Eight Team ParociaI Basketball Loop Opens November 18
SING SING NEGRO PROVES GREAT FOOTBALL FIND

ossining, N. Y. Nov 5-(UP)- Football in Sing Sing prison has developed an outstanding star who is the talk of the Sing Sing campus -ahuge negro known as Alabama Pitts.
 He's a ''tripple threat" man in about a dozen different ways to hear the local fans tell of it. He can punt. drop kick, wiggle his ears, buck the line, pass, run a griken field, ulay the harmonica and centerfeld on the baseball team, and next month is to be starred in the prison show. Alabama plays with the All-Ne- gro eleven, known as the Crush ers." nothing but a prison cell will they say, hold him once he gets traction.
 In a recent practice game with the Hudson Honeys the Crushers needed 6 touchdown. They were on the Honeys' 15-yard line. The ball was snapped to Alabama. He rose to full height, tucked the ball un- der one arm. and shouted!
 Interference, git outa ma way"
 Interference got, and Alabama took the ball and eight Honeys over the goal line.

TANKS BUY SELKICK
 FROM JERSEY CITY

New York, Nov 5-George Sel- kirk, hard-hitting outfielder of the Jersey City International league club, was purchased outright yes- terday by the New York Yankees, according to announcement by Se- cretary Ed Barrow. He will report to Manager Joe Mccarthy when the first squad of players gathers at the St Petersbury framing camp next spring.
 Selkirk playing in 15S games for Jersey City during the 1881 sea- son, compiled a batting average of .310. scoring 80 runs and making I'll hits, Of which 30 were doubles, triples and 13 homers. He is a lef-handed hitter.
 Announcement also was made by Secretary Barrow that the Tanks had internationally released Cy Perkins. veteran catcher though 1t is possible he may return to the fold before next spring. The re- lease, 1t is understood, was grant ed to Perkins so that he might sign with another club in the event he desires to continue as an active player. Failing in this, it is pos sible that he will be re-engaged by Manager Mccarthy as a coach for the Yankee pitchers.

It was in 1916 that Zuppke, with his brave cohorts facing certain annihilation at the hands of a mighty Gopher machine, entered the dressing room and announced to his merry men, T am Louis the Sixteenth, and you are my court" " His players, legend has 1t, laughed so hard they won the game, l4 10 2, and 1t was a great victory for psychology. etc. Halfback Bart Macomber and End Ren Kraft just helped along a little with couple of touchdowns.
 Now, will 1t turn at this late date that Zup was only kidding the boys and that instead of being Lois XVI he really is Humpty Dumpty? Since Grange, the Ster- namans. Chuck Carney, Frosty Peters, Jim McMillen and Miit Olander have gone away from Ill., nois, evil days have indeed set m, evil days to be sure when the lihni can hold down Michigan only to score of 35 to O.
 Take Alexander.
 Now we come. to the sad case or Bill Alexander, coach or what used to be the worlds champion loot ball team of Georgia Tech. Tn the old days of Peter Pund. Mizen, Thomason, Lumpkin and other roliickinr lads of their iK, ''the ramblin' wreck from Georgia Tech" rolled over opposition with no more difficulty than 8 locomotive scoots along the rails. But, gone are the stars of yesteryear. Aleck now finds that instead of coaching a football team he really is coach- ing a football.
 Did .2ill Alexander make Pund, Lumpkin and those others guys, or what? After which we will take up the question of precedence be- tween the poultry and the egg.
 We'll, there's Stagg, too. When Amos and fellows like Eckersail and Red Mcclure and Milt Rom- ney and Five Yards Mccarthy and John Thomas building their characters under his astute tutel- age, 1t was noised about that this Stagg was a sort of Maroon Magi. But let us not go into the Chicago matter any deeper. Too many scholastic requirements to be block out.
 Now Wally Stenen.
 Two of Wally Steffen's teams at Carneigie Tech made Rockne blush. Steffen remains the only coach in this or any other sphere whose teams took two straight from the Rock-ribbed Ramblers. A couple of people such as Harp ster and Eyth played an obscure part in the affairs. But Tech has no more Harpsters and no more Eyth and have bowed low before Washington and Jefferson and Purdue.
 It used to be said by the towns people and burghers along the banks of the Missouri that when ever a University of Missouri team coached by Gwinn Henry lost a gridiron struggle, the river surely would flow up stream and form a lake, somewhere in New Bruns- wick maybe. But look you now! Missouri, at this writing has not won a game, and has been beaten by Texas, Kansas State, Colorado and Iowa State.
 We'll, let's see now, which did. come first. the egg or the tomato?

 What do you think of 8 team that can go out and win three games with . total score of but 1436? After the banning we gave Capt Kazlauskas and his crew last week I suppose they deserve credit for winning three games but, just to be real mean We will drag an adage from out of the moth balls and say Ut wasn't how good Kaz- lauskas team rolled but how rotten the other team was." To keep Al Kasidas pacified let it be known that he was the only consistent bowler on Kazlauskas team with scores of 11l-S2.110 total 319, average 100.12.
 The other team, or the bunch that took 1t on the chin for Q three game lOes was explained by genial Ed Bobbin and what Q reversal of form. The chief flop was Hop Sher- on who found more holes on the alleys than there are in swiss cheese-his score of 273 is proof enough. Engineer Joe Stiklius bcttered Hops score by f7 pins or ECO which was nothing to write home about either; BObbin 245, and Bradunas hitting the teams only decent score with S12.
 Neigh ho! Sheriff Jenusaitis with an individual score of 36S managed to eke out 2-game win from Bivainis and now stands eighth in the. team standing. Jen- usaitis, lead off man Doc Stanes- low has been advised to hold an Indian club in his left hand for blance as he seems to find the right hand gutter with alarming regularity, while banker Ed Kaze- mekas score of 257 indicates that he is saving his fast shots for the ''bear in them thar hills" of Maine: Do we eat when you get back EdT

NEW YORK, April 15.--The'
fall of King Alfonso XIII of
Spain, now journeying into exile
aboard a Spanish warship, dates
directly from a tragic day ten
years ago when the monarch
went over the heads of his cabi-
net officers and generals and
attempted to direct the colonial
army in it's campaign against
the Riffs in Morocco.
Whether it was an autocratic
gesture to be expected of a man
born king or merely an express
sion of confidence in his own
luck and military ability, the
action automatically endowed AL
fonso with a definite personal
responsibility for the terrible dis
aster that followed.
Within a short while after the
king had begun to direct the
campaign by telegraph from Mad
rid, an army of 10000 men, under
General Silvestre, was trapped
