he remembers how Miller HugginI
has kept Lefty O'Doul on the bencl
this season. He says:
"Huggins will probably keep
O'DOul on the bench so long nc
will forget all he knows about
baseball. 1 think he has al
ready done O'Doul an injustice
as great as any young player
ever encountered. / know Wal.

full ball for Cleveland, and 1
am certainly glad of 1t, but,

had belonged to me one week
before he joined the Indians.
When Tealy Raymond was man
ager OF the Seattle club in the
Northwestern League he waE
going to send Mails home,
claiming he would eve have
control. 1 advised him to let
Mails sit around and finish
games. He took my advice and
the next year Mails won the
pennant for Tealy. I was with
Mails in Brooklyn, too, and the
only reason he didn't stay up
there was because his control
was not good enough for the
big show"

WHAT THEY SAY



The great success which Walter
Mails has had with the CLEVELAND
Indians is meeting with much ap.
prevail on the Pacific coast, from
whence the "Rube Waddell, ths
Second" came. Secretary George
Putnam of the Seals says:
"The victories of Walter Mails
as pitcher for the Cleveland
Indians is worth $4,000 to the
Pacific Coast League. 1t has
proven that we have some real
ball players out here and II gives
us a world OF advertising. In
the future every big league man.
ager Will be sending his scout
this way when he's up against
1t and needs u player or two.
incidentally, I have never heard
any one say. that Mails would
make good with Cleveland, let
alone predict that he would set
the baseball world aflre with his
pitching. I'll laugh at the first
person who gives me that
wheeze, Il told you so.'"

The big attraction starts Monday. Con- stance Ta1madge in Tn Search of Sinner one of the incest, peppiest' spiciest comedies of the screen, opens a weeks engagement at the Trianon Mon day. It is an exceptional attraction in every way and arrangements have been made to handle big crowds at the Trianon all this week.
 This attraction presents Constance Tal- madge in her best part, according to the unanimous verdict of critics. It is de- clared to be one of the big comedy events of the screen, and it is an at- traction that is sure to do capacity busi- ness.
 Tn Search of Sinner is a rich, racy and spicy comedy. It is seldom that such Ia fun vehicle has reached the screen, many newspaper critics have declared.

 "The FlapperY is Ginger King, small town girl of sixteen, who detests It's narrow environment and rebels against the restrictions of a fashionable school.

 IN DESTINY -R|ALTO
Super-Special Feature Pic ture Is Drama of Absorb
 ing Interest

seDes+invr a super-speciaL featuring Ameriea's great emotional actress, Dorothy Phillips. will be the attraction at the Rialto theatre beginning Mon dav This will be the first presenta- ton of this big photoplay in Birming- ham.
 If you see this picture you will see one of the most absorbing dramas of the screen. The story revolves around inc fight between sister and brother, the woman dominated by love and the man dominated by power and wealth.
 In "Destiny" Miss Phillips has the part of mountain girl Mary Burton who has two brothers, Hamilton and Paul. The first is a youth of action, the second a dreamer. Hamilton longs for power and determines to at tain it.
 There is a lapse of time until the boys have attained manhood, Hamil- ion is now power in finance. Paul is still the dreamer and idler Mary IS a member of Hamilton's household, and the clash of her gentle and conciliating nature, and Hamilton's determined domineering personality is ably shown
 Hamilton Burton has become drunk with power, and despite his sisters efforts he launches on course that brings his life down in ruins, anc wrecks the lovesof his sister as well.
 Then as in stage plays of the type of 'The Eyes of Youth" and Roads of Destiny" the alternative line ol action is shown, in which Hamilton Burton, at the crossroads of his life makes a contrary decision, sending the course of the story along far diff ferent channels.

ing swept her off her feet. She knew nothing of small towns, particularly the hidebound conventions of the little Geor- gia town from whichRher husband came.
 But she didn't stop to think about that. She was in love with the young mer- chant, and that was all she cared about. So she married him and went away to live in the little town where neghbors settled the affairs of the world over the back fences and a man might not change his mind without the gossips knowing it.
 Besides her husband had inherited ideas about the duties of a wife. None of these ideas coincided with those of the girl, and they found themselves i'll domestic tangle. How this tangle is strengthened out brings the story to a most entertaining conclusion.
