Likewise a pool that fur
nishes couple of four pound
trout is pretty good pool to go
back and fish over again.
What has this to do with South
ern league outfelders in the big
league?
Just this: That the major league
fishermen, which are scouts, have
landed a slather of good outiielders
from the Southern league. And
wear after year these same scouts
come back. hungry for more,
Iris Speaker came from the
Southern league,
SO did Joe Jackson.
Also Dode PaslSert.
Likewise Zack Wheat
So did Beals Becker. though it's
nothing to be particularly proud OF.
Not TO mention Hahn, Oldring
and a lot of others,
Also, in a perfectly illogical way,
the Southern league shines with
little of the reflected glory Of such
men as Cobb. Milan. Cakes, who
were born in the South. even II
they never did honor the Southern
by their efforts.
So naturally. when a big league
owner or manager needs man to
play the outfield he thinks of the
south. And forthwith a scout
grabs the l.. & \. or the southern
or the l. c.. or some such line and
burns It southwark.
OF a considerable batch Of out
~ aelders who were sold to big
league clubs by the Southern. or
drafted from the Southern, only six
are still the property Of big league
clubs
These six are Welchonce, Jim
Johnston, Jack Johnson, Jacobson,
Walker and Stengle.
How many of these win still be
up there" October l?
IN the opening article OF this
series the case of Baby Doll

Finn sold him to the Giants and
McGraw will take him to Marlin in
The spring
The prediction was made that he
would shine in practice, but the
doubt raised as to his ability to
keep shedding the kind of rays that
dazzle the eyes of a hardened old
sinner like John McGraw, who has
sorted through a couple of thou
sand recruits in his day and chron-
icsIy wears smoked glasses.

Of All the 0utfielders Sent Up
By Southern Last Fall Only
J Have Real Chance to Stick
These Are the Outfielders Who May Make Good

ed to 1858 at the end Of the season.
That's no very bad mark, but If he
hit that against Southern league
pitchers, what will he do against
the foxier and more efficient per
formers Of the National league?
Mark this: If Jacobson can learn
to hit curved ball he will make a
great major league outfielder. He
is young. He can't be over %. and
perhaps is less. He may get the
knack, though the ability to hit a
curved ball seldom comes other
wise than naturally.
Jacobson is a good fielder. He
doesn't look 1t, because he is big
and gangly. But in an elephan-
tine sort of way he covers a lot of
ground.
One thing that will work against
Jacobson with the Giants is that
he Is not a good man on the bases.
He stole only is bases last year.
And you know what a hug McGraw
is about speed. An outfielder who
can't steal 80 bases doesn't look like
much outfelder to him.
Our private bunch is that jacob
son viii hardly last through the
training season with the Giants.
Then McGraw viii turn him back,
perhaps to Mobile, perhaps to some
International league club, where he
will be a good man. Then, if in
another year or so he learns to
run bases and to swing efficiently
at curved ball. he may make
real Giant Anyhow, he has the size
to play the role

His record is fine. He is a grace

ing You in advance, LULU X.
To bleach the hair is foolish and
decidedly injurious, for breakage and
drying usually follow. l have never
seen bleached head yet that did not
shout its origin. One can always tell
a chemical blonde block away. 1
would advise you to be satisfied with
your red locks, which most folks con-
slider beautiful. just now red hair is
fashionable. Does that comfort you?
Do not wet the head every day with
salt or fresh water. A monthly
shampoo, with nightly brushing and
massaging, will keep the hair in good
condition.
