Carroll was without question the
peer OF any outfielder in the South
ern league last season, leading the
league In base stealing, purloining
SO satchels, and scoring more runs
than any other player in the organi-

the hitterS having been topped only
by Harry Harper, OF Little Rock
The sale OF Carroll does not cong
as a surprise, for 1t has been known
for n long time that several clubs
were angling for the services Of the
star fly chaser The trouble has been
thus far that no club offered the
Memphis club ms much as they fig
ured Dixie was worth. Dixie was fig
ured by the local club moguls to be
worth between $4,000 and $4,000. but
the offers received previous to the
ST. Louis offer were not up To that
figure, and were accordingly turned
