WALTERTRAGRESSER PAYS BIRMINGHAM BRIEF VISIT
Former Star Catcher of BarOns Stops Off In City En Route to Braves
 Training Camp

Walter Tragresser. the star Baron backstop on the pennant winning team of 1914, was in Birmingham yesterday, and will be here until tonight, when he will leave for Chattanooga
 Tragresser is on his way to Miami, Fla, where he will train with the Bos- ton Braves for the 1916 season. He says Birmingham is the best town in and made the trip here at his own expense to renew his old acquaint- ances.
 Tragresser winters in Lafayette, Ind, and his transportation read from Cincinnati via Chattanooga and At 1anta to Florida When the backstop hit Chattanooga he felt the call of Birmingham and secured a stopover, paying for his own ticket to get to Birmingham where he spent two pleas urable days with his old friends.
 Tragresser was the class of the Southern league when he was with Birmingham and has not had a fair SnOWlHS III tuS lldJOIS where ne HdS been kept on the bench This year Stallings is in need of catcher and it is probable that he will be given more of an opportunity to show.
 Tragresser has had good winter, he says, and is in fine condition. He was in conference with Manager Molesworth and President Smith and other friends.

Basketball Festival Tonight
Diamond Duel BetzUeen
 Kduff and Cobb Planned

Official announcement recently that the Detroit American league baseball club will meet the New York Nationals in exhibition games at Dallas, Tex, March 9 and 26. is causing much interest among Detroit fans. A diamond duel between two famous ball players-one whom fan dom generally has crowned king and the other who was the champion batsman of the Federal league-will probably take place when the Tigers and Giants clash
 Ty Cobb, Detroits centerfelder, who has grown to regard the premier batting honors of the American league as per sonal property, will have his first oppor- tunity to match his skill and wits with those of Benny Kauff. The latter's great record at bat and in the outfield for Brooklyn, caused numerous baseball writers to refer to him as the Cobb of the Federal league
 When the independent organization went out of existence Kauff was pur- chased by the New York Nationals. AL though he has had differences over salary with Manager McGraw it is generally believed that Kauff will be in the New York lineup, not only during the train- ing season, but as a regular during the 1916 campaign. Manager Jennings of the Tigers granted Cobb permission to report at the Waxahachie, Tex, training camp this spring, whenever he felt like it. It seems certain that Cobb will not do much spring training as he has said that such conditioning weakens him during the crucial autumn games, but some of Ccbb's closest friends, who live in De- troit, assert that he will be in that Dal- las series, if he has to walk from Georgia.
 Kauff has never played in Detroit, but numerous stories have come to the Tiger camp concerning his ability. Former De- troit stars, who were with Federal league clubs last season, have generally declared that Kauff is one of the greatest batters they have ever seen. They have not been inclined to class Kauff with Cobb as a base runner; they have said that Cobb probably is a bit more dangerous at bat, because of his versatility, but they all, seemingly, have been ready to take

, together with the enthusiasm manifested by Central followers preparations are be- ing made to accommodate d capacity house. The first game will start at 7;30 o'clock, and will be followed by the sec ond game Which game will be played rst is still to be settled. Tommy Me- Gowan and Biscoe Seals will referee the games.
 Immediately following the game an en- tertainment will be given by Central afIgh school to the visiting teams. Just what will be included in the entertain ment will not be announced but a good treat is in store Music will be pro- vided.
 The majority of the teams that hah signifed their intention of entering the tourney were not heard from yesterday, although Coach Brummage kept the wires hot in an effort to get a reply to his messages Sidney-Lanier High school of Montgomery refused to enter the tourney fearing a rough deal. Jasper County High school cancelled their entry late yesterday afternoon. Etowah County High school refused to enter the tourney for unavoidable reasons" Bibb County High school, Marbury High school, Shell by High school, Tuscaloosa High school and others were not heard from. This was taken to mean that they would not enter,
 Provided that any of the teams ar rive in Birmingha mtoday, although not expected, the tournament will be held as first planned Coach Brummage ex- pressed his surprise at the changing of the schools after they had announced their decisions. Although plans would have to be entirely changed if any teams did come in today for the tourney with out warning, officials hope that this will happen.
 Chaperons will be provided by the Ath- letic club at their affair tonight

we will go out and get catcher. That's S what we will do observed the new pilot and from the way he looked when he spoke that throat full, it's worth bet that he would do exactly what he says. That's what ought to be done anyhow.
 "A gent who will publicly state, as did Mir. Street, that he imposed upon the good nature of his boss, is hardly in a position to dictate to the club what he shall do.
 But it's only fair to let MT. Ellam have the floor awhile so he can speak his piece. There's no use crowding gents, MT. Ellam will speak loud enough for all to hear, if that bird who is chewing gum will put the soft pedal on for a moment.
 'Of course. it may be necessary to strengthen behind the bat and in pitch ing departments. If Kroh should come back we will have left handler who can be depended on to travel as fast as any left handler in the league. Wylie Taylor ought to go good down in this league for he is warm climate pitcher Tom Rogers should be away ahead of his 1915 form for the experience he got last year will be of great benefit to him. There were several clubs in this league last season who feared Rogers, and I look for him to cut loose in good shape this summer. This Herbert comes highly rec commended and ought to make us good pitcher.
 'The infield and outfield both look good to me. We have three fine hitters in Lee, Williams and Baker, and although the first named hasn't come to terms yet, I do not believe we will have any great amount of trouble in getting him sats- fied.''

New York March 2.-The state boxing commission announced tonight that it had granted permission to sam McVey, a negro pugilist to try to win $50 offered by Jess Willard to anyone who can floor him during a boxing session in his train ing for the championship bout with Moran at the Madison Square Garden March 25 Mcvay said he applied to the comms- sion because he did not wish to break any of it's rules

issue with any declara@on that kauff is not the greatest natural batsman in the game.
 Detroit writers and followers of the Detroit club, who have regularly watched Cobb in action, have pointed out that his greatest feats have been achieved championship calibre. A few of these, which have helped make baseball his tory follow
 Scoring from first base on a single and scoring from second on a sacrifice fly to center field. in the same series, against the Philadelphia Athletics, who then were worlds champions.
 Scoring from first base on single at the expense of Hal Chase, playing first base for New York. Chase thought Cobb would attempt his usual trick of turning third and then returning to third base Chase, after putting out the runner com ing to first. threw to third. Cobb out guessed him and sprinted home.
 In a close game against Boston, Cobb took a long lead off third base. Cobb deliberately stood on the baseline until the catcher started his throw. Then he turned and sprinted for third base but being 'accidently'' hit by the ball, scored and the catcher was charged with an error.
 Walter Johnson is quite generally re- ferred to as the most effective pitcher in the American league, when the game depends upon a single play. An Ameri- can league umpire delights in telling a story of close game, when Cobb faced Johnson in one of the last innings. De- troit had the bases filled; two men were out. Cobb, it is claimed, walked toward Johnson and said:
 Well, Walter. heres the chance both of us have been looking for. Now we can decide who has the most nerve.'
 Johnson pitched. The 1.-the body of the Georgian hurled itself forward. The ball flashed to the outfield. Three men scored.
 Cobb pulled up at third and noticing that Johnson seemed rather downcast, used his hands as a megapnone, and, ac- cording to the umpire, said:
 Never mind, Walter old boy. You pitched that ball so fast I never saw it. I just shut my eyes and slammed"
