Southern Bell encounters East Lake Saturday int the outstanding game on the City league schedule. , Favored by a hefty edge. in. the dope, the Shaw team is no part .of cineh to win, as it will be recalled that East Lake has given them several scares during the current year. Another feature battle, despite the fact that Fairfield has sewed up her pennant, is that between this team and Thomas, tied for second place in the Western loop.
 Several contests doped to be of the hectic variety are interspersed through the slate for the week. That between Acipco and Alabama Power, for in. stance, is no mean affair, as both are hard hitting and fighting outfits The Powermen are pretty sure to win, but l it is just about as certain that they will have to scrap for every inch of ground gained through the Ardis aggregation.
 Another probably spectacular strug- gle should be that resulting when Dos ter-Northington tangles with the fast rising Neale Grocery. Ikey Roebuck managed to win last week, 10 to 9, in 10 innings, despite a severe pounding, and he is therefore due to get a good game out of his system this weekend. If he is right, or Roberts is in good shape, provided he twirls, then the Grocers' sudden spurt is scheduled to end abruptly.
 On the other hand, this same NeaIe team has been fairly burning blisters

through the circuit of late. Slashinx hitting and pretty fair fielding have counted for most of the triumphs; and, if they can continue to clout all pitch ing without moments warning when the storm will break, as they have in the recent past, why then there'll be nothing to do.
 East Birmingham's go with Avondalc park should furnish a neat exhibition of the national pastime, as played by the local amateurs. Both are strong combinations, despite the fact that neither is in several furlongs of Sloss' By-Products thoroughbred entry in the race.
 The fans of Sheffield, Ala, desire to stage baseball game there Labor Day as part of the big celebration planned then. They have asked that the win ming Birmingham team play one of their games with Memphis champions there, but 1t will be impossible for the affair to go through on the date named, as Birmingham's champions will not have been determined by that time. Per haps some other local arrangement can be made to furnish amusement for the North Alabama bugs.

 NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-Johnny Dundee, the India rubber boy, who won the fAtherweight championship of the world last summer after ten years of waiting. has been forced to vacate the title without ever having raised a fist to defend 1t. Dundee is suffering from the terrible affliction that prizefight- CTS call ''the pounds" He has grown too big to make the limit of 128 pounds five hours before ring-tiIne without, as the saying goes in his trade, cutting off q leg or shaving himself sixsmonths un- der the skin. {.
 Dundee's manager, Charlie Johnston called on the boxing commission, at Wednesdays regular meeting and ad- mitted the worst. Johnny will not re- tire from the ring but will totter along tc the next higher class, the light weight. But he, Is 31 years old now and is 30 decrepit that there is almost no chance of his winning the title which Benny Leonard holds but must soon relinquish:.
 Dundee has been fighting for fourteen years. In the last few years he has been human sponge, able to sop up weight or wiring it out of his system as the weight-agreement for his fights required. Last fall, after he had given Eugene Criqui of France a terrible, and, as it now turns out, a needless beating, to take the featherweight title from the French soldier, Dundee's dis placement shot higher than 140 pounds: He wasn't worried then, because he had often found himself actually in the welterweight class and had trimmed himself down in time to keep his en- garments. Realizing, however, that Joe Cans, the old negro lightweight cham pion, had worn himself to a ghost by taking off too much weight, Dundee began to admit to himself that he was no longer a featherweight and must go after the lightweight title. He had fought Benny Leonard even or there abouts nine times when both were younger, so he went after a decision fight with Benny which was arranged for the Yankee stadium. The seat sale was going well, notwithstanding strange whispers which were being borne down the eddying breezes on Broadway con- cering the probable outcome of the fight, when Dundee rashly took a match with a local boy in Philadelphia to flight himself into shape,r The Phil adelphia boy, Kid Wagner, not rated then as a first-elass featherweight, caught Dundee in roly-poly condition and gave him a disastrous hammering which was fatal to the further sale of seats for the Leonard match and caused the cancellation of Dundee's chance to take the title.
 Dundee fought Johnny Kilbane for

GOLF AND OTHER TROUBLES
By BARRIE PAYNE

On rainy days he figured thus :: Guess I might as well go out and pole the old pellet over the sward. None of my victims will be here today. They won't walk here through all this rain"
 On stormy days: "Too much metal in this building. might get struck by lightning. feel safer out in the open. Guess I'll go out to the golf course"
 : When strong wind came up: 'No clients today. The winds blowing the other way. And if one did show up hls eyes would be full of dust and he couldn't see how to do business. Guess I'll play golf"
 When the streets were covered with snow and ice: "No sense in starine here today. If client came he might slip and hurt himself on the way out and sue me or something"
 He also devised a series of signs to hang on the door of his office. We quote few examples: "OUT-OFFICE CLOSED-Cele- brating Tenth Birthday of Walter Ha- gems Pet Kitten"
 "CLOSED-LEGAL HOLIDAY Twenty-one Years Ago Today Bobby Jones Cut His First Tooth.''
 DAY OF NATIONAL MOURN lNG-OFFICB CLOSED--Twenty years ago today my tee shot on the fourth hole at Skinnekewassett rolled into the, cup and bounced out"

Back in the old days, before prohi- bition Awent into what Lardner and I have nicknamed effect, knew golfer who kept himself pretty well fabricated. Perhaps it was this stimulus to his imagination that enabled him to invent 50 many excuses for leaving his office to play golf. Also he was fortunately blessed with a wife who had waxed wealthy with chain of waffle shops. His favorite wise crack was, T earn my bread by the sweat of my frau.T He defended his position thus. "Who- ineli invented work anyhow? And why ' inell didn't he patent it and keep it to himself? Mixing work with golf is like trying to weld the wooden handle to the pewter spoon. Many n good golf CT has failed to reach the heights be- cause he frittered away his time with business and other silly amusements. But lot of these nuts seem to think that golf is merely game Can you imagine that? Huh What is golf. Why golf is--everything It's dis ease. It's cure. It's form of in- sanity. It's professions, a vacation, builder of character, philosophy lit's-it's almost a religion. It's the one thing that makes life worth living 1! It's an oasis in desert of monotony.
