NASHVILLE BALL CLUB PICKS UP SOME VETERANS

member of the scrappy Vernon
club.
Bair will occupy the rifle pit in
Vernon uniform likewise, going to
the coast town in a deal whereby
Nashville secures a former South
crn league star. Roy Castleton.
Roy has been a great gun in Cal
ifornia, but last year found him
slowing up and ii was his belief
that a change Of scenery would do
him lots of good, and while this
brilliant idea was finding Iodg-
ment in his brain, his boss con-
ceived the clever stunt of dumping
friend Roy right down in the Vol
unteers ball park
But Esquire Hirsig is pretty
fair sort of trader himself and the
wicked old man fixed it up so the
Union Pacific railroad will arrange
to haul Mr.. Bair all the way to
Vernon whenever he cares to go.
The only possible way that the
Vernon club can come out at the
long end of thiS deal is for Castle
ton to fan off the train and die on
the desert sands of thirst before he
reaches Nashville, for r. Bair
achieved the splendid feat of losing
23 Count 'em) games last season.
and that is difficult record to tie.

The s. V. ID. team won its seventh

three fields goals and two foul goals in

Company c scored 5$ points against
the Baracas last night. setting a rec
ord for the season in the Fulton league.

CONTRACTS SENT TO17
MEMPHIS BALL PLAYERS

MEMPHIS, TENN, Jan. 3O.-Con-
tracts have been sent out to seventeen
prospective members of the 1918 Tur-
tie team by Manager Bernhard. This
was done in accordance with a new
ruling enacted by the national asso-
citation last fall, which requires that
contracts be forwarded to players by
February / instead Of March !, as has
been the custom for some several
years. There are q players on the To-
cal roster. but four of this number have
already agreed to terms. They are
Pitchers Needles, Freeman, Schneiberg
and Merritt.
Players to whom the required papers
were sent are: Pitchers Ferguson, Mer-
rift, Kissinger Parsons. Newton. Way
mack and Green, Infielders Abstein
Moulton, Oriet Bales and Netzel, Out
tielders SchweitZer, McCrone. BaeTwald
and Kerr. and Catcher Seabough. 1t
will be noticed that Players Kerr and
NetZel were honored with contracts in
spite of previous announcements to the
effect that neither would be returned.
March 10 is reporting day.

NJ ASHVILLE. TENN. Jan. so.
Pitcher Doc Moskiman, who
last season smashed all
long distance jumping records by
leaping back among the outlaws on
the coast, from whence he had early
in the season been secured by
Louisville, will be among the gun
ners employed by Manager
Schwartz this season. He has been
sold to Nashville by Louisville to-
gether with Catcher Bill Ludwig.
Moskiman is rated as a high
class finger. although his record
with Louisville was not so good.
He won five games and had the
short end of SIX. He has, it is
claimed. a good change of pace and
sweeping curves, and President Hir-
sig believes that he has made a ten
strike.
The new owners of the Louis
vile club have decided that the
team needs new blood from start to
finish and are disposing of all the
f'i'tS SAS vi bIl0 NIub l6Sti We llSl
and accepting most any old price
offered. Nashville was offered
Moskiman for $500 and choice of
the three catchers, selecting Lud-
wig, for which it was necessary to
kick in with $500 more.
Ludwig is an olG-t in the
Southern, having worked behind
the bat for both Memphis and Mo-
bile. His noodle is full of good,
gray matter, but his feet are equal
ly as full Of sinkers, so that his
time for a circuit of the bases is
about So minutes That is, if the
grounds are not wet
Never, likewise. has Bill ever
crowded Hans Wagner for premier
batting honors, but his experience
will be much in his favor and may
be he may even exceed his great

But this season-wHl be THIS
season and the hospital corps will
be handed one below the belt inso-
far as being kept on the pay roll
while occupying cot in the in
jured ward is concerned.
All contracts sent out to future
Volunteers will contain the dis
ability clause. which only allows
the wounded hero one months full
pay, after which he becomes auto
matiCaUy suspended. President
Hirsig thinks that this plan will
safeguard the club against handing
full salary, as per contract, to any
player who might have the misfor-
tune to be injured early in the race,
For the first two weeks after in
jury the player is to receive full
salary; for the second two weeks
half salary and after that he will
be placed on the suspension list.
1t is not thought that this clause
will arouse any great protest from
players nor is it considered in the
light of a hardship upon them. for
the club will take care of all the
injured for a period of 80 days, and
if he doesn't join the convalescents
within that time it isn't very likely
that he will be of much use to the
club for the remainder of the sea-
son.
