ALABAMA READY TO TWIST
 TAILS OF DETROIT TIGERS

Gulf City, seems to have beaten all of his opponents out and landed on the keystone. Baumgartner is back at his old position at short and is living up to his reputation as one of the fastest in fielders in the business. He is expected to set someone a lively pace for all Southern this year. Vic Heard who was Ineligible last year on account of having played with Washington and Lee university, has stepped in and taken command at third. He is one of the hardest hitters on the team, and Wi be one of the mainstays this season. Me Dowel, who led last years team in hit ting, with an average close on to 400, is back at his post in left field, and GOV ering lots of ground Moody, who played in right last year, has been shifted to center. and Austill will probably fill the vacancy. Alabama's S strongest point this season will be her pitching staff Gresh- am and Greer two of last years stars, arc back in the game and showing excel lent form. When the team goes out to meet the Tigers on Friday they will line up as follows Anderson, catcher Courtney, first base; Groves, second base: Baumgartner shortstop; Heard, third base; Mcdowell, left field: Moody center field; Austll, right field, and Greer or Gresham, pitcher.

 Frank will probably hold his tfam to E men this season, which will be pne short of the playing limit This will enable him to carry five pitchers, two catchers, four infelders, three outfielders and one util- ity player He can carry 20 men until May 1, so there is still plentysof time for him to think of cutting down his squad. What he Is thinking of most right now Is adding one or two, and it is said. negotia- tions between him and Charley Murphy have not been dropped altogether.
 When you drop one man off your team and put better man in his place you've made an improvement. haven't you2' asks Pelican Pilot Frank by way of ridi- cule of the intimations of some scrfbes that his nfield isn't quite the nifty propo- sition that it was last season with Frank Manush in the fold.

 ''Pepe will be so much better than De mont on second that we have a vast irn- provement there. Johnston will be so much better than either Rohe or Barr on first that there's great improvement there What more do you want? Lind say will certainly be as good as he was last, and a whole heap better, I think. And George Rohe? There's not a better ball player in the Southern league.

WILL LAUNCH LEAGUES
 AT THE MEETING TONIGHT

 Never before in the history of the league has such interest been taken. Secretary Cubbon has plenty of grounds in view for the league and the officers are planning strict supervision of every game The lack of official super vision last year of not only the Sunday School league but the City league was injurious.
 An interesting sideline in connection with the meeting tonight will be dem onstration of baseball outfits by the sporting houses of the city. The league will have it's own purchasing depart ment, thereby saving the teams con- siderable money
