Bates Makes Fine Showing

Red Bates, who was farmed out by the Barons last season, made a great showing in his game against the University of Alabama yesterday. Red worked five full innings against the Crimsons. allowed only three hits, and was not scored upon.
 Local fans are commenting gener- ally on the decided improvement which Bates has undergone since his first trial with the Barons this time last year. He has attained poise and deliberation, two assets which go a long ways towards making a suc- cess of any twirler. With the natural ability he has, and with a lit- tie more experience, Bates should de- velop into one of. the best pitchers in the Southern league.
 Dutch Krehmyer celebrated the afternoon yesterday by smacking out three safe blows. Krehmyer looks like find at second base. and seems sure to start the season in the Baron ial infield.
 The Crimsons have nice college ball club, and should give other s. I. A. A. teams trouble this season. Hinton is nifty little southpaw. and pitched fine ball until he went up in the air in the third inning.
 A full week is ahead of the Barons. for, in addition to the three week. end games, two work outs will be staged each morning at Redwood Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. A Regular Yannigan game may be played during the first part of the week, also.
 Contrary to expectations. neither Robertson nor Harper, later arrivals in the Baronial camp, have been al lowed to take part in the week -end games. However, both are sure to be seen in action against Toronto or Chicago. and their addition to tho team should strengthen the line up considerably.

Manager MoIesworth Returns

Carlton Molesworth has returned from Pirate headquarters at Hot Springs, and, while there is not d glum look on his countenance. nei- ther is his grin acerage out of the ordinary.
 ''No, I have nothing new" quietly answered the chubby pilot when eager scribes pressed him for infor nation after the usual How de- dos" had been passed. q just dropped in on George Gibson to look over his stock in general. and to take look at my boys trying for berths with the Bucs. May have something later. but there's nothing new at present"
 Shutter Matthews has had charge of the Barons while Manager Moles- worth has been out of town, and the veteran has gotten some good base ball out of the colts at Redwood. Moley will resume control of the reigns of authority at tomorrows s workout. and no doubt will note with satisfaction the thoroughness with Shutter Matthews has done his work this week.

These are the games on the sched- ule for this week:
 Thursday, at Redwood, To-
 rOntO Internationals.
 Friday, at Redwood, Toronto
 lDternatiOnals.
 Saturday, at Rickwood, Chi-
 cagO White SOx (Americans).
 Of course the classier clubs will De favorites to win the games, but there is always the chance of a minor league outfit walloping the big fei- lows. and that's the reason fans turn out to witness early spring ex- hibition games.
 Toronto played at Redwood last season, then under the leadership of Larry Doyle, who is now pilot of the Nashville Vol outfit. The Maple Leafs, as the Toronto pastimers are called, played a fast game of base ball. and the exhibition was well worth the visit to Redwood park.
 White Sox Rejuvenated
 The Chicago White Sox have not played here in recent seasons, and will be a new attraction to Birming ham railbirds. The shattered Sox outfit which won the pennant a couple of years ago has about been rebuilt now, and Bill Gleason's crew is formidable one. With such stars as Ray Schalk in the lineup, the White Sox have proven a good draw ing card all year, and are capable of putting up a great game of base ball.
 Next week, on Friday and Satur- day, the Barons play at Meridian with the Cotton States league team of that place.
 The Barons have been playing good baseball during the last couple of weeks, and ought to be able to make things interesting for their opponents at Redwood this week.

CRUDE OIL OUTPUT
AT new HIGH MARK
Total of 1,6so,ooO Barrels Daily
Production Reported for All
Working Wells.

NEW YORK, December 25.-Produc-
ton Of crude oil in the United States
Is now establishing a new high rec
ord. despite the fact that many wells
are being held in check. Output is
averaging about 1,6SO.0O0 barrels a
day. against about l.350,OoO at TINS
period last year. This production,
says the New York Times, far ex-
ceeds current consumption. but the
opinion is expressed in the trade thai
the oil now going into storage VIII
be for the benefit of consumers. espe-
cially in view of the fact that the
demands being made upon the IN
dustry are constantly increasing.
Statements in the trade declare that
IL all the oil wells of the country
were permitted to flow. or pumped
to capacity. the combined daily out
put would exceed 1,750.000 barrels.
The insufficiency of markets, pipe
line anu storage facilities in various
sections of the country, however. has
caused these wells to be shut in to
the extent of about 100000 barrels
daily. Production has been growing
at a fast rate ever since the f1rst or
the year
This has been due to the opening
of several new fields. and output IS
now about 233 900 barrels d day above
the total produced during January.
judging from the figures already in
hand. it is estimated that production
for this country in 1922 will exceed
$50. 100000 barrels. a new high rec
ord. and an amount equal to IL per
cent more than the output for 1921.

slant outward. Then the menu:
Peanuts. some pieces of suet. hard
crusts of bread. cranberries and pop

tree in a manner that will attract the
birds. Beneath the tree place a few
cracked nuts. leaving the kernals in
the hulls. Also a few ears of corn
on the ear together with a small pan

In short time, Mrs. Hatchell adds.
one can watch a most interesting

SAYS TINY GERM CELL
PREDETERMINES GENIUS
University Psychologist Declares
Average Intelligence of Pop
ulation Is Decreasing.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Calf,
December 25.-Any one with a rela-
tive in the genius class has 500 more
times as many chances to be genius
himself as one of ordinary forebears.
according to observations by Prof.
ford University psychology depart
ment and compiler of Intelligence
tests used during the war.
Every human life originates from
a single fertilized germ CELL" Prof.
Terman said. This tiny cell. invisi-
BILE to the naked eye, contains those
elements which determine what man
ner of man or woman that cell will
become ultimately. These elements
are known to science as genes
The combination of genes" which
are contained within the walls of the
cell determine whether one is to be
blue-eyed or brown-eyed. tall or short,
round d-headed or long-headed, feeble
minded. normal or intellectually bril-
liant, declares Prof. Terman.
If the seed of unusual success is
not in the original germ cell, there
is no chance for the developed man
or woman to become unusual" in
tellectually speaking, according to
Prof. Terman.
Prof. Terman thinks that the av-
erage intelligence of the population
Is decreasing and that the number of
geniuses in the future is destined to
be comparatively few. He accounts
for this fact by quoting statistics
showing the intellectually superior
to be slower in reproduction even
than the socially incompetent.
