REGARDING FREAKS.

The Southern league has already gone
on record as barring all freak deliveries
such as the spitball, shine ball, etc,
but not until the 1920 eason will the
edict be enforced.
At the last meeting of the Southern
league last spring Capt. Sammy Strang
Nickffn, of the Chattanooga club, Of
fered a resolution looking toward the
elimination of all freak deliveries. II
was considered and then decided by
the magnates that in view of the fact
that many clubs had spitball pitchers
all groomed for the 1919 season the lid
would be left off, with the understand
ing that in 1920 no such practices would
be countenanced. And so 1t was mu-
tually agreed.
The rule is not down on paper. but
will be properly recorded at h an
nual meeting here next week.
Pitchers will be permitted their usual
roSin sacks, but nothing else, and these
sacks will be given them at the start
of zach game by the umpire.
Those spectators who have been
forced to wear raincoats and use UNI
brellas on days spitball pitchers worked
will at last have been afforded long
sought relief.
The emery ball, the spitball and the
shine ball have been legislated out OF
existence, but We still have with US the
beanball. Heaving the pill at some I'M
lucky bloke's dome will still be in vogue
as long as there are domes to throw at.

JACK TO BE BACK.

The middle bag out at Russwood park
will be covered by Jack Lewis next
season. This much regarding the 1920
array has been settled beyond further
argument.
Jack is a very valuable man. Other
Southern league clubs realize it. Jack
Is sought as a manager for two or
three minor league teams below the
Southern's class, but getting him out of
the Southern would be the problem, for
the other seven clubs would get a crack
at him via the waiver route and he'd
be gobbled up by the club-owner who
won the race to the telegraph office.
Lewis was captain of the 1919 ag-

There are some subjects into whose
exact details the American press is
naturally reluctant to go. Probably
for that reason, the testimony this

known.
Mr.. Simmons was formerly rep.

There are too many people who are
irving to convince themselves that
the Bolshevists are at heart good peo-
pie who are endeavoring to help hui
manity and are saying that the vioi-
enc and bloodshed in Russia is merely
an unfortunate incident in the pro-
gress of a noble cause to be attri-
buted to the natural reaction of an
oppressed and ignorant people after
centuries of degradation.
Their number finds recruits from
otherwise Intelligent people who con-
stitutionally like to synpathize with
what they are pleased to consider the
underdog, and they are swelling the
usual company Of "long-haired men
and short-haired women" who are
flirting with parlor socialism.
