MIKE EBERHARD IS SOLD BEAUMONT
 CLUB BY BARONS

Mike Eberhard, brainy little right handed pitcher who has twirled good ball for the Barons for two seasons, has been sold out of the Southern league, and will report to Beaumont, of the Texas league, for 1923 spring training.
 Announcement of Eberhards sale to Beaumont by the Barons was made by Billy West, secretary of the Birmingham Baseball associa- tion, Wednesday night. According to Vests announcement, the sale was outright, with no players or trades being involved. The consid- eration for which Eberhard was sold was not given out by Baronial offi- cials.
 Eberhard, who was considered one of the headiest twirlers in the league during his two years stay with the Barons. is being counted on by his new bosses to come through with a winning brand of ball. according to Billy West.
 Secured From Pirates
 The Barons secured Mike Eberhard from Pittsburg early in the season of 1921. Mike broke in' with the Barons by winning eight straight games, before finally dropping one. He was one of the leading twirlers to serve under Molesworth during the campaign of 1921.
 Eberhard started off the 1922 sea- son well, but contracted an injury to his pitching arm that kept him out of the lineup some time. Then 1t was spiked heel that gummed up the works. acl it seemed that Ebby couldn't shake the jinx that pursued him. At times he showed flashes of his 1921 form, but when Joe Dunn took charge of the Barons after Molesworth's resignation, Eberhard was used a bit. then finished the sea- son scouting for the Barons.
 It was thought at first that Eber- hard would start 1923 as a regular with the Barons, but when Joe Dunn and company had the chance to sell Mike to Beaumont, the deal was closed, as they figured cnange might be the best thing possible for Eberhard
 Mike Eberhard probably has made as many friends in Birmingham as any ball player to perform for the Barons in a long, long time. Always a gentleman on and off the field. libby won the good will of his mates and of the fans, and his change to Beaumont will probably be greeted with well wishes for his success in the Texas league.
 Eberhard has been passing the winter at his home at Pryor. Okla hOma

ever have managed.
 him strong. In another minute we were greeted with shower of old vegetables = potatoes, onions, toma- toes and even cantaloupes.
 McGinnity, always a quiet sort of fellow, arose in his carriage to try and quiet things down. He was just about to tell the other players to keep quiet when he lurehed forward. As If in concert four big tomatoes hit him squarely in the seat of his pants. That was one of the most Imaginable sights I have ever seen The stain stayed there until we got back off the trip.
 Sammy Strang, in another carriage. was hit on the side of the head with an overripe cantaloupe. When we finally escaped and reached the hotel anyone to look at our carriage would have thought that We had been haul ihg garbage. That sort of thing happened frequently.
 Instead of curing us, though, . it made the players more eager to fight and to win. They loved to lick the Pirates-our main rivals - and then drive by the market.
 Called for Merchants
 A favorite source of amusement for the ball players, going to and from the park. was to read the signs in front of a store or an office. Having observed the name. they would begin yelling for that particular man. Often he would come out and bow.
 In one of the minor league cities, visited in the spring, we were driv- ing from the grounds in a big omni bus. We passed a residence and mo- ticed a sign on the window: "Dr. McNutt."
 Hello, Doc, how are you?" the players began to yell. Where's the old Doc?' they asked of an old woman who was watering the lawn with hose.
 In moment the doctor. feeling himself a little bit honored, came to the door.
 Say, Doc" some fresh young fel- low called out. where do you bury your patients?"
 With that the old woman on the lawn, thoroughly indignant. turned and leveled the hose on the bus and let us have the full stream It was some stream, too. We scrambled to the floor, ordering the man to drive fast Before we could get out of range, though, all of us had a good soaking. l know I got one shot from the hose squarely in the chest. Me- Ginnity, sitting opposite me, had tucked just in time to let me have it..
 That whole club had the spirit Of sky-larking college boys and I was just as bad as any of them. On the field, though. they thought like men of affairs. Always they were on hair edge ready to get into row 1T anybody pulled the trigger
 The more I think of it the more l realize what a picturesque ball club that was. To protest games and make numerous affidavits was common thing. At times we even figured in injunction cases in the courts. l guess fans of this day still remem- Der the Hey. Barney" incident which wound up in trial at Boston. I will have to tell about that in a later chapter.

1 MAJOR COLLEGES
 OF DIXIE ENTERED
 IN s. I. (. EVENT
Auburn Is Unable to Compete in Track Meet at
 Montgomery

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Feb. 7.-Al- though more than two months away. the eyes of the college youths all over the south are already turned to- ward the field day meet that will be held in Cramton Bowl here on May II by the Southern Intercollegiate conference, in which more than 200 of Dixies field representatives are expected to compete.
 The meet Is expected to find sev- eral southern intercollegiate records smashed, and Montg is plan ming to pack the finest stadium of the south to see the field contests.
 Twenty-nine colleges are to com pete in the meet, Auburn unfortun- ately being one of the few that will be unable to send a team because of examinations conflicting with the date.
 Sewanee, Alabama, Mississippi A. &, M, Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt were probably the outstanding in- stitutions last season in the southern track realm, and all of these squads are expected to come here strong this spring. although she Maroons of Mississippi A. 6 M. lost several of their luminaries last spring through graduation. The AggieS are said, however, to have built we'll as the years went by in reserve material, and will be able to well uphold their traditions this spring.
 Last year. in the souths premier meet of its kind, held at Munger Bowl, Birmingham Southern college, by the Birmingham Athletic club, the Mississippians carried off first honors, with practically every field team in the south contesting every inch of the way.
 Georgia Tech also showed class last spring in the Birmingham meet, and with another year to have devel- oped, the Golden Tornado should be one of the leading contenders, while Vanderbilt should also stack up we'll with much of last years material back to build around.

ALABAMA CASHESI
 IN 18TH VICTORY OF CAGE SEASON.
"0Ie Miss" Falls Before Crim- sons By Score of
 32 to 22

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Feb. 7.-(Spe- cial.)-'Bama's great crimson quintet chalked up it's fifteenth straight win for the season tonight by defeating the University of Mississippi outfit, 33 to 22. "Ole Miss" fought from start to finish and the game was not in the least walk-away for Ala bama.
 During the first half, the score see-sawed back and forth, finally ending q to 16 in Alabama's favor. In the second half, the Criinsons had more luck, and ran the score up to it's final figures, 33 to 22.
 Carter played great basketball for Alabama before being forced to re- tire on account of an injury. Shorty Propst went over to center from for ward, while McCartee took his place at forward.
 Captain McGauley looped through six pretty field goals. while Propst scored four. Carter'ss total was 13 points before being forced from the game. McClintock and Hudson played close defensive games.
 Flowers and Swartz played well for Mississippi.
 It was Alabama's fifteenth straight victory without a defeat for the sea- son, and the Crimsons are now con- sidered among the strongest of the contenders for the Dixie title. Fri day night Alabama's star quintet plays Georgia Tech at Atlanta, and upon the outcome of the game will depend in a large measure the final ranking of the Dixie quints.
 Tonight's game was played before a capacity crowd of over 1900 peo- pie. Line-ups:
 Alabama (S3)-Propst (s), for ward; McGauley CPD, forward; Car ter G3), center: McClintock, guard; Hudson, guard.
 Mississippi (22)-Flowers (4), for ward; Swartz CPD, forward; Jack son (6), center; Scruggs, guard Montgomery, guard.
 Substitutions - Alabama, McCartee for Propst and Propst for Carter.
