volumes of Andrcana containing portraits

will give an entirely new aspect to The
early history Of Manhattan Island. Sup
plcmCnting the New York material is a
collection Of the autographs of all the
Governors of New York from the earliest
Colonial times to the present day. In the
library arc also many log-books of vessels
which sailed between England and this
country in Colonial times
without doubt the most precious and
important documents relating to the his
tory of our country are Four Letters of
George ILL.,, in his own handwriting, ad-
dressed to his Privy Council. In them
he gives his reasons for reluctantly grant
ing independence to the Colonies. Ac-
companying these are the Minutes Of the

PeH City Baseball
 Squad Makes Ready
By HORACE RENEGAR

Pell City, April 20.-(Special.)- Prospects for winning baseball ag- gregation here have been considera- bly frightened In the past few days by the working spirit the candidates have shown in practice.
 Manager Johnny Pratt issued the first call for work last Monday after noon, and some 25 men reported for the initial practice.
 the work at Comerdale park was the lack of a first class catcher, but the load may be lifted now. for the Pells have just hung on to a young catcher at Birmingham Southern college who may fill the bill. Rat Scott Is the young college backstop who is re- porting Saturday for a tryout.
 The pitching staff has two veteran twirlers listed. Quail" Hardy, big righthander who pitched with Alex ander City last season, Is on the staff, while Smoky Joe' Adams, an under handed curve artist. will be relief pitcher. Earl Stines, young high school pitcher, also has a good hop on the ball. and. with coaching. may be a winning pitcher before the sea- son Is over.
 The infield will probably be made up of veterans, with a youngster on shortstop. 'Festus" Garrett Is work ing on the first base corner, Joe and Sid Adams are working on second and third bases, while Doc Adams. vete- ran infielder, may be shifted to the outer gardens.
 The outfield should be classy amateur set wit hthree veterans in Blue" Mupgall, "Scissors" Turner. and Doc Adams holding down places.
 The Avondale mills of this place Is backing tho team this spring.

Comparatiue Trials
 of Steel and Wooden
 Shafted Clubs Made

Chicago, April 1s.-Comparative trials of steel and wooden shafted golf clubs were made today by three expert players before officers of the western golf association at Edge water club, but a sixty mile gale with snow on it's wings made the ex- pertinent inconclusive.
 Jock Hutchison, local professional, who is British open golf champion, Laurie Ayton, of Evanston, another Scottish professional. and Chick Evans. former national champion. played several shots into the teeth of the gate with both iron and wood, and then did the same with the wind. The wind all but swept the players off their feet, but several fair shots were made, and they indicated little If any difference between the steel the wind carried only about 175 yards. while with the hurricane at their backs the balls carried 250 yards with no roll on account of the soft turf.
 The players said they could dis- tinguish little difference in the steel shaft, that 1t gave them no added distance or accuracy and did not overcome a bad swing.
 The contention for the steel shaft is that it is more uniform than wood. cheaper and more durable. Manufac- turers of golf clubs. who came from out of town to see the tests, said that although the steel shaft had been barred in Great Britain several years ago and recently by the U. S. Golf association. something would have to be altered to take the place

good shortfielders. He got Wight out of college for this years use, and then sold him to the Yankees before the training season was over.
 When Herring and McMahon meet for the second time, about every real sport, and lover of fights will be at the -ir gside. Mack and Red put up the greatest scrap ever seen at the club, and If they don't repeat 1t again this time there are going to be lots of disappointed fans.
 There will soon be more po- lice dogs in Birmingham than po- licemen.
 With the Ex-Barons
 Bill Peet, writinr- in tie Pi burg Dispatch the other day, had the following to say about tommy Gooch and Pie Traynor. two former Barons:
 Catcher Gooch and Third Base man Traynor are showing their inexperience 70 the ways of the Dig show, but both are trying and mere Is no disposition to blame them for certain mental lapses this afternoon.
 Gooch is learning rapidly, in Iact. Is getting better every day. He has the fight and spirit, also the brains. His single in the sev- enth inning paved the way for a Pirate tally.
 Iraynor Is still over-anxious, both at bat and in the fielA He Is worried because he Is not hit ting, and in the second inning his wiIa throw of Pinelli's easy groun oer gave the Redlegs a tally Pie will soon gain the needed conf,- oence, and once he starts going properly he will make the Pirates whale of third baseman.

 Oates, Birmingham twirier, allowed only seven hits. three less. than the amount made off Murray. but four errors were made behind him, which accounted for Sewapee's higher score.
 Jack Stuart made three hits for the Panthers. while Murray made two bingles for the Tigers. Score:

Not a Bench-Warmer
 Stuffy is decidedly against sit ting on the bench in the majors. He said the past winter that he had spent some of the best years of his career decorating major league benches when he was longing for action. T had rather play with the Birmingham club regularly than sit on any major bench l know of and just work now and then" said Stuffy.
 Kid Elberfelds motto: Say 1t with glowers.
 Probably the only thing that kept Kid out of that battle in Chattanooga was that he thought it was private fight.
 The speeding motorist soon has cop to his fast one.
 Little Richard says the White Sox found something in name after all and treated him like a Kerr.
 Newton In Augusta
 Doc Newton, the former Baron pitcher, had a chance to go with another Southern league club but Doc had already promised owner Frank Barrett of the Augusta outfit that he would report and he made good his word. Then, too, Doc probably did some wise figuring when the offer came to join the Atlanta club. Doc prob ably knew from experience that the Atlanta club has players coming and going all summer. If he failed from the jump 1t would only be a question of few days before he got the pink slip. With Augusta the going will not be so strenuous. He will pitch against Class c batting, and he is just the kind of pitcher the Augustans need. They have plenty of youth. What Neaie Ball needs is one veteran pitcher, who has more brains than arm to do relief duty. and to offer counsel to the youngsters. Doc will come in handy there. for he is one of the smartest men in the game and never passes up an opportunity to put over a little strategy when the occasion offers itself.
 The Cracker management thought of signing zeke Lohman when Memphis let him go, but decided that Zeke was too young and inexperienced for the Atlanta club.
 Getting Down to NormaIcy
 Probably the only real truth told about the sale of ball play CT came about this week, when the Yankees bought Whitey Witt. the outfielder from Connie Mack. It was announced that the Tank owners planked down $10,000 for Witt. That's a reasonable figure and more like 1t. Scribes have been speaking in hundred thou sand dollar terms so long on baseball sales that it's a wonder they could get back to earth once more.
 And now that Witt has gone with the Tanks, fans will no doubt say something about how the mighty have fallen. The all- powerful Tanks go over to Phila- delphia and buy a gardener from Mack. who isn't good enough to be In there every day. Mack was using Witt only occasionally, playing welsch, Miller, Walker and McGowan In the gardens most of the time.

of wood, for second growth hickory was fast disappearing.
 George w. Mattern, of Dayton, Ohio. manager of one of the large manufacturers. said that while his concern had been able at first to get all the hickory they wanted near Dayton. they had been forced, with the spread of golf, to reach further into the available supply until they had gone into Tennessee. and now figured that 75 per cent exported use- able hickory had been exported.
 It is estimated that some $,000.- 900 feet of hickory is used annually for golf clubs.
