Scout Charlie Barrett Pres ent to Watch Covington,
 knisely Et As
IS IMPRESSED BY
 KNISELY'S HITTING
Brown Scout Says the Southern Is Just as Fast as Ever-Says Hickey Is Strong for
 Southern

Perhaps some wondered at the eN- traordinary display of lively tactics in yesterdays struggle at Redwood, but there's a reason. In the grandstand Scout Charlie Barrett of the St Louis Browns sat- gazing intentiy at the setto. Before the game the "ivory hunter' of the majors chatted with Ernest Covington. the Baron first sack CT. and Hemingway, the third sack CT of the Vols. Realizing the import ance of impressing Barrett, covington played great game at first base, but Hemmingway suffered a bad day
 This Is Barretts first trip to the southern since 1910. His purpose is to look for prospective Browns, as in the Southern are many Browns under op- tional agreements. Hollander, the star s<ortstop of Montgomery; covington of the barons and Hemmingway of Nash ville were sent to the Southern under optional agreements and the St. Louis club is watching them closely.
 "l hear that all three of our young sters are starring here" said Scout Barrett, and l am glad to hear 1t. Hickey has great faith In these young sters. That boy Covington is won derful fielder, isn't he? l have not seen all of the clubs in action, but will be- fore return. The Browns need a good right handed hitter for the outfleld. and it seems as if Pete knisely will just about fill the bill He surely Is some hitter
 Although some think the Southern Is slower than usual, l feel that 1t is just as fast as 1t was in 1910, the last year I covered this territory Branch Hickey, the manager of the Browns, is strong for Southern league players and will depend upon the Southern to furnish the usual quota of players. He Is one of the smartest mon in baseball and Is getting fine results with his players"
 The Brown scout doubted that Rum Ter would join the Montgomery club in Memphis. He said the .youngster showed world of promise but that Hickey was willing to shunt him to Montgomery. As he is a drafted play CT Barrett said 1t would be difficult to waive him by the Class A leagues to which he will be offered. When asked as to whether his club would favor Nashville and other Southern league clubs with pitchers, he stated that he thought 1t improbable The dif- ficulty in securing waivers explains the situation.
 He will watch all of the games In the present series between the Vols and Barons before departing. Barrett has been scouting for several years for St. Louis having sent Jeff Tesreau, Bill Killifer, George Foster and other major leaguers to the big show. He wss the discovered of Covington.

Former Star of Southern Is Swapped for Gather
 and Whitted
DEAL COMPLETED
 AFTER LONG WHILE
Hub Wanted to Leave Boston Team. Proved a Wonder Last Year. Braves Need Out
 Fielder

Boston. July 1.--"Hub" Perdue, one time the idol of the fans at the Nat ional league park here and the veteran pitcher of stalling's staff. has been traded to St. Louis in exchange for George whitted, third sacker. and Teddy Gather, outfielder
 Perdue does not like New England and he plainly showed it. His dissatisfaction has affected his work with the result that Stallings was willing to let the vet eran go if he could make a good ex- change.
 The Braves needed outfielders bad and Gather will, in Stalings opinion, ill in a big gap. His record will make him welcome in Boston. Martin and Deal have been alternating at third, but Deal the most promising of the two, is a weak hitter and Whtted will cover the bag as soon as he reports, for time at least.
 The deal has been on tap for a week. Stallings demanded the two St. Louis players named, but the Cardinals man. agement. while wanting Perdue was un- willing. Last night manager Stallings made the announcement that the deal was off unless St. Louis came to his terms
 St. Louis wanted to give only one player. but Stallings knew the value of Perdue to any other team but Boston and held out for two men.
 Boston fans who know Perdue say he will get along better in St. Louis than in Boston. He is a southerner and New England climate and people "got on his nerves" he often said. With the differ ent environment ana new people. his Boston admirers say, he will be a new man and return to his old time prowess
 Perdue is a right handler, elevated from the Southern league. He went to the Braves from the Chicago Cubs Huggins has been angling for Perdue for two years Last year Stallings offered to trade Perdue for Mike Mowrey.
 The deal was matched in June. Hug gins held off for a day or two. Perdue started pitching winning ball for Bos- ton and Stallings called the trade off Last winter Stallings offered 10 ex- change Perdue for Cosy" Dolan.

