MONTGOMERY HAS
FINE PROSPECTS

Montgomery. October Especial y
With Rufe Molly, right-hand spitball
artist, signed for the next season, dandy
catcher and hard-hitting outfielder on
the line, and prospects for three others
who look good to him, President L. B.
Joseph of the Montgomery Baseball club
thinks there is pride of outlook for next
year that is not unwarranted at the pres
ent time. He will go up to the Memphis
meeting with feeling of confidence that
the team will get into the fastest COM
pany of the league next year. In the
meantime Ed Greminger is looking over
a likely bunch of prospects under his eye
and will report soon for selection.
Molly, who went out from Montgomery,
won the last 10 games of the present sea-
son with Wheeling, the final contest being
a no-hit game He is 26 years old and
knows all about the game. He was Sc
cured from the Cotton States two years
ago by Charley Frank, but held only a
short time. going to one of the big
leagues. Molly will be needed to fill a
gap that is likely to be made by the re-
tirement of DR.. Forest Thomas, who is no
doubt looking to the practice of medicine.
JUL may also fail to return. as he is a
lawyer, and his folks are said to be look
ing for him to get out. Kerwin did not
make very good in the field, and may not
get in again. At any rate, the team is to
have fine lot of men when the time
comes to play ball next year.

Headquarters, this being the draft price.
New York required such a long time

This hope was given new life when it be-
