OF Course Had To Be Bzzy"Bg League" Written All
PREDICTED DRAFT OF R BISLAND WELL DESERVED

I OOKING at it that way what
- would you think of a ball club
management that would craftily seek
TO hold a great player in a minor
league, when he had the chance to
play on any one of a dozen big league
clubs?
Exactly, Our idea, to a dot,
IF we had to make any criticism Of
the Atlanta management in the
handling Of the Bisland matter, it
would be for the reason that only the
meager draft price was realized for
one of the greatest minor league
shortstops to go up in recent years.
Corridor went from Kansas CITY.
and Tebeau got Del Drake and Tex
Covington and Title" Walker for
him-the latter by the way, being
good enough TO go up this year in a
whaling big trade with the Reds
And Corridor never saw the day he
looked as good as Rivington Bialand
has been looking the last two months.
1T does seem the Atlanta club should
l have been able to get neat trade
In players, with maybe some money

The Atlanta club, bound by its SAL

celebrated prep school halfback, will
be declared ineligible to play with

merely the draft price
Certainly the drafting process
showed Bizzy was in demand in many
quarters.
RUT let's let that cover" thing die
out naturally.
It's an idea unworthy of Bisland's
value, and unworthy Of the Atlanta

which attitude has been uniformly

Charley White Stops Sheridan

Sheridan 1876 when the battle began.
Cool and collected, White spent the
first three minutes judging his OPP
ponent. Then scarcely had the sec
ond round opened when he whirled
Sheridan around and sent in the left
White to-day is the best boy at his
weight, and if he doesn't best the
champion when they meet, I'm ready
to buy the drinks.
Charley comes mighty near being a
second Joe Cans and the only regret

is too big for him. Those Of us who
have watched White and Packey in
gym work are free to admit that in

generalship. the little Hebrew has it
on the Irishman. He sure has it on
him in the kick and by big margin.
If Richie gets here for an October
match, he can get it without trouble.

This is the fourth promotion for Mr..

what will come to young man who

plies himself with those talents.
When he entered the consular service
in 1910 Mr.. Dreier was assigned to the
consulate at Guayaquil, Ecuador, and
from there he went on special mission
to Lima, Peru. Some months ago he
was sent to Panama and now he has
been promoted to Singapore, one Of the
most desirable posts in the entire serV-
ice. ..-
Mr.. Dreier will leave Washington the
latter part of this week for Muscatine
where he will spend two weeks or so
with his friends and relatives. Return

tions, he will sail shortly after from

trip through Europe visiting all OF the
