~ Winters, Paskert

We're wonders. A better fielding
outfit would be hard to find. But
they were no terrors with the stick.
Paskert batted .2S9, Becker .265 and
winters .264.
Two years later Winters still
stuck, but his batting had fallen to

games,
The 1918 outfield should be
stronger in hitting, especially if
either Welchonce or Kirke is Sc
cured. Bailey is slugger. Gala

though light hitters.
n the matter of pitchers--and
that's the critical matter with

But let's look over the two teams
that he won pennants with and
compare them with the club that
Wlll represent Atlanta this year.
OF course, 1t is difficult, because
we don't know yet just what men
will play for Bill Smith this year.
There Is chance that Welch6nce

that il Smith. Dobard and Keatine =
do not measure up To the standard
Smith viii pick up a couple Of in
iielders that DO. There is also the
certainty that more pitchers will
be bought if they are needed.
But let's look over the Cracker,
teams of 1907, 1909 and compare
them with that of 1918 as it stands
today:
CATCHING STAFF S.-Wen.
there isn't much chance that the
backstops OF this year will measure
up to those which helped the
Crackers win their only pennants.
Sid smith and Ed Sweeney com
posed that of 1907; Sid Smith and
McMurray that of 1909. At that,
though, Sid Smith caught hut lit
tie in 1909 and figured more prom
inentiy as first baseman and util-
ity man. Now. Sid was better than
McAflister, Dunn OF Malcomson.
But both McAnister and Dunn are
better than McMuuay II seems
likely that unless AIalcomsou
shows a lot Dunn and McAllistoI
will be retained. This will give tho
Crackers Il catching staff that will
be long on brains and short on
speed At best. it win be weaker
than that Of 1907 and 1909.
FIRST pASE,-Fox in 1907. Rohn
and Sid Smith in 1909. Joe Agler
in 1913. Think it over. Person
ally, we like Joe Agler the hest.
Fox was a grand first baseman, but
he batted way under $50 in 1907.
The team of this year will have II

Committee He Paid Less
Than $500 for Them.

Washington, January 22.-Charles
p J Mooney. editor of the Memphis
Commercial Appeal. and formerly man
aging editor of the New York American
told the Senate Campaign Fund lnves-
tigating Committee to-day about Sc
curing copies of some of the Standard
Oil letters published by William X
Hearst.
Mr.. Mooney testified he negotiated
for copies of only few of the Archbold
letters: that they were brought TO the
American offices by a white man. whose
name he did not know, and that he
paid less than $500
IT believed that with letters contain
nematters of this sort it was some one
duty 10 make them public. They
showed that senators and representa-
tivee sworn TO protect the public inter
ests were committing treason against
The neopIe." Mr.. Mooney told the
com nittee.
Made Photographic Copies.
He testified that when he became
managing editor of the New York Amer
lean in 1904. John Eddy, previously city
editor. turned over to him number OF
PHOTOGRAPHIC copies of Standard on
correspondence with public men AS
70 how those were obtained Mr.. Mooney
could give no information Later
man he could not name offered him more
letters and wanted MT. Mooney 10 guy
them. assuring him he had come oy
them honestly" Mr.. Mooney made
some Photographic copies.
Il was later assured by counsel
said Mr. Mooney. that 1t would nave
been entirely proper for me 20 buy
original letters containing matter q
such a criminal character. l did not
want them. however. and | did not
care to have them remain in my pos
session or in the papers possession
Did Not See Letter Books.
Mr.. Mooney denied the statement
in an affidavit by Charles stump
presented to the committee last week.
that Mr. Cham berlain and MT
Mooney" had inspected letter books
taken from the Standard Oil offices
He said he never saw any such books
and that he never had negotiated with
Mr.. Chamberlain for any letters lie
added further that he never mad talked
with Mr.. Hearst about the cores
pondence. and never had bought any
of the originals
Mr.. Mooney branded the statement
that sS4 600 was paid for copies OF the
STANDARD Oil letters as AN absurdIty
When asked for his judgment as 70
the statement that 81 800 was paid. MT-
Mooney replied that from a news
point of view that price would not
have been excessive.
The committee took an INDEFINITE
