Ever since Moley cleaned out the an

the departure of Dad Vaughn and had
one season in 1909 to build himself a
machine and keep nucleus to build to,
he has rarely finished below the first
division This Is the main reason that
he Is dean Of Southern league man

make his 14th year on the Baronal
outfit. He went there in the spring of
1906 and worked as a private in the
ranks under Dad Vaughn, until June,
1908. Vaughn lost completely out as a
manager at this time, and he sgot the
can. Motley succeeded him and has
been plotting the Birmingham club since
that time
OF course. he wound I'M on the bot

the future, and in 1910 he came from a
second dvisloner to second place. where
he finished the season. In 1917 he fin

smith switched his lineup in thissfracas,
sending himself and Tommy Long to
the midfield which did not seem to do
much toward keeping the ball to the

goal was in hot water all the time.

The second game was another affair
where the Royals, who are playing
