"We have graduated to the major
leagues," will he the cry of a goodly
bunch of ex-Hotithern leaguers this
spring.
Maybe It will be a case of "hack to
the minors" after the try-outs, but uny

Llehhardt and Nichols, of .Memphis,
Ahsteln and Ilyrne. of Shreveport;.

serting the proviso that they are In as
good condition this year as they
last.
Tommy Hughes Is a sure winner.
Tom led the Southern league ns a
pitcher last year and can undoubtedly
hold a Job with the New York Amer
icans. He has everything that any
good pitcher ever had. and. In addi
tion. he tgkfs care of himself and is
jrnibftfmia. Tom will hr a success.
That Ik a cinch. Fnless our prediction
e than usual, Tom will not only
hold Ills own In the American League,
but will be one of the slurs.
Next to Hughes, Llehhardt seem»
to have the best chance of landing. The

It Is about an even break for Nlch-

and In saying this we have not over

phenomenal style, nf course he eoutd

It is not the intention of the writer to edit this column ‘
with the HciMors. Such as it is he is personally responsible for
most of it.
But when some man says what he has been trying to sayi
and says it better and in less words the only thing to do is to I
print what the other fellow say.i and concluded it with a ‘‘Them’sj
my sentiments.”
Well.’Tierir’s what
ary issue of Outing:
‘‘Learn to say no to yourself with a big- N. Play hard when I
you play; and play fair. Don't bet; it takes the edge off the fun. J
If the gams does not give von enough fun on its own account,
look for one that does.
“Don’t gamble; it is n mighty poor investment; you never
get your money’s worth.
“Be ready for all your contests—your percentage of wina
will then be higher.
“Play in which the loser has no share in the benefits'it poor
play, ,
“Never kill beyond vour actual camp needs—and never
kill time .
The game which requires the ’incentive of money (betting)
is one for sporting men, not for sportsmen.
“If you cannot piny the game, get out of it.,
“If you cannot speak kindly of your competitor^, hold your
peace.——— — —
“It is better to lose through the other fellow’s cheating than
to win by his dishonest methods.
“Don’t throw mud: some of it is sure to spatter the wrong
person; besides—look at vour own fingers."
It’s good advice, ail of it. Think it over and see if it isn’t.
The S. I. A. A? has returned a verdict of “not guilty but
don't let it happen again'’ in the eases of Pollard and Sima.
Oil well, we’ve all forgotten what they were charged,with,
anyway. - '
Somebody has respectfully suggested that Charles Murphy

.“-The.dub at Atlanta, (in., in the South Atlantic League, is*
having a tilt with the United States government over Jerry Arm-i

This from The Boston Journal. ,
In a measure this is perhaps correct. Only he doesn’t mean
Atlanta and Atlanta isn't in the South Atlantic League and there ;
isn’t any tilt.
