Memphis, Tenn, Feb. n.-(Special.)- | If F get off in the lead and hold 1t as | long as I did last season, I'll make run away race of the pennant," says Lew Whistler, manager of the Memphis base | ball team Whistler Is most enthusiastic over prospects for landing the pennant. There is no doubt in Whistler's nina but that he had the best team in the League at tho start of the 1908 campaign. He was then managing Montgomsry, ana r the tion assumed the head of the procession is probably history with majority or Southern fans. Whistler explains his Tall- ure to continue in the lead last season by admitting that the original Montgom- cry team, as 1t started off, was outclags- ed by other teams that gradually strengthened as the season progressed. This season with ample capital at his disposaL public that wants to see it's baseball representatives repeat the sue cess of last year and backed by men prominent in the local financial and social | world Whistler may be regarded as I has aleady bagged twenty-one players. l a list of which has been made public and | which has to all appearances been 1n- dorsed by the local fanatics as Good | Enough" Orders have been issued for the team | to report to Red Elm oval for spring | practice on March 21 A week later the preliminary season will be formally ush= 
 | opposing the locals and not until then | viii opportunity be afforded to judge the | successors to Manager Franks 19OS cham plons.
 on paper. however Whistler seems to | have mustered a formidable array of young and old talent in the following, all 1 of whom will be sifted thoroughly for l baseball ability in all of its branches. after which the lineup for opening cham | pionship games will be announced: ' Pitchers, Mcintyre, Hale, Stockdale, Beckel. Goodwin. Brown swain, Yer InfieIders, Whistler. Walters, King, Beecher. Keenan; Outfielders, Al Miller. c. Miller, Dungan and Nichol:

 l The inf1eld will undergo a complete | change, not one of the 1903 delegation having been reserved. Whistler will take Werden's place at first, Walters is prob ably slated to succeed Delehanty at sec ond base, Kling may show up well enough to cause local fans to forget Atz at short stop and the fight for Phyle's place at third will Te between Brouthe-s, | formerly with Birmingham, Shreveport | and New Orleans; Beecher, Three l.. League player; keenan. with New. Or leans last year and one other not yet an- l nounced. The outfield, composed of Dus- l tv Miller in the middle and Dungan and | A.
