 Branch Hickey, who will probably have the distinction of giving St Louis its first National league pen nant, is one of the few men in major league baseball who has held vir- tually every position with baseball organization from player to club president and part owner.
 Hickey was home on December 20 1881. in Lucasville, O. He attended common school until he was IT years of age and then taught country school for two years. He attended Ohio Wesleyan university from 1900 to 1904 and during the following year taught in the same school. From 1906 to 1908 he added the duties of coach to those of teacher The three fol lowing years he attended the UniVer- sity of Michigan. He holds degrees of Bachelor of Arts. Bachelor of Lit erature and Doctor of Jurisprudence.
 Hickey was member Of the OhIoo Wesleyan baseball baske etball and football teams while attending school there and for five years he coached the University of Michigan baseball teams.
 A Pro Ball Player.
 In 1905 he brancshed out as pro- fessional baseball player and his good work with the Dallas (TeXas league) club that year resulted in his pur- chase by the St. Louis Browns of the American league. He was traded to the New York Yankees and played with that team in 1906 and 1907 when his arm went bad and he turned to coaching.
 Later he returned to the St. Louis Browns, serving at different times as secretary, business manager, man ager and vice president. In 1917 Hickey went with the St. Louis Car dinals of the National league, play ing two years as president and then casting aside that position to devote his time to managing the club. Dur ing the war Hickey served ftur months overseas as major in the chemical warfare service of the United States army.
 Billy West, secretary of the Blr- mingham association, states that the park has been turned over to the ma for leaguers, an dthat the pass lis, hoe been suspended for the day.

We are now in the no-decision business with you. The Kiddo will not give the old man another crack. Look elsewhere, gentlemen" Johnston would say everytilne we put the sub Ject up to him.
 It did no good to point out that l had given Lewis four decision lights when l held the title. Nothing could move Johnston from his stand. He could get no other good cards, to give up three no-decision bouts. In each one Lewis might just as well have come in the ring on motor cycle as l couldn't get near him.
 AS long as Johnston was handling Lewis we could get any kind of a decision fight plea across in him, but finally they broke and Charley Har- vey took over Lewis.
 Harvey then took the initiative and came around asking Dan if he knew a good place for bout.
 "Decision?" Dan asked.
 No decision," Harvey repli, d.
 1 thought Dan would try some of the arguments that he wasted on Johnston, but he surprised me.
 "Yes, I know good place, Charley Canton. Ohio."
 The match was made.
 l thought it was peculiar that Dan had accepted the bout with so muc. affability and 1 was surprised that he had selected Canton. He had worked up plan for a little strat- egy, however. and l will relate the plan and how it worked in regaining the title for me in the next and last chapter.

 Ric1wood park will be turned over to the major leaguers Tuesday after noon, and Billy West, secretary of the Birmingham Baseball association, is making plans to do things on large scale when the St. Louis Cardinals and Detroit Tigers meet.
 These two major leaguers who have been playing exhibition games together during the past week. will continue their series at Rickwood Tuesday. and park officials are eN- pectinG the record crowd of the sea son. The eDtroit-St. Louis game is the feature of the exhibition season in Birmingham, the game towards which fandom has been turning it's attention ever since Billy West an nounced the spring training schedule several weeks ago.
 l Detroit Americans and St. Louis Nationals, two of the flashiest outfits in the major leagues are pitted against each other. and baseball of the sensational type is expected to be played.
 Both the Tigers and the Cards play the game as the moderns play it.. with the element of surprise and the unexpected figuring strongly in their attack. Tuesdays game should bring foTfb h1 eehan of oaniliun class the Tigers and Cards are well fitted to the task of play that Kind of ball. Ty Making Good.
 Tyrus Raymond Cobb is establish ing himself as manager. Two years ago, when he took charge of the Detroit team, many were doubt fGl about his ability in managerial capacity. Undoubtedly the greatest ball player of all time, Cobb was entering new field and was an un- certain quantity. But, in two years he lifted Detroit out of a low posi- ton in the second division and took third place money. This year he will proba bly do even better, although he is claiming nothing.
 However, one thing that Georgia's wonder son has accomplished, and that $ generally overlooked, is the development each season of two star players. In 1921 he developed Lu- zerne Atwell Blue, first baseman, and Johnny Bassler, catcher and last year he elevated to stardom Emory RigneY. shortstop, and Herman Pill lette, pitcher.
 Usually managers are satisfied if they bring out one good player in a season. but Cobb has doubled the customary one in each of his two years as manager. This year will carry his team higher if he can du
