HIGH RECRUITS
 HOLD PRACTICE

Coach Cour1eux of the Birmingham High School announced yesterday morn- Ing that the first practice of the season would be held, and 40 men reported for practice yesterday afternoon at the West End park. However 1t is very probable that the squad of tryouts will be re- duced to 20 by next Monday.
 When the men assembled at West End park the following were found to be present: Pitchers Casey, Hickey, Louis Smith, George Whittamore, DeSore and Bailey; Catchers Lovick Stephenson, Beasley, Blanchard. Charley Jones, Lowndes Morton and Gillem, First Base- men Antwine, Evans. OBarr and Henry Baker; Second Basemen Earle Stapleton, Waldo Matthias, Douglass Wingo and Jerome Fox: Third Basemen Robert Hanby. Byrne and G. Dillon; Short stop Davis. Jenkins, l.. O'Byrne and William, Baker; outfielders Rohey IIil- Hard. Virgil Roach. Elwyn Cobbs, Fred Byron, Arrico, Norris, Howard Tribble and Robert Barker.
 From last years team are left but five players. Lovick Stephenson was the reg uldT CdlCU6T ldSl SedSOlip Wlille ocolS So Whittamore pitched and Robert Hanby played left field. Hubby Antwine played right field, and DeSore played second base. This year Antwine will try-out for first base, while Robert Hanby will try out for the third sack. Whitta- more, DeSore and Stephenson will play the same positions that they held down last year.
 Stephenson is a mighty good catcher, while Whittamore should develop into a strong pitcher. Antwine is a good fielder and a hard hitter, and if he should not be able to make first he will go back to the outfield. Hanby is rather fast and quick and should be able to play third in good style, while DeSore is also a neat fielder.
 From the recruits, Coach Courleux will be able to develop the others to com plete the squad. Cobbs, although he is rather small, should be able to make the outfield, while Howard Tribble and Robert Hanby also look good. The first game of the season will probably be played about March 22, with the Medical College team. Coach Courleux announced last night that he would try to arrange that game The schedule has not been completed as yet.

HAWLEY ESTATE IS
 AMICABLY SETTLED

New York, March 13.-A statement at- tributed to John B. Stanchfield. attorney for the heirs of the late Edwin Hawley, printed here today, says that a settle ment had been made by the heirs upon Miss Margaret Cameron. the late finan- cier's ward, by which she will receive an annual income of s250O0 from the es- tate, besides retaining the Hawley house on East Sixtieth street and the country place at Babylon, Long Island.

he would do if replaced in the White trust busting. Taft's record in this re- Is also credited with playing favorites with the trusts. But this should never be made political issue. It is purely question of the administration of law.
 If Roosevelt should be nominated by the republicans a conservative would be named by the democrats, and that would automatically become the issue of the general campaign.
 If Roosevelt Is nominated, and 1t is ad- mitted that he has a. marginal chance, a conservative. sane leader in the demo- cratic party will receive the support of thousands of republican voters who have never deserted their party before. But Roosevelts nomination will not be of last Ing benefit to either party. It will tenn porarily disrupt the republican party, but the temporary success that would come to the democratic party would not be as substantial as it would otherwise be.
 Upon the wreck of Roosevelt ruin the republicans would be able to rebuild party that would be more formidable than would be possible if the democrats win this year against representative repub- lican like Taft.
 Democrats who desire permanent sue cess and are not following the Roose- welt mob for excitement are not interested in the nomination of the bucl<ing bronco from Oyster Bay. They desire the nomi- nation of President Taft, who represents true republican policies, and would meet the only issue that is really before the people.

 But will they have anything on the local outheld? Not by much of a mar 01n, if at all Del Young and Well shonce should hit on par with any two outfielders in the league, and Schwartz still has a chance to land Daley or Northern or a man just as good from the Dodgers. Even if Rash rilIe fails to get outflelder from Brooklyn, Harry Storch is a nifty play pr who is due for lot of improvement In his hitting and will make the team competent man.

Smith Of the Anderson team, now with Brooklyn, was on third. He and the batter attempt- ed the squeeze play, Smith starting for home as the pitcher started to deliver the ball. The green catcher seeing smith was sure to score, rushed in front of the plate, grabbed the ball, and apparently retired Smith by good five feet. Under the rules I was compelled to score him, but the fans yelled murder The secre- tary of the league was at the game and saved my bacon by explaining the play to the fans, but I'm sure some of the Char lotte fans will always regard me as be- ing stone blind.
