ed for, already has begun in the southern tier of the northeastern states. The schedules of eastern colleges call for about 800 games between now and the latter part of June. Yale has eight men of last years nine left, including an experienced and well-balanced pitching staff, with plenty of new material. The Harvard leftovers are only six, and among the losses is Pitcher Hicks. whose work of last year will be hard to equal.
 Princeton is admittedly in serious dit f1culties. Five of last years players have graduated, and the leading pitcher, s. V. White, is suffering with so severe wrench of his throwing arm and shoul- der that he will not play in any of the early games.
 An unusual number of tours is planned by college teams this year. All records in this line will be broken by Michigan by an invasion of both the south and the east. The Wolverines will travel more than 20O0 miles. touring Kentucky, Ten nessee and Ohio and visiting Princeton. Syracuse and Brown. So far this is the only series of games in which the east will meet any western or middle states colleges.

As a result of the hare-up, Stallings was relieved of the managerial duties and they were put on the shoulders of Hal Chase, the king pin first baseman of the world
 Since the close of last season, however. Chase has traded a couple of veteran inielders, Austin and Laporte, and his plan to fill in the gaps with Johnson and Elliot, two splendid minor leasuers of little major experience, has the fans of Gotham on the anxious bench. If Chase gets away with the stunt, he will have achieved marvels. If he fails well, the blame is his.
 Chase will play first himself. of course, and it is not believed that the troubles of the manager will affect his individual work. Knight will be used at second, and

Next Tuesday will witness the start of the 1911 season of professional baseball games, and before the diamonds are aban- doned next fall nearly 10000 regular league contests will have been played The Pacific Coast league is the first to begin play and the last to close. In the 15 days now intervening before the open ing, all bn April 12. two small leagues the Cotton States and South Atlantic or ganizations-will swing into action April 6 and April 1o, respectively. In quick succession after the inauguration of the big league races April 12 the Southern, Eastern and Western leagues open, with the Central league, among the last of the biggest sectional leagues to get in mo- tion, April 26. The Ohio and Connecticut State leagues start April 20 and 21, respec- lively, and the New York State and New England leagues April "A.
 The Michigan State league does not begin play until May 9. and is the last of recognized leagues to open. By that time there will be at least 30 professional leagues in the field, with schedules call ing for from POO to 600 games each. The collegiate season, less regularly account

he is good at any position. It Is said that the success of the Yankees last season was due as much to the ability of Knight to play in any position as to the excellent f1inging of Russell Ford. Other infelders on the team are Gardner and Roach of last season, and I4itschi, the leading shortstop of the Tri-State league last season.
 Chase has a good outfielder, though the critics do not admit that it is excep- tonally classy. Wolter, Hartzell, Cree and Daniels are the regulars on the job, though many believe that the veteran Humphreys will land a berth.
 The strength of the Highlanders is in the pitchers and catchers. In Sweeney, the old Southern leaguer. and Blair, a graduate of the Eastern league, Chase has two first rate men. Ford. another old Southern leaguer, was the star pitch CT last season, and many expect this to be his best year Vaughan Is a good man and Quinn Is another.
 One of the pitchers, Harry Ables, the big southpaw Texan, was formerly a Baron. He recently acquired notorety by expressing a willingness to fight Jack Johnson for the championship.

POINTERS TO RANDOM

You are generally fair and frank, and, inasmuch as all the fans know that you are not fooled, We marvel that you do not state the case clearly-that the Barons are exceedingly weak
 This is an excerpt from an anonymous letter which reached the sporting editor of The Age-Herald yesterday.
 Continuing, the writer admonishes us against delay in speaking out, declaring that we delayed last spring until Bir- mingham had reached the bottom.
 All of which is interestWg enough. in more than one particular. tBut the writer has forgotten that The AEe=Herald has repeatedly said that with the team as at present, Birmingham could not hope to finish out of the second division. And The Age-Herald has said, too, that when two other good pitchers and another hard hitting outfielder is obtained the Barons' chances of finishing in the first division are good
 The writer finds fault, no doubt, be-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-03-29

cause we do not think 1t wise continually to refer to a weakness which everyone knows exists. We think it wise not to make these references every day because we know that strings are out for more players and know that they will be obtained. We might go further and say that we would be as uneasy as the let ter writer but for our belief that it is not healthful to body and mind to worry especially when we firmly believe that the Barons, when ready for battle, will present strong front--and that they will eventually close the season In the first division
 The writer declares that we delayed in pointing out the weaknesses of the Baron team last spring. We did. Typhoid fever had us by the neck, and our first gun was fired only after the first game was played. And, having established this alibi, we hasten to make the declaration that we are too lazy to write any more today. H. w. R.

Farms. Factory and Fair Grounds
VIII Not Be Asked to Come In

The important topic for discussion a,
the council meeting last Friday evening
was Upon the proposed extension Of the
city limits.
I, appeared to be the universal opinion
that the original plan to- square up the
boundaries. as introduced at the previous
meeting and published in the Enterprise
two weeks ago. was too far-reaehing in
its scope. taking in the fair grounds. the
factory grounds and several FIVE and ten
acre tracts. and 1t was decided to leave
the northern and eastern boundaries as
they are.
Under these notifications the city at
torney was instructed to prepare an or
dinance. which was presented and passed
first reading at an adjourned meeting Of
the city council held last evening.

for costumes the beautiful Mareella Ham

every chord of emotion with her perfect
art, will display some gowns that will open
the eyes of the fair sex and give them
something to discuss for many day.
Each and everyone is a Par1s creation
and their values run into big money. The
first dress is beautiful grey chiffon. en-
broidered with cut steel and fringed half
yard deep all around the train. The
second is Paquin gown nf black velvet
in the Empire style and also made over
chiffon and trimmed with steel. The third
is Hallett creation Of Nile green chiffon
covered with Irish crochet and heavily
embroidered with opals. em,ralds and
