to get the hold-outs into the fold
and the players will be ordered to
report with rush on March 3.
For there will be no time for any
foollshness. From March to April
10 there will be little enough time
to timber up the players, sort out
the regulars from the boomers,
and to whip a team into shape.
Fortunate, indeed, is the fact that
there will be no other team train
ing at Ponce DeLeon This will
mean that Bill Smith can work as
long hours as he wants to, can
play all the practice games he de
sires to and can sort out his play
ers and whip them into a team
without interruption from a lot of
chesty big leaguers.
DECKING the ten best drawing
cards in various leagues has be-
come a popular pastime. In the
Southern you can't stop with ten,
for there were twenty worthy Of
notice, as follows:
l. Daley-For his ability to josh
the bleacher fans and get away
with It,
2. Lemon-For the excellent OPP
portunities his name offered to the
jokesmiths.
J. Jimmy Johnston-For his
binding, dazzling, record breaking
speed on the paths.
T. Doc Johnson-For his amaz
ing gift of CAB.
3. Hemphill-For the fact that he
never cracked a smile after the
season opened. Cited with Sltton
for first honors.)

Mr.. Brush.
Haven't had a drink" answered
Raymond promptly. That was a
rubber stamp line with him. He
never admitted to having a drink
even when navigation was difficult

dizziness to his head or heat or

"OMORROW afternoon Presi-

leave Atlanta for Chattanooga TO
attend the Southern league sched-
ule meeting.
They aren't anticipating any
sweet time of It,
Major Galloway will lead what
is likely to be losing fight against
the proposed schedule.
Beyond the action on the SEIZED
ule, which will no doubt be rail-
roaded through despite all protests.
there n no business OF especial
Importance before the meeting.
II is said that the new ruling Of
the national organization makes It
impossible TO change the rule which
requires all clubs to get down to
the limit the opening day OF the
season This remains to be dem
onstrated. II there is no law of
baseball against 1t. the rule as 1t
stands will be changed to allow all
teams to carry few extra play

The visiting moguls will be en-
tertained by Kid Elberfeld, the
Chattanooga manager with bar
becue at his residence near the
Lookout city.
And that will about wind II up.
There may be little off hand
trading, but there is little rkeli-
hood that any real stars viii change

the most acid variety are usually
the only things that change hands
by the trade route.
NOT to change the subject alb
ruptly, but, anyhow, there Ia
always a lot Of Joking among ball
players about how much they eat.
For instance, here's fair sample:
Lou Castro: Have you ever no.

than managers
Lee Garvin: rs that right ?"
Lou Castro: Yes; there are more

Galloway, of the local club. has
been pestered by insurance agents
who want him to take out $4,000
on Bill Smith.
The major thought II over and
finally returned the following YER
dict:
mo, l can't do it. If the team
got TO running last again there
would be too much temptation to
kill Smith and collect the insur-

ADDRESS BY
GOV. HOOPER
Delivered to 1000 Convicts in
Penitentiary Was Mas
terpiece.

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. l0.-Gover-
nor Hooper addressed 200 conyicts at
the stste prison here today, explain
ing the features of the prison parole
bill, which passed The present legisla-
ture, as the result of the strenuous
hight that the chief executive has wac
ed for the law ever since he has oc-
cupied his present position.
The governor has delivered no
stronger speech since he has been in
public life. 1t was a masterpiece of
rhetoric and touched the hearts chords
of the men who heard him. 1t was a
straight from the shoulder addre S
delivered in language that The men
could understand but the sentiments
expressed were literature.

ten covered up with misdeeds and by
reaching down beneath the misdeeds
we might find heart of gold and no.
billty of honor. Ii Is the business of
the prison officials 10 stir beneath and
find these flames OF characters. 1t is
not their business TO wreak vengeance
on the prisoner for what he has done,
but To make better citizen of him
Folks are the greatest things in the
world. We have all heard and read
about the conservation of forest, OF
mountains and streams, but the con-
servation and salvation of men both
here and hereafter is OF paramount i'm
