BUSCH HAS WIRE
 MAKERS IN SHAPE

With only a few days of practice, Man. ager Ed Busch is well pleased with the showing of the American Steel and Wire company baseball candidates. The squad of 20 men has only been in action few times, but some look good on the com rany's newly improved diamond.
 Capt. Guy Click, last seasons second. sa cker, is again on the scene and prom
 ses to be equally as valuable as last season when as captain of the A. S. & w. team he proved to be one of the fastest infielders in the league.
 Cook the Birmingham college athlete, and a good man behind the bat last sea son, has signed again and will, no doubt, be the first string catcher, although Woodward is giving the veteran run for his money.
 Harmon, the spt-ball artist, is slowly rounding into form, but will make ef- fectve twirler when his arm becomes sea soned. Hardin, the elongated south paw is showing good stuff and will add much to Manager Busch's aggregation
 Albert and Durham, who played first and third last season, and who have been with Ensley High school, are both back on the American Steel and Wire diamond Albert is already in good form and will make a good man for the initial sack. Durham fields we'll but is still weak in hlS hlttlng, WnlCn ne VIII pfODaply over come before the season is under way.
 Ed Lewis, the Ensley High outfielder, is well in line for another berth with the Wire Mill, but is not yet at his best with the stick. Scott, from the T. c. I. and Clark are both showing up wei in the outer garden and will make things lively for the outfield recruits. Havis, Shoshone and Mosely are three new men that are working hard for places in the infeld. Morriston and Mcclure are two new men trying for outfield positions and I will doubtlessly be given a tryout In the | opening game Saturday.
 1 The company has expended a neat little 1 sum or the ball diamond and has suc- 1 ceeded in making it the best in the dis | trict With such support as the company ! is lending. together with the efforts O. Manager Busch and his squad the Amer 1 ican Steel and Wire bunch should start l the season with a jump and make things l lively for pennant contenderS of the
