Ho7u Southern League
Teams Appear Before
Seasons Clash Begins

Flood. second; Bronkie. third. and Lynch,
shortstop ,Vinson came from Waco in
the Texas league. and during the exhibit
ton affairs has been leading the team
in hitting. He Is left hand batter
and lines them out In slashing style.
He is not a finished man at the bag as
yet. but has been doing satisfactory
work In the field also and Is expected to
prove a dependable man. Tom Flood, at
second will act as the balance wheel
and fount of ginger for the surrounding
youngsters. His ability as a field general
is we'll known, as he is an aggressive
and heady player. He was with Little
Rock the greater part of last season.
Bronkie. at third, promises to be big
Improvement over Noyes, whose weak
play at third last year. in the eyes of the
local fans lost the pennant for the Vol
unteers. He comes from Waterbury of
the Connecticut State league, in which
organization he batted over 800 and led
the third basemen.
At short a competent successor to VIII
lis Butler is thought to be had in Mike
Lynch, for the past two seasons in the
Tri-States with Reading. He was OBJ
tanned In the Butler deal from Cleveland.
He was a better hitter in that league
than was Butler in this and almost as
good in the field. He has made good
Impression and promises to give good
account of himself in every department
of play.
The outfield will remain the same as
for the past two seasons, Harry Bay In
left, Johnny Seigel in center and the
veteran kid, Doc Wiseman. in right for
his tenth successive year with the local
team and In charge OF the old dump In
right. With Seigel hitting little strong
err this season this trio certainly cannot
be- beaten in the league.
The exhibition season closed here Sat
urday. The Volunteers won but two
games against Connie Mack's Colts and
another against the Boston Red Sox.
Manager Bernhards policy has ever been.
however, not to exert his men in these
affairs and the showing made was on the
whole very creditable especially when 1t
is considered that practice only began
locally with these games.
AS also customary Manager Bernhard
is not predicting anything for his squad.
He is willing to admit. however, that
the outlook appears satisfactory and that
he will have in his opinion team at least
as good as that of last season.
He has placed three men with Green
Vile in the Cotton States Kelly. first
baseman and Pitchers Welt and Anderson
and turned back, Murch to Savannah.
His other surplus youngsters will prob
ably be located for the season in day
or so.

former Pittsburg player. At shortstop
will be found Joe Berger, another Three
Eye League man, and at third Harold
Darringer, also from the Three-Ey

the former, called at the Downes resi-
dence. During family discussion Mrs.
Downes informed her husband that she
was going home to live with her mother,

scheme, Downes begged his wife, for the
sake of their little girl, to remain with
him. but finding his efforts unavailing. he
suddenly grabbed rifle and shot his
mother-in-law In the mouth, killing her
instantly.
Another shot struck his wife In the
neck and she fell dead. Then Downes
placed the muzzle of the weapon at his
forehead and pulled the trigger with in
