HURLERs NOTHING EXTRA

Yet it must be said for the Vol moguls that to all appearances they are beSin- ming to line up with this preparedness pol icy. Heretofore the local bosses have been rather on the other side of the fence, willing to take a chance on the present array of hLrling talent and in the event of a blowup, to rush madly out and seek some reinforcements for the boys in the firing trench That plan However, al ways has its drawbacks, for frequently when q hurler must be dug up on a moments notice it truns out that some body has already cleaned out the whole patch and there is, to quote the old poet, s.Nobody Home.
 Shreks for hul'lers gum up the atmos- phere each and every spring and the gents who start on a belated hunt for mound talent when the hostile clubbers begin their deadly bombardment, sometimes get left at the post Few folks have the nerve to go out and boost about the slabbing crew which the Vols have collected. As far as ranking with hurlers on several other Dixie outfits, that might be men, toned, the Vol slabbers looked faded and shabby. That is as a whole. Especially if Mr. Kroh doesn't come back. Some of the crop of singers in all probability will be able to travel along at an even clip no matter what mighty sons of swat come bustling along to sample their pitching. Others are pretty certain to wilt

RICHMOND MAY GET STREET

With such outfits as the Tanks, Browns and one or two other big circuit outfits feeding a small army of ambitious rifle men and with the influx of Federal mound talent to the market to book a promise of an early pick of the castoffs would do the Vols lot of good. Boss Roy Ellam is a gent who believes in seeing to 1t that endorsements are pretty close at hand before he goes into battle. Nothing more expensive than a 2-cent stamp is needed to draw from some of the major pilots promise of bidding on the dis carded hurlers. Pretty soon the guillo- tine will begin to fall in the training camps and it will be first come first served. If the Vols are on the waiting list they naturally will get a fat chance to grab off a dependable slat<er. Nobody is going to make them present of any hurler.
 The same thing goes for 8 backstopping rcL.x

Robertson and Johnson occupied third, several rockies at short Clark at second. Schwartz at first with Black, Vines and number of other rockies backing up the infield.

ALLEN SATISFIED

Allen wanted the same salary he got with Atlanta lastuyear and got it. The southpaw is the Kids particular hobby. The local manager believes the curve ball artist will be the star pitcher of the en- tire league.
 Both Allen and Martina pitched good ball for losing clubs last season. Allen won + and lost 14 with Atlanta, whose team finished with a percentage far be- low 800. Martina was with the Beau mont team of the Texas league. Beau mont finished last with a percentage of .421. Martina led the pitchers of the club with F won and r lost
 The Kid believes that as things are shaping up now, he will be well able to weather the campaign with four pitchers. Charley Smith, the veteran, is expected to pitch no less than 40 games. He thrives on work and the Kid, who knows him thoroughly, says that one reason he was not more effective while with the Cubs was that he was not worked often enough. Allen pitched more than % games, as did Martina. These three look like sure members of the staff. The other berth rests between the youngsters, Herbert, Posten karr and Moore.

ROY ELLAM OFFERS KELLEY PITCHING
 BERTH WITH VOLS
Former Baron Anxious to Secure Services of Re leased Hurler-Ellam
 Receives No Answer

Manager Roy Ellam is desperate The Vol manager and former shortstop oi the Barons is in dire need of a good Dependable twirler and with the an nouncement of the unconditional release of Herbert Kelley, the crack pitcher for the Crackers last season. Manager Roy Immediately got busy
 His efforts were futile up to late last night and the Vol leader was keeping the wires hot between Nashville and Mo- bile trying to locate the former Cracker. Kelley is a good pitcher and will make any club in the Southern league star hurler. It would be a good addition to the Vols and would greatly strengthen their pennant aspirations
 Blinlzy Horn, in the Nashville Tennes- sean appeals to Kelley to answer the Vol manager in the following article
 If MT Herbert Kelley late of the Pi- rates. will make his whereabouts known to Roy Ellam. he will take d great strain off the mind of the Vol boss. Mir. EIlam is quite anxious to have MT. Kelley hurl the baseball in Nashville this summer. lie is willing to give the former Cracker slabman a regular job, but he has no more idea of where Mr Kelley is than he has of the location of the Irish navy.
 WIRES FOR KELLEY
 Yesterday, the Vol boss sent a message to Mr. Kelley, to Mobile, because the oyster city is the home of the late Pirate. Yet up to 8 late hour last night nothing had been heard from the much sought singer
 Although MT Kelley record as hurler was nothing sensational in Atlanta last season, he showed signs of having con siderable top-notch pitching stored up Ill his wing. With a first division club there is little doubt the Cracker would have made more respectable showing i'll the average book than an even split In A games.
 Along with the dispatehing of a message to Herb Kelley urging him to cast hls lot with the Vols, came gabfest With MT. H. H. Perdue, the well-known vege- table from Gallatin, but from what leaked out nothing came of the conference eX- cept considerable converse ton. Which adds but little strength to the mound corps.

.LOOKOUT:OFF|C|ALS ARRANGED ID END
 H0LD0UT SEASON
Three Suspended for Fail. ure to Sign-Elberfeld Expecting Much of
 Allen and Martina

Officials of the Chattanooga baseball club arranged to end the hold-out sea- son yesterday. Every Lookout is now practically in the fold except the three Bisland, Somers and Efird-whose posi- tions necessitated their suspension.
 First Baseman Joe Harris, the hero of "Wrathy'' Campbell, the well known Lookout fan. wired that he had signed his contract and would mail the same post-haste.
 t After an extended conference, during W hich every angle of the situation was discussed Manager Elberfeld and Presi- dent Andrews agreed that it was best to meet the terms demanded by Jim Allen and Joe Martina, the two pitchers, and these athletes can now be considered as signed.
 Martina, who was drafted from the Texas league, had not been considered a hold-out, but he displayed additional signs of activity in that department recently with the result that concessions were found necessary to bring him round. The Kid expects Martina and Allen to be the best pitchers on the club.

BILL PROVIDES FOR
 AEROPLANE PATROL

Special to Gateway by United Press)
 WASHINGTON, April 12.-It was learned today that fleet of fifty aeroplanes to patrol the Pacific and Atlantic coast as auIiliaries to the U. S. Coast Guard cutters, is the proposition set forth in a bill to be introduced during the present session of Congress. The bill will ask for an appropriation of S5OOOOO for the pur- chase and maintenance of the fleet There are 5000 miles of coast in the '. S. and it is proposed to have an aeroplane stationed every 100 miles.
 Lookouts in aeroplanes would be able to sight ships in distress much more readily than the lookouts on board coast guard cutters; and since the air machine can attain a greater speed than the cutters, aid could be dispatched to distressed vessels more quickly. It is maintained that these coast guard aeropIanes would be a valuable addition to the military forces in time of war.
 The possibilities of this fleet are great. Equipped with searchIights at night they might prove far more adequate than light ships, and it is held that an aeroplane would be of great service to coast guards in carry ing brooches buoy lines to ships ashore, when the surf is running too high for the launching of life boat
 Mayo Dudley a Washington news paperman, conceived the idea, and has been instrumental in the drawing up of the bill. Coast guard officials, the Aero Club of America and As sistant Secretary of the Treasury Newton have endorsed the proposed bill.
