A GOOD MOVE.

1t was an excellent move on the part
Of President John d. Martin of the
Southern league when he named Hadley
Williams, alias Bulldog" as an m
pire in the association. Williams is one
Of the most capable umpires in the
minors and has a good record back Of
him, always being fair and capable at
all times.
Williams was fired ont of the league
some time ago because of a row he had
in Birmingham with some players and
club officials, and it has been claimed
ever since that time that Williams was
given a raw deal, for he was only pro-
tectlng himself when he mixed in a
fight when three men jumped on him
in the ball park at Baronville.
Williams comes back with a clean
slate and having been indicated for his
share of the mixup. He has the cour-
age to back un his decisions and will
handle the indicator very a~cceptably
for all clubs.

Tom Blodgett, one Of the best left
handed pitchers that the Southern
league eve had, and who was on the
pitching roster Of the Chicks until he
called to war. has returned from
overseas and Is at his home in Kansas.
The Memphis club has heard from
him and 1t is quite likely that Thomas

Blodgett saw a lot OF hard service on

goodly share in repelling the Hun, and
says he desires to rest up before resum-
ing his place on the staff of the Mem
phis club.
Blodgett would prove an ace OF aces

they are in need of another good pitcher
and with a pair of portsiders like Cam

Tribe would be hard to beat.
