CHICKS TO REPORT FOR THEIR FIRST PRACTICE MONDAY
Spencer Abbott Has About De- cided on His InfieId and
 0utfieId Line-Up

| Memphis, Tenn, March 12-(SpeciaL)- Despite the fact that there are over 70 players on the roster of the Memphis club the chickasaw lineup. with the exception of picking pitching staff. is l about determined. Spencer Abbott, new chief of the Tribe, has announced that he is not going to bring more than 9 players here. Reporting time is set for Monday, but on account of deals pend ing for the disposal of several players on the list, Chief Abbott has not made it public just who will be here
 From where we sit, and it is the opin- ion that Abbott has the same view, the following is the manner in which tha Chicks are expected to line up:
 McI4arry, with the Chicks last season, first base Lewis with the Chicks last season, or Yockey, from Joplin, second base; High with the Chicks last sea- son. third base; Outfielders Williams, drafted from Fort Worth; Wilhoit. pur- hased from Toledo, and Camp, drafted from Dallas.
 The catchers are expected to be Dowie and Hungling. Bischoff will be brought back. but Meyers will be disposed of. Bill is not expected to report.
 PITCHING STAFF
 Selection of a pitching staff Is the task that confronts Abbott, and what looms up as a difficult task. despite the fact that he has 20 to select from. Of the 20 now on the roster, it is hardly likely that more than 10 will be seef here. Goodbred Marshall and Albrs, left-overs from last season, will not be back. Tuero, Fowlkes Thweatt. Nern.i and Wolfe will be back. Brown, secured from St. Paul, was with the Tribe the latter part of 1919, and it is believed will be one of the regulars. Boyd and Marks did not have impressive records in the Western league last season, but Abbott, who piloted Tulsa to a pennant in the same league, likes both men. Chambers, a left-hander, won 10 and lost eight for Kalamazoo last season. Rolfe is a young left-hander from Fort Smith in tho Western association Wilson is a. big right-hander, who won eight and lost four for Huron in the South Dakota league. Zanheiser, right-hander. was purchased from Toledo, who drafted him from Bloomington, where in 1919 he won 20 and lost 10 and last season won 13 and lost fl. Abbott knows Plane, Henshaw and McCloskey.
 AFTER VETERAN SOUTHPAW
 Abbott is not yet satisfied with his pitching staff, and is looking for a sea- soned left-hander. Abbot is now making a tour of the major training camps in Texas and will return Monday to well come the first reporting Tribesmen.
 With the outfield and infield practi- cally decided, it is not believed the re- cruts will cut much of a. figure during the rehearsal days.
 The first exhibition game will be played on March 26. Following is the exhibition schedule
 March 26-27-2S St. Louis American (second team); March 2s-3o, Boston Americans; March 30-April 1-2 Polarihe5 of Memphis; April 8, New York Ma tionals; April 4-5, open; April 6-7 Chi cago Americans; April 8, Boston Ma tionals; April 9-10 Pittsburg.

Miller Asked
To Help Solve
Rent Law Smart
Continued from page ouc,

according to Commissioner Hirshhed,
that an allowance should not be made
for depreciation, in as much rs the
steady increase in property values
more than offsets such deprecias ion.
The portion of the recent decision
permitting the landlord to charge such
repairs as new boilers, roofs, eta, to
current expenses is declared unfair.
Under this clause present tenants
would be compelled to pay n shan, of
the rent of tenants for the next five
or ten years. The committee considers
that such expenditures should be
charged off gradually.
The resolution of the COMMITTEES is
as follows:
Whereas, above all other considera-
tons, the rent and housing problem is
of the utmost Importance to the health,
morals and social welfare of the peo-
pie and presents a problem which can
not be settled on it's economic merits
alone, nor by applying the ordinary
rules Of equity without the danger of
sitting the common dictates Of hui
mainly;
Whereas. congestion and overcrowd-
ing have been proven to exist In the
City of New York in degree menac-
ing the common welfare of the COM
munity and stability Of the govern
ment;
Whereas, the building enterprises
now in process are insufficient for the
natural increase in population and do
not provide for the shortage that has
been created during the last four or
five years;
Whereas, there can be no doubt that
