Bill Smith May Take Crackers to Cuba Next Fall
VIII Make Trip if Team Finishes Near the Top

ONE Of Atlanta's distinguished,
albeit distinctly duslly, base
bah citizens is going to Cuba this
winter. His name is Redding, or
something Of that sort, but to At
lanta baseball fans he is known as
"Spaniard."
"Spaniard" turned up at the ball
park a few years ago, then a skin
ny, long ARMED young buck, and
wanted any job. lie was Wild about
baseball and gradually edged into
the job of pitching to the batters
in batting practice. Finally he was
hired for that work alone, receiving
the muniicent sum OF so cents
game. Now "Spaniard' is draw
ing 200 n month all summer with
the Lincoln Giants and this win
ter he is to go to Cuba. with all
expenses paid for himself and his
wife, and a nice salary to boot.
"Spaniard" was a great favorite
with the Atlanta players during his
term of service, for he "had lot
of stuff, but with it such good
control that the batters felt no fear

directors believe it might not be q

Some of the big league clubs have
taken this step and they believe
