HENDERSON-BER BOUT NO MATCH"
Marvel Dislocates His Shoulder On the
 Second Fall

Mort Henderson, the Masked Mar vel" met Wilhelm Berner. German
 champion last night in a wrestling apparently pleased the fans assembled to the number of some 300.
 The match would have been more ex- citing had there been more doubt as to the outcome. Henderson was so pal pably a better wrestler than the Ger man that when he gave up to ham, mer lock after 25 minutes it caused con siderable comment.
 The two men gave a pretty exhibi- an uproar for the better part of an hour. The first fall went to Tender son after 32 minutes of mat work and
 was won with half nelson and a
 crotch. Henderson looked as if he weighed 25 pounds more than the Ger man, but, the scales showed 215 for Hen- derson and 205 for the German. So per- fectly is the latter proportioned that he gives the impression of a small man until one is close to him. Henderson had the height, but was less quick than his opponent.
 When the two wrestlers went to the mat the hard work began immediately. Henderson did not exert himself to any great extent, playing a waiting game and allowing the German to wear him. self down. After 32 minutes of work the Marvel secured his half nelson and later the crotch and put the German s shoulders to the mat.
 There was brief internission and again the fun began. The German again broke ground and was on the offen- sive the better part of the match. Hen derson worried not, having demonstrated that he could put the German to the mat when he chose.
 After 20 minutes of work the German got a hammer lock, which Henderson, after enduring for a minute or two. broke deliberately. A few seconds later the German got another hammer lock. Apparently Henderson could have broken it as easily as before, but he did not
 chose to do it and in a few moments he was unable to do it. He stood up under the punishment for perhaps three minutes and then gave the fall to the German.
 Henderson then announced that his left shoulder was dislocated.
 A doctor was called from the audience and pronounced that there had been a partial dislocation and advised Tender son not to continue the match. Tender son offered to continue to wrestle with one hand but the crowd declined his offer and 1t was declared no match and all bets off.
 It is understood that Henderson de- manded his money before he would go to the mat with the German. The preliminaries were enjoyable. Ben nett downed McCroy, while Candy de- feated White. The latter match was the best of the two JACK BEIHEA.

SCHMIDT IS BUILDING TEAM OF ENTIRELY NEW MEN FOR GULLS
Every Man On Infield Will Be New Player. Manager Schmidt
 Feels Confident

Manager Charley Schmidt is collecting an entirely new group of players at Mo- bile to weather the 1916 season. Schmidt had fired or released practically every member of last years team, which had a most disastrous season
 The infield especially will be new one, while fin the outfield one new man will make his appearance Two pitche rs and catcher will also appear for the first time in Gull uniform The follow ing from the Mobile Item tells of the prospects of the Gulls under Schmidt leadership.
 An entirely new infeld. one new man ir the outffeld, at least two new pitchers and one new catcher will be seen when Manager Schmidt lines up his Mobile Guls on April 14 at Monroe park or the open ing of the 1916 season. Practically an entirely new team will represent this city, Manager Schmidt having gathered players from all points in an effort to get together winning combination.
 Nine pitchers will report for spring practice. Among the old men rett--rin.- will be Jeff Holmquist, Lefty Town send and Tex Covington. The new men will be Gene Moore. left-hander from the Texas league, who comes highly rec ommended Ledbetter, a right-handei drafted from the Carolina league; Wiley from the South Atlantic; Pug Cavet well known to local fans, and -.4cAlexan- der and Rose, two semi-pro. twirlers.
 NEW MAN ON FIRST
 At first base Manager Schmidt will try out Wilson, man from the Daven- port club of the Three league He is right-hand hitter and thrower and comes to this city with good reputation At second Whalem, a youngster from the Western league, will be given a. chance to make good; at third, Broom wich from the Three I league has the job without opposition. At short Dobard. who is holding out, and Waldron from the South Atlantic, will fight it out for the regular berth. Holt Mcdowell and Mike Burke are certainties for two of the outfield positions, while Wilcox, from the New York State league, will likely fill tile remaining berth. To aid him in the backstop work Manager Schmidt has signed Charley Shell, formerly witt the Memphis Chicks and is negotiatins. for still another catcher who will likely come to Mobile in trade with Texas league club invovling Hub Northern
 Clayton Perry. Calhoun and flick will be sold or traded. The latter has asked that he be transferred to the Pacific coast owing to his wife's health and his re- quest will be granted.
 The players began reporting Wednes- day. This date was set as reporting date when contracts were sent out. From that date on things will move rapidly at Monroe park, where the playing field is now being put in shape for the athletes.
