He Will not be kept here, though but
viii be placed with some other club as
soon as Manager Griffith can arrange
the deal 1t is possible that he will be
sent to Billy Smiths Chattanooga club
OF the Southern League.
At Charlottesville Akers looked like
big league possibility, and on his, first
trials with the Nationals, after the ssa-
son got under way, he seemed Rood
enough for a. youngster. However. ne
Iaaied woetully when sent over the
route ana the Nationals leader decided
right or the reel that he would not
quite do for the local team.
Wnen the opportunity came to obtain

nold his own in the international

There is no denying that Dan Moeller
braces the Climbers. With this speed
merchant on the base lines the rest of
the team seem to take hold of their
wagon tongues with greater effective
ness. Moeller can always be depended
upon to get all there Is to be got out of

Is the best run-getter with the club.
