Protected Territorial Rights Taken
Away From Agents, n Report

A representative OF the Ford Motor
Co. sales department was in Crystal
Falls last week looking over the city
for the purpose OF placing an agent
here. For a number OF years the
Ford rights 90 Iron county have been
held by Lindwal g. Lindstrom OF Ir-
on River. The fact that the represen-
tative was seeking TO place an agent
here made The Diamond Drill repor-
ter curious. SO, We ask for the idea.
He informed us that the policy OF
the Ford sales department will
change Jan ], 1921 and that after to-
day there will be no protected terri
tory Lindwall a. Lindstrom will no
longer have Crystal Falls as protect
ed territory. A new agency will be
started here, II someone can be found
who will satisfy the Ford sales de-
partment
He gave as his reason for the
change the claim that exclusive ter
ritorial rights have led the Ford agen
cies in great many places to give
service that the Sales Department
thinks is not up TO standard. For
that reason all territory will be open
TO accredited agents and competition
will keep all local agencies on their
toes.
Crystal Falls has been one example
OF the neglect of Ford car owners.
No sub agency was maintained here
the past year by the agents having
the rights in this county and as a re-
suit there has been lot OF complaint
from this section. The representa-
tive claims that IL IS 10 remedy just
such conditions that the new plan
has been adopted.

With his original lineup. with very few changes The men donning Ba : ronial uniforms each afternoon fought under Moley's standards two months ago, with the exception of d pitcher or two, secured outside the Southern league.
 It is certainly a credit to the chubby pilot of the Barons that he can maintain his team up in the thick of the fight with the same team that he started the season with, that is, the same lineup. It is not the same team, for improvement shown by the Barons during the last six weeks or so has been the talk of tne league.
 f. Peis vs. Barons \ Birmingham fans are about ready to concede the pennant to the Chick s Abbott and his Tribesmen have too great a lead to be overtaken in the short time that remains. But tre battle between the Pels and Barons for second place will be waged until the end. Eveh with the cards stacke ed against them, Moley's men can be counted upon to fight until the last against their foes.
 At that, the Barons are not out classed by the Pels, regardless of re- cent purchases. etc.

Jack Brady Meets
 Young Starlight
 m Bessemer Soon

Jack Brady has two fights in the near future that will probably be enough 10 keep him busy awhile. The first of these bouts is 1o-round af- fair between Brady and Starlight and will be held at Bessemer On their last meeting. Brady put the "kayo" on the Indian in four rounds. and ever since that time Starlight has been doing his "derndest'' to explain how that fight was just a little trick |of fate and not the ac- tion of Brady's mitts or brain either
 On the other paw, Brady cones right back with the assertion that there was nothing unusual about his fight with the Indian, and he states that if any one wants proof of this he will be glad to give public demonstration. The two husky pugs have put their battered domes to- gether and have decided to have t out on Thursday night. The fisnt ought to be good as Brady is ex- tremely anxious to prove that his victory was not luck. while the "b, < chief' is just about as anxious to prove that he is master of any thing that they raise in Bessemer around his weight.
 After he gets the Starlight affair off his mitts. Brady IS going dow,s to Montgomery, and on August 26 he will meet Young Striblng, the Macc n Kid. This is just about the tough : est assignment that Jack has had since he collided with F'reddi e Boorde. and he Is going to have to move around the ring al some speed unless he wants to be introduced to the mule Kick that Mir. Stribling packs around in his two paws.
 Bessemcr not only boasts of several pugs. but also a heavyw vel ght wrest- Ter in the person of Red Schrimps cher. Red is going to meet Jack Ross soon and he ana Brady are do- ing all Kinds of stunts every day at West Lake so that each may get i1 condition.

Proxy smiths Viewpoint

Proxy smiths Viewpoint
 Col. Quack Smith has com pletely recovered from his recent illness. Recovered sufficiently to render an opinion about base ball problem in the south, at least And when man gets to handing out opinions. it's a pretty safe bet that all misery and malady has decamped. The col onel spoke a mouthful Monday in regard to the sale of Don Brown to the Memphis club,
 T believe rule will be passed at the next session of the league directors, which will run up the time on sales by one club in the league to another club. said Mir. Smith "I don't believe it looks good for a weak club to sell it's stars and strengthen an other club this late in the sea son.
 The Colonel is exactly right about it. August at least should be named as a date, with the proviso being made that no club could buy or borrow from another club in the league after that date. The major leagues have rule that the inter-swap- ping and selling cannot be made after this date. or maybe it is a little earlier In the summer.
 Pels Are Kicking
 In the meantime, the Pels. who have the pennant bee buzzing in their bonnets. by virtue of their atA ArNC and also because of the fact that they are nestling in second place, are raising a kick over the trans fer of Brown to the Chicks.
 Dobbs' men really have a lot of nerve in thus condemning Abbot's move, however, for they have been pulling the same sort of stuff, though it happened earlier in the season. Dobbs ob- tained Bogart from the Vols, and the acquisition of this man strengthened his team wonder fully.
 Friends Greet Gil
 Friends of Coach Gil Myers. who looked after the football and baseball fortunes of Central High / school the past year, were busy greeting him Monday. Gil IS Tn town with the Pelicans, and his many local admirers had the pleasure of seeing him do the back stopping in Mondays game. Hank Deberry is out of the game with an injury, and Myers is doing all of the catching for the Birds now. and is getting away with the job in grand style. 
 Three-cOruercd Race
 The Barons are staging little base e-running contest among themselves, now. Spoke Emery stepped up nearer select com pany Monday when he stole his fortieth base, My what a great assortment Of speed demons.

