DEMPSEY LEAVES ON HIS EUROPEAN RING TOUR TODAY
Jack EmuIating Habits of Other Famous Worlds
 Boxing Champions

New York. April 1o.--In his inva- sion of Europe. Jack Dempsey. who sails on the Acquitania tomorrow, will be emulating the habit which most of the American world heavy weight champions have adopted since the nomadic John l.. Sullivan took England by storm.
 The Dempsey party will land at Southampton and proceed to London by rail to look around. Jack Kearns, the champions manager. has no defi- nite plans, but, from a perusa1 of the passports the group is carrying, 1t appears none of the numerous lands are to be missed.
 At his hotel today, witnessing the packing of his wardrobe, the world 8 heavyweight champion, said he is more apprehensive of sea sickness than of any fighting that may be of fered. Manager Kearns, Joe Benja- min, Pacific coast lightweight and friend of Dempsey and Teddy Hayes, Dempsey's secretary, make up the party.
 John l.. Sullivan. James J. Jeffries and Bob Fitzsmmons were heavy weight champions, who made similar trips, though for Fitzsimmons, born in Wales it was a return journey. Sullivan created the precedent. None of these trips is remembered by the important ring bouts they produced.
 After Jeffries. Jack Johnson, the negro champion, visited foreign coun- tries and fought some bouts abroad.
 Friends of Dempsey wished him bon voyage at private festivities in his honor tonight.

HolUe Picks Pirates to
 Cop the National Rag

No, the Giants will have to win again
 before will believe they can. With two Pittsburg pitchers and one Giant catcher the Cardinals would
 have the flag nailed fast by August first. Hitting power is enormous and fielding is satisfactory but the pitch ing as it now grades out Is just so
 so and the receiving no better. Sec
 ond place by a narrow margin will
 be fine for the Cards.
 Will Cause Trouble Fred Mitchell is going to cause
 lot of trouble for every one. If both Marquard and Frank Miller can come through strong during the last half of the season there may be repeti- tion of the 1914 campaign. The Braves are not weak in a single spot but there is no single huriing star
 among their good pitchers like Cooper, Nehf, Alexander or Grimes. Outside
 the battery points, Holke at first Is
 the only man who could be replaced
 to advantage without securing star. vet Holke led the first basemen Of the league last year in fielding per
 centage However, he is not strong. | Must Rely on Vets
 f Manager Robinson must rely, Tn | the main, on the old men to carry him i through again and it appears that
 the four clubs named above will be
 little more than they can handle
 There is some great pitching strength on this team, particularly Grimes.
 Two rockies, who really look good | will divide most of the catching ana Schmandt ranks high among the nrst basemen, but the rest of the team does not equal Pittsburg, New forK or St. Louis.
 1 The Reds have a good outfield, even without Roush, with him in 1t Is very strong. Young Pete Donohue will
 prove a sensation on the slab before the season is far along and, likewise everyone will be talking about Cav eney at short and wondering how ne came to be overlooked for five years
 There is not enough material of this
 class thought to beat Brooklyn.
 Philadelphia won nearly half the
 games last year after August first ana | the team is quite bit stronger now than then. Fletcher, though old, IS
 a great addition for this one year. lIf Lee Meadows does not graduate 10 ltbe Giants early in the season, the
 Phillies should beat out the Giants,
 who are out to build up an entirety
 new team around Alexander and Hol- 1 1ocher.

Simpson Decisiuely Defeats Mountaineer
 Nine by 12-2 Score

Although the season does not off cially open until today, the first game of the Jefferson County High school baseball league was played yesterday afternoon, when Simpson high schools junior Partners defeat ed Shades-Cahaba Mountaineers. F to 2.
 The consistent success of the Ju- nior Partners has caused local prep fans to more or less name them as favorites to cop the flag in heIeague. Simpson has a good defensive in- field, a hard hitting outfield, one of the best catching staffs in the league, and corking good pitching corps In Hamilton, Norwood and Baxter.
 The overwhelming defeat of Shades Cahaba was something of an upset. for the Mountaineers were doper to give the Junior Partners a hot bat tie.
 Dukie Hamilton pitched a splendid game, holding the hard-hitting Noun taineers to three hits.
 Acton started On the mound for Shades-Cahaba, and, barring the first frame, dlu very well until the sixth, when Charlie Hartsfield slammed q home run with the bases full for simpson. Hamilton's triple in the | first drove in two runs.
 Hartsfield, Hanna, Hamilton, Alex ander and Senn each made two hits for Simpson.
 A. Hunter played best for Shades cahaba, driving in both runs, and once going way back to the bank be- hind the road in centerfield to drag down a long drive. The game was played on Shades -Cahaba's field

Five More to Go
 Moley must dispose of five more men before midnight is chirped by the cuckoo clocks to- night. Herb Brenner, the first sacker; Railroad Nichols, the left-handed finger: Joe Williams, a gardener and couple of other pitchers must be sent somewhere by Wednesday. All are good men. and should have been placed be- fore now. but Moley is finding 1t more difficult to place good ball players this season than ever before.
 Workout Is Held
 Back from victorious jaunt of two days in Mississippi. the Barons were not allowed to loaf on the job Monday. even though they had no game scheduled. Moley and his cohorts spent busy day at the lot and got in some great practice heath as, warm an April sun as ever shone.
 The workouts will slacken up bit today, and Moley will hold skull practice with his regulars, going over the fine points of the game, rehearsing the signals, and preparing for the opener on the morrow Every athlete on the club will be in bed by o'clock tonight if the Baron boss has his way. He wants 'em primed for the crucial test of an opening game at Redwood Wednesday, The first game always takes every ounce of strength a player possesses, for the big crowds, the bedlam and the tension puts his nerves on edge.
 
