The following from the Memphis
Commercial-Appea indicates that B.
Bernhard, the astute scudder of the
Turtle craft, is satisfied:
Despite frequent and in some in
stances serious injuries, which neces-
sarily retarded Me teams progress,
the local ball club has gradually re-
solved itself into a formidable club,
asserts Boss Bernhard, and with a
few favorable breaks, together with an
abundance of hot weather, will be
sturdy candidate for a respectable po-
sition in the race.
mo additional changes in the make
up OF the team are being contemplated
Bernhard Is satisfied with the present
outfit. When Bales reports the latter
part of this month room may be made
for him on the infield, but until he
arrives and establishes his condition
and ability, the probability of change
will not be considered.
Until forced, to change his pro-
gramme by circumstances or limit
restrictions the local manager in
tends to carry six pitchers, including
lefthanders Kroh and Newton. This
means that Merritt has been defin-
itely decided upon as the official
Handy-Andy. However, the veteran
will take his regular turn on the peak
when not toiling in the utility role"
Not content in that the company
boasted of Kroh and a Hogg, Man
ager Frank has capped the climax
with Salmon. However, with them
all there is still bright hope that the
league will do Kniseley.

Auburn, May Especial clemson

Auburn by the score of Is to A. The
visitors got off with a good lead, due
to Locke's wildness and Drivers. who re-
| lieved him, was hit hard during the
balance of the game.
The game was featured by Moultons
stop of coretons grounder in the first
inning Noble's catch of Hutton's fly
in the eighth and the heavy hitting of
the Clemson team. Auburn's fielding
was ragged while Clemson felded
icleanly.
Auburns three runs came in the
fourth by punching five hits. while the
last run was scored when Major tripled
TO right center and scored when Ezell
threw into the stand.
The series is now even and the de-
Gliding game will be played tomorrow

SOUTHERN league scribes do not
seem to be greatly grieved in
~ that B. Smiths ball club was
handsomely trimmed by the Mobile
Gulls.
1t appears that because Bill started
the season with a earn and thought
full statement that he would win the
pennant without a struggle, that in
fact, every club he approached would
curl up and wither before the fire
which flashed from his weird optics,
the scribes were nettled.
And now since Bill has discovered
that he will have a sure enough fight,
and has gone abroad in a wild search
for real pitchers. the boys are glad.
They are also watching for future de-
velopments in that little report out
of Atlanta that some members of the
Cracker squad are indulging in that
variety of grape juice which signed the
death warrant of that good old Indian,
Seckalexis.
Atlanta scribes, or some of them at
any rate. are rejoicing that the season
has just begun, and that many rosy
days are before them. In other words.
they are predicting that the flight of
the Gulls will soon have reached its
crest, and that the aforementioned
Gulls will soon trend downward.
When one reads that clause, he real
ICES that the season has, in fact, just
begun.
And yet there is another clause.
The Atlanta Journal, after rejoicing
that many golden weeks remain,
touches with it's dainty fingers an
other chord. The Barons, the Journal
says, have been a sore disappointment.
And after reading, the fans feel their
eyes fill with tears because it has been
made to appear that the day is done
and that the history of the locals has
already been inscribed.
The clause in reference to the death
warrant of the Barons follows:
Another big disappointment has
been the Birmingham pennant win
ners. While ii was admitted that the
loss of Almeida, Jimmy Johnston and
Clarence Smith hurt the club, no one
ventured an opinion that 1t would re-
suit in Molesworth grabbing a round
in the pennant ladder as low as. sixth
place.
Volumes could he written about Billy
Smith. This season he has blossomed
out as a baseball scribe. He writes
his .own defenses. We have clipped
one of his interesting chapters from
the atlanta Constitution. and it is to
be noted that included in that chap
ter is a sly reference to red wine,"
and the internal trouble which is al
legged to be brewing. We quote:

trial. and l will send him in against
the Montgomery club tomorrow. If he
fails to show me something / will send
him back to Mike Finn.

WHY DID ELBERFELD
SELL BILL CHAPPELLE?

Chattanooga, May 9.-(Special) In
the opinion of local fans Bill Smith got
a man that will strengthen his hurting
staff at least 40 per cent when he Sc
cured Big Bill Chappelle from the
locals. The passing of Bell Cord" Bill
was generally regretted here and it
was no inferior baseball ability that
resulted in the tall fingers transfer.
Chappelle came to Chattanooga in
1910, being secured in exchange for AL
Damaree and Joey Collins. As it has
eventually turned out the locals got
the worst of the bargain by several
thousand dollars, but this fact was
Inever held against Chappelle.
