While the boys were thus engaged
the officers negroes were loaned to US
to cook dinner which consisted OF
wheat bread, beef, beans, potatoes,

but bless you, our dainty lads refus-

soon showed signs of nights dissi-

the evident chagrin of our good Cap

| Arriving at the depot where open
flat and cotton cars were awaiting our
coming the Captain ordered me to
empty every canteen in the company
as he did not wish to enter camp with
even one intoxicated man, an order
which caused intense Indignation
among the men. "What, said they,
"are gentlemen to be treated as
toughs? Are we to be searched as
arrested pickpockets?" Now nine
tenths Of our men were not to be
classed as liquor drinkers and it is
certain that many of them had never
indulged in anything stronger than
wine at meal time, but it would not
have done to pick out and mortify
two or three so the entire company
must submit to what was considered
an outrage. They were an intelligent

Sheffield May Not
 Remain in Proposed
 Cotton States League

Sheffield, March 9.-Due to the great distance separating the towns compris- ing the proposed Cotton States Baseball league, it is regarded as very doubtful if either Sheffield or Columbia, Tenn, the last two teams to be granted fran chises in this league, will retain them, according to Ralph o. Newsom manager of the Sheffield Athletic association.
 It is estimated that the mileage to be covered in rounding the circuit of the Cotton States league is entirely excessive in view of the capital to be employed by each club.
 It was made known in Sheffield today that if after careful consideration of the matter of mileage in all of it's phases, it would appear to threaten the success Of the local club, that it's release from the Cotton States league would be asked, and that an effort would be made by Sheffield and Columbia, Tenn, to organ ize a six Or if possible an eight-club league to be comprised of Alabama and Tennessee towns in easy reach of each other. The towns mentioned as possibil- tties in the Alabama Tennessee league are Sheffield, Haleyville, Albany-De- catur, Huntsville, Columbia and Law renceburg, Tenn.

New York, March 9.-Arrangements for the holding of the international motor boat races for the Harmsworrn trophy in this year during the coming summer already are under way. The challenge received from the Royal Mo- tor Yacht club of England is the first of several expected in an effort to re- gain the trophy won from British mo- tor boats by Gar Wood of Detroit off the Isle of Wight last August.
 According to the rules governing this trophy, all challenges must be sen, through the Motorboat club in this country, and that club must notify the holders of the prize that challenge for race has been received. It mus. also notify the representative clubs of France, Spain and other countries that a challenge has been received and ac> cepted, and those countries, if they ac. desire. may enter the contest, each country being allowed three boats.

A BARON A DAY
By MARVIN MCCARTHY

The destinies of the house of Mor- rison seem crossed with those of the Barons, for with the departure of John Dewey Morrison for greater honors in the Big Show, youngster bearing the name of Phil Morrison steps into the vacant shoes of his brother and bids fair to fill them equally as well as his illustrious brother.
 John Dewey Morrison was said
 to have the greatest curve ball in
 the Southern league, which might
 or might not have been ex-
 aggcratiOn, but Phil MOrrisOn's
 SnIomc slant Outbends any exhib-
 ited at RickyOod in several sea
 sons. Of course, the yOunEster
 has lots to learn, experience,
 greater control, etc, but if he can
 master that curve which he has
 the knack of throwing, he should
 develop into one of the best pitch
 CTS in Dixie's major league.
 Another asset possessed py the latest Baron recruit from the Nor risons Is terrific speed on the ball. In his first Southern league game, down at Mobile along toward the last week of the season (Morrison reported to Molesworth on the last road trip of the year last seasonj, Phil slipped the pellet by the Brun batsmen so fast that none of them could touch it eX ,ept on rare occasions. As a result, Phil let them down with three measiey oingles, but six errors behind him lost the game. It was a splendid exhibi- lion by the recruit.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-03-10

In his next start, Phil grew nervous and was taken out. His lack of ex- perience showed up in that game. He was started several times before the season closed and finished up with a record of one game won and two lost.
 His record last season follows:
 Innings pitched, 24; struck out
 batsmen, IS; batsmen walked, 5;
 hits allowed, 20; runs allowed, 10;
 earned runs allowed, 2; average
 number of earned runs per game,
 12; games won, I; games lost, 2.
 Phil is tall, broad shoudered and muscular. He uses a straight delivery, enabling him to get the greatest speed on the ball.
 Young Morrison is only about 2l years of age and has lots of time to develop yet. All his excellent pitching qualities are yet in the rough, and it will take time to polish off the rough surfames. But for actual prom ise and natural ability, there are few recruits with the Barons this season who can touch Phil Morrison,

LEGION QUINT TO
 TRY TO GIVE SLOSS FIVE FIRST DEFEAT.
B. A. c. Players to Make Up Large Part of Legion'S
 Line-U -Up-DanCe
PROBABLE LINEUP

Tonight the btg event for local American Legion basketeers will be staged, when the ex-soldiers will at- tempt to wrest honors from the City league championship winning Sloss- Sheffield aggregation. The game will he played at the Birmingham Athletic club, beginHing at S:30 o'clock and will be followed by dance.
 Tom Estes Legion quintet seems to have plenty of strength concealed in the lineup, with such experienced basketeers as Moore, Greenwood Chisholm, Smith, Bryan and Laughlin- house ready to step into the game to- night. Tank Goodall and Ed Bowron will probably play part of the game for the Legion, although they are not expected to start the contest.
 Moore, Chisholm, Bryan, Laughlin- house and Smith were all members of the Athletic club team of the past sea- son. As they are members of the To- cal post of the American Legion, they are eligible to play in tonight's game.
 The Sloss- Sheffield, namely, Crookes and Montgomery, forwards; Brooks center; Waldron and Whatley, guards, is the same which won the champion ship in the City league. The By-Pro- duct boys went through the entire sea- son without a defeat and will be in excellent shape for the game tonight.
 A dance will follow the contest and quite social affair is being planned for those who attend the game.
 All proceeds of the game will go to Post No. 1 of the American Legion.
