Moutaineers Go to Recover Lost Pres
 tige.
 Sewanee Tenn, April 2.-(speeiaL)-Th baseball team of the University of the South left the mountain today for Knox vile, Tenn, where they will play a series of three games with the team of the Uni versity of Tennessee on April q, 2 and g.
 Sewanee will attempt to win back at these games some of the prestige she con siders lost in the games with Cumber- land University. Two series have been played by Sewanee, consisting of five games In all. Of these five games, Se- vance won two from the University of Nashville by narrow margin, and lost one to this team. Cumberland UniversltN won the two games played here. the last by score of IS to 7 This would ap- parently put Sewanee in about the same class with the University of Tennessee team.
 If any explanation could be given for the loss of the three games, it is due to the lack of D. acticc. None of the play CTS were on the mountain early enough really to begin practice at a seasona ble time. and then the short time devoted to preliminary practice was interrupted by bad weather.
 The team has been practicing faithfully for the past few days, and will be some what improved by the time they face the loHTcSSt0 pltCnCT. LIT. S6l0en, the coach, has found large number of weak points and has been working faithfully on these. He has been devoting a good deal of time to batting practice especial ly, and is getting the men accustomed to handling the sticks
 There will be one or two changes in the line- up for the Tennessee games Winter will leave third base for short stop, exchanging with Kirby Smith, and Shaffer will yield. right field to Cinks for these games. It is impossible to state exactly who will occupy the box for Sewanee, but 1t is possible that Spark man will pitch the first game. and that Sawrie and Scarborough will preside in the following games.
 After the Tennessee games come two with Tulane. May ? and 3. four with Van derbilt, May 6. ', t3 and 14, three with the Georgia Techs. May g. 24 and 25, while the season will end with 8 series of three with the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa. May 90. 31 and June 1.

A FEW FOUL TIPS.

Look cheerful
 Somebody had to lose.
 It was all Hardy yesterday
 There was young fellow named Hardy. Well. let that pass.
 Better luck today It will probably be Jack Ely and George stuitz,
 The cold weather yesterday took all the electricity out of the Pritzel sticks.
 Abner Powell has transferred Outfieldcr Jerry Hayes to the Charleston club. Fl. did not come up to expectations.
 What a glorious chance there was when the bases were full in the ninth. A home run by Delehanty would have almost tied the score.
 Some day the men who run baseball will get together and agree that the season should not open until the icicles have dis appeared.
 There Is one consola ton. the Pretzels in the race this season. They lost the first game.
 At any rate, the Pretzels got more runs than the Fishermen. Good start Nash vile has made towards winning all those games on this trip.
 Did Durrett misjudge Morse's fly in that fatal seventh. or was it a clean two-bag ger? This Is the trouble about not seelng the game on the ground.
 Only two days more and the regular sea- son will open-in Atlanta and Birmingham. Montgomery opens with the Colonels and the Fishermen with the Coal Barons. Ac- cording to dope. the Pretzels and Fisher men should win. Guess again.
 If I don't win this game from Br- mingham tomorrow" he said, 'it will be the. first time in many years that have failed to be with the winning -cluo in the opening game. I believe We will win 1t. and. that we will take two out of the three there. The boys are confident, and our friends may depend upon our very best efforts. I will not be satisfied to come back home with less than six of the ten games. we are to play We have the team to win them. and We are going after them. Three with Birming- ham. three with Atlanta. four with Mont gomery. and then back home. Mash vile American. Good start yesterday, Newt. KeNp 1t up.

The fielding was sharp and brilliant at all stages of the game. Birmingham succeeded in punching hits at opportune times and won. Mime hans brilliant work in the box and his magnificent fielding were easily the features of the game. The double um- pire system was used, Bailey and Wood offciating.
