HERE'S PARTIAL LIST.

Tere's a partial list compiled off
hand of Southern league ball players
who are going higher at the end of the
year down here;
Dixie Carroll, Memphis outfielder.
Going up, but has not been sold to
any club yet. Several bids in for him,
John Peters. Birmingham catcher, GO
ing to the Philadelphia Nationals.
Tony Brottem, catcher, and Bing
Miller, outfielder, both of Little Rock.
going to the Boston Americans. First
deal had them going to the Washington
Senators, but this has been called OIL
Joe Sewell, New Orleans shortstop.
going to the Cleveland indians.
Clarence Hodge, Nashville right
handed pitcher. going up, more than
likely to the Detroit Tigers
Whitley Glazner, Birmingham right
handed pitcher, going back to the ma
jors, very probably to the Pittsburgh
Pirates.
This list is far from complete, for
scouts have several other players In
mind who are more than likely to be
given tryouts.
Dixie Carroll Chick center fielc"r
went to the Boston Nationals last sea-
son along with Larruping Lou Christen-
bury. but was not retained by the
Braves on account OF the fact that he
is a left -handed batter. But the fact
that he hits from the left side has not
deferred other clubs from angling Tor
him, and it is expected that within a
very short while he will have been dis
posed Of, to report at the end of the
season.
Dixie prefers the American league,
and if possible he viii be sold to club
in the Junior major He is at present
leading the league in stolen bases, and
batting well over 800. His fielding
has been sensational all year, Many
scouts who have passed through Mem
phis have stated that Carroll was a
much better outfielner than Pat Dun
can, former Birmingham fly-chaser
who broke in with such bang with
the Cincinnati Reds and helped them
Win a worlds championship.

John Dobbs began to look ahead

Chicks can outhit any combination of
