Although the rest of the hilltop aggregation isl fighting hard for regular berths, more pitchers of quality are wanted in the Vol camp.

Prank Reader and Charley Stauffer mostly semi-pros and inde- pendent players, are included in the list of pitchers on hand.
 Roy El1am, who led the Dixie short stops in fielding last season, will be seen again in his old role.

University March 20(Special 1.-The baseball nine of the University of Ala bama will play it's first game with Coach Browne's Methodist pastimers from Bir- ,nngham- Southern on the local diamond next Thursday.
 Although Coach Lewis isr as silent as to whom he is picking out to represent Alabama on the diamond this year, rail 1irds and freduenters of the sideline have about got the thing doped out to their
 satisfaction.
 Capt. Joe Sewel who signed with the New Orleans Pelicans. is giving Coach Lewis much assistance in the develop nent of another champion nine for the Crimson White. He will not join Cobb lntil after the collegiate season is com pleted. Captain Joe will hold down the keystone sack again. Rigs Stephenson, pll-around athlete. with his professional kill. win he found working again at shortstop.
 The dopesters have figured out that Rat Hall who halls from Gordo. is the man for third base. The Crimson nine has been weak on third baseman for several years, but apparently a find has been made in Hall Fulton. Reed Pill and Daughtry are working for a place in the infield.
 There is a fight on for the first sack which was made vacant when Johnny Cochrane did not return to school. The two main aspirants are Luke Sewell and Cargile with preference given to Sewell in the practice.
 Stacy. a hard hitter aud varsity man of two wears ago. Is arguing for his old po- sition Red Lenior. Bickiy and Brown, who were members of Coach Noojiu g winning aggregation of last year, are hack in harness. "Pinky" Chapman is q rev man who is heavy hitter au,l go9i fielder. Ienior will be practicallv ceg- .ain to play the center field nosition cain.
 The his orestion mark at, Alabama IS sNe calihre of the pitchers and catchers. The woods are full of aspirants. but the nclement weather has permitted little nance for work. sam Hinton, little -outhpaw. who never lost game last car as assistant tos Big Boone. will

 The best looking new men are Morgan anone brother of the Boone DOW with re Atlanta Crackers and Garcia 'uban who did the twirlng for St. Ser ard last year.

.Chiickasaws In Market For 3 Men

Memphis, Tenn, Marcn 20-(Speeial) We pause and repeat-until a shortstop third baseman and one outfielder at least are secured, weighing the Chickasaws in the coming Southern Lea que race would be merely hazarding a guess
 The past week. instead of adding any strength to the team, resulted in drop of the ChicSasaw stock as the result
 of the loss of three players-Tom Blod- gett, left-handed pitcher with the Tribe in 1917, in the army the last two seasons and counted upon this season as regu-
 lar, has decided to remain at his home in Irving Kas.. and run for sheriff George Kirsch, star shortstop of the Mas siion, Ohio, Industrial League club, signed by the Chicks about month ago has changed his mind and will remain in Mas silon, although the Memphis club has his signed papers Charles Bill star of the Cleveland semi-pro catchers, highly rec commended to the local club. and who has signed contract. has written that he will not report. Kirsch and BIodgett were counted on strongly by Manager McCIos- key.
 George Bischoff with the team last sea son, will do. the main catching chores Red Smith of the 1919 outfit, may be re- tained and he may be traded. Gil Myers. property of the Tribe. with Augusta last season, will be brought back for inspec- ton.
 Of the pitchers, Canavan and Goodbred, old men. are certainties. Thweatt was farmed out to Augusta last spring by Memphis. Fowkes a young right-hander, was tried out here in 1917 and spent the last two years in the army FowlSes and Thweatt are about 6 feet each and look good. Albris is a Cleveland semi-pro, rec commended by Glern Lebhardt former Memphis pitcher.
 First base is well provided for in Polly McLarry who hit S26 for Binghan1ton
 in 1919 and .Ss5 the pevious season. Jack Lewis will be back at second. At pesent Collenberger, a youngster, who finished last season with the Tribe is the only candidate here for short Manada third haseman of the 1919 outfit, has been sent contract but hasn't been heard from George Griffin and Mercer are Paducah, KY, sem-pros.
 The outfield Is extremely doubtful Yale Sloan. a former Southern leaguer secure, from Columbus is a certainty for One of the jobs. McCloskey will attempt to con vert Francis Griffin, first base of last sea sons team. into outfielder. High, with the team last season divided his time be- tween the infield and outfeld Bougeno is semi-pro from Paducah and Webb is sNanother from Ravenscroft, Tenn.
 Thus it is seen that first base, second base. one catcher and two pitchers are the only certaintes.
 Favored with wonderful weather for training purposes, the Tribesmen were slow in reporting, up to Friday only eight os them being in camp. Practically all of the players have accepted terms of the club, though.
 Manager McCloslSey promises to have third baseman. shortstop and anotner outfielder in the fold ere another week passes, and until these players arrive the Chicks will verify be an unknown amount.

