 Things are looking up in local base ball circles and the chances that Mont- Lgomery will have a team next sum- mer that will go even faster than that famous aggregation of 1905 look bet ter and better.
 Over in the office of President Cham bers at local baseball headquarters, there was whole lot doing--a big batch of news that made man look pleasant in spite of the disagreeable weather. Fs
 Somebody up in "old yerginnyr has evidently been smoking brand of dope that must be something fierce when he sent out the story that Montgom- cry had not drafted Stackpole.. and son and that therefore Montgomery's claim on them was invalid. President Chambers said yesterday that the draft for the two pitchers in question was sent to Secretary Farrell on Novem- drafting season, and that to show that everything was regular the check for the draft money was paid by the Fourth National Bank of Montgomery on November 12, three days before the close of the drafting season.

When Ryan was here some weeks ago he told the story of how Stack of the Connecticut League, and went to the Richmond Club of the Virginia League. Ryan nabbed him as soon as the drafting season opened. The Con- necticut people tried to. butt in with a claim on the pitcher, but 1t wouldn't work and Stackpole was awarded to Montgomery, as was Murry.
