CENTRAL WILL MEET
 ENSLEY NINE TODAY

The high schools of the Birmingham district are well punched for the leader ship as the league season draws toward the close. Games to be played this week will have a definite bearing on the cham pionshp as the leaders battle for first honors.
 Central will battle, Ensley on the lat ter's home grounds in the only argu- ment on the card today. but these two ancient rivals of the diamond will stage one of the niftiest encounters of the prep league when they lock horns on the T. C. I. field at Ensley this afternoon. Ersley defeated Central in the first con- test of the season. and the Crimson crew of Coach Burbage is feeling all re- vengeful-like for today s battle.
 The contest for the leadership is cen- tered chiefly around the aggregations of Central and Jefferson County, with odds about event. Each team has four vic- tories and one defeat to it's credit, and the final leadership may be decided be- tween these two teams. The nine of Birmingham-Southern High, which made bad start. has been winning regu- larly of late. and the clan of Coach Crawford Robertson still has a look-in for the gonfalon.

Great hunks of gunpowder and flashes of German artillery.
 The Age -Herald's aggregation of ferce busters, who sling type and bull during the night time while all human beings ought to be (and are) in bed, are laying mean plots for the an- initiation of the aspirants for diamond honors who have issued dire threats of conquest from the vicinity of the Birmingham News.
 The issue of battle has been drawn. Blood is destined to fly in all direc- tions on the scene of the struggle, Smith field when :he stars of the diamond lock horns in mortal combat for supremacy. Visions of massacred umpires and prospects of vicious con flict appear on the fa--distant horizon as the battle draws rear.
 The performers of The Age-Herald are in top form. Captain Cornett has rounded together a formidable array of baseball stars to tangle with the type singers of the News, who are destined to get severe setback before this little argument is over.
 The following line-upA will oppose the diamond stars of the News when tha battle takes place: Allen. If; Call houn, 2b Harrison, ss; Cornett. D. Lopez. 3b; White, 1b; Lindsay, of; Thompson, c; Russell, If.

Scratch Hits
By MARVIN M.cARrHY

After weathering yesterdays storm, We will feel safe in the old craft in any kind of weather The Volunteers cert rtainly threw scare into Paronial railbirds yesterday.
 Getting down to brass tacks, it must be admitted that the Vols came mighty near breaking our winning streak. The Vols had men on bases In six of the nine innings and third base was occupied by enemy runners more than once. Only fielding of the st sensational nature saved the day for Tom Gallagher.
 All of which brings us to the point where a possible explanation of the wonderful success of the Barons re- certly might be found. It is true That tha Baron pitchers have improved somewhat. but the change there is m3l.or in comparison to the other, the "ccmeback'' of the Baron infield.
 Never have four ball players gotten together in better style than have son during the past two weeks. This department of the team is working like single part now.
 The outfield has never been p-ob- lem. at least from a fielding stand point. The batting strength has been increased somewhat. however, by the addition of Meeks and the placing of IIIIIitn Tn d regular TOle
 As we heard one railbird say yes- te~day. Any pitcher can win with that team back of him."
 We wish to tender our thanks to the unknown aviator who cruised over Redwood park about the sixth inning yesterday. After one look at the high flying birdman. Vol twirler Dunham decided to duplicate and proceeded to to in ha oi,. iroo IIa al low ed two hits and walked three men, forcing across a Baron tally himself.
 Outfielder Meeks, the new player received from Louisville, is making himself more solid with Baronial fans every day. His most spectacular feat yesterday was the manner in which he begged to the infIeld after receiv-
 ing Vol flies. Meeks seems to have no trouble whatever in neaving the pel- let all the way in without bounding the ball once.
 Birmingham is about to play havoc with the Tennessee teams. Chatta- nooga lost four in row to the Barons. tLe Chicks did too. and Nashville has lost the one already played If Bir- miAgham can win today's and tomor- rows games from the Vols Tennessee wi1i be thoroughly bumbled.
 After the games with the Vols in Nashville the Barons return to Bir miEgham to meet Little Rock three fin-esr Thursday. Friday and Saturday. Mf neys bunch has not been up against Kic EIberfeld's aggregation yet. At lanta is another team which we have yer to meet the first time.
 If all the plots and plans laid against the Birmingham News print CTS by The Age-Herald's tribe of type settlers are carried cut nine ambu- lances will be needed tomorrow after noen to carry off the exhausted field CTS from friend Zipp Nawman's joint. Local boys are planning sto wear out .hc base lines of Smiths field, where ths encounter will take place.

SS"tI5c.H t5. h%.s,s.a IsasSs is a1 the ,bs ss''s5 s.
 tional?" The moot question has come up again
 Statistics are valuable guides to show the comparative strength of rivals, but statistics in certain cases are practically worthless in an effort to ascertain which IS the better league-the National or American.
 Not so long ago an article was penned on that subject. The statement was made that the American League was stronger in batting. The article declar- ing in substance:
 The American League as whole made 10,021 hits in 1919 in 37409 times at bat for an average of .26S; the National batsmen hit out only 9,603 safeties in 3I 2O3 trials for an average of .25s. That indicates that the American League is 10 points stronger in batting."
 It doesn't mean anything of the sort For, along the same line of reasoning wouldn't the Dixie League or the Central League, hitting .275 as whole, be con- sioered cloutng outfit superior to the American?
 What a league hits within itself cannot be used as any basis for comparison Maybe the American Leaguers are better hitters in group form than those in the National. But maybe the reason that the Americans hit better than the Ma tlonaLs is because the American pitchers are easier to hit
 It's much the same as regards base running. The article points out that while the Americans are better hitters the Nationals are faster afoot inasmuch as they pilfered 1,165 bases in 1919 against 9O6 thefts by the Americans But. on the other hand can't the National League burglary supremacy be taken to mean that It S easier to steal on their catchers than It is on those of the Americana

Would the Nationals steal as many bases on American catchers?
 The situation brought up by the 1919 comparative presentment is as follows:
 Hits. Runs. BIB. so. National .. ...... 9,60S 4,01 2,615 S2S6 American .... l0,02l 4,5S5 S,SS5 3,569 That indicates that the National pitch CTS were tighter with their hits and stin- gier with their passes than their Amer ican brethren. And, some would take that to mean that the National pitchers of 1919 were better. But what do you make of the fact that they struck out nearly 300 less men than the American Leaguers?
 Is it a greater achievement to strike out the most men or give the fewest bases on balls?
 The fielding averages are about the only ones that are worth anything in com pairing the strength of the two circuits For the fields are about the same, the scoring rules the same and the situations about parallel.
 Men go from one league to another and either fatten or suffer a slump in batting or pitching averages because of the diff ference in conditions and players they meet. But fielding is no more difficult in one circuit than another. So the fol- lowing figures have some value inasmuch as they show that the two leagues are about 50-50 in fielding:
 20. Ass. Err Av. National .... ... 3o,16l 15.256 1,572 967 American ..... .... SO125 14,5O5 1,6l7 se5 But the discussion of which league is stronger started when the American came into being, and it will never end unless, some day, the American Leaguers play among themselves for half season, the National does the same, and then, through the final three months they pay inter-league.
 And then, perhaps, it won't end.
