Memphis Tenn, Mar. 27.--(Special) With that dissenting element which figured in the preliminary proceedings a year ago. missing from the ranks Of the Memphii nowadays. with their first victory over a a/major league squad since Charley Babb took charge here and with few aches or pains among twenty-one candidates assembled Tor rehearsals everything may be regard. ed as lovely and serene In tne iocai camp right now to listen to President Coleman. Manager Babb. the critical early-season fans and most concerned.
 Last season the gifted Jack Fox slugger from either side or the plate. outiielder par excellent and 8raceiui Memphii. He was dissatisfied and wanted to return north. The Mem phians valued his services highly how. eyer and t sn ehissd Smss thas his daily practice and in the exhibition games he performed fashily enough to cause the officials to hold on to him. unGnf Ts et of was o the ne snrs team, dissension appeared: the Stock dale scandal followed. several players were reported on the verge of jumping and finally the officials concluded to take the advice of a veteran fan who had long ago seen the folly of trying to force a player to stay where he was naturally displeased with climate and environment. So Fox was released, ths team braced down but the inside strife which the dissatisfied player waa charged with starting did not disaps pear till late in the summer when otn. CT teams had forged ahead.
 This year however there Is polly laugh, that has proved as contagiou1 as any old malady in a hospital ward and public and players seem bent on
 There are five outfielders who Shave pleased so far to such an extent that neither experts nor casual observera care to forecast the final three for reg er ohio- io-Pennsylvanian; Baerwald. of last years lineup; Guy Woodrun. Of East Liverpool. Ohio, George Stinson leader of the Virginia league hiters from the ThreeI League who hits as hard and ss often, they say. as anyone of the quintet ts..
 selection of the same four that finish. ed in 1908. Carey at first Cranston at second. Lindsay at short and Babb at third will be the lineup unless all the smart set on hand at the rehears- als in private and at the exhibitions in public miss their guess.
 Rudy Schwenck will hardly be amona those in at the getaway All Memphis simple reason that ha was loyal to the local cause last season when he was i'll but in addition he was one of the successful slabmen andfor that reas-' un a great effort will be made to get him to change his mind which seems to have been made up at present<for worK in a Kentucky Sistiliery rather than to work in the Southern Diamond fields.
 Of last years slaobers Charley Shields. 6 native son. Ed Keiber pur- chased from Savannah and Otto Willis, an a perimental hand from the Caro- lima league are back with new addi- tions in Walter Queisser, from Jop- lin. in the Western Association, Jack Emerson from Reading In the Tri- State League, Dick from Wichita, Vest ern Association and KillingswoFth from Albany in the New York State League Quefsser. Emerson, Dick and others have each accomplished some good turn that makes them look good. 0ueisser performed thee innings against Boston's Americans and re- tired his guests in prompt order with. out hit. run. pass, wild pitch or bat tery blunder of any description.
 The backstop problem, somewhat confused by the act of the Chicago White Sox in drafting Frank Owensssis quite unsettled but with good prospects for Owens successor to come from OIeary, last years second catcher: Bill Ludwig purchased from St. Louis Nationals, Walter Schmidt, hustling lightweight and brother of Charley Sch midt. who catches for Detroit and Oailev a Pennsylvanta find.
