Birmingham Athlelic Club Here tor Second Clash of Season With A. A. C.
OMING on from Athens, after
being on the opposite end of a
Géorgia victory, the Birming
bam Athletic Club basketecrs hit At
lanta today, They will mingle with
the fast A. A. C. five tonight, begin
ning st 8:30 o'clock.
< This will be the second and last
meeting of these teams this season.
They appeared on the Birmingham
floor a few weeks ago, a goal during
the last minute of play by Captain
John OMver giving the Atlantans a
wictory by a 1 point margin,
Birmingham has a strong team, as
msual, and the club will be given an
other stiff fight. Georgin's team ran
up & 86 to 12 score on the Slagtown
poys In Athens last night, but the
Red and Black also has a powerful
Aggregation, with such players as
Cox, Pound, Mott and Cheves in the
Hne-up.
Qillam will bé at forward for Bir
mingham tonight. He is one of the
fastest in the South, ond feld up his
end very well, according to Athens
reports. FEight of the 12 points went
to Glllam. Montgomery and Baker
are another great pair of pluyerllpho
will give the Atlanta team trouble.
Joe Bean is confident that nis men
will get away, however. He says they
have the old pep, which is always
necessary for a team to win, and that
they are fighting mad. They're going
after the Scuthern champlonship, ana
pow that Camp Greenieaf, which de
eated the locals early in the sensen,
Ll disbanded, the Bean men have an
excellent chance of annexing the top
Sonors in this section.
The same line-up will be on the
fluor for the club topight. It is work
ing like & machins now, and the sea
will be finished with the same
g‘fi‘ur:lon they are injured.

T was a greal pgame at Marfetta
l yesterday afternoon, but very
rough. Miss Reynolds, of Semi
nary, was removed from the game
for having committed four personal
fodls, and two others, Misses Kern
and Stringfellow, were just ready to
drop out--each had three personal
fouls-~when they tlghtened up on
their playing and were allowed to
finish the game, which ended 13 to 4,
in favor of Marietia.
Miss Rebecca Cole p!uyod excellent
bill, scoring ¢ of the 13 points roade
by her team. It looks as if this young
lady s on the road to a position on
the All-Prep Captain Galley alko
played good ball. She has the honor
of not having a field goal scored on
her this season. Miss Willlams played
her usual game at guard
Miss Isabelle Wayt is about the
best player on the Seminary teéam.
She Is also the pluckiest. In the last
half she ran squarely inte a Marietia
player, and was knocked out. She
stayed out ngarly five gninutes and
evervone was beginning to think that
#he would have to be taken home in
an ambulance, when she fnmped up
and the game proceeded. Anyone
could see that she was véry badly
hurt, but nevéitheless, she played ex
cellent ball the remainder of the
game

HARTLEYIN,
By CHARLES SHONESY.
lT[l Harlley bagk, G. M.‘“A,
W ame back, and won over the
Fulton High team yesterday
at Collyge Park, 30-15. The ~ dope
\‘)ointed to a good game and a good
rame it was, if you witnessed it from
‘he G. M. A. viewpoint. But from tlg
other, well, the Fulton team and root
ers were pretty much -disappointed.
They had counted on G. M. A, giving
them a close battle, but never once
had it dawned that the game might
go to the lads from College Park. ~ |
It seems as if Hartley is the life of
the cadet team. They had pep, luck
and skill yesterday when iast ‘l‘ues
day against the Smithies it can hard
ly be truthfully stated they had these.
Hartey was all over the court and in
the midst of everything that was tak
ing place, ‘
Gomez, the speed merchant, played
a decidedly different game than in the
past. He took more interest in the
doifigs and had an eagle eye fastened
on the basket. He was ably gssisted
by Frank Armstead. Both accbunted
for 12 pointers,
. Laird played well and did the big
gest share of scoring for the losers.
' He accounted for % points and broke
up “‘the pass work of the G. M. A
team to a considerable extent. Yeager’
‘handled himself nicely ani found the
‘rings good for 4 points. Stephenson,
who was hurt in the game with the
Junior Smithies, was back and played
nice ball,
The line-up:
Fulton High. G. M. A,
Laird (9)......L. /F.......G0mez (12)

half, Gaston came next with 22. Both
of the Joes were right and they made
their shots good nearly every time.
Tech High's passing was of high
caliber and It was this that baffled
the Peacoeck lads.
Willingham and Merritt, of the

putting his name on the dotted line.

ATHLETES
s By TOM STOKES, JR. -
THENS, Feb. 156.—1 n a game,
spiced with ozcasional rough
ness and featured by the bril-
Lant crlss\crou psssing\ of the Geor
gla team and by excellent basketball
from every' member of the five, the
Red and Rlack swamped, the Bir
mingham Athletic Club here last
night, 36 to 12.
~ The whole Georgia team played
hard and consistently throughout the
game, the sthr work being done by
Anderson, Mott and Pound. Anders
son, at center, trailed the ball con
stantly, breaking up the passing of
the Birmingham team, and making
several spectacular field joals, while
'Pound was under the goal for a shot
whenever ‘the occasion demanded,
shooting in all 12 points.
Mott, at guard, fQught like a wild
cat, being particularly active in keep
;ing the ball away froi the opponents’
basket. Cox an.i Cheeves played well.
Captain Gillam and Montgonréry, at
forward, were the stars for Birming
ham. {
In the first few minutes of play Bir
mingham spurted forward, leading
Georgia, for a few minutes, After the
teams had heid neck and neck for a
while in an open game which moved
rapidly up and down the floor, the
Georgia team suddenly commenced
lt,he most syccessful and brilliant
passing seen on the local court, the
Eall snapping beautifully from man to
man. At the end of the half the score
was 15 to 9 in Georgia's favor.,” "
Birmingham was unable to come
back in the second half, being totally
powerless beafore the puzziing swift
ness of the Red and Black attack.
Three points on fouls were the only
score- of B. A. C. during this half,
while Georgia added 21. Toward the
end of the half there was a general
rush of indi&nant Georgia rooters onto
the court when there appeared to be
unfair play in a general mix-up.
However, Referee Jones, assisted by
the members of the Red and Black
squad, handled ilhe situation admir
ably, and no trouble resulted.
Line-up and score:
Georgia (36). ~ B. A C. (12).

~Precedent will be swept to the four
winds jin the coming battle for the

This is the opinion of Tex Rickard,
who will promote the big fight.
“I started out to make the coming
battle a record-breaker in more ways
‘than one,” said Rickdrd today. “I
determined to offer the largest purse
ever hung up'for rwo fighters, and I
hope to stage ‘the contest before the
greatest crowd that eyer witnessed a
ring battle, but I gugss the fight is
going to be a rer‘nrfi?breuer in ane
other way as well,
“From present indicatiens, - Jack
Dempsey is going into the ring a fa
vorite. T did not believe such a thing
could happen when’l signed him up,
but it sure looks that way now. \
“The betting fratornity is trying to
get down on the Dempsey end alw,
ready., 1 hear one man is trying to
bet SIO.OOO that Dempsey wiil win and
is willing to bet it at even money. It
will be the first time a chadllenger ever
entered the ring a favorite.
Rickard had “nothing to report” re«
garding a site for the battle today.
He is preparing to leave here tomore
row for the West and will visit sev«
eral cities which' have made bids for
the battle, winding up in Oklahomas