yards. 1t was a record breaker and
people have never tired talking about
it. Right here. however. is an inter-
esting point to note-it is much easier
for a rolling ball to hole out than it is
for one to land in the hole either on
the carry or bounce and stay there
Therefore. I think there are more
ones made on holes that are over $50
yards than on those under that dis
lance. The pin in the hole makes a
difference. too. 1 have seen balls
strike in the canvas of the flag and
drop in and stay. but that is the only
circumstance where I have seen the
ball stay in the cup on the carry.
Once in a Glen View Golf club tour
nament Chandler Egan made the
seventh hole in one. and then a player
unknown to fame. who was behind
him, did the identical thing. Douglas
Grant, while playing the California
championship at Del Monte against
Jack Neville, recently made the
eleventh hole in one.
Nearly all the clubs hold choice
score or ringer" events. and it would
be interesting to check up on these and
see just how many ones are made dur
ing the season.
There are the stock stories at golf
clubs of the player who comes boast
ing into the nineteenth hole, declar-
ing he has made a hole in one. only TO
discover that John Smith. who was
ahead of him, had deposited the ball
in the hole. 1 advise the joker who
fancies this to try it only on a blind
hole.
There is another story told. too. of
the drunken man, who made a hole
in one. and when his caddie, after a
search, showed him the ball. said:
Darn the luck. give me my niblick."
Just consider how perfect shot
must be to go in the hole in one shot
What a miracle of distance, direction,
windage, height, break of ground
went into its making, and yet the last
one 1 heard of being made was by a
player who half-topped his shot, hit
on the top of bunker near the green
and ran up into the hole.
A prominent professional once said
ball has to go somewhere and might

One Stroke and In.


Freak shots on a golf course are
always interesting. but presume none
arouses as much discussion as a hole
made in one. 1t is a most difficult
feat. 1t would be hard to calculate
how many golf strokes I have played
so far in my lifetime. and have made
only one hole in one stroke.
The hole that I made in one was
the ninth at the Chicago Golf club, and
without flattering myself 1 think
can say that no one in the country
has ever. day after day, pitched nearer
the hole than I have, and I have been
pitching near holes, year after year,
all over the country. 1 have made
numberless twos. and once landed in
the hole on the carry. but the instance
at the Chicago Golf club was the only
time the ball disappeared into the cup
when driven. Another strange thing
to me is that I have been able to make
numerous holes in two on holes where
the green cannot be reached from the
tee.
This allotment of holes in one to
golfers is really an interesting and
curious thing. I dare say there are a
country. to whom 1 could give large
/ handicaps, who have made many more
holes in one than have.
1t is said that one of the big Eng
IlSn SOlI magazines mas an AOnOT roll
for golfers who have made a hole in
one. and I would like to know how
many holes in one Britain's big three
i-Vardon, Braid and Taylor-have
made. 1t is rumored that Vardon has
not one to his credit.
I think the only time hole has ever
been made in one during a national
| championship was at Detroit, in 1918,
when Robert Gardner holed out from
the tee on the 160-yard sixth hole at
Detroit. His opponent had a two, and
that is probably the only time in the
history of big championships that a
two has lost the hole.
Every one remembers Ned Allis's
| hole in one at Homewood during the
western championship of 1913 1t is,
perhaps, the most famous of all Amer
| lean holes in one. for it was a smash
| ing drive from the tee of the old first
/ hole, and this hole measures over soc
