AMERICAN LEGION QUINT TO BATTLE
 SLOSS THURSDAY

The death knell of the local cage in- terest will be sounded Thursday night at the B. A.

RTS--- LEWIS TO BAR HEADLOCK TOMORROW ---SPORTS
Panther Baseball Practice to Begin
 Sometime This Week

Panther baseball prospects. appear brighter every day, but it remains to be seen what will happen to them when they really get out on the diamond and stack up against a strong team. Brigh- prospects have mean habit of buckling up like a flivver in an auto wreck when the umpire yells play ball
 First base is the strongest position Tn point of numbers on the Panther layout. Three worthy aspirants are on the hill who can lead any college initial sacker a merry race when it comes to fielding. Joe Stuart claims the first-base honors, and so does Jack Stuart, while Shorty Propst may try his hand at holding down the initial sack First is just about the only certain infield berth that is spoken for by last years men, or men of whom anything is known. Ava Baker will try for some of the jobs. Ava was sub last year, and was going good when the curtain was rung down. Perry Scrtvner and Coop" Green are two more infield prospects who will make some one hustle for the first-line trenches.
 Back in the garden we will find Bob Rowe. stellar left-felder of last year, Mike" Norton of the same edition, and probably Eddie Lewis in the other gar den, unless some big boy turns up who can roll him for the job Propst, unless he is needed in the first line, will prop ably grace the greensward
 Of course Greek Griffin will back stop for the Partners, as he is first class catcher. Aubrey Miller will hurl, and will be assisted in that line by Joe Wheeler and Laney.
 The prospects are somewhat limited. but what there are look like good stutI for diamond aggregation.
 Practice will begin this week, and the bugs will get a chance to give them the double O, and see for themselves

CHAMP HANDICAPS SELF FOR BATTLE WITH FRENCHMAN
Frenchman Will Have Chance To Hold His Own With
 Eddie at B. A. C.

The news that "Strangler' Lewis will perform without the hold from which he got his nickname, namely the deadly headlock, has been received with in terest by the local sport followers who have already inargurated flaming bees where the Lewis Zolar match will be decided long before the contestants en- ter the roped arena tonight After witnessing Lewis with his pet means for downing an opponent, the Magic City wrestling enthusiasts will have a chance to justly judge for themselves whether the headlock has done as much for Lewis as some of the critics are saying
 The attendance which was expected to be one of the capacity taxing variety, is looked to be even a larger one on account of Lewis's decision to bar the headlock. Frantz zolar, who will be Eds opponent at the mat en- tertainment, is determined to show Lewis is favorite among the local wrestling colony, this will be a pretty hard task. The Frenehman will pro- bably depend on double wrist lock to bring about the cherished downfall of the champion.
 His wristlock, zolar advocates, is like none other in existence, he hay ing tackled on several additions of his own inspiration that have rendered it very effective against almost any op- ponent Frantz will be q little lighter than Lewis, who has taken on bit of weight recently. This weight wont matter much, for Caddock gave away fifty pounds to Lewis and then stayed with him almost three hours. Of course one does Lot consider Zolar in a class with Caddock as yet. but as he will be under only a twenty pound dis advantage he should have better chance of staying with him.
 Tommie Tompkins, who has charge of the training of the local boys has arranged a splendid list of prelimi- naries which will tend to liven up the earlier portion of the entertainment The first bout will begin at S:30 and each preliminary will last for a period of fifteen minutes if a fall does not occur before that time is up.

CINCINNATI sEMI-PROs

Two Cincinnati semi-pros are to be fielder, and Coyle infelder.
 Ed Manning, retired for three years, is to return to the club and try to come back. Ed also will bring along a younger brother.
 Chicago will contribute a couple Of ten. St. Louis will send couple of out fielders: Green and Kempin.
 The rest of the rockies never have been heard of before in the Southern associa- ton, but all of them have long list of recommendations attached
 With Miller, Brottem, Yellow Horse, McGinnis, Distel and Hunter of last years team gone, Kid Elberfeld will have to do lot of developing to make a team out of the material he now has. Even all of the old men still owned by the club may not be in the opening day line up. "Scrappy'' Moore is a holdout, and the local club bosses admit they would like to sell him to some other club. Pres ident R. G. Allen sent "Scrappy'' a con- tract providing a raise over last year s salary of $50 per month, but 'Scrappy' promptly sent it back with the announce ment that it would take real dough- to get him to play any more baseball for Little Rock. Proxy Allen said that he made his best offer the first time, and he and the Kid are out looking for an- other third baseman.
 The local bosses also are looking far and wide for a second baseman, and they want another experienced outhelder and right-handed pitcher to take the place of Yellow Horse, who is due to at least start the year with Pittsburg. The club is reposing a lot of faith in Grover Land, but has Kohlbecker and youngster by the name of Girtz from Elgin Ill, in reserve.

