Nehf Only Hope.
McGraw's choice for the pitching

 Under direction of Lieut.. Col C.. O. Sherrill, in charge Cf govern ment public buildings and grounds. a lot of work has been done on the local course this winter. About 300 players are expected to register with the United States Golf association for the play. sDl
 Local fans look to a half-dozen players to keep the pennant in Wash ington. This half-dozen is from five to eight strokes ahead of the field here. Charles Agnew, who won the local championship last year and rep resented the course at the Toledo tourney, has been getting in two and three days week at the local course, but play on the greens has been un- der the ban.

Miss Glenna ColIett Arthur Staff Sets Two Stars at Palm Beach New Records on Ice

PALM BEACH, Fla, Feb. 1S.-High winds and cold weather interfered with play today in the interstate four-ball mixed and professional golf match at the Palm Beach Golf club links, in which the most ex- pert women golfers of Palm Beach, headed by Miss Glenna Collett, woman's national champion, partici- pated.
 Miss Collects wonderful drives, most of which were over 200 yards, and her phenomenal putting held her gallery spellbound, while Fred Clarkson of the Palm Beach club also made several long drives
 Miss Marian Hays and Miss Collett did particularly brilliant work at the fourth hole, Miss Hays drive from the tee to the green being the best shot of the day. Miss Collett made a spectacular mashie shot, landing her ball on the green. Miss Colletts accuracy in the face of high winds was remarkable, and Clark sons spectacular brassie shot on the thirteenth hole out of the rough, aided by the wind, and onto the green, was acclaimed by the gallery
 An exceptionally large gallery fol- lowed Miss Collett's match, and Mrs. L. Q. Smith and Gordon Smith, who won the event, had many followers Mrs. White had 46 out and A in and Smith had 3S out and 45 in, the total being 173, making a low score with victory by and 2.

ONE AMERICAN MINER WORTH THREE BRITISH

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1~.-(By As sociated Press. )-One coal miner in this country produces as much in day as three miners in Great Britaln's coal industry according to statistics compiled by W. W. Adams, of the Urited States Bureau of Mines
 Ono American miners speed in proAuction, however, Is shown by the report to be offset by the loss of almost twice as many lives and by three times the number of accidents United States bureau of mines.
 England employs about a mfNNon men each year in coal productfo on. about one-third more than the nun Der employed in this country, willie the English output, MT. Adams shows, is only about 300,000,00O tons, less than half the production in the United States The British accident rate in coal mining varies from loo, to l.30 for every 1000 men employed; while in this country the rate ranSes' from 3.90 to AGO. Fatalities in Great Britain in the industry number from HOO to 1900 a year, as compared to 2,OOO to 2,500 in this country.
 The slower speed at which British coal miners work, and the fact that most of them are more experienced, having been "bred to the occupation through several generations" are ex- plained by MT.

UNIVERSITY GIRLS PLAY THE CAPITAL OUTFIT THURSDAY

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Feb. 18-(Spe- cial.,-The Alabama sextet of goal tossers is anxiously awaiting the coming game with the Woman's col- lege on the home court. Thursday. February 22. Last year the Wonan's s team was tho only team to adminis- ter defeat to the Capstone team, and mined to have their revenge this season.
 The Alabama record this year stands at one defeat, / when they were downed by the strong Peabody team, by a twopoint margin. Cen tral college and Howard have been among the victims of the Crimson team, and should 'Bama be able 10 carry off the honors in the coming tilt she will have good claim on the state title. as the woman's college has won and lost to the Montevallo girls.
 Strebile and Nichols at forward have shown great team play in the past few games, and have proven 10 be dangerous scoring combi- nation. Hamit and Robertson have been playing great game ct the guard positions. The centers still remain in doubt, Halle Wrig"t will most probably hold her position at center, but Gladys Greer. who w9 , injured in the early part of the Pea body game, has only recently re- turned to practice. and it Is doubt ful whether she will be able to take part in the coming game. However, there is Virginia Donovan, diminu- tive in size, but with worlds of speed and fighting spirit to be placed at side-center. should 1t be neces- sary.
 The Doman's college team Is com- posed of veterans, having played to- gether for the past three years. and their experience will stand them to good advantage and make them to fayorite in the coming tilt. Ala baraa. on the other hand. has four players who are serving in their first year on the varsity six. and lack the confidence that comes with experience, but their fighting ability and the, fact that they are playing on the home court, will make them a tough foe for the last year ham, pions.

AUBURN DIAMOND CANDIDATES MAY NUMBER OVER 75
Donahue Doesn't Like Outlook For His Pitching
 Staff

AUBURN, Ala, Feb. 1S.-The Vil- lage of the Plains Is likely to see rush of baseball candidates toward the diamond sometime during the next few days if sunshine continues to spread over the campus and the wintry blasts quiet down, for Coach Donohue is said to be gathering slants on his material now.
 Seventy five or more men are ex- pected to grab sgloves and report when the call comes to duty, among the number will be eight letter men of last year.
 Coach Donohue is said to be elat- ed over the prospects in fielding way and hitting way but when he thinks about his pitching staff, he is said to grimace a few grimaces and turn away, for be 1t known that his ace of former years is gone and someone to fill Grants place must be found.
 slick" Moulton may be turned to in this hour of need to do double duty along with Sheridan, a young ster. who showed his stuff last ye r as a freshman In pitching.
 Moulton twirled winning ball lsst year in the South Alabama circuit and is the dependence of .ho staff this spring in the Tiger camp. Catching Problem Easy.
 The catching problem Is as well as settled, barring accident, for "Gibby" Gibson, one of the stars of southern college backstops Is again back in the fold while Davis. rat" star of last year is being turned to as second stringer.
 At first base, Knowles, hitter de luxe, Is counted on. Knowles played first-class ball last summer and hi5 long range hitting proved the decid- ing factor in many of the games
 The keystone will be matter of some little trouble unless some ur- expected one bobs up to outshins several men who are candidates. for the position Is open without let ter man ready to step in and fill the Job. Allen, outfielder, with Selma hold down an infie1d berth and may be used, while Argo, formerly of the Talladega club, Is said to be a hard hitting infie1der and will be given a chance.
 Griffin nt Shortstop.
 At shortstop, Griffin will be fix ture. having played this position well last year and his timely hitting proved tower of strength, while Arnall, another letter man, Is looked on to fill third base again. =
 Joe Harrison, Montgomerian, is an- other man who Is being touted as an infielder of considerable merit, all though his natural place Is the out field. Harrison may get call to the inner works, 1t Is said.
 In the outfield. Ed Shilling and Creel are the letter men back and both of them are considered as fix lures already, while finding a run ming mate for them Is not considered big problem with an abundance of outfield material. Both of the letter men in the outer gardens are heavy sluggers. Shilling having had an offer to try out with the Philadelphia Athletics this spring.
