Art Pond, Mobile
 Catcher, Going to
 New Orleans Pels

Mobile, April 15.-(Special.) )-Art Pond, Mobile boy. who has been with the Mobile club for the past three years, is now a Pelican, and will join the Orleans club under the terms of deal just completed. Pond IS very popular here, and deseryedly so. as he has earned his daily bread all the time he has worn a Mobile uniform While not a star, he has developed rapidly. and that he is rated better than sre average catcher is shown by the fact that Johnny Dobbs, a pretty shrewd judge of ball player, took him just as quickly as he was placed on the market.
 The deal for Pond means that John Schulte will be kept as second catcher, as Bennett Tate, young catcher who came to Mobile from the Three-I league, has been given his unconditional release, along with Kitty Wickham and Outfielder Jenkins. Ponds failure to stick with Mobile was due to the rookie rule in the Southern association, whereby each club must carry certain num- Der of men who have not been in Class A ball more than a year, Pond, of course, was rated as an A player due to his three years of service. while Schulte is classed as an AB man. The best wishes of Mobile fans will follow Art Pond in his new ioh

Flrpo's Successes in U. 5.
 Win Praise in Argentine

Luis again showed real shrewdness by ducking that sort of fight
 Fulton may not be so great as he was, but just the same" said Luis, through an interpreter, q do not think I have had enough experience yet to fight him."
 "Firpo, in the opinion of those who have seen him in action, is d good looking prospect-but he has a great many things still to learn. He is very weak when involved in in- fighting; he is rather slow in think ing out plans and he has only rudi- mentary science. But he can hit that's one thing wich everyone agrees upon.
 Effect at Buenos Ayres
 The fact that Firpo knocked out Maxted and McCann hasn't made him seem like a world beater around these United States. for neither was reck- oned as more than third rater But what an amazingly different effect it has had upon the folks in Buenos Ayres.
 When news was received that Firpo had knocked out McCann, the town went delirious with enthusiasm. Flags were hung out. The pictures of Firpo and Dempsey were placed side by side, with the sign between them marked champions" After think ing it all over. the Argentine folks altered things slightly. They remov- ed Dempsey's picture, erased the "s" from champions and then the win dows displayed a picture of Firpo and the sign champion"
 So wild have they become over Pirpo that the youngster during the past week has received a dozen ca blegrams from his home town, each urging him to jump back home and pick up a million tons of laurel which is all ready for his head. They want to see their champion.
 And so Firpo. even though he has at least three matches in sight. has decided to go badk to the home land for a little while and taste all the sweets of a championship" which his friends wish to shower upon him.

Basketball Foul Rule Changed by
 Gouerning Board

New York, April 15.=Alteration of the foul rule of basketball, including the extension Of the foul line across the playing court and allowing two tries for basket for victims of personal fouls in designated foul zone, was adopted today by the na- tional board of approved basketball officials
 It was the first radical change of the rule to be made by a governing barketball organization in 20 years. and was decided upon after a two- day discussion. during which certain officials recommended abandonment of the basket from foul. and other drastic alterations.
 The board ruled that personal fouls should be declared in event of delib- crate pulling. pushing. charging or tripping, delaying the game, coach Ing from side lines and unsportsman- like conduct.
 For minor offenses. such as viola tion of the running with ball hand behind back and dribbling rules, the ball will be given to the opposing team ont of bounds. When the ball is held within the foul area, it will be tossed up on the foul line.
 In connection with dribbling the board ruled that player may take one step and must get rid of the ball before the back foot leaves the floor.

Although Charlie Frank still holds the reins of authority, Roy Ellam is field manager of the Crackers. The admission was made by Atlanta scribes and officials after almost eight months of "ahems," stalling, Four games will be played by the Barons here this week. After the one game series with Atlanta Monday, the New Orleans Pelicans come here for a three-gam series. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
 All Even at Nashville
 After losing to the Vols yesterday, the Barons now stand all even with Nashville for the series. The final game of the Vol-Baron quintent of battles will be played this afternoon at Nashville, and Birmingham will enther return home a game to the good or one to the bad.
 Manager Molesworth sent two of his young pitchers to the mound yes terday, Bates and Drake. and they were rather badly mauled about by the Vols. The Basons were shut out, to 0, the Vols obtaining 10 lits off Bates and Drake.

Dave stated that Herring's oppon- ent will probably be picked from the following men: Patsy McMahon, In- dianapolis; Larry Avera, Battling Budd. Atlanta, or Young Stribling, Macon.
 Hot After McMahon
 B. A. c. officials have wired Me Mahon several times during the past week relative to the proposed bout for April 2A but Patsy hasn't an swered any of the queries. It is be- lieved that. if McMahon can be reach ed with wire, he will agree to the fight. Consequently, according to Evans, several more days will be spent in trying to land the elusive Irishman for battle with Red Her ring.
 Battling Budd. who defeated Strib- ling several weeks ago: Larry Avera, who made Billy Jingles miss wildly and look almost like an amateur and Young Stribling, who has decisiye.y whipped everything in Dixie but Budd and has defated him once, for m a trio of aces from which to draw a principle that could hardly be im- proved south of the Mason and Dixon line.

PANTHERS LEAVE TODAY TO START TENN. ROAD TRIP
Final Game With Centenary College Nine Prevented
 by Rain
By HORACE RENEGAR.

