HAHN IS CHOSEN COURT LEADER BY TIGER CAGESTERS

AUBURN, Ala, March 23. = (Spe- cial.)-Fred Hahn, star forw. I'd .- last seasons Tiger basketball squad. was elected captain of the 1s2A team at meeting of the basketball "A" men. Jessie Duke was electe. student manager at the same aeet- ing.
 Hahn is from Birmingham and j a brother of Hub Hahn, who was last week elected captain of the Bir- mingham Athletic club cage team and was also a former cage star of the Plainsmen. Captain-elect Hahn played four years basketball on the Central High team of Bir- mingham. the last year being cap- tain of the squad. He has also had & couple of years in baseball in his prep school training.
 Duke is also from Birmingham, and was formerly of Central High and later of Marion institute. He had no previous experience .n the basket game prior to his comi- g u Auburn, but made his letter in the indoor game in his second year with the Hutsell squad. Both Hahn aAd Luxe are juniors In the school or engineering.
 Hahn's performance at the wald position on the past seasons team well merited the confidence of his teammates in making him the leader for the 1923 season. He was the high scorer for the squad, leading the list by good margin. Duke always played a consistent guard at the stationary position.
 Nine men were given their let ters. which were awarded at a meet ing of the "A' club soon after the season closed. The list included Captain Dudley, Captain elect Hahn, Duke, Mckinney, Shirey, Creel, Saw age, Harrison and Jones.

MGRAW BUILDING ANOTHER INFIELD| FOR FUTURE USE
''LittIe Napoleon" of Base ball Sticking to Grind
 Throughout Years

NEW YORK, Marchs 23.-With a nice country home, comfortable for tune and everything that man age for retirement, John McGraw continues the arduous duties of han ding a champion ball club.
 The Little Napoleon" of the dia- mond must be tired of sleeping cars, fed up on hotel food and hardened to Twenty-Five years of stiff going in an exacting game where it takes youth to hold out ought to make a veteran of a man in heart and bone.
 McGraw must have some reason for stick at a grind that must be tire some most of the time. He must have some ambition beyond the mere making of dollars.
 He must be inspired by some great desire and from the change in his projects it may be that Mac" wants uated for all times and have himself recorded as the greatest of all base ball managers.
 McGraw Building.
 McGraw used to buy, but he is
 
 with the attitude that today is the day and let tomorrow take care of itself. Now he is working both ends
 With just a few exceptions. the great Giant ball club which McGraw will start as a favorite in the 1923 pennant race came "ready-to to wear" off the market. It stands great ball club this year. and it is not at the cracking point, although the veterans outnumber the youngsters in the reg ular lineup.
 McGraw apparently is working on the theory that his infield, the great combination that made the Tanks look sick in the last worlds series, hasn't long to go and he Is grooming another combination to step up when Groh, Bancroft and Kelly have to step down.
 No other ball club has in the mak- ings an infield to compare with Me- Phee. Princeton third baseman; Jack son. Little Rock shortstop; Fred Ma guire, Holy Cross second baseman. and Jimmy O'Connell, St. Mary's first baseman, who is also a $75,000 out fielder.
 With three or four major league clubs, that infield would be regular workers, but McGraw doesn't need them right now. and all the time. with the strict personal direction that Me Graw carries out, they will be learn- ing as they sit on the bench.

Catcher Hammond Reports to
 Barons-Tommy Taylor to
 Return to Lineup Thursday

A jinx fa- worse than the che which attached itself to ancient Job seems fast on the trail of the Barons. Joe Dunn's men are skidding and slipping in their efforts to shake this master Jinx, no less than the god of weather himself. The Barons had another exhibition baseball game go by the boards Friday, when the game with Toronto was called off on account of wet grounds.
 First it was Boreas. and this able emissary of the weather god made life miserable for the Barons during their trip through south Alabama. Four out of six games fell through before Boreas vented his last gleeful wintry blast over the shivering camp If Dunn.
 And now there is Jupiter Pluvius. another of the weather gods right hand men. and this lieutenant right capably and willingly filled the va cant place of Boreas. Torrents fell Thursday afternoon. night and early Friday, making baseball at Redwood thing to be discussed only
 Birmingham has one more game scheduled with Toronto, to be- played at Redwood Saturday. If no fur ther moisture dampens Jones Valley atmosphere and Rickwood real es- tate, the game will be played at o'clock as scheduled. That state ment was given out by Secretary Billy West Friday night.
 Birmingham's Southern league pas timers arc now in the midst of their spring training schedule. From now on until the opening of the season on April 17. games will be played with clubs of higher than Class A rating at Fleetwood park. Some of the country's best teams come to Birmingham during the spring sea- son.

Inuerness Golfer Is
 Forced to Limit To Win Belleair Tourney

BELLEAIR HEIGHTS, Fla. March 23.-Robert A. Stranahan of Inver ness, also of the Westport and Brook lawn clubs, won the Bellair cham pionship today when he defeated George E. Morse in 36-hole final by ? up.
 The match was one of the best ever played in this championship. During the days play there was never diff ference of more than 8 holes between the pair. Morse proved to be the bet ter general in the morning round over the No. ? course. He stood one up at luncheon.
 In the afternoon round Stranahan squared the match on the very first hole when Morse failed to reach the green in 2. Stranahan also won the second hole and became 1 up. Morse won the third and the match was all even again. Stranahan picked up when he found his ball in an unplay- able lie.
 At the ninth hole they were still all even. The Inverness golfer was out in 2S. while Morse required one more stroke.
 Stranahan won the next two holes with par golf and became one up. At the thirteenth it looked as if Morse would win this easily. Stranahan' was in the Palmettoes. while the Rut land player ovcrpIayed his green and found his ball ur against a treC stump. He could only move it short distance with his mashie. Stranahan won the hole.
 The latter was dormie 3 at the beginning of the sixteenth. Morse put up gallant fight and with a par and a par won the sixteenth and seventeenth. Although Morse found a trap or the eighteenth, his third shot landed only five feet from the cup. Stranahan was eight feet off the green in 2. He chipped up close to the hole and sank othe putt for a four. All he needed was a five. how ever, as Morse missed his putt Stranahan played the round in 76, while Morse was three strokes worse in the afternoon round.
