The Food We Used to H1v
Back Home.

IONA Gale, writing story called
"The Bridge" in the October Ameri-
can Magazine, presents a broker
named Cassoday dining at his club in
New York. While he dimes, Casso-
day is visited by mental reincarna-
ton of himself called Littlechild.
The story then goes on:
'"What's this?' said Littlechild over
psoup. Screen turtle. But L re-
member the chicken soup we used to
have the day after mother had had a
boiled chicken dinner and dumplings.
WHAT'S that? [ don't know "sole.u
The fish we used to have was baked
browner outside and whittier inside,
with no hot gravy-oh, not like this
at all. What's that? Mother wouldn't
have done any filet tricks. But can
smell the roast beef when she was
thickening the brown gravy just after
she took the pan out of the wood stove
oven-don't you know how we stopped
to sniff with every srmful of wood we
brought in? Endive? / can't place it
you know we used to run out and
pick the lettuce last thing before we
sat down at table-we got it from the
shady part of the patch toward the
well-house. Glace what? Yes, but
don't you remember her apple pud-
dings with cinnamon in the sauce?
Apples off the Seeding that grew by
the corn crib
"Cassoday pushed back his chair.
Wasn't it right sir?" asked the
waiter anxiously.
"'Devilish right, thanks" said
Cassoday.

Anniston, March 2S.-(Special.) )-Tom Fisher, Anniston's auburn-haired man ager, has a hard job-the job of weeding out the recruits now on hand for posi- tions on the Model club this season; and it's a much harder job than was con- fronted by Walter Ford, at the begin ming of last season. for there are no slouches among the recruits now in prac- tice here, and some of the men released will be about as good as some of those who are retained.
 About the only place on the team that is cinched at present Is first base. which Fisher himself will occupy; and some of the recruits, notably Hartley and Eu- banks, have shown such class in per- forming at that station that Fisher may stake one of them there at intervals this season and take the box in the pinches, as the pitcher problem Is now the greatest one confronting the Annis- ton manager.
 Up to the present Schuyler has shown up best at second, although Scotty Car ter has also been very classy around that bag. McDuff and Schuyler may also have to fight it out for short. although

BY JOHN MULLEN League Umpire

The failure of a batsman to run out hit as he should caused what would have been a. very ordinary decision, to de- velop into mighty tough one for me- The game was played at Cleveland late last season, the Boston Red Sox being the opposing team. It was about the fif- teenth consecutive game I had worked in Cleveland. Some close decision had played a prominent part in every game, so the fans were ready for anything when the play above referred to came eff. It happened in the opening inning, so it is very easy to imagine what pleasant afternoon I had. To make things worse. about the fifth inning foul from Bill Carrigan's bat put me down for the count It delighted the fans, many ex- pressing sorrow that I wasn't killed In. stead of only seriously Injured.
 Henricksen, the first man up for Bos- ton, famed. Iris Speaker whiffed at two and then singled solidly to right. Engle hit to center for another safety and Speaker raced to third. Jackson made beautiful throw to Ball, and the play was terribly close, but l ruled Speaker safe. Loud rumblings from the Nap fans Engle went to second on the throw

TOM FISHER HAS HARD JOB

McDuff will probably hold that position Leonard has shown the best form at third, but if Schuyler lands second he will have Carter as an opponent for that job, while Harvie Holt, Borders, Sam Nelsons discovery, and Cecil Mi<wee are yet to show what they have to recom- mend them there.
 There has been no opportunity to get a reliable line on the pitchers, as they have not had any hard work to perform up to the present. It will be hard choice among Hartley, Larry Brown and Karl Eubanks behind the bat. Larry and Hartley would likely win out easily If Eubanks did not have the additional vir- tue of being a good utility man, being able to play first and outfield positions as we'll as catch. He hit above Larry last year also, but will not likely be able to get an edge on Hartley in this respect.
 Wasem Is almost assured of his job In left garden, and if Luttrell hits the ball and fields as well as George Mcbride says he can, he may get one of the garden spots This will leave Sam Nelson, George Braswell, Joe Creighton and F. B. Rowe to fight 1t out for the other place. In the event Nelson fails to make good, he will likely be given chance in the box, for there are many Annistonians who still believe that Smiling Sam has the goods as hurler.

