Henline Tells Life Story;
 ShOYf Political Career
By BI IL AK.

Montgomery, April A.-(Special. .)-When Noah Henline injured his leg the other day in Atlanta, and it began to appear that he would not be able to play any more this season, in his moments of un- consolable depression he let slip some facts in his past life that will be news to the fans at home.
 q regret" stated Henline, that I ever left the political field. I had a brilliant opportunity to get the governorship of Illinois and maybe the presidency of the United States. Why not? Some 30 years ago, who ever dreamed that Bill Taft would get the job?"
 When the Barons who heard had dried away the tears that laughter had caused, Henline continued
 Tt was in Lexington, H., beautiful city if small and not often heard of. The justice of the peace died. There were two couples very desirous of getting hitcbed up. The only minister of the city was spending a vacation at Coney Isle So what were we to do. The couples could not look at each other for an entire month longer, and their select stock of pet words and heaving sighs was we'll nigh exhausted. Just then we thought of an election. My friends were so insistent that I agreed to make the race. The race was made, and l won by a majority of three votes. The other fellow got 10 in all
 Then came the couples before me. l attempted to say the words right off the real, but something got in my neck so thick that 1 could hardly speak I was in more serious predicament than the nervous couples. But soon I found the place in the book, read rapidly Dumping over the words difficult of pronunciation and there were two move husbands and two more wives in the metropolis.
 Ere long the seed brought forth fruit, and today in Lexington there are two Noah Henlnes and neither is a kinsman of mine.
 q got to be a constable pretty soon after that, and a member of the executive committee of the Farmers union. Later I became secretary of that body, ana was just about to make the race for mayor when some one came along and got me

Montgomery, April ecial)-When Eddie Greminger gets his pitching staff together 1t is very probable that he will be able to make a good fight this sea- son.
 Lively. Guese, DeBalt. Bliss and George are average twirlers and 1t is probable that Lively will develop into a first-class man. He has a good splitter" and when 1t Is working he is very effective. Every body knows Guese. DeBalt is an anna teur whose ability is such that Gremin- ger thought him worthy of a thorough try-out. Bliss has been good. but has shown very little in Dixie. George will hardly remain in the league. Thomas Is a good pitcher. a hrst-class man, and he will arrive about the middle of May Juul Is a lad of promise, too, and 1t is probable that he will develop into main stay. Greminger, like Moiesworth. is after other twirlers. for 1t Is true that pitchers are responsible for the winning or loss of about three-fourths of all the games played.
 The Montgomery infield is far from be- ing a star bunch. Greminger Is a good man, both in the field and at the bat. Rockenfield is fair, too, in both depart ments Pope is a good infelder, beyond question, in spite of the fact that he goes up at critical moments. The least said of his stick work the better. He will hardly get above the 200 mark this sea son, although he generally gets hits against the Barons. Manush, according to reports, Is a rattling good man. He has shown very little against Birming- ham, however. His hitting Tn the first two games was exceedingly light. Per sons and Daley are better than the aver

age outfielders. Both are safe on the de- fensive, and dangerous at the bat. Ker- win is an old performer. and il is very questionable as to whether he is better than Whiteman the hard-hitting Texan who is sitting on the bench in the role of general utility man. In this connec- tion 1t is freely reported in Montgomery that Whiteman would be assured a place in the outfielD but for warm rriend- ship that exists between the manager and the former pitcher, Dan Kerwin. But this may be gossip, solely.
 Shannon Is a good catcher with dead ly whip and it is said that he will be- have himself better this year than in the past. Hart. the old White Sox receiver, will probably show form this year. for il is said that dissatisfaction caused his bad slump of last season.
 The team has several good stickmen, though no 300 hitters. Persons, Pepe and Daley are fast men. But the remaining members of the team are slow. Mont eomery should finish around the 500 mark this season in case Greminger gets busy working out the kinks in the aggrega- ton, and Thomas and Juul return in good form.
 Montgomery's park is as bad as Bir- mingham's. It's as hard to reach, too, being about two miles from the city. The car service here of course, Is inferior to that in Birmingham. After the games it Is very difficult for a large attendance to walk across the diamond and the out field, get on a badly crowded car, wait until the conductor has finished a pipe or two, and then ride in slow meter several miles before supper time. The fans here are not good fans They raise the dick ems when the team wins, but lose hard In the first game. when it looked as If Ford had the Pretzels surrounded, they rooted for Birmingham and roasted the men of Eddie Greminger But such is baseball after all.

Good Work of Raftis.

Raftis cid the sensational work of the afternoon. In the fourth Rockenfied opered vita double and went to third on Pepe's out. Hart hit a terrific drive to third and Raftis swung 1t with a single hand and doubled Rockenfield, who had started home. In the sixth Greminger opened with double and wormed his way to third. Rockenfield hit a screamer to Raftis and he swung it. Greminger going out a few seconds later in a chase. Both plays were sensational in the extreme, and Raftis got the glad hand from Mont gomery fans
 Lou Bauer will pitch the game for Bir- mingham tomorrow. He was wired to re- port and has arrived. He states that he has kept himself in good conditions, and the Barons their courage renewed, are going after the last game.

NASHVILLE TAKES TWO FROM ATLANTA

Nashville. April A.-Nashville took both games of double-header from Atlanta today. The last one was a shut-out, 9 to o. and was made notable by the splendid work of Perdue.

In the first game Duggan was wild and Atlanta out batted the locals, but played so loosely in the field. seven errors being recorded, that Nashville got the verdict by the margin of one run, to 5.
