OFFICIALS DIFFER
 ON TIME OF GAMES Charley Frank Only Mana ger in Southern Who Will
 Start Games at 3:30

There is considerable differences of opinion among officials of baseball or ganizations with reference to the time of starting the games. In the American league some club owners miantain that it is a violation of the spirit of the daylight. saving law to move the time up from 3:3o to 4:S0. Other moguls are of the opinion that this new law was designed to enable people to take recre- ation during the daytime and to enjoy just such amusement as the national game offers.
 Over in Atlanta Chubby Charley Frank in a very patriotic statement declares that he will begin all games in the windy city at 4:3o. However" continues Chas. Eff the people object to the earlier hour, we will start at 4;S0.' It is understood that President Baugh has instructed Southern league clubs to begin at 430 and with the exception of Atlanta, all are believed to have agreed to it.
 On newspaper is conducting straw vote on the question in the hope of de- tsrmining public sentiment but very lit tie interest has been manifested one way or the otheS by its subscribers. Just how the new time will fit in with rail- road schedules and the transportation of players from one city to another is not known, but this detail can be easily worked out according to authorities

McAdOO Issues Denial of
 Charges Against Railroads

Washington. April 4.-Director General McAdoo today made public letter to A. c. Wharton. president of the railroad employees department of the American Federation of Labor, denying reports that railroad officials had protested against an order of the director general asking cooperation between labor and railway arrangements.
 T have not received.' said the dreo- tor general. "a single protest from any railroad official. I feel that it is most important in this new era of railroading in America that railroad employees shall not live any longer in an atmosphere of suspicion and distrust. I earnestly de- sire to see them brought together upon plane of mutual understanding and helpfulness. l know that it will promote the efficient and safe operation of the railroads. l will not tell you how deeply appreciate the assurances of loyalty and support I have been receiving from railroad employees" :"

HOWARD HAS EASY
 TIME WITH PREDS Jackson, Walker and Shinn Lead Attack-Baptists to
 Play Alabama

The Howard squad made a clean sweep of the series with the Preds team. by winnig the last game, 11-1. The An niston coilegians failed to show the ex- pected attack in the entire series. while the Bulldogs put up some of the real article of the national pastime.
 Charles Martin worked steady game, and after the first inning the Preds never threatened, nine of them going out via the strikeout route. Jackson, Walker and Shinn led the attack for the locals and Prater for the visitors.
 This series closes the home stay of the Crmson-B Blue squad and they leave next week for the first road trip of the sea son, playing the University of Alabama Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

RALPH COMSTOCK
 REPORTS TUESDAY
Baron Heaver Is Motoring Through the Country in
 First-Class Style

X pair of gruelling workouts was the programme at Redwood yesterday, with not even few innings of baseball to relieve the strenuous practice. Alten- berg and Duncan. two of the late ar rivals. are fast limbering up and get ting their peppers on the hcrsehide, De- bus was laid out of Wednesdays game with a lame arm but took his place at short yesterday. Fred Bowman has been utterly useless since contracting a reg ular sore arm, and 1t may be sometime yet before the Nebraska forester can get
 em over the pan.
 The whole team is elated over the com ing of Ralph Comstock. Ralph wrote that he was leaving Toledo in his motor car and would make the trip through the country. arriving in Birmingham next Tuesday. The addition of Com stock makes the Baron twirling staff look vastly better. Next Wednesday Pittsburg will notify us what men they are going to send over. so in week. Moley will be able to tell just where he stands.
 The pitching stan this year will con- sist of Comstock, Slapnicka and Black, with either Long, Bowman or Glazner of the youngsters, and probably Carmen Hill. It may be that Hills effectiveness was impaired when he sprained his back; anyhow, this misfortune will prevent the bespeckled boy getting fair trial with the Pirates. In case no pitchers are sent by Pttsburg, two of the three re- cruit twirlers will be retained.

Washington, April IA new effort by falling value of the mark by concentra- tion of more of the country's financial business in the hands of the government was reported today in official dispatches The imperial postoffice authorities pro- pose to require all firms in the Trade Register to open postal checking ac- counts.

Cargo Egyptian Cotton Arrives

Boston, April 4.-Nine thousand bales of long staple Egyptian cotton, valued at about s4,500,oo0 or nearly s1 pound, was being unloaded here today for de-
 livery to New England importers It was the second large shipment to reach this port since July. The ship also brought 220 tons of gum. which put the total value of the cargo well above s6.- 000.00o Dealers said the cotton cost con- siderably more than the last previous shipment because of the steadily ad- vancing prices and higher rates for ship space and insurance

MAISEL GOOD


 St. Louis has a chance to jump many points if Maisel shows he can come back strong. He was one of the lead CTS two years ago. fighting, hustling, aggressive base running third baseman. and under the Donovan management, switched to the outfeld, tried at other jobs. he went back in every depart ment of the game. Under Jones he may revive. I know of no physical reason that he should have slumpel in such manner. If he fails to revive, Austin will hold his job and Rustln is q cork ing good man even now.
 I have had to figure them half and half but before the spring training season is over I can amend the final figures providing Jones reveals his in- tentions.
 RED SMITH THERE
 Perhaps the only big surprise in the National league will be the high .ank- ing of Red Smith, who gained in al- most every department of the game l.; st season, led his team in hitting and be- came one of the competent men of the league Smith has been improving steadily for three years and With his increase in attacking power passed Milton Stock, who also showed steady and consistent improvement
 St. Louis Cards look healthier at third now as Baird. after several ups and downs, really shows promise The team also has fellow named Stewart, purchased from Denver, who is high ly touted. He played second and short before. but is said to be gooI at third and he hits well. close to .290, and seems fast.
 A difference of 250 or more points netween the top and bottom players Tn third base position is entirely too much, but that difference really is not as great as indicated by the igures. The difference is due to the fact that TWO men in enc league anu three in the other are extremely hafI hiuters and cleanup men. which is rather eX- traordinary for third basemen. The diff ference in defensive strength between tcp and bottom players is very little Chicago has hopes of developing a man who may change the aspect of the sea- son. That is Lear. promising looking and confident fellow who was tried Ly the Athletics for a time in 1915 and who comes back looking good
 This completes the study of the in- fields-and the figures show Chicago slightly leading Boston in tic Ameri- can league with New York and Detroit not far behind. In the National, Gin cinnati and New York are running very close together.
 Let's pass to the outfields, where we find the greatest attacking strength, and study the left felders.
