Ollie Olson is a prize fighter travel
ing with Wallick's Greater Shows,
which are in S~omerville, Tenn. this
week. Olson has been soaring the ma
tives OF Somerville to death during the
past week because of his alleged fight
ing proclivities, and even on the street,
in the poolroOms n everywhere he
would threaten to bite some natives
leg off. He challenged the world in

Somervillians have been watching Oh

and one Of them telephoned in to Billy
Hack, local prize fight promoter, and
asked him if he had somebody he could
bring to Somerville and tame the man
eating Olson. Hack looked around and
ricked up Dummy Mckinney, who has
been battling in local arenas for some
time, and who carries a stiff wallop in
both sleeves.
Hack and Dummy went to Somer-
Vile and Dummy met Olson in eight
rounds. Olson called to all the town
folk to come into the tent and see him
knock Dummy out. Dummy wound up
and tore into Olson and battered him
from pillar to post, slammed him in
the jaw, the nose and in the midsec-
ton. The only reason Dummy failed
to knock Olson out was that the gloves
with which they were fighting were
big pillows. Dummy gave Olson the
beating of his life, much to the delight
Of the S~omervillians, who have seen
the man-eater tanned to a queens taste,

Best Layout in Years.

The present octet of Southern league
managers is beyond question the best
layout of leaders hat the association
has had in many seasons. Every man
is an old experienced player who knows
the game and the league from soup to
nuts, and there is every indication that
a fast race will result.
One of the happiest features of the
appointment of the present eight lead
ers is that they are all veterans and
that they will be able to give the
youngsters who win be within our
gates a number of valuable pointers and
assistance in developing into Glass A
ball players. Youngsters a count on
every man jack of the present S. L.
managers helping them in every way
possible to develop into stars.
: The league can justly feel proud OF
its managers this season, for there Is
not a weak sister in the entire collec-
ton and with such a high-class aggre-
cation Of shippers in charge Of the
teams, the race this season will un-
doubtedly be to the strong.

8 Ex. outfielders on Bench.

On the bench as stationary managers
will be three former outfielders, who
have long since decided to cas aside
all ambitions to develop into Cobbs or
Speakers. Chas, Frank, of the Atlanta
Crackers, has been through as a player
for a number of years. His girth Is
like an elephants ana he couldn't
stoop over and stop a base hit if his
life depended upon it. Charley has al
ready appointed Sam Mayer as field
general of the Crackers this year,
Carlton Wordsworth, Birmingham
manager, is another ex-flychaser WHO
has broadened around the waistband
until he is no longer able to do his
bit as a player. When Motley was
young and willowy he was a bea as
an outfielder and is remembered by
many old-time Southern league pitchers
as a terror with the stick. But Moley
has been steadily increasing in pound
age until he has a b~ay-window like
that Of W. Fl. Taft, and no longer
