Tb; t's why the spirts fans depend upon The Clarion Ledger sports pag for their real dope.

A study rf schedule an excellent arrangement of the playing: dates, all the way around. Saturday dates are nicely distributed among thfe cities which do not play Sunday baseball while the Sunday towns have en equal division of the Sunday playing: dates. The schedule is declared to be especially pleasing because it the transportation costs and difficulties at their minimum, no single club having any disproportionate ltare of traveling expenses or hard jumps to make. The opening date? and holiday-games are as decided at the first directors meeting of the year, being as follows: Opening games April 8 Jackson at Vicksburg, Monroe at Alexandria Meridian Laurel, Gulfporc at Return opening dates April 12 Laurel at Jackson, Alexandria at Gulfportr at Vicksburg. Only two "Hattiesb'urg Monroo (April 13, because of jump).

July 4 Alexandria at Monroe, Gulf port at Bicfcsburg. Only two games, because the Fourth of July falls on a Sunday.

Ky club of the American Association, has been purchased by ttiA liattiesburg team of the Cotton States league, it was announced today and will appear here tomorrow in a Tinetopper uniform when the locals meet the Mobile Bears in two exhSibtion games. It was announced by Manager Eobo that Joe Ascherman, who caught for Ilattiesburg in 1924. and who had been expected to return this Reason, had announced that he wouLf not play baseball this year. W.

SHARP CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT Announces Removal of His Office Capital National Bank to Room 512-1-4 Oenturv Building ES3 0 fD) Ma 3, Camel like a The discarding season is at hand, and the various Cotton States league clubs are getting men from clubs in leagues. the higher classification Horace Long, who cavorted around left field here last season has been released by Birmingham to Bill Pierre at Alexandria, together with a pitcher and a catcher. But Max Rosenfield will continue to juggle pies and such things, having abandoned baseball permanently, he says. Ascherman, who was a snappy receiver for the Bobomen last year, and who promised much in the game, has decided to abandon the great American game as a means of livelihood although he will continue to be enthusiastic about it as a sport. Within the next few days, local business houses and baseball enthusiasts will be announcing what prizes they will award the players of the home team for outstanding feats in the opening game at home.

It took Horace Perry, a veteran policeman, to make the first offer of a prize, and it is a handsome prize, at that. Perry has announced that he will make a hand made belt, with solid gold buckle. fjr the home player who hits the first three sack-cr on the home grounds during the season. Perry left his announcement at the Jackson cafe, with instructions to tell all the boys about it. It was another fine day yesterday and the candidates took full advantage of it.

They had an excellent workout, although the grounds still were too wet and soft for the best sort of work to be done. Too bad the two Mississippi teams at the Chicago tournament were eli minated but the boys did their best all the way. they were not out until they had staged a nervy battle, and they won honors, if nothing els.e, for themselves and their state, by the sportsmanship and clean vlay-ing. And that's wnat counts most, after alL Despite the fact it is ten days yet before the opening game is played in Jackson, there is already a big demand or opening game tickets and" the boys who pledged themselves to handle them, are passing' them out snafpily. Rush Knox, general chairman of the committee of five, is resting up on the gulf coast after the strenuous days of the legislative session but the other members of the committee are making plenty hay while the sun is shining so brightly.

Already a bunch of Jackson fans have completed plans for attending the opening game of the season at Vicksburg. The Senators will pry the lid off on that occasion, and because there is a fine highway between the two cities, it is expected many an automobile will carry its share of passengers to witness the clash. The Laurel Lumberjacks will com to Jackson to open the season on these home grounds, and that means there will be a nice bunch of enthusiastic Laurel fans here, especially for the opening game, which will be on Monday. April 12, allowing the" fan3 to drive up Sunday night. Jackson will go to Meridian May 4 and 5, and then Meridian will come to Jackson May 10, 11 and 12.

The Senators will find the visiting bench at the Meridian park somewhat isolated, the bench having been removed from its old location right Where 1 all the" bughouse fans could start something.

The Cohay sextet furnished (the feature surprise of the. day et the Smith county athletic field meet, held at Taylors-ville, by defeating the local team, 11 to 7.

Day Manager Sam Vick Has Big Squad Busy Trying to Show What they Have Down at Laurel baseball is on the up-grade, and the Laurel Leader gives the information that excitement is at fever heal. The paper prints the following about Sam Vick's crew of candidates. Manager Sam Vick and the Laurel Lumberjack squad had a stiff workout in the Y.

M. C. A. gymnasium Monday afternoon when the rain made it impossible to work at the ball park. They played volley ball, basketball and ran around the floor to improve their leg muscles and wind, and generally get into physical condition for the gruelling Vick plans to put them through between now and April when the season is scheduled to open.

President John Evans of the Laurel club was in Jackson Tuesday attending the league meeting to finally decide on the schedule. The one adopted at the previous league meeting, was found after more careful consideration to be unsatisfactory to some clubs, particularly Vicksblirg. There is some talk of delaying the opening because of so much rain during the trafning period but as a similar proposal at the last meeting was voted down little hope of a later opening is held out. Laurel has a good baseball team now, with the possible exception of a couple of high-class pitchers. Negotiations are under way to complete the pitching staff and it is expected to complete the team from the rookies on hand or coming.

The Lumberjack squad today stacks up like this: Outfielders Manager Sam Vick; Hal Clark, Robert Donehoo, of One-onta, Fletcher Goodman, Crenshaw, Ira (Red) Collier, Water Valley, Lamar Goodman. Crenshaw. Haney Baylor University; M. D. Mar shall and J.

Parkhurst, Hartsville. Inficlders Ethel Cooper, Tupelo; i Arthur Hunt, New York; Parks, Louisville, Tanner, Byrd, Lena, Summers, Columbia Beck, Electric Mills and Memphis; Cotton Plant, Davis, El Dorado. Ark. Pitchers Anderson, Laurel; Mc-Swain, Detroit Gurner, Water Valley, Miss. Also Fletcher Goodman, listed as an outfielder, can work in the bov, and M.

D. Marshall is a pitcher too. Catchers Tip Parker, Haney can also wrk behind the bat; Frank McDade," Laurel boy; is working! out with the squad; and J. rark- hurst makes a combination of fielding and catching. Handsley has not yet arrived and the two Arkansas boys are yet to appear.

The Goodman brothers and Gurner came in with Vick and Beck is on the job. Smith, infielder from Cotton Plant, is reported by Manager Vick to be highly recommended both as to fielding and hitting. Davis played with El Dorado last year and is said to 'be an exceptionally fast fielder.
