HUMAN ELEMENT IN ACCIDENTS.

Close observers are not astounded
by the statement made at safety"
meeting that 10 per cent only of in
dustrial accidents are due to machine
failures, the remaining 80 per cent
being wholly chargeable to "man-
failure" Students, however, will not
be satisfied with the simple state
ment, but will want to know some
thing more, especially as to condi-
tons that contribute to this appalling
~ large percentage charged directly
to mans share in the fault. 1t will
not do TO say that in each instance
wantOn carelessness is blamabla.
says Omaha Bee. Psychologists are
no longer content with that explana.
ton, but are going deeper into the
causation Of accidents, seeking to de-
termine just why the normal mental
processes at times break and the in
terrupted coordination between brain
and body ends in disaster. In the mat
ter of interpreting railway signals, for
example, it has been set up that reg
istered impressions vary as TO individ-
uals, and that likewise individuals re-
act in different ways to the impress
sions given. Emergencies invariably
arise in the operations of modern in
dustry similar to those in the trans
portatlon service, and, while the safety
device may work with mechanical ac-
curacy, the human factor cannot be
depended upon.

has always been swatter. He started
his professional baseball career in 1903
with the Decatur, ILL.,, club in the Three
Eye league. In 1910 he played with Dam
vile in the same circuit. In 1911 he again
played with Danville but went to Peoria
in 1912. The following year saw Cecil
with Adrian, in the South Michigan
league. He played with Fay City, Mich,
in the following year until August l.
when he was bought by the Chicago
White Sox for major league try-out. He
hit over .360 in all these years.
Cecil didn't make good with the Sox,
and the following year he was with the
Moleys. And here he still remains, only
much improved ball player.
Cecil is a married man and has one lit
tie girl. He has been married for 10
years. He was born in Moweaqua, ILL.,,
little town about 10 miles from Chicago,
and only a few miles from Decatur and
Danville, the two towns in which he start
ed his professional diamond career.
Cecil calls Birmingham his home now.
He is here the year round. During the
winter months. when baseball talk gets
a little dusty, he turns back to railroad
ing, his old profession. He is brake
man.
Now Cecil says If the old jnx doesn't
get after him he will show the fans in
Dixie how to clout the pill. We believe
Cecil knows what he's talking about. and,
anyway, our hopes lie in that direction.

few Baron fans think that the out

Cecil Coombs, who has chased skyers in

year Cecil started off like a whirlwind,
then encountered a bit of hard luck and
when the season closed he was playing
only mediocre game.
A 'charleyhorse" proved his downfall
last season and Cecil is using every pre-
caution to guard against such injury this
eason. He wants to show fans in Dixie
that he can do what he has done-that

been in.
Cecil hasn't any competition for a berth

SPORTS
VOLSDEPENDING ON
CHICAGO FOR TEAM
ELAN Has Only One Out
fielder of Last Years
Star Trio

Nashvilles ball fans have deep seated
suspicion that their Vols are not going to
repeat. They are fearful that Roy ELAN
cant get together quite so good a club
as he had last season, and they are wise
enough to know that Roy scratched in
last season because he had rare luck in
keeping his flock together all the year.
while teams like New Orleans and At
lanta, which should have given him
lot Of trouble. were continually shot to
pieces.
ELAN, it is said, is relying almost en-
tirely on the chance that the Chicago
Cubs will slip him something good in
the way of a pair of outfielders. That's
where the Vols are shy right now. They
lost their two best outfielders, Billy Lee
and Gus williams, through sale and draft,
Lee going to the coast via st. Louis. and
williams going to Louisville.
Lee and williams were the two clas-
siest individuals the pennant winning
Vols boasted last season. They came
very near being the two best outhelders,
all things figured, in the league, though
Lee hit far below his uYal mark
The only outfielder of proven ability
left to ELAN is Howard Baker, and 1t
was all planned for Baker to hunt an
other job this season But they won't
send him on the search until the other
gaps are filled and there's a reasonable
chance Of filling the one he'd leave.
ELAN, they say. is hanging around
the telegraph office all the time hoping
to get a message from Fred Mitchell in
far-off Los Angeles to the effect that
whole and complete 300 hitting outfieid is
on it's way to Nashville.

WADUCT CONTRACT
IS AGREED UPON
Commissioner Barber In
sists on Changes in Minor
Points of Contract

All provisions in the viaduct contract,
as far as it relates to the city, have
been agreed upon.
The contract was presented to the COM
mission and the counsel for the railroads
at 10 O. clock yesterday morning. For
more than three hours Arlie Barber took
exception to the wording of the draft.
The points at issue were minor. but he
Insisted that certain changes be made.
j. T. Stokely and Lee C. Bradley rep
resented the railroads which will con-
tribute 80 per cent of the total cost of
the Twenty-frst street construction. They
explained certain features when the is
sues came up, but agreed to the con-
tract, even after the multitude of changes
in the verbiage were made.
All that remains for the city to do now
is to authorize, by the passage of an ordi-
nance at the session next Tuesday, George
B. Ward to sign the contract.
While it is possible that the railroads
may refuse to ratify the contract as it
now stands. this is considered unlikely.

Former Pirate Arrives and Has Initial

The arrival Of Doc Johnston,
former first sacker of the Pitts
burg Pirates, in camp yesterday

y 10 men. leaving only three alb
!. sentees. Doc came in from Chat
+ tanooga on the morning train and
was out at Redwood yesterday
afternoon for his first workout of
the season.
Eddie Mcdonald, Elmer Ponder
and Emmett Perryman are the
lone Barons absent from camp.
Moley is working his men hard and
( is now getting down to the funda-
mental facts of the game. He has
large crowd of youngsters on
hand and the teachings of the
Baron boss are of more Importance
than ever.
Moley stated last night that he
expected the entire roster, with
the exception of Perryman, who
was granted the privilege of re-
porting here April 1, to be COM
pleted Monday. He received let
ter recently from both Ponder and
Mcdonald, i'm which they stated
they would be in camp on Monday
morning.

of the youngsters in camp will be
tested Moley has several young
sters who continue to look like
finished ball players, but what
they will do under fire remains
to be seen. The first game may
probably be played Monday.
The first exhibition game is
booked for March 20 with the
Washington Senators and Moley
must have his men in shape for
this game. Other contests with MAJ
jor ieaguers follow.
The threatened railroad strike
may cause the postponement of all
exhibition games scheduled for
Birmingham, according to Presi-
dent Smith of the Barons. Provided
the strike is effective, the big
league teams will not be able to
reach Birmingham and consequent
1y the games will be forced off the
board.
The Barons have more exhibit
ton games scheduled for this sea-
son than in the past few years
and it would be source of much
regret to the fans to see the games
called off. However. if the strike
comes, the Barons will not match
their metal against the big
leaguers, unless it lasts only a
short time, which is very improb-
able.
No announcement has ever been
made at the leagues Headquarters
as to the unpiring staff of the
coming season. One change has
been announced, however, but fur

ing can be ascertained
Scott Chestnut, the local favor
lite, is taking his spring training
at Rickwo~i occasionally with the
Barons. Scotty says his eyes are in
perfect trim and should have a
great season.
Fans are baffled over the UNI
pire situation. 1t is generally pre-
dfcted that at least three new
faces will be seen on the jumps
staff Scotty will be one. but who
are, the other two? The question
is up to President Baugh. An an
nouncement will probably be made
