managed to build out OF these
materials q very clear mental
picture OF Jim Warren and q full
understanding Of his silence.
The story Of silence" Il pure
meIodrama. 1t opened with q
scene in the waiting room Of the
death house at State prison
where Warren, condemned to die
in five hours, is asked for the
last time to break his silence,
confess the true story Of the kill
ing for which he is to hang, al
nit the identity Of the real Grim
lhal and thereby save his own
life.
But Warren is one Of those
silent men who learned his ethics
Of "squea1ing" on the east side
Of New. York. At least that was
his reason for not telling.
He is finally persuaded to
uncover his story to the prison
chaplain at q Catholic confession.
Silence" then reverts twenty
years and the threads Of circum.
stances that led from the lower east
side Of Warren's youth to the day
when the killing was contaminated,
are woven together by the players.

lence. but no hint of the identity
Of the killer. Just a shot on the
air and no one knowing its origin.
The second thrill came with the
disclosure that the priest to whom
Warren confessed his story was a
fake, planted by the district attor-
uey to gain Warren's whole story
and to implicate his political enc
mics.
The play ended then on a last
high note of melodrama.
We have endeavoredR to identity
some little trick by which the play.
ers were able to so completely
hold the listeners attention and to
give him such a perfect picture of
the story they had to tell.
There were no announce-s de.
scriptions, no interpolated stage di-
rections nothing save the voices of
the players expressing their lines
as they would to a theater audience.
And above all there was the mag.

practice a certain number Of days each week on the Birmingham Athletic clubs court, in order that it may become acquainted better with the floor on which several of it's larger games are to be played.
 Play E. A. c. Jan. 2
 As yet the< seasons schedule is in complete, but is rapidly taking shape, according to Manager Cole. It is known, however, that the Panther quintet will oppose the B. A. c. basketeers Jan uary 2, the opening day of school after the Christmas holidays. The initial game with the Alabama cagesters will follow on January 5, and by that date the Hilltop team will be entering on it's regular schedule, which will then be completed.
 Definite arrangements for two major road trips have already been made by the team management. The first of these will be through Mississippi, end ing with game with Centenary col lege at Shreveport, La. The other trip will be to Georgia, where the team will participate in the s l. A. A. tourna- ment at Macon. Many other big games are expected to be booked in the near future.
 Freshman Team
 Nothing definite can yet be announced concerning the Freshman team. Regular daily practices are being held at the college gymnasium, and an abundance of material, which came up from prep and high school teams, has reported to Coach Perry. Among those who are on hand as formidable candidates for the Rat" team are several stars, who are expected to put Up keen opposition for places on the quintet.
 At the guard positions there is a galaxy of football players, who are con- sidered dangerous candidates for the team. Heading this list are Frank Allen and Joe Lowery. Ray Wheeler and Ivan Hill are imposing court fig ures who are also out for this place.
 The center position will be fought out between Harris and Long, who are battling daily for berth on the first team. Both men are in reality young giants" and will take care, in fine fashion, of this position.
 The promising forwards, thus far, are: White, Noble, Giddens and Miller. Possibly ten other candidates are out for the Frosh team, which is yet in the class, since it has not yet secured a place in any of the city loops. A schedule is now being worked on, the stated Wednesday, and a definite menu will soon be ready for the Greenies. In the meantime, regular practices will be held. and scrimmages will continue as hard as ever, Coach Perry announced.

Scores From First On Infield Out With Hal Chase
 As The Victim

cess proved the correctness of his calcu- lations.
 Cobb figured out early in his career that while the danger of his being put out would increase in proportion with the chances he took, the danger of the infield making an error also increased. The faster he went the faster they would have to handle the ball to retire him. All too frequently this fast hand ling of the ball resulted in a tumble or wild throw that gave him the oppor- tunity to score. Sometimes he was thrown out, but the percentage was much in his favor. He was lucky, yes, but he was lucky because he created his own luck.
 Jack Egan, who umpired in the Amer ican league for awhile, related this in cident. It occurred in a game where he was working.
 Jack Knight was playing third for New York. Cobb was on first and started to steal. But on the pitched ball on which he went down, Crawford singled to left. Cobb was almost on second when Crawford hit. Cobb scared around like a sea gull and headed for third. The New York infield yelled to Knight to get Cobb, for Knight had his 
 the throw from the left fielder. Knight knew that Cobb was coming from the way the crowds roared. He expected him to slide and was ready to swing down on him. But Cobb did not Slide. Knight discovered that when he swung down. And before Knight could throw home Cobb had slid across the plate.
 His Specialties
 Cobb made a speciality of scoring from first on chances that the average play CT would never consider advancing more than one base. He scored from first on bunts, singles to short outfield terri tory, fly balls. He did not get around the bases, from first to the plate, be- fore the ball was returned to the in- field, but he did get around before the ball was returned to the pitcher. It was not clean going, but it could | not have been that. Someone had to | make mental or physical error to get Cobb around, but that was part of | Cobb's play. He always tried to make the opposing team commit errors, me- chanical or mental. He led them, one way or another, into blundering. That
