SELMA CLUB CHANGES HANDS

Selma, July ESPECIALLY Papers trans
ferring the Selma franchise in the South
eastern league will probably be filed for
record with the probate judge of Dallas
county Monday. BY that day it is be-
leved that all of the arrangements for
the club being taken over by stock
company will have been formed.
The formation of this stock company has
been under way for several days past,
and practically all of the stock has been
subscribed for. All of the stock is being
taken in small blocks, and after the for
nation of the company and the transfer
of the franchise there is no doubt but the
club will be on a better financial footing
than any club in the circuit.
With the formation of the new company
and the transfer of the franchise no

tain his berth as manager as he has
given the Selma fans a winning club AND
good baseball all during the season with
the exception of the slump after the win

The remaining members of the club will
also be retained and Selma6 will play the
remainder of the season and the club Will
be continued In this city as long as the

Selma is one of the best cities in the cir

PROUGH is THE ONLY PITCHER
BELOW 500 MARk-BOYD HAS
WON MORE GAMES AND LEADS
THE STAFF

There is but one Baron twirler who is
below the 500 mark in pitching average.
Boyd is leading the twirlers with per
oentage of .7G2, while Prough is on the
bottom with percentage of .467. Willie
Prough is the only slab artist who IS
below the 800 mark and he will not be
there long All the other four twirlers
are far above the 800 mark and seem
to be destined to remain there.
Boyd has won more games than any
other pitcher. The damp-sling artist has
annexed a total of 10 games: Foxen fol-
lows with H. while Hardgrove is third
with 10 victories. Although Bill Foxen
has a splendid average he has lost more
games than any other Baron pitcher.
having been defeated six games since the
season opened.
There is not a single pitcher on the
roster who has not been taken from the
box. Boyd holds the strike-out record
for the quintet, but he has participated
in more games than any other man.
Foxen has allowed more bases on balls.
l while Boyd has hit more batsmen.
The Barons twirling staff has the repu-
tatlon of being the strongest set of pitch
ers in the league. Boyd IS leading the
league while the others are following
closely. 1t is needless to say that at
least two of this number will be given a
chance in the big league next season. l.
is extremely probable that Boyd will be
sold to the majors, while president Baugh
