POINTERS TO RANDOM

this season The fifth will be the wisest
 of them all-Bill Bernhard himself
 In the box New Orleans is so strong that the Pelicans are certain to be in the
 running this season. As long as old
 Breitenstein can kick, he can pitch good hall-grand ball, we might have said. There follows Hess the sidewheeler, who led the league last season. Paige is again on the staff, and Paige was the best right handler in the league last season. Klawit ter, obtained from Memphis, is a good man, and Mexwell was never a slouch.
 Montgomery has three fingers who have recently been acquired, and each is first rate man. Frank Sparks is one of these, and the fans are aware of the worth of Sparks. Ralph Savidge, who was with Memphis some years ago. is to wear a Climber uniform this season, and he is strong all the time. The third of the list is Bill Lelivelt, who with Mobile some seasons ago appeared to be the most promising youngster brought out In recent years. In addition to these. Montgomery has Thomas, Duggleby and Hickman, each an acceptable man.
 These are the best fiinging staffs in the league at the present time. Mobiles staff should rank fifth when one considers the worth of Manuel, Chappelle and Billy Campbell. Atlanta has Tom Fisher and Harold Johns as mainstays. Mayer looks promising, and there are numerous green recruits who, according to the Atlanta papers, look well. Nashville has "Wingo'' Anderson, southpaw released by Cincinnati; Viebahn, and Keupper
 Birmingham, at the preesnt time, has Fleharty and Wagner for certainties. Perdue may come later. Sexton, Trough, Gilroy, Chenault, and all the remainder look strong. But it is a safe prediction that before the season opens, Woodward will have gathered a star finger or two from the major circles.
 Lefthanders are going to cut much ice in the Southern league this season. There are at least ten sidewheelers in the con- pany, and about eight of that number are good fingers, Among the south paws are Hess and Breitenstein, with New Orleans, Covalesh and Benton with Johns and Mayer with At lanta, Anderson and Keupper with Nash | vile, Fritz with Memphis, and Campbell with Mobile.

Detroit Tigers Tackle Barons Today
BILL ON MANY SUBJECTS

"The sporting scribes from Philadel. phia who are with the Quaker team all united in saying that Montgomery had the heaviest hitting bunch they have seen for years in a minor league In comparison with the Barons, they said, the Billikens outclassed the Bir- mingham team easily at the bat."- Montgomery Journal.
 It Is all off, boys Our hopes are blast ed. Those Philadelphia scribes have given us away.
 Hard luck. We were trying to fool the other clubs of the league. But murder will out. We might as well confess now that we haven't a man who can hit as hard as .25O.
 Of course, last season, we had some hitters. We led the league with the stick. But last year is not this year. Of course. of the four men who hit we still have three, and the place of the fourth we have gathered in new recruit who can sting em some him. self. But never mind. The cat is out of the bag.
 Seriously speaking, We hope Mont gomery will hit harder than Birming- ham this season. We hope to live long enough to see Montgomery win a pen nant. We would like to live a thous- and years longer. We would be well rewarded for long and honest service should the Sleepers, on some sultry September afternoon, give to the breezes a championship banner.
 The league will be much better league with Montgomery on top than with Montgomery on the bottom
 So we hope Montgomery has hitters this season, and pitchers. and catch CTS, and bat boys enough to finish a nose or two in advance of the Barons
 However We seriously doubt that Montgomery will win the pennant this season. And we doubt that Montgom

