ZOE BEAN. the popular athletic
trainer at the Atlanta Ath-
Ietic club and Marist college,
is likely to be an umpire in the
southern league before the 1918
schedule of games Is completed.
President Kavanaugh has com
alated his list of officials for the
coming season, but IT is almost
dead cinch that one or more of them
will fall by the wayside before the
entire set of games have been de-
.ided. And should a change be
made Bean is sure to land berth.
Kavanaugh has been asked by
Mike Finn and others to give Bean
chance, and the worthy leader Of
the southern league has practical
" promised to give Joseph a job in
..ase he can ever make room" for
him.
Atlanta fans would sure like to
see Bean get a chance as indicator
holder in this circuit. There is no
more popular man in this neck of
the woods and none who has bet
Ter knowledge OF the national pas
time.
During the summer months Bean
has a heap of idle time on his
hands. and umpiring in the South
ern league would be just that much
extra money to him.
Presidents of all leagues are try
ing 10 work in old time ball play
rrs as officials, as they realize an
sx-performer possesses all the quail
tiles needed for such position.
Here's hoping Joe lands.

over.
