for defense toward the French
trenches. Now the French set to
work to make the trenches defens-
ible from the other side. Sacks Of
cement were hastily brought, dipped
into water and laid end to end along
the trenches and packed with dirt.
The French then desired to rest
little, but the Germans, wishing to
win back the lost position before the
French completed the defenses,
poured out Of their earthworks and
advanced.

These little hotels close behind the

Here, also, are refugees from villages
under fire and women come to try
and see their husbands who are
wounded or stationed in the neighbor-

Prospects for substituting Jack Brit

for February 20 were knocked in the
head last night by the impossible de-
mands made by Danny Morgan. man

CRACKERS NEED
ONLY A CATCHER
FOR 1914SEASON
Billy Smith Can Well Afford to
Stand Pat On Remainder
of Team.
BY O. B. Keller.

a + this juncture permit us to
~ arise with modest air and
make the following remark:
William Andrew Smith requires
one more thing to give him a ball
club fit to fight for the rag in 1914"
And add:
That one thing is a first string
catcher"
The way we see it, that's all.
wv HEN the enterprising Major CAL
w away made good on our hum
BILE little prophecies and roped in the
hitherto recalcitrant Andy Neon
nell at his Utica home, the grievous
problem of b. Smiths infield was
solved.
Some weeks ago, during a tanning
bee in the baseball office. Major Cal
laway remarked:
IF Mcconnell comes through I'll
be willing to stand pat"
That sentiment was Al at the
time. But since then Harry Chap
man, as Prexy Wilson would put it,
has blew the ranch
And that Is unfortunate.

left handed fielder. a hard, consist
ent hitter and a fast man both on
the towpath and in mental calcu-
lations.
Mcconnell is the ideal key-s toner
for whom the management has been
praying. He is an old head. and a
wise one. He is.a wonderful inf1eld-
err, hard hitter, and (heing a small
mani one of the best lead off hands
in the business.

Now Ham Reynolds is no SLOUGH.
From private tips that two or three
friends keep handing us, he is des-
tined 10 be a backstop of the first
water. and that not so far from now.
But Billy doesn't want to start the
season without catcher of known
ability. Billy Is exactly right about
that. And here's another little

will then run due east toward the
north end of the wooden stand,
while the third base foul line will be
parallel TO the grandstand This will
leave a very large area of clear
ground between North avenue and
the flrstbase line, which will come
in handy for the practice and exhibit

mateiy II superb gymnasium is
planned for this space, and it is the
hope and expectation of all Tech
men that it will not be long now be-
fore we get it.
The fence which now bounds the
north side of the field will be moved
back little farther, so that ii will
be close to 400 feet away from home
plate when the field is finished; and
if any OF our visitors will show
themselves able to put honorable"
horsehide over that 7-foot barrier we
agree In advance TO credit him with
one run, If not two.
The quarter-mil track projected
last summer will also be worked on
this spring and pushed to compile
ton. 1t will make a beautiful boun-
Diary to the field, and by next fall,
at the farthest. Grant Field will be
the finest athletic park the South
has ever known.
This splendid field will allow OF
practicing all of the 100 baseball
candidates at the same time, If such
a thing were desired. The question
would be as to whether there are
enough coaches TO watch them all
and give each man his due share OF
attention. However, not many of
them get out of their college duties
in an engineering school at the same
time each day, so that the squads
are generally of just about the right
size for concentrated practice and
close observation.

Montague is another whose shoes it
will be hard to fill on account of the
way he ripped covers off the balls
last year. Still, there are a host of
candidates for each place, and 1t is
not unlikely that the gaps will be
plugged up to satisfaction.
The season will open with Auburn
playing in Atlanta. This is the first
time in the history of baseball at
the two institutions that Auburn has
been the first team on Techs sched-
ule. 1t is, in a way. unfortunate, for
whichever loses the season will
start off their sprint for the bunting
with one black eve at least. The
arrangement of such an important
series this early in the season will
however have this advantage, that
II will make both teams struggle
hard to get In shape early.

ball work is already opening up with
big hurrah. Most all the southern

Northern ones have played full

The outlook is for greater interest

has, no doubt. something to do with
arousing this early interest. but It is
in part due TO the fact that the pro-
fessional teams are getting under
way earlier than ever before. and.
naturally, the newspapers do their
share toward arousing the sleeping
