Stenosrapher Suggests New
 Indoor Sport

Here's brown haired, hazel-eyed dog goned good looking Birmingham stenog- rapher who wants to know why, in this day of athletic contests, outdoor and in- door sports, the stenographers and type writers in the city and environs can't break into the sporting pages with a speed tournament.
 Of course, for the time her identity must remain profound secret. Her idea, as told at length in letter yesterday to The Age-Herald sporting editor, is to pull off a typewriter event either at the Central Y M c. A. or the Birmingham Athletic Club.
 She would not want a programme in which the contestants would be entered as bantams welterweights, etc. But she does suggest a variety of classes for the entries
 For instance, she writes, 'I am cred. tied with being jazz artist on the type writer and would like to enter a class where the contestants would batter away in speed bout to jazz music by either the piano or phonograph.
 AS syncopated operator I find type writing has become real pleasure in- stead Of a grind"
 The stenog gives as an illustration a little jazz music tune she huns when, in the lawyers office where sha is en- ployed, she has a long LSref. transcript or other legal document to transcribe. The verse rattles something like this:
 Now Is the time,
 The time,
 The time,
 For all good men and true;-
 To come to the aid,
 The aid,
 The aid,
 Of the party, P D. Q.
 And then she plays on the typewriter to another syncopated verse that runs thusly: To learn the keyboard, A to z, In record-breaking manner; Just write to a soothing melody On the offices new pianner. C. W. Streit. chairman of the B. A. c. athletic committee. Is favorbaly inclined to a typewriter contest as a popular in- door sport.

Mystery Man WorriiesCubs:
 Arm Is Weak

Passadena, Cal, March 2S.-George Tyler is the mystery man. of the Cub pitching staff. Whether he is going to do a comeback that will bring joy to the hearts of the fans of Chicago re- mains to- be seen. Three weeks ago II was thought he would. At that time he warmed up in great shape but since has a problem and one that Manager Mitchell is watching with keenest interest. He IS tremendously concerned over the veteran left-hander because upon him depends much of the clubs success in the pen nant race
 if optimism will cause Tyler to return
 to his old time form he will be one oi
 Manager Mitchells regulars from the start of the season. The leader is not pressing him to be prepared by that time,
 but is striving to get one of his young southpaws in shape to assist in the du- ties of the slab. Tyler Is careful witu his arm, probably bit too careful as he does not let out with any fast nalls until he is certain his whip feels U, h.
 He declares it is growing stronger ana that if he continues he oushl lo pe ~ good as ever.
 should Tyler fail to be the star he was more than two years ago Manager Mitchell hopes to get an effective ieIt,
 handler out of Martin Stolz. who pitchea five innings against the Vernon club anu held it to four blows in that tune. Ills exhibition was encouraging with one eA- ception-he did not disclose good ias' ball He had fine change of pace and . decentive curve. which the Vernon attn letes could not whack squarely.
 The control Stolz had was surprlsine'
 Before he joined Manager Mltcheii
 squad it was said he was unusually wiiu' but he displayed no signs of that Weah-
 ness in the game. His control was perfec''
 as not once in the five rounds dld ne
 work the count to three and two on any of the hitters. He showed ne nao confidence in his ability by sticking the hau ax-ar and making the men hit.

mOKER players may come and go, U but there'll never be in this sunny southland the equal of "Whis- kers" Beaton. The old Southern turf, once famous gambling mecca of Nashville, has passed into history with the Climax and the notorious "216,' but the memory of John Frank Beaton will finger until the last Ten nessee veteran gambler has passed into the beyond. "Whiskers" cashed in his last chip little more than a year ago.
 Captain Kidd in his palmiest days couldn't have held candle to "Whis- kers" for piratical appearance. The only thing "Whiskers" lacked was a black flag with the skull and cross bones thereon, cutlass and a horse pistol and he would have made Cap tain Kidd look like the leader 3f a Wednesday evening prayer meeting. .. "Whiskers" wore a beard black as midnight and as glossy as the mane of Kentucky Derby winner. This luxurious hirsute ornament flowed down to the last button of his vest. He possessed pair of piercing, beady lamps that had an ultraviolet ray beaten four different ways. One sharp, swift glance from those optics and timid player would lay down a ipat hand without risking a white chip.
 1 There was one invariable rule ir | his poker life. He never played through any one evening without standing pat one time on measley pair of Jacks. It was couple o1 wears before his death when he tole
 me he had never, in period of thirty
 years, been called on this single bluff | of an evenings series of jackpo poker.

Pruning Knife Being Whetted By Mir. Moley

With the opening of the 1920 Southern League season, a little more than two weeks off. the Barons have some hard work ahead before their first game. to be played here April If, against Roy El- lam's Vols of Nashville.
 Manager Molesworth is getting real line on what he can expect from each man during the coming season. and con sequently is getting ready his pruning knife, making preparations for cutting the squad to normal size.
 Moleys infeld is about decided. con siderng that there are four men out for the four positions, Bernsen' at first, Black at second and Croll at short, and Stevenson at third This combination has been working together in fine fashion during the preseason battling. Griffith, outfielder, seems to be pretty good utll- ity man, and can play the in1eld when occasion demands, as he has proven by his performances at third during the ab- sence of Tom Stevenson from the games against the Phillies
 The Baronia1 moguls have a wealth of outfieId material Griffin, Summa, Ellis and McCarty are Class A timber, while Norton, Silva and Pursell have made good showings in minor leaguedonl. Silva seems to be a gem of the purest water judging from his work in the exhibition games already played. He is one of the fastest men on the Baroniai squad.
 The Barons play five exhibition games during the coming week Tuesday and Thursday the Phillies will be encountered, the Louisville Colonels Wednesday,, and Southern Military Academy Friday All four games will be played at Redwood park. Saturday the Barons journey to Tuscaloosa, there to clash with the Uni versity of Alabama Crimsons.
