They are biil Dyer, who will probably be traded; Moser' the pitcher drafted from Lancaster, Pa, who will probably be sold; Roy Hada- baugh, the pitcher who finished out part of last season in Atlanta; and "Tommy Atkins, who started the season with the Crackers, then went to the South At lantic league and then went home to re- cover from a bad illness. Atkins is the only one of that lot who is at all likely to report Bill Smith may bring him down for a workout and will then pass him on to Jim Fox's Columbus, Ga, team.
 Here are the men from which Bill smith will pick his team of Crackers for the 1909 season:
 McMurray, catcher, Atlanta last year; H. Smith, catcher, with Atlanta last part of 19OS Sugden, catcher, drafted from Vancouver; Wahl, catcher, semi-profes- sional picked up in Springfield.
