ENTRIES IN NET MEET HERE CLOSE THIS AFTERNOON
Cotton States Tourney Be- gins at Local Country Club
 Tomorrow Afternoon

Entries for the Cotton States ten his tournament. which begins on tho clay courts of the Birmingham Coun- try club tomorrow afternoon. were held open until today. and did not close at noon yesterday as scheduled. Consequently, drawings for pairings for first round matches were post poned until today, and won't be an nounced until tomorrow morning.
 However, enough entries were in yesterday morning to justify Secrc- tary Frazier in making the state ment that he is expecting no less than 50 and possibly so entries in the tournament this year, including score or more out-of-town net stars. Birmingham will be well rer- resented in the meet, as local stars are in prime shape and ready for their opening matches.
 Matches Begin at 2 o'clock First matches tomorrow will begin promptly at o'clock. It is hardly probable that all first round matches will be completed tomorrow, and it will probably be Tuesday evening be- fore all matches in this round have been played.
  club has mailed out 300 invitations over the south, and when noon yes terday arrived, the time set for the closing of the tournament, answers to the invitations were still coming in, so Frazier postponed closing of entries another day.
 Competition will include play for championships in both singles and doubles Splendid trophies have been Fe.. ,.tt,, of cf n D bles and consolahons, as well as awards for runners-up.
 A small entry fee must accompany each entry, the fee for the singles being $2 and for doubles team, S"'
 Secretary Frazier wishes it an nounced that after today positiveiy no more entries will be accepted, ana that any local players wishing to enter the tournament must do so py noon today.

 When the Texan is ready to don the spangles he will take up, his old job at third. Stump Clarke will be moved over to first and Johnny Gooch will take up the catching burden where he left off. Gooch, however, could use rest mighty well, as bad hand and bum knee have been giving him fits for the past few days. If Tooter continues to handle the pitching acceptably, Moley may decide to give John Beverly a muchly deserved rest The sandy topped receiver has stuck by the guns nobly this season, and han died slants when he should have been nursing his injuries from the bench.
 Guy Morton's COme-back
 It looks like Guy Morton-.he Alabama Blossom--has pulled come back, and finally regained the stuff he served when recog- nized as the best hurler in the American league. Fans of this section have been pulling for Guy all along. Friday he went the full route, and let the Boston Red Sox down with only two hits. This performance would indicate that he has the effec- tiveness of old. Morton hasn't been used a great deal this sea- son by the Indian management but has gone well in the games he's participated in. His record is four victories and one loss.
 Pete Is Delivering
 Incidentally. it might be men- toned that John Peters, 'Iiaut receiver for the Barons for a couple of campaigns, is deliver ing the goods in the games the Philly management sees fit 10 use him in. Pete boasts bat ting mark of .2s1, having wham- ed out 27 hits for 37 bases in his sS times at bat.
 Hush, little target, don't you cry;
 T. k.'ll get you byc-and-byc.
 Giant Hurling staff.
 If size counts for anything, Atlanta should have the best /, pitching staff in the league. Bill Rariden has gathered under his wing the tallest collection of ball-chunkers ever appearing on one club. Osborne and Marshall are the tallest, each standing we'll over six feet They look about as. big as Keilar Hasty. who chunked 'em for Atlanta .lni Mobile two years ago, and is now with the Athletics.

Hedgers are folks who never come

thing II they weren't afraid they might
make a mistake. Sometimes these
jewellers by the side have good ideas,
but they are afraid to air them. They
fear criticism and escape that incen.
tive TO better effort IL they possibly
can. SO they continue living il the
shade OF the hedges and doing
anything to bring them into their best.
And because Of their peculiar thinking
and habits they are not even harmless.
Such folks need a IRE in the hedge or
something else that will make them be.