DETROIT TIGERS REACH THE CITY

The Detroit Tigers will be in Birming- ham this afternoon.
 The Barons will meet them at Redwood Field fin a game which will begin at 3 o'clock.
 It is unnecessary to state that the De torit club is one of the foremost of the major leagues. Detroit has won three pennants in a row, though each time the championship of the world was lost in the run-off, twice to the Chicago Cubs, and again to the Pittsburg Pirates.
 Along with the Tigers comes Tyrus Cobb, the Georgia boy who has establish ed the reputation of being one of the greatest players the game has ever known. There are other diamond celeb rites equally as well known
 Manager Jennings is one of the oldest baseball figures in the country. When he was an active player he established a reputation as the best shortstop of his time It is said that few of the wonders with him in his prime.
 Jennings is famous not only for his old ability to play the game, nor for his abil- ty to manage major league clubs. He is also famous for his ability to coach his team during a game, or as the boys say, Ito root.' The cut on this page shows Jennings in one of his "rooting" atti- tudes
 The game this afternoon will hardly be ar excellent one from a critical stand point. But 1t will be an exhibition of hit ting and running, and there will be some thing worth while in watching Cobb run the bases and the other Tigers perform their stunts.

FAILS
 TO GET GRIFFIN

Atlanta, March 24-(Special)-The hopes of the Crackers of getting Pitcher Texas Griffin for the Atlanta team this season were blasted when Manager Frank Chance announced that he would keep the twirler as he looks mighty promis- ing.
 But there is still another reason why the Cubs will not turn the pitcher over to Atlanta, as they promised in the event that they did not want to keep him, and that is because the Brooklyn and St. Louis teams have refused to waive on him.
 Griffin, with the remarkable improve ment that he has shown this spring, will eventually develop into star of the first water, and. like all young phenoms, Chance is not taking the chance of him turning into wonder over night. as some of them do.

WHO IS EDWARD
 TRAVIS HOYT?!

Atlanta, March 24-Edward Travis Hoyt has been appointed assistant to the pres ident of the Central of Georgia railroad and is right hand man of President Mark ham of the Illinois Central railroad. This announcement was made for the first time by MT. Hoyt himself when he ap- peared in Atlanta several days ago un- heralded by any formal announcement. MT. Hoyt at once busted himself select ing office and home locations and then disappeared.
 Information received today from the Illinois Central offices in Chicago is to the effect that nothing is known of Hoyts alleged appointment" and lead ing members of the railroad colony who had been planning entertainment for MT Hoyt are mystified
 Captain James w. English, president of the Fourth National bank and di- rector of the Central of Georgia road. stated today that he had not seen MT. Hoyt and had never heard of him k.
 It was not. until he had leased suite of offices in a downtown building and talked with real estate men about the prospective purchase of handsome resi- dence that MT. Hoyt's entitlements be- came known. Then it was learned also that he had visited tailoring estab- lishment, ordered new. clothes and open ed an account at another place where he purchased new shoes.
 The news that MT. Hoyts three daugh- ters and three automobiles had been started from Chicago for Atlanta also aroused much speculation as to the iden- tity of the new railroad official.
 While here MT. Hoyt was introduced to J. c. Oglesby, a local director in the Central of Georgia road and he invited MT. Oglesby to attend dinner he pro- posed giving to President Markham next Thursday night.

cry will outhit the Barons in the sea sons race
 We are going to have some mighty interesting baseball all around us this season. The new Southeastern league will be corker. one of the best Of the little leagues in the country. And five of the six clubs which will have membership are Alabama bred and born.
 The five cities are among the best of the state-Selma. Gadsden, Decatur, Anniston and Huntsville. The sixth is also good town. Rome, Ga.
 Sometimes during the season the shoe is going to pinch in one or more of these little cities The pinching will occur in that city or cities which have losing teams.
 When the shoe pinches. however, there Is only one thing to be done bear 1t until better conditions can be brought about
 Stick to it all the time. Never give up. If money is needed. the fans should get together and raise it. Don't let the league start and go broke"
 Adopt constitution. Have a player limit and salary limit. And live up to both.
 The man who violates limit might get away with it. But he will hurt the league No company. however small it's members may be, will fail to break even in financial way if a conserva- tive constitution is adonted-apd lived up to
 There Is no reason why the little league shouldn't make good with rush. The cities are populous and the inh habitants lovers of clean sport And as far as known, the people of each city are game enough to buckle down and work when troubles get thick.
 If we make no mistake in this SUD- position the Southeastern will make name for itself this season. B. A.
