TWO NEW MEN FOR !
LITTLE ROCK TEAM
Elberfeld Expects Gus Will
liams and Ben lineup to
Join Club Soon

The Travellers are not out of the
pennant Light which other clubs will
learn before many days pass. Luck
has been breaking badly for us but
conditions will change. More than a
month of play remains and the ma
jority of our remaining games will be
played at home. And just notice the
speedy clip that boys set once they get
on familiar soil"
Above was a statement from Norman
ELberfeld. manager Of the Little Rock
club, after the Crackers had dealt out
two neat lacings to the Arkansans in
twin bill yesterday afternoon.
In final effort to make a dash
for the Dixie pennant. after his club
has suffered several severe setbacks,
the Kid is contemplating reconstruct
ing his lineup
Dee Walsh, who was left in Little
Rock when the club departed. is ex-
rested to join the club in Mobile or
New Orleans. Dee has been out with
q split finger. suffered in the final
game with the Crackers in Little Rock
When Dee arrives the Kid expects
to play him at third base. his regular
position. put McGinnis al short. stop
and shoot Distel to right field in order
to put hitting strength in the outfield
The Kid himself will play second base
and Bacon will handle the utility duties.
Two announcements were made by
Elberfield Saturday night which will
better the chances for the Travellers
Ia their pennant scrap. The Kid ex-
poets Gus Williams. former Nashville
outfielder. and Ben Lineup. former
Traveller hurler, to join the club in New
Orleans. Williams was signed three
weeks ago but was unable to join the
club because of the serious illness of
his wife. Lineup has been the property
of the louisville American association
club, from which team he comes

port, as they are expected to do. and

How you gonna keep EN- down near
the cellar when they take two in one
day.
Memphis was passed yesterday and
if the battle with the Lookouts ends
favorably, our Barons will move up
another notch in the standing. BY
the way. Mobile is only three and one
half games ahead of the local sluggers.
and the Bruins are not going so good
nowadays.
The Pels are leading the league by a
two-point margin this morning, as a
consequence of their win over Mem
phis, while Chattanooga was stopping
the Crackers. However. the Pels will
have to play against the Little Rock
Travellers today and Atlanta has the
cellar champion Vols as opponents.
With Sigman on the mound, the Ba-
rons ought to grab the first game of
the series today. Young Noel will
probably be sent to the hill by Strang.
Little Rock evidently hasn't given
up it's pennant ambitions yet Ac-
cording to dispatches, the Kid has
signed outfielder Gus Williams for
mer Vol star, and Pitcher Ben Tin
cup, who hurled a no-hit, no-man-to-
reach first game against the Barons
here in 1917. Both these players should
star in this circuit and the razor
backs may yet prove contenders for
the gonfalon.
The Reds, Giants and Cubs all lost
yesterday and no change is noted in
the race this morning. The Reds should
gain little on the Giants by the next
switch, which sends New York to Chi
cago for series and the Phillies 10
Redland. Those Cubs are hard to esat
and they will rake fiendsh delight
in Furnishing McGraw's team.
Now that Whitley" Glazner has dem
onstrated that he can pitch whenever
called upon, it is not too much TO
hope that the Barons finish in fourth
place. About 25 games remain on
Moiey's schedule and IL 20 of them
are grabbed by the locals, they ought
to wind UP in select company
