less than miracle that the Crackers
overcame the handicap.
This second place argument Is bound

they have a flock of games on the road,

prospect is only that seven of the COM

with Nashville, six with Birmingham,
three clubs that are hard for the Elber-

the latter have packed the rag away and
probably will be eased up.
Manager ELAN again has his ball club
intact, with Art Kores back in the game,
and from here on out the regular lineup
is expected to continue barring an unseen
thrust from fate, which has so many
times denied the most likely club the
victory after it had already been con-
coded. The Vols are a fighting aggrega-

IS o. s. flashed by Manager Dobbs
following Jack Stansbury suffering a
bruised ankle two weeks ago at Mo-

lease today by the local club.
Pezold has been let out, according
to Manager Dobbs to make room for
Jack Stansbury, who will return to the
torrid corner in the final game of the
Chattanooga series today
Dobbs thinks that with Stansbury
back in the lineup. the club will show
more fighting spirit. No further
changes will be made for a day or two
1t is likely that Dobbs will become a
bench manager, following the double
header carded with Mobile next Sun
day and give U. S. Williams, exMis-
sissippi collegian, a tryout.