sible for the Crescent City's victory.
 Until only short time ago Bogart was a Vol, now he is Pelican. se- cured by Johnny Dobbs ostenslbly to strengthen hls team for the bitter bat tie along towards the latter part of the season. How Bogart has strength ened the team may be judged by the Pelicans wonderful showing during the past week or two.
 Chicks Seek Cover Also
 Then Memphis has also dug down in the old family till in an effort to cinch the Southern league pennant. Don Brown, about the best hitter the Travellers had and one of the best outfielders in the league, was pur- chased from the Little Rock club by weak spot in the whole Chick ma chine, and no reason why they shouldn't win the pennant.
 It was to prevent such buying oi pennants and positions that Southern league moguls a few years ago passed a rule that there could be no buying and selling of players among the league clubs within 30 days of the close of the season. Both players named above were bought by their respective clubs just within the time limit.
 Recalls Franks Deed As w. c. Foster. sporting editor of the Chattanooga Times, Yin comment ing upon the matter, says it Is taking the sport and glory out of winning the pennant Foster comments on the matter in detail, finishing up his lit tie spiel by recalling the instance of years ago when Charlie Frank, then managing the New Orleans club turned over Bert Maxwell, one of his best pitchers, to the Birmingham club to help the Barons along in the pen nant race. The Pels that year had a lead over the other clubs almost as big as the Chicks have now, and Frank sacrificed one of his strongest and best pitchers in order that the race might become closer and more interesting Foster winds up his mar rative as follows:
 Frank. in his somewhat unques- tionable procedure to tighten up the race, was looking to the interest of the whole league as well as his own and showed that he was not afraid to face the music of a battle on fairly even terms, whereas Watkins is sac- rificing everybody's interest but his own and probably his own as well.
 We confess to an admiration of Abbott early in the season, but we are losing faith in him rapidly, as he shows that he is unwilling to give battle to other managers with teams equal in individual ability, but has to have his club owner go out and buy him team 50 per cent superior be- | fore he can win pennant"

SHIFTY LOGAN TO- MEET HARRINGTON
 AT B. A. (. MONDAY
Memphis Boxer Comes to Birmingham With Pretty
 Good "Rep"
By MARVIN MCCARTHY

Birmina ham boxing fans will have an opportunity of witnessing one of the shiftiest of Dixie's ,welterweight in action yhere Monday night when "Shifty" Logan of Memphis meets the Magic City veteran, Dummy Bar rington, at the Birmingham Athletic club Monday night.
 Logan said by authorities whe have seen him in acton to be 2 miniature Jack Dempsey, is posses sor of peculiar shift all his own from which he gets his nickname "Shifty" Logan. N&
 Harrington has met some might, good men lately. and has weathered each storm with ease. In going UT against Logan Monday, Dummy i' perhaps not meeting as good mar as Sailor Blanque, Dummy Mckinny or Jake Abel, but he is neverthe- less. a dangerous opponent for any welterweight in< the south. Logan is liable to land a solid smash at any moment when he is in the ring, and when he does the chances are that his opponent will kiss the canvas for a few moments at least.
 In addition to the Logan Barring ton fight, there will be several gooo prelims, followed by a good semi final bout between Charlie DeRose little featherweight who made sucf favorable impression in his firs' fight at the B. A. c. short time ago. and some opponent to be picked later.
 Tommy Tompkins. B. A. C. boxing impresarrio, was around to tall things over last night, and he con fided to the writer that he may have a big surprise for local bugs along towards the end of the week. Ina was all he would say, but he made it plain that his surprise had some thing to do with boxing and lat who was at one time q big favoritt locally.
 The Abel Harrington fight isNstii in the making. B. A. c. officials fee that in sending Burlington agains Abel they are taking an importah step in the career of the local vel terwelght. Abel was available 10
 Monday nights card. but somehov the idea didn't set well with 5. A. ( officials.
 After Barrinstons fight with Lo gan Monday night the matter will b' thoroughly threshed out, and it ma be that local fans will get e chanc'
 to see the famous Jake in actioi after all.
