Birmingham has a strong team, us
msual and the club will be given an
other «tiff fight, Georgia’'s team ran
up a 36 to 12 score on the Sagtown

:",‘ox. Pound, Mott and Cheves in the
Tine-up. |
Gillam will be at forward for Bir
mingham tonight, He is one of mu!
fastest In the South, and held up his
end very well, according to Athens
reports. Might of the 12 points went
to Glllam, Montgomery and Baker
mre anoither great pair of players who
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
necemsary for a team to win, and that
they are fighting mad. They're going
after the Scuthern championship, ana
now that Camp Greenleaf, which de
feated the locals early in the season,
bas dlsbanded, the Bean men have an
excellent chance of annexing the top
honors in this section

OBILE, ALA., Feb. 15.--The
Nl work of collecting $14,000 sub
scribed last Thursday by a
number of Mobilians to buy the fran- |
chise of the Mobile Baseball Agso
clation to keep it from going to Ma
con, Ca., has been assigned to Sec
retary Charles Z. Colsson, of the gld
organization, and Willilam Norville,
one of the promoters of the new ore
ganization It was announced that
at least §s2oooo will be subscribed
| before the movement is brought (o a
| close,
It is not positively known who will
be president of the new organiza
tion, but the friends of Robert M.
Weinacker, a prominent young mers
| chant, are boosting him for the place.
Weinacker has been a ball player and
has been one of the loyal fans of
Moblle. He has made a great suce
cess In business, and his selection
will meet with popular approval,
The new organization has to build
upa ball club from the ground, and
much fast work will have to be done.
The old owners, Messrs, Staples,
Inge, Jackson and Luce, will turn
over the franchise as soon as they
recelve $9.500, after which they wiil
each take 31,000 of the stock of the
new baseball eorporation.
Charles Z. Colsson, who has made
a success of the game in Mobile on
several occasions, will be the secre
tary If he wants it. Colsson has
made many big trades for the Mobile
!poople and other clubs. He has not
announced what his decision will be
In the matter,
FPat Flaherty can come back o Mo
bile as manager, but whether he will
fccept terms remains to be seen, He
is at present with the tank corps of
the army and is expected to be
mustered out In a few days. He
made a fine Impression here during
the abbreviated season of 1918 i
It was left to the fans, Flaherty
would agailn pflot the Mobile club,
Flaherty has had much experience
&3 a player and had some expe
rience in handling ball clubs and as
A scout. The first matter to be taken
up by the new organization after the
election of the president will be a
manager. Already several interest .-
ed in the organization wil ask for
the signing of Flaherty.
Whether Flaherty or any one else
takes hold of the Mobile ball elub
right now he has a tough job on
his hands. In order to save the club
as much money as possible last year
when he saw that the game was
done for on account of the war,
Flaherty sold off the majority of his
men.

T was a great game at Marietta
I yesterday afternoon, but very
rough. Miss Reynolds, of Semi
nary, was removed from the game
for having committed four personal
fouls, and two others™ Misses Kern
and Stringfellow, were just ready to
drop out—each had three personal
fouls—when they tightened up on
thelr plfi;ying and were allowed to
finish thé game, which ended 13 to 4,
in favor of Marietta.
Miss Rebecea Cole played excellent
ball, scoring ¢ of the 13 points made
by her team. It looks as If this young
lady is on the road to a position on
the All-Prep Captain Galley also
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 team.
She is also the pluckiest. In the last
half she ran squarely into a Marietta
player, and was knocked out. She
stayed out nearly five minutes and
everyone was beginning to think that
#he would have to be taken home in
an ambulance, when she jumped up
and the game proceeded. Anyone
could see that she was very badly
hurt, but nevertheless, she played ex
cellent ball the remainder of the
game

Minus the services of their captaln,
but with the services of a mighty
good center, the Fulton High girls
came out with the big end of a 14-4
score against College Park.
Miss Frances Phillips, a native of
College Park, played one of the best
games of baskethall we have ever
seen. She found the moal for 6 points,
guarded her opponent very closely
and did a lom's share in rendering
the rest of the College Park contin
gent helpless. Miss Graves also
played a great game on working the
floor and addad & points to the win
ners’ column. Miss Adams, who
served in Miss Williams' abacnce, de
serves a great deal of credit., Al
though failing to score, she was part
ly responsible for a good many points
made by fellow pluyers, i
Martha Branham, leader in points
scored during this season, falled to
negotiate a basket, but more than
made up for this in her guard work
Misses Procter, and Lambert are
two goo® players. The first is a for
ward of great ability and a free toss
expert. The latter is a guard- that
made things hot under the winners'
basket. Not to forget Miss Neville,
who rang the only fleld goal of the
losers,

