The Case Of MT. MeDerm0tt
 The thing doesn't stop with Kelley. There's Red McDermott. frinstance. Vars and vars ago Red played baseball for Billy Smith in Atlanta. Later he played with Memphis and Nash vile. Then ol' Red went to the Virginia league, where he again played for Billy Smith. Then Boss Smith got an ivory hunting job and Red went elsewhere. When Billy Smith took over the reins at Shreveport Red went down there and worked for him awhile. and then drifted over to the Cotton States league.
 The Jackson club needed a manager and Red told 'em that he was it. He was. Under his di- rection the team took on new life. and so did Red. As matter of fact he played such good ball that the Atlanta club of the Southern league decided that It wanted Red to play third base. So, after years away from Class A baseball and after having been relegated to the baseball scrap heap Red Is purchased and car ried to Atlanta to play third base.
 Fact that he has been a man ager for some time, and fact that Atlanta needs manager, makes some of the fans view the deal with a significant expression. Roy Ellam failed. Bill Rariden failed, and now Dutch Bersen is falling as manager of the Crackers. Maybe after all there was nothing to the rumor that Carlton Molesworth would be in the saddle in Atlanta next year. Possibly the Atlanta moguls have purchased Red McDermott with the idea in mind to give him complete charge of the Crackers by the time the race gets started in the spring of 1923.
 Not Through Yet
 Hold on, fellers. Those are not the only two cases of re- juvenation. Chet Torkleson was born again, baseballically speak ing. Chet is the freckled ath- lete with the funny face, who used to convulse Southern league fans with. his comic capers on the coaching lines while with the New Orleans club. Chet was also good pitcher, but he had one bad habit Hesliked to joy-ride. An automobile turned turtle vita Chet between suns one evening and the sorrell-topped pitcher was laid up in the hospital for some time. When he got out of the sick house Johnny Dobbs tied on a tin can and sent Red over to Mobile.
 Mir. Torkleson could not prove effective in a Mobile unie and finally he drifted down to the Texas league where he was given the gate this summer. Chet drifted over into the Cotton States league and pretty soon he was appointed manager of the Vicksbufg outfit of that loop. He started to making good with rush as 8 manager, and also be- gan turning in one, two and three hit ball games. No announcement has been made as yet that Red has been sold to Southern league or major league club, but with a knowledge of what hap pened to Frank Kohlbecker and Red McDermott fresh in their minds. fans are keeping their eyes glued to the sport sheets and looking for announcement.

BESSEMER

Bessemer, August 8.-fSpeciaD.- Notwithstanding the raia that fell at intervals als-throughout the day Besse- mer voters went in crowds Tuesday to the polls to cast their votes in the democratic primary.
 At 8 o'clock when the polls were opened crowds were ready at the va rious boxes to vote.- The sun shone bright in the city for about an hour only after the polls weer opened and during that time large vote had been cast. Two boxes in the city hall, one In the fire department, and one in the council chamber drew per- haps the largest number of voters. and went at these boxes and the hearty good humor that prevailed among voters and among candidates was a noticeable feature of the elec- tion.
 The county court house where four boxes were stationed was crowded all day. In the main lobby was bureau of information in charge of four young women of the court house force. who directed the voters to their respective boxes. this being change from the regular voting places in the city.
 The women did not fail to vote, except, some. in the rural sections, who were deterred by the rain. Age did not prevent them. Numbers with white hair were among the most jealous to use their privilege of vot- ing. Conspicuous among the women at the polls was little woman who has worked hard in the interest of her brother who is a candidate for one of the county offices. Suspended around her neck from ribbon was framed photograph of the candi- date. A last reminder and mute ap- peal.
 Owing to the length of the ticket and second choice votes, complete returns from the Bessemer boxes will hardly be available tonight, though from the smaller precincts re- turns may be had.

CAMBRIDGE. Nd, Aug. 5.-The
Tri-County Fair came to close with
the auto races held yesterday. The
races were marred by an accident
in the finale event but all OF the
drivers escaped injury.
At the start of the ten-mile free
for all, Bob Patterson, who was
lighting for the lead in a Dodge,
struck inside rail around the track
and swerved in the middle OF the
course. In an attempt to avoid Pat
terson, Strickler, who was runner
up at the time, went over on the
embankment on the outer OF the
edge of track breaking his axle and
causing other minor damages to his
car.
The other entries in the race, who
were behind Patterson and Strickler
at this time passed through the mix
up without striking either of two
machines. The race was started
again as soon as the track could
be cleared with The distance reduced
TO five miles, Brown winning after a
tough race with Tony.

BACHARACHS in
Town MONDAY
Second of Five-Game Series
With St. Thomas to Be
Played
HAWK HAYES WILL
LIKELY TWIRL

st. Thomas and the Bacharach
Giants will be all primed and set
when Monday afternoon rolls around
for the play-off OF the second of
their five game series.N postponed
from several Saturdays ago on ac-
count OF the rain. The Saints
grabbed the first contest which was
also halted by moist conditions but
1t is the hope OF both managements
that they can go through the full
nine innings of a regular contest
this time.
AT the last meeting between the
two clubs the game ended at a
rather dramatic moment. In the
third inning the Bacharachs had
sent three runs across and then in
the fourth st. Thomas had three
men on base with Hawk Hayes. one
Of the most formidable hitters
around these parts waving his me-
nacing mace in the face OF Wheeler
on the mound for the Giants. The
threatening dowDpour was unleash
ed at that anti-climax moment.
1t is more than likely that Hawk
Hayes will get the assignment to go
back against Dick Lundy and his
cohorts. Who Sir Richard will send
to the mound is rather doubtful as
the Bacharachs have been away
from these parts for more than a
week, meeting with success on their
southern tour. According to the
meagre accounts of the games
reaching here the Giants have sign
ed up several new men for their
staff.
The record-breaking crowd to at>
tend a ball game in several seasons
Is expected, for in the first place the
rain checks from the last game be-
tween the two clubs will be honored
and also an added attendance can
be expected.
Delegates attending the Catholic
Young Mems National Union an
nual convention which opened here
Today have been invited to attend
he game and will no doubt attend
n body. The st. Thomas club is
closely afiliated through a large
OF its membership with
he union.
The third game OF the series be-
.ween the Saints and the Bacha-
'achs is scheduled for next Satur-
lay at Harlan Field.
