FRANK TABERISKI,
 POCKET BILLIARD STAR, COMING HERE
Cue Wizard to Give Exhibition at the Subway Billiard
 ParIorS Monday

Birmingham cue fans will get another smack of championship manipulations of the chalked stick Monday afternoon and night at the Subway Billiard Parlors. The attraction will be Frank Taberiski, said to be the worlds champion pocket biliardist. He will meet the best men in the game in the Magic City in 125-point matches at rack pool, following it up by an exhibition of fancy shots.
 This is the second exhibition match h the last two weeks for the local poet and billiard devotees and a good att tendance is expected. This match, liAe the one between Yamada and Spears, is under the supervision of the Alabama Billiard association. This organization will more than likely bring some other high-grade billiard and pool players here before the season is over.
 Taberiski is said to be the worlds un- defeated pocket billiard champion, hold ing all records for this branch of tho indoor pastime. He has record high runs of 205 and 23S at rack pool to his credit It is stated that he has never lost match, either in exhibition or cham pionship contests. He is a steady. cool headed artist who never knows when he is in tight place. His repertoire of trick and fancy shots is one of the largest and most sensational in the game
 The tricks that Spears and Yamada compelled the ivory spheroids to commit when they were in town are still the subject of much comment and spacula- ton among local cue circles. Taberiskl is said to be the equal of his two prede- cessors when it comes to the fexeeution of these wonderful and awe-inspiring shots. The games will start promptly 1t 8 and D. m and contiue until one of the contestants has obtained 125 points.

The old reliable Dutch" Bernsen has certainly been occupying his time pound- ing the pill during the past few days. Ii anyone wishes to question the above statement, just cast your optics on the batting averages for the first five ex- hibition games of the 1921 season. The Baron captain has engaged in four con- tests and has compiled a swatting per- centage of an even 500. He is tied with Kane for second in total bases with Il. Sumpter Clarke, outer gardener and swatsmith, follows with an average Of 500, due mostly to his not missing get thing a hit in any game so far played. He leads in total bases with 12 and stolen bases with 3.
 Snug" Kane, young shortstop, is pounding the sphere with great reeu- larity, having amassed a percentage ot .4l2 in the four games iR which he has played. He has a total base record Of II, making two two-baggers and one triple although he is next to the light est man on the squad. Croll is the only other man to hit over 300, but he has participated in only one contest.
 "Stuffy' Stewart, official pep percola- tor, is last in the list with .21S, although he has tota1ed bases. He has one triple

and two two-baggers to his credit He seemed to use up lots of his hits in the Regular Yannigan games and ran out when the real contests were started. SiI- va and Gooch both hit over .250 the former making .274 and the latter .261
 The team batting average for these games has been very encouraging, when one takes into consideration the fact that three of these contests have been against higher than Class A pitching The average of .28O is almost 100 points higher than at this time last year, the 1920 figure having been around .195. The total base average is also good, with 70 basses off % hits.
 The pitching staff has not rounded into form yet, having allowed "A runs in the five games played Frenick has shown the best in the figures, but he pitched against the Walker county ball players and has not yet been tried against high caliber batters. Drake has a very good showing to his credh, allow ing four hits in seven innings Morri- son was the other pitcher to win game he having beaten the University of Ala. bams aggregation. The main fault &ith the twirlers seems to be the lack of Von- trol. but this will surely be remedied with the arrival of warm weather.

l FRANK BERRYHILL
 NOT TO BE ABLE TO PLAY WITH MANDY

Nashville, April 3.-(SpeciaL)-Fra Berryhill, star halfback and third base- man for the Commodores, who turned down an offer for tryout with the Cincinnatl Reds this season, will not be able to appear Tn Commodore dia- mond uniform this season on account of heavy work in the Vanderbilt medi- cal school, where he will receive his M. D. this June. Berryhill for two seasons has been one of the mainstays of Coach Byrd Douglas baseball az gregation and it was hoped that he would. be able to fill his old place at third.
 At present 'Tobe" Woodruff is hold ing down Berryhilrs place. At this early date it looks as if the fight for Berryhilrs job lies between Woodruff and "Scotty" Neill, McGugin's star toe artist of the past season.
 Fish" Wilson at short and Doe Kuhn. flashy little halfback, at sec ond are already playing jam-up ball and with Captain Thomas at first it looks as if Coach Douglas will have little to worry as far as the infield is concerned. Ex-Capt. Mims Tyner is unable to take his place behind the bat on account of influenza and for the present three worthies in the per sons of Hatcher, Hightower and Haw- kins are making a bid fort job.
 Jess Nicely and Tot Mccullough, football buds of the past season, to- gether with Son" Brown, the Babe" Ruth of the s. l. A. A., are holding down the outfield positions. Richard son, Stumb and a flock of other box candidates look good thus far for the hurling staff Frank Godchaux, New Orleans product, who was a candidate for outf1eld honors, tore his knee quite badly in the first practice game of the season and has been forced to quit the squad.

