MITCHELL WORKING TRACK MEN HARD Keen Competition in Make Up of the Y. M. c. A.
 Relay Team


 The thinly clad warriors of the Y. M. c. A. track team are getting down to hard work. The past weeks training has consisted of starts for the sprinters and endurance for the distance men. J. r. Muller, a quarter miller and broad jumper, became a member of the squad last week, and Coach Mitchell is pleas sed with the appearance of this young ath- lete. Muller is from New Orleans, hav- ing competed in the meets at that place as a mernb CT of the Y M. c. C. There is going to be keen competition in the makeup of the relay team; Me- Cullough, Poe, Coughlin, Candy, Goodall, Lange, Muller, Smith, Edwards are all good at the 40 distances.
 Chisholm Goodall, Miller and Iange will look after the jumps, and the distance runs will be taken care of by Walker, Bethea, Stapleton. Smith, Densler, Con- norS and Baker.
 A meeting will be held one day next week to select a captain of the team. This will probably be on Monday after the practice.
 Coach Mitchell is planning to have a number of meets during the early sum- mer.

 The Pel boss doesn't eliminate the Chickasaws, Travellers, Crackers or Barons. Molesworth's pitching staff will help him a lot, while the other clubs look pretty good to the Pel leader. Dobbs differs with the opinion of many that Atlanta isn't strong enough to make g. big racket Frank has 8 good hitting club and will be heard from later on,'' he says, "and while I am not trying to make any particular team look cheap, can't see the other two clubs that seem unusu- ally weak at present"
 Molesworth is chary of predictions,a but he allows that with Meusel in tine outf1eld and the pitching staff going good, the Barons will win lot of ball games. And that is our opinion, too.

There is a silver lining to every

There is silver lining to every cloud.
 In this case it is the showing of Robertson. In his previous starts Robby has been forced to signal for assistance and has been removed from the box, but against the Pels yesterday he made a showing that will be encouraging to his ad- mirers.
 It is true that the Barons lost the game, but they threw scare into the Pels in the ninth when two runs were pushed across. The final necessary punch to push the load over the hill was not forthcoming, however, and the Pels made it four from Moley's crew.
 It is somewhat remarkable that although the Barons have played five games at Redwood they have not lost a single encounter there this season. This augurs well for the home stay beginning tomor- row when the Crackers will be en- tertained for three days followed by the same birds.
 It will be interesting to observe the showing of the Barons against the Pels on the home lot. In New Orleans we have not been able to do a thing with Johnny Dobbs' crew, but we have hunch that it. will be different here. Mo1ey ought to cop all three Of the games with the Crackers to make up what happened to him in Georgia.
 Red Smith was behind the bat yesterday and was there as usual with the stick stuff He started the rally in the ninth that had the Pels pop-eyed before it was over. Red singled sharply to left and Bobby made valiant effort to win his own game with his scream ing double to the left field fence, scoring the catcher. Mcdonald dropped one over first base and Bobby counted. Caton popped to Knaupp and Mcdonald was forced at second when Thomas gathered in Coombs' grounder after Clark had put another in Cotton's fists. Charley Schmidt's club is in a hard way, dropping another to Atlanta yesterday after New Orleans and Bir- ham had made a clean sweep of their series. Nashville came through with another victory, Herbert outpitching Couchman, the Vols winning over the Travellers. by score of to 5. Each team made nine hits, but the Ellam ties punched theirs in the seventh and pushed over five runs.

 Cholly Frank is an ardent advocate of starting the Southern league sea- son around May instead of fin the middle of April. Cholly figures that the early start gives New Orleans and Mobile an advantage in tIe matter of training which it takes other teams sometime to overcome
 There is net 9. team in the South ern league with the exception of New Orleans that is in shape said the Dutchnan while here Friday, land this is due principally to the weather. would advocate starting the season somewhat later, so that all the clubs may have a. chance to get away to a good start Even if a team goes away for training the effectes of it are lost i. on returning home. We went to Val uosta this year and I don't think 1t did much good. Last year the Barons went to Orlando and had the same ex- pericnce. New Orleans has the ad- vantage not Cnlg on account of better weather, but has a longer time to practice. At the next league meet ing intend to bring up this point and ask for action.''
 Johnny Dobbs is beginning to get rid of his superfluous material and there is considerable of 1t that will be grabbed eagerly by other Southern league teams. Massey has already been sent to Mobile. and it is possi- ble that Charley Schmidt may hang on to Eschen, the speedy youngster that has been displaced to Sylvester. Jack Stansburg has been shifted to short and Fred Thomas takes the third station to plug the hole. Stans- bury, it is believed. will make a much more dependable player than Massey, although the latter will be welcome addition to the Mobile club, as Clancy was pretty green. The Pei outfield this year will probably be Allison, Sylvester and Edmondson. This is a mighty combination and the other teams will have to hustle to get men equal to this trio.
 If Johnny Dobbs' figures on the pen nant race materialize, the Pelicans are going to battle 1t out all season with Nashville for the championship. According to the way Dobbs dopes out the strength of the different clubs, Roy Ellam has the best balanced ag- gregation. of course, the Pels ex- cepted. and will be right near the top all the season.

would consider an amendment to make the raise $100 and the salary $2,0e0. Alderman Parker presented the amendment and it was adopted with out dissent.
 Woods Gets Raise.
 One other salary matter called for debate. The recommendation of the salary committee to raise the salary of Assisting Prosecuting Attorney J. C. Woods to $4OO was opposed by Coun- cilman Pohlman. Wlo moved to table until the next regular meeting. It was explained that this would throw it over to the next fiscal year. The mo- tion to table was lost and Councilman POhlman said he was opposed to the increased because it was not based on the ten per cent. plan. It was an 9O per cent. raise, and was not fair to the taxpayers. Councilman Landcrs said the increase was fair and spoke of the meager salary now paid.
 Councilman Wagner of the salary committee said the committee had carefully considered the petition. It was shown the salary now amounts to but seventy cents a day. The commit tee thought MT. Woods entitled to $400. Councilman Curtis said few years ago it had been planned to raise this salary, but it fell through and somebody else got the boost. The prosecuting attorney is paid Sl,5OO a year but this salary is less than one fifth of that. They should consider the value of the office and the work done. The report Of the committee was accepted.
