about the removal of the franchise

have been made but have been kept
on the quiet to preserve the dignity
of the Southern league and to prevent
absurd chatter.
Montgomery is a plucky town. In

large percentage of negroes, the capt.

nanclal results. Few towns with the
small white population of Montgomery

Billikens must fight for the bunting.

BridweI and Jack Barry. the Athletic
shOrtfelder, are pair of shining eX-
amples. Fred can strike out all he
wishes with the bases empty if he will
only deliver when there is mate
aboard.
By the end of the season there
will be no doubt about Williams. He
will either have faded, or the left field
problem will be definitely settled for
the Cubs next year, and settled right.
And we're almighty optimistic about
Cy's ability to come through.
If Red Doom had his entire ball
team imbued with the fighting spirit
of Otto Knabe and Hans Lobert he
would be closer on the heels of the
Giants. Bill Killifer also has a surplus
Of pep, as he showed yesterday when
Hank O'Day canned him out of the
game for kicking on ball and strike
decisions.
But the zip is lacking among some
members of the drab-sUited crew.
Witness the performance of Dode
Paskert in the third inning of Thurs
days game. SeatOn had walked when
Paskert popped a little fly to the
pitchers box. It looked like a sure
out, so Paskert practically halted
half way to first. But the Cubs got
mixed, and the ball hit the ground
near the slab. Stack picked it up and
hurled Paskert out to Safer. If Pas
kert had run that ball out he would
have been credited with a hit and
Seaton would have reached third
base. This would have brought Otto
Knabe to bat with two on, and the
German second baseman was the one
Phil who was finding Stack soft. No.
tice the possibilities? Paskert crab
bed the whole show by dogging on
the pop up. Not once in twenty times
would the ball have fallen safe, but

the advantage Of that one time is not

lad, who was celebrating his second
debut with the Cubs. He looked
mighty good. One game is not
enough to judge any man on, so we
are not toUting Eddie as a second
MathewsOn or Brown. But right now,
he is in strong.
In regard to Cy Williams, the same
qualifying remarks are made. Long
Fred has been whaling the ball at
terrific clip, getting 10 hits in Is
times at bat since he has been in
jected into the game regularly. In
Guided in the wallops were couple
of foUr-base knocks and triple.
Final judgment cannot be passed
on a batter as the result Of a few
games. In the same way that Larry
Chappen is not being branded a
lemon on a few games, Williams can
not be marked a Iris Speaker. Aft
er Williams has gone against every
team in the league and the pitchers
have had a chance to study his weak
nesses, if he has any, and most clout-
ers have, we will have a real line on
him. Many men have busted into the
league and careened along for a few
games, only to fade miserably after
their style had been studied. Kom-
mers of Pittsburgh is the latest exam
pie.
.. 1t can be said for Williams, how
ever, that he looks like a young man
who can hit. Of course, no one be-
lieYes he will continue at his present
clip, but he appears to be a natural
occupant of the 800 circle. He has
an easy swing at bat and picks out
the good ones to offer at. He was
famed twice yesterday, offering at
the third one. On each occasion
low curve fooled him. But just no
tice that there were no pals on base
when Cy whitfield. With Safer on first
in the second inning he whaIed
