The Vols beat the Phillies to after the National Leaguers had trimmed both the Lookouts and Barons, and members Of the Phil team declared Ellam's outfit stacks up like a ball club The cellar champs of 1919 are determined to make mark this year, and are in fair way 10 realize their ambitions.
 The Vol infield will hold it's own with any of the league, and embraces three OF the surest fielders in the circuit, as well as two sluggers of high cafibre. The third base position is still surrounded with big question mark, but the corner will not go begging pending the arrival of third sacker promised from the Detroit Tigers in the Jonnard deal.
 Dick Kaufman at the first station, has nu peer in Dixie either at fielding the bag or in clouting.
 At the keystone sack, Pel Ballinger is filling. the fans cup with joy. Pel busted out double and two singles against the Phis and fielded the bag in sensational style. He has already won a home in A Nashville.
 Roy Ellam will take care of the short field role.
 The outfield combination is not yet a fixed quantity. Not because there is any scar city of material, but due to the prob lem of selecting three men out of field of seven Jack Farmer, Kitty Wickham and Guy Cunning appear to have first call, although Mike Burke, Southern League veteran: Finley Layne, from the all-star navy team Grussemeyer, from the Quincy, Ill, independent team, and Jos Greene, a Pennsylvania Steel Leaguer, are all putting up strong bids for reg ular livery
 Jack Farmer is 300 hitter, and Kitty Wickham is expected to come inside the charmed circle this season. Dunning, ccrning to the Vols from the South At s,, rr1id of ocf caoc ic great fielder and fair hitter, and is expected to rank among the best in Dixie society.
 The catching staff is a settled proposi- tion. Rubber" Jonnard, twin brother Of the pitcher sold to Detroit, is lined tp f2i, first-string catching duties. Frank TJhlbecker, last years second-string re- n< Aver, is retained for the same role this v Far These catchers will hold their own Eith any staff on the circuit.
 1 Out of a flock of pitchers five or six /have been noted in action who should feasily develop into boxmen of class. "Shover' Hodge has added twenty pounds in weight and looks like winner. He has developed a freak delivery which he calls the s-dry spitter,' the ball hopping with motion similar to the spitbaH, yet being strictly within the law and without the use of moisture.
 t Eddie Tomlin. from the Tigers, looks good for a fixture on the slab corps. Mar win Dodd, a Philadelphia semi-pro, puts far more stuff on the ball than the aver age pitcher without league experience, and Manager Ellam is enthusiastic over his showing.
 Bill Statham, independent player from St Louis, looks mighty good. Molly Meis, last year with the Louisville Col onels. and Shorty Stewart, same club, are Vols this year, and may be counted upon for regular roles.

Shows and an unusually severe winter
in the Arctic regions are believed to
have caused the migration TO this state

Pause to unusual conditions in Green

Severe winter to follow. That he was
right in his contention is borne out
