■ . titer looms up as a sort of
. ii • of Birmingham, and the
(bat the place could turn out a
; ing basket ball team is hard to
...iha,-. Yet that very thing has
happened.
_\.,t so much is known of this

i \ seen them in practice re-
. t ii.mil very fast and past mas-
■ . ai -he noble art of shooting
and blocking plays.
The local club team has been
ing for six weeks and has
l„en training more rigorously than
usual. Lack of training has been
the cause of most of the A. A. C.’s
weakness in years past. Than Joe
Bean there is no better basket ball
c.mch in Dixie, and no club offers
mare or better material than the
Ineal athletic club. The trouble has
always been that many of the play
r< were unwilling to undergo the
rigors of hard training, and in con
sequence were not able to stand up
under the hard gruelling of a long
game.
This year Coach Bean has a lot
of natural athletes to work with,
men who are almost always in the
top-not< h condition, and lie lias
worked them to the limit.
Dirk Jemison will referee the
game and Albert Blanchard will
umpire. The game will start at
8:30. After it is over, a dance In
honor of the visitors will be given.

Kramer Joe Fogler and Walker
Left in Sprint Races; Riders Are
All Ready for Six-Day Contest
NEW YORK, Dec. 7.—The finals
in the indoor bike champion
ship of the world will be run
off in Madison Square Garden to
night, with Frank Kramer, national
sprint champion; Joe Fogler, of
Brooklyn, and Gordon Walker, of
Australia, the only survivors of the
elimination races last night, in
which nearly 30 riders entered.
The w hirr of the riders round the
saucer-shaped track, the bark of
the hot dog vendejs. the cries of
the gallery gods and all the other
sounds that go with the annual six
day bicycle race will soon be heard
in Madison Square Garden.
Before the last spectator at the
Gibbons-McGoorty bout bad passed
out of the historic building, a small
army of carpenters entered the big
arena and built the big skimming
dish.
The contractor who built the
track was pledged to complete it in
24 hours, and turned the amazing
trick. This enabled the riders to
try out the boards before the crack
of the pistol sent them away in
competition, f'ounting the riders
for the endurance test and those
who took part in the preliminary
sprint races, the total is close to the
five-score mark.
The track presents a different ap
pearance this year from what it did
in the past. For one thing, the
banks are much steeper than here
tofore, and the sweep into the
stretches is much wider, rendering
the track safer.
Men in Fine Condition.
All of the international stars who
have been training at the Newark
Velodrome arc in the height of con
dition. It is doubtful if ever there
was a better conditioned bunch en
tered for the big annual event in
cycling. The mild weather of the
past few weeks enabled the men to
NO BATTLE IN THE EAST
FOR VANDY NEXT YEAR
Nashville, tenn.. Dec. 7.
The makers of the 1913 sched
ule for Vanderbilt apparently
have no intention of sending the
Commodores into a clash with any
of the big Eastern elevens next,
year. It isn’t because they fear
defeat, or any of that sort of thing,
but an altogether different reason
is responsible for the idea of con
fining Vanderbilt's battles to South
ern teams.
When a contract was made with
Virginia to play in Nashville this
season, it was with the under
standing that the 1913 game would
be played in Charlottesville. Should
the Commodores fix a date for a
scrap with Harvard, Yale or any
one else north of Mason and Dixon’s
line, the game would have to cqme
either on the Saturday previous or
just after the Old Dominion affair
The sharps who are framing up the
fighting dates for Vanderbilt think
that any -qch arrangements as
above would necessitate too much
time spent on Mr. Pullman’s justly
execrated sleepers.
There is still another reason
which nitty or may not have shaped
tlie committee’s plans. IVhen the
smoke itad cleared away at Bir
mingham and the Commodores
emerged with all save honor lost,

train outdoors, and every one of
them is in the very best of physi
cal shape.
Frank Kramer, the world's cham
pion, will try to add to his laurels
this year by winning the indoor
sprint championship of the world.
This rider has won the American ti
tle twelve years in succession.
There isn’t an absentee of any
note whatsoever from the ranks of
the men who are billed to contest
the distribution of the prizes this
year. Although the big event is
being held under different manage
ment it will not lack anything that
it possessed in previous years. The
incentive is just as great, if not
greater, and any changes that have
been made at all fvere made with a
view to benefiting the sport and
competition.
Record Field in Race.
The field this year is larger than
any that has ever competed in a
six-day affair. All of the old fa
vorites are entered and there will
be several new faces in the field.
Many of the new men are cham
pions—that is. those of them that~
hail from foreign climes.
Coaches Mauler and McGugin helcr
a hasty executive session and
adopted resolutions declaring for a
return match next year right bat k
in Rickwood park. Os course, they
had a reason for preferring Rick
wood park to Dudley field. Cer
tainly they did. They were so
chagrined, peeved and hopping
mad they wanted to go back to
Slagtown and literally beat the Au
burnites into smithereens. Maybe
the schedule makers don’t know
anything about the coaches’ wishes,
and again maybe they do.
The game, financially, was a huge
success, and so if’s pretty nearly
certain that the Commodores will
be seen in the Alabama city in a
return engagement.
The outlook in a nutshell is that
the Red and Black team, of Ath
ens, Ga., will be . allowed to tackle
the Comotndores again, very likely
in Atlanta. Sewanee can have the
Turkey day entertainment as long
as the Tiger cares to have it. A
few near-football elevens will be
provided in the early season to give
the Commodores a chance to work
the kinks out of themselves. Ami
Brother-In-Law D. McGugin will
very probably use his persuasive
powers on Brother-In-Law F. Yost,
so the hurry-up coach will bring
his Wolverines to Nashville. It all
•may not be exactly like this, and
again it may.

YANKS CAN GET CHANCE
IF CINCY_GETS TINKER
NEW YORK. Dec. 7.—Frank Har
rell's opportunity to secure Frank
Chance as manager of the Yankees now
rests on the slender prospect of a re
newal of negotiations for the transfer of
Joe Tinker from Chicago to Cincinnati.
And as Garry Herrmann, owner of the
Reds, has announced that the Tinker
deal is absolutely off. there is not much
left on which to hang the hopes of New
York fans who are pulling for the for
mer Cui) boss to land here.
Tinker lias so far abandoned hope
that he will become a regular actor
fellow. He starts rehearsals this week
in Chicago, and says lie is going into
the “legit.’’ No more vaudeville for Joe.
it appears, therefore, that Farrell
must look elsewhere than* to the Na
tional league for a manager. Herrmann
and Tinker are convinced that Charley
Murphy and Johnny Evers, of the Cubs,
will not listen to reason, and the grand
mogul of Redland is now falling back
on Chance as second choice for leader
of his team.
