Kipling's Song

Jesse Lynch Williams, in the Prince
 ton Alumni Weekly.
 l remember one night in the gold en sos. It was out of doors. There was crowd of us It was quite late. Most or the campus was asleep. Therefore we sang to them. And To! they awoke. It became concert. Soon from the paJamas son the balconies came loud cries for Danny Deever." It was all ways difficult to make Tarkington per form, but at last he succumbed. Tark ington's tune for this song of Kip ling's was evolved from some music brought down to Princeton by Max Farrand, now head of the history de- pertinent at Yale. Farrand borrowed it from his brother in '8S. who got it from Richard Harding Davis, who heard Kipling himself sing the song. How much it had been changed in transportation I did not know but 1t always seemed to me, when sung by Tarkingto ton, far better and more blood curdling than the rather jolly martial air written by Walter Damrosch, and sung by David Bispham.
 We'll, 1t was quite late by this time and a very sultry night. Just when TarlSington, with his bottomless voice, rolled out his last and lowest They are hangin' Danny Deever in the mo- arn-inn" 1" a low peal of distant thun der joined in on the same key and rolled the note around the heavens. It gave us all most delicious thrill, and I don't believe that any of those who heard it have ever forgotten 1t.

Bdrons Score Easy Win
 Over Birmingham College
Fly FRED BoDEKER

The Barons played their last spring exhibition game of the 1916 season yes- terday afternoon at Redwood Field against the Birmingham college nine and needless to say, they won. The final count was 10 to o. The Methodists put up far better game than the score in dicates and had the streak of luck changed it's course during the game, might have scored.
 Guy Nation was on the mound for the Methodsts and made very creditable showing. He had plenty of steam be- hind his shoots and his curves occasion ally were hard to find by the Baron bat ters. He twirled the entire game and which was for three sacks. Nation fared exceedingly well as compared against other school teams that have faced the Barons this season and had he received better support would have held the Bar ons to five runs.
 The weather put slight damper on the interest and only handful of fans saw the contest. Moley sent Dickie Rob- ertson to the mound for the Barons and twirled eight sessions before he was re- neved. Robbie didn't try so awfully hard, but whenever the collegians be- came dangerous, he frightened up. AL though diminutive Dick was touched for six safeties in eight sessions, two of which came in one inning, the Metho- dists never did threaten to cross the platter SeriouSly

runs were added in the second. Smith beat out a tap to short. Robertson famed and Mcdonald was safe when Gillian muffed his easy roller Derrick hit a fly back of first and Nell dropped it, Smith and Mcdonald scoring.
 The Barons scored again in the fourth. when, with one down, Mcdonald walked Derrick hit safely to center and McDon- aid went to third. Clark singled and both Mcdonald and Derrick counted. Clark was caught trying to take second on the throw to the plate. The game rolled along until the eighth. when the Barons added three more on four singles. Carroll was safe on s. Wares error. Werner rocked the rightfield fence, Car roll scoring and stopping at third. Smith singled and Werner scored. Coombs, bat ting for Robertson, singled to center. Smith went to second. ORouke, batting fer Mcdonald, singled to center and Smith counted. Coombs was caught at third on Derricks s bunt in front of the plate. O'Rouke swiped third, but Clark and eaton were easy outs.
 Norton, Neill and Nation were the best the Methodists could offer. In these three players is the future of a star. Ma tion is a good pitcher, handled himself well in the box and keeps his eyes open.

MANAGER STARR HAS EIGHT GOOD HURLERS Problem of Cutting Staff to the Limit Is Facing
 Veteran

Manager Charlie Starr over in Little Rock is having a hard time in selecting
 his pitching staff for the coming season. With the arrival of LeClair in camp, the total number of pitchers in camp scared to eight and now the veteran Starr is searching of some means to pick the best five.
 The Travellers seem to have one weak spot, and that is in the pitching staff. In Hoff and Couchman, President Allen has two reliable twirlers who will go good in the Southern league Omar Hardgrove
 will not prove wonder, but will chip in
 in camp are Powell Moran, Brooks and
 Ls Clair.
 The following appeared in the Arkansas
 Gazette:
 Pitcher George LeClair, for whom the
 Travellers have been waiting since March 20, finally is in the fold. LeClair came in yesterday, 10 hours ahead of schedule,
 and started work today to get in condition
 for the opening of the season. He will not be in the best shape for two weeks, and even then may not be as fit as Man. ager Starr wants him to be before risk ing him in a game.
 'LeClair was delayed by illness of his father, whose place he had to take in a store in Farnham, Quebec. Canada, and also by fire that damaged the store. "The right-hander is the eighth pitcher in the Traveller camp, counting Larry Kirby. who Is being used in the outfield because of his hitting ability. The others are Couchman, Hardgrove, Powell, Moran Hoff and Brooks. Doubtful ones are Brooks. Moran and Powell. Starr wants two left-hanlers, and Moran may be hel6 and likely will stick anyway until the cut ting time comes, 30 days after the opening l of the season.

