While rumors were flying thick and fast

thinking seriously of accepting lucra-

The latest player that is being
groomed as the successor OF Bill
Schwartz at Nashville is Tom Jones,
the former Tiger first baseman, who is
now holding down the same position of
responsibility on the Milwaukee team
in the American association. Hoffman,
Sheckard and several other veterans
have each been mentioned as the next
Vol leader but as yet the situation in
the Vol camp is unchanged and no an
swer to the managerial enigma is on
the horizon. According to the reports
from Nashville, Hoffman is the man
most favored for the position. If
Schwartz draws the can, which seems
extremely likely at present. Hoffman
will make the Vols a good man and
could probably put a team in Nash
Vile next season that would rank
among the best.

BAG. BASKETBALLERSI IN FINE
SHAPE FOR ATLANTA FIASCO
Coach Nespor SatisfiedWith
Work of Men-Game Will
Be Hardest That Has Yet
Been Played
by ASA RouNTREE, JR.

Satisfied is the way Coach Nespor of
the Birmingham Athletic club put it when
the question of what he thought of the
showing that the club baslxetballers were
making In practice was propounded to
him. Furthermore, he stated that this
years squad was showing up better than
any of the previous ones that he mas
coached since coming to birmingham and
he was confident that his men would
vanquish the team representing the At
lanta Athletic club when they meet next
Saturday evening on the club floor How
ever. the Athletic club coach has not been
deuded into thinking that the locals will
have a sinecure on their hands in the
Atlanta Athletic club team. but on the
other hand, is of the opinion that the
game Saturday will be the hardest that
has been played so far this season, and
that his men. to win, will have to play
at top speed throughout. He considers
the Atlanta team one of the most formi-
dable that will be encountered this year.
and is accordingly preparing his players
for a close and hard fought game.
The games that have been played so
far this season have all been walk-aways
promises to be of a different type. Primed
especially for the game, the Atlanta boys
are coming with the determination to
wipe out the old defeats that they have
sustained at the hands of the locals and
to put the death knell to the champion
ship aspirations of the club contingent.
Last year they proved to be one of the
stumbling blocks that put the club team
out of the running and this year they
hope to duplicate the feat.
Squads Keen Rivals
For years the two squads have been
keen rivals, each getting more enjoyment
out of victory over the other than from
almost any other win chalked up during
the season, and this one is no exception.
During the 19l1-1912 season. when the club
captured the southern title, Atlanta was
forced twice to bow down in defeat but
last season they got revenge. They We're
defeated in the game played In Birmng-
ham, but in the one staged in Atlanta they
were triumphant, wrecllng the hopes OF
the locals for an undisputed position next
