GOULD MENEFEE OFF FOR
THE SOUTHERN LEAGUE
Left Washington Yesterday for Chattanooga, Where
He Takes His First Step Toward the Majors
By c. w. SWAN.

Gould Menefee left on the Birmingham
special yesterday for Birmingham, Ala.
where he will take UP his duties as the
regular receiver on the Chattanooga club
in the Southern League.
Menefee is confident OF making good
, in the fast company that he is in now,
and from the showing he made while a
member of the Augusta team in the South
Atlantic League should more than hold
his own.
The Chattanooga papers speak highly
Of Menefee. and expect great things from
the former Central High and Georgetown
star. The Chattanooga Times has the
following to say regarding Menefee:
'Menefee has been burning them some
in the Sally. He has caught seventeen
games. He has been at bat fifty-eight
times, and drove out twenty-six hits, thus
amassing an average of AS. He has
made one error in ninety chances. He
has been out but one year. He made a
splendid record in fielding with Augusta
last season, but didn't hit very hard. He
is noted for his deadly whip. Just out
of college and ambitious, he comes with
every promise of making a valuable man
to have on the club.
''Lafitte goes to Augusta as part pay
ment for Menefee 1t is understood that
he is sold for 500. practically. Menefee
being purchased for $1,000, $500 in cash
and Lafitte
"Menefee may reach New Orleans in
time for to-days game. II he can play
better battle will be assured the mat
inee bugs. Otherwise. Higgins will come
in behind the bat and Carmichael go to
right field"
ALI his friends are pulling hard for
Gould. and before long they expect to
see him in the big show.
Manager Wilkinson. of the st. Martins
team. in the Independence League. in
tends to leave no stone unturned to land
the pennant for his team. Gill Cassidy,
the diminutive captain and third sacker
Of the fast Ingram team. in the Sunday
School League, has signed with the
Churchmen and not with the Shamrocks,
as was reported last week. Little
Broome is another Sunday School League
star who will be seen in st. Martins
lineup the next time they play. At pres
ent Broome is holding down the second
sack for the Ninth Street Christians,
and while he has not struck his stride
in the hitting line, great things are ex-
pected of him when his lamps get work.
ing right.
Many Of the amateur clubs are
strengthening a great deal, and by the
end of the week better games are prom
ised in most Of the circuits. In the Mar
ouette League good twirlers are being
signed by almost every team, and then
the double-figure scores will stop. As
II is, II a team does not gather Is or %
runs they are not playing good ball.
