Blossom, Blossom, I've been getting
Lots of advertising free,

Who'd have grabbed off all this

Nineteen battles in a row"

Hearken, then to my retort:
Could l win on stage or diamond
If l didn't have support"
Reuben, Reuben, you're a wonder;
As a pitcher you're a whale;
AS an actor-tell me. Reuben,
How do you keep out of jail?"
Blossom, Blossom, how you grieve
me.
I'll admit that l can't act:
Sull I'm what the public pays for
You viii not deny that fact?"
Reuben, Reuben, I'm so sorry
That l said a thing like that.

NASHVILLE, TENN, March
24.-The Volunteers first
division chances are grow
ing roster every day as the time
for opening the championship race
draws near, and indications are
that Bill Schwartz will not have
an unusual amount of trouble in
equaling his record of the two
past years Since the Boy Man
ager has taken charge the Vols
seem to be habitual fourth placers
and they look good enough to An
ish there again.
Fourth IL the lowest we can see
Schwartz's charges, and whether
they finish higher or not depends
largely on the pitching staff. Three
weeks ago the local staff of hurl-
ers was the most uncertain thing
about the team, but indications
are now that Nashville will have
quite a number of classy pitchers
on the roster who should be able
to cope on equal footing with
nearly any bunch of mound men
in the circuit.
Nashville should start the year
with a better infield and catching
staff than in 1912, an outfield that
will hold its own with any in the
league and a pitching staff that
should, have a shade over las
years. Furthermore, they should
start the season in better shape
because of the excellent weather
conditions that have prevailed dur
ing the spring training season.
'a
WITH Rowdy Elliott out on the
" coast, the catching depart
ment is bound to show up better.
Rowdy was anything but an asset
last season and was responsible for
most of the trouble on the team.
Ludwig. Glenn and Moves furnish
the material for a steady staff al
though not a sensational one by any
means. Schwartz hasn't decided
yet which man will be cut loose,
and probably will not do so until
just before the season starts.
THE addition of Goaiby at sec
ond base makes that depart
ment stronger than in 1912 He
takes Lattimore's place and should
prove much more effective than the
veteran, although "Latty's" batting
average was better than that of
the Kitty League recruits.
Schwartz. at first, and Lindsay. at
short, are certainties, and the real
race centers around third. Blunt
ing. Perry and Summers are the
candidates and it looks a toss-up.
Perry seems sure to be carried on
the team. but whether as third
sacker or utility man remains 10
be seen. Both Summers and Blunt
ing look good. the former having
a shade in hitting and the latter
in fielding.
