would be much enhanced.
A fan drops a note in the morning
mail to criticize the playing OF Manager
lack Lewis, of the Chicks, who is COW
ering the middle bag for the Tribe, and
who, in the past pair of weeks, has
made several errors.
The truth in the matter is that Lewis
shouldn't be in the game at all. His
right arm, which was broken early
this season, still pains him considcra-
bly,, and he finds it almost an impossi
biiity to field with the same ability
that made him the leading middleman
in the league before his accident
And then Jack is up against it when
hits the ball hard, it means that the
arm that was broken and which is
knitting, is hurt. Those who have had
broken arms will appreciate the handi-
cap under which Lewis is laboring.
These few facts are presented merely
to set those right in regard to the
Chick manager, who is out there in an

With the completion Of the Labor day
program the curtain was runR down on
the 1920 matinee season and it is safe
to say that never in the history of anna
teur racing in Memphis has such a sue
cessful one been enjoyed.
The public turned out in larger num-
bers than ever before to witness the
sport and this can be accounted for In
a great measure by the half mile track
which is doubtless one OF the fastest
and best laid-off ovals in the entire
country.

TRAVELLERS FAVORED.

The curtain is fast drawing to a
| close, and the flag hunt is to be de-
cided within the next week.
Inc Southern league schedule favors
the Little Rock Travellers, who are billed
J TO meet Chattanooga. Nashville and
Memphis the rest of the year, and the
Travellers should breeze in without ex-
erting then selves.
| Little Rock has a team of sluggers
and an array of good pitchers, and as
they are meeting the three worst clubs
in the league, they should have easy
sailing.
If the Travellers cop the 1920 flag,
they will meet the pennant winners in
the Texas league, according to Bob
Allen, president of the Little Rock
club.
Allen states that his club will play
the series in spite of the Southern
league directors, who have voted against
the proposed series, Allen proposes to
override. the league directors and do
what he pleases. 70
1t is not surprising that Allen should
take this stand, for he has shown ever
since he has been in the league that
he has no regard for authority or for
the bylaws and constitution of the
league, doing what he pleases despite
the wishes Of the remaining seven
club owners in the league.
Allen is going to keep on until he
finds himself and his club out in the
cold, when he will wake up and see
how much it profits a man to try to
take the bull by the horns and operate
on a rule-or-ruin platform.

stop, go to the Cleveland Indians, and

Jules, Heinemann, president of the
New Orleans club, is the big noise in
the team, and it was he who com
pleted the deal that removed from the
Pels one of their main cogs. Winning
pennant is nothing new for the Pels,
and with a good stiff price available
it was only natural that Heine would
let Joe go to the Indians.
The Cleveland club has been hard

ly death of Ray Chapman to find a
departed star. Harry Lunte, an ex-
Southern Lacquer, formerly with Mo,

wanting. Sewell was the man Man

ably realized that with a capable
shortstop, the Indians would have a
much better chance to win this sea-

so Cleveland made New orleans a
fat offer, and as the Cleveland club al
ways has the inside track on every
thing pertaining to the Pels, It was
only natural that the Pelican officials
would come to the aid of the Indians
in their time of dire need. despite the
fact that the Pels needed Sewel full
