SOUTHERN LEAGUE

TUSCALOOSA, Ala, May 15.-Siz former University of Alabama base ball players have berths this sea- son in the Southern association.
 Atlanta has Barnes. outfielder, and Startling, pitcher. Millar d Campbell. pitcher, is a regular hur- Ter for Birmingham. Broadus Con- natser is regular first baseman for New Orleans.
 Bailey Tipton, catcher, and Ray Moore, infielder, are, with Little Rock and Mobile. Tipton was rat ed as one of the best baseball play CTS ever produced at Alabama.

The answer seems to be an hndyesque "Yes and Mo-" 50 far as effect of the new major league baseball is concerned.
 It's a great help to the pitcher when Wes Terrell twirls no-hit game or Freddy Fitzsimmons holds the hard hitting Braves to a brace Of bingles.
 It's just as lively as the old sphere on the day that the Browns scored eight runs in the ninth, only to have them wasted by a Cleve- land rally, or on the afternoon that Rogers Hornsby smacks off three straight homers.
 In short, the good pitchers are still good and the heavy hitters are doing their customary damage, with few conspicuous exceptions.

WINTER SUNSHINE

John Burroughs, famous natural
list, published a book called winter
Sunshine, which many people in
Delaware read years ago. They will
recall how he endeavOred to make
people see the beauty of winter life.
They had previously looked at the
winter season in northern latitudes
as one of cold dullness.
Mr.. Burroughs could see beauty in
all seasons, in every painting which
Nature spreads before human eyes.
He pointed out in various essays the
beauty of wintry landscapes, the
brilliant color effects of snowy
scenes, the charming life of the win
ter birds as they pick up their liv-
ing around our dOorsteps..
1t is a wonderful gift, this abil-
ity to find beauty at all times of the
year. Those who have acquired it
do not have to travel long distances
to find scenes of loYeliness. They
are found everywhere.