MOLESWORTH'S M BARONS TO PLAY
 NEW YORK GIANTS AT RICKWOOD

The New York National Yannigans will play the Birmingham Barons this afternoon at o'clock at Redwood if the weather is fair. 1he Barons are In splendid shape and it Is probable that they will give the Giant Yannigans an awful hard fight. The Yannigans will arrive this morning.
 The Baron squad arrived late last night from Selma, where they defeated the Selma team. All were in good con- dition and were anxlous to get into the game this afternoon. Mo1esworth did not announce whom ne would pitch, but it is probable that Randall, Kane and Foxen will go against the Giants.
 It seems as if Bill McGilvray will not be able to get into the game as he has bad blister on his heel. Ems is in good shape, however, and will no doubt put up good show at tho initial sack.
 Marcan will play second, while El- lam will cover short, and Carroll third. The outfielders will be Messenger, John- ston and Mcbride, although Molesworth may let Mowrey get out for the game.
 The Giant lineup will be:

 MANY CRACKERS GO VERY SOON

 First Baseman Phelan and Pitcher Walsh reported so late -nat they found men here who were in such grand shape that they did not stand a chance to break in as regulars
 Two men will be optained by the Crackers from the New York Amer jeans next week. Manager Wolverton would not leave the players here when he left Friday, preferring to let them have a weeks work on the road first.
 Pitcher Martin, big right handler, and Infielder Coleman or Simmons are the players that Manager Hemphill Is after particularly and hopes to land before the opening of the season.
 Two of the IS men picked above will have to be turned loose to make room for the two secured from the Yankees, as both are assured or regular berths. Unless Simmons or coleman are so- cured the batting order against the Lookouts in the opening game with Chattanooga will be about as follows: Bailey, left field; O'Dell, right field; Hemphill. center field; Sykes, first base, Alperman, third base; O'Brien, shorL- stop; Jordan, second base; c. Miller. catcher; ". Miller, p.
 Hogue and Dessau look to be the best of the new men, while Johns and Miller stack up as the best of the hold overs from last season. Johns is go ing to have good year and for the simple reason that he will have to pitch.
 The southpaw was late in reporting and signing, though the local mogul did not worry about him in the least. He had asked waivers on him and re- ceived them from all clubs. He tried to sell him to the Central league but no club there wanted him, so it was strictly up to the big southpaw to make good and he has started out the right way.

 Richard M. Marquard was born in Cleve- land.

Whether the future will prove this cor rect or not, it is nevertheless unquestion- ably true that he is now a terror when face to face with very young and very easily excited stickmen
 The Giants catcher is Meyers. His full name is Chief Tortoise Meyers. It Is peculiar name But it doesn't handicap him to any great extent, it is claimed by his closest friends.

in. Luffy Lewis went out, making two down and men on second and third.
 Larry Gardner was up and he hit the first ball pitched down the third base foul line. As 1t shot past third it went over a scant portion of the third sack and was fair by inches l immediately so called the drive and Speaker and Engle tore for the plate at top speed Naturally all the Cleveland fans and players yelled foul in their loudest voices, completely drowning out my decision. Gardner never moved from the plate and 1t wasznot until I had yelled fair a half dozen times that he finally started. Then he just barely beat Jack Graney's throw from deep left field to first. Engle and Speaker both scored on the play. The fact that Card ner failed to run held me up to all kinds of ridcule, as it was stated he knew the ball was foul. Gardner subsequently, scored on a hit by Carrigan, those three runs proving just enough to decide the game against the Maps. Had a voting contest been held that afternoon at the tall park I would have been convicted of any old crime, yet 1 was perfectly correct in my ruling.
