Indebtedness, aaI the who,e Ut to wipe out the s40O0
 So we have the whole story in nutshell: the reason why Atlanta is selling so many of her stars to one club, and we have no reason to doubt the authenticity of the report Connie Mack and his scouts have been down south several times to look over the Crackers. In fact, Scout Tommy Turner was on hand to col lect the players when the season ended.
 The names of those fortunates in- cluded in Comics pick have been printed in southern papers for sev- eral weeks. Suffice it to say that Catcher Styles, First Baseman Grif- fin, Shortstop Galloway, Pitchers Boone, Nasty and Roberts, Second Baseman Dykes and Outfieder Kopp were rediculousy cheap for 5000, as everybody who knows baseball win testify.
 And Molesworth got more for Pat Duncan than Cholly Frank did for all eight of his stars. So even at the risk of contradicting our old friend Hennery Vance, we can't see for the life of us why Frank is rated as the worlds greatest minor league base ball salesman"

As for Franks car-lot sale to the Philadelphia club. here's the way we sot 1t by the grapevine" The At lanta street railway company sold the Cracker franchise to Charlie Frenl; in 1917. Last season, the Crackers played miserable ball, drew the sor-'est attendance in their re- cent history, and lost money through out the season. The result was that Frank was as hard Up ses d news paper man on Sunday night and furthermore some of the purchase money notes he dad givsn the trac- ton company were falling due.

Eggs at Easter.

The use of Easter eggs is common
to all Christendom, and seems to be
a symbolic tradition Of the primitive
church. 1t is explained in varIoua
ways. The most probable theory is
that because of the phenomenon of
batching it was chosen as symbol
of the resurrection. At first the Eas.
ter eggs were taken to the temple and
blessed by the priest, and then distrib.
uted to ones friends and family. But
after awhile they came to stand mere
ly for a festival, when they could eat
the eggs that had been denied them
during Lent. 1t is impossible to say
when the first mention is made of
