Although he refuses point blank to dis

the entire league agog-namely, the city
which will secure his services as pilot in

topics.
Among the interesting facts and opin-
ions given out by Johnny is the state
ment Charley Ebbetts, the Brooklyn
magnate, is responsible for the retention
of baseball in Montgomery; another state

Dobbers the best possible leader that

BILL HOLDEN, LOCAL PRODUCT,
DEBUTS WITH YANKEES-FIyE
IN AMERICAN LEAGUE: TUT
WILER, PRATT, SMITH HOLDEN
AND WALKER
BY REUBEN LEWIS.

The Birmingham contingent in the
major league increased yesterday aft
ernoon when Bill Holden cavorted in
center field for the New York Ameri-
cans. The Birmingham youngster
played in splendid form, driving out
two hits in three times at bat and ac-
cepting all chances in perfect form in
the garden.
Holden finished the season in the
Eastern association with the New
Haven club, where he batted 1926 for
the season. The youngster opened the
1913 season as a member of the Albany
club in the Sally league. He scintillated
in the field and at the bat and was
purchased for s400 by the New Haven
club, which was fighting for a pen
nant
Besides being a natural hitter, Hol-
den is very fast on the sacks He will
probably steal 40 bases season in the
ajors, if Frank Chance believes he
is experienced enough for fast com
pany.
With his entrance into the American
league, Birminghams delegation in
creased to four. At present, Derrill
Pratt, who is starring with st. Louis !;
Guy Tutwiler, who is playing first base
for Detroit; Clarence Smith of the Chi
cago White Sox, and Bill Holden rep
resent Birmingham in the major
leagues.
Next spring, Ernest Walker will re-
port to the st. Louis Browns, where
he will contest for an outfield posi-
ton. Thus five local products will be
cavorting in the majors and incident
ally in the American league.
Pratt is the foremost slugger amonc
the quintet, as he is hitting over %
with st. Louis. The University of Ala
bama product is in the midst of a
batting spurt and will probably gain
the 300 mark before the close of the
race. Tutwiler has been supplanted at
first base by Onslow, while Clarence
Smith is still acting in the relief role