HARTLEYIN,
By CHARLES SHONESY.
ITH Harlley back, G. M. A.
W cdme back, and won over the
Fulton High team yesterday
at College Park, 30-156. The dope
pointed to a good game and a good
game it was, if you witnessed it from
e emm——
the G. M. A. viewpoint. But from the
other, well, the Fulton team and mot-‘
ers were prejty much disappointed.
They had counted on G. M. A, giving
them a close battie, but never once
had it dawned that the game might
g 0 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 Tues~
day against the Smithies it can hard
ly be truthfully stated they had these.
Hartley was all over the court and in
the midst of everythiug that was tak
ing place, =
Gomez, the speed merchant, played
a decidedly different game than in the
past. He took more interest in the
doings and had an eagle eye fastened
on the basket, He was ably assisted
by Frank Armstead. Both accounted
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 anl 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,
Latrd (9)......L. F.......G0mes (12)
Yeager (4)......R. P......Melers (4)
Venable .......C. ....Armstead (12)
Stephenson (2)..L. G..... Hartley (2)
| M00dy...... R. G «.+..Anderson
Substitutions—For G. M. A, Mur
ray, Flournoy and Sims; for Fulton,
Heard and Sparks.
Marist defeated Commercial Fri.
day by the score of 74 to 4. The game
was very clean, only two fouls being
called, one on each side. Everett
Strupper refereed.
. . v
Tech High defeated Peacock Pri
day, 108-18. The score is the largest
in the Prep League this year, and
some of the old stars state that it
breaks the State record. Peacock
also outdid itself, scoring 18 points,
Captain Joe Bennett led the
Smithies in the number of points
scored. He rang the basket for the
total of 30 points during the first
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 Peacock lads,
Willingham and Merritt, of the
scrubs, each made 14 points,
LeCraw and Holleman played the
best game for the losers.\ LeCraw
made several beautiful shofs and it
was he who ran up the score made
by his team.
The score at the end of the first
half was 60-10,

THENS, Feb. 15.—1 n a game,
A spiced with ozcasional rough
ness and featured by the bril-
Lant criss-cross passing of the Geor
gla team and by excellent basketball
from every member of the five, the
Red and Black swamped the Bir
mingham Athletic Clup here last
night, 36 to 12,
The whole Georgia team played
hard and consistently throughout the
game, the star work being done_by
Anderson, Mott and Pound. Ander
son, at center, trailed the ball con
stantly, breaking up the passing of
the Birmingham team, and making
several spectacular field zoals,” while
Pound was under the goal for a shot
whenever the occasion demanded,
shooting in all 12 points.
Mott, at guard, fought like a wild
cat, being particularly active in keep
ing the ball away froin the oppoments’
’hasket. Cox an.l Cheeves played well.
Captain Gillam and Montgomery, at
forward, were the stars for Birming
ham.
\ In the first few minutes of play Bir
‘mingham spurted forward, leatling
Georgia for a few minutes. After the
teams had held neck and neck for a
while in an open garhe which moved
rapidly up and down the floor, the
Georgia team suddenly commenced
!the most successful and brilllant
passing seen on the local court, the
Lall snapping beautifully from man to
marn. 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 before the “puzziing swift- |
ness of the Red and Black atta'ck.l
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 indignant 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 ihe situation admir
ably, and no trouble resulted.
Line-up and score:
Georgia (36). B. A. C. (12).
Pound (12)....R. P Montgomery (2)

“KFrom present indications, Jack
Dempsey is going into the ring a ta-\
vorite. I did not believe such a thing|
could happen when 1 signcd him upy !

get down on the Dempsey end ale |

‘bet SIO,OOO that Dempsey will win and
is willing to bet it at even money. I 8
‘will be the firat time a challenger ever
