Auburn will have a good hitting short stop for the first time since George Moulton left. Second base will be well looked after by "Bull' Collins, who was prominently mentioned for allsouthern second baseman last year, and who hit well over 300 last season. Third base should develop a lively scrap between Tanner of last years squad and Jack Wynne who was member of the 1914 baseball team. Both of these men are exceptionally good hitters and the one that fails to make third will most prob- ably land in the outfield.
 There are number of outfield can didates, and they can hit. DuCote from Spring Hill was one of the best hit ters in prep circles last season. Steed hit around .290 last season at Auburn and should be better than ever. Either Wynne or Tanner should hit around 300. Then there is Pete" Bonner with @ terrific wallop and Prendergast, who is enc of the surest "fly chasers" in the business.
 With these men practically known assets and several new men who in the general law of averages should appear for practice, Auburn can count on Donahue turning out a winning team and one that will be a strong contender for the championship.
 The schedule for the season follows:
 March 31-Apri1 1, Marion, in Marion, (pending).
 April 7-S, University of Georgia in Auburn.
 April 14-15, Georgia Tech in Atlanta.
 April 2122, Mississippi A. & M in Auburn.
 April 26-27. Mercer university in Macon, Ga.
 May 5-6 Clemson in Clemson.
 May 12-13, University of Florida in Auburn.

DIXIE WALKER IS NOT ABLE ID SEE
 J0HNNY'S OFFER
Bean Ball Artist Announces That He Has Quit the Game for Good-Sal-
 aries Are Too Small

Dixie Walker, one of the best pitch league and formerly member Of the twirling staff of New Orleans and later of Cleveland, has quit the na- tional pastime for good. The former Pelican recently successfully stood an operation on his throat and this trou- ble is the direct cause of his retire. ment.
 Dixie, whose real name is Roy, is a good, reliable man. He was the main stay of Johnny Dobbs' clan for several years, and when he received promotion |, to Cleveland, made good in rush. Dixie had some hard luck, but made a favorable impression on the man. agers as well as the scribes around the Johnson circuit.
 But Dixie failed to get along with Joe Birmin gham's successor, Jim Me Guire, and didn't exert his best eff forts. But this was nothing unusual. It can be truthfully stated that hardly member of the Cleveland team did get along with Mcclure. As a result, Dixie, together with numerous other
 
 lease at the close of the season.
 Dixie didn't worry, for he knew that he was just as good as ever and re- turned to his home in Nashville. His throat then began to give him trou- ble and only short time ago he un- derwent the operation. Being a good friend of Dobbs and Heinemann of New Orleans, Dixie naturally offered the Pels the first 'shot" at his serv- ices.
 Heinemann promptly sent the Nash vile twirler a contract but at a low figure and Dixie turned it down rather than play at such a low salary. And there were other reasons besides my health that are making me quit the game" said Dixie in a stS tement in the Nashville Banner to Bob Pigue "The salary limit in the Southern league now is such that none of the good ball players are to receive the money they should, and can't af- ford to play ball for the salary that has been offered me. I am Q free agent, and had thought about signing with New Orleans. where I have rlayed for sometime. However, Johnny Dobbs' of fer wasn't as big as I thought it should have been, so I decided to let the game go for good and always"
 Proxy Heinemann of the Pels, who is the official "hot-air artist" of the south, talks in a rather peculiar man ner about the possibility of Dixie quit ing. ''Walker is a great pitcher, and we hate to lose him. said the Pel pres- ident but if it is on the advice of his physicians that he is giving up the game he could not sensibly do other wise"
 Walkers absence from the game will be missed, as he was regarded as one of the best men, personally and on the field in the Southern league.

SERIES SHOU[Db BE
 PLAYED ID DECIDE
 CITY CHAMPIONSHIP
The B. A. C. and Y. M. C. A. Should Arrange Series to Determines Title Holder
 of Basketball Crown

