 Gene was then captain of the Atlanta team Alb Powell was manager. De- mont and the Pelican manager hap pened to meet in the same cafe just before train-time that night.

 It wasn't but few months after that before they had it doped out around the circuit that Frank had ly tsrms soon after that. anu neither has nursed a grudge since then.
 Demont used to be whiriwini minor league ball player. and he is picks up a good many ball-players who are considered "all in" by other clubs. Birmingham thought Matthews was all in They thought the same thing about Jack Manning. They were mis- taken in both.
 Cholly will give Demont all the chance he wants here. If he can beat out Huber and Began. he will certain ly be entitled to the shortstop's job. Tor there are two live youngsters working for that berth. And Demont will be handy in case Gus Dundon doesn't come around like Manager Frank expects.
 The hatchet is buried. If Demont has some of his old-time form left he may be factor in the Pelicans' flag winning.
