lot of money in court fighting for Burk' S services. The thing dragged along until the peace meeting. Indianapolis, claim ing to be unable to pay Burk's salary. offered President Ed Gwinner of the Pittsburg Feds clear title to him for $S00 and said they would withdraw the suit.
 Mir. Gwinner. who had been empowered to sell all the players to which he had title, pondered over Burk's value and offered $3G0. The Indianapolis club argued that it required more than that to settle the expenses of litigation and tried to E fix 1t at $500. ~'
 FLIP OF COIN DECIDED IT
 'All right" replied Gwinner. "I'll flip a coin to see whether you get $500 or $5OO''
 Talk about the luck of millionaire! Gwinner Tipped a quarter and called the toss. He signed a check for $500 and ob- tained Burk.
 Ffrst-year pitchers often are terrors to the best of hitters. Al Demaree, now with the Phillies, was tough puzzle when he came up from Mobile in 1913. Jack Miller aptly described him when he referred to Demaree as "the guy with the Ralph Rose delivery" Demaree looked for all the world like shot-putter when he pitcher, and he beat us six times that year with his delivery.
 A liberal display of pepper and the desire to show hustling qualities have won berth for many a recruit. A Michigan high school boy named Alten- berg threw confusion into our training camp last spring with the greatest show of ginger and pep I ever saw in a rookie" He was a gentlemanly little fellow, but fought like a tiger to make good and accomplished the jump from high school to the majors. So deadly in earnest was this lad in a game that he respected nobody and would fight any man on either team. Fred Clarke was umpiring one afternoon when Atty started to score from second on short hit. The play at the plate was close and the manager-umpire yelled:
 You're out"
 r I'm not out, you big robber,e cried Atty, springing to his feet.
 The lad abused Clarke terribly and danced around him threateningly, while Fred only looked down at him and smiled until Atty cooled down and real ized that he was talking to This boss Altenberg did not make the team, but it wasn't because of his affront to Clarke Fred took a liking to his spirit, and one of the last official acts of the retired manager was to have the Michigan pep per-box signed for retrial this season.

 SELECTIONS FOR THIRD TEAM
 Davidson of Vanderbilt and Smith of Ala bama win positions as forwards on third team mainly for their ability on long shots and good passing. They have but feeble opposition.
 Massey of Columbus Y. M. c. A., one of the oldest players in point of service in action in the south, is awarded cen ter and captain. Although as years progress, tho veteran grows weaker on 5uCOIlHs, HIS eGperleHco dHu pusrIiiH make him of invaluable service to any team. Petway of the Nashville Ram blers and Brockhouse of the Chattanooga Y. M. c. A. are selected as guards, the former to do the running. With these players in form, they would complete the third of the all-star casts that hold the eye of Dixie fans.

HAVE UNCANNY SPELL

Pitchers will go along for years and have an uncanny spell against a cer- tain club or pitcher Matty and Ad- ans both found the Reds easy prey, and Matty, as understand it, did not lose a game to them for many~years. It was the same with Babe until the last two seasons. but the big right handler now has his hands full with the Redlegs.
 Adams for years had peculiar hunch that he could not lose to Arthur Fromme Fromme was good pitcher and registered some of the best pitched defeats in history, but Adams was his Nemesis.
 I don't think he ever. won game from Babe while with Cincinnati, though I would not say that he was always outpitched. On May 3. 1913, Fromme held us to one hit and lost his game 1 to 0. Adams made the Fromme had walked man. But Tromme beat Adams one day for the Giants. and with the big chap gone from the Reds, Babe no longer seemed to have the Cincinnati club jinxed
 Fromme also had the Indian sign on my old friend Chief Meyers of the Giants. In the many years that the Indian faced the Rhineland pitcher. he made only one hit. and that was two- bagger off the handle, which reminds me of my identical experience with old Jack Taylor.
 Al Mamaux. like Covaleslsie and Drucke, found one team his easy vic tim before he won his spurs. and that was Philadelphia. Clarke started him one day in the spring of 1914 and Ma maux shut them out. He was tried in one or two other games during the year, but showed nothing out of the ordinary excepting in two later appearances against the Phillies, when he shut then, out again. Last season. however, this product of the home heath played no favorites, and if he takes care of him. self. he will be one of the best pitchers of the generation to take the place of the ones who are passing.
 Sanford Burk. former Cardinal, was another chap like Walter Dickson Drucke and others who could beat the Pirates when he could not win from any other club. Burk figured in peculiar transaction last December while organ ized ball and the Feds were burying the hatchet The Pittsburg Federals and the Indianapolis club had been spendin6 (

With the bases full in the ninth and two out, the score nothing -noth ing, and Babe, a good hitter up, he singled to center, scoring the winning run, but didn't run to first. We woke him up before the third out could be made and he laughed and said:

 The manager of a club often is con demned for not giving a youngster a better show. He cannot very well go along for three or more years and eX- has not shown anything. McGraw may regret ever letting Dick Rudolph go, but figure the percentage in the hun dred or so that he has tried and dis carded and the apparent hopeless ones that he converted into good pitchers. Pitchers are more apt to fool managers in their first year and decline. They seldom come back after one furry.
 Ordinary looking pitchers have been sidetracked only later to prove great through the fact that a manager could not experiment with them enough, and they showed no outward or natural signs of being corners. Tn the past five years Fred Clarke disposed of about 70 recruits, mostly pitchers, fol- OWihe SPfAA8 u lAd2hAAS. OAAy tAlCS OA these ever returned to the majors to stick. They are Urban Faber of the Chicago White SoX, Sherrod Smith of the Brooklyn Dodgers, and Bert Neil hoff of the Phillies.
 At mention of Lou Drucke, the Pi- rates act about the way the Giants perform when some unkind person re- calls the feat of Cova1eskie, the Giant tanner. The only thing CovaleslSie ever did until he made good with Detroit seven years later, dates back to 1908, when he downed the Giants in three games and pitched them out of pen nant.
 Drucke. like Covaleskie. passed into obscurity after having a circus with the Buccaneers, though he was unable to beat anybody else. The big young ster came up from Texas in 1912 and McGraw sent him against us regularly as he couldn't find any other club on the circuit that DruclSe could beat Drucke was finally let go. since Me- Graw had other pitchers who could beat us.

