BESSEMER MAY YET
 GET JACK REIDY
MOnascO Thinks He Will Make Fine Man for the Southeastern
 Company

It is probable that Jack Redy may land a position in the Bessemer outfield if he will be reasonable over money mat ters. Last night F. c. Manasco, the own CT of the Bessemer franchise, anncunced that he had just called him at Chattanoo- ga over the telephone about the matter of signing up, and he seemed to be will whether or not he will play.
 Jack Reidy is an old University of Ala bama player. having been upon the same team with Derril Pratt. Then he landed a berth with the Chattanooga Lookouts in the Sally league just before the Look outs came into the Southern league. He played there one season and did very nicely, but the next season, when Chat tanooga was in the Southern, he was not strong enough with the willow and was shipped to the Macon team in the Sally league.
 This season Reidy claims that he is a free agent, for the Macon team did not tender him a contract until after Febru- ary 1, although he had given them his winter address. He declared yesterday that he would take the matter before the national commission unless he was de- clared free agent.
 ,Reidy would no doubt prove to be gooo n an for the Bessemer team, as he is fast and a fair hitter. He should hit over .27; in the Southeastern. He is a splendid out filder, and owner Manasco will try to land him.

JACK REIDY CLAIMS
 TO BE A FREE AGENT

Chattanooga, February 27.-(Special) Jack Reidy, the former Alabama col legian, who played in the outfield at Macon last season, has laid claim to his free agency because of the failure of the Sally league club to tender him a contract prior to February ]. Reidy states that he will take the case to the national commission if necessarN as the Macon club had his winter ad- dress and made no effort to locate him. When his free agency is established he may sign with the local club, al- though it is hardly likely that he can be used here. The collegian Is beau tiful fielder but not sufficiently for midable with the willow.
 Reidy made his professional debut in this city in 1909 with Sally league Look outs. and was considered the most sensational fielder in the league He was reserved and given a tryout in 1910 with the Southern league but did not hit with sufficient frequency. Jack secured his baseball training with the famous University of Alabama team which won the Southern, championship in 1908. Derrill Pratt, last year with the Dobbers, and Frank Allen, last sea- son with the Gulls, were other mem- bers of the club.

 semer park which will be built to home
 the new Bessemer team in the South eastern league. large force of men is

It may be that Birmingham will arrange to farm out her promising youngsters t4 Bessemer, where the manager can be near and watch their development However, no contract has been signed as yet. As the season is divided itno two pe- riods, if Bessemer should manage to win one of the pannants. then post-season series of games would be arranged to set tie the championship. This would make things hot down at Bessemer, and large attendance would be drawn, both from
 there and Birmingham.
 Work will be started on the Southeast ern schedule within a very short time, | and it Is probable that Bessemer will pla [ here when the Barons are away. The
 opening games will be played in Bessemer.

 rons have gone away. The Selma team.
 under Link Stickney's management, will be Bessemers opponents.

Work IS Progressing Rapidly

The Walker skyscraper has reached

1t had been planned by the NJ. II.
Walker Realty company to unfurl to
the breeze the Stars and Stripes at
the close of the week. a number of
workmen had asked to make the ascent
10 the topmost point Of construction
and fix the national emblem in its
place. 1t was proposed TO have this
feat accomplished in view Of the watch

ever, the delay caused by the rainfall
and the necessity of raising the big
derrick in order to complete the con-
nection of the highest girders necessl-
tated postponement.
Within another week it is expected
that plans for the interior of the build
ing will have been approved. The com
pany has decided to make the inside ap'
pearance of the edifce much more elab-
crate than at frst proposed. AS the
highest structure of its kind between
the Missouri river and the Pacific coast,
the building will be made as attractive
as any similar modern structure In the
country,
Work on the building has now. pro
