LOCAL ATHLETES WILL HAVE GO
 TO ANNEX SCALPS OF MANDY

The Vanderbilt basket ball five which meets the B. \. '. aggregation here Thursday night Is now making tonr Of several southern states. and from their record thus far the Commodore court out it is one of the most formidable lives that Coach Nespor's fayorites will take on this season.
 The Gold and Black crew is composed Of four of the stars who made football history at Vanderbilt last season, and it is said that these athletes are of almost equal ability on the court on the grid iron These men are the Brown brothers. both of whom were awarded all south ern position by many football critics Buddy Morgan. who in addition 10 be- lnS star gridiron performer and bas- ketball man is possessed of a voice that wins him a place on the Vanderbilt Glee club each season, and Joe Covington. the big tackle of last years football aggrc- gation Capt. Lewis Hardage is also touted as star basketball performer. but at present is absent with the all star football aggregation which Is to meet the Texas heroes in the big inter section al contest on New Years day.
 In their trip through the south the yan- dy fivo include in their schedule the At laDta Athletic club, the Mobile Y. NJ. C. A. five and other southern basket ball teams of prominence. In their recent contest with Sewanee, the Commodore performers smothered the Mountain lads.
 1t Is evident from the above that Coach Nespor will have to have his men on Ire go from start to finish if they arc to an- nex the scalps of the Commodore crew.

FRANK THINKS WELL
 0F YOUNG SNEDECOR
New Orleans Manager De- pending Upon Former
 Alabama Star

In speaking of the ability of Palmer snedecor, the young Birmingham col leglan who will get tiyout with Charlie Franks Pelican tribe next season, the New orleans Item of yesterday has the following to say:
 For first base next season the Dutch man is counting at present on Snedecor. That's the youngster who was branded as N, G, by Mickey Finn and passed on down to the Cotton States. Gene De- mont insists that Snedecor has the goods and will be 0. K. for the 1913 Pels. Frank thinks lots of Demont's judgment, but just the same he will have some one else to take a shot at the first base job in case the Alabama collegian falls down.
 From the present angle 1t looks like the foxy manager of the New Orleans club is highly correct in his judgment of the former Alabama star, and that he has probably slipped a package to Manager colleglan slip between his fingers. Sned- ecor has every requisite for ball player, being large, compactly built, fast and easy on his feet He will field with any first sacker in the Southern league, and if he keeps up the hitting stride that he seal son he is likely to make most of them look to their hitting honors. Last season was Snedecor's first year in professional company, and he clouted at a figure well over the 300 mark

MANY EX-SOUTHERN
 STARS LAND BIRTHS IN THE COAST LEAGUE
"A Organization Drawing Card for EX-S0utherners. Three .Ex-Bar0ns in
 the Circuit

The Pacific Coast league has proved good drawing card for ex-Southern leaguers during the past several years. have found their way to this A A organ ation via the draft and purchase route to the big show and thence to the coast. Next season will find an added number to the list. Among those already camp ing in the far west included a number of ex-Rarons. who have made baseball history here.
 The outcome of the much talked of "Rowdy' Elliott controversy has ended by the former Baron backstop becoming a member of the Vernon club on the coast. Hallnan, last years second baseman of the Memphis Turtles will next season be found in the same circuit, and Roy Mo- raH, last season with Chattanooga, has been transferred to the coast by Clark Griffith, who bought him from the Look out management.
 Among the old Southern league stars who are now on the coast are Harry Ables, the former Baron star southpaw. Harry was transferred to Oakland via the major circuit zacher. who played outfeld with Chattanooga two years ago, is also with Oakland I4andsay, a former Pelican and later with Memphis. Is with the Portland club. Manning. Memphis. 1907 is with the Los Angeles club. WEES, who worked for Charlie Frank some sea sons back, is on the same club with Ahles and Zacher. Abbot, Schmidt and Patterson are other Southern veterans who have found their way to the coast league.
 In addition to this George Yantz. the Birmingham catcher of last season, will be given berth on the coast In case he fails to stick with the White Sox.

To Ralph De Palma is awarded the 1912 rcad racing championship For several seasons past he has been acknowledged the mile track champion, but during tue last year De Palma did no mile dirt track driving and instead won greater laurels- tie road championship. Viewed froat any angle, there is absolutely no question inE his right to the title. for he started ir mere road races and won more vic tories than any other driver. Out of five starts he scored four first places-the light car race at Santa Monica, the El gir National trophy race, the Elgin free fcr-all and his greatest victory of the son, the Vanderbilt cup race. triumph. The only race in America in which he fell short of victory was in the International Grand Prix at Milwaukee in which. while running second, he collided with Caleb Bragg, the winner, on the last lap. The cnly road race of the year in which De Palma did not start was the Tacoma event. Next to De Palma in the number of road victories is Teddy Tetzlaf, who won the santa Monica free for all, the Tacoma free for all, and the Tacoma heavy car, but Tetzlaff entered six big races.
 De Palma's only appearance aside from the road races mentioned were at the Los Angeles motoFdrome, where he broke worlds records for the 3O0-inch class from one to 70 miles, and won other events, and also in the memorable 5000 mile race at Indianapolis. Followers of racing are familiar with the story of how De Palma began breaking all worlds rec oIds at the 50 mile mark and kept on breaking them until the 475th. They also recall how he was preparing for whirl- wind finish and s30000 victory when on next to the last lap he was eliminated by broken piston and had to relinquish fhe victory to Dawson. CnfortunateiN for De Palma, the contest board cannot allow him the new worlds records he created on the technical ground that be failed to finish the race, although there was never any questioning the fact that his average was considerably faster than eny other driver had ever travelled on a speedway. Up to the time he was eliia-

mated De Paima's average was better than Sl miles an hour-two miles an nocr faster than Dawsons record
 In the Islgin, Vanderbilt cup. Grand Prize, and Indianapolis races, De Palma drove a Mercedes car, owned by F. J. Shredder. an amateur sportsman of Jer- sey City, N. j. At Santa Monica he piloted a 300 cubic inch class Mercer.
 Contrary 10 rumors, following De Pal mas unfortunate accident in the Grand Prize race, the road champion will be seen in big contests in 1913. He will go to En- rope within couple of weeks to obtain a new fast car for the 300 miles race on May 3o At the time De Palma was breaking worlds track records by the cozen during former seasons. some dis cussion arose in racing circles and the opinion was voiced that q great track driver was never good at road work. De Palma absolutely exploded this the orE, not only the past season, but in previous road classics. For instance in 1908 in the Grand Prize race, the first big classic he drove. De Palml made the three fastest laps of the race ir a field composed of the pick of the worlds greatest foreign and American dtivers, and lost out with offer trouble. He scored his first road race victory ar Riverhead l.. l., in the fall of 1909 anl in the 1910 Grand Prize race he was the most feared driver in the contest and looked like d sure winner, having a two minutes lead On the ,ield. when on his next to the last lap the cyl inder cracked; 1911 saw De Palma score second in the Vanderbilt cup race and third in the Grand Prize race at Sa- xannah. The four victories the past sen sen caused practically all of the experts. such as C. c. Sinsabal of Motor Age. and others to Nconcede De Palma to be the greatest of road drivers, in addition to being the peer of them all at track racing.
