FORD-SWEENEY
BATTERY NOW
GOING STRONG
By Percy H. Whiting.
A TLANTA's most famous battery

~ Russ Ford and Ed Sweeney
is coming TO life. It's high
time, of course, and all that. But
then they have-and 1t was consid-
cradle of a feat with a club as de-
moralized and all but deCompOsed as
the New York Americans.
Russ Ford, unless he manages to
kick off a game before this gets into
type, has Ave straight victories to his
credit He won his last victory off the
redoubtable Red Sox.
II is suspected that Frank Chance
is just the kind of man TO get the
most out of Russ Ford. The eX-
Cracker is absolutely the best fellow
in the woTld-but he is not prone to
tear himself to pieces for lot of men
who are laying down. If the club -
going good, Russ is going good. II
not, not
Frank Chance expects every man
to do his best. And he would never
forgive one man for not doing MS
best because the other members of the
team were doing their worst.
Chance undoubtedly hurled fright
into Ford by his threats TO clean up
the team. Anyhow, Russ is going as
we'll as he ever did in his life.

Edward Sweeney. who, he says, has

Frank Farrell, the club owner, VINO

Yes and Chance has made a back

one great trouble with the big fell
low. it appears, was that he hesitated
invariably TO take aim before cutting
the ball away Chance got him out OF
this habit with the result that in
the past week only two bases have
been pilfered on him, and he has cut
down some nine or ten foemen.
THE Cracker team still leads the
L Southern League in hitting, but
Mobile is closing in. Also the Crack
ers have slumped to a point where
only the Pelicans separate them from
last place.
Mobiles superiority over the South
ern League teams is shown in a
multitude of ways.
The Gulls are second in team bat
ting and second In team fielding. They
have reached first on bases on balls.
more often than any other team in
the league. They have stolen more
bases. Only one club has struck out
less frequently. No team touches the
Gulls in hits for extra bases.
All in all, it is a great team.
THE team batting table is an in
teresting document The Crack
ers' work is impressive. Birming-
hams weak showing is amazing
Somehow the Barons can't hit.
Here are the team averages

And lastly here's the team fielding
dope. In this connection it is but
fair to say the scoring in Atlanta
is probably a little sitter than in
some other cities and puts the Crack
ers at q disadvantage, as they get 70
games of careful close scoring a year.

Several tSateS-MiliOns of Prop

AS fOrecasted by Fosters Wealth
er Bureau, storm of great severity
has swept over SIX StaleS. The
storm occurred Thursday night. ii
was felt in Shreveport by an exces-
sive rainfall, high winds and the
turning of day almost into night,
when lights We're necessary. The
dead are numbered a hundred with
many injured, some fatally.
The loss of life was the greatest
in Georgia, thirty being dead.
In Tennessee twenty-seven were
killed.
In Alabama the fatalities are COM
puted at seventeen.
In Mississippi three were killed.
In Louisiana eight were killed,
five being members of the Goodman
family who lived near Fisher, and
many injured.
In Texas the report is one killed.

or charge of violation of city or

the scurrilous communication given
the public by Col. C. Harrison Par
ker the president of, the Penetenti-
ary State Board.
Dr. bowling, unlike Col. Parker,
deals with the facts and conditions
which are of the greatest concern to
the public health and no less inn
portant in this connection with the
sanitary requirements enforcible
within the penetentiary at Baton
Rouge and the Angola Farm.
1t is very gratifying to the friends
OF DR.. Bowling and to every citizen
OF the tSate who would safeguard
the State and every community Of
the State against sickness and es-
pecially epidemics to realize that
Dr. Bowling, as a gentleman has
made plain the issue which Col. C.
Harrison Parker attempted to mud
die by an indulgence of high sound
ing epithets which he should have
avoided.
Indeed the ENHANCEMENT of Col. C.
Harrison Parker, president Of the
Penetentiary State Board has be-
come Statewide and it is within the
province Of Governor Hall to direct
an inquiry into this issue.
1t would seem that in all fairness
that Col. C. Harrison Parker should
be removed from his present office.
Unquestionally he has exceeded
himself and it should follow that
when an official has assumed to be
SO great, he should be brought to his
senses by being leveled to the place
OF the ordinary common citizen of
Louisiana.
