JUNIOR CHAMBER TO HAYEBANQQET FootbaH Rally At Hill man Hotel Set For
 Thursday

One hundred per cent gridiron spirit, heretofore considered a, disease distinc- tive to the undergraduates, is to be | transplanted here Thursday when the 7 Junior Chamber of Commerce stages . football rally. at the Hillman ho- tel.
 In order to promote as much ill-feeling as possible and so make it an untra-col- legiate occasion. Basil Wood, general chairman of the program committee, has prepared series of events which call for the survival only of the fittest group of alumnia represented at the meeting. Competition in college yells and songs, both to be guaged on vocif- .eration, will form a part of the sched- ule. The throwing of chairs and china is to be barred by the judges.
 Speakers for the evening besides some prominent Birmingham business men who were closely identified with the pig skin during their university ca reers, will include the coaches and cap tains of Alabama, Auburn, Birming- ham-Southern and Howard.
 The banquet-gathering of the mem- bership will be the first since last spring and officials hope to instill enough spirit into the organization to carry it through the ardous list of civic duties it has selected for itself this winter.

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-Tom Gibbons, St. Paul light heavyweight, and Kid Norfolk, Baltimore negro, who meet for 15 rounds in the feature bout of the annual Christmas found boxing carnival at Madison Square Garden to- morrow night, today were declared by their managers to be fit for the fray.
 Gibbons is srtong favorite from his record of boxing skill and iron iawed reception of the best that good men could give.
 Another interesting argument is seen in the matching of Johnny Wilson, former middleweight champion, and Iii ger Flowers, negro, who has been ad- vancing speedily in the last two years. This bout is scheduled for ten rounds.
 Norfolk undoubtedly realizes that this appearance may mean the starting of a fortune which has long been denied him. Possibly the Baltimore tion with the best of the whites, is confident of humbling Gibbons, but | boxing followers are inclined to believe that the same feet and legs which bore Gibbons so gallantly in the meeting with Champion Jack Dempsey at Shel- by. Montana, for 15 rounds, will sus- tain him tomorrow in the garden ring.
 Norfolk has the power and the | punch; Gibbons the greatest defense of any of the heavyweights, and a heart that never was faltered under | fire.
 Gibbons and Norfolk will enter the arena at the prescribed 175 pounds without great difficulty. The Balti-

tecn due to the men developed by him. The list of names is a comprehensive reply to the charge that McGraw can not win except with men developed by others.
 The American league has been nam ing it's most valuable player each sea son for the last three years. George Sisler won the crown in 1922, Babe Ruth was the winner last year and Walter Johnson took the title this year.
 A number of other players were named each year, but first place went to the man receiving the largest num- Der of votps In these three years Ed die Collins. of the Chicago White Sox, has received more votes than any other player in the league, although he never got enough to carry. him to the top In any season. He was fifth in 1922, sec ond last year and second again this year. If Babe Ruth had been per n.itted to compete this year under the rules of the contest, he was at least 3O Ter cent more valuable to the New York Yankees in 1924 than in 1923, but a player once winning the title is auto natically barred from further compe- titiOn.
 On the three years voting the most valuable players in the league rank as follows: Eddie Collins, Babe Ruth, Walter Johnson, George Sisler, Johnny Basser, Harry Heilmann, Charlie Jamicson, Joe Sewell, Ed Rommel, Ray Schalk, Chick" Galloway, Walter Gerber, Herb Pennock, Joe Bush, Wal ter Pip, Hank Severeid.

 The selection is reprinted here be- cause it is the best that we have seen in several years. We, at least, can not improve upon it.
 John J. McGraw was asked in an interview recently to name the greatest player he had ever developed and his answer came readily. He named Chris topher Mathewson.
 McGraw can tale credith for develop ing Mathewson. The late Horace No- gel was manager of the. New York Giants before McGraw became leader o1 the team when it was under Vogels dl- rection. Vogel decided Mathewson could never become a pitcher, but might make a first baseman and that IS where he played him. McGraw saw Mathew sons possibilities as a pitcher and de. yeloped him. While the followers ot base ball may not be convinced that Mathewson was the outstanding pitcher of all time, still it is hard to convince ma ior league pitchers that he was any thing else. Mathewson was the pitch CTS pitcher. To them he was everything A pitcher should be. He had every thing. Not alone did Mathewson have good arm and probably more deliver ies than any star twirler of all tlme' but he had a highly developed intellect. He knew, as few men have ever known, how to pitch.
 McGraw, defending himself against thecharges that he buys pennants, pointed to the men that he has brought out, the graduates of the McGraw school of base ball. On his team that wen the 1924 pennant in the National league, McGraw developed Kelly Frisch, Jackson, Youngs, Lindstrim Wilson, Gowdy, Barnes and Ryan. lie also developed Bentley as pitcher for
 Bentley served Baltimore as first baseman and pitched nine or ten games year as a novelty rather than as a duty to his team.
 Mathewson is not the only pitcher McGraw developed. Among the twirl' CTS he brought out were 'Rube' Mar, quard, Leon Ames, "Hooks" Wilse, Jeti Tesreau and Iron Man" Joe Mciln nity. He developed a number of clever catchers, including Roger Bresnahan Frank Bowerman and Chief Meyers the Indian. He developed flock ", talented infielders and outfielderS anG the list includes such men as Arthur Devlin. Jimmy Sheckard. Larry Doyle George Brown, Moose" MrCormick "Tilly" Shafer. Fred Merkle, Fre' Snodgrass. Buck Herzog. Robertson Arthur Fletcher and Red Murray. McGraw has at times bought de veloped players to strengthen his club but more than 75 per cent of the Me Graw success in winning pennants hal

S.-The pong and tiresome 'tis and 'taint" debate between the literary tennis stars and the lawn and tennis association prob ably will be settled at the annual meet ing of the association here next Saturday when the committee named to settle the Squabble will make it's report. This committees recommendations are likely to be adopted as the final attitude of tlIe association toward players who get extraordinary prices for writing very ordinary literature because their names stand high in sport.
 It is reported that the committees re- port will offer nice compromise where by the players will be allowed to con- rnue wooing the muse but will be for bidden to use their tennis titles over their articles.
