Young Corbett seems to have “passed." It took him
“guile a spell" and probably lie had n good time during the
“years lie basked in the light of the Great White Way.
And now the light is out. ns fur ns Young Corbett is win-
cerned. lie can now drop his "nom de png" and sink ijuietly
into oblivion ns plain James Itothwell, under whieh title lie
traveled before hia pugilistic day*.

it is noted with regret that Clark Griflilli is already begin
uing to turn the surplus New York players over to the .Montrca.
Club, whieh he owns. Atlanta has about as mueh chance of get
ting any more help from him ns she has from Charley Frank.
.However that does not make any especial difference. Hilly
Smith has the pennant winnor signed im riidit now- onu i...
Anyway, the other teams m the Southern League are seared
to death and that helps u lot, espeeiully at the start of the light.
Local dopesters can not see how Birmingham ean finish one-
two ; three-four with the team sin- lias this year. However, as
far as the writer is concerned, he could not see Imw they could
do it Inst year.
It wouldn’t be surprising to see Atlanta and Memphis finish
in the two top places this year. They were hard alter them
last Year.

Fred Tenney’s Team May- Train
In Greenville This Spring
.Oregnviiig«-fie-.Cs- Jon. KLtr^hc-Boa-
ton National Leaguu baseball club may
train In Oreenvllle this spring How
ever, It la up to the Greenville fans.
The reason why the Drooklyu team
will go to Jacksonville, Flic, to truln
this spring and not go to Columblu,
as has been the case f«»r the past four
years. Is the fact that Patsy Donovan
and hla men have been turned down
by the local directors, who think
that the big fellows taka up too much
space and tlmo In their playing und
the Gamecocks as a result do n-<t get u
good start In the race for the Hally
league rug. They offered llrooklyn
the grounds this year, but they wanted
a little something In tho way of cash
on tho *14a KbbetH»-^f
dho Hupcrlms refused to cmne across.
Tho Hrcoklyn managers then secured
the Jacksonville Icitguc grounds und
will work out there This attitude
toward one totim will probably keep
the poor, dejected, downtrodden Pos
ton National l.eagucn from trying to
come hero or to iimrU**d«*ii. Charles
ton directors have ait>uminl the same
position and h ive taken the *»:nn« views
as the Columbia dUectors. and llmre
will hurdly be any use for the Kean-
eaters to make application f»*r their
diamond.
The only decent place left for train
ing now In the Mate I* the Peat I of the
Piedmont, and if the proper move Ih
made it will mean the bringing of Fred
Tenney s team to Greenville.
Sun of Dixie Thaws Out Ex-Big League Stars
The snn that shine* rm PVsIr ir w\UV
to have a s|*eelal signification for those
who know It. and even for some who do
m»t know It. nays The Nashville Hnn-
ner. At hast, this Is ho In baseball.
Ah a rule, the life of a major leaguer Is
hot Very long, and- ^mr -plncr-must-be-
found for the superannuated. Hack to
Dixie Is the t ry, and it Is probable that
more of those who "used to was" are to
be found In the smith than In any other
seetlon. A glance at the make-up of
Southern dubs will verify these atate-
monts.
Probably the most ti »ted of hlg
leaguers who imw hold bertha In Dixie
Is T. Itreltensteln, who haa been ft
faithful performer for Charlie Frunk
for several seasons Time was when
Unit was one of the best In the busi
ness, and that time l-» not ho far dis

around the circuit as the "Ten Thou

Apother hlg league star who has been
relegated to the lesser lights Is Charlie
Miller, knmvn to baseball throughout
the country as • Dusty" Miller, lie was
formerly a star outfielder of the Cin
cinnati—Ieuin also, inn-in -hardly good
enough for a class H outfit now. Dusty
like Foxy old Hrelt has the cunning of
y«»re. hut the ability to execute the
pr>Hluets of .his think shop Is sadly
ho king.
Harry Vaughn will also cotne In for
consideration as one of-the lights that
once shone In fast company. Harry,
too. was a Cincinnatian, at least during
the a hasel>uM season, and In his day
he was one of the best catchers that
ever donned a mask and mit. Hut
dlartv went the way of the others, and
he is n.w content t<* sit «*n the bench

less experienced aspirants, while fate
