Another Alabama Star Graduated to
 Big League Outfit

University, April 21.-(SpeciaL) The University of Alabama has sent another promising young star to the big leagues. Francis Pratt, who has been covering short for the CrimsOn's this season, left this afternoon to join the Chicago White SOx, where he will hold down third base. It was hoped that Pratt could remain to play in the game with Georgia tomor- row, but he received an urgent telegram from the White Sox ask ing to report immediately.
 Pratt played with Alabama in 1917 and returned this year, and has been performing well in the field and .at the bat, being one of Bernier's most dependable hitters. He leaves a vacant berth in the Crimson camps that will be hard to fill.

 The Razorbacks stepped out in front again in the half-dozenth stanza, when with two down, Boil waited Frenick out and got pass to first He pulled a steal to second and rode home Cn Wano's pinch blow to right field.
 LUCKY SEVENTH
 Moley's men tied the thing up in the lucky seventh, after two were out. Stuffy beat out an infield tap, stole second, and Emery dished out a single to right. Harper let the ball roll to the fence, Stewart scoring and Emery racing round to third and attempting to come home, when relayed throw caught him at the plate.
 The Kidders decamped from Bir- mingham Thursday night Their stay here had been so peaceful ana free from squabbling that Elberfeld and Moore probably couldn't stand to leave town without creating some dis turbance. and this probably accounts for the alleged stolen ball episode at the conclusion of Thursdays game.
 The Moleys open today with the un- beaten Memphis Chicks. Whitehill will be Carlton's pitching choice.

pulled Jack-knlte dlVeS aIJer them.
 In the visitors club house a general brawl began brewing, and Jack McClain sprained couple of tonsls yelling "Police." through his megaphone. Epi- thets began to fly thick and fast and it looked like fists would do the same thing any minute. With the strong arm of the law reaching out for them, how ever, the Kid and Scrappy relinquished their hold upon the two leather-covered spheres and serious trouble was averted. while a hundred or so fans who had rushed to the scene went away disap- pointed that no ones nose had been frac- tured by flying fist.
 A BEAUTIFUL GAME
 Getting back to the game, it must be admitted that the 10-innng dog-fall was a lalapaloosa, despite the fact that in- numerable base-running bones were pulled before Stuffy Stewart got the prize ivory stunt out of his system in the tenth for the third out With one man down in this tenth frame and Stuffy on second and Emory on first, Silva hit a gro1lnder to the pitcher, and Stewart vent over to third. The pitcher tossed Silva out at first, and Stewart, appar- ently under the impression that the side had been retired, wandered off the bag, was caught in chase and thrown out at second for the third out and the end of the game, as Umpire Handy. who is not A good judge of darkness, called the game.
 FREINCK PITCHES WELL
 Kid Frenick who started and finished the game for the Moleys, proved con- clusively that Kansas City sends out something besides good steaks. 1t looks like the town is noted for producing good pitchers as well, as the youthful right-hander got an excellent game out ot his system holding the Little Rockers to seven scattered hits for the 10 frames. He was opposed by Rubber Jonnard, who also pitched good ball. allowing eight hits for eight innings and retiring from the game in the ninth to allow Ioo Sloan to pinch-hit for him.
 The travellers hopped away to one run lead in the first inning, when Frenick held his worst session. After he had disposed of the first two men to face him in the initial frame, Harry Harper golfed one to deep left field for three bases, and Baby Brown ham . lnered one over Emery's head in cen ter for three sacks, scoring Harper. Boil, however, was pie and after that Frenick grew more steady. and pitched q remarkable brand of ball when the crucial moments arrived.
