HICKMAN LETS TWO GO BEFORE
 FIRST GAME WITH HUNTSVILLE

It is probable that Hickman will sell Hoffman. He was released, however. He is veteran and is good steady player. It is thought that he will be placed before Monday with another club. He may go to the Appalachian league, while there is a possibility that he may go to the K. I. T. league. Hoffman is still a good ball player but did not show up as well as the young ster Ramage.
 It was decided last night that the Bes- senner club would have the following line up against Art Riggs Huntsville team here Monday:
 Bumgardner, second base.
 Heck, third base.
 Reagan, shortstop.
 Cochran, center field.
 Johnston, left field.
 Ramage, first base.
 Barr, right field.
 Farrow, catcher.
 Baker or Fancher, pitcher.

BARONS LOSE ONE AND WIN OTHER FROM BILLIKENS
SOME IMPRESSIONS OF THI TEAM AS FORMED AS RESULT OF THE MONTGOMERY SERIES HITTING IS LIGHT
By HUGH w. RonERTs

We nave seen the Barons play. ThII fans are expressing their opinions. II is yet too early.
 At the present time, however. the faeI is demonstrated that the pitching atad will have to be upholstered. It seems tha two other tried pitchers are essential Il the success of the clan of Moleswortil There is a probability that B. Trough will return. It is possible, too, that were thl proper efforts made. Kent could be rel covered.
 If Manager Molesworth brings Proug1 and Kent back to, Birmingham, it is ouI opinion that we will stand an excellent chance of winning the pennant
 What is the matter with Covaleski2
 At any rate, our standing is no lowe1 than that of Atlanta and New Orleansl Some of these days the three clubs whd are rated so low today may be struggling against each other for the pennant.
 Up to the present time, the Baron5 have not hit the ball. Yesterday afrerl noon in two games Johnston failed to gea a hit and McGilvray and Messenger got but one each.
 In the first game the Barons got but two swats, one by Elam and another bsI Carroll. But for the excellent pitching of Boyd in that game we could not hayd won.
 Of course, the hitting will improve
 
 "Lif' Marcan has made a good impres1 sion during his period on the bench. He has worked as hard for the success of the Barons as any other man. He is an ideal coacher-though he demonstrated this fact only recently.
 Berghammer's wallop is still among the missing quantities.
 Smith was nervous yesterday afternoon, but at that did not show up so badly. There is much good stuff in him, we be- lieve, although it has not been proved as yet that he is strong enough for tlis league.
 Chaput disappointed, naturally He went good against the major league clubs, but not against the Billikens.
 Rick Woodward said yesterday that if he couldn't win with the team he has today, he will get a new one.
 He meant what he said, too.

Our Reserve Force.

The saving factor in this country
Is Its reserve force and recuperative
power. We are not a hand-to-mouth
people. We are not upset by local
reserves or transient obstacles,
Even under forces contracting in
their natural effect our industries
expand. A money stringency occurs,
yet capital continues conservatively
to seek new fields OF investment and
business proceeds with the minimum
OF disturbance. Some even assert
that we are now panic-proof, mean
ing, of course. complete paralysis OF
business. This is no theory, but a
condition, brought about, not spon-
taneously. but under the spur of per-
sistent application of definite prin-
ciples.
The strength Of nations, as well
as men. lies not in their ability ia
escape or avoid accident. but in the
power to recover from their effects
Materially and spiritually--in the
broadcast sense--our resources are
such as to encourage belief in ouI
power to resist the most witherins
blight Of adversely. Our good for,
tune 10 that We have developed this
reserve force from the need OF it
and now that we have 1t, nothing
can take II from us. BY learning
how to use the material means al
our command we have discovered
how to fcrtify ourselves against
overwhelming defeat. And not the
least part Of this factor is a spirituaI
consciousness of material prowess
