Bagby and Higgins
Pels' Opening Battery.

NEW ORLEANS, LA, April IL
Manager Dobbs will take his entire
squad, twenty players, to Montgom-
cry Tuesday for the opening game Of
the season. Four Of the number are
to be turned loose on or before May l..
Dobbs has not decided who he will
work in the first fracas, but indi-
cations point strongly to Bagby and
Higgins.
The lineup is completed with the
arrival of First Baseman Bluhm. ex-
cept that Dobbs will allow Hondrvx
to remain in center or send Sylvester
to that position, Sylvester, because
of his batting in the exhibition series
looks like the man who will get the
job
The probable batting order: Sylves-
ter, center field; Starr, second base:
Northern, right field; o. Burns, left
field; Lindsay. third base; Bluhm
first base; knapp, shortstop; Hig-
gins, catcher; Bagby pitcher.

RESERVE CLAUSE
NOT VALID, SAYS
DAVID L.FULTZ
Not Equitable, and Indefinite as
to Amount Of Salary,
Reasons He Gives.
Jew YORK. April 1f.-David I

NEW YORK, April 1i.-David l.
u Fultz, president Of the Baseball
Players Fraternity, explained
IN lengthy interview yesterday why
his association refused to compel its
members TO consider the reserve rule
contained In contracts OF organized
baseball The fraternity he declared
would assume an Indifferent attitude
until the legality Of tho clause in
question had been determined in the
courts Of law However, Fultz left no
doubt as to his personal sentiments
in the matter.
IF this very troublesome clause is
tested" said he, "as now seems likely
rwe believe the yesult will prove that
we have been wise in the stand we
have taken"
Fultz Is a lawyer, and as such, per-
haps, his opinion is worthy Of con-
sideration. doubly as, unlawyerlike,
st was furnished gratis. one loop
hole of attack to the reserve rule, he
says, Is It's many different forms. He
claims the major league instruments
are entirely different from those which
prevail in the minors. and that the
lesser leagues heretofore have en-
ployed such a variety as would COM
pare favorably to the number of as
sociations operating under the great
organization.
The reserve clauses as set forth
in the two major league contracts for
the season of 1918, and under which
players who have jumped to the Fed
eral League must be held, II at all, are
identical, and to my mind unques-
tionably uncomfortable, said Fultz.
'There are two alleged defects in the
provisions: First, its inequitable ma
ture In that 1t binds the player for
his entire career, while the club Is
bound for only ten days; and second,
its neglect to state what salary shall
be paid under the contract to be en-
tered into"
The president Of the fraternity says
no court has the power to compel a
player to play with his own team,
The sense Of the reserve clause, in
his estimation, Is to prevent that
player from appearing with a rival
club. Such latter action Is possible,
he thinks, only in contract of equity,
which is not possible under the pres
ent reserve rule,

Kroh Is Picked to
Pitch TUESDAYS Came.

CHATTANOOGA, TENN, April IL
Mccormick and his Lookouts, after
six weeks of arduous training, are
ready for the sound of the gong that
will send them away in the race for
the bunting in the 1914 free-for- all
of the Southern League. Local fans
are no less ready and impatient than
the athletes bearinf Chattanooga
colors, and II McCormick's recruit
hurlers maintain in the heat OF the
championship race the form which
they have exhibited against the barn
storming major leaguers, they are
confident that the club that defeats
the Lookouts will annex the flag.
The opening lineup of the locals
Tuesday against the Turtles will be
as follows: Johnson, left field; Coyle,
first base; Jacobson, center field; Nc
Cormick, right field; Balenti short
stop; Flick, second base; Graft, third
base Street, catcher; Kroh, pitcher.

Nelson Hope of Bills
In Initial Battle

MONTGOMERY, ALA, April IL
Montgomery's prospects for the COM
ing season are brighter than they
have ever been since the Capital City
of the State of Alabama has had a
club in Judge Kavanaugh's circuit.
Manager Gilks, with the assistance
of President Wilcox, has secured a
bunch of players that look better on
the field than any club that has before
worn Montgomery uniforms. Gilks
has been laying stress on obtaining
players that are fast on the bases,
and present conditions are that the
Montgomery team should lead the
league in stolen bases the coming sea-
son.
In the exhibition games, the Mont
gomery team has shown a great ar
ticle of baseball in every department,
and it will make q great fight for the
rag the coming season.
For the opening game they will line
up as follows:
Hollander, shortstop; H. Baker,
second base; Daily, left field; Elwe-t,
third base; Mcdowell, right field;
Jantzen, center field; Snedecor, first
base; Kleinow. catcher; Nelson,
pitcher

More or Berger to
Hurl Opener for Vols.

NASHVILLE. TENN. April Ii
Since the acquisition of Tnf1elder Will
liams, Manager Schwartz, of the Vols,
is undecided where he will place the
newcomer in the batting order The
Vol pilot stated this afternoon that
in all probability Williams, who will
play second base, will hit following
Sloan
In that case the following will be
the batting order on the opening day:
King, first base; Hemingway, third
base Callahan, center field; Sloan,
right field; Williams, second base;
Schwartz, first base; Lindsay, short
stop; Smith, catcher: More or Ber-
ger pitcher.
In case a deal now hanging fire for
a catcher goes through, which seems
quite likely. the new receiver will take
Red Smiths place behind the bat. The
Vol management are figuring on get
ting Frank Gibson, now with the De-
troit Tigers, and a former Vol.

By WALTER CAMP.

THE announcement recently made
that. Edgar Palmer of the
class Of 1908. has given a stadium to
Princeton in honor of his father, the
late Stephen S. Palmer a former
Princeton trustee, is most welcome
news, not alone TO Princeton, but to
Yale and Harvard and other colleges
which journey to Princeton for foot
ball games in the fall. individuals

talking with Dean MCClenahan last

time they should have a stadium as
they had a very desira Bile location for

between washington road and Harri-
son street, south OF Prospect avenue.
II will be an open ended affair
shaped like the Harvard stadium, and
will be 700 feet IN length and $50 feet
in width. with the top row seats GO
feet from the ground II will have an
inside Quarter-mile track with a 220
straightaway. The statement has
been made that possibly this may
solve some OF the difficulties OF the
Army Navy people, by enabling them
to play their game at point little
more equally distant. but 1t would
hardly be safe to bank on the compile
ton Of any structure OF this kind in
the limited period between now and
