doubt, and very probable al-south- erner. Stevenson, who won such lau- rels during the football season as a fullback. will hold down first. Joe sewell is on second. sewell played in T. c. l. league last year, and led in batting. Stiles was second. and with these sluggers, Alabama will be ter TOT to any pitcher. Sewell got a three
 bagger off Cincinnati last Saturday.
 On short Shacklefors seems the best
 bet, though Pill and a few other scrubs are giving him plenty to worry about.
 Willis seems to have the edge over all contenders at third, Boone in left, Car
 bile or O'Connor in center and Pratt
 in right seem to be about the way the
 outfield will look Mully Lenoir of
 quarterback fame will be placed in one
 of these positions if he succeeds in TO-
 moving a few scholastic difficulties. Coach Noojin states that he has rarely had better prospects at this stage of the season, and that he expects to turn out
 ono of the best teams that has ever represented Alabama.
 Track athletics are also beginning to occupy the limelight at the university.

WARD A GOOD FELLOW

WARD A GOOD FELLOW
 Ward is a pretty decent sort of a cit izen and fair sport, who is interested in theatres, who inherited bakeries and who loves baseball. These folk purchased the Boston American league club. Prob ably they are as sorry about it as any one else could be. At any rate, they are willing to sell stock and to give salaried offices to purchasers of said stock
 The team, when they got it, was a near championship club In fact, it would have won last year but for the fact that the players objected to the char acter of the owners and the fact that the club was not well managed. Even as late as September 10 it had all the ad- vantage but, as one played remarked 'Td rather be in the trenches than play ing ball for those fellows"
 In other words, there is no bond of sympathy between player and owner. Nine of the players have joined the navy (some. of them with the expec- tation of getting furlough to play this season., and five are in the army.
 FREEZE A QUEEN BIRD
 
 Frazee, a queer bird, is candidate for president of the 'In Bad club He has gone into semi-retirement and handed over lot of the club responsibilities to Sport Herman, who is a good scout, even if he doesn't know much about baseball. It was tipped early in the win ter that anyone who bought a bunch of stock could be an officer and it was tipped, also, that Ed Barrow would buy some stock and be secretary. Instead, Barrow, formerly president of the Inter- national league, became manager. II MT. Barrow is a fine fellow. He knows N lot about baseball He managed the N Detroit club for two years during the l earlier days of the American league, | and managed it mostly from the box office. There is scarcely any grounds Il for the belief that he will be the de | facto manager. Barrow is about as we'll VI fitted to manage a modern baseball club 4 as Cap Anson would be. He would be 4 almost as much out of place as a polk | bonnet and hustle would be on Broad \ way.
 H Someone else must supply the up-to- A date stuff, even if Barrow is to head the H club and handle the men.
 The team thereupon went out and got ! John Evers from the Phillies, with the announcement that Evers is to supply 4 the lacking ingredient for Barrows, sans M title. Evers was the smartest man in M the game. He is not and never was a M great manager because he never could Al manage himself. His nervous tempera- M ment is such that as a manager he is N glass crash. Evidently the owners fig M ured that Barrow and Evers would, be- M tween them, form happy medium. The M result is that the team has practically N nothing in the managerial line. M Oddly enough, this team owned great MI manager-one Heine Wagner. He is one M of the greatest of ballplayers and pos XII sesses every requisite for wonderful MI manager. He was the biggest element in Il, the success of Bill Carrigan. Instead of