The Birmingham-S Southern college Partners leave here today for Fay etteville, Tenn, to open their road trip tomorrow against Bryson college. The Partners are leaving the Magic City in high spirits, following their showing against the University of Michigan nine Thursday and their defeat of the strong Centenary col lege outfit.
 Munger field was a verItable sea of mud and water yesterday after noon, obliging athletic officials to call off the final game of the Gen. tenary series. The Centenary visit was great success in every way, and resulted in bringing about a much closer athletic feeling between the two institutions.
 Coach Brown is hoping to start off the strenuous road trip tomorrow by copping a victory to begin with. Bryson college is touted as having the strongest team in the history of the college and the Partners must do their best to stop them. The Pan ther mentors pitching choice is yet unknown, but it is believed that "Feedem" Oates will get the call for the initial mound duty.
 To Play Sewnnee.
 1ueSQdy anu w tuHtSudy lne ran thers tackle the Sewanee combina- tion in the Purple Tigers lair. These two games are certain to be hard fought affairs, but the Cats are con- fident of giving the Tigers a hard scrap. Babe Ruth" Graham is the southpaw who is expected to face the Tigers in the first scrap Frog" Millers day will roll around We'd nesday.
 The Partners camp on the trail of the Castle Heights students Fri day and Saturday. Castle Heights has been playing a good brand of ball judging from the scores of their games, and the Hilltoppers are cer- tain to be up against real aggre- gation.
 The trip will be completed with struggle scheduled with the Wander bilt Commodores. Coach Brown IS certain to pitch his best bet against his alma mater. The Commodores are in a good way to win the South ern Intercollegiate championship again this season, and the Birming- han -Southerners realize that vic tory in this game will mean big feather in their cap. Vanderbilt has just moved down the strong Univer- sity of Michigan nine.

Heiln1an and Hornsby Will HaUe Much Competition in Big League Battery Races

with tremendous force close to the ground and during the time his bat ting eye was so keen he gave one of the best exhibitions that professional baseball ever has seen.
 The pace was too swift to be maintained all of the year. Only a su- per-human batter could have retained such a stride If Heilman had ended 1921 with a batting average of .5O0 he would have put Ruth in the shade, even if the latter did make a better home run record than he had made the preceding season.
 Unfortunately for Cobb, he turned an ankle before the season started. That injury will affect his batting, because player whose ankle bones ache Is not in proper shape to beat out infield hits or scratchy hits to any part of the field.
 Cobb Not Out of It
 Cobb may eventually get going fast in the game this year and may finish with batting average that will put him on top in the race, so far as fig ures are concerned, but 1t won't be the kind of average that would have earned him crown had he played in every game of the year.
 Ruth may run up a whale of bat ting average after he is permitted to play, and he may not. The players are wise. They know that when man sits on the bench day after day and sees things going on in which he cannot participate he begins to fret if he Is not the most placid and complacent athlete in the world. By and by there comes time when something's snaps under the tension his long chafing under restraint files the edge off his game 4
 Other Probabilities
 If Heilman Is unable to come through as the champion batter in 1922 and Speaker, Cobb and Sisler find the task too much for them, per- haps Tobin of St. Louis and Jacobson or Williams of the same team may be dark horses of the season. Three smashing outfielders they are, two of them with batting averages of 1852 and the other with an average of .347. v
 The players are not looking for anyone in St. Louis to win the bat ting championship in the American league except Sisler, yet there are some of them who wonder if 1t may not go there If the stars of the season past are dimmed this year. Some say shnN SOO Nooh may De the QaTK horse of 1922. but Wood may not be able to play in every game. Uncle Robbie of the Brooklyn club, who is as keen judge of batting probabil- ities as anyone in baseball, says Hornsby will retain his title so clear that the National league batting championship Is as good as won un- less injury should befall the St. Louis player.

ATLANTA WINS AT TENDANCE TROPHY

Although nothing official has been given out from league headqua ters t Memphis, yesterdays report from New Orleans that only 4,500 fans wit messed the Crescent City's opening game shows that Atlanta has won the attendance trophy for 1922 offer ed by John D. Martin, president of the Southern league.
 Atlanta's victory was something of a surprise, inasmuch as the other three teams in the upper division were expected to finish high in the attendance race. Memphis, with a pennant winning team, was picked as favorite, but the Chicks could only land third place in the race. Here's the way they lined up:
 Atlanta, with only a mediocre team last year, and with a late starting date, drew 9,512 people. winning trophy.
 Birmingham, with a first division team and good prospects for this year, drew 9.200 and second place.
 Memphis, 1922 pennant winners and favorites to cop the cup, drew S,204, and third place.
 New Orleans, usually a good base ball town, and with a good team for the past several seasons, drew less than 5000 and landed in fourth place.
 Lower Division
 Mobile won the trophy offered for the lower division for league cities with lesser population than the others. The Bears, with several miserable seasons behind them, drew LOGO almost as many as the league champions, and led the field easily.
 Little Rock, with $500 was second, while 4,645 won third for Chattanooga and Nashville finished poor last with $500.
 Later on official announcement of Atlantas victory will be made, but, so far as fandom is concerned, the attendance trophy competition for 1922 is probably a thing of the past hy now