TROOP q OPENS ITS
 SEASON WITH A WIN

Troop 21 baseball team opened it's sea- son with victory over Troop SS lads by the lop-sided score of 16 to 6. The losers made four runs in the first inning, but after that were never dangerous. After the first inning Greco allowed only one run for the remaining six innings he pitched.
 The feature of the game was a steal or home by Greco in the seventh inning. The infield for the winners did not com init an error. but the outfield seemed weak Williamson and Boykins for Troop 21 made two-base hit apiece, the only extra base hits of the contest Troop 3S pitchers were not in form to pitch, as the score indicates.

that Manager Griffith determined to play him regularly. His reputation has been made during the last two years. He will be a great factor in the work of the Washington team. The merits Of Duffy Lewis are too well known to re- auire much space. For number of years he formed with Speaker and Harry Hooper what many critics believe was the greatest outfield combination of ali time. Lewis has slowed up somewhat but is still a strong right-handed batter, a good fielder and terrific thrower Clyde Milan is another star that is beginning to burn red. He can still cover much territory, runners take few liberties with his arm and he hits Cleft handed) near the 200 mark.

In Hendryx, Menosky, J. Collins and Leibold the Boston Red Sox show a far better lot of ball players than the Yankee quartet, but the home run punch is conspicuous by its absence. Hem -t:ryx is a good fielder. Menosky is a fine fielder, hits left-handed, is weak against south-paw pitching, and is the fastest and best base runner on the team. John Collins hits right-handed and is fine fielder. but only fair on bases. (Conins' fielding figures are for the 1918 season.. Ieibold, batting left handed. hits regular pitching hard, though he had poor year in 1920. Sam Wick is mediocre performer who hits right handed when he hits.

Manager Mack'stgreate trouble in re- cent years has been to find fielders who could hit or hitters who could field. He thinks he has that combina- tion now. He has C. Walker, 9 right handed slugger who has seen his best days and the only veteran on the team. Frank Walker Is a young lefs-handed batter who made a good showing dur- inf the latter part of last season. He is not pow in god health. Welcn will play right field when eft-handers pitch. This young man bats right handed and is likely to team it with either Lawton.

The Chicago outfield consists of the veteran Hooper, best of all outfielders who play the right garden; John Mos til, a right handed youngster who has had two years experience in Milwau- kee; Falk, a Texas collegian who has shown so much stuff that he may get the left field berth in the Tiddled Sox team; Amos Strunk, veteran of many years. who is almost through as a major leaguer. and Ed Murphy, cham pion pinch hitter of the world. If Mur- phy could field as he can hit and run bases, the Sox situation would be much brighter. Of all these. Mostil is the only right-handed batter.

Four new names appear in the list of . American league managers, the most in- teresting being Tyrus R. Cobb of De- troit. His acceptance of the leadership of the Tigers again places him in a po- sition to challenge Manager Speaker of . Cleveland for the allround individual championship. George McBride of Wash ington, Lee Fohl. St. Louis, and Hugh Duffy, Boston, will all have large fol- lowings pulling for their success.
 BRILLIANT PLAYERS
 It is worth noting that the outfielders in the American league include an un- usual number of exceptionally brilliant players. The pickets this year comprise far more than one-third of the run get ting strength of their respective clubs. Several managers will alternate outfield- CTS to suit the pitching, but if compelled to choose three men for regulars for each team it is found that there would be about two left-handed batters for each right-handsr Washington, Cleve- land, Detroit and St. Louis are especially favored in center field.
