CITY LEAGUE WILL
 COMPLETE PLANS
nr REN GREEN

Final preparations for the current sea- son of the City league will be practically completed at the meeting which will be held at the Y M. C. A. Tuesday night at s o'clock The response that the local loop has received this year has been very encouraging and banner attend ance is expected at this weeks meeting.
 The main business which will come up at the meeting will be the selection of the different divisions and probably the drafting of a schedule The divisions will be chosen according to the location of the grounds and the probably relative calber of the outfits Endeavors will be made to place the teams as close to- gether as possible and also make the races as even as they can be arranged
 The personnel of the league is greatly changed with only eight of last years members in the fold. but many of the players on teams last year will play with other teams in the league this sea son. The fact that so many of last years stars are getting try-outs and sometimes making good in organized baseball will draw good many of the local diamond athletes into the compe- tition.
 Another matter that will receive spe- cial attention at the meeting will be the

standardization of playing fields. Every effort will be made to make all the da- lation size. All of the fields will be lined off and any other steps necessary to keep the spectators off the field will be taken. Practically all the teams have made arrangements for satisfactory dia- monds, two teams using the same grounds in some cases.
 There is great need for suitable grounds on which to play the national game in the Magic City and some giant strides will probably be made toward tie development of this project in the next few years. There are a great many fans in the city who prefer to witness an amateur contest to one of the profes- sional affairs, and many of these men would be glad to sponsor such move ment as is likely to be undertaken.

had a talk with Bob Andrews, the new golf pro at the Roebuck club Saturday afternoon. First time I'd had the pleasure of chat with the little Scotchman--- yes, Bob halls from the same coun- try that Johnny Walker calls home. He has been in America but a year, and came to the Roe buck club from Athens, Ga. In commenting on the fact that there were so many pros in America who came from Scotland, and explain ing reasons therefor, MT. Andrews stated that as a rule Scotchmen had more patience than Americans. and for this reason they were sought as teachers. He says he likes Birmingham fine and is enthusiastic over the Roebuek. course. At that. though. Andrews made sacrifice to come to Bir-, mingham, as he was in lose proximity to hotbed of Scotch men over in Atlanta. He knows the Ogg brothers, Stuart Maiden, Douglas Edgar and the pro at the Brookhaven course. who IS also a Scotchman.

gotten under way. The three best bet out of the 30 rocks are Bates, Brandon and F'renick. All have been pick-ups for the Baron club, and while they might not get an entire season of Class A baseball out of their systems. they will at least have the satisfaction of starting the campaign with the Barons.
 Hilton Brandon played in the semi-pro ranks a greater part of last year and Moley never had the pleasure of seeing him in full game before he got his Baronial try-out The Baron chief saw him in eight innings of baseball last summer and was tickled with the way he handled himself. He has seen much of his work this spring and that first good impress sion hasn't decreased in the slight est. It looks like Brandon is a sure bet for the second string catching job all summer.
 TWO PITCHERS LOOK GOOD
 From the vast array of rookie pitching talent, Sir Carlton weeded 'em down until he had only two pitching rockies left. One is Red Bates. the Cliff boy, who is ;nak- ing his first try in professional company, and who will at least be carried a few more weeks by the Barons. The other is Frenick the Kansas Sity semipro wonder The Frenick kid worked in Jasper last Saturday, and handled himself in acceptable fashion These two lads are to be given every chance for that fifth pitching job on the Baronial staff.
 HeiIman is another newcomer who will be given a more thor ough looking over but the son of Old Bilr can't exactly be classed as rock, as he was here with the Phils last spring. and has had the pleasure of working out with major league clubs for the past two campaigns,

Pug is TO dub at the royal and ancient game. either. He's played around the courses with Uncle Wilburt Robinson and the boys so much that he would be able to hold his own with many of the best golf shots in Birmingham. No sooner had the Baron gardener hit town than he began to ask questions about the different golf courses. The chances are that Allen will try one or two games a week at the golf course when the Barons are in town this summer. He'll have to make the course in the forenoon to do it. but Pug is just that big a bug.

 The meet will be held during the latter part of this month or early in June, so as not to interfere with ex- hibitions. Pre- arrangement programme of track and field events will be run off simultaneously at Amherst at Wesleyan at the time agreed upon.

Diamond devotees in the orient never have seen Ty Cobb George Ssler and the other luminaries-but, you can't fool transformers tried It during the winter and they've still got a headache over it.
 Gene Doyle of the Los Angeles cluo, conceived the idea last fall of sending a team of all-stars to Hawaii and Japan. He angled for Cobb. Sisler and the others-but he couldn't get lem. All of which saddened but didn't depress him. He decided that inasmuch as he'd slipped the tip to the Orientals that Cobb, Sis- Ter and the other folks would be over there, that he'd do the best he could not to disappoint-
 GENE IS FOXY
 So Gene got together the best possible club and away it sailed to Honolulu parts.
 Having arrived there, Gene sent a bulky party to bat-and permitted the announcement.

 The Hawaiian fans had heard much of Ruth-and the fact that he was to ap- pear drew big crowd. But the Ruth who stepped up that day didn't lose any basebalis. Ills nearest resemblance to AsNtH "e~c HI Duih TIC swung at quite a few. and the pitcher grooved 'em for him nicely so that he might knock out homer. but still he accomplished noth- ing.
 And right away the fans became sus- picious.
 Later "Ty Cobb stepped up and did the best he could. But he did nothing spectacular. The folks became susp cious of him, too. The same thing han pened when "Sisier'' disported here and there, All the ''phonies" were good ball players and, with fair break in luck. might have done something hair rass- ing.

And quickly dis covered that the players were bogus.
 Right then and there it was decided by the tourist leaders that Honolulu wasn't such nice town after all. So hurried preparations were made for a jump to Japan. The ball players are a brave lot. but none was brave enough to want to risk possible riot the next day. They sort of left Honolulu in the dark of the moon.
