day was an off day. the Chicks journeyed
from Mobile and witnessed the Baron
Traveller double conflict The players
viewed the struggle from the boxes.
The Chicks will enter the Baronial series
without the services of one of their star
players. Pete Allison, the speediest run
ner in the Southern league, injured him.
self during the last Mobile game, and
will doubtless be unable to play against
Birmingham. Edison Hemingway has
been shifted to right field by Manager
Lord, who will probably shunt him to
another garden and place Andreen or
some other player in the outfed.
Allison's injury came at an untoward
moment for Memphis. Red Stewart, the
erstwhile Birmingham right fielder, has
been rlaced on the ineligible list and waiv-
ers requested on him as a result of a
tilt with Manager Lord. This afternoon
Robertson is scheduled to twirl for Mem
phis with Schlei receiving. 1t will be
AID club day at Redwood.
