BAILEY CRACK ... <, SUM JUGGLER

CLEARWATER, Fla, Feb. 25-Gene Bailey, outfielder of the Brooklyn Dodgers. has suddenly revealed a hith- erto latent mathematical genius, and a new process of reckoning with tax payers no doubt will be eager to invoke in the computation5 of their dues to the government. Mr. Bailey, who was schooled in, Texas, owes no credit to the pedagogues of the little red school house, in as much as his invention flouts the mathematical principles which they expounded to him in his youth. He thought it all up himself. By his process it appears that six times $700 Is a greater sum than $5,000.
 Bailey, a second-year man with the Dodgers, was offered $5,000 for the sea- son of 1924. In the stilly nights of the off-seagon, sprawled on the hearth of his far-away home, Bailey did sums on whitewashed spade with dead embers from the fire and decided that he was not being offered enough.
 Wanted More
 "I won't take $5000," he informed the Dodgers at last. T. am worth $700 a month"
 As the season lasts six months in the major leagues, 1t will be seen that Bailey's demand differs by $500 from the amount offered him. The Dodgers management for once has eagerly ac- cepted the terms proposed by spring hofdout, and there is a hope, although not very strong one, that Bailey's sys- tenn of doing sums will be taken up by ball players in general,

 PULLS NEW ONE

MARQUETTE. Mich. Feb. 25.- Referee Glenn Craze has raised a fine point in basketball circles in the upper peninsula, and the Iron Range today is re-echoing with the arguments of the pros and cons. 7
 Baraga and Champion. two high school teams, were playing Satur- day night. It was very close. With Champion leading, Baraga for ward dropped free throw through the hoop. Champion protested. The Baraga player. according to the Champion objection, stood two inches over the foul line when he made the throw. Referee Craze agreed with the protest, but declared the basket should count. The Baraga players. he, said, were wearing shoes two inches too large for their feet. and therefore the basket shooter did ' not actually stand owe" :he foul line in making the thlow.
 The Baraga player removed his shoes and his feet were measured. The referees contention was proved to be correct-the players shoes were two inches too large for him.
 Baraga won the game.

'Barna Girls

Slow First Half Merges Into
 Fast Contest At B. A. C. : { Monday Night

Goldentmiddied girls of Birmingham Southern adowned Crimson clad. co-eds of Alabafn Monday night at the Attn letic club by the score of 19 to 6. The game was one of the most peculiar girls games seen here this season. The first half was almost void of scoring of any degree and the period ended to loop the basket from ,afield were frustrated by opposing guards and lax ity of refereeing allowed for much holding, running with the ball and other violations. -t
 A foul goal pitched by Corda Stans- bury in the first half was the lone Pantherette tally. Virginia Shelbourne looped one from the foul marker for Bamase but the point was thrown out in the foul ring. Cowboy" Knuckois tossed the free throw that gave. the Crimsonettes their first half tally.
 Fast Finish.
 ;e The last half, however. was a vastly different affair and was featured by a general speeding up in play by both teams. In this half Helen Grain, Pam theretter@ center, went on a shooting spree and looped five field goals. Some of them were excellent throws. Her shooting stood out over all others on the court. Corda Stansbury swelled the Pantherettes' score with a couple of pretty field goals during the 5,second half.
 The Alabama co-eds were obviously used to play by girls rules and the 1Pantherettes' masculine style of play rather bewildered@ them. Used to the many technical fouls for violations inn bibed in the game as played by the fairer sex, the visiting 'Bama players rHfAR aA ANrnv v1t restraint did not bother one fair visi- tor. Mary Brinskelle, for she was play ing in her own element at the boys rule game. She was a Pantherette un- til mid-season. She played a good game against her former teammates and shot the only field goal for the Alabama five. She also looped a cou- pie of fouls.
 Knuckols and Robertson also played a good game for Alabama at forward and guard. respectively. Julia Mariar played a good floor game for the Pan- therettes at forward, while Elizabeth Green starred at guard.