with a fierce wallop to left field, but the ball carried foot out of the line and relieved a tense feeling. Had it hit safely a home run would probably have been scored. On the next ball he popped up weakly to Covington. Smith. the second catcher, drove out his third successive hit to center and Callahan counted. Hemingways grounder ended the rally.
 In the last three innings Brown did not yield a hit, while Kroh proved equal ly as effective. Several close plays at the plate made the game interesting. Knisely's unerring peg to the plate killed Smith in the fifth, while Kings return proved fatal to Ellam in the fourth.

persistent jinx was showed Into the discard yesterday, when Birmingham dowped Forest More, the battle-scarred veteran of the Vols. The big moundsman was forced to retire after 10 safe drives had been registered in six innings. kroh assumed the burden and did not yield a hit during the remaining sessions. Curley Brown twirled for the Barons and was effective in the pinches. He pitched in vincibly in every inning except the sixth, when four punched hits enabled Nash vile to score two runs.

Both Mar can and Brown talled and Stewart reached third. More had been hit timely in previous innings, so Schwartz obeyed that impulse and yanked him from the slab. Floyd Kroh relieved him and en- 5oyed a brief sojourn on the mound, for Stewart attempting to steal home, was called out at the plate by Fifield. The decision was close and met with a ques- tioning howl.
 The ''jinx' was dispelled in the first inning. Marcan, who experienced big day with the ash, singled to left. Stew art drew a pass, while Carroll advanced both runners a peg with grounder to
 
 ward the slab and More made an effort to trap it. But the big twirler just succeeded in halting it's momentum, but recovered it in time to nail the Teuton at first. Marcan scored on the rap. Gov ington, as Scout Charley Barrett watched intently, rocked rightfield fence with a triple and allowed Stewart to complete the pilgrimage.
 In the fourth the lead was swelled by another tally. Mcbride doubled down the leftfield foul line. Ellam bunted to More, but the big salesman fumbled, al- lowing Mcbride to advance to third Dill ger hoisted a short sacrifice fly to left and sent Mack home.

Have to Have Tickets.

Jackson, Miss Nov. 2 Among
the more interesting cases in which
decisions were handed down by the
Supreme Court to.day was that of
y. w. Armstrong vs. the Pullman
Company, a suit for punitive and
sQther damages amounting to $4,000
'Mr. Armstrong is une of the best
known travelling men iD this sec
tion, representing st. Louis house.
In 1911 he was in st. Louis and pur-
chased a berth on the Pullman for
the return trip. Entering b ,
sleeper he discovered that he had
misplaced his ticket, having left it
in another coat which was in his
trunk, and which could not be got.
ton at. The conductor refused to
accept his word that he had pur-
chased a ticket, though that proof
was substantiateo by two OF his
friends, and in consequence he was
forced to ride in the day coach.
Mr.. Armstrong lost the case in the
Kinds County Circuit Court, and
the Supreme Court affirmed that
finding. holding that conductors
are bound to have the ticket. else
they would be always in disputes.
and the loss of this ticket was not
the fault of the conductor or the
Pullman Company.

SAID TO HAVE RAISED MONEY.
MccOmb Man Charged With Increas-
ing a ST Bill to a SIS.

r. c. Patrick, an aged farmer
who lives near McComb City.
wastaken to Jackson and
lodged in the county jail on a charge
of raising 81 to SIS. and passing
it off on a McComb City merchant.
It is probable that the evidence
against him will be presented to
the federal grand jury which is now
in session.
The raised bill is now in the
office of United States District At.
torney Lee. The work of raising
the silver certificates was crude,
four figures five, evidently from
some calendar, being pasted over
the number on the bill. Where
the figure appeared on some parts
of the bill erasures were made.
To pass such crude affair Il!
would seem the person taking it
must have been in hurry or it
was SO crumpled up when
presented that only one Of the nu-
merals was observed. However it
did not take the McComb City mer-
chant who accepted it long to find
calling for SIS. and he at once caus-
ed the arrest Of Patrick.
Patrick was taken to jackson BY
