" OUR attention Is called tli5
morning to the following bit
Il of humor which recently ap-
peared In The Mobil Register:
And the way the Gulls are GO
ing is causing some awful howls all
over the league. Sport writer's can't
see how their clubs stand a chance
If somebody don't head the Gnlls, and
while all are forced TO admit that
Mike Finn has a wonderful club
they're all crying Stop those Gulls,
as the following written by Hugh
Roberts in the Birmingham Age
Herald will show:
lone month and one day of the sea-
son has been packed away and the
Mobile club has one awful lead on the
field
Don't worry SO. Hugh. old scout,
the Barons may catch us-that is, If
all our pitchers develop bad arms.
IL Robby, Jake, Starr. Paulet and
few others break legs and the rest
jump the team. Otherwise your
Barons are doomed to finish at least
one notch lower than they did last
season."
In our brief career we have done
many reprehensible things, but have
never committed as grave crime as
the foregoing would indicate. Had
we written the above lines. we would
hasten with our resignation in the
hope that 1t would out run the harsh
demand that we retire.
We did express the hope that the
day would soon come when the Barons
would meet the Gulls. But we said
nothing akin to that reproduced, and
never will. AMI what is more, the
local scribe who did write the para
graph shown above. will scarcely have
the temerity to come forth with the
assertion that the child is his.
However, we are glad that we will
at last clash with the Gulls. If We
have been correctly informed, they
have encountered already several of
the clubs of the league, and have.
without exception wiped them off the
face of the earth. But the Gulls will
find their masters in the bold Barons
how bold and how battle scarredi 1t
would scarcely cause surprise were we
to take every game of the series.
There is no question but that we
could If we wanted to. But Manager
