The other night he came to town lead

asked him why he didn't ride the
horse. He replied that he had ridden
the critter three miles out into the
country to see his best girl and that for
reasons of his own he had preferred to
lead the animal back to town When
he left town early in the evening the
party from whom he borrowed the
horse asked il he didn't want saddle,
but the gallant knight said the horse
looked so fat and plump that he believed
he would rather ride bareback. 1t is
sufficient to say that only one trip was
made to the country.

WHAT HAS BECOME
OF JIMMY JOHNSON
Reports of Former BarOn's
Whereabouts Differ-Is
He Sold?

What is going to become of Jimmy
Johnson? A dispatch from Chattanooga
yesterday states that the former Baron
speed merchant has been turned adrift
by the White Sox management and that
he has already been disposed of to San
Francisco. On the other hand a Nash
Vile special states that Johnson will be
retained on the Sox roster. but that he
will be used as utility man. This special
states that Comiskey gives full credit to
the wonderful speed and fielding ability
of the Southern league star and that he
will not ask waivers on the boy for some
time to come.
In addition to this Hugh Fullerton in
the Chicago Tribune, in speaking of
johnson, states that Comiskey will prob
ably use him as substitute to Ping
Bode during the early part of the sea-
son and then use the former Baron as
regular outfieder
These three accounts do not conform to
any considerable degree and friends of
Johnson here are Interested in knowing
just what is to become of the Chatta-
nocga boy. One thing Is sure, and that
Is IL Comiskey can get him out of the
big show and is willing to turn him over
to Birmingham that the Chicago mag
nate has only to wait until Owner Rick
Woodward can sign a check for the con-
sideraton.

BUCK WEAVER TO HURL THE
OPENER AGAINST CHATTA-
NOOGA-FOUR PLAYERS UN-
SIGNED

Atlanta, April 3. Especial Buck
Weaver, the former New Orleans hurler,
is Billy Smiths hurting selection for
the opening game of the season against
the Chattanooga Lookouts In Chatta-
nooga.
The former Pei has shown the best
form of any hurler on the corps All
teams have looked alike to him this
spring and his breaks are sharper. he
has larger assortment of benders
and more speed and control than ever
before
Lew McAllister, the veteran back
stop. has been selected as his battery
mate. The veteran knows baseball all
the way across the board and during
the past few days he has shown such
a wonderful improvement in every line
of work that the worry that was being
caused through the prospect of a weak
catching corps has now disappeared.
With the exception of the short
stopping berth, the batting order for
the opening game is also settled though
either DoBard or Keating win hold
down the place.
The batting order for the game will
be: Agler, first base; Alperman, sec
ond base; Welchonee, center field;
Bailey, left field; Long, right field;
Smith, third base; DoBard or Heating,
shortstop; McAllister. catcher Weaver,
pitcher.
The local squad now numbers only
10 players, three men having been dis
posed of the past week and a fourth
is to go Just as soon as a place is
found. This man is not being considered

though the Nashville baseball bugs have
finally made up their minds that they
must be content to see Harry Welchonce
wearing a Cracker uniform this season.
they are not going 10 accept the verdict
without voicing a bitter protest
Unless Bill Schwartz is able to land
the Vols in the first division the bleach
ers are certain TO mercilessly hammer
the club for allowing the leagues best
batter to get away from them.
Notwithstanding the fact that President
Hirsig is trying to convey the impression
that the trade was made voluntarily by
the Nashville club, the local fans are
fairly well convinced that the Crackers
caught the Vols mapping and slipped one
over on them.
That the Nashville club had through
carelessness lost its claim to Welchonce
now seems certain, beyond all question
of a doubt, and the milk in the cocoa
nut appears to be that Hirsig made the
trade for Callahan and sum of money
to keep this fact from becoming gem
orally known.

excuse whatever for not witnessing the
first ball game of the season this
year..
Arrangements for the rooters' badges
which are to be given free with every
person who buys chamber ticket
to the game are now under way. These
badges will entitle all who wear them
to a seat in the court of honor OF
Rickwood Field-the rooters' row,
which is especially designated for this
occasion.
A committee of the chamber has the
plans for the first day attendance
campaign in charge. There will be
brass bands. flags. parades, special cars
for the grounds to haul the rooters
and other features which are expected
without a doubt to get out anywhere
between 10000 and $4,000 people. the
largest crowd ever placed inside a ball
park fence by any southern city.
As already published. President kav-
anaugh will be present on this date to
present to Birmingham the trophy for
winning the largest attendance at the
first game last year George w. Per-
kins will also attend the game and
there are many features which already

MOLEY TO BEGIN
SPRING PRUNING
Several Youngsters to Go
When the Manager
Returns

When Manager Molesworth returns
from his invasion into the major league
training camps he will lift his ak in
deadly earnest and heads of several
recruits who now have aspirations of
doing regular duty on the Baron squad
this season will fall with a dull thud
into the basket of some bush league
aggregation.
1t is hard to predict just who these
castoffs will be.
Cochran with all of his hitting is a
bit slow for Southern league timber,
and will likely be sent to the bushes.
Roy Baker. Whitney and Moorer are
others who will probably get the can"
All of these hurlers are promising but
they lack the seasoning necessary for
Southern league timber
Fittery and Sloan have yet a while to
stick. Thus far they have shown great
form and may be retained permanently.
Young Thompson may be retained, but
his brother, the catcher, will be found
in the bushes before many weeks have
passed
