FancifuI Fans Pick Out lnviacibie Teams.
 Three Biloxi fans got into an argu- ment over what players should com, com, pose an "AIl-Southern League, team if such an organization existed They finally decided to form their line-ups and submit them for judgment Here they are. says the New Orleans Times As team-zelIer of Atlanta, D.; zim: mer of Little Rock. C.: Mullaney or Montgomery. 1st. b.: Evans or ShreVe. Cargo of New Orleans, ss.; Rickert of New Orleans, if; Apperious of Mont gomery cf; Winters of Atlanta. If.
 B's Team-Breitenstein, ,. of HeNS Sew or. n. Munaney of Montgomery. 1st b.; Jor :. dan of Atlanta. 2d b.: Babb of Memphis Sd b.; Busch of Montgomery, ss; Gear of Birmingham, IT,; A2peTtlIops, tIon,s or rs Hoh'- Cs Team-Fisher of Shreveport, D.; Grafius of Shreveport. C.; Mullaney or Montgomery, 1st b.: Jordan or Atlanta, Morse of Atlanta. ss Rickert of New Orleans, if. Molesworth of Birming ham. cf.; Thiei of Memphis. If.
 These three line-ups were submitted on baseball and all them familiar with the players in the Southern League. As team was not popular, ana not one of them selected this team as win
 
 B and c 1t was almost toss-up Four, however. thought that Bs team was the better of the two. but three stood out
 careful analysis of the teams se- lected by and c gives the argument to B. Although "Old Man" Breltenstein has not made the record this season that Fisher has to his credit; It IS because he has freduently pitched un- der adverse conditions and then able support has counted in more than one of Fishers games just as 1t dld satur day, when a victory was batted out by the Pirates The honors in that game belonged more to Sallee. the B!rmlng- ham tw!rler. thar thev did to Fisher. but out of tue six hits yielded by Fish. CT, two were two baggers, pne waS g three bagger and one was home run. When the batting averages were tast made up. about a week ago, Bretten- stein was batting at 263 clip, while Fisher was standing at .236. "Britt, " the old man "S10.090 beauty" Is prob ably the better man Of these two.
 Between Zimmer and Graffius there is not a great deal of difference. Ar cher of Atlanta is just about twice as good as either one of them, and It Is surprising that some one of the three Biloxi fans didn't select the bacystop on the Boosters team. Graffius has better record than Zimmer. but the Little Rock chief has been out or the game a great deal, securing all over the country In search of players, and has consequently worked under disadvantagc when behind the bat. Matthews of Birmingham Is another good catcher thev overlooked. 'MaSty' is better than either Trimmer or Graf fius ,.., Mullanev as their first sack man: and in this choice they were wise. There isn't any man holding down the tnt- tial bag Tn the Southern League who IS in the class with the big Montgomery
 Both B. and C. selected Jordan for second base. This was another wise choice. There is a great deal about Jordan which is far from admirable, hnt he Is A good baSakaii 0Iaver Evans. A's selection. is another good man. but moi quite as good as Jordan.
 Between Charley Babb and O'Brisn the odds are probably in favor or the
