Just put in your order to Riggs Stephenson for April 10 deliv ery and yjiu will be taken care of The Baron roster lists no less than four young inen moro or less young at any who are adept at occupying the farthest hottest outpost of the infield Not one of them can be guaranteed the best third baseman in the league but every one of them making class al lowances for two of them can all but be guaranteed to come up to the requirements Selecting the right man from a list that includes Elmer Trapp Hugh Willingham Phil Seghi and Buck Ramsey will be among the major problems for Man ager Stephenson during March and early April i Trapp you all know WilUngham you may remember as Little third baseman in 1929 Seghi was uougnt at tne Montreal meeting from Sioux City of the Western League which is Class A making him a non class player In the A 1 Southern Ramsey is the textile league star that Bill Pierre picked up in North Carolina last Summer Based on immediate use alone Trano would be the winner In fhn four way race He didn't have a good batting year in 1936 but he is above the Class A 1 average meas uring him in all departments Wil lingham has been a high grade in fielder doubling at short and third He's the most seasoned performer of the lot but was out of organized ball last Summer having been un willing to report to Sioux City Wil lingham batted only 269 with Little Rock but after being taken by the White Sox Who farmod him fo Dnl las he socked Texas League pitch ing in 1930 for 321 in 143 games driving in 116 runs and hitting 38 home runs five triples and 27 doubles That was by far his best season with the bat Seghi batted 301 last year with Sioux City driving in 104 runs which was tops in the league Ram sey's record Is not available but suffice it to say that he is another of those apples of Bill Pierre's eye the rosiest recent specimen of which was Clyde Shouri When Pierre goes down the line for one of his sand lot finds it is advisable to wait a while before turning thumbs down on said find Ramsey's a raw recruit anti all that the two words im ply but take it from Pierre ht is on his way I WINIELD Ala Jan The Winfield basket ball jour neys to

One of the city's three undefeated prep cage machines will fall from the ranks of the unbeaten Thursday afternoon when the Ramsay Tech quintet tackles the Phillips Crimsons at the Southside Baptist Gymnasium The game will start at 3:30 Despite the fact the Rams will be playing on their home court the Crimsons are slightly favored in the encounter due to the numerical su periority in experienced players However the game is a continuation of the hottest feud in the city and the flames were fanned even higher during the past football campaign when the Phillips eleven eked out a 7 6 victory ovei the Rams Phillips Bessemer and West End were the only three local teams to triumph over Ramsay on the grid lait season and the Southside eagers have already evened the score in a measure by beating West End 34 to 11 and Bessemer 23 to 20 in their first two games Thursday the Ram eagers will be seeking to add the Phillips scalp to their trophy list The Crimsons got a bad game out of their system Wednesday when they loafed against a Corner team that was quick to seize the advan tage and a second half rally that ex tended into an overtime period was necessary before Coach Ernest Tucker's floormen came up with a 24 20 decision The game should make the Crim sons come back all the stronger In the opening two games Phillips triumphed over Montevallo with ease 26 12 and trimmed Mortimer Jordan 31 17 Coach Bill Raney will probably start Newell and Edear Bear den at forwards Robert Hewlett at 1 center and Capt rank Dominick and James Preston at guards Likely Phillips starters are Eu

goals in the pro game than in college gridiron struggles The reason for that is fairly simple: ine going is so tough when a pro team gets down in scoring territory that it is seldom able to put the ball over for a six point marker As a result there are many more goais me pro game ana at greater distances It fell to Rdey lot to do all the field goal kicking for the Boston Redskins the past season Ofd Alabama quarterback had the pleasure of playing against Don Hutson former great end at the University of Alabama in the greatest and most important battle of pro football in 1936 That was me battle between the Green Bay Packers and the Boston Redskins in the final game of the season to determine the i League championship Hutson's Packer buddies won out by a rather neat margin but Riley says it was a battle from the word go He also informed me that Hutson has really his ovn in professional football and that he was given an end assignment in the all pro se lection when the season was over' BUI Lee former all America tackle at Alabama played on the Brooklyn team along with Kirkland ana Jim Whalley last season and Riley says the Redskins went up that cm 14 I 'xv KUVC1U1 LllilUb

change of venue this Winter and will do most of his wrestling in California and other Pacific Coast states While ve weie chatting with Riley on this and that we asked him how come so many more fights in pro football than in the college game and if the battles on the field really a battle for blood A wicked gleam came into Riley's eyes and he replied: couldn't ever be called a sham battle There are too many nroKen noses and knuclkes for that They are tie for blood and the main you see so many more of football is that penalties are niimprftns: and oi holding until the man al ways after gets sick and tired of it If the holding or the roughing stopped on the first warning or so finally the lists begin to Marshall's Redskins such a great success from a gate receipt standpoint the past season Smith attributes Boston's coolness to the Redskins to the fact that everybody up in that neighborhood is horse race crazy So with several tracks close by the turf meets get most of the customers Because of this fall ing off in attendance Marshall will move the Redskins over ton next season and they will play their games in Griffith Stadium We asked Riley what the new club would be named and he replied Senators I By the way Riley has been trying to get in touch with Dixie Howell ever since he ai rived back in Bir mingham so if you happen to know whether Dixie is in town and his address:
