COMISKEYM UNJUST
SEND SMITH Or
PRODUCE ALIBI

IF Charles Comiskey does not i'm
medlately kick in with a good
alibi or a promise of a pitcher
the Atlanta Baseball Association will
take up the matter of enforcing
Comiskey's agreement to send Clar-
ence Smith to the Atlanta club.
In this deal Comiskey offered Smith
to Atlanta at a certain price. Presi-
dent Galloway accepted terms. Then
Comiskey backed out stating he had.
decided to keep the man.
Baseball law provides that when
terms are accepted the deal must go
through.
There is not the least doubt but
that the local club can force the
White Sox to produce the player.
President Galloway was not in
clined to push the point, provided
Comiskey would agree to look out
for the local club with some other
player; but he shows no such inclina-
ton. so It is likely that the National
Commission will be requested to de.
eide who owns the player, anyhow.

Wahoo, who was last spring signed

The committee that engineered the

release no effort will be made to
retain him.
This leaves Alex Cunningham the

Cobb is laid up with a fractured knee

The Tigers have been without his
services for nearly two weeks, and
the Detroit magnates are suffering

Hsyry wslchonce. the known

When Harry came to the local club
they touted him as batter-and a
trouble-msker.
Well. he's a batter all right II
he's an anarchist II hasn't cropped

In Nashville they charged him with
playing for his own averages and
letting the team go hang
That he isn't pulling that here is
testified by the noted authority, Cap
tain c. A. Alperman. Says Whitley"
''welchonce is a wonder at doing
what he's told. No matter what the
play is he will go ont and make it
or try like thunder.
Now, we have men on the team,
continued Alperman who can't make
a hit and-run play at all. II wouldn't
be policy TO tell which ones. Then
we have others who will go through
with II ali right II you give them

like Welchonce. who need only tip"

Also. in the eighth with two on
two gone and the score tied, Wei
chonce came up.
"A three agger's what we need"
Bill Smith told him.
So Welchonce went out and hit it,
winning the game b-3 thereby
DILL SMITH seems to have pulled
- one OF his old time trades in get
ting Carl Thompson. He looked
suspiciously like pitcher yesterday
His start was bad. Then he steadied
and after the first inning gave up but
one hit.
His Cracker batting support must
have been a pleasant surprise. for all
this season he has been the victim Of
weak stick support,
There's a fine chance that Joe Dunn
will be the making of Thompson
Joe is just the man to handle his
curves. He knows everything about
the league and "A considerable amount
about pitching He is steady and
dependable He Is tickled TO death
to work with young pitcher and to
show him things
over in Birmingham nobody would
show Thompson anything They
didn't like him and they didn't mind
saying so. over here the team Is
in such dire need Of pitchers that
Thompson will be given every en-
couragement in the world
1T was like old times to see Glen
Liebhardt in the box for Memphis
once again. He hurled some great
games in Atlanta back i'm the days
when Charley Babb managed the
team and had il up in the race. The
man once famous for his ability to
hurl double headers hasn't the same
effectiveness as of old. but he has
learned a lot of baseball and is dan
gerous.
1T was lucky Thompson turned up in
time to work Tuesday. For Smith
was surely shy on hurlers. Conzel-
man was in such bad shape Monday
that he had to retire. Brady is sick
Dent was affected by she heat Mon
day and is still weak Old Gil Price,
