slim" Childs was a little, fat
man with a face as red as any bull
teaser could have desired.
Childs would have looked just as
natural as life with a white apron
and jacket behind bar, but it was
difficult to conceive how he could
carry his avoirdupois over a ball lot
with enough speed to intercept a
ball going at even a rate as slow
as the coming of reward for De-
mocracy's patriots.
His every appearance on the field
was the signal for the wit Of the
faithful to be exercised to a de-
gree. A fat man named Clarence
has a fat chance on the ball lot.

But Childs' fat was deceiving.
There was a lot of strength in his
lumpy form. He could move as
fast as the most sinuous athlete
and knew more about inheld play

AL BRiDWELL COMING
SOUTH FOR LONG HUNT

BOSTON Nov. 11.--M Bridwell is
going South for months hunting,
probably on and near the farm of Hub
Perdue, at Gallatin. Tenn.
Bird is in better shape than he has
been in a couple of years. His injured
foot, which kept him out of the game
for long time last season, is COM
pletely healed. and he will be ready for
a big season IN 1919.
Bird Is delighted with tine choice of
George Stallings as manager of the
Boston club and looks for him to build
up a winning aggregation in time. The
trip to the South will bring Bridwell
into familiar territory, for he used to
play in the Southern league.
