 Bad Year for Managers
 Decorating managers with tim ware in midseason seems to have become a fad all of a sudden. Heretofore the general tendency has been to wait the coming of frost before applying the ax. Now they kick em out overnight.
 In the majors we have two such instances this year. Johnny Evers was the first to get his passports. Johnny was told one afternoon that Bill Killefer was manager of the Cubs.
 A few days later we find Wild Bill Donovan being notified that the Phils would try to struggle along for the remainder of the season without his services.
 Cases in the minors have been innumerable, Here in the South- ern Hub Perdue. the Gallatin Squash, was squashed overnight and told to relnquish the reins to Cotton Knaupp. Down in the Florida State league they had regular epidemic of job changes among the managers. Harry Swacina of the Lakeland club en- joyed the unusual distinction of being fired twice in the same :, season. Up in the Sally league dlHOSI every CluD III the ClTCulI has kicked out its manager and supplanted him with a newcomer since the season started. Verify, it seems to be the open season on pumping off managers.

swimmers from Dallas. Tex. rep resenting the Cascade Athletic club will arrive in Birmingham today. in readiness for the southeastern A A. U. acquatic meet which will pc staged at East Lake Saturday aft- eroon. In addition to the three vet eran performers, Jarvis, Crow and Ra gland. stars of the past few sea- sons of the Dallas team. Vance Velth one of the main reasons for the phe- nominal success Of the Lone Star State swimmers, will accompany the team Veith is coach of the Cascade club outfit, and the success of his team is evidenced by the rather nu- merous records held by some of his swimmers.
 Veith was coach of the Los An geles Athletic club swimmers for a number of years, and developer of such stars as Norman Ross, Ludia Langer and other stars of national repute, is credited to him.
 Jarvis Rack
 Lee Jarvis, the chief performer of the Cascade team, is back again this year in all his former glory and the some if advance reports from Dal- las may be taken at their face value. In last years meet it was Jarvis work in a large measure that en- abled the Dallas outfit to capture first honors. Aside from placing in the 90 and 1o0-yard dashes, Jarvis won the 220, 40 and sS0-yard events. and also set a southern record in the breast stroke event.
 Hugh Crow. southern diving chari- pion, is another one of the stars of last years meet Vno is back with the Cascade team this year. Crow easily won the junior and senior diving events in the 1920 meet.

The trouble in Philadelphia Is that nickel-nursing has become mania on both the American and National league clubs. Con nie Mack has sought to get young stars without expenditure and develop em, and President Baker has repeatedly refused the putting out process, so necessary in the building of winning ball clubs in the majors.
 Relief Too Late
 It's crime that Moley wasn't able to assemble his present pitching staff earlier in the sea son. Had the pitching reinforce ments arrived earlier N the game, there might be different narrative to relate, even with the Chicks having stormed through the campaign in their tumultuous style.
 As Moley's staff now stands, he has one of the best pitching corps in the league. Phil Morrison, Mike Eberhsrd, Floyd Wheeler md Earl Whltehill ask quarter of TO man, when il comes to tossing the globule. Merry has been with us all season, but was slow .to round to form. Earl Whitehill strained his arm on the first day out, in an extra-inning affair, and this delayed his getting down to real pitching form. Eber- hard came down from Pittsburg when Boss Smith went up in search of men, and Wheeler was bought through Pittsburg from the New London club. in the On- tario league. when it was seen that Gallagher was out with battered arm, and that Doc New Ntons salary whip was not round ing into condition.
 
 An Effective Qunrtette
 Taking them as whole, they are probably the best balanced pitching aggregation in the league. New Orleans has two flashes in Vance and Phillips, but it is believed Moley's quartet will outm easure the Dobbs' staff. The pitching styles of Moley's four men widely differ, too. Morrison. built very much like Walter Johnson, is the stuff man of the four. Worry probably has ker-breaking and wider breaking curve ball than any man In the league. His main fault in the early season was his inexperience. As soon as he learned the art of generalship. he started fooling 'em all. Earl Whitehill is the most graceful southpaw we've ever seen. The fork handed artists usually ap- pear awkward in the box, and as rule demonstrate gobs of lost . motion while making a delivery. Not so with Whitehill. Whitey depends on a puzzling cross fire and change of pace. Mike Eber- hard is a follower of the Mathew sonian cult, when it comes to pitching, Mike. like the famous Big Six, doesn't believe in extend ing himself until the pinch ar rives. He believes infields and outfields were placed out there for other than decorative

GIRL WITH BROKEN
BACK LOSES SUIT
Woodbury. Judge, on Hearing
Testimony, Rules That Miss
Rhoades Has No Case
IN HOSPITAL SIX MONTHS

The case of Mrs. Nancy Ianc for her
daughter. Miss Olive Rhoades. against
Abram James for damages received in
an automobile accident on July 7 last. in
which Miss Rhoades received n broken
back, had three ribs fractured and =
lung punctured, was non suited in
Woodbury. yesterday on the order of
Judge Dongecs. Miss Rhoades for more
than six months lay in the Underwood
Hospital, most of the time in n cast,
and for three months was in bed con-
tinuously with forced extension" a
particularly painful experience.
The accident occurred near Woodbury.
when the defendants son, Everett
James, who had been paying attention
to Miss Rhoades, ran his machine into
horse and cart, which could not be
seen because of stormy night, and
without red lights on the cart.
X-ray apparatus was brought into
court to show the internal injuries to
the jury. DR.. Underwood, DR.. Stout,
DR.. Kline and Prof. James 4. Rugh,
of the Jefferson Hospital, testified as
to what the young lady had gone
through. Prof. Rugh's testimony was
particularly interesting to the large
number of spectators, as he told Of the
wOn0ertul operation ana Cne outcome.
A six inch piece of bone was taken from
Miss Rhoadcs' lower limb, placed on
the fracture of the broken spine where
nature did it's work in knitting the
parts.
The doctor said that the defendan,
was paralyzed totally below the middle
Of the body. that she was n nervous
wreck and that it was necessary to koer
the patient fastened to the bed witt
weights on her feet for weeks. Dr.
Underwood said that only about tw:
fractures Of this kind in hundred evei
resulted in cure.
Miss Rhoades was young, and this
added to the success in operating, AMI
that her cheerful disposition all througl
the months she lay there made her q
host of friends. Her testimony was
to the effect that she knew nothing o
what was going on for three weeks
after the accident. She rememberet
running into the cart; that she, with
Young James, were on their way TO 4
party at Pitman, but that James hat
done an crrand for his father bcfor,
calling for her.
It was on this point that the fathe,
based the defense, claiming that he hat
merely loaned the machine to his son
and that he was not responsible for tht
injuries.
