MOLESWORTH'S LATEST MOVE MAKES DECIDED HIT WITH LOCAL FANS
Decision to Keep Crews Instead of Slap Meets With Popular Favor.
 Slap Has Done Best
By BoB M'DAvID

Carlton Molesworth made 2 wise decision in letting Slap nicka go instead of Crews, ac cording to nine-tenths of the fans with whom we have chat ted recently.
 For sometime it has been evil dent that one or the other would have to feel the ax in order that e;lazner might be added to the roll and now that ''Whitey" is ready to don the unie 1t was up to Moley to choose. And Moley made himself more popular by his deeision. T'ts is not meant to disparage the abil- ity of Slapnicka, than whom there's not more brainy pitcher in the league.
 Slap put Birmingham in third place last year and he has given his best efforts to the club this season and with fair success. but Crews, the youngster, was decidedly the bet ter prospect and has demonstrated that he has the makings of great hurler.
