It's astonishing these hone dry
times how many people have made
a special study of the Bible. Any
number of the old soaks who had
forgotten the existence of the Good
Book are now glibly quoting,
Take d little wine for thy stom-
ach's sake" Then for fear they
have not landed a bomb shell SOU
arely in the midst Of the dry forces
they hurriedly exclaim, why,
Christ turned water into wine!''
Ask them when and where the
miracle was performed, they are
mostly a little bit hazy about it,
but they think it was at a wake
the night before Lazarus funeral.

Or won't or can't.

You were my joy and pride;
A happy day.

Prayed are the seats and worn,
A cough affects thy horn.

mCK KERR AND CLAUpk WILLIAMS NAY BE IN woRLDs SERIES

DlNh hfItltA AND CLAUDE WILLIAMS MAY BE In WORLDS SERIES.
Two former Southern Ieague left-handers-and two of the smallest
pitchers in the majors-are likely to be in the approaching worlds Sc
|fes, Dick Kerr, the dtminutive Memphis pitcher of other days, and
claude Williams, former Nashville portsider, are now prominent MEM
bers of the pitching staff OF che chicago White sox and It'll due to their
great work on the hill that the Hose are now in the front rank of the
American league pennant hunt, with an excellent chance to cop the
championship and engage in the woGldS series with either the Cincn-
natl Reds or New York Giants.
When Kerr went to the majors the critics in che various cities said
n was 700 small OF stature to make a successful pitcher. Even Man
tiny letthsnder came through, and after Two or three trials, Gleason is
convinced that DICE Is a brick and that he Is one Of the most depend
able pitchers In the main tent today.
Williams Is also small OF stature, but is not so near the mround as
Kerr, Both have proved very effective this year in the games they
have worked for the White SH, and with the Windy City entry bowl

NO SYMPATHY IN DIXIE FOR CARL MAYS.
Dixie fans have no sympathy in their hearts for Carl Mays, the
troube-mahlns pitcher OF the Nw York Yanks, who was recently sus-
pended by President Ban Johnson, Of the American league, because he
quit the Boston Red Sox cold.
1t Is remembered that it was a bean ball deliberately heaved nv
Mays that completely knocked Frank Thrasher into oblivion. Thpasbep
was a young Dixie ball player with a world OF promise. He played the
outfield for Atlanta and from the Crackers he went to the Philadelphia
Athletics, While at bat one afternoon, with Mays pitching, Frank was
peaned by I'M Boston pitcher. 1t was but a short time later that Thrasher
petered out, owing to his injuries. He came back to the Southern. hut
ne was not the same ball player. He was shy and nervous up there at
me plate. lie was ruined. Thrasher today Is NOT in baseball due 10