Basketball fans in Birmin gham are hoping that the championship of the city will be fully determined before the close of the present season. Only two teams can be considered in this pro- posed series, the Birmingham Athletic club and the Young Mems Christian as- sociation.
 For the past several years, the reign of the B. A. c. for the city champion ship has been undisputed with the ex- ception of last year. The B. A. c. has always been chased as the best team in the district and usually one of the best in the south.
 But this year another team sprang into consideration. It Is the Y. M. c. A. By their victory over the Columbus Y. M. c. A. it was recognized that they had a good claim for the south ern title, which is, at the present in a complete upheaval. Atlanta Athletic club, B. A. C., Columbus and the local Y. M. c. A. have good claim for the first honors
 But back to the question of the city championship. Such series would be welcomed by basketball fans and, al- though not probable, it is possible. The B. A. c. and the Y. M. c. A. have not met for numbers of years, and the supremacy of either organization has not been tested lately. There is no reason why the two teams should not meet. There is no hard feelings ex- isting between the two institutions, and series of games would be the only method of deciding the question:.
 Authorities of neither institution will not be quoted but if the plan was pro- posed by either it would most probably be accepted. If negotiations are once opened, it will mean that there will be series for the city championship.
 The popularity of these games can be demonstrated by the series last year. The Nespor Recreation Stars had gained prominence for their playing, and were defeated in two consecutive games. The attendance at these games was almost a capacity house, showing their drawing power.
 A series should be arranged and the dispute that will come up later on this question can be avoided. It's cinch it won't hurt the game, and fans would certainly welcome 1t.

Preceding on up the Atlantic coast, North Carolina is reached, and there two noble Barons are located. Bill Lindsay is at Madison, said to be in the insurance business. Charlie Carroll is at Durham, where he recently married the "best girl in the world" Charlie helped make Durham famous together with several tobacco firms
 And then. Birmingham Is reached to find Dannie Clark, a populace of Me- ridian, Miss, Cecil Coombs and Bur leigh Grimes all in attendance. Dan nie spends most of the winter playing ball in New Orleans, while Coombs is brakeman on a passenger train run ming from Atlanta to Birmingham Grimes works at the steel mill as fore man of a gang in testing rails.
 A variety of occupations do the Bar ons represent, but they all manage to live and prosper throughout the year. They are a great group of men and a bunch of mighty good fellows, includ- ing all. W

Bisland Case Occupies League
Heard by the Early Bird
By JACK BETHEA

pilot has had glowing reports of both youngsters, but is not worrying, as he has Charley Carroll to fill the gap if the situation becomes serious.
 This ought to be a great baseball year says Moley, and he is lookini for records to drop in the Southern league. Last year was a, lean year in baseball, but with the Federal more reigning in Dixie there will be plenty of kale to cop.
 Larue Kirby. the hard hitting out fielder secured by Little Rock and formerly with Mobile, may be seen in the box this year. Fielder Jones of the Browns told President Allen of Little Rock that Kirby's arm was once more in shape and that by the beginning of the season he would be ready to pitch once more.
 No matter how many salary limit scandals have flashed across the Armament of the Southern league. none has ever touched Birmingham. Baron owners give Molesworth just one order-"keep under the lmit"- and in all other directions he goes as far as he likes.
 Knoxville, which for a time was looked upon as a possible successor to Mobile in this circuit, may get berth in the Blue Grass league. It is to be doubted if the Tennessee town could support Class A ball. Later on, perhaps, but hardly now.
 Managar Frank of Atlanta will take his Crackers to Valdosta, Ga, to fit them for the coming fray. Frank has attached unto himself g figure who will be remembered in Birmingham with esteem-Harry Matthews-who was first catcher under Harry Vaughn in 1906, the year Dad copped the pen nant by introducing the squeeze play

This Bisland may not be so bright, after all. It begins to look as if he is between the well known gentleman in red and the equally well known deep blue sea.
 This Bisland affair has so many an- gles and is such good stuff that Southern league scribes are playing it both ways from the ace. It is the ruling sensation of the circuit and has started a nunlber of little side fights
 Among these may be mentioned the mud-slinging contest caused by the Little Rock correspondent of the Sporting News taking a fling at Chat tanooga over the Bisland case. It was a case of you tell on me and I'll tell on you
 Incidentally, the Tabasco Kid lost no time in going out and getting him. self shortfielder to take the place of Rivington Bisland. He has cap- tured Bowman, with he Jacksonville club in the South Atlantic league last year. Bowman is touted as being the best in the Sally circuit
 For Jacksonville he batted 266, was fast on the bases and has a good arm, being able to get em away from any position. If he can hit, he ought to be good in the Southern It's cinch he will give better service than a dis satisfied star and Elberfield is wise in making the change.
 The shortfield is a position over which local fans are speculating. Molesworth has O'Rourlle and Caton from the New York State and Ohio State leagues, respectively. Tine Baron
