 Despite his optimistic view, how ever, it is understood his condition is such he may be required to re- main away from crucial games on account of the strain on his heart.
 T always wanted to, get back in baseball, but I didn't expect to get back so soon.' smiled Matty, when asked about his aspirations and in tentions as magnate.
 My doctor feels that the work I intend to do will be of great benefit to my health, so long as I do not get run down."

BULLDOG G-PANTHER SCRAP CARRIED ON
 BY COED QUINTS.
Pantherettes Meet East Lake Rivals in Cage Game
 Thursday
PROBABLE LINEUP

Birmingham Southern-Mary Brin- skelle, f.; Julia Manar, f.. Anna La page Neese, C.; Elizabeth Green, g.; Lucille Williams, g.
 Howard-Ethel Clarke, f.; Thelma Stacey, f.; Lucille Borough, C.; Lo- rene Dyer, g.; Ruby Little, g.
 Everything is set for the Pan- therette-Bu -Bulldogette basketball tilt to come off at the Central Y. M. c. A. Thursday night. The game will start at s o'clock.
 The two teams have been working hard for the game and will be in good condition. The Howard girls so far have not been able to turn in victory. They have fallen before the attacks of Auburn, Central Col lege and Alabama, but have been doing overtime work in order to give the Pantherettes their best.
 The Birmingham Southern girls have twice turned back Chattanooga, but fell twice before Auburn. They have won all of their practice games from the county high school teams.
 Both teams possess two or three stars, however, and the margin in the score should not be wide at the end of 40 minutes of play. Thelma Stacey and Ethel Clarke are two Of Towards crack shots. while Lucille Dorrough. is good on running the floor and passing.
 Mary Brinskelle, Elizabeth Green and Anna Neese are probably the outstanding players for the Panther cites. All three are pretty sure on their shots and play the floor well.
 Frances McNeill. Willie Mae Hardy and Evelyn Graves will be held in reserve by Coach Yarbrough of How ard to send in to relieve the starters. Coach Ben Englebert will send in Marjorie Ormond or Katherine Will kings in case of emergency.
 The game Thursday night will be the first of series of three to be played by the two schools. The sec ond game will be staged Saturday night at the Y. M. c. A. and the third, If third one is necessary, will be played next week.

 pitcher. Joss was very tall and had such an easy motion that he could
 keep the ball on top of the batter all the time without the latter realizing that he was being fooled. Against Joss the ordinary batter was always
 cn the defensive instead of the of- fensive. He knew the weaknesses of his opponents and played them as a
 cat would a mouse. Addie Joss was i indeed a great pitcher. He was one of the best loved men in the game. Sadly enough, he died while still quite young.
 A southpaw Freak
 Rube Waddell was, perhaps. the
 most picturesque of all pitchers, as have pointed out by incidents in previous chapters. He was nothing
 more nor less than a southpaw freak. Nobody ever knew exactly the men tai process that enabled Waddell to think so clearly and quickly on the field and then do such nonsensical and freakish things off the field There was never another like him. i am inclined to believe there never
 will be. The nearest to him in men, l tai characteristics was Bugs Ray mond, though they were in no way alike in pitching.
 | Waddell had such tremendous speed
 and such puzzling deliveries, coming l always as a surprise, that he was practically unbeatable. When in good physical condition Waddell always had the game in the palm of his
 hand. Incidentally that was a most remarkable hand. Rube's left hand
 was so large that he could com pletely hide a billiard ball in it. He was one of the few men who could
 make their fingers meet around 8 | baseball. That gave him his tre- mendous speed. A baseball to him was like a billiard or pool ball to the average pitcher. By being able
 to completely encircle the ball with
 his fingers Waddell could put any kind of a twist on it that he desired In a previous chapter I have men, toned Waddell's eccentricities. One that will always live in the memories of fans was his trick of calling in all
 the outfield and infield, with the ex- ception of the first baseman. Then
 he would wind up the side by strik- ing out the batters or making them
 bounce the ball to him. He did that in several exhibition games, very
 much to the delight of the fans and
 to the satisfaction of his own sense of humor.
 While Waddell was eccentric-did
 many crazy things-dont get the
 impression that he didn't know what he was doing when in the pitcher s box. No All-American team would be complete without Rube.
 This completes my selections for the one great team of all time. In
 tho succeeding chapters I will present
 my selections of the Ali-American league and All-National league teams | Copyright, 1928, United States ant Canada, by Christy Walsh Syndi' cate for North American News aper Alliance and The Birmingham | -Herald.)
