Avondals Mills presented a for midable attack at the Y. M. c. A last night and easily defeated the Mignon Mills outfit of Sylaoauga by scote of s7 to 1B. Tho visitors lacked the team work of the local city leaguers. As usual. DobyS Harrell was the offensive star of the game, although Whiteside and Campbell. his team mates. ran him e close race for SCOT ing honors. Campbelrs work at cen ter was excellent. The guarding of Afford, Howell and Heinbaugh was too much for the visiting forwards. Walter. who substituted for Simp- son at center, proved to be the star for Mignon Mills. He shot in four field goals. for eight of the visitors 15 points. Walter played an all- round good game while in the lineup. Remson and Tate were speedy and shifty. but missed several shots un- der the basket that should have been made. The work of the two guards, Graves and Stewart, was good at times, but every now and then liar rell or Whiteside would slip by them for a field goal.

Kane Is Coming Back
 Last spring Moley had on his list of rockies a youngster named Kane. This lad was just in his teens, but he was full of pep, and as the spring season progressed 1t developed that he was full of base hits as well. But Moley couldn't take chance on Kane, for he had the oppor- tunity of getting Pie Traynor. So with Taylor at third, Pie at short, Stuffy at second, and Dutch at first, there was really no place for the youngster on the Baronial club. As result, when news leaked out that the S10. 900 beauty had been purchased from the Pirates, the Baron officials an nounced that Kid Kane had been sent to the Meridian club of the Mississippi State league.
 The young phenom shipped out, and little has been heard of him since. However, when l learned Saturday that he was on Bir- mingham's reserve list and was coming back here for another trial this spring. l looked up his record in the Mississippi state league last year. To my astonish- ment. I found that the Baron youngster had led the circuit in hitting. That's one of the req sons Moley is bringing him back for another trial this spring.
 The records show that Kane, appearing in 91 games, slammed out the old agate for the grand average of .355 last summer, which Is recognized as some hit ting even in a loop of that classi- fication. Maybe We will hear more of him the. coming spring.

about to get going the next day. and then had sleuths to swoop down on Harper and place him under arrest for mutilating the costly tarpaulin An excessive amount Of bond was demanded, and it could not be made at the park. The cops called the wagon, and Harper got a ride to town.
 The villain smiled Boss Frank thought he'd pulled one of the most crafty deals of his career. He had put one of Little Rocks best offen- sive players out of the game.
 However. Harper made bond in little while after he had reached the Atlanta bastile, and he came back out for the second game of the double bill, as mad as a covey of hornets. What he did to the Dutchman's pitchers in that second game will be remembered for quite while by the Atlanta fans.
 Hit -332 Last Year
 While Harper failed to lead the league for the second consecutive season last year, he was up near the top of the league swatsmiths and quit the campaign with record any tosser would be proud of He hit sooN lOi tit SdibPei pdttltipdllHB in 147 games. at bat 539 times, scored 96 runs, made 179 hits for a total of 260 bases. Thirty-one of these safe swats were two-baggers. 3 were three -baggers and eight were home runs. He dumped out 10 sacrifice hits, and stole 32 bases. His nu- merous thefts show that he is a bear-cat for speed. and this will fit in well with Moleys scheme of giving the fans another speedy ball, club the coming summer.
 Harry Harper is no longer young ster, but at that he's many years the junior oi Dutch Bernsen, who was sold by the Barons this win ter to the Atlanta club.
 Put Liniment on Sore
 Every time the sabject of Harry Harper comes to my mind, I'm re- minded of funny incident that hap pened over in Atlanta in 1920 in con nection with Harper. He had pestif- crous foil on his thigh. It so hap pens that Harper is not much of connoisseur of medicine, and the boil was paining him so much that he asked pal what was good for a boil. The practical joker told him to rub some Sloan's liniment on it. and Harper innocently. applied the alleged remedy. Those who have ever had any dealings with this particular liniment know that it is liquid fire. After Harper had applied the lini- ment to the wound and took his place In right field the burning started. He paced up and down right field like lion in a cage. He frothed at the mouth. He cursed. He per spired. He missed two flies. When the inning was over Kid Elberfeld rushed over to the press box, and paged Dr. Auten. the Atlanta clubs physician.
 Dock, for the Lords sake, give me some vaseline, or something. That dam fool Harry Harper has put Sloan's liniment on an open sore and 1t has mighty nigh killed him.

Hatchet k Buried

It will be remembered that Stump Clarke and Moley had a little argument last summer. After the fists had subslded, Stump, Baron utility man. drew a suspension for the remainder of the season, and beat 1t for his home in South Carolina. At that time it looked like matters were so strained between Moley and Stump that the peppery utility man would never play for the Barons again. Time. if shaken well before using, heals alls wounds, however. and 1t now de- velops that Sumpter Clarke will be on the Baron pay roll again this year--through the spring. at least.
 When the Baronial reserve list was made public Saturday it was noticed that Stump Clarke's name appeared thereon. When l questioned Boss Quack anent this matter, he replied: "Oh. yes, those little flurries will blow over. you know. Clarke was sorry the thing had happened the minute after it was over. Since he has been back home he has written Moley several letters. and the two are on good terms again. as if nothing out-of- the way had happened"

 The rookie reported and Mo- ley was surprised to find that he was very young, very in- experienced high school kid After trying him out, he saw he wasn't ripe for this company, and he handed him the pink slip. The kid hung around town for week and spent a great deal of his time around baseball head quarters. Moley, out of curiosity. asked him one day: Why did that rascal recommend you to me. anyway?
 "The kid smiled, and then shamelessly replied: Well, you know the fellow is in the insur- ance business He found out I wanted to play ball, so he tdld me if I would take out a policy with his company he would get me a job playing ball. I scram- bled together the money for the policy. and he wrote you-that's all there is to it.

McGraws Great Drive.
Just here In baseball was in

a man by the name of McGraw,

in 1904-05, but it remained for 1911

first bid for the Hall OF Fame,

McGraw turned the trick neatly

by Boston in 1914. Then followed q
period OF pennant rotation in the
National League until McGraw re-
turned to impregnability with his

Jack Barry piloted the same team

took the remnants of the same col

a worlds title in 1918, although the
war had altered the personnel of the

Clarence Rowland, who won the
pennant and the world series with
a strong Chicago club in 1917, was
