ing out. the club was, therefore.
one of more than usual arduous
ness.
But when il came to deciding on
his shortstop, Bill had a job that
would have baked even the
doughty Solomon. There were two
men out for the place. The first
was Lou Castro, veteran of thou
sand stricken fields, fresh from a
dazzling year with Birmingham.
The champions of that season. and
the prize, comedian Of the South
eln league.
The other was Neal Ball. fresh
from the bushes, unheard of. un-
heralded, but who looked wonder
in spring Practice.
Atlanta fans had pretty we'll de-
cided that Lou was entitled to the
place and all the honors and emol-
uments that went Herewith. Lou
entered the Southern league two
years before with Nashville, ano
when Dixie saw him perform it
wondered how he had escaped from
the big show. He had PLAYED brill
Iiantly with Nashville He had
followed suit with Birmingham.
He was expected to repeat with
Atlanta And then there was the
prestige of his having been with
the Athletics when they we're
champions of the American league.

on the other hand. Ball was
slight and retiring. He did not
look big enough to hit, though his
preseason fielding was a revela-
ton.
Smiths judgment was Atlanta's
judgment. Castro was kept and
Ball was thought so little of that
he was practically given to the
Montgomery club. From that time
on Neal was thorn in Billy's side.
He not only continued his bril-
liant fielding, but heihit like fiend.
Before the season was half over, il
was known that Ball would go to
the majors 1t was known that
Castro would never be with the
Atlanta club another year.
Ball Showed Flashes Only.
Ball though, never attained ma
!
brilliancy kept him with the Yam
KEGS for a couple of seasons. Then
he was shipped to Cleveland. He
was about ready for the sack in
Napland when he made his famous
unassisted triple play. Again he
was on the rocks and had been
shipped TO the Pacific coast when
an injury to Lajoie necessitated his
recall. He was finally traded to
Boston and got his $4,000 world Sc
ries money for going to the bat
once and fouiing, or tanning, or
popping or something.
And where is Castro? Why, you
had just as well ask where's jim
Woodward ?" He's in Atlanta, of
course, for the, winter, but each

some of the better bush organiza-
tions.

LARGE ATTENDANCE
 AT SUNDAY SERVICE

There was an excellent cOngrc- gaiiOn al the church last evening. Rev. Johnson delivered an inter- cSiing sermon from the words. "ls Thine Heart Right ?"--II. Kings X:f5. fIr drew an analogy between inc relationship of the heart to inc physical and spirit ual life, pointing out the fact that it was the governing principle of life, and therefore of all import = ancc to have heart right what the heart was physically the health of the body was. It was a true indicator. What the heart was spiritually and morally so the life was. He used many per sonal experiences n hospital work which clearly illustrated the truths he sought iO impart. Referring to the inability of med ical science io cure heart disease anh how he had often known of cases where life could have been saved by an operation, but the heart was loo weak. No human agency can cure the heart that is morally wrong, only the Giver of life could change tho heart, and He had made provision so to do-- tO impart new life, new mo- tive and so making the conduct and character good bccausc of a heart made right in the highest sense.
 The story of the power of a wOman's influence for good or bad from the circumstances of the text was ably portrayed. The congregation listened attentively and seemed deeply impressed. The singing was much improved by the aid of the new choir re- gently organized.