INSIDE" BASEBALL !. ISGULLS' PRACTICE Pilot Schmidt Satisfied With Condition of Team and Is
 Ready for Start

Manager Charley Schmidt is slowly working the Mobile Gulls into form and with the exhibition game with Spring Hill on Sunday. the Gulls played their last exhibition game Schmidt has about decided on the lineup of the Gulls for the opening day and will drill his men on a little inside stuff" from now on
 Schmidt's team is being considered by practically all of the scribes over the cir cult as the snap of the league. The former Tiger is working under this diff culty, and although it is true that he has not a single star on his team, he has lively bunch of players. The Gulls will certainly not win the rag, but they will give good account of themselves in at tempting to stay out of the cellar
 The Mobile Register tells of schmidt's preparations as follows:
 AGAINST SPRING HILL
 Manager Schmidt will use his new pitch CTS against Spring Hill, that the fans might get line on the slabbng material he has gathered since last year. Gene Moore. crack southpaw, will be given a turn on the mound, also Razor Ledbet- ter, big righthander who has shown ex- ceptionally well in spring training work. First Baseman Tennant and Wilson will be used alternately also. At the other po- sitions only one man is out for each.
 The remainder of the week will be taken up by Manager Schmidt in prepping his team for the opening contest with Char ley Franks Georgia Crackers. The Gull chief is exceedingly anxious to cop the opener and will have his men fitted to the minute for the initial struggle.
 Signal practice and inside baseball will occupy the attention of the team now and Friday, especially the former, as Manager Schmidt wants to have all his men so well drilled that there won't be any hitches or excuses once the season Is under way.

Batting honors were even, however. Watson, who played center field for the Red Sox in place of Speaker, made one single in his four times at bat.

ABILITY AND NERVE WILL WIN RAG, SAYS
 NEW ORLEANS MAN
Colonel Cluke Says Fight for Rag Will Be Decided by Endurance of Team.
 BarOns Are Weak

The usual predictions at the beginning of every baseball season are now start ing to fill the sporting sheets of almost every paper in the south. Pennant win ners have been named in the American and National leagues, but the Southern is one circuit where the definite winner has not been chosen.
 Scribes over the entire circuit concede the fight to lie between New Orleans, At lanta, Little Rock and Nashville, omit ting Birmingham for the first time Tn of years. But Birmingham and Memphis are admitted to have little, Y and the benefit of the doubt IS grafteo to the Barons and Chicks.
 Colonel Cluke, in the New Orleans Daily States, writes as follows on the of the Southern league teams for the coming season:
 Winning the Southern league pennant is going to be an unusual tough Job this year. Winning any flag is something few managers accomplish, but if the way Boss Dobbs measures the other clubs IS correct, a knockdown and dragout battle, the like of which has rarely been wit messed Tn the Soutn, VIII result poAoie 'Ao winner is determined.
 Were not going to have the cinch of last year copping the flag says Dobbs More reasons than one are advanced, the most important of which is that ln- stead of beating one club. the Pels are going to find four maybe five. oIko- nents.
 According to Dobbs' estimate, he isn't of landing at the top of the heap Of course, he's convinced the Pels are going to be in the running; ex- poets to win and all of that, he stops to remark: well not be the only live club in the league"
 Dobbs doesn't hint which club he eX- poets to most opposition from At the same time, however, he points out that there will be few weak sisters. Of the weak babies in 1915, Little Rock isn't going to be tail-ender. Atlanta, too, offers a stronger front and battle may La axspanto6 from Nashville

