Welchonce Makes My Club $50 Stronger Smith
Eleven Crackers Have Cinched Their Positions

A LII right, the pitchers? What
about those birds? Well let's
see. Diamond Jim Brady carried
his job. over from last year. He
seems in first-class shape this
spring. He has a job Orlie F.
Weaver is another cinch. He looks
like wonder this year Out of the
rest Of the boiling I'd pick Paul
Musser as most likely to have d
job sewed up. Beyond that it's
guessing-and pretty rank guess
ing, too. Charley Becker hasn't
shown anything thus far and will
have to demonstrate right quick if
he is to land. George Bausewein
didn't impress at first, but his won
derful stuff" and his GOODNESS I'M
der fire have boosted his stock.
Hartner hasn't looked awfully good
any time he has been out, but Bill
Smith is Historically enthusiastic
over him and may tame him suffi-
GENTLY for Southern League con-
sumption.
You can do your own guessing
about Herring. He hasn't shown a
lot this year. but he had a lot last
year. 1t is cinch that Smith will
be slow about deciding on this
kiddo.
This leaves Gilbert Price. Up to
yet he has shown more than any of
- the other southpaws, though his
last out wasn't marvelously good
A NYWAY, eleven men have be-
come practically certainties.
Of course things may happen.
There isn't man on the team who
can't lose out even yet. But these
eleven will not lose out That's a
Cinch.

lcine team yesterday at Locust Grove,

scratches.
In the second game the freshmen won
from the sophomores, I to O. Both games
we're hard fought and few hits were made.
There are to be twelve games played
in all.

Saturday he banged out a home run
he also got some nice hits in the game
yesterday with Peacock.
Judging from some Of the marks he is
making daily in practice. Weston, of Tech
High, should have no trouble in shat
tering the local Prep league record for
the shot put. The record is 40 feet and
Weston is tossing IL that far in prac-
tice with little trouble.
Bill Bedell was elected assistant cap

From the standpoint of the local

Guilty would not be fraught with
pleasure. They would like to see
Tommy in action here.
If Mcmillan does not play here
the owners will see to it that there
is another good shortstop in his
place, they say. The Yankees must
submit every player to be turned
back to Rochester before sending
him elsewhere, and there is some
good infield material on the New

men can hit as well as they did last
year, with the chance that they will
do better, the team will be plenty
strong in hitting. Alperman was a
slugger last year and threatens to
repeat. Wally Smith appears like a
grand batter. Agler is fair hit
ter, above the average. And Tom
my Long is no SLOUGH with the
stick.
A ND that brings us to the ques-
h ton Of the men that will make
the team. It's looming big now.
though Bill Smith hasn't dropped
even a hint
McAllister and Dunn will be the
catchers. Understand this is only
our own guess, but see If 1t doesn't
work out Let's pass the pitchers
for the moment. The infield will
be Agler at first. Alperman at sec
ond, Dobard at short and Smith at
third.
The outfelderS Will be Bailey,
Welchonce and Long. Our own
bunch is that Dave Callahan will
go to Nashville Between Nixon
and Long the latter will get the call
because of his greater Glass A ex-
perience.
The only question arises as to
the pitchers and the utility man.
Both Herman and Heating are max
ing a strong fight for the utility
job. The clever way that the for
mer has fitted in at first base has
improved his chances a lot. And
vet Heating is an amazingly clever
fielder and no bad hitter. Just off
hand, I'd pick Herman, but that's a
rank guess.

turn the little shortstop back than
pay the price To call his bluff,
Rochester took him back, allowing
the big price asked for him in the
running account between the two
clubs
Tommy Star in Rochester.
The fact that Mcmillan had not
made much OF an impression in his
stay in New York helped to put
through the deal. Tommy, while a
star in this league, can not hit in
the big show. That is about all
there is to that.
With New York, Mcmillan re-
ceived a contract of $500 a month.
When he was turned back to Roch-
ester. he figured that he should re-
ceive as much. which, in view Of
the salary limit in force in this
league, was absurd on the face of il.
Mcmillan, when with Rochester.
received $3.50 a month, and was
given a check for 800 when he left
for New York. This season he was
offered a contract for 1915 a month,
which he sent back to the club with
a request for a contract calling for
$500 a month.
"You Know My Terms"
Il am returning the contract.
You know my terms" was his last
message
This is the way the matter
stands at present.

SCHEDULE ONE
FINE M|XED-UP
YOUNG AFT AIR

X CHATTANOOGA, March 26.--
There are serious defects in
the Southern league sched-
ule which was adopted here at the
spring meeting. Drafts of the
schedule have been received by
President Andrews, as chairman of
the committee, and these show that
New Orleans is slated to play 143
games, Montgomery 144 games and
Memphis 141 games. All the re-
naming teams are scheduled for
but 14O, which is the correct num-
Der.
The trouble lies in the fact that
New Orleans and Montgomery play
% games with each other and
Montgomery and Memphis 81
games, when they should play but
20.
The schedule will probably be
corrected in the next few days and
corrected copies issued by Presi-
dent Kavanaugh.

HAS NEW CURE FOR OBESITY
English Physician Has Formulated
Theory Which Seems to Be
Founded on Fact.

DR.. Galisch. an English physician.
in recommending new treatment for
obesity, states a new fact. His treat
ment is dietary as follows: In the
morning the patient takes = cup Of
tea. with buttered bread. and II he Is
TOO hungry to wait for luncheon he
takes an egg. with small piece Of
bread and butter. at 10 o'clock.
At l o'clock the meal consists Of
meat. vegetables. salad and COM
pote. In the afternoon he takes cof
fee. with little biscuit or white bread
with butter In the evening he gets
simply small piece OF bread and but
ter.
At the first breakfast and the mid
day meal the amount taken must be
sufficient for the patient to leave the
table completely satisfied. For the
first two or three days the patient
feels very hungry IN the evening, but
this quickly passes Of. and. he soon
gets into the habit OF eating more at
the first two meals. this excess Of
alimentatfon being counteracted by
the exercise and work done during
the afternoon.
The whole idea OF the treatment is
that 1t Is the food taken in the even

night which particularly contributes
