Little" Bill Schwartz and his
bunch of hall tossers will make their
debut into real base ball here on the
Sth Of September. This is the date
iagreed upon between Manager Pad
gett and President Dedman of the
local team and the Nashville ina
got"
Some suggested that they play the
Nashville bunch on the terms Of the
winner taking the gate receipts, but
Manager Padgett and President Ded-
man held another council of war and
decided that 1t would be taking UNI
F, due advantage Of the Schwartzites to
lplay them such a trick and decided
to make 1t benefit game for both
clubs, and after talking the matter
over with some of the fans they all
voted that Padget and Dedman had
II big hearts and did not want to
freeze the Nashville bunch out al
together, for 1t would have been a
strictly walk back to Nashville pro-
position for the Vols il such deal
had been made-because none get
away from this bunch up here in the
land Of the gods, the land Of vines
and fig trees, etc.
Manager Schwartz and his aggre-
cation of alleged ball players are
coming to Columbia with the expec-
tation Of just walking over and cop
lping game but let's whisper some
thing in the ear Of Billy right now.
When the last ball is thrown by that
mighty Three-Fingered Brown and
his Jumps says you are out Bill will
realize that he has been to ball
game.
Watermelon Frazier hasn't been
defeated this year with the present
team behind him and he has moved
down more men with that mighty
fright paw Of "his'en" that any anna
teur pitcher in America (?). OF
course this il, not Dragging on Water

that no doubt will make this Water

blush, as he is rather modest, in fact
he Is so modest that he nearly al
ways apologies to the team after
the game is over for not letting them
hit the pill He is wonder And
then there is that fellow Red Bryant
that is an enigma, whatever that is,
to all batters that face him. Bryant
is red headed and pitches red head
ed ball. OF course Nashville amt
never seen anything like them and
never will again after they leave
here with defeat printed all over
them.
That's juts two pitchers. We got
a dozen. We have one tried out that
twirled for st. Louis Browns, but we
don't like to play him unless we. have
ito, as we don't consider him quite up
to the standard, even though he did
win all the games he pitched for the
Browns. There is that fellow Morri-
son, Ray, you know him. Bill. You
have seen him play with Vandy. OF
course Ray is not strictly pitcher,
but plays ball anywhere you put him
and can beat eIy man on the Nash
willie team running. II they DOM be-
lieve this part of the story, just let
them get in a chase with him while
they are here. They are sure to get
tagged right between the shoulders
before they can get on the bag to save
them. Then there is that wonderful
three-fngered man. We won't call his
name, because Johnny McGraw is
looking for pitcher for the world
series and we are afraid that he will
graft" him before the eighth, of
course after the eighth We don't care
because we will have annexed the
Nashville ball club the Dell and the
Nashville franchise in the Southern
league. Man, we are ball players up
here. Look who will be behind the
