FIRST LIBEL SUIT BY
STANDARD OIL co.
Louis D. Brandeis to Defend
Publishers of WelI-KnoWn
Magazine.

Louis d. Brandeis of Boston will
defend Benjamin b. Hampton and
Cleveland Moffett in the $350,O0O
libel suit brought against the pub
Usher of Hampton's magazine by the
Standard Oil company.
The Introduction of Brandeis into
the first libel case ever brought by
the Standard Oil company promises
interesting developments. One of the
reasons that led the oil trust to de-
part from it's customary policy OF
non-interference with writers and
publishers of undertaking articles, it
was learned, was that John ID. Rock
efeller had received hundreds of UNI
pleasant letters since the publication
of Moffetts article, which accused
the Standard Oil company of poison
ing children by putting sulphates into
the glucose used for sweetening
candy.

PITCHING DUEL IN
 FINE PREP. GAME

The Birmingham High school baseball team opened it's season yesterday by de- feating the strong Bessemer High school team at the City League park in Besse- mer by the score of to in a well played and interesting 12-inning contest. The Birmingham team was greatly weakened by the absence of Captain Zielminski at short and Neville at second, both of whom are out of the game temporarily on ac- count of slight attack of measles. This necessitated the shifting about of the en- tire team and the using of some young sters who gave good accounts of them- selves.
 Goldstein undertook to fill Captain Ziel- minskis shoes at shortstop and his work proved to be one of the features of the contest. Matthias was tried out at sec ond and showed that he had the necessary qualities of a good prep school pail player. Denson at third base and E. Propst at first handled themselves in fine style and bid fair to make good.
 Strange was in the box for the Birming- ham boys and pitched excellent ball with a raw team behind him. Waters, who did the twirling for Bessemer, also pitched an excellent game Both teams secured four hits and the pitching duel between these two players was watched with h. terest by a Igood-sized crowd of specta- tors from both schools.
 The Birmingham team drew first blood by scoring a run in the third inning. Matthias, the first man up, was hit, fol lowing which he stole second and scored on an error by Newburger of Bessemer' Matters were evened up in the seventh inning when Bessemer scored a run on a base on balls, stolen base and nit Denson of the Birmingham team pulled his nine out of bad hole in this inning by cutting off a Bessemer runner at the home plate on an attempted squeeze play
 Matters went along smoothly until the twelfth inning, when the Birmingham boys got together and during the time that the Bessemer lads weer enjoying a little aerial ascension, the former scored five runs and cinched the con- test. Bessemer was unable to touc5 Strange in it's half of the twelfth.

BARONS IN NEED OF THREE PLAYERS
 ID FINISH HIGH
BILL NOTES THAT SCRIBES DO NOT THINK WELL OF BAR0NS, POINTS OUT THE NEEDS AND MAKES PREDICTION
Nv HILL, AK

Without a care the Birmingham fans have been looping along in the knowl- edge that the Barons will finish in the first divisions
 But a careful scrutiny of the effu- sions of the scribes about t6e circuit
 can leave no doubt but that Inc wise
 oneso are not giving Birmingham as high rank in their speculations as we have been led to believe that Birming- ham deserves.
 This is due to several facts. The first is that all of the Barons are not on the scene The second is that the scribes of Birmingham have never pre- tended to win a pennant in the spring. Will R. Hamilton in the New Or
 leans Item strikes the most trenchant
 hlow. In sizing up the teams he re- marks that the race for the pennant
 will be between New Orleans and Chat
 tanooga. that the third place in the
 first division. will go to Memphis. and
 that the fourth will be contested for by
 Birmingham and Mobile l He concludes his remarks with these "crool" words:
 | s"As Mobile has better pitch CTS than
 Birmingham, Mobile will be the selec- l ton of the majority of the experts for fourth place."
 This means that many of the writers will award Birmingham a second divi- sion berth.
 At the present writing we believe that the deduction is true. But there is no doubt but that if two additional 1 a and an additional outfelder, who is
 fast, able to cover ground and judge fly
 balls, who is able to steal fair proportion of bases, and hit as hard as .2s0-there is no doubt, l repeat, but that Birmingham will finish in the first division.
 With the addition of the three men referred to Birmingham will have the hardest hitting team in the league and
 the best base running club. It will have five pitchers who can rank with tho best in the league. It's outfield and infield cannot be outpointed in the league, and it will have a couple of the best catchers in the company If the right men are obtained-and here goes-Birmingham will make Chattanooga, or New Orleans, or Mem phis, or any of the others, go at a mighty fancy clip to wrap themselves in the folds of the pennant bunting in the balmy days of next September. Of course, there is always a slip in the calculations. There is absolute ly no doubt but that Owner Woodward | is going to put up the mazurka for | three or more good men. He will go bout his purchases carefully in order | that nothing but good men are ob- I tained. But he might not get as good I as he bargains for.
 | But I make the point again-if three | first rate men are obtained, one an outfelder and the others pitchers-no other club in the league will have anything on Birmingham. In our present condition we will fin- | ish in the second division. But when we enter the big fight beginning April | 15 you won't recognize us if you go to | the park expecting us to look as we
 do today. There's a tip you can gam ble on.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-04-06

