II WITH HE SOh1DEC
 Nashville Banner: Every man individ-
 uany and collectively is playing ball for
 Biu Schwartz now. Bill has the good
 will of the bunch; they are willing 10 abide by his decisions. and they do their best 10 win the games. Bill himself IS capable leader, for he plays the game in ianf ID style, which incites the men to ao sbeit best all the time. When a player gets to loafing on the Job Bill sees to it that he immediately gets some pep into him. aRd that's the secret of the success ' hich the team has been having.
 Nashville Banner: Having once got started on a winning streak, it looks al- most impossible to stop these Volunteers of Manager Schwartz; and with Mobile on tap for three games, Nashville ought to take second place away from Mont gomery before the series is over. And if they do-then it's going to be New Or leans next
 Atlanta Journal. This chap Walter Miller has about all that is necessary to make a star twirler and he should go higher and prove star of the first water"
 Such was the opinion of Scout Con stroUthers, the White sox sleuth, upon witnessing Miller in action in a couple of games during his recent stay in Atlanta Joking over promising young material for the Chicago club for next season.
 Montgomery Journal: Are the Bllllkens ,on the verge of & preepiee? The coming weeks work will discover one of the two things. Have the Billikens gone back, or have Memphis and Nashville strengthened?
 Memphis News-Seimitar After making a brilliant showing last week and com ing within half game of the first-division berth, Bernhard's men are like blooded thoroughbreds at the post, waiting for the barrier to be raised. They want to get at the Barons, who are now here for series starting tomorrow. The Chicks, in tbeir crippled condition, however. can well afford a rest, their past perform ances of late notwithstanding.
 Nashville Tennessean: Six straight wins is Atchison's record since debutting iato the Southern league. If Nashville had only had him sooner. New Orleans and Montgomery wouldn't have been in inc running.
 Exchange: Two New York friends of certain St Louis athlete dropped by the Cardinals hotel a night or two back
 We've got the stuff fixed up for big Ii ieht tonight and we've come by to get you," they remarked to the ball player. "Can you get away now?"
 T can like - was the Cardinals comeback Nothing doing. On the level, I believe that if any member of this club failed to show up by F o'clock in good condition, Bresnahan would knock his book off. I wouldn't be surprised if l he kiilea him. And if there was anything l left the rest of the bunch would finish out the job. This guy here believes he i is soiB9 to win the pennant, and he be- 1 iepes it so strongly that he has the rest of the club figuring the same way. A big night tonight? Wait till we cop that
 worlds series, and then maybe I'll cut
 in witl. you if Bresnahan doesn't start us iE training again for next spring"
 Manager swacina, as usual, was re- sponsihle for the only runs the Gulls tailed Mobile scored two runs in the sixth, and Swats drove tlfem home with l a dul.hle. Maag and Bayless had gotten ol with a base on balls and hit, respee- tjyeiy, and after Miller advanced them with 8. sacrifice Swats produced the old plach wallop, a screaming double to right 1 feld cn which both runners rode home. But Swats couldn't come up in every pinch. and consequently there was no fur ther scoring.
 Jack Reidy, who couldn't see em in tn:s league, heads the batting list of the Macon team, and is doing more than his part in keeping his club we'll up in the standing.
 Atlanta Georgia: This Pelican team, TOW in our papitating midst, is a league leader by grace of help from the major leagues Charley Frank, by one method ard another (mostly the latter), has sewed up several big league clubs, and by their help he can get a pennant winner almost any old year he wants one. Like a wise manager there are years when he docs not want one. But when he does, he usually cops.
 Th's situation could be relieved, tenn pora1jlY at least, by passing a rule that nc man who had played or even tried out in tl,e major league should eyer be all lowed tss play on a Southern league team Right here Charley Franks big league affiliations would be pretty badly crimped, and he would be put back on an even l basis with the other moguls. Also, we could all afford to let him dodge the salary limit all he wanted In i fact, under the proposed scheme there Wouldl.'t be any limit or any need for ore The big league players are the men
 who make limit-dodging an absolute ne-
 oes aity.
