leagues and better than many ma

the best. It gave the fans a good

put the running of the club in the
hands of men who were competent
and enthusiastic fans as well. 1t
has taken its gains without com
ment and its losses (and they have
had some stunners) the same way.
The big advantage of having the
Atlanta franchise owned by a big
corporation is that Atlanta has
been relieved of all the unsavory
advertising that comes when a ball
club is always on the point of quit
ting. There has never once been q
yell from the owners of the Atlanta
franchise.
OF course. this is the unpopular
attitude for one to take. The fans
aren't happy unless somebody is
knocking the ball club and the as
sociation that owns il, And in our
day we've done our share We
cherish the notion. however. that if
the local club changes hands, times
will come in the future when local
fans will look back at the good old
days.

Baseball association has plenty of
money to spend for ball players

a diamond provcrb For instance,
witness the yarn from Nashville
that Hemphll is going to Quit, the
fake from New Orleans that the
Cracker team is torn by internal
riots and the tip from Nashville
that Charley Frank is out to buy

The talk about Hemphill was too

THAT internal dissension" story
