ALABAMA TEAM
 WEAK WITH STICK More Hitters Is Cry of Grim son SuppOrters-Game
 Friday

University, March 23.--(Special )--' More hitters"-is the cry that has gone up from the Alabama camp and which now seems likely will be the refrain all the season unless Coach Graves last bunch of play CTS picks up wonderfully in their batting. For while it was thought that it was the pitching staff that was too good for the rest of the outfit, but now 1t is whispered that Graves is dissatisfied with the weakness shown by the big majority of the candidates, both for the infield and the outfield. The pitching staff is fairly strong, but that is merely salutary. Abil- ity to swat the ball must be mixed up with other good qualities. else Alabama will end like she did last year.
 The team is excellent as fielding or gsrization That the infield will be in a class by itself among southern colleges is not doubted. The gardeners have speed and the other prerequisites-except that they can't face the pitchers
 The first game will be called Friday afternoon, and although the squad has probably had about as much practice as any other teams, yet it does not seem that Coach Graves will be able to pick a bunch that will wear the Alabama uniform all the season. Of the outfielders there are about six, each of whom is practically as good as the other. Three old men-Crawford Anderson and Mainei, are fighting it out with three freshmen Cleveland, Burnett and Brannon. It IS said that these men will have the call over Bully Vandegraaff and Henry Jones. although both are capable of put ting up a good article of ball.
 1t is practically certain that Hamilton ' a,,d tl. x.-;tl Il, astl n, Neville or Rabb, will open up against Birmingham college. at first, second. short and third, respectively. The pitching stafr is undetermined, though Smith, Roman. Jones' Wil<le and possibly Hogue will probably compose the string of beavers. Stevenson the best of last years crew Eiay be shifted to the outfield because of his hitting prowess. Captain Wells with Hotchett and Taylor in reserve, will boss the receiving end.

Crew Breaks En- durance Ascension Record, Staying in Air for Most
 of the Game

Lakeland. Fla. March 2s.-tSpecial.) Wildness on the part of Pitchers Louden- slagen and Ray in the sixth inning en- abled the Louisville "Colonels' to chalk up nine runs and place the game on ice. The game was called after the Barons had batted in the seventh. owing to cold ness. The score, Louisville Il, Birming- ham G.
 Up to the eventful sixth inning the Barons had comfortable lead. owing to the demon hitting of Coombs and Magee. Arthur Johnson started pitching for the Barons and was wild but effective ex- cept in the third, when the ''Colonels'' scored two counters on two hits, three passes and one error. In the fifth Loud- enslager relieved Johnson and escaped unscathed but in the sixth the balloon went up.
 Derrick the frst up, was passed. Stans- bury singled and Weinberg tripled to cen ter, scoring Derrick and Stansbury. Clem- ons was walked and Perry was hit in the back by Loudenslager, who was very wild. With the bases all dressed up Platte singled to left and, on comedy of errors. Weinberg and CIemons scored. Coombs fielded Platte's bingle badly and is charged with an error. Hemingway dropped Coombs' throw at tAird to catch Perry and Wallace fell all over himself on Heminsway's throw to the plate to catch Clemons. It was not baseball but 1t was excellent farce.
 After this comedy and with two men | cfiI1 pt1 .a q I was yanlSed and Ray started pitching MidSiff struck out. Daniels walked. the first of a procession. Osborn walked. forcing in Perry. Derrick walked, fore ing in Platte. Stansbny singled for the second time in the inning. scoring Dan- iels and Osborn. Weinberg tapped to Hemingway, scoring Derrick. but snufflng out Stansbury at second Clemons flied out to Sloan That ended the tragedy.
 The Barons started scoring in the first, when Carroll and Magee singled. Hem ingway flied to short and Sloan hit q vicious liner to right. scoring Carroll and Magee. In the third Magee singled. Hem- ingway singled. Sloan tapped to pitcher and was safe on an error. With the bases very intoxicated Cecil Coombs sobered them up with a ringing double to center. Coombs went out trying to stretch his his on an excellent return. Clark singled but was forced at second on Ellam's tap. Wallace grounded out. In the seventh Carroll doubled and Magee singled but rapid fielding prevented Carrolls SCOT ing. On Hemingway's tap to Derrick Car roll crossed the plate. Sloan ended the misery by lining to Derrick for double play.
 The Barons leave for Orlando tonight, where they begin a two-day series with the Havana Reds tomorrow afternoon. The Barons leave on a private car for Birmingham on Friday morning.
