You can pick a veteran catcher
out of any crowd on the bathing
beaches. His legs are thick and
mussed up with ugly scars.
Squatting behind the plate for
q couple of hours a day Is good
training for an athlete who expects
to be an anchor. but it's had for
his speed.
There isn't a catcher In either
of the big leagues who can do a
hundred yards In 10 seconds nat or
any other way.
Recently q group Of Cincinnati
and Brooklyn players were spend
ing q few leisure hours on the
bathing beaches. You could spot
even II you had nev read q box
score.
The knees Of both the Red and
Dodger catchers r tattooed by
spike wounds like they had been hit
by a buzz saw.
Legs Of catchers who have
served for very many years show
ugly, distended veins through the
surface of the skin, the result OF
the strain Of crouching.
Most veteran backstops have fat
feet. Their toes r fattened and
battered. the effort Of sharp spikes
and whizzing fouls.
The scout remarks: 1T seems to me
Thpf quarry rorr raPrrTff II GcA
No matter how uncouth he Is,
Is recommended as a whizz.
Each bush league owner that I meet
VIII buttonhole me on the street
And whisper thus-'this is the truth,
That kids another George H. Ruth"
This quiet game which Mister Ray
Plays DER the pasture links,
Doesn't get as far as first
With shouting baseball ginks.
When Ray is putting for a hole,
Breathless awaits the crowd
Just fancy Babe Ruth at the plate
With shouting not allowed.
Baseball depends on yeiping packs.
On jeers and jinsling joys:
LUZ S0AAf ~ 10 ~ III 1T
This game for quiet boys.
When Ted Ray made his sensa-
tional finish at the se-venty-second
hole in the National Open the 1000
people in the gallery were so quiet
you could have heard a pin drop.
The golfer says his game depends
upon thinking golf and golf only.
What do you reckon Babe Ruth is
thinking about when he is sending
the ball over the barriers and far
away?
Temperament as seen on the links
Is a different sort than that shown in
the ball parks. Yes rather.
The reason a golfer likes his quiet
is because he has learned his game
while chasing over lonely meadows
hour after ~hour-alone and anon.
The baseball star has wised up to
his game amid a raving. bowling,
yippipg mass. He thinks just as
much about his game as the golfer,
but noise is al necessary a back
ground to him as foliage to a land
scape.

bino say: Yeah. I like to hear fans

Heroes of the national pastime
never make great records on the

J. Reese Murray Resigns As Head of Department
 of Justice in Birmingham
Work Grown to Such Extent Impossible Continue It and Practice Law-Made Fine Record During Year. Resignation Effective February l, But No Inti-
 nation Yet As to Probable Successor

being pastor of the First Methodist
 church of that city. MT. Murray Is a
 graduate of Georgetown university and
 a member of both the Kiwanis and C0ln-
 munity clubs. l.. R. Hanna, who has
 been Mir Murray's assistant. has also
 resigned and will continue his practice
 with the law firm of Murray & Hannah
 Robert k. McAdory will also be asso-
 ciated with them in the practice of law.
 Just who will succeed Mir Murray is
 not known, but it is expected that there
 win be q number Of applicants for tho place. Attorney General Palmer will in all probability appoint some local att torney recommended by one of the Ala bama senator's.
 During the war Mfr. Murray and his force of special agents did some span did work in running down and having interned alleged German spies, some Of whom have been deported since tie signing of the armistice Although en- gagged in government work Mir. Murray made every effort to get into military service and on one occasion had almost been accepted in the United States navy when some friend anxious to give him a boost mentioned the fact that he was head of the department of justice in Bir- ningham and he was turned down and requested to keep his government work here.
 The resignation of MT. Murray at this time comes as surprise to his many friends in Alabama, notwithstanding the fact that he rendered his resignation last January to Attorney. General Palmer, who refused to accept it and persuaded
 MT. Murray to remain at the head of the department at that time.

J. Reese Murray, head of the local de- partment of justice since 1913, has re- signed that position and will devote his entire time to the practice of law. His resignation was forwarded to Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer several days ago and is effective on February 1.
 Prior to coming to Birmingham in 1909 Mir. Murray was head of the de- partment of justice in Philadelphia for several years and took part in the trust busting crusade" conducted by the gov- ernment in 1913 in an effort, to break up the lumber, steel, beef and packers trusts. He resigned that position to come to Birmingham to enter the prac- tice of law, but was retained by the department and was placed in charge of the work in this district, which is com posed of Alabama, part of Tennessee and Mississippi
 Before the war he devoted large por- ton of his time to the practice. of his profession. but during the war the work was so heavy that he was forced to give it all of his time. The work in this district has grown to such proportions during the past two years that the goV- eminent deems it necessary to have the entire time of the man in charge and Mir.

 Time on License

Lee c. Bradley, receiver. and J. s. Pevear general manager of tho Birming- ham Railway, Light and Power com pany, conferred with the city commission at o'clock yesterday afternoon regard ing their 1920 license. It seems that the traction company pays license in ex- cess of s40,0O0 annually, but it's treasury is somewhat depleted at present, and an extension of the time of payment is be- ing sought.
 The matter of schedules was not dis cussed at the meeting. Very few com plaints regarding the service of the com- pany are being received these days and the commission appears to be of the opinion that Birmingham's street car facilities are about as good as could be expected under existing conditions.

 Considering Matter

Chairman Murray Brown of the state harbor board left yesterday afternoon for Mobile to attend a meeting of the board today. George Gordon Crawford, member of the board, was unable to go to Mobile at this time, but will meet the other mem bers in Montgomery tomorrow when a conference will be held with Governor Kilby.
 At the meeting today the board will take iip the matter of terminal and coal storage facilities at Mobile. A number of the Birmingham coal operators have agreed to guarantee a reasonable inter- est on the investment and the cost of operations of storage and loading and unloading facilities for coal at Mobile # the government will build them.
 The orly obstacle in the way of the government accepting the proposition, it is said. is the exorbitant price owners of land along the river front in and above Mobile are demanding for their prop erty. It is stated that marsh lands, bor- dering on the river, formerly considered to be worthless. are now held at sf50 front foot. Tho government refused to pay the price,

 It is reported that the citizens of De- mopoIis and Jackson. both on the Tombig- bee river, the connecting link between the Warrior and the Mobile rivers. have organized for ihe purpose of erecting terminal facilities in their respective cities Terminals have already been put in at Spocari, six miles from Demopolis, where the Red Diamond Cement com pany's plant is located. This company has recently been acquired by new interests and will be enlarged and operated to full capacity, it is stated.
 The Red Diar,ond Cement company will use coal for fuel purposes and to facili- tate it's handling all necessary equipment will be installed at the river front at Spocari.
 The terminals at Demopolis will be equipped with an electric hoist for ham, ding the steel containers now in use on the Warrior river. The warehouse to be built there will be of steel construction and fireproof.
