SUMP CLARKE, SELF MADE
 STAR, SOLD TO CLEVELAND INDIANS BY BARONIAL CLUB

flash, sudden to flare up and reckless of consequences, Sumter Clarke closed his first season In suspension. due to trouble with Manager MoIeswOrth on the Bar OnIaI bench. Then, last season, Sumter also finished the season fin citizen's clothing, as he had been given m indefinite suspen- sion for losing his temper and cutting aloOse with d peg at Rickwood that sent the ball hurting against the wire screen in front of the grandstand.
 CLARKE OVERCOMES TEMPER
 Sumter Clarke must be given credit for realizing his greatest weakness and making a genuine effort to overcome it. And dur ing the season just closing. there has been no better disciplined player in the league than Clarke. no man who stands up better under adverse conditions and holds his head in trying places any better than Sumter Clarke.
 
 Iris Speaker gets a valuable ball player in the Baronial star. Clarke can hit with any of them, and his bingles are not confined to infield taps and one-b base clouts either. Clarke is a leader in runs driven in. his clouts usually coming at opportune mo- ments.
 Afield, Clarke Is a reliable man. It was once said of him by one of the leagues veterans that once ball touches Sumter's gloved hand, it sticks there. His begging cut off many runners early in the season, until they all learned to respect the whip of Sumter Clarke.
 Sumter Clarke Is not n world bcater. He isn't even finished ball player yet. But Sumter Clarke realizes his shortcomings, and every day is trying to reme- dy those faults. When n man is as earnest n worker as Sumter Clarke, he is pretty sure to make good, md BarOnial fandom be- Heves Clarke will make good with the Cleveland Indians.
 As to the deal that sends Clarke to the Indians. 1t was an outright sale, for sum not dis closed. Clarke reports to his new bosses this month. at the close of the Southern league season.
 It was upon the recommenda- tion of Leslie Nunamaker, pilot of the Chattanooga Lookouts. that Iris Speaker purchased Clarke. During the recent inva- sion of the Barons of Lookout Vile. Sumter played like a fiend, and it was probably his showing there that prompted Leslie Nuna- maker to tip his former Cleve- land boss off to the hard work ing boy of Birmingham" Out fielder Sumter Clarke.

There are some who are just born good, and who attain great heights in their particular line of endeavor seemingly with no effort at all. Then there are oth- CTS who fall heir to no particu- lar talent, but by their own ef- forts and incessant labors, they finally attain success. It's the inevitable law of life that some shall be born good and that some must work for perfection, and the rule holds good in baseball as well as any other phase of life..s
 Sumter Clarke, three years regular in the Baronia outfield, is one of those who have been And today, after announcement by officials of the Birmingham club that Clarke has been sold to the Cleveland Indians. Sum ter Clarke stands forth as one of the greatest outfielders in the league-a self-made star.
 When Clarke came to Birming- ham three springs ago. he was a big, awkward boy, not long out of college, with an athletic rec ord behind him that spoke well TOT HIS future. buI oufHIeT was rather crude in his pastiming, and there were numerous rough places that needed smoothing over before Clarke could be called a ball player.
 For three years Sumter Clarke has pastimed with the Barons, always getting better and bet ter-as all self-made men do and from the first of the season he has been leading his mates ind hitting and fielding. The an- nouncement that Clarke goes to the Cleveland team comes as lit tie surprise to fandom. They knew he was going up, but, of course, his new bosses were un- certain.
