Greenuille Wants 10
 Enter q Ball League


 G-eenville, A~ril 19.-(Sp. .ial.)- The Greenville baseball fans are eager to join any league in this sec sion of the state which will agree to play only home men. Tie matter has been freely discussed on the streets of Greenville since an announcement was made by several towns in south Alabama that they. too, were ready to be a part of such an organization.
 While it is possible for Greenville to put out paid team, it is thought best to put a team in the field com posed entirely of local men for sev- eral reasons. First 1t will be great financial saving and again more inter- est will be created in the games. There are still other arguments in favor of team composed of local players.
 It is rumored that the Kiwanis club will back such an organization in Greenville.

BATES OR DRAKE
 TO FACE MARTINA IN TODAY'S GAME
Moley'S Men Leave on Weeks
 Road Trip After Closing Game With PeIS
By MARVIN arCARTHE

After today,s game with the Peli- cans at Redwood, the Barons leave on a road trip of two series, return ing to Birmingham on April 27, when they meet the Mobile Bears. This afternoons game will be the deciding battle in the Baron-Pel series, as yesterdays victory for the Birds evene dthe series to date.
 Yesterdays was 8 hard game to lose, but the Moley's still stand a good chance to cop the series, pro- vided they can show a little punch in the pinohes. A bingle or two at opportuns moments yesterday would have won that game, but the Barons were barren of such.
 In this afternoons encounter. Mar tina will probably be called upon to toss 'em over for the Pelicans. Mar tina is one of the best pitchers John ny Dobbs has. and, Moley'S men will be facing high class opposition in attempting to solve his delivery.
 Manager Molesworth's pitching se- lection is unsettled, but it will prob ably rest between either Bates or Drake to assufe hurling duties this afternoon. It Is Bates turn to start on the mound, but Drake hasn't been given a start yet, and Manager Molcy may send him to the mound this af- ternoon. Drake's only work this sea son was a bit of relief duty he drew in Nashville, after the Vols had hammered Red Bates off the mound.
 Robertson Coming Through
 There is one fact that is becoming more and more evident as the sea son progresses, and that Is this: Manager Molesworth has a genuine class A backstop in Claude Robert son, the catcher obtained from the Texas league. Robertson is proving himself a reliable man and a star in almost every game.
 In yesterdays game, Robertson hit three vicious wallops. One was screaming drive to left field, that plunked squarely into the glove of Eddie Bogart. The second was line drive to short, that Smith hap oened to be in the way of, but the third was a corker to right center that only the fence stopped. It was a clean hit for Robby.
 The Barons have a good ball club, but must settle down and field in steadier style If they expect to win a majority of their games. The sea son is early yet, but it's time stiff throwing arms were limbering up.
 Books Going Fast
 Manager Billy West. of the Bir- ningham club, stated yesterday that demand for ladies season pass books has been so great that it was neces- sary for him to place supply on sale at Hagan- Dunlap Drug com pany. These books can now be se- cured at both Hagan-Dunlap' and the Birmingham Arms company.
 These ladies season books cost but one buck apiece, and allow their holders free admission twice a week, with a 50 per cent reduction on grandstand tickets at other times during the week.

When you give another fellow

When you smile at some poor lollop.
When you vamp some other bird,
Me? want to take wallop
At the goof you've thus preferred.
I'd consign to utter limbo ~
Every rummy, every gink; u
Each and every brassy bimbo
Who at you has dared to wink;
Say, growl like some old Towser
At each geek who takes you out,
And want to whang the wowser
Slam the geezer, lick the lout.
Am I really jealous? Yea, bo,
I am strong for you, that's straight;
