JEFFERSON COUNTY PREP BALL TEAMS
 OPEN 1921 SEASON
SHADES-CAHAB PULLS
 RPRISEr-BEATS SIMPSON

The Shades-Cahaba aggregation, which was figured to be the dark horse in the Jefferson County league, knocked the dope for several columns of the w. k ash receptacles by defeating the strong Jefferson County team by an to score
 The pitching of Acton, elongated twirler for the Cahabamen, was un- doubtedly the outstanding feature of the contest. This stalwart diamond star struck out a total of IS Wildcats and helped his own cause along with a nice single. This youngster has worlds ot speed and should be the best twirler in l the circuit. Good, Roberts and Hunter shared the offensive burden for the win ners, this trio accounting for six of their teams bingles.
 The teamwork and smooth play of the victors was a feature of the game. The fielding of the Jeffersonians was miser- able, the eight errors committed con- trfbuting greatly of their opponent SCOT ing. The batting of the losers was also of a very weak variety, only four hits being coined off the Shades twirler. Self was the only batter to hit, he making two of his teams bingles.
 Goode and DeShazo made circuit swats, while Hunter coined a three hassock ticket. Roberts contributed two doubles for the Shadesters, while Self made two bags on one of his hits. DeShazo's home run was the only counter that the Jeff ferson boys were able to get across the pan.
 The Shades -Cahaba warriors have, made name for themselves by cS2plng this contest, and with the new arrival showing up so well the outlook for close race is even better than it was be- fore The Edgewood lads have the foun- dation for a crackerjack combination. and with little more practice will be able to play any team in the league to j., standstill, if not better.

 The catching departments of Cleveland Chicago and Philadelphia, meaning o'Neill, Schalk and Perkins, are so nearly even that they will be discussed here together.
 sO'Neill is the best hitter, Perkins, the best thrower, and Schalk, while not faster than Perkins, is the best run-get ter and the best general of the three There is no equal to the fiery little cracker when it comes to running bail game and keeping every one on his toes. In addition to being an ideal receiver the White Sox star has the instinctive knack of guessing just where foul fly has gone and with his cat-like speed he gets one now and then that either of his great rivals will miss
 O'NEILL TOUCH PROPOSITION
 Steve ONeill is a tough proposition at the plate for opposing pitchers, but can not negotiate the route around the sacks as rapidly as either Schalk or Perkins. He throws like rifle shot and true Ralph Perkins will crowd little ahead of both Schalk and O'Neill this season if he continues to improve. It is a lucky base runner who gets to second ahead of a Perkins throw in spite of a large corps of green pitchers with whom he must work He is equally expert as either of the others in other respects, being able to tag runner, grab a foul and stop wild pitches with exceeding skill Perkins is younger than Schalk and O'Neill and will probably excel his already worthy performances.
 Lees. Yaryan and Jonnard for Chicago; Nunamaker and Thomas for Cleveland, and J. Walker and Styles for Philadel- phia are simply carried for insurance, to do duty in the bull pen and to other wise relieve the first string men of some of the backstopping. In this respect Connie Mack is better equipped than either Dunn or Comisley as both Styles and Walker could glisten some them selves if they were not in the glare of Perkins sun.
 Severeid, Schang and Charity, for St. Louis, New York and Washington, come next in order. All able workmen and all heavy hitters, they will do the bulk of the work for their respective teams. Aside from batting they do not compare with the three men named in the first

group though they are far above the or dinary backstop and good enough for a championship team.
 SCHANG YANKEE RELIANCE
 Schang will have to do practically all the work for the Yankees as his only as- sistant is young Hoffman, who broke in for a few games last year, Wally is a good receiver, but not as good a thrower as any of the others To partially off set this he is a terrific hitter and is likely to win a game at any time with his bat
 Severeid is a fine receiver. not espe- cially brilliant on tagging a runner, d good general, a heavy hitter and with fair speed on the bases Charity will get considerable help from Picinich and Brottem, his assistants. Picinich is 3 great batter and good thrower, but cam not run a game like the others. Josh Billings and Pat Collins will be allowed to work at infrequent intervals to re- lieve Severeid when game is either lost or won. Billings would be first choice in the event of injury to Severeid. LOSES OUT
 Ed Ainsmith went to Japan during the winter and the trip probably cost him his place as first string catcher for the Tigers. He was injured on the trip and was late in reporting. In his absence young Manion showed up so well that he won the regular assignment. His ex- perience in fast company is limited to what he did last season, the record being given herewith. Manion can always be identified by his peculiar throw, he hav- irg the knack of snapping the ball to tho bases with direct overhead movement somewhat after the style of Jimmy Archer of the old Chicago Cubs. though he does not shoot it sitting down as Archer did. Woodall will get the third string job and may be permitted to do a game week behind the bat.
 The Red Sox catching department is the lightest in the league. It consists of Ruel and Walters, neither Of whom is capable of working at a fast clip for more than half the games They are very light hitters, averaging around the .215 mark Both are very good receivers but do not excel in any particular. A young semi-pro, Burt Chaplin. will do service in warming up relief pitchers.
