University, March 2a-(special)-, The walloping of varsity at the hands of the Detroit Tigers has passed into history and the college season begins here Thursday with Birmingham col lege. The outcome of the Detroit game. however, did not dishearten the Ala bamians in the least and they will go into the game with Birmingham col lege just that much stronger for the experience The Methodists will no doubt try to revenge themselves on the Crimson for the drubbing they re- ceived last year in football and some very close games are expected.
 Coach Lowman is patching the weak places in his team that were brought to light by the encounter with Detroit Grove, who played second base in that game, did not show as well as was ex-

GEORGE STONE IS
 OFFERED TO FRANK

New Orleans, March 29.-(Special.)- Manager Frank has a chance to buy George Stone, the St. Louis outfielder who few years ago led the American league in batting. The local manager has just learned that Stone has been placed on the market by the Browns.
 The St. Louis club has evidently se- cured waivers on Stone and is now in position to sell him to the minor league club which makes the highest bid
 The passing of Stone from the major leagues will not be a big surprise, as he has been out of the limelight for sev- eral years Though he always has been a good hitter it is said he has lost his throwing arm. It is for this reason that Manager Frank has not made an offer for him.

Jackson, Miss, March 29.-(Special) Minneapolis, of the American league, was given all it wanted by Jackson, of the Cotton States league. today, the score being to in favor of the vis itors. It was one of the snappiest games ever seen here. For the first time in his life, perhaps, "Rube" Wad- delfs opponent on the firing line was also named "Rube"-"Rube" Peters and he kept the Minneapolis bunch guessing as the small number of hits will show.

organization, should endeavor to straight en things out in Atlanta. With Atlanta in the background on account of inter- nal dissention, it will tax Birmingham, New Orleans and Memphis to the limit to keep the organizations head above the water.
 Something should be done. If no one else will act the stockholders of the club should do so. It is time.
 The Barons played finely against the New York Giants and but for the break in the luck in favor of the visitors, would have defeated them.
 Yesterday they did not play so well against the IIighlanders There was an apparent lstlessness. But in spite of all, the Barons are holding their own against the major leaguers. Bill Bernhard says if his team hits the ball in the practice games. he will be satisfied, because the remainder will eventually come. Well, the Barons have hit the ball pretty well, if nothing more.
 Howard and Vanderbilt will play three games on Redwood field today, tomor- row and Saturday.
 The Age-Herald urges the fans to at tend these games. Good sport is prom ised and those who attend will mater islly aid Howard college in getting on it's feet in southern college athletics.
 Young Pruitt will pitch the opening game for Howard today, and he should make the Commodores go some" to win.
 It is hoped that the Barons will get their team together before the opening of the season. bad start does not al ways forecast a good ending. This from Bobo. H. w. R.

Things seem to be going on pretty badly over in Atlanta.
 First. the Atlanta Journal hangs Pres ident J. W. Heisman and quarters him.
 Secondly. the Atlanta Georgian, declar- ing that the fans of Atlanta are running a promising third baseman by their , knocking urges the management to ex- clude fans from a certain vantage ground.
 Thirdly as an explanation for the crit tcism of the Chicago Cubs and the base ball writers with the Cubs. the Atlanta Journal states that the players and scribes were compelled to pay their way into the park, and then criticizes the management for same.
 Fourthly. all teams which have played in Atlanta this season state that the Crackers are exceptionally weak
 Fifth. the Crackers are reporting slow ly and neither of the papers will tell just what the trouble was and is, and how certain portions of the trouble were wiped out.
 One on the outside judges that the fans are growing because the team, to all appearances, is weak and the At lanta Journal is growing because Heis- man is president of the club, and sees fit to charge ball players and baseball scribes an admission fee to participate Ill and to report baseball games.
 The changes are that the gnitude Of the trouble is greatly exaggerated. But at the same time, it is a lamenta be fact that any trouble exists Normally, Atlanta is one of the best baseball cities Of the circuit. With peace and a good team in Atlanta, no other city will draw better average attendance. The other clubs of the league, for the good of the
