It's Doc and whitey:


 Moley has been planning for this special occasion Doc Newton has been exceptionally effective against the Chick outfit all sea son. Whitehill, too, a left hand CT. had gone good against the tribesmen. The willy Carlton will feed the lanky right-hander and the diminutive southpaw to the invaders this afternoon.
 Doc, who hasn't worked in some time, stated last night that the old souper felt better than it had at any time this season. Whitey, by virtue of his past three performances on the hill, has demonstrated that he is in better pitching condition than at any time since the gong sounded for the psnnant chase
 At any rate the chesty Chicks will know they have been through a couple of real baseball battles by the time the sun has pulled a Brodie on the western horizon this afternoon.
 Big Crowd Expected
 PreNy Smith. who has >~been keeping touch on the public pulse, despite his recent illness, stated Thursday afternoon that he expected to see the Friday crowd record topple with this afternoons double header. We have never received as many in- quiries over the phone, or as many requests for box reserva- tions, since l have been presi- dent of the local club" said Mir. Smith. Applicants for reserva- tions for Fridays and Saturdays games started the Arms company phone Monday, and they have been busy ever since.
 While Birmingham hasn't chance to knock Memphis from the top in this series, one would never guess 1t by the interest that has been aroused" said Mir. smith.

 Taylor Out of Game
 Tommy Taylor, regular third baseman for the locals. who has been hitting In the cleanup po- Gifinfa fn few weeks, will watch the Mem phis- Birmingham series from the bench. Tommy suffered an other wounded hand during Thursdays battle and was forced to retire from the third base sector in favor of Sumpter Clarke. This pleased Mir. Clarke immensely. Stump, of course, was sorry when Tommy got the injury. but he was just naturally tickled to death to get back in the game. He had been in there for three days, due to Pug AL lens de-corning process, and when Pug got back in the game, Stump began the fidgets again. Fe likes to play ball better than any fellow I've ever seen. Stump is not as brilliant around the third corner as Taylor. and may not be as hefty with the willow, but 1t is figured he will look after the station in capable fash lon against the league-leaders.
 There goes that boy, Red Fa- ber again. Red made 1t 20 Vic- tories by chalking up win Thursday.
