 An exceptionally large class of graduates from the South ern League is expected to go up to higher company at the end of present baseball season. Quite few, twenty-one in all,
 have already been disposed of
 to big league clubs, while there
 are half a dozen others who
 might be sold at any time. It should be decidedly pleasing to lo- cal fans to note that sevenI or one third. of the twenty-one players going up this fall are Barons. Six of these barons were sold outright to the majors, while one was recalled by the club which loaned him to the Barons. What's more, another Alabama town stands second in the lists. Mobile Is sending four players to the St Louis Browns. This quartet of stars is the
 property of the Browns and the players nave been recalled for another trial with their big league owners. Chattanooga, Little Rock, Atlanta, | New Orleans and Nashville each have l ewo representa- lives when the fall con l sfngent goes up after September IS | strange to say, Memphis hasn't dis posed of player so far, although there are two or three stars among the Chicks who deserve a trial under the big top.
 The list of players going up is as | follows
 Birmingham - Pitchers John Morrison and Charles Glazner to Pittsburg, Catcher John Peters to Philadelphia Nationals, OutficIder Al Ellis to Louisville American As- soeiatfon, OutfieIder Bert Griffith l to Brooklyn, Outfielder "Sat" Summa to Pfttsburg, Third Base man Clyde Bnrnhart recalled by Pittsburg.
 Mobile--Infielder Mullen, Outfielder Mulvey, Pitchers Haid and Lukanovic, recalled by St. Louis Americans. Atlanta-Pitcher Sheehan to New York Americans, Outfielder Charlie High. recalled by Philadelphia Ameri- 1 cans (High has already reported) Nashville-Pitcher Hodge and Catoh- CT Jonnard to Chicago Americans l Both have reported,)
 Little Rock-Catcher Brottem and 1 Outfielder Miller to Pittsburg. ! NeW OTl6dHS--1nOTtStOP StWtll lO l Cleveland, .OutfieIder Allen to Brook | lyn. (Seweil has reported.) l Chattanooga-Short Dudley, re- I called by St. Louis Americans; Pitcher l Cunningham, recalled by Detroit. | PROSPECTS | There are several star players in
 the Southern who, judging from the excellence of their perform
 ances in Dixie's major, should have | l~R- ~frsN..a | months ago. Chief among them nrc l Tommy Stevenson, shOrtstOp, and l Stuffy Stewart, second baseman, of 1 the. .Barons, Dixie Carroll, Outfield- CT of the Chicks; Harry Harper,
 outfieIder, of the Travellers. nnd
 Larry Gilbert, OutfjeIder, of the
 PeIs.
 l shortstops in the Southern. His field ing has been surpassed by none in this l league this season, while his hitting and base running has been above the | average. He is fast on the bases. beat ing out bunts as often as any other l player in the Southern. He certainly | seems ripe for the majors. In fact, the announcement of his sale to some big league club has been awaited by 1 local fans all season.
 STEWART A WONDER
 Stuffy Stewart is another promising Iyoung player with Birmingham. Hi. l fielding is equally as good around sec ond as Stevenson is at short. Stew I art is a good hitter, especially in the ! pfnches He beats out bunts regu- llariy and is a dangerous man on the
 bases. With Stevenson. Stewart makes
 a capable guardian of any keystone
 This pair Is considered the best ir
 this league.
 Dixie Carroll of Memphis is
 thought to be one of the best out X fielders in the league. In the field
 1 he Is a wonder, engaging in fly balls and drives that ordinary out- fielders wouldn't even touch. He | cuts base hits down to the min- mum. A two-bagger or a three- | bagger in Dixie's territory is real extra base hit, not dtnky binGle, for Carroll doesn't let the dinky ones get by him. Carroll has been way mp around the top In batting. He is among the first four leading batters now. HARPER SHOULD RISE Another thing that puzzles Southern League fans is how Outfielder Harr, Harper of Little Rock has kept out 0 the big leagues. Harper is admittedl. the best batsman in the Southern league He now tops the Dixie bat ters and bids fair to end the season II front. He is a good fielder He IS yrecking crew in himself and wouit be an asset to any big league club. Larry Gilbert of New Orleans is an other outfieIder who should be in th' bie leagues It is reported that Gilber has received offers from the majors but that he would rather play in New orleans. Financial matters are said tt figure in Gilberts refusal to go t' the big leagues. The increase in pa, would not be great, it is said, ans then Larry has a flourishing business down in the Crescent City. HONORABLE MENTION Several other Southern League play era deserve honorable mention. They are as follows:
 Pitcher Walker, Third Baseman ! Demoe and Catcher DeBerry, New OrIeans; Third Baseman Moore, Little Rock; First Rasemnn Bern sen. BirminGhnm, and OutfteldeR Griffin and First Baseman Me Larry, Memphis.
 Credit must be given Manager Carl Iton Molesworth of the Barons for his work this year. He took bunch o1 nlavers that no one expected mucf tfrom and developed them into hard fighting, winning aggregation. Tha' the Barons are around top now Is al rect result of the work Of Boss Moley All seven of the Barons sent to bif league clubs this season were devel- oped by Moley. to whom they owe thei' success.
 MoIesworth is easily the peer oi Southern League managers TAMPA REPEATS AND
