In the March issue of Field and the Oakland (Cai) museum, tells the story of his African expedition that made the motion picture production, Hunting Big Game in Africa With Gun and Camera" This is the first hunting picture to show for more than 100 nights on Broadway, play ing daily to more than 5000 persons. One of the many interesting things that Snow describes is the elephant hunt. Let him tell the story:
 "We were at breakfast when a na- tive scout came running with the news that the pachyderms had been sighted on our side of the valley. Yankee ham and eggs forgotten, we grabbed our Winchesters and tripod cameras and clambered down the steep slopes. Soon we could see evil dence of our adversaries; cliff and tree boles worn smooth by ages of their rubbing; small trees and brush knocked over: fresh tracks, minutes old. As we neared the Crater's bot tom we caught sight of an unsus- pected herd of the majestic giants out in the open, then more coming up, and 1t began to feel rather warm. The jungle all about resounded with the loud rumbling of their stomachs Even the most veteran hunter of ivory must stop short at the terrify- ing sound.
 O O o
 Large and Vicious.
 ITO us who had never seen a wild elephant. the fiyst vision of the great beasts was one of awe. We knew the species to be vicious killers and absolutely untamable, but had not realized their vast proportions about one-third larger than the h. dian species): immensity of ear, in- credible length of gleaming tusk, cruel face and giant proboscis, colum- mar legs and forge hammer feet. The herds as yet had not scented our presence. Then--from amongst ,the high busli---we could discern, some

CITY LEAGUES 1923 LOOP OPENS APRIL 21|

City league moguls took definite steps toward final organization of their 1923 loop Tuesday night when the second meeting of the year was staged at the city hall. The 1923 schedule was adopted, to be an nounced later, and the next step to be taken will be the complete organi- Hation of teams by the various man. agers:
 The 1923 schheduie calls for 20 games for each team, or four with each other team in its particular di- vision. The division this year will be composed of six teams each, and 1t is probable that three divisions will compose the complete loop again.
 The schedule, as adopted Tuesday night. calls for opening games, to be played on April 21,> with September ] listed as the closing date for the 1923 league season.

'NOOGA MATERIAL
 IS PROMISING, BUT LACKSEXPERIENCE

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, March 27.- President Strang Nicklin, of Lhe Lookouts, has suffered from the lack of competent weather prophet. Had somebody been able to whisper to the Lookout chieftain just what sort of weather the rain god was going to dish out, he might have been able to save an entire weeks expense money for squad of nearly 30 ath- letes by having them stay at home. Reporting day, Monday a week ago, found the mercury flirting with zero. The weather moderated in time to permit single practice Tuesday aft- ernoon, but since that time the dose has been nothing but rain and the men have hardly had on their uni forms.
 Two of the teams holdouts have come to terms, Cy Anderson recon sidering his request for more. and Pitcher Ballou showing up unexpect- cdly. Practically every player for up now with the exception of Pitch CTS Guess, formerly of Nashville, and Pitcher Fairbanks. who was loaned to Nashville last year and hurdled. Young Kress, whose <sale to Ports mouth was quashed, unexpectedly showed up. Whether he makes a bid for a job or is sold elsewhere, he is welcome citizen for the coming weeks practice. as Nunamaker and Morrow are the only other catchers in camp. Weeks, the Brookhaver star, and Johnson, Bridgeport, Ala, semi-pro, have not reported.
 Prospects Bright.
 Beyond the original claim that the Lookouts have the best prospects for four seasons, with lot of fair hit ters. though no sluggers; good in fielding; fair outbielding; cracking good catching and plenty of reliable pitchers. the first weeks experience of hanging around the stove and swearing at the weather has brought few new ideas. 1t was seen from the first that there would be pitching scramble with 12 boxmen in camp and nearly everyone showing prom ise. on his record, of being winner. The southpaw, young Roe, from the Cotton States. and Pickett, Penn syltania semi-pro star, are being watched especially close.
 new element of interest has been added to the outfield, where the first hunch was that the holdover trio of John Anderson, Clayton and Haugher young Schulte, who batted 1908 year before last with Madisonville in the Bluegrass, was picked up by Nicklin and sent back to the same town for another year in 1922, hit .325 last year. And. as for that matter, Cy Anderson insists that his young pro tege, Pounds, from north Georgia, will make the grade, and Daniels. the Texas collegian. has college record sufficient to stagger anybody.
 In the infield. the arrival of How ard Burkett, ex-Baron. has compli- cated matters somewhat Third Base- man Hindt, who comes touted as a wonder. has been out only one sea- son with Kitchener in the Michigan Ontario league. but he has been touted to be regular from the jump nevertheless. Anderson and Bates are considered practical cer- tainties, their experience stamping them from the go. The scramble will be for this job at third base and for Charley Leonard's assignment at second. Sorrells, Three l leaguer. who comes through Cleveland, is well recommended. and has had ample ex- perience. Green and Reynolds are both very young in the game.

In game featured by the great field goal shooting of Curdy Byrd. the simpson Purple Tornado swept over the Sneads Seminary five in q hard-fought game at the B. A.

Byrd csged II field goals during the game while Chadwick got eight. Byrd played one of the greatest games of his career against the Boaz five.
 The two teams will meet We'd nesday night at o'clock in the R.. A. C. gymnasium in a second game. The games arc part of Coach George Reynolds training menu for his state champion Tornado which will compete in the national tournament on April to I. The game was one of the prettiest of the year and both teams showed improvement over their play during the season.
 Sneads offered some unlocked for opposition in the game Tuesday night. The team has been practieing when possible since the close of the game was fast throughout and fea- tured by obstinate fighting on the part of the visiting team.
 Ferguson played good game for Simpson at guard while Vincent, al though not a high scorer in the game, played a big game for the locals He followed the ball in an impressive manner throughout the entire game and his great dribblng contributed materially to the Simp- son victory. He scored three field goals.

 cyril Tolley. the giant British anna teur golfer, stood chatting with mo under one of the great elms that shade the lawns about the clubhouse at. the Brookline Country club dur ing the national amateur champion ship last fall. As we talked, Tolley, l observed, watched with the keenest interest a young player who was making some practice swings some 75 wards away. The crowd of amateurs had come on and play was under way for the first qualifying round.
 Look at the ryhthm of that swing" Tolley exclaimed, with his eye still centered on the player in the distance. "Who Is he?" he asked. That is as fine a swing as I ever beheld. Is he Knepper?
 The knickerbocker silhouette in the offing might have been Knepper from the unmistakable ease and grace of his swings with the different clubs, but it was not. The strokes which Tolley observed, however, were made by the one youth in Amer ica who comes nearest to the remark able Knepper style. of play-Eddye Held, of St. Louis, national public links champion.
