Bay St Louis, Miss March N.-(Spe- cial )--There is no mystery about 1t. This Cracker clan is made of good material, if said timber ever existed anywhere, and there is no earthly reason why Charlie Frank should quicker his brow in few cred anxiety about the prospects of his 1920 diamond representatives.
 His visit has dispelled all doubts. The Cracker crew is a great one. and the fans of Martins circuit have several good sized treats coming to them, when the lads from the Capital City or Georgia start their pennant chase. The pitching staff is the strongest forts. and the pivot around which the hopes Of the Atlanta gang are constructed. Next in greatness is the outfield, while the inheld comee in for third honors.
 The list of twirlers is intact Every pitcher that aided in winning the pennant last year for the Atlanta club is back in harness. and with the exception of Daniel Boone, all are in excellent condi- tion for the fight that is approaching.

WOOD QUITS TOWN ON FREIGHT TRAIN
 TO ESCAPE FANS

Athens Ga. March 27.-(Special0 Since Gen. Leonard Wood has been basking in the light of publicity and is turning his eyes in the direc- ton of the presidential chair. here is an incident that will be of in- terest to fans:
 General Wood. though it was not general then, was stationed at Fort McPherson.
 He had made an enviable reputa- ton on the gridiron and was con- sidered a crack-a-jack football war rior.
 It was i'm the days long before the 6. I. 4. A., and college teams over the country were made and mould ed in a day--from blacksmiths or professional football players. Prac- ticaIly every college indulged in 'sborrowing' players from some other team.
 Georgia Tech was to play the University of Georgia eleven in Athens and keen rivalry that exist- ed between the institutions made it imperative that either team play hard and endeavor to make the coll DTS of victory fly from their stand ards after the game.
 So Tech borrowed the player. Wood. from McPherson, and he ac- companied the gridiron team to Attn ems to battle against the Red and Black. During the encounter that afternoon on Hearty field, the true identity of Wood was established- that he was a borrowed player.
 After the matinee the urchins and newsies of Athens&--and Gen. eraI Wood later stated that the freshmen also were active-chased him to the railroad station and his departure from Athens was rather hurried, as he left by the side-dOor Pullman route-which is box car.

5 Hold Out On Nicklin;
 Infield Shy

Chattanooga, March 27.->-(Special) J. Joe Tinker and Bill Clymer bring their Columbus A. A. sluggers to Chattanoo- ga Saturday for a series of seven Sames, and by the time the series is completed, Strang Nicklin expects to have a thorough idea of the strength and weaknesses of the Lookouts. The local team looked like a bunch of City League amateurs in the opening game with the Phillies last Sunday, and ham mers were wielded by the 2,500 local fans who saw the contest. As the week wore on, however, Pitcher Bob Vines signed his contract and Billy Gleason second baseman, also came into line, with the result that the situation cleared to some extent.
 Nicklin's hold-out colony is now re- duced to five players, only one of whom is really needed by the team, namely Shortstop Demoo; Ppitcher Sammy Crews, Baron trade; Outfielder Jimmy Burke, formerly of Little Rock; Pitcher Buck Weaver. ex-Pelican, and Out fielder Charity, formerly of Calves ton. All have refused to sign local contracts and these four seem likely to receive voluntary suspesion. There is still some hope of getting Demoe.
 The pitching arguments seems to be settled. Rube Marshall, Bob Vines and Frank Noel of last years team, and George Cunningham, the old Lookout who was bought from Detroit, and York, an Athletic southpaw, seem to be the favored quintet and peach of a staff they are. There is a bare possi- bility that York will not make the team.
 Neilderkorn and Delaney are leading the catching argument.
 The outfield is playing with Bratchi in left, Daniels in center, and Hart in right. The team seems none to strong at the bat.
 ( The infield is in somewhat chaotic Acondition. Cy Anderson has three or four recruits competing with him for first base, but none is worrying him except shay, New Yorker, who looks like real find. Gleason probably will play short with Gerdes at third. Bur ton, local amateur has been playing short and seems little nervous. though fast. He still has chance to make the team. The infield is porous, and it is praSticalIy certain to be patched up with donation from either the Columbus team or the New York Giants.

