Reinforcing the Yankees, Fred
Maisel, the only $1,000 recruit, en-
tered the game yesterday against ST.
Louis. In the class of Chappelle,
O'Toole, Russell, Blackburne and Mar
Guard, Maisel must perform brilliant
ly to maintain his repute. However
should he follow the usual route of the
high priced players, he will fail. Al
though enormous sums have been paid
for players, the majority have not
starred.
Chappelle, purchased for slS.50c, has
failed to scintillate with the White Sox
Marty OToole, secured for nearly
$4,000, could be purchased for a sum
less than $4,000. Lefty" Russell,
bought by the willy Connie Mack for
$4,000 in 1910, proved a disastrous
bloomer with the Athletics. Two 9TH
ers-Lena Blackburne and Fred Hun
ter, who brought $4,000 from Chicago
and Pittsburg in 1910, failed to uphold
their reputation and were shunted
down TO the minors.
The list of the failures recorded of
the touted phenoms is a long one.
"Rube" Marquard, VINO developed into
q star after two seasons of careful
nursing, stands out as the only re-
cruit who proved the worth of an
Chappelle and Schauer-the three rec
ord priced players, repay the clubs

CEappelle is slowly finding his form
and is batting at better clip. When
he reported to the White Sox he was
rot in condition TO play. Suffering
from an injured groin and a battered
ankle, the Frenchman was not able to
stand the gaff and was relieved. Cal
lahan believes that he will yet prove
a star.
Harry Holland, the new third sacl1er
OF the Crackers, performed in fine fet-
tie for the Atlanta team Yesterday. In
five trips to the plate, Holland reached
first safely. Twice hits allowed him
to gain the sack while an error of

ether three trips. The youngster ap-
peared to be quite heady and good
fielder.
Pitcher voss, who reported to the
Crackers yesterday, will replace South
paw Clark, who was purchased from
Washington. The sidewheeler could
not develop control and was supplant-
ed for this season. However. the pur-
chase of slim Love kept two south
paws on the club. Love may pitch
this afternoon.
Birmingham appears as a pennant
winner one day and taiender the next.
With good pitching the Barons swat
the ball at a merry clip, while the
fielders accord brilliant backing. Yes
terday the Barons did not sparkle in
either department. while the Crackers
had everything.
But for the alternative slumps. Bir-
mingham would be in the lead of the

GddSden Cinches Penndnt
In Close Race Of 6. A. L.

Talladega, August 11.-(Special. with
the Georgia-Alabama league coming to a
close Saturday, 1t is now possible to
place the clubs in the finish. Gadsden
has the pennant cinched, while Newman
viii probably finish second, Admission or
opelika third, LAGRANGE fifth and Talla-
dega sixth. While Gadsden has a nice
lead. the other clubs are we'll punched, and
few wins for any club would cause
change of positions.
The Talladega team, which seems des-
tined to finish in the cellar, has a strong
team for this position. All season the club
has had good individual men. but for some
reason could not win consistently. Two or
three of the cities have lost money, but
the others will about break even. In
TaIladega, LaGrange and Newman the at
tendance has been better than in the
other three.
