Coming Back Home
 The Moleyian crew will re- turn to their own apple orchard to close out the season They will dock in Birmingham again Wednesday, following an ex- tended road trip, and will battle on their own baliwick until September IT, when the curtain will be rung down. Doc Silva will be lucky if he gets to partici- pate in another game before the. grand finale. Dock, however, will be able to get clearance papers from Little Rock hospi- tai in a few days. according to a wire received from Billy West. secretary of the club.
 Tex Rickard hns about reached the conclusion that life is one little indictment after mother. Tex has been indicted more times than he has fingers and toes, for smuggling the Dempsey-Carpenti pictures into New York state.

As a matter of fact, the bout was, scheduled, but has been called off. Patsey Haley, manager of White, writes me that the Montgomery promoters got to quibbling among them selves, and that Promoter F. V. Wright was informed / by the governor that the two men could not meet in Montgomery.
 Haley, in his letter to me, states that he has not been no titled by the American Legion committee that White would meet Bob Martin In Birming- ham on Ocotber 2S, but he adds that Joe is willing and anxious to come here and battle for the legion, and that it is perfectly agreeable to him if Bob Martin the American expeditionary forces champion. is selected as his opponent

Looks like the Peach might go over the 400 mark this season. as ne IS lm-y proving as the season wears away. rather than slumping. The Rambino is wallopipg the old pill for grand average or .aso or top of his great home-run spree.

 C"bb xvtl Not Quit
 Rumors have been going the rounds for me past few days that Ty Cobb was sick and dls- rusted over the miserable snow ing of his Tigers in the pen- nant race this season. ana would give up the managerial role and retire from the game after Nhe end of the present campaign.
 That sounds like so much tom myrot. I think Cobb has done remarkably well, considering his handicap. For years Jennings handled the Detroit club with several stand -bys. He was una ble to develop new stars. And