HOW PERRY WORKED

Speaking of cussing and bearing in mind there are any number of men mixed up in sports who would like to emulate General Dawes every now and then, but who can not afford to give vent to their feelings, because of their re- ligious beliefs, brings to mind Preacher Perryman. who formerly tossed balls for the Barons. Perry was very devout, and despite nu- merous aggravating things that happened, he is always said to have held his tongue, if not his temper
 It was said of Perry that he never ''cussed," even though glar- ing errors were piled up behind him. A teammate once said that Perry would fume little, and get exceptionally peeved, but with each succeeding error he would exclaim: Judas Priest!'
 Now that Cobb is manager of the Detroit Tigers. who'll be the first to intimate the DetrOfters are af- fiicted with Typhus.
 NICK AND LEWIS BUDDIES
 Every time Ed Lewis comes to town he makes a bee .line for the T. c. l. plant at Ensley and mitts Col Carl Landgrebe. The two are close friends, but Nick Wolter, the gent with the Santa Clausian torso, who is chef out there, and has been for seven years, asserts that there are other reasons for Eds hurried trips to the plant.
 He wants to get some of my pan cakes" said Nick. T fed Ed pan cakes when he was climbing to the title. Now he is champion. My pancakes did it, and An! how you should see that Ed go after these cakes. When he gets through with a plate it looks swept as clean as the land before Verdun.' Nick is staunch supporter of Eds, and says he helieves he will rule the roost

 SUBSTITUTE FOR HEADLOCk
 Lewis, who will try to put the entire Zolar system on the bum at the Athletic club Tuesday night, as serts that in his belief they cannot bar the head-lock from the mat game. Don't think I will be caught mapping, if they should outlaw my pet hold" said Ed. "Of course, 1t would be a crime if they should rule it as illegitimate, after l have spent all these years in perfecting the hold, and I honestly believe 1t has as much right in wrestling as the toe-hold or Joe Stecher's body scissors. but if they should come along and take this main offensive away from me, I'll show 'em some thing just as good. Don't 1ool yourself by thinking I've been asleep all these years"

THREE CITIES HAVE .MONOPOLIZED THE
 GREATEST HURLERS
Starriest of Moundsmen Be- Ionged to New York, Bos-
 ton or Chicago
By JAMES J. coRBETT

It is rather singular fact that three cities have monopolized in the owner ship of the starriest pitchers the game has produced.
 Brilliant moundsmen have been ae- veloped and cavorted in other pastures. But when summing up the great twiriers of the past and the present, It IS ois- covered that the greatest of them nave worn the livery of either New York, Bos- ton or Chicago.
 MATTY WAS GREAT Christy Matthewson is regarded by 1 some as the greatest finger Of all tune And Matty was giant. Amos nusl, | was another immortal who rose to famt and undying glory in the Gotham uni form. And then there was Tim keefe the great pitcher of the olden days ant Mickey Welch, another who will ne'e be forgotten.
 In. the years since baseball began hundred pitchers have battled In NeV York livery and have gained cer.ah measure of praise. But of all that grouI those four-Matty. Rusie. keefe ant Welch-stand out pre-eminently. And no l oniv do they constitute the greates II quartet that ever battled under the Nev l York standard but certainly rise [ ethereal heights in the ranking or th truly greats.

 SIGN ONLY TWO NEW VETS
 The Little Rock club has done consid- erable signing and some buying since the close of last season, but has added only two men who have records in baseball as high as Class B. They are Grover Land, a veteran catcher. who has done time in the majors, and Don Brown, said to have been one of the best outfielders in the Texas league last year.
 Another new Traveller is Guy Sturdy, last year with Sweetwater in the little West Texas league. Guy is a first base man. Waller, a considerably experienced Arkansas boy, has been signed to play short. Waller has never been in organ ized ball,
