JOE SEWELL PUTS CRIMSON THROUGH EARLY PRACTICE
Veteran Pastimers Report For Baseball Work at Alabama

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Feb. 30.-(Spe- cial.) l.)-Baseball practice has once more taken sway at the old Gap stone, and the craeke of hickory against horse-hide can pc heard in the afternoons in the direction of Denny Field. Joe Sewell. shortstop for the Cleveland Indians, and once second -sacker and captain of the Alabama nine, is in charge of the preliminary training, and will re- 1ieve Coach Bernier, who is at pre- sent tied up with basketball, until he is called by Manager Speaker. Only the letter men and those who showed ability last year were called for the preliminary work. These men were issued uniforms and have started to work in earnest. The prospects for this year are very pleasing with an abundance of letter men from last year and many new men who have shown their stuff out. An inventory of the men out:
 Catchers: Hubert and Cruise.
 Pitchers: MeMillan, Cub Cunning ham, Steed, McRae and A. R. Cum ninghan.
 Outfielders: Elmore, Oliver, Rosen- field, Almon, Barnes.
 Infielders Captain Pitts, Green, Davis. Gillis, Clemens.

job and use Stevie merely as an extra infielder, but he has a strong hunch that Stephenson will deliver.
 Stevie Plays Third sta.
 Stephenson has been playing third base on the trip of the American team to Japan, China and the Philip pines and has shown great improve ment in his playing, according 10 re- ports that have sifted back from the Orient. That is encouraging, but has not caused Speaker to regard him as a regular third baseman. Lutzke has that job cinched, for the Kansas City man played such great ''all in in the American association last sea son. Speaker declines to regard any one else for the place filled by Larry Gardner for several seasons.
 It is doubtful, in fact, if stephen son will be regarded even as the understudy of Lutzke. Should the latter be ineapacitated, it is expect ed that Larry Gardner, who will be with the Indians as coach and utility infielder, will get first choice to fill in at third. while Lutzke happens to be out because of an injury .sF
 Gardner should be in splendid con Speaker in Lakeland, as the result of having been engaged in coaching the University of Vermont baseball team in the indoor cage for several weeks. At that, Larry never has needed much of workout to get in shape in the spring.

JUNIOR PAINTERS
 HAVE } GAMES.

The Junior Partners, after resting over the week end, will get into ac- ton again Monday. meeting Jones Valley at the B. A. c. Wednesday night the Tornado meets Bessemer High and Friday night they meet the Alabama Freshmen at Tusca- loosa. and probably Tuscaloosa High Saturday night.
 The Tornado came in last Thurs day after a hard road trip and Coach George Reynolds has let the team rest up since it's return home. The Junior Partners have won two games from Jones Valley this season and the game Monday night should not be very hard one for them.
 In Bessomer High they will meet a.>Tood team. Little is known of the Bessemer players, but rumor has it that they have a fast machine. They have not played any of the city high schools this season.
 The big game of the week will be in Tuscaloosa. The Junior Pan- thers beat the Alabama Rats here a couple of weeks ago. The Fresh men have beaten Tuscaloosa High since then, and are running in good form now. The game was played soon after the Freshmen team started their practice and they had not been working together long enough to get the best results.
 The Tuscaloosa High game has not been definitely settled, but Coach Reynolds says that 1t may possi- ble that he will keep his team over in Tuscaloosa until Saturday night to play the Tuscaloosa boys.

FOUR HARD GAMES ON 'BAMA'S CAGE MENU THIS WEEK

UNIVERSITY. Ala. Feb. 3.-(Spe- cial.--Alabama' undefeated quintet will face one of the hardest weeks of the season when they meet Mis- sissippi College Monday and Tuesday night. Recently this aggregation de- feated the strong A. and M. quintet and will furnish plenty of opposition for the Crimsons. Wednesday the University of Mississippi will oppose the Crimsons, aud word from Missis- sippi is that they have strong five this year.
 climax, the Crimsons will journey to Atlanta to battle with the strong Georgia Tech five. Tech has the best quintet in her history of basketball, and the strong Mercer outfit is re- cent victim ef this group of>cage stars. With seven letter men back, Tech has the fastest five in the south. and hasn't lost a game this year in Atlanta. Although the Crimsons nosed the A. A. c. five out in very close and fiercely fought battle. they are not the least overconfident, and realize the size of the task before them in beating Tech in Atlanta.
 Lost Last Season.
 Last season, after smothering the Jackets on the home court, 49 to 20. the Crimson five was outfought and outplayed by the same team in Att lanta and lost a S5 to 26 count. This battle should be the largest drawing it is most probable that a number of Alabama students will make the trip to see the game.
 This last week, the Crimson whiri- wind added two more victories to its string, running their total up to 12 games played and 12 won. This is remarkable record when it is taken into account that of these 12 games were played on the road, and include teams such as Centre. Kentucky State and Atlanta Athletic club, while she beat the strong B. A. c. club on the home court after a six-day road trip by the narrow margin of 3 points.
 Alabama has II more games on her schedule before the tournament. and it is probably the hardest end of the schedule. Of these II, four are played on foreign courts, and the re- mainder at the University.
