To Captain Billy Southworth.
When he is ready to return to his
post in rightfield for the jaunty
| Braves?
Fans are asking this question at.
ter seeing Fred Nicholson play that
pesition-the sunfield in their hons
park. Until Southworth's legs cav
ed in Nicholson spent most of his
time on the bench. Now National
leaguers will tell you he is keeping
pace with George Burns, Ross
Young and the other old circuit
fielders
Tell this to Detroit and Pittsburgh
fans. The Tigers got the first crack
at Nicholson. After he had served
his baseball apprenticeship with
Hugo in the as-Oklahoma
league as starter md then with
Dallas, San Antonio and Dennison,
Detroit drafted him in the fall of
1915 but farmed him to Chattanoo-
ga without looking him over. He
played only few games with that
club and then was transferred to
Charlotte in the North Carolina
circuit, where he played 106 games
and slammed the ball at a 1908 gait.
Then Detroit recalled him, only
to send him to st. Paul for the 1917
season.
After the war the Tigers re-
leased him to the Pirates on
waivers. After playing in thirty
games as Pirate in 1919 he got a
fair chance in center during the
1920 campaign and in ninety-nine
games slammed the ball at a $3.50
gait and fielded well.
Last season Nicholson figured
in trade along with Billy South
worth, Walter Barbara and $15, 900
in cash for Rabbit Maranville, of
the Braves.
Nicholson is Sanger, Texas,
gent, and was born September /,
1894.

WAIT-HIM-0UT CHAMPION TO
leave THE Big LEAGUES
BY NORMAN r.. BROWN.

bA NOhMAN III BhO"N.
Oh. happy day for the wild
pitchers.
But sad one for the veteran
fans of the American league.
For Jack Graney, dean of the
Cleveland Indians. is to deport
from the big show-to manage the
Des Moines Western league club
according to word from Cleveland
Hes the hardest man in the
world to pitch to-" was the unani-
nous verdict of the hurlers re-
garding Graney. And he rightfully
earned that title. Twice did he
lead the American league batters
in drawing passes. Other years he
ranked among the leaders, injuries
keeping him from the game at
times and preventing him from
running up larger total.
And once on the bases he was q
dangerous man. He was fast and
heady.
Graney will tell you himself that
as a pitcher he became durn
good outfielder.
He began his baseball career as
a pitcher with his home town semi
pro team in st. Thomas, Ont, in
1905. The next year he played
with Fulton in the Empire State
league and his pitching attracted
the attention Of big league scouts.
The Cubs landed him but farmed
him to Rochester. His wildness
caused Rochester to let him down
to Wilkesbarre. Cleveland then
acquired him, but falling to cure
his wildness, sent him to Columbia
and then to Portland.
Then he was set on the road to
fame. The Portland bosses moved
him to the outfield during the 1909
season and he played so brilliantly
that the Cleveland club recalled
him. He became the regular sun
fielder in 1910 and held that berth
until 1920 with the exception of
two seasons when a right hand

I happened to know Graney
pretty well and know that his
greatest assets to the Cleveland
club were his personality and his
ready efforts to keep harmony on
the team under all conditions.
Graney has made hay while the
baseball sun shone. In off months
he has studied medicine and can
hang out his NJ. d. sign when his
baseball days are over. But a le-
gion of fans will want to see him
in the game in some capacity for
years to come.

RUSSIAN REFUGEES
| MENACE BULGARIA
Declared to Offer Problem
!, Although Bolshevism Finds
b No Fertile Ground.
NJ the Editor Of The Star:


The cable from Sofia, published this
morning by the Associated Press.
which reduces to some insignificant
scufles between communists ana
wranxel soldiers yesterdays fantas-
tic report about revolution in Bull
garia and the flight of the king.
makes It unnecessary for me to COM
ment at any great length upon your
editorial of yesterday on "Bulgaria-"
The number of Russian refugees in
Bulgaria is said to be 10000. all or
most of whom are ex-soidfers OF
wrangers army. On entering Bull
garia they were disarmed and re-
large number and the maintenance
of their military units. under the
avowed recognition of Wrangel as
their chief justify your remark that
, their presence In Bulgaria lis dis
turbing element" The danger lies in
sthe fact that Bulgaria is deprived by
the terms of the Neuilly treaty of an
. armed force, able to cope with this
disturbing element The treaty al
lows Bulgaria to maintain an army
1.-THE efforts of the Bulgarian govern
sment to raise this army. only $500
men so far have entered it. The rea-
son Of this Is that 81 per cent of the
population being farmers, owning
their land and homesteads, the volun-
teer system finds no response among
the people. 1t is all very well for
3Tchitcherin or the council of ambas-
teadors to ask the Bulgarian govern
mont ito proceed Immediately with
! the disarmament of the WrangeI
troops and the dissolution of their
military organization; but how is
this to be done when Bulgaria has
tnot sufficient armed force to carry 1t
iout, in case these Russian refugees,
abusing Bulgaria's hospitality, choose
to resist?
There is no danger of a communis-
ito government in Bulgaria in view
| OF the fact that an agricultural peo-
pie. who are landed owners. is not
vfsm. As to the proclamation of
republic in Bulgaria, there is practi-
cally no need of it, for under their
present ruler, King Boris. BuIgarians
enjoy the rights and privileges of a
free people. The popularity of the
king is so great that 1 believe even
the communists do not dislike him,
except in SO far as they are in prin-
ciple opposed to royalty. AS Mr..
Stambolisky is reported to have once
said, If Bulgaria should declare itself
a republic, no better man could be
found for its president than King
ing and imbued with the ideas of a
constitutional ruler, King Boris de-
clared- when he came to the throne,
that If the Bulgarian people should
express a desire for republic, he
only wanted to be its first citizen

Bulgarian Minister.
