Tbla April —, 1911. The Personnel] and Pro ficiency of the Atlanta Ball Team is Yet Problematic. Atlanta. Ga., March 15.—The pre vailing Idea that baa been In vogue of late, la that the Atlanta team for the coming season Is a weak one. Any of you fans that have this bee under your bonnet had better banish the thought for onoe and for all. On the present personnel of tihe club, judging just from past perform ances, the Cracker* do not look to be very strong, that Is admitted, but the men who were touted so strongly be fore they had arrived, have, In their first workouts proven conclusively that they are Just the men for the place. The fielding of the Atlanta team this season Is going to be just as strong as the fielding of Atlanta teams In the past. In fact the Infield prom ises to be the best that the Atlanta team has ever boasted of. First Bass Bugbtar. That first base bugbear, which has all along been something that local moguls have dreaded. Is now a thing of the past. A "real” first sacker haa been uncovered at last, In the person of Earl Sykes, whom the Crackers se cured from Dayton in the Central lea gue. This fellow jumped Into a uniform Immediately upon hi* arrival here and the minute he got into action, he looked like tbe real goods. He han dles klmsef better than any man who lias ever played the Initial cushion In the Southern League. Hli fielding la immense. But It Is hla wonderful arm that la doing tbe bear-cat stunts. This fol low has a wing that la going to make Gem all alt up and take notice this season. He has a snap 'hrow with the wrist that sends the ball away at the speed of a rifle ball and he will nip many a baae runner with that wind. He throws from any position, and from any angle. He stands up to tbe plate like a hitter and If he lives up to his reputation as a swat ter then the Crackers are well forti fied. Manager Jordan will be at second base. No further comment is neces sary. That position is well taken care of. Scotty Walker, who played third last season lias been switched to short and It looks like the little phenom is going to be an even great er success.there. At third base the Crackers have uncorked another find In the person cf Al O'Dell who played with Syra cuse In tbe New York state league Inst season. This fellow fields won derfully, has a magnificent whip and stands up to the plate like a hitter, it Is on the paths though that he Is going to shine. He has the famous liana Lobert "lope” In rounding the bags and will be feared by every club In the league this year. Strong Catchers. The catching department of the game it going to be well taken care of this year. Miller with Montgomery last season is going to be the regulsr catcher, and Southern league fans of last season know bis work to well to need any further comment. Ulrich from New Bedford in tbe New England league and Wells from Savannah In the South Atlantic lea gue, are going to fight It out for the other position. Both are good throw ers. Ulrich is the taller and the heavier, being even bigger than Mill er. He I* also the better hitter, 10 be seem* to be assured of the sec ond catcher's place. Moran of last year's Atlanta team and Watson of Mobile last year are two of the outfielders. Thep are good men and need no introduction. Fen- Ion a big fellow who hit .365 with 8loux City last year I* the third man. Zimmerman, the outfielder from Utica la the New York state league, who swiped 105 bashes last season has not yet signed k contract If he re ports. he will fight it out with Fenlon (or the ce'nterfield Job. But tbe outfield Is not settled like the Infield or the catching staff. Wash ington and Brooklyn are to let Allan ta have a man and the three men now- playing outfield in the practice may not be on hand at all. 45wain from Washington and Coulson or Lejune from Brooklyn are the men whom At lants expects to get. , Out of the eleven pitchers that the Crackers are trying out, but fire of the bunch show any real promise and It looks from this angle like tbe hurling staff Is an uncertain proposi tion. Tom Fisher has not signed aa yet, but be will. When he does, he Is certain of a job. The other four places are uncertain. Britton from Williamsport ani Mar ti from Fayetteville are the best of the right handers Scanlon, Miller and H. Johns are the best of the left handers. It looks like Scanlon haa corned a regular berth and Mayer, too. This will leave two places to be fought out by Miller, H. Johns and Britton. Pitcher* Prendle, Fuclch, Dick, Crabble, Leonard, Rivard and W. Johns. Catchers Lock and Buchanan. Infielder Balentl and Mayer are out of the figuring. To date the men who have report ed are: “CRACKAJACK” The Greatest Cotton Grower Ever Put Ion the Market Every body who used it last year Is orderlog again for this year, and their friends and neighbor* are coming with them. THAT MEANS SOMETHING. Send in your order, early, delay may cause you to bav« to take some kind of guano you don't want. P. 8.— 1 . J WE SELL OTHER GRADES AUO.

Chicago, March 16.—Uncle Sam's breadbox predicament, with only 23 per cent aa much wheat in the hands o[ the farmer March 1, according to government figures used by Chicago Board of Trade, as the average for the last ten years, still further com plicates the question of the Canadian reciprocity bill. The quantity of wheat on farms on that date was 179,. 690,000 bushels, which Is only 25.3 per cent of the last year's crop.
