Baseball of the Year.
COLLEGlANS ARE RAPID

Tuscaloosa March 20.-(Special,)-A
large crowd of enthusiasts saw the Uni
verslty baseball team open the home
season this afternoon with a victory,
picked nine from Birmingham being de-
feated by a score of II to A. A dead
diamond prevented fast fielding on either
side The varsity team played together
and put up clean game, the outfleld
being especially clever. From their show
ing this afternoon. it seems that Coach
Stouch has turned out another lot of
champions.
The Birmingham team went on the field
without an hours practice and this
proved too much of handicap McCon-
nell and Schwent. two members of the
Birmingham league team showed up
well. while Dad LeRocque got a hit each
time up. Bulger played good ball In left
field. sorbers three-bagger for Birming-
ham and Young's home run for Tusca-
loosa were the longest drives of the
game. Eddngton pitched steady ball
throughout, as did Schwent and Hickman.
Misses Dwyer, Hamilton, Brockway and
Snow accompanied the Birmingham team
and the grandstand presented quite an
animated picture when Birmingham did
succeed in scoring.

GIRLS FACE HAUNTs HIM.
Man confesses to Murder of Girl In
San Francisco.

Lincoln, Neb., March 20,-A special
to the Star from Fremont, Neb., says:
A man who gives the name of John
Bennett and who asserts he is the
murderer of Nora Fuller, girl who
was killed at San Francisco over a
year ago, has surrendered to Sheriff
Bauman here and is being held. The
man appeared at the Jail door last
night and begged the sheriff to i'm
prison him, saying that the face of the
dead girl haunted him. The prisoner
is about 40 years old and we'll dressed.
He is good-lool1ing, wears a stubby
black mustache and weighs about 100
pounds. Bennett, confessing his crime
to the sheriff, said that he formerly
was lawyer, but that he had done
nothing since the murder
Bennett says he choked the girl to
death at house, 1112 Walnut street,
San Francisco He would not tell why
he committed the crime, but said that
after 1t was done he left the city hast
lily. He was placed in a cell and
during the night raved like a wild
man. AT one time he addressed a
fancied jury. This morning the pris-
oner was much more quiet. He will
be held for examination.
