PORTRAIT DRAWINGS
SHOW MUCH AMBITION

IN HE Portraits were great sue
cess. Each of the young artists
Il seemed to find some member or
the family the outline of whose fea-
lures or figure could be transferred TO
paper, and the group of sketches re-
ceived are most interesting.
This portrait work is something
which may prove most valuable to all
the Juniors and there will be frequent
topics along these lines.
Some of the boys and girls are III
tie careless about getting their pictures
in to the office in time. and of course
those lose their opportunity of winning
prizes. There is one other fault with
a great many of the pictures, that Is
the placing of letters on the picture.
This is quite unnecessary unless the
nature of the picture demands 1t. or
course in the design for this weeks
work [ want the words. Junior Roll or
Honor" worked into the picture.
Among the excellent portraits re-
ceived is the one submitted by Beulah
HolloWell. This young artist brought
her little model into the office that
Aunt Laurie might have an opportu-
nifty of observing the resemblance, ana
the picture is really a striking likeness.
There is nothing particularly aftlstlc
about the posing of the subject, now
ever, and in this Beulah might well
take some lessons from some of the
other Junior artists.
The picture of the dog, by Charles r.
Coiner of Santa Barbara, shows an in
genious application of the subject, and
this picture would have been strong
competitor for first prize but for the
lettering on it's face, which detracts de-
cidedly from its value.
Among other ambitious artists whose
work this week was particularly GOOD

CATCHER METZ
 BREAKS KNEE GAP

Columbus, Miss, April 9O.-(Speoial.)- Catcher Metz of the University of Nash vile team fell to the cement pave ment near the Hotel Stone this after noon and broke his knee cap. With sev- eral of his teammates he was running from the street car to the hotel to avoid a bad shower and he slipped on the wet pavement. He was carried to the hos pital, where the injuries were pronounced serious
 Pitcher Funk of the Tennesseans was called home by wire and left for Illinois this afternoon The loss of these two players badly cripples Nashville on it's present long trip.
 Rain prevented the afternoon game be- tween Agricultural and Mechanical col lege, Starkvile Miss, and University of Nashville, but the former won the morn ing game. Not a base on balls was given and the fielding was of sensational order. Clay's catch of a drive to deep center was beauty. It looked like the Missis- sippians would score shut-out, but in the ninth inning the Tennesseans came strong and almost succeeded in tying the score. Score by innings R.H. E. A and M.

COFFROTH BOOKS
 MANY BIG FIGHTS

Chicago, April 30.-James Coffroth now has an array of boxing bouts carded for his club at Colma, Cal, involving every champion in the country. No sooner had word been flashed to Manager Harry Gil- more, Jr., that Bathing Nelson would not call off his bout with Packey McFar- land than friends of Abe Attel in this city received word that the western pro- moter had also secured the featherweight champions services. Attell is to meet some man, preferably Owen Moran, in a 45-round bout at Colma some time the coming summer. Johnny Coulton, the bantamweight champion, will start for the coast May 15. Monte Attell has agreed to the 115-pound ringside limit.
 Jack Johnson has some theatrical en- agreements to fill before he takes up train ing for his bout with Ketchell. Even if Ketchell still claims the middleweight ti- tie he will find himself disputed by Hugo Kelly. who will start for the coast shortly.

 That's all there is to it. It's to be de- plored, but 1t can't be helped. Larsen will go to third this afternoon. In the emergency the association is fortunate In rhaving as good-a man as Larsen to fall back on. He can't deliver the goods that Bill dished up, but he can field pretty well.
 Raftis impressed the fans of the south who saw him as no other third baseman has done in recent years. He is the best fielding third baseman in the league to- day and his hitting is about 400
 And that noodle of his? It was a pippin. He never did the wrong thing at the proper time, nor the right thing at the wrong time.

Hard Blow For Birmingham Team


He knew the game from beginning to end, and it was probable that he would develop into the infield sensation of the league.
 As stated, Morris has disappeared. He was slated to play short for the Barons. He led the Sally" circuit last season in fielding short and second and managed Savannah. At the close of the South Att lantic season he went to St. Louis and played short p games.
 He has probably jumped to the outlaws after signing his contract and gaining valuable time by claiming to be desper- ately i'll.
 Enough hard luck here to make Charlie Babbs look like q sick kitten. Moles- worth wouldn't have swapped Raftis for Babb's entire outfit.

Here's the Situation.

Manager Molesworth in the be- ginning planned to have Walter Morris at short and Bill Raftis at , third If these two were members of the team today, two other first rate tW1rlers would put Birming ham in the running, with guar anteed first division berth staring it in the face. It is not the associa tion's fault that Morris has played them false. It is not the associations fault that Bill Raftis Is lost. Molesworth could no more fore see what has occurred than he knows what will happen next month. It Is hard luck-all the way round.
 But while the people sympa- thfze, they cannot be content with a hard luck story The association must patch up, or all is lost and must do 1t right off the reel Several infelders and a pitcher or two are needed.
