Boyer's wonderful piece of handiwork which, the more 1t Is studied. appears to be the worst thing in the shape of base ball schedule ever devised. It is incredibly poor, and if allowed to operate the league would find itself in hopeless tengle before the season was balf over.

BIRMINGHAM TwIRLER
 STOPS IN MONTGOMERY

The first of the army of ball play CTS to get into motion for the annual spring moves struck Montgomery Tuesday night in the person of "Red" Sullivan. The pitcher was drafted by Birmingham from the Oklahoma City, team of the Western Association, and will report to Moiesworth in Bir- mingham.
 Sullivan is @ Little Rock boy and while he says that he realizes that the Southern League is a pretty swift propoaition, thinks that he can hold up In it. At any rate he says that he is going to make a try for it and after he has done his best, why then its up to somebody else.

Y 'sTeamwork and individual baseball sense make the winning combination" says John McCioskey. the veteran manager. Sure they do. Any man ager with a good knowledge of the game can lay out tactical plans Tor teamwork, both in the field and at bat but the task comes when an attempt is made to train players to live up to their instructions in inside work neces- sary for winning team play.
 That Is where the managers work leaves off: except In so far s. as select, ss,.ss heads, and showing them how the game should be played. and where base ball genius begins.
 The great player Is the one who does not stop at the routine of team play but carries 1t to its greatest perfec- tion. Even then, he cannot do his best unless he has other players around him who can aid him in carrying out ms Attack And Defense.
 Take for instance, the two great at- tacking and defensive plans or the game. Tn attack. of course. as Man ager McCloskey agrees, the first es. ssnslaM is bas.is M sS sssween sss the pitcher and the batsman, pure and simple, with the pitcher relying to some extent on the teamwork of his fieiders to aid him. team work begins. both on offense and defense. The batter has the option or bunting and trying to beat It out. or of sacrificing. working the hn-and.rgn play, or trying for a hit without pay ing any attention to the base runner. or he may try to reach first base on called balls. or by being hit with . pitched ball.
 4doution of the silly four strike rule has proved e big handicap in team, .,1s work on the offensive. Frtor 70 tne adoption of that baseball hybrtd pat fer could pick out better balls to nlt at and protect his base runners wlLn much greater ease and safety Four. ing off balls enabled him to protect his hase runners in stealing. when It was pretty certain they would De thrown out, because of poor start Ut It also enabled him to pick out the kind of ball he desired to bunt or place. and. choose his own time in do- inr 30, While bunting and place hit ting are still available methods of st- tack 1t takes better work to make them effective. and there must pc . clearer understanding between tne runner and batsman.
