low throw after low throw and has saved many an error for the infielders by his clever work. Nor is Zeider weak when 1t comes to taking balls thrown with the runner coming into the base. As a fielder on ground balls he is good and covers a lot of territory in going after fouls.
 Just another of those strange freaks Of the game!
 Here is a man who failed to make good with the fans in his own position and be- comes a hit when he is sent to cover territory with which he was not familiar.
 Hugh Duffey, with all his worries, Is now spared the one that for a long time threatened to make him an old man. Tn the spring Duffey took his band south with two first base recruits in the squad. They were the much-touted "Tex' Jones and the youngster Collins. When the season opened Jones was set to duty at the first sack but soon proved unequal to the task Collins was then given the job. In the beginning he seemed to have the goods and many thought he was sure conner. But he, too, fell by the way side and Zeider has taken his place, and evidently it will be a permanent berth.
 Off the ball field Zeider is a quiet fel- low, living the straight and simple and taboong absolutely the stuff that worked the ruin of Bugs Raymond and "Rube'' Waddel. Once in his uniform, however
 he is vim personifed. Pep would be better nickname for him than "Rollie.'

New York, July 29.-During my recent swing around the circuit of the Amer ican league I saw many things that were of interest, but one of thesmost striking was the way the new recruits of the White Sox looked. It is amazing how this fellow Duffy picks up top-notch youngsters Chicago is enthused over the newcomers, who have been delivering a high grade of ball that has kept the team from fighting with the cellar candidates.
 While much has been said about the prowess of Ping" Bodie, the sensational young outfelder from the Pacific coast, the praises of Rollie Zeider have been left unsung. And, if the performances of one brief week can be counted as any criterion this youth is destined to become one of the greatest fielding first basefnen in the game.
 Tall and 1.-the in build, he is as wiry as a cat and seems to have the makings of a star of the Hal Chase type. He is put up along the lines of the New Yorker and has the same nervous, anxious man. ner of doing things. seeming to want them 10 happen before they do.
 For weeks Zeider was fin bad with the fans who made regular Journeys to the Southside park. He was hooted and

tof the reelection of Manager Moles- worth.
 However, we do believe that if Man. asef Moiesworth finishes his team in the first division he will deserve an lndorsement and in case he finishes sec ond the local association would be ex- ceedlngly foolish to depose him. We would very much dislike to see Bir- mingham Billy Smith" Carlton Moles- worth.
 The sporting department of The Age Herald has never made strenuous effort in behalf of any individual. But | We have thrown ourselves in the way or all movements which, in our opin- ion. were intended to handicap A local team Tn It's efforts to do well, or which, not so intended. would in our opin- ion. have served tho same purpose When the discussion against Moles- worth was invited it appeared to us unwise Any discussion might on gender internal dissention. There had come q crisis in the affairs of the Barons. Any internal dissention devel- oped would have sent the bunch into the depths of the second division. Our efforts were in behalf of Bir- mingham, a great bustling city which deserves to finish high in tho first di- vision, but which could not have done so had not the tide of wrangles and snarls been sbattered at its flood. Manager Molesworth has not been elected for another season. If he is, or is not The Age-Herald will say so-and will so so first, it is probable. Thursday night T. G. Scarborough of the Memphis Commercial-Appe in a telegram to the sporting editor of | The AgeHerald stated that a report had come out of Little Rock to the effect that Manager Molesworth had | been resigned for two years The re- port was published in the Commercial | Appeal Friday morning, in the Atlanta Georgia Friday afternoon, and in the Atlanta constitution Friday morning. The Age-Herald investigated the re- | port Friday and found that in it was no truth. If you see it in The Age Herald 1 it will not be in the shape of spe- cia1 from Little Rock, but will be print | ed as local news-and it will be true.

jeered until Duffy had to yank him out of the lineup. He was called a bonehead, ice wagon and numerous other unpleasant epithets thereafter every time a bug espied his eagle-like countenance adorn- ing the players bench. But one day the Honorable Hughey saw fit to shove the youngster in at first base. howl arose, but Duffy "sat tight" and Zeider played the game. Zowie-a hot one came his way and he turned an impossible un- assisted play. Bingo-another; then a third. The thing was repeated for four innings. The next session Zeider turned inside out to stop a wild throw from one of his tearn-mates across the diamond, and he beat the runner by a slide to first. That day Zeider made good. He is still making good.
 Result: He is now cheered Justify by the Windy City fans every time he steps to the plate.
 Peculiar, isn't it. that a man who was touted as second-baseman and short stop should win his way into the affec- ton of the fans by his play at a position absolutely foreign to him? But that is what Zeder did, and you cant find a White Sox fan who wont tell you that Zeider has played a remarkable fielding game ever since he was transferred to the first bag
 Zeider has pulled some remarkable stuff at the initial cushion. He has scooped

 The charges of Tannehill are equally as serious. the local association be- lieves, as were those of Otis Stockdale. which resulted in the suspension of that pitcher for a couple of seasons. At any rate, the facts in the case will be forwarded to Judge Kavanaugh.

The reacting wave which unjust criti- cism of Manager Molesworth precipitated bringing him q greater popularity than he has ever enjoyed before, is at it's height, and even if the directors have ever had an intention of electing another man as 1912 pilot, it is very probable that such intention will soon be aban- doned.
