BOWLING LEAGUE
 AT ATHLETIC CLUB

The Athletic club bowling league was organized last night with six clubs, answering to the names, Tigers, Giants, Maps, Pirates, White Sox and Cubs.
 A schedule is being formulated. The re- suit of the games will be preserved, d prize awarded to the team which has the largest percentage of victories to it's credit.
 The Pirates and the Maps opened the season last night and the former captured three straight games. Neither team did very effective work, but the bowling was fairly good considering the fact that the game was the first of the season. Con siderable interest is being shown in bowl ing at the club and it is a safe predic- tion that the season will be a very suc- cessful one.
 T. A. Turnipseed made high average last night, ITO while Jesse Shearer and Sam Sturgeon divided honors of high score, 1S0.
 The score follows:

Chattanooga, January 12.-(Special.)-lt is announced that Chattanooga's new baseball park will be ready for occupancy by April IS, the date for the opening of the championship season, and it is quite probable that all will be completed before that date.
 The clubhouse and bleachers are now half completed, the diamond has been .'turtled" and is now ready for sod, the outfield has been sown in grass and the concrete foundations for the grandstand have been started. All depends upon the progress in the erection of the grandstand and as the contractors are to pay $15 for each day after March 1t is not completed it Is believed that the park will be ready in plenty of time.
 The seating capacity of the Hew park is exactly 720o, and there is room for about 4000 persons to stand around the side lines and in the outfleld. The grandstand

CLASS FOOTBALL AT UNIVERSITY Each Class Has a Varsity
 Coach TESTING RULE CHANGES pr. PolIard's Suggestions Will Be Tried-To Have Grass Baseball
 Diamond Instead of Old
 "Skinn Dish.

University January 12.-(Special.)-The class football season, which extends from the opening of the second term until about tie middle of February, Is now well under way and there indications that the present season will furnish some fine sport and in addition develop some nrst-class material for next seasons var sity. In the various squads there are 50 or 70 men every afternoon working out under the supervision of their coaches who are for the most part members of last falls varsity. During the remaind- CT of this month the four teams will be drilled into shape for the championship contests which will be played probably in early February
 The seniors are managed by Clarence Going and coached by Pap Gresham, captain-elect of next years varsity. The juniors, remembering their defeat of last year, have enlisted a heavy coaching force consisting of Countess, head coach, and Wilkinson and Jones. assistants. T. l.. Griffiths is the manager. The sopho- mores, who under Derrill Pratts coach ing last year tied for the championship of the college. are under the same direc- ton this season, and from the appear ance of their squad will again make strong bid for highest honors R. E. Gosa is their manager. The freshmen, man. aged by R. F. Senn, are being taught by Palmer and Austill. They have some likely looking material and should put up a good fight.
 A feature of the inter-class football games will be the trying out of several changes in the rules suggested by Dr. Pollard for avoiding serious injury to the players. The principal notifications are the requiring of seven men on the line of offense in their regular positions rela- tive to the center; the elimination of tandem formations and the like in the back field, and the removing of the pen atty for an incompleted forward pass, the ball to be returned on such play to the point from which 1t was passed and to remain in the possession of the side attempting the pass, the play to count simply as a down. The results of these changes are being looked for ward to with great deal of interest here by those who follow the game.
 Though the gridiron is still the cen ter of attraction. interest In baseball is beginning to rise. The principal evil dence of this is the change that is be- ing made in the diamond for the coming season. The improvements being made consist of raising the infield about a foot above It's old level and sodding 1t with Bermuda grass. In the past Alabama has had ''skin'' diamond which was lower by several inches than the sur- rounding territory. As a consequence, when rain fell the field could not be used for day Or two. With the changes now being made. however, all this will be thing of the past. With the new level established the water which falls will run off and a few hours of sun will dry of the grass and put the paths in perfect condition.

THREE TWIRLERS
 FROM NASHVILLE

Nashville. January 12.-(Special. J. Three promising young local baseball players, all pitchers and all products of the local city league, will get try-outs in fast company the coming season. These are Henry Sheets. who pitched phenom- enal ball for the Knights of Columbus last summer and the previous season; William McTigue, who worked from the local organization to the Athens, Ala, independents, where he twirled great ball last summer, and Toney, who made his professional debut last season with Win chester, Ky, winners of the champion ship in the Blue Grass league. These youngsters, none of whom is more than aO will get try-outs respectively with Bill Smiths Buffalo team in the East ern league with Molesworth's Birming- ham squad in the Southern, and if Man ager Bernhard can get matters straight ened out the last will be found in a local uniform Sheets was offered try-out by Manager Johnny Dobbs last season.
 McTigue and Toney are right-handers while Smiths recruit is southpaw. All three are winterinG at home and VIII report for duty when their respective man. agers call The complication with re- gard to Nashville's claims on Toney is that Winchester claims to have a con- tract with him which he denies. Sheets pitched four one-hit games in the City league last season, while Toney pitched one of the greatest games of the year, holding Lexington, Ky. to no hits and no runs in r innings of play, besides striking out l9 men. Sheets is the son of Billy Sheets, well known theatrical man. manager of the leading local play house, while McTigue's father Is prom inent in local politics, being at present a member of the city council. Toney Is from Paradise Ridge where his peo- pie are prominent members of Swiss fruit growing colony.

Atlanta Has ZHe Midget
 OutjIeld .0f 2Fe League

Atlanta. January 12.-(Specia1.) )-There has been a lot of talk, loose and other wise, about the new men Atlanta has corralled for next year, but in all the whirl of words there has been nothing worth saying uncorked about Seitz, the outfielder Atlanta will buy from the Philadelphia Americans, the club that drafted him from Norfolk, in the Virginia league.
 Now here is all Seitz did last year:
 Led the league in batting.
 Led the league in the number of hits made.
 Led the league in the number of runs scored.
 Led the league in total bases.
 Tied for fifth place in number of sacri- hce hits.

club last year. wrote President Heis- man. This boy is one of the greatest centerfelders in America. His work last year entities him to a trial in the big leagues. I will gladly give you back the money you paid for him.
 President Bradley of the Richmond club was asked recently by President Heis- man who he considered the best player in the Virginia league. He did not know then that Atlanta had Seitz, but he picked that man without seconds thougyk as the star of the league.
 With this man pretty sure of lalAing and with DeHaven a strong candidate and with Bayless sure of job. Atlanta will doubtless have the smallest living outfield this year. DeHaven, who comes from Terre Haute, is about as big as a pint of older and will make a star running mate for the other two pee-wees.
 This DeHaven, by the way, classes right with the other two in ability as well. He batted some .33e last year, fielded 99O. stole 35 bases and scored 66 runs.
