New York. September 2s.-Permission for the Cleveland Americans to use Shortstop Sewell, successor of the late Ray Chapman, in the worlds series if the Indians win the American League pennant was granted tonight by Charles H. Ebbets, president of the Brooklyn National League champions.
 Sewell formerly with the New Or leans Southern Association club, joined the Cleveland team after Chapmans death. and his contract was promul- gated after the time limit of August 30. making him ineligible for the inter- league serTes.
 MT Ebbets' announcement was made in reply to a telegram from President J. Dunn of Cleveland in which he made a request to use Sewell. The Brooklyn president said he honed Cleveland is successful in the American race. in view of the indictment of the Chicago Amer ican players.

SECOND BASEMEN

Figures e they say and in the of the pros pectve worlds second basemen this emnent correct. Viz:
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-09-29

Between Kilduff and Wambsganss it is about a toss-up, the former enjoy ing a 30-point advantage at bat, but tagging behind the Indian in ability to get to drives hit toward his position. Wamby has handled, or tried to handle, about 70 chances more than kllduff, al though participating in one game less than the Dodger.
 Kilduff was off to a good start at bat this year. attaining .500 average for the first week of the season. A week later, however, his mark had shrunk to 222, and although he has batted quite consistently since then, his best ngure has been around PTS. Pete made three hits in seven games, these proving ms most profitable swatting periods dur ing the year. The Dodger nevertheless met the ball hard as his thirty nine extra bases indicate.
 On defense kilduff handled eight chances ten times and nine chances in five games. His biggest total was seven put-outs and five assists on June 15, al though in one other game he handled eleven chances and. in still another ten.
 Features of Wambsganss' play were single games of twelve. and eleven ac- ceptances, two games that netted ten assists and five contests in which he disposed of nine jobs. Wamby had two unfortunate fielding games, once KICK ing two out of eight grounders, and on June 23 messing up three out of thir- teen.
 There was nothing unusual about his batting. There seldom is in connection with .240 average. Thrice Wamby7 gathered three hits per game, these joyous occasions helping materially in swelling his mark. He experienced diff ficulty getting started with the stick, as he was below the 200 notch until the middle of June. Since then, however, he has climbed slowly. but steadily, even if his total advance has amounted to only forty points.
 Briefly, if the Sox horn into the series, the keystone will be all Chicago. With Cleveland arrayed against Brook lyn, honors will be about even, with chances for Kilduff to outpoint Wam- by at the plate.

New York, Sept. 2s.-Cleveland was vir- tually assured of the American league pennant today by the suspension of the Chicago players in connection with the alleged fixing of games in the world s series last year.

 With most of their regulars banned, the White Sox, who rested today, will be forced to put a patched team in the field Friday for their series of three games with St. Louis. Cleveland must win one game more than it's rival to re- tain first place.

 Collins, on his record throughout his big league career is rated as one of the greatest second basemen in the history of the game, and 1920 is one of the very best years he has ever had. He stands out above Kilduff and Wambsganss like Jack Dempsey over a school boy, out chasing both men by an immeasurable margin
 Teaming 1t with either Risberg or Weaver, Collins is the best double play fielder in the game. He is equally dex- trous in starting, pivoting or finishing the two-ply killings. If Chicago faces the Dodgers, Brooklyn fans will see defensive play on double steals that is unknown in the older circuit

AT FIRST UNSUITABLE
Bore Close Resemblance to Stars and
Stripes--Bonnie CBlue Flag First
Used in Mississippi.

SO many inquiries as to the Con-
federatc flag have been received at
the public library that the follow
ing information is supplied by the
library for the benefit of all inter-
eSted.
There was during the first year a
very wide variety of flags and stand
ards used by the South, the first Sc
cession convention which was begun
at Columbia, December II, 1860, u.s.
ing the Palmetto flag which consist
ed of a white field bearing green
Palmetto in the center and under
meath it the motto of South Caro-
lima, "Animis Opibusque Parati."
March 4, 1862, the day that Lincoln
was inaug rated president of the
United Stats, the Confederate con-
vention a. Montgomery adopted as
the official flag fthc Confedcracy
the "Stars and Bars" which was the
first of the three ojcial flags used.
This flag consisted of red field
with white space extending hori-
zontally through the center, and equal
in width to onc-third the width Of
the flag; the red space above and
below to the same width as the white.

the lower red space, in the center

| with the states of the Confederacy.
Events showed that the resemb-
lance of this flag to the stars and
stripes was too pronounced and oc-
casioned confusion and mistakes. In
the first battle of Bull Run the stars
and bars was several times mistaken
for the stars and stripes and vice
versa. After this battle Gen. Joseph
E. johnson adopted the "battlc flag"
which was designed by General Beau
regard and this was afterward adopt
ed as the battle flag of the Confed
eracy by the Confederacy congress.
The flag was "a red or crimson field,
it's bar sblue, running diagnally
across from one corner to the other,
the stars white or gold, the blue be-
ing separated from the red by a
white field"
Similar to British
AS the need of change from the
official flag became apparent after
much discussion the second flag Of
the Confederacy was established by
congress May 1, 1868. This was to
be "a white field, with the union
now used as the battle flag to be
a square two-thirds the widwth of the
flag having the ground red; therein
a broad satire (St. Andrews cross)
of the blue bordered witt white and
emblazoned with white mullets or
five pointed stars, corresponding in
number with that of the Confederate
states"
The objections to this flag were
that at a distance it bore close re-
sembance to the British, white en-
sign and also that when it fell limp
around the flag pole, it had the ap-
pcarance Of flag of truce. These
objections were so valid that con-
gress decided to add broad trans
verse stripe of red to the end of the
fly of the flag, this change being Of
