PANTHER NINE IS| ROUNDING OUT AS| THE SEASON NEARS|
0Wenton Squad to Play Prac. tice Game at Munger
 Bowl Saturday

The Birmingham-South college baseball squad has completed a week and half of practice, and the men who will probably play the infield and outfield are working daily in their respective positions. At second base, the weakest spot in the infield, Verman kimbrough. seems to have won out over Ed Howell. second team man of last year, and is playing the positions in creditable fashion. Kim brough handles himself like a ball player and is a good hitter. Although his fielding is a little cratic. he may overcome that in the course of prac- games, and make the Partners a val uable keystoner.
 Skeeblie Caldwell has cinched first base, June Anderson has shortstop with no opposition, and Ben EngIe- bert has won out on third.
 The infield is working in an 1m- pressive manner for so early in the year. and looks considerably better than 1t did at this time last year.
 Mike Norton, Aubrey Miller and Greek" Griffin will probably play the outfield. Flash" Mitchell has been showing good stuff in the out field and with the stick, but he has three veteran ball players to contend with for outfieid positions. Unless Coach Brown decides to shift Griffin back behind the plate, the position he has played for the last three years on the Panther nine, Flash" will probably have to work as understudy.
 Coach Brown more than likely will not put Griffin behind the plate this year, as he has Sid Godbee, all-state high school catcher last year. to do the receiving, and Sid has been show ing good stuff this year. He is a flash on the bases and has a good arm.
 The pitching staff is still uncertain. The only two men that are certain to make it is "Babe" Graham of last years staff, and Joe Wheeler, who pitched for the Partners in 1921. Dad" Howell. Dixie Brown, Russell Johnston. Laney and Ray Hodge are all out for the staff, but which of them will get a berth is hard to say.
 The Partners will probably play a practice game Saturday afternoon on Munger bowl.

TRIALS OF GOLF CLUBS
By CHICK EVANS ,


 Automobile driving and new golf club construction work are now free rom many of the costly annoyances that used to be so harrassing, but there are some things which those planning new golf courses this spring might do well to have some knowledge of. l can best bring this out by citing the experience of club near Chicago which barely escaped With its life some years ago.
 This experience brings out in a re- markable way the near-sighted poli- cies which sometimes actuate vil- lage or community near which a golf course is located.
 The club of which I speak was To- cated about mile from a little ham, let which was visible for some 15 seconds to 9 man in an automobile golng 10 miles an hour. The village board planned an assessment and these men caused surveys to be made for the opening of new street. This was to have sewers and water lines. The cost of this mod est improvement was reckoned at arranged that the bulk of this charge fell upon the golf club.
 The opening of the street was so arranged that it cut off 33 feet on the east side of the golf course. It would have entirely destroyed the privacy of the club. It spoiled the clubs best hole and compelled complete encouragement of bunkers and hazards, at great cost. Not only was it planned to install sewers and water in this particular new street, but like improvements were called for along the entire north side of the course, where only a few farmers were available to use such sewers and water mains.
 Protest Unanimous.
 Every farmer in the vicinity promptly joined with the golf club and Sled protests. Finally the vil- lage board agreed to withdraw the assessment for the improvements projected for the north side of the club, but they let stand the assess ment for opening the other street. which was the thing most objection able to the club members.
 Nothing ever becomes widely pop ular without attracting the envious eye of those who seek in some way either to exploit it for personal gain or to sQuelch it because they do not personally take part in it. It is. of course, absurd to exploit outsiders who come into a neighborhood with & new golf course because as a mat ter of fact golf is a great advantage to any neighborhood. Real estate values always rise. new homes go up and the village concerned thriyas in many other ways.
 There are boards" however, which prefer not to see these facts as truth, and they usually lead to the courts for the golf club not other wise protected in advance on its rights and standing.

CRIMSONS' FIRST
 BATTLE WILL BE WITH ROCHESTER

UNIVERSITY. Ala. March It, Special. 1.-The opening date of the present baseball season |, has been moved up, and Saturday the Crimson nine will encounter the Rochester club of the American association in Selma. Coach Bernier had been dickering for game with Rochester for the past few days, and officially announced Tuesday that the game had been closed. This announcement has added pep into the squad and the men are hard at work to be among the 16 that Bernier will take on the trip.
 &The Rochester club is managed by George Stallings, who is considered the Miracle Man" in baseball, for his feat of bringing the Boston Braves from the cellar in July of 1914 to pennant in the same year. Not only this, but his team came through and beat Connie Mack's tribe four straight in the worlds series. His battery of Tyler, Rudolph and James were the talk of sportdom at the time and were vital factors in the successful drive.
 Line-Up Ascertain.
 Just what lineup Bernier will start against Rochester is uncertain, but had narrowed down, until only first, third and catching are doubt full. At first he will use either Propst or Rosenfeld, Captain Pitts at second. Gillis at short and Green or Clemens at third. The outfield will most probably be Oliver. Elmore and Barnes, while either Hubert or Cruise will take care of the backstopping
 Three pitchers will make the jour- ney, but just who will be the choice to start the game Is unknown. Mo Milan, Cunningham and Steed, al three of whom are in first-clasS con. dition, will furnish the delivery. and any one of them should be able te give a good account of himself: Any combination of the above play CTS that Coach Bernier should set fit to start will make a first-clas. nine, and will most probably hold

The Wares had asked Sylvia to
dine with them on Friday evening
a fortnight later, and Harwood was
to call for her at the minister's at
o'clock. Sylvia went directly to
the Wares from school, and on reach

had not come home and that the
minister was engaged with a caller in
the parlor. Sylvia, who knew the
ways of the house well, left her
