Mr.. Bob Pigue, Sports Editor of the

lowing tribute to Monroe Mitchell,
formerly with the Mississippi Aggles,
and Memphis Chicks, but now with
the Atlanta Crackers:
Mitchell And Suggs.
Fans who had the idea that the
Chickasaws had snapped a sparrow
for turkey when they made the
suggs and Mitchell deal, have revised
their opinion since they saw Mitchell
in action against the champions here
last Sunday.
"suggs is a very fine pitcher, and
the Chicks were made stronger by
his acquisition, but memphis loSC ohe
of the most promising right-handers
and one of the brightest prospects
ever seen in the league when they
passed Mitchell over for the Cracker
off-sider.
Mitchell stopped the Chicks deat
in their tracks, and he did it witt
neatness and dispatch, turning then
back in fine fashion, showing control
courage and everything else that goe
to make up class A rifleman.
Mitchell is destined to bloom GU
as a great boxman."