 Thrice welcome, Harry
 Steamboat Harry Johnson ac- companied by his 90-lung- power voice and a varied assortment of whist brooms is expected to dock in Birmingham some time today. The lad with the nautical name will be umpire -in-chief of the opening battle when the Vols meet the Barons and fans are happy that Steamboat Is with us once again. He pastimed in the Sally league last season. Harry will add pep to the work when the athletes start the big battle tomorrow and pry off the lid.
 When Bosses Moley and Smith went over to the Tennessee me- tropolis and found out that Stuffy Stewart was not coming back they began to sing "The Memphis Blues"
 Stuffy has been awarded a place of honor in the Pirate line- up, for the time being at least. He leads off for the Corsairs, and will probably get that place in the opening game.
 Roy Ellam, ex-Baron, who Is one of Atlanta's many managers, is playing the shortfield for the Crackers and leading off the bat ting order.

In the National

New York, April 1O.-"All prospects point to another suc- cessful baseball season." said President John A. Heydler of the National league today, in dis cussing the outlook in the senior association.
 '"rhe National league will open its forty seventh annual pennant race on Wednesday,. in possession of worlds championship honors, well balanced clubs and the con fidence and following of baseball patrons in both east and west" he continued, "and I feel safe in predicting high class play, close race and fair share of the patronage which in the past has caused baseball to be termed the national sport.
 At least five clubs in our league have a chance to win the 1922 pennant and since nothing is certain in baseball, any one of the other three may spring a sur prise and confound even the ex- perts.
 'Boston, Pittsburg and St. Louis, on the showing in 1921, must be given a chance and I am inclined to believe that these clubs are stronger today than was the case seven months ago. If Brooklyn gets off to a good start, it's pitching staff will carry the club far and the teams can not but be considered as a pen nant factor.
 "The fact that Judge Landis will devote his entire time and attention to the game this season, and, as high commissioner. visit all the major league cities, will also exert an influence for greater popularity among the followers of the game and greater efforts among the players and club owners to maintain the standards and pace which Judge Landis has set for the game"

Barons Ready For Opening Game
MAJOR LEAGUE PREXIES PREDICT
In the American

Chicago. April 10.--A predio- tion that the race for the pen nant in the American league this season would be one of the best in years, was made tonight by B. B. Johnson. president.
 Since the early expansion movement of the American league" he said, there have been few years when the organization approached a championship sea son with so many real contend eds for the flag. It is fortunate these conditions exist. as base ball enters a period fraught with a certain degree of uncertainty.
 "It is everywhere conceded that New York and Cleveland teams will again measure strength for the prize, and those who have followed closely the much improved St. Louis Browns and Washington Senators are firm in the declaration that both clubs will prove worthy op- ponents for the leaders in last years race.
 The Dtroit club is a problem with it's new factors, and may challenge the respect and fear of the teams in the first flight.
 Boston. with its batting strength, will prove no mean op- ponent, and 1t can be safely as- serted the Chicago White Sox and the Philadelphia Athletics have been measurably ~bettered.
 "The year promises to be eventful for the American league and will be crowned next fall with the opening of the Yan- kee's new home in Greater New "

Pelicans, is starting the season with an amateur on the short field. Dohbs has elected to use Wight, the former Tulane foot ball star on the shortfield over all other competition.
 While the Pelieans always have the jump on the other Southern league clubs when 1t comes to conditioning, 1t does not seem that they have made the usual headway this year. Dobbs has just completed seven-game se- ries with Billy Smiths Shreve- port, Texas leaguers. and the Smithies won five out of seven. Billy Smith is the man who for merly piloted the Atlanta Crack CTS, and who could have at one time been elected king of the world so far as Atlanta fans were concerned
 Fine Plant At Memphis
 Redwood field, long looked upon as the best ball park in the minor leagues, now has rival in Russwood. Colonel Quack Smith went out to Tom Watkins new baseball park at what was for merly known as Red Elm park Sunday, and came back to Bir- mingham with gobs of praise for the new baseball plant, MT. Wat kins took some of the thousands of dollars ~he made last year while turning out a pennant win ner, and built the new lot.
 Local fans have been watching Memphis this spring, and they couldn't quite get the drift, when Abbott disposed of two of the heaviest hitters in the league-Rhino Williams, who was sold to Mobile, and Don Brown, who was disposed of to the New Orleans club. Those in on the know now say that Rhino and Abbott had many run-ins last season and were at daggers' points throughout the season. The cause for Browns disposal Is said to have been due to the fact that he had q chronic habit of breaking the training rules.
 Memphis will be weaker in the outfields than last year, lost a regular treasure In Andy High at second, and will miss Bud Hungling more than anyone else on the roster. To Hungling was given much credit for the Chicks winning the pennant last season. It was his generalship that steadied the pitchers and made lem win, say the wise heads.
 
 Bill Peet, writing in the Pitts burg Dispatch, has the following to say about the Pirate infield, now that Stuffy Stewart has been placed on second and Pie Traynoi on third:
 Pirate fielding. with Stewart on second, is delight to witness Stewart and Maranville can make plays around second base that will cause Pittsburg fans to sit up and stare pop-eyod. Tray- nor Is playing third as if he had always been there. while every- body knows how Lefty Grimm can handle a glove on firstn
