Game Will be at Chilbowee Park Hatthewson and Tes reau Are to Pitch. Lanky Manager Exhibited Three of His Most Famous Flingers, Bender, Coombs and Houck. i it 's Thats a pretty hard question to answer, young man, aad Connie Mack, manager of the Athletics, Monday afternoon, when asked who was gotog to win the pennant in the American league in 19 3.

Yon see. the season hag not opened yet. continued the tall, slim man, a ho annexed the world's championship to 1910 and 1911, and then had the other managers to the American leagus scared half out of their "wits at the beginning of last season, and then even if it had. the question would be just as hard to answer. There are so many things to ie taken into consideration.

"At the present time, though, it looks a though the Boston Bed Sox and Washington will surely be contenders for the honor of leading the league tins year, and we think tint the Athletics will be in the same class, ton, then you can never 'tetL I have a wonderful ball team, -and one that can always be counted upon to a good account of itself, but last year thee other two teams had it on ua a little, when it came to the pitching end. Tneir pitch ers were a little mow fortunnte than ours in 1912. but if ours can come back a little in 1013, there is no donot but that the Athletics wilt be right up -t the top of the column, and probably leading the list. 1 "It looks now like the teams that were in the second3 division last year Jhave strengthened more than any-of the others, but then, too, the others probably did not need strengthening so much, no there you are. The Chicago White Box, whom I consider somewhat as a dark horse in the race, are likely to J.

In honor of the occasion, the mayor of Alexandria had declared the day a poolle holiday and hundreds realdents and school children ot that city witnessed- the game. Having bad the most notable attractions of Connie Macks two-time world champions to help entertain them Monday. local fans will have an even greater number of baseball celebrities to watch, this afternoon, for Manager Muggsy McGraw, of the New York Giants, will be here with his first teani, which furnished the opposition for the Mack-men in 1911, and Jake Stahls Boston Red Sox to 3912. The Giants are scheduled to play the Maryville college nine at -Chilbowee park this afternoon, beginning at three oclock, and a' tremendous crowd is expected.

In 3IcGrawa squad, which will ar? rive this morning from Birmingham, will be all of the fellows who were head-liners on the team in 1911 and 19UXi and some of them have filled the same' position for a half-decade or more.

Captain Larry Doyle, Fred Merkle, Buck" Herzog, the batting sensation the last worlds series, Red Jack Chafer, and oil the rest ot tuem whose names were on all the fans lips last fall. Much interest has been manifested ia the game, and If good baseball xieathet continues, it is doubtful if all the fans can be accommodated.

while in the fifth. Fred Bibb taught Daxis fly and then threw to McClure, catching Orr off the bag. I i aw. It a bad day for Fred Bibb, who did the catching for the Volunteers. He had two errors and one passed ball charged up to Cameron and McClure each had two while the seventh waa the property of Peck Ashe.

McClure carried of, the batting lion-, ors for the loeals. for; he vvas at bat four time, and had a single, a double and a base -on bulk, while he was thrown out at first on a sharp play by Shortstop; Detroit Mopped Up Chattanooga; March 31.

March 31. This city Today 'started to recover from the worst disaster to its history due to the ravages oF the Ohio- The river is falling but slowly, the stage here new, being fifty-three feet. The crest stage, which waa reached Saturday night, was 58.9, klxT feet higher than flood. ha been cut-off from the outside world by rail since Thursday and the. first train Is not expected out before tomorrow.

Four days the city has been without water supply, street cars, electric light, newspapers or maiL There ia but one known casualty thus far, but it is the general opinion that, the receding waters will disclose the bodies of people caught s. if 5 c- March -HI. Boston i Connie Mack's "baby" White Elephants defeated the University of Tennessee baseball team at CbHhowee park Monday afternoon by the score of nine to two, but that is not greatly to be wondered at, for most of the pitching for the babies" was done by. Jack Coombs and Big Chief Bidder, who were largely responsible for the-annexation of two- world's championships by the Maekmen.

Furthermore, all Of the -catching was done by Lapp, who wffi- dated to the world's aeries referred to above, and the first-basing was done by Harry Davis, ao was also very much in evidence in the same games, Of course, it is not to be understood. though, that the famous twirlers used -the same efforts in their box work ves- terday afternoon that they id "in lull) and 1U11. when'1 they humbled the Oubs and Jiew "York (iantn. -On the- other had it not been for the kindness of the fbig chief in the eighth frame, when he lobbed" a few over, find then made a Indierous wild throw intentionally, the apace the score board set aside for the Volunteers would hare been unadorned, save by big round ciphers. However, thanks to' Bender, Pitcner Dawson and Peck Ashe rang up at the home plate, after having touched all the bases in their journeys around the bags.

There is doabt, tUoagrh, that the Volunteers have- improved much since they appeared against the St. Loots Nationals several days ago, although the fielding yesterday was very and against college teams they should'! able to make an excellent Bhowing. They were not Rnn shy when it came to batting yesterday, and stood up to the plate just like they fully expected to get. safe hits, even if they were facing come of the very best pitchers in the country. The game was extremely interesting from beginning to end, and the six hundred-or more fans iu attendance certainly got a good run for their money.

It would have been more than worth the priee of admission" the notables in action, but there were a number of little incidents' and happenstances" that added much to the pleasure of the fans. Thus everybody was welt pleased, the Yannigans, because they had gotten a good Workout; the Collegians because they had scored upon a big league team, and the fails -because they glimpsed the famous players -in action, and even got at took" at the more famous manager, Connie Mack, and then, had seen, a-really good ball game. Still a Bit Shy. That little old stage fright which did so much damage in the toping of the game with the St. Louis Nationals was also in evidence in the first toning of yesterdays game, when three runs were scored.

Again in the fifth frame, the Volunteers went aviating, and three errors, two doubles and one triple act counted for four runs. The other two were made in the seventh session, so in fixe of the spasms, the collegians were able to keep the Athleties from scoring. The Philadelphians defeated the Montgomery team of the Southern league Monday- afternoon by the score of six to nothing, so the showing made by the locals whs very good. Three pitchers were need by.Managtr Mack, and of them are regulars. Houck started on the -mound for the athletes from the Quaker city and he allowed one hit, struck out two men and gate one base on balls.

He was followed by Iron Man" Jack' Coombs, the former Colby college star, who struck out three men. gave one base on bails and soaked Peck" Ashe in the top of the head with an easy rainbow drotU which the red-haired seemed not to mind at all. and laughed almost as hard as did Coombs, who yelled with laughter as he sank to the ground in the pitchers box. The last pitcher to face the. college players was Big Chief Bender, who played in right field during the other six innings.

Three In a Bow, It was three op and three down for the collegian to the first toning the lanky Indian worked, but in the Becond, after Bibb had gone out on fly to Jack Coombs, who succeeded Bender as guardian of the rifiht field. Bender allowed Dawson to get little hit, which was not really mneh-of a hit, and then Peck" Ashe connected for a two-bagger, scoring Dawson, Cameron struck out, -and Bender played horse" with Thomason, making no effort to throw the runner out at first, while he threw over the catchers head and then threw wild to second base, allowing Ashe to score also. In the last session, McClure wot a two-base hit, so the Volunteers got four of their five hits off of Bender, who. was glvena great hand 'when he first appeared on the lot, and whenever he came to bat. Coombs, Davis and Lapp were also applauded and cheered very liberally Davis had two two-baggers out of four time up, wbijts Coombs rapped out a smart one-bagger when he earn to the bat the first time, and Lapp hit for two bases, The eeore follow: Athletics Atrrenson, Daley, cf Flick, 2b Frit.

In all probability.
