ATLANTA FEELS USUAL CONFIDENCE M ITS CRACKERS

ATLANTA, April 14.-(Special) )- From all indications the Crackers will have team this year that is bound to make someone hustle before the curtain has been rung down on the 1923 Southern league season. As for all around ability, President Corbett has garnered together the greatest crew of ball tossers that Atlanta fans have seen since Charlie Frank and a crew of youngsters won the rag.
 Everything is all set for the open ing of the season next Tuesday in Nashville, and with oscar Tuero do- ing mound duty and Manager Otto Miller behind the plate, the Crackers chances for capturing the opener seem very bright.
 o O O
 Crackers Lineup.
 The team will probab bly, line up as follows: Dowd or Ring. second base Guyon, left field; Killinger. third base Terman, first base; Burke, cen ter field; Langford, right field Moore, shortstop; Miller. catcher; Tuero, Pitcher.
 The Crackers returned Friday morning from three weeks sojourn among the sunshine of Palatka, Fla, and two-weeks' road trip exhibition games through the Carolinas.
 The entire squad is in the best of condition, and President Corbett and Manager Miller have both expressed opinions that the Crackers will finish among the first three teams.
 During the nine games played on the road trip the Crackers heavy hit ting lineup averaged .34S with Babe Herman, the lauky 20-year- O d youngster. who will hold down the first sack. reaching the .429 mark. Manager Miller, Brock. Ring, killin . ger, Guyon and Langford all finished high up.
 Fast Bunch.
 Besides having a crew of hitters, President Corbett has one of the ia st . est teams ever seen in this sction. Joe Guyon. Glenn Killinger. two all American football stars. are capable of clipping the 100yard dash within the 10-second limit, while "snooks" Dowd. who stole more bases in the lnternatinal league than Arch 1 deacon. the fastest man in baseball are on the squad. Eddie Moore and Herman are able to cover lot of ter ritory and can move over ground with more spec dthan the average in- fielder in this league.
 As for the pitching staff the Crack CTS have the strongest array of 1 fingers that the Crackers have ever boasted. oscar Teuro is the only vet i eran of last year. Bennie Kan, George Dumont and Cliff Best were secured from the Boston Red Sox and are certain of regular places. ] Neal Brady. who has pitched in the
 American association for the past 1 few years, also looks good, while Manly Llewellyn, secured from the Yankees. is a promising youngster Dick Nelhaus. who was with Cleve- land the year the Indians won the pennant. will be among the south paws to be carried. Fred Newberry a youngster who is having his first try at professional baseball, will be carried for the first month, but will probably be farmed out to some smaller club The team leaves Sat urday for Montgomery for game Sunday with the Alabama Power com pany's team, and will go from there to open the season in Nashville on Tuesday.

NIEHOFF SENDING VETERAN TEAM TO BARRIER IN 1923.
Very Few New Faces To Be Seen in Lineup Of
 Mobile Bears

MOBILE, Ala, April 14.-(Special Leased Wire .)-Mobile prospects in the Southern association this season are just as bright as they were last sason when the team, by wonder fur burst of speed in the last two months of the drive. held on to first and second berths. and then finally nosed out the cont enders in the race tho Memphis Chicks The pitching department of the club has been strengthened by the addition of two new faces-TommY Long. last season with the Louisville American associa- tion team. and Hill James, who was purchased from the Atlanta Crackers. As q whole the team is displaying the same team work that character ized their play of 1922 Perfect har- mony prevails on the team and there is not a stacker in the lineup.
 The infield remains the same with one exception, third base. Billy Null len. who hit over 300 and fielded sensationally. being absent but his place is taken by William Marriott. a 300 hitter and fast fielder from the Oakland team of the Pacific Coast league.
 The outfield of the champions of 1922 in this circuit remains intact with Rhino Williams in left field, Emmett Mulvey in center field and Dennis Williams in right field.
 The probable lineup of the Mobile Bears with New Orleans Tuesday in their first game of the Southern as sociation pennant chase will most likely find the same faces that played with the champion Bears last sea son, with one or two exceptions.
 Johnny HeVins, who played with the New Orleans Pelicans last sea son behind the hat, will most likely play that position in the opening game Heving was bought by Mo bile after the Southern association closed last year. During the 1922 season he played In e. games with the Pelicans, being used as second string catcher to back up Bob Dowie. .. The pitching selection for the open ing game will probably be selected from Charley c'Steamboat"4 Fulton, Tommy Long. secured by the Bears from Louisville. Ky, and oscar CLefty") Fuhr. It has been custo- mary for the opening game to be pitched by steamboat" Fulton. but it is not known whether he will be seen this year or not. Tommy Long has been showing great strides In the exhibition games of the season, and when he gets his good left arm wound up trouble is looked for. Lefty" Fuhr. another bright spot on the Mo- bile team. may also be seen on the mound. It was Lefty" who was about the main factor in the Bears win from Fort Worth in the post series. He was sick during the early part of the season but when the pen nant chase got well under way he overcame it and staged come back He began to show his best stuff dur ing the latter part of the year, and during the Fort Worth series he was responsible for many games.