Travellers
 Adopt Six { orSeason

Little Rock, March 27.--(Special)- Six ball players are sure of their jobs with the Little Rock Travellers this season. That is the extent of the prog ress made in the spring training which has been on at Kavanaugh field for three weeks. Several others are pretty safe. but there still are a couple of positions about which there is some doubt
 The men who have been named as sure things are: Robinson and Fields, pitchers; Brottem. catcher; Wano first baseman; McGinnis, shortstop; Miller, center field.
 Men who are reasonably sure of jobs are: Knowlson, Knight, Lohman and Masters, pitchers; Moore and Distel, infielders; Frierson and Blakesley, out field; Mclean, utility.
 Wano is an Indian brave from Okla homa, who was picked up by Fiber field last fall and who is showing up so we'll there is little doubt that he will be with the club all season.
 McGinnis is showing in better form than he was asst season, when he was known as the boy wonder of the league, He is a midget about large as Tommy McMillan and plays the game like Tommy does.
 "Bing'' Miller is fixture in center field and that is a fact that a lot of Southern League pitchers are likely to regret. Little Rock bought the big fellow from the Detroit club during the winter and Proxy Allen figures it is one of the best buys he ever made. Miller was with the Crackers a short time last summer until flock of boils T | pears in great shape this season and ought to be one of the most feared batters in the league.
 Scrappy" Moore has the third base job about won. Dee Walsh hasn't changed his mind about reporting and he isn't being coaxed either. One req son for the seeming indifference is that Moore is playing third so well that Dee hardly will be missed Distel is work well that the Kid and Prexy Allen have about given up efforts to persuade Gus Getz to report.
 It is probable that John Freirson will hold his job in left field. Jimmie Biakesley, former army player Is playing right in the exhibition gam es and looks like the real find of the season.

The outtielders can field and the in- fielders can flag few themselves. After a great season in the Virginia League last year, this Pel Ballinger may be classed as veteran. With Roy Ellam on one side and Dick Kaufman on the other, MT. Ballinger will have plenty of wise counselling on playing the second base position, and there is little to fear on this score. In training he has shown a brilliant style which forebodes great things.
 As soon as the third base corner is plugged, the fielding end of the propo- stion may be classed with the sure bets. At least one good man is in the making at McDonald's old station. and Eddie Krueger looks to be the best of the lot Then there are Barol, Gilliland and An derson among the candidates, with Sam Hale of the Tigers still a remote possi- bpity.
 THE WRECKING CREW
 When it comes to mauling the pill there are a few fellows in MT. Ellam's roster who can do that very thing. Take for instance, Jack Farmer. if Jack could hit .297 in full season in the Pacific Coast League, a Class A circuit, why can't he rock along at a 320 pace in the Southern, Class A league? He certainly should be able to hit we'll above 300 and from the looks of his smashes in the training games there are few fans with nerve enough to think otherwise.
 Then take Kitty Wickham as a second instance. wick looks as sure of reg ular berth this season as does any man in the fold, and his left-handed pokes are destined to drive many a run in this year The East Tennesseean whales the ball at torrid clip when in form, and he says he's at the top of his pace this season. He looks the part
 Wick" slugged along to a 300 clip for part of last season, but shifting around from the garden to the infield did little for his batting eye. He fin-

9 Class A
 Players In
 ChickSquad

Memphis, March 7.-(SpeciaL)--J ohm MeCloskey, "big chief of the Chickasaw tribesmen, will carry the full allowance of the Chicks this summer, which means that the squad will be comprised of nine Glass A members and SIX of lower clas- sifcation. With the exception of catch CT and the possible exception or short stop, every other position on the team will will be in the hands of Class player
 Mccoskey will carry five pitchers. It is certain that three of them will be Class A and possibly fourth
 George Bischoff. a Class man, will be the regular catcher, ana will have youngster as his helpmate. At present Gil Myers. with Augusta last season, is assisting Bischoff behind the bat.
 Polly McLarry, Class A man, will be at first. Jack Lewis, another Glass A man, will be at second. Harry Collenber- ger, youngster. is at present the only candidate for shortstop. btu his fate is doubtful Eddie Hale. a Mississippi Col lego product is working at third, but 1t is nearly certainty that Hale Will be replaced by a veteran.
 Andy High and Robert Lynn, young
 
 job, but a Class A man will be in s1lat position when the season starts or short. ly thereafter Yale Sloan, Class A man. is sure of the center field job. Francis Graiffin, Class A pjlayer, who worked at first last season, is being used in right field and will probably remain there.
 The pitching roster now includes Tiny Goodbred Dazzy Vance and Hugh Cana van. all Class A men with the team last year, and practically sure of their jobs; Pil Tweatt Fly Folkes and Pat Awfis, all young right-handers. and good Joking ones. <
 Red Smith. catcher. and Carl Manda, third basemen. with the team last season and both Class A men. will not be brought back. Both will be sold or -raced.
 McCloslxey may and may not find one pitcher out of Thweatt, Albris and Fowfkes The chief would like to have another left-hander among the lot, And he wants Class A man. Harry colien-' berger is making desperate effort to cling to the shortstop job. and is making good showing.
 So it looks like it's practically certain that Class A men will be at first, second, third left, right and center field and three pitchers. If McCioskey can secure a young third baseman another Class A man will be added to the pitching depart ment.
 With the exception of the pitchers the fifteen men here are in good shape and will he ready to start the tour with the St Paul Saints nxt week. The teams play as follows: April 1, Paris, Tenn: April 2. Dyersburg. Tenn; April 5 and 1. Memphis: April 5. Clarksdale. Miss. and April 6, Belzoni, Miss.
