 The local tear1 is now complete and when the Black Sox go into the first championship game every man on the team will be in his proper position. Last night Manager Whistler completed deal with the Newark Club of the Eastern League by which he bought the release of Wally Taylor. It seems that Newark had more inhelders thar they wanted and Whistler managed to buy the release of Taylor, one of the fastest they had.
 Taylor played last season with Colum- bus in the Eastern League and Is a very hard hitter, a fast fielder and very fast on his feet on the baselinee. Childs will hardly be wanted now, even | if he decides to come to Montgomery | although Whistler Is still holding him This puts puts Kanzler in the field and with Molesworth, Durett and Kanzler, the local outfield will be one of the fastest | in the Southern League, both as to field | ing and hitting.
 Taylor leaves Cincinnati for Montgom. | cry today and will be here by Friday al | the latest.
