BEST BATTING TEAM
 IN NATIONAL LEAGUE

The national league couldn't pro- ducc as well balanced batting team as the American league because 1t hasn't the 300 hittcrs to draw from. Fouruier of tho Cards at first, Hornsby of the same club nt second, HoIIocber of the Cubs at short and Miit Stock of the Cards playing third. Almost St. Louis first line of defense. Roush of the Reds in center, Young of the Giants playing right nnd Wheat of Brooklyn taking care of left would produce powerful hitting trio. DaIy of the Cubs is the only catch CT in the 300 class, and BurIeigh Grimes and Earys arc the hurIcrs who hit nt n 300 clip. teams batting average of .342 would give the National a lower rating than the big guns of the American.

 TOWARDS PSYCHOLOGY

Savannah, Ga, January S.-(Special.) ) Speaking of your modern, scientifical- ly inclined athlete, here's an Instance that has proven interesting to local followers of sport:
 Charlie Cutler, wrestler, who is stop ping in Savannah since his match with Zbyszko, awaiting an engagement to meet Heracle Wednesday night, has been spending his holidays discussing psychological themes with interested hearers and participants. Cutler has well defined beliefs as to mental and psychic science. being versed on the schedules of belief of Sir Oliver Lodge and the other eminent spiritualists.

 BRYAN AT CENTER

High Pockets Bryan seems to have the field to himself at center these days. The lanky baskeeter has shown sur prising amount of ability in the games already played and has stuck to his post faithfully. He is tall and fast. He is capable of outjumping the majority Of the centers that he will have to face this season. He is also an accurate shooter, and has already scored many points for the B. A. c. this year.
 Bryan is a good defensive man, and he will need every bit of his skill in play ing against such man as Morrison, star center of the Atlanta team Morri- son is one of the most accurate shoot- CTS on Dixie courts, and he can bo counted upon to give the Clubbers all the trouble they may be expecting.
 Hutsell stated that he may shift Shu- german over to center from guard. Clemmie is rather tall, husky chap and, with a few days training, should be able to hold down pivot duties with sout any trouble He is close guarder, also, which would come in mighty handy to halt the superb offensive work of Morrison.
 STAR GUARDING PAIR
 Glenn Laughlinhouse and Frank Smith have turned out to be wonderful com bination at the guards. While Laugh1fn- house is a splendid defensive man, turk ing beneath the basket and breaking up many a prospective scoring combination, Smith is more of an offensive guard. charging down the court to meet on- coming plays. With Smith playing over the court and Laughlinhouse guarding the basket, it takes a really fine scoring combination to tally many baskets against the Ciubbers.
 In case another guard is needed in the game. Clemme Shugerman is ready to step into the breach on a moments notice.
 Hutsell has many reserve players whom he could use in a pinch. and he states that his squad is in really fine condition for the battle Saturday.
 The game will begin promptly at s:% a clock and will be followed by dance

THREE GOOD FORWARDS

At forwards, Hutsell has his old re- liable trio, Hungry Floyd. Hugh Mont somery and Gillie Chisholm By his stellar work in the three games already played by the Clubbers, Floyd seems to have won his position at one forward. Floyd is of the variety of forwards that can make a team by themselves He IS fast and shifty, a splendid floor man and an exceedingly accurate goal shoot.

 T Montgomery and Chisholm are stiif fighting it out for starting honors. The : former is light, but fast and shifty on the offense, while Chisholm is more of defensive player. Montgomery may start the game Saturday on account of his ability to get aloose and secure free shots, although Chisholm's ability to bold down his opponents score as well as being an excellent offensive man may draw the assignment himself Coach Hutsell admitted yesterday that

 Coach Hutseil stated that he expects to use only seven men against Atlanta Saturday. In order to do this, his var sity men will have to be in the best of shape as only grueling battle can be expected with the ancient rivals of the local SlagtOwn aggregation.