The Age-Herald's Chattanooga corre- spondent springs a good one in this issue.
 In addition to all the other factors which will assuredly give Chattanooga the pennant Manager Smith has a prime card to play-and by the playing Of that trump will put the Barons and the Pelicans out of the running. It is difficult to figure just how Gov aleski can inform Smith as to the weaknesses of the Barons. It is equal ly as difficult to imagine how Jim La ftte can likewise embarrass New Or leans.
 As a matter of fact we believe that Covaleski will have trouble enough winning games this season without securing about for additional roles to play. And if Jim Laftte can aid Smith by opening the leaves of his experience he will hardly earn his salary if his arm is as dead as Chattanooga writers have stated it to be-
 If Covaleski knows the weaknesses of the Barons every other pitcher in the league knows them. As matter of fact every other one knows them better than Covaleski. For Coyaleski ahas never faced the Barons. He was face to face with Bob Messenger one afternoon, but he did not have ball in his hand and Bob required no bat with which to trounce the big Pole for hs, unfair deductions and impudence. Since we have got on the subject Of ! Covaleski, it is perhaps not out of or der to state the opinion that he will have great difficulty this season in finishing with percentage of .500. And 1t is unnecessary to state our belief that he has everythng-speed, wonderful speed, curves galore, and better control than the average writer of the country believes.
 And we are mindful of the fact that he went finely last season. But even as he went finely Birmingham fans nursed dreadful fear that at any mo pent he might explode and go to pieces. Carefully handled last season, l Covaleski fared well. He was made 1 to believe that he was the greatest man who ever lived. The ether members l of the Baron team permitted him to i domineer, because they wanted to get ] cut of him all that he had-for the good of the team.

CRACKERS HOPE
 TO LAND GRIFFIN

Atlanta. April 5.-The possibility of the Crackers securing Texas Griffin, the big right-hander from the Cubs, is no longer a mere possibility, but is be- ginning to assume an aspect of being certainty.
 President Charles Webb Murphy, in a letter to President Heisman of the local club writes that he believes that he will be able to get the necessary waivers on the big right -hander and will take action when they are se- cured
 Murphy states that he is leaving the matter up to Frank Chance entirely, and until the peerless leader returns from the training trip nothing definite can be done regarding Griffin.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-04-06
POINTERS TO RANDOM

Southern league "went after" the big Pole. Otto Jordan was the only lead CT who really fought him on the coach ing line. And how many games did Covaleski win against Atlanta? One. He lost one.
 In the seventh inning of the one he lost Jordan got busy. Up to that time Atlanta had got two hits. When the game was concluded Atlanta had enough scores to overcome Birming hams former lead of two runs, and the bases were still full.
 He would have lost the game he won, too, but for the fact that the Barons piled up a total of eight runs.
 Now, suppose every manager in the league makes use of Jordan's tactics.
 Suppose the leaders instruct their players to wait them out'-that is, take two strikes before swinging; or, in case to counteract this, Covaleski begins shooting them over right off the reel to step in and smash the first ball.
 What will become of Covaleski? It remains to be seen.
 The big Pole is no: smart. On the other hand he Is ignorant.
 And we contend that, as general proposition, a man with the marvel lous ability of Covaleski who fails to make good in the big show Is so vital ly handicapped on account of lack of moral courage that he cannot have a permanent victorious career in this oI any other league, the leaders of which are intelligent, H.