CHICKS STRENGTHEN TEAM BY ADDITION OF NE W PLAYER
Allison Will Not Be With the Chicks-WalIace Expected to Be a Hard Hitter,
 Team Looks Good

The addition of Jack Wallace and Bob Wright to the Memphis Chicks by a deal with the Chicago Cubs has greatly strengthened the Chicks, and they now appear to have one of the best clubs in the circuit. Wallace, the former Baron, is a good player and most dangerous pinch hitter. Shotgun will long be re- membered in Birmingham for his drives at Redwood field last season that put many game on the win column of the Barons.
 The Chicks are collecting a strong club and it appears that Dolly Stark must be watched. Last season, the Chicks had 8 strong club, but couldn't withstand the terrific strain of being pushed by the Barons and Pels and consequently cracked.
 Herbert Caldwell tells of the strength ening policy as follows:
 Further efforts toward reinforcing the Chicks for the 1916 Southern league pen nant stakes was made when Manager Stark announced that Memphis had se- cured Catcher Jack Wallace and Pitcher Bob Wright from the Chicago Cubs. Wal lace was with Birmingham last season and was drafted by the Cubs. Wright a gigantic right who towers six feet, was drafted by the Cubs from the Virginia club of the Northern league, where he won 19 games and lost 13 last season.
 Pete Allison, who center fielded for the Chicks last summer and was drafted by the Cubs, will not wear Chickasaw stock ings this summer, according to an an nouncement by Manager Stark.
 Allison, it was rumored, would return to Memphis if the Cubs let him go but all such rumors were hushed yesterday by Manager Stark. Pete is bound to the Cubs with an iron clad contract calling Tor a yearly stipend which the Memphis club did not see fit to pay Pete, and Pete will have to chase flies elsewhere than in Red Elm bottom this summer.
 STARK PLEASED
 Stark stated yesterday that with Chad bourne, who was with the Kansas City Feds last season, Midkiff, Knisely and Sharman he was perfectly satisfied with his outfield and Allison would not be missed. Chadbourne is expected to ar rive in camp Monday morning.
 The acquisition of Wallace settles the backstopping problem as far as a first string catcher is concerned, but prom lSeS to bring about merry little battle between Mike Andreen and Muddy Ruel for the job as helpmate to Wallace.
 Wallace is expected to considerably strengthen the Chicks. Last season witk Birmingham he hit. 254 and fielded .95S but several times he contributed hits that turned out runs and the prediction is that he should hit better this season than last He is good fielder and brainy catcher and can stand up under labor.
 Wright according to baseball writers travelling with the Cubs should make the

Kisses for Charity

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
 Nearly all the youth of the neighbor- hood attended the charity bazaar, and one by one they drifted to stall where a tiny, shapely. scented gray kid glove reposed on satin cushion. Attached to the cushion was notice, written in a delicate feminine hand, which ran:
 ''The owner of this glove will, at 7:3O this evening, be pleased to kiss any per- son who purchases ticket beforehand ?
 Tickets were purchased by the score, and at 7:30 long row of young men as- sembled outside the stall.
 Then, punctual to the moment, old Tom Porscn, the local butcher who weighs 200 pounds, and Is almost as beautiful as a side of bacon, stepped to the front of the stall.
 Now, young gents.'' he said, ''this ere glove belongs to me. bought it this morning. Now I'm ready for you. Come oh! Don't be bashful! One at a time.''

MEMPHIS A CONTENDER

Memphis can be figured contender if Dolly Stark manages the club. Of course if the Chicks are run by board of direc- tors, the bump is off. Acquisition of Paulette, Midkiff and Walsh ought to help some, but then Stark Is an unknown quantity as a foreman. As for fighting spirit Dolly is overloaded. but this isn't fstic encounter.
 Birmingham doesn't seem quite as strong as year ago. The infield, Me Donald, Lindsay, Clark and Dersck will hardly suit Rick Woodward. McDon- aid is year older, necessarily a trifle slower. And as for Derrick, he's a Coast star, and we've seen too many fence busters from the Golden West to take 10 per cent of them seriously.
 Chattanooga and Mobile if given help, will raise a little racket occa sionally. Elberfeld's club looks like comic sup plement. As for the so-called $5O,0OO in- field of which 'Nooga Kauff's scribble, there doesn't seem enough room for play CTS of the Harris, Pitler, Graff outfit in the league.
