proof positive that there Is something
lacking.
Cooperation in any business Is the one
secret of success and the Birmingham
ball players are certainly shy a few in
that particular.
If. under the present management, co..
operation is not predominant, then in
justice to the baseball loving public, as
well as to the few ball players whose
heart Is in their work. regardless of their
environments, let us have a change. This
season of the year would work no hard
ship for building up a new team. 1t is
never too late to mend and without a
doubt the public are with you. We fans
are hungry for a first class ball team
and by first class, / mean everything
that constitutes good ball playing. Let &
have good. clean, honest team, cut out
favorites and get down to brass tacks.
If ! were manager, / would not stand
for players fumb1ing the BALI because
they did not want a certain pitcher to
win his game. / would not be dictated to
by any of the players. What is man
ager for2 If he is not capable there are
others who are.
Does Jimmy O'Brien expect to play ball
on any other team that he can afford
to play ball only at times?
Has Billy Smith any other means Of
lAtnDOUu lildt ne can SACRIFICE. his FbDu-
tation by his lack of interest at certain
times?
Short stops are all right when they
are something besides short stops in
name only. If / could not meet the de-
mands imposed on short stops, would
trush up a bit during my leisure hours.
Lynch would not be out of place on
third base.
1t looks to me that Hanley would be
good In left field
Matthews Is an all-round heart-in-the-
game player but should not be worked
to death because he is willing. IL he Is
to do all the catching let him draw all
the pay set aside for catchers.
And there is Vaughan. Much has been
said In his favor and we all know what
Daddy Is and the very least we can say
Is: I'VE would like to see him manager
Of the Birmingham baseball team, with
absolute control"
Duffy too has proven his worth to the
team and we sanction all the good things
said of him.
With our motto: Cooperation in each
| and every game" let's play ball.
The management Of the Birmingham
baseball club have had sufficient prompt
! Ing and II they want anything In tht
/ treasury to divide at the close Of the sea-
son, they had better heed the appeals OF
the fans for we are the people who sup
port the game. THEO. VIERLING.
