TEAM IS

A HURRICANE

MONTGOMERY ALA. June 10
The Montgomery ball club is "all shot
to pieces" For some time it has been
know that McElveen, who was traded
to Atlanta, was a disturbing element
and Manager Dobbs made a ten-strike
here when he palmed off Humpty on
the Crackers.
After McElveen was exchanged it
was thought harmony would be restor-
ed. but again reports are circulated that
there was one man on the team acting
as a stool pigeon" and giving informa-
ton as to the movements of the players
off the field This made matters again
murky in the baseball armament.
More trouble developed when Bill
Stickney secretary of the team, an
nounced that he had enough of the
game here and had decided to retire.
Following this. came the announce
ment that Right Fielder Williams had
jumped the team, after drawing his
pay.
Dobbs will have to get another out
fielder Ashe is in no condition to play
the game. His arm is not in any kind
of shape and anyone hitting the bail
out his way could keep on running. and
Dobbs knows this 1t has been notice
able that there are ciiques on the ball
field. When the men come into the
bench they will separate in groups OF
three ands tours and hold communion

S|TTON DUE To
PITCH TODAY IN
ATTANOOCA

CHATTANOOGA, TENN, June 10,
The Crackers, speeded up to a
point about ten notches above
anything they have attempted yet are
aere today for what will be one of the
toughest series they have ever known.
Both teams are fighting like cornered
rats these days They are both making
wonderful effort to get out Of the
depths They are determined, desper-
ates And they hate each other so bad
1t keeps EN- awake nights Either
manager would give a month off his
life to make a cleanup on this series
1t Is more than likely that Manager
Hemphill will decide to work Vedder
Sitton right back again He had him in
the second game yesterday, but rain
interfered before the contest had gone
far and he seems fit as a fiddle today
Billy Smith is inst about as COM
municative as usu about his prob
able battery performers. but it is
More's turn to pitch, and no doubt he
will be sent in.
"Erroritis,' or Rush of Thumbs 20
the Hands, was the complaint that
dumped the Crackers in the ditch in
Nashville yesterday afternoon. You
might not get it from the box score,
but that's what happened For Tommy
Atkins would never have given up all
those hits if things hadn't been break
ing bad right behind him
For Tommy is one of those tempera-
mental youths. He will take his chance
with the opposition as long as the sup
tpors is going good But when once
team sets out to dub away a game be-
hind Tommy it usually succeeds. For
Tommy doesn't flourish under adver-
sity-though goodness knows he has
had enough of it to begin getting hard
ened.
With the score 10 to, against the
Crackers they made a peach of a rally
in the ninth and managed to pile up
three more runs before they were
closed out
