is the logic of the fans.
Birmingham made an effort to Oh
tain Smith earlier in the season. The
White Sox were willing to part with
Smith If Molesworth would plank
down $3.50, agree to take the young
ster on an optional agreement and
tender him to Chicago at any stage Of
the season within 10 days notice. Such
a proposition was not favorable, for
should Smith win with his remarkable
consistency the White SoX could recall
him, although Birmingham WAS fight

Johnny Dobbs is disheartened by the

they are able to manage their own
