 The team will practice twice today if it is not too cold.-Nashville American.
 "Humpty," as you call him, was dis contented last year. He will be more so this season.
 From present indications both Morse and Butler in addition to McElveen will be retained. Unless the unexpected sets in, Mac will be used exclusively in the outfield this year, although the 1907 third baseman ient crazy over the switch. He'd rather work at third than anywhere else, but with Lansing on that Job the opening is much smaller than the ou--ield gap. where McElveen should do better work than he has ever done before. If Morse wins out at second, Butler will be held as a utility 1nfielder, and the vice versa gag is also true. The chances are that Butler will have the call over Whtey as an infielder, but whether or not he can hit with the blonde athlete is another question. Few in the league have any thing on Morse when it comes to slam ming in the runs.-Nashville Tennesean.
 There Is only one thing that may pre- vent the Pelicans from covering them selves with glory by giving the Sox good walloping or two, and that Is the absence of all the teams best pitchers, except Guese. "Whitey" is the only one of the regular pitchers now on the scene, but that is considerable consolation in view of the fact that last spring "WhiteX" shut out the Sox with two hits. That's something few other minor league pitch CTS have done, and if the big fellow can do it again, all will be well.-New Orleans Item
 If you make terms with your men you'd be all right.
 Manager Ganzel announced this morn ing that George Paskert will be the reg ular centerfielder of the team this sea son. He has seen enough of the Atlanta boy to feel sure that he is the classiest of the recruits and that he can hold his own in fast company. To make Cancels choice look good Paslert put up a great game this afternoon, fielding very fast and getting the hit that tied the score TOT the Reds in the ninth and kept them on earth until they could go ahead and win out. Now that Paskert has been def- nitely picked for the centerfield job, only two places remain unified on the regular team-third base and left field. ."-Cincin- nati Enquirer
 Garvn is proving to be fine fellow behind the bat: he is full of fun and ginger oozes out of nim like turpentine out of freshly boxed pine. He works the pitcher, too, and when he is not too busy doing something else in his line work, incidentally helps the umpire out on balls and strkes.-Mobile Register.