Boorde In
 City Ready For Nelson
Evans Arranges. Excellent Card For Athletic Show
 Friday Night

Freddy Boorde, the antagonistic At lantan, slid quietly into Birmingham late Monday afternoon, parked two cor pulent suitcases at a local hotel. re- ported to. Matehmaker Evans at the Birmingham Athletic clab and an- nounced that he was here and ready for the 10-round so at the B. A. c. Friday night when be win take on Phil Nelson. the Nashville tenn -age schoolboy. <,
 Ferocious Freddie has engaged in some 50 ring battles since he last ap- peared locally, but bears few scars of battle. This has a tendency to show that Sir Freddie has learned to keep the five-ouneers off his frontispiece. In the 50 affairs in which he<h has engaged he came out victor in a great majority improved wonderfully since he was last seen here, and he appears particularly anxious to show his fans all the little fancy tricks of the trade he has picked up. ::
 Nelson is not expected in town until some time Thursday. Like Young Stribling, the Nashville boy hasn't yet he does his ring stuff during the week ends. Fact that he has met and beaten both Benny Parman and Tommy Fowlkes has caused his stock to climb steadily in Birmingham, however, and there are many who feel that the Nash vile flash can trim Boorde.
 Newman vs. Spark, Plug. For the Friday night sport menu Matchmaker Evans has arranged what Is considered :.wow" for the semi windup. Spark Plug and Speedy New man are to argue matters over the six round route. The last time Speedy met Sparky, Speedy's kick was the greater. In fact, Speedy landed a haymaker, | and Sparky's alibi was that Newman | a chance blow did the rest. The Evans protege is in the best of condition now | however, and will Shave no plausible alibi to offer should Newman be sue cessful in repeating the dose Friday night.
 The tilt between the light-heavies is also attracting considerable attention. Big Boy Crockard, whd challenged Big Boy Edwards and got his challenge accepted, is planningfto do considerable ring work locally. He believes in him. ] self to the extent that he thinks he 1 can make quick work of Edwards or any other light-heavy that Evans can trot forth, and hetis bent on wading through the local Fcrop and thereby winning the right to meet Young Strib- ling. If Crockard can convince local fans that he has the goods he will get | . chance at Stribiing here later. The wrestling headliner, which will lead off Friday nights athletic show, will be between the old war horse, Tom Lacey, and Kid Harrington, a brother of Dummy Barrington's, who has won much fame on the local mat.
 A four-round go between Petey Sar- ron and Kid Rich promises to round out a well-balanced card and one wor- thy of drawing as many people as the I B. A. c. gym will hold

Stribling Is Defeated By
 Buffalo Boy
Jim Slattery Bores In and Dixie Championship
 Aspirant Loses.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Feb. 25-Young Stribling of Macon, Ga, contender for Mike McTigue's light heavyweight crown, lost a six-round decision to Jimmy Slattery of Buffalo here to- night
 Stribling's chances of victory slipped from his grasp when Slattery tore into him at the opening of the last round, traded punches in the center of the ring and forced him to cover. The fight was nearly even at the end of the fifth
 After the first minute of fighting in the sixth, when Stribling took two hard jabs to the jaw without a return, the Georgia's youths aggressiveness melted rapidly. Before the end of the round he was forced to hang on in clinches to avoid the Buffalo boys ripping in- fighting.
 Stribling started confidently, measur- ing Slattery with long jabs to the jaw and body and keeping himself we'll clear. He covered well when the Buff falo boy attempted to bore in and took the first two rounds in easy style.
 Slattery's confidence grew as the fight progressed and the half expected knockout punch failed to materialize. He traded blows with less caution and forced Stribling to split the honors in the third and fourth rounds

IVAN .PARKE IS
 NOW GRADUATED

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 25.-Ivan Parke, the Delco, Idaho. lad who has showed the way to every jockey on the months, will automatically lose the five pound "bug" or apprentice allowance on March g. Parke won his first race at Tia Juana, March 1S, 1923, and &C., cording to the rules loses his apprentice allowance one year later.
 Race followers declare loss of the "bug" should have little effect on Parke's riding, for they have regarded the allowance to a jockey of his caliber as an absurdity.
 On the New Orleans tracks since January l Parke has piloted winners of s1 races. and it Is regarded as highly probable his mark will be in excess of 100 toward the 1924 championship be- fore he loses his apprentice allowance.
