 though the Vols were rather belated in
 corralIing a 1916 outfit, after the whole
 sale housecleaning of the legacy be-
 queathed Roy Ellam by Bill Schwartz,
 the recent raid on the Browns camp,
 transformed a pail of gloom which hoy

 feeling of confidence. The acquisition oi Billy Lee, the former Cracker fly chaser Arthur Kcres, flashy performer at the last station with Rochester Ernie Her bert, dependable hurler and Al Brid- we'll to add steadying touch to the in- field, has about rounded out the Vol
 machine with the exception of strength ening the rifle corps.
 Should Gus Williams lay aside his dis like for the south and decide to share his fate with the Ellam outfit, the Vol set of gardeners will rank with any in
 Dixie. Howard Baker is the only vet though Baker never performs in proper shape until the suns rays grow hotter, his stick work fits in handily through the torrid season.
 Rumors have been rife for sometime past that Floyd Kroh would be traded for Pop Boy'' Smith, but nothing has ever come of the proposed swap and indications are that the crack left-hander will W vatch a hurling staff built around him once more. The Vols have a number of hurlers in tow, but for the most part
 the would-be slabbers are gents whose experience is limited. Wylie Taylor, se- cured from Louisville, should stick while the local moguls are daily congratulatins themselves in having kopped Arthur Decatur from Talladega The latter is 0 big right-hander and according to the dope that has come to the Vol bosses bears all the earmarks of turning out a winning brand of ball.
 | Dick Kaufman is fixture at first hat If the Vols are able to put over s deal for young Conwell, a second sackei from the Texas league, the veteran, A Bridwell, will have fight for berth at the keystone, for Conwell is a highly touted youngster. Manager Ellams apil- ity to handle the duties in the shortfield are too well known to Dixie fans te need comment.
 Arthur Kores and Dolly Gray, a Cen tral league recruit, are billed for fight on the last corner.
 Waivers have been asked or the major portion of Bill Schwartz's s outfit and moi q claim has been put in for any. of thu let. George Kircher, whose coachins antics kept the league in an uproar las season, was sold to Springfield. O., al though the comical cuss baked on ths deal

 Frank has sent transportation to the players mentioned above, with instruc- tions to the pitchers that they report March 1 and the remainder of the team March D.
 The Crackers will, for the first time
 in the history of an Atlanta team, train away from Ponce de Leon, Val dosta, Ga, having been selected as the training site.

 Matty will also act as battery coach and he will have the supervision of the pitchers and catchers during the train ing season. Frank does not expect to bring the team back home until about
 week before the opening of the sea-
