BASEBALL ON CAMPUS
ALABAMA COLLEGE MEN SHOW.
 ING GOOD FORM.
University Team is a Speedy Aggre- gation and Will Capture the Championship from Tossers
 of Southern Schools.

Prior to the opening of the Southern League season Montgomery and Alabama enthusiasts have watched with interest diamond.
 Alumni of the State University and in fact all ex-college men. have seen with qualification the fall of the strongest Southern college aggregations before the are assured, and for the first time in a number of years, that thA championship or the Southern Inter-Colle5 late Athletic Association. will go to an Alabama insti- tuition.
 Vanderbilt University. Greensboro. the University of Tennessee and Sewanee have all yielded their scalps to the State institution. Auburn. Central of Ken lucky and Cumberland University the University boys have yet to meet but from the records of the teams it seems that there is no doubt that they will all share the fate of their predecessors.
 Auburn has strong team of new men and in their games with Mercer. the Geor- gia School of Technology and the Uni versity of Georgia. have played close games. They have. however. never been able to pull across the winning runs but have only succeeded in laying a founda- tion for team that will next year make the other Southern colleges hustle for the championship.
 Greensboro in its games with the Uni versity and Tulane have shown decided
 
 to hit the crack University pitchers and made monkeys of Tulane, which team had made glowing record in Louisiana and Mississippi. The Greensboro boys have yet to play Sewanee and if they are suc- cessful in their games with the Noun taineers. their place among the top notchers in Southern college baseball is assured.
 The team of the Marion Military Insti- tute has also developed into a goodly az gregation. One of the three games against Tulane went to them, one going the New Orleans team by forfeit. Marion also succeeded in showing Howard Col lege under in the only essay at baseball that team has made in several years. The University team, however, has met with no reverses. With only four old players in college. Tom Stouch. sometime a popular infielder of various Southern League teams, and who has successfully handled the University boys for three sea- sons. went to work among a set of new men and made team seldom seen in the college world. The first game of the sea son was played on the University cam pus against a semi-professional aggrega- tion from Birmingham. having on its line up a number of Southern League players and several well known Magic City ann ateurs. The game went to the University by score of IS to 1. Eddington, who last year developed into a phenomenon at slab work, was in the box for the Uni versity and proved an enigma to the Bir- mngham players as he has since done to every college team.
 Vanderbilt University next fell to the boys from the City of Oaks, In the first game they were unable to solve Edding- ton. In the next game Moore, who per haps has the best record of any college pitcher in the South went in for Ala bama and had the Vanderbilt men abso-

Averages of Black Sox.

The St. Paul exhibition games material ly helped the batting. fielding and pitch ing records of the Black Sox, the in- dividual batting, fielding and team aver ages being improved while every fan who saw those games knows the fine record made by Oscar Streit, George Stultz and Sis Hopkins.
 Molesworth still leads the batting with nineteen hits in the eleven games he has played, an average of .422, while Stickney is next with ten hits in his twelve games. Ike Durett has eleven hits in his twelve games. but he was six times more at bat than Stickney and his average is a bit lower.
 Wilkie Clark leads the fielding with only one error in hfty-two chances behind the bat. fourteen of the chances being as- sists. Molesworth Is next with one error out of thirty-two chances, though Whistler's record is probably the best of the bunch. Only five errors were made out of his 11 difficult chances at first base. Kid Busch has only three errors out of f1fty-seven chances at short, while Kanzler has only five errors out of sixty seven chances at second base, one of the hardest places in the infield to work.
 The team fielding average Is .937 as against .90S last Sunday a gain of g points. George Stultz holds the record of the pitching stan with eleven hits in his four games. only giving two bases on Streit has struck out eight men In his three games. but he has given ten bases on balls. Hopkins has only given four bases on balls in his four games and has struck out four men.
 The averages including the last Sunday game in which Hopkins shut out St. Paul are as follows:

iutely at his mercy until the seventh in nlng. when hot liner put his pitching hand out of business for the rest of the game. Eddington was substituted but men. who scored eight runs in that in ming. The final score was IA to 12 in fla vor of Vanderbilt.
 Eddington. however, on the next day redeemed himself and took two out of the three from the Nashville gang.
 Greensboro was in three games. defeat ed by the University by large scores. Ed dington. Moore and Roberts doing the slab work for Tuscaloosa.
 The Alabamians then took a trip to Tennessee. where at Knoxville they met and defeated the State University by scores of 6 to 5. 5 to 4, and lost one slug ging match by score of Is to 13. Moore and Eddington took their games but Rob erts, the new pitcher. was easy for the Tennesseeans.
 A team from Sewanee. the weakest as yet put out by that institution, then took the field against the Alabama boys, losing three games to them by scores of r to ?. q to and to 2.
 The captain of this years winning team of Tuscaloosa is Fred Moore of Bir- mingham who made his debut as a pitch CT in Montgomery in that garrison finish game against Auburn in 1900. when he lost his first and only game by a score of , to 4. Moore has since that time pitched remarkable games against every Southern college of prominence and for the past two years has lost no games.
 A no less remarkable record is that of David Eddington, the other slab artist. who pitched last year for the University without losing game and who this year has met only one defeat.
 The lineup of the Alabama team is: McMahon and McMillan, catchers: Moore, Eddington and Roberts, pitchers; Rober- son, first base; Forman. second base: Stickney. third base: Caffey, short stop; Daniels. left field; Smith. center field; Young. right field.
 Last year the University would un- doubtedly have won the Southern cham pionship but were unfortunately weak ened by the ruling out of Donahoo and Weaver on charges of professionalism. In 1901 Stouch also had a winning team. but lost two of three close games to Van derbilt, which won the Southern cham pionship.
 Once before the University boys were champions of the South, in the early 90 S when Hugh Morrow. now a State Sena- tor from Jefferson County. was the star pitcher. took the deciding game from Se- vance in fifteen-inning game the final score being to 2.

Language of the Eves.

Gray eyes which turn green with anger or lxcitement show that their possessor has a holeric temperament
 The white of the eyes showing beneath the ris denotes cool deliberation, while those in which the upper lid passs horizontally across Inc pupil tell of decided mental ability.
 Eyes with long. sharp corners indicate the possession of great discernment and penetra- hon
 melancholy temperament and blue eyes ire a conjunction scarcely ever to be met with Brown eyes are said to be the strongest, hough again. those very pale blue eyes are he ones having mesmeric power.
 Never trust A person who looks at you out H the sides of his eyes. Of course habitually here meant. and not once in awhile.
 Upturned eyes typical of devotion, and vide open orbs tell us that their owner is of q lash disposition.
 Perhaps the most beautiful color for eyes is gioet tint seen fairly often in the eyes of goung children and kittens. but seldom pre- erved in mature years, though Irish people ave more than their share of this especial LaAniy.