The mythical all-southern basketball stars, would present one of the most effective basketball teams that ever per formed on a southern court, not so much in individual playing, but in team work. Players who have won fame and dis tinction for their wonderful work this season make up the five and their selec- ton Is almost unanimous by southern basketball fans.
 The increasing popularity of basketb all and the large number of teams that now bid for southern honors from year to year gave an overflow of candidates and the lack of material cannot be a source of complaint. Stars are in abundance, but several players stand out clearly.
 A players ability must be judged by his work throughout the season and not in any one particular game. His value to his team and the consistency with which he plays must also be cc--' --nd Personal feeling should not enter into the argument. The writer Is governed by these conditions and has tried to make the selections free from partiality.
 Then first team or the best five play CTS in Dixie would form wonderful combination. Any coach with the small est amount of ability could take these veterans and whip them into an aggre- gation that would give the strongest team in America fit competition The five is not composed of any Hercules, but players of skill, players that have been In the game long enough to understand it thoroughly, which did much to win them a place on the honored five.

Rockies have numerous ups and
 downs during their usually short stay
 in the majors, but with these comes
 short period of joy and learning.
 Rockies and bushers, who usually come
 under the same heading and are about
 the same, are not as green as some
 people would term them, Even the
 smartest and the oldest of old vet erana are sometimes showed up'' by some recruit. f
 Rockies cause the loss of many a
 game during the early part of the sea-
 son and fall in for their part of abuse from managers, players and umpires.
 They may be run off the field by tho
 umpire, hear a lot of the managers
 advice as we'll as many of the play
 ers but still they are we'll liked. The majority of tho bushers have good attitude toward the spirit of the vets to the mand this is one reason for their popularity.
 BUSHER NOT ALWAYS DESP1SED So 1t will be seen that the "busher" Is not always to be despised. Seldom in my career have I been caught off first base and it generally required some quick 
 left-hander to get me or a catcher to trap
 me on pitchout. But found my match in an exhibition game last spring down in Arkansas and recruit certainly made
 me look bad. Ee is ''Daazy' Vance, a young pitcher who will be with tho
 Yankees this year, and who was tried out by Pittsburg last spring. He halls from Red Cloud, Neb., and played with
 St. Joe.
 In the ninth inning of the game walked and the Regulars needed the run I danced off first and drew five or six throws. The crowd was 5awing at Vance to pitch and he had thrown so often that I took longer lead. He set himself with most determined view of pitching. I sneaked off the bag only a few feet, his snap throw caught me flat footed, and the game ended against us few seconds later. Mistakes are common, even with the big fellows and the "bones' are not always pulled in the. minors. The

FORBES FOR OTHER FORWARD

The other forward position must go to Forbes of the Atlanta Athletic club. who is unquestionably the best long shot in the south. He has deadly eye for the basket and would prove a capable part ner for McGowan. Forbes seldom cov- CTS the court, but he always man --~s to be open when a shot is fin view With McGowdan great on the short shots and Forbes equally as good on the long ones, this pair would give the best guards in the country all or more than all they could handle.
 The center position. and perhaps the most important on the team goes to Walter Dubard. also of the Atlanta Ath- letic club. Dubard, in addition to being one of the cleanest players in the game. Is also without a peer at his position.
 Tall and rangy, he can get the knockoff or any center in the south, besides be- ing dangerous score maker' and a
 prominent figure in pass work of any nature.
 Guards are plentiful but the two best. although by narrow margin, are Biscoe Seals of the Birmingham Athletic club. and "Pie" Wagner of the Atlanta Ath- letic club. This pair would complete a
 wonderful team. well balanced in every
 respect. Both Seals and Weaver can &C.,
 custom themselves to any kind of game.
 Both are good shots fine passers and

 completes the all-star five. It would be
 a great team. for it's ability at shoot ing passing, teamwork and fighting spirit. These qualifications go to make
 the player and the team.

MCGOWAN WITHOUT PEER

The captain and one or the forwards on the team is player who is without a peer in southern basketball. He is one of the cleanest athletes who ever performed on a southern court. Birming- ham has the proud honor to claim this star and veteran of the cage game. He is no other than Tommy McGowan, cap tain and forward on the Birmingham Athletic club five. Tommy is not a man of brawn, although he Is by no means a weakling. He possesses renarn..- le skill in every department. His ability son more than any other he has success fully withstood the test. Tommy is not a player who performs for the audience, but he plays to win and the sport of the game.
 Basketball writers all over the south where Tommy has appeared have praised his work and many have named him as the pest player produced in the south land in years. He passes excellently and as dribbler has no superior in the south. Tommy's lone weak spot is on long shots, but this hardly ever comes to the eye of the spectator, as he passes at every opportunity and seldom shoots himself. His dangerousness to the oppo- nent is his ability to inspire the team, together with his dribbling and rapid-fire short shots that have brought victory after victory to the local club. He has fighting spirit that is wonderful. Talk ing all of these characteristics that mari, finished player into consideration, mo- where in Dixie is an equal to Tommy Me Gowan found.
