eve, would be post poned until after the holidays and that for that reason there was no need for the commission to rush the selection of its next nominee.
 Il am opposed to any further post ponements," McLendon replied. "It is now the city commissions move and shall nominate Mir. Sims Tuesday and insist on action. If the park board real ly wants to begin functioning. it can hold special meeting and confirm our nomination. The park development pro- gram should get under way.'
 Business At StandstilI
 The board deadlock, which McLendon will try to end by nominating Mir. Sims, has existed for more than three months, during which all business has been at standstill.
 Lewis Bowen, after serving one year on the board, was nominated for re- election by the commission at the ex- piration of his term. The board blocked his confirmation by 2-2 deadlock, with NJ. P. Phillips and Elmer Thus ton voting against him and Harrison and Mrs. Charles J. Sharp supporting him.
 The commission again sent Bowen's name to the board and a deadlock again resulted. The commission next nomin- atcd Prof. E. E. Smith, but he with drew his name when it appeared certain he would also be the victim of dead lock.
 At the various meetings of the board during the time this deadlock has dragged on, Mir. Phillips has repeatedly that other business, involving the development program, be taken up, but Harrison has taken the position that the board get it's fifth member be- fore any business is transacted.

DYING OF ALFALFA
 TO BE INVESTIGATED
Secretary Of Agriculture Will Ask Appropriation

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15. - (Spe. cial. )rFor an investigation into the causes of the dying of alfalfa in the three states in which it previously flourished and promised to become an invaluable feed and money crop, the secretary of agriculture this afternoon declared that he would ask congress for an appropriation of $15,0OO.
 The agricultural appropriation bill has already passed the house. The sec retary declared, however, his intention Of asking that the bill be amended in the senate. The Alabamians who inter- viewed the secretary were Senator lief lin and Representatives Oliver, Bank head and McDuffie. Senator Harrison and Representative Collier of Missis- sippi were also present.
 As previously pointed out, alfalfa, after having prospered, began to fail in Mississippi, Alabama and New Jer- sey, states in which it had been grown profitably. The government, according to the secretary, will make an effort to save it.

SOVIETS CAUSTIC
 M NOTE TO v. s,
Claim American Vessel Violated
 International Law
(By Associated Press. ]

MOSCOW, Dec. 15.-George Tchit. cherin, the soviet minister of foreign affairs, on December Il, sent a caustiC note to Secretary Hughes at Washing ton, complaining that the United States coast guard vessel Bear in 1920 had committed an act which constituted a gross violation of international law and of the sovereignty of the soviet repub- lie. The note added that a similar 'lawless act" would be sternly repress- ed by the soviet government.
 The complaint of the soviet govern ment was that the Bear had affixed a brass plate to a rock on the Chukotsk peninsular, in Emma Bay, Cape Pusino, in Siberia near Boring Strait, bearing the inscription:
 Limited States geodetic magnetic station.'
 The plate was discovered by soviet authorities, it bears the warning:
 For disturbing this plate, $250 fine or imprisonment"
 M. Tchitcherin asserted that the dis covery of the plate shows that magnetic observations had been carried out in 1920 and subsequent years by the Bear.
 While pointing out that repeated en- try Of an American war vessel into the territorial water of the soviet republic without permission is contrary to law, M. Tchitcherin said, T must em- phasize that the erection of the foregoing plate and the threat to soviet citizens inscribed on it constitute a gross viola tion of the sovereignty of the soviet republic.

BESSEMER'S DRIVE FOR Y BUILDING IS SUCCESSFUL
Subscriptions Pledged To-
 tai $75,6OS-Over $2O,OOO Raised Monday
{ (Bessemer Bureau)


 BESSEMER, Ala, Dec. 15.-Besse- mer went over the $75,OOO "binding point" in her Y. M. c. A. campaign last night.
 The days subscription totaled $20,- 1O9, more than twice as much as had been truned in on any previous day. This brings the total to date up to $15,6OS, which does not include any subscriptions from the corporations around the city, all of which have proimehd to contribute literally. |. The campaign has not been closed de- spite the fact the minimum has been reached. Close to 50 workers agreed at last nights meeting to accept q proposition made by five leading Resse mer business men, who offered at the meeting to subscribe an additional $500 each if the city will raise another $12,- 800 within the next two days. The workers will, therefore, meet at the "Y" building this morning as they have been doing for the past week and go out with the intention of raising this additional $12,5OO.
 If this sum can be secured, it is point ed put, it will bring the total subscrip- tfons up to $90.O0O. The corporations will subscribe less than $35,O00, it is said, and will give the $125,0O0 it was hoped from the first to raise.
 There are many Bessemer residents who have not yet been solicited, work CTS declared last night, and it is to seeing these that the next two days campaign will be directed.
 When the total of yesterdays canvass were announced at the meeting last night, it was found that the fund was almost $4,50O short of the necessary $15,OOQ. Several speakers tried unsuc- cessfully to start move to raise this sum, but it was only after General Chairman Perry called upon Dr. B. T. Waites, pastor of the First Methodist church, to take charge that the move- ment actually got under way.
 B. Schil1eci, of Schilleci Brothers, ice cream manufacturers, was the first to respond to an appeal for an increase in subscriptions already made. Mr. Schilleci announced that his firm would add $200 to it's previous subscription The storm of applause that greeted this announcement set things in motion and within 30 minutes the necessary amount had been raised-largely through .addi- tionaly subscriptions from persons who had already contributed.
 A committee of women who worked yesterday among officials of large mer- cantile firms of Birmingham reported something over $400 subscribed and the promise of even more liberal subscrip- tions from two other large firms as soon as the matter can be taken up after the holiday rush.
