UNUSUAL INTEREST
IN ENGAGEMENT

Because of the universal popu-
larity of the bride-elect, the an
.nouncement of the engagement Of
Miss Melva Clark and Mr.. Hamilton
Holt is centered with cordial inter
est, not only in Americas, where
the bride has resided for a number
of years, but throughout Georgia,
where she has visited extensively,
her exquisite voice giving pleasure
in public as well as to individuals.
Miss Clark began her musical ca
reer under Mrs. Armand Carroll,
graduating in piano, afterwards 60
ing to Brenau where she studied
voice and pipe-organ for several
years. Later she attended the Gin
cinnati Conservatory Of Music,
graduating in voice, and was
member Of the exclusive Sigma AL
pha Iota musical sorority. Last
summer Miss Clark took a special
course at the Chicago Musical col
lege, under Oscar Saenger.
The civic clubs of Americas have
been beneficiaries of Miss Clark's
gracious services, she having con-
tributed to their program in this
lefty, and winning honors in Other
.vicinities through her participation.
Every church in Americas has
been recipient of her talent. she
having been organist as we'll as
soloist for the pas several years.
At present she is soloist at the
First Baptist church, her programs
drawing large congregations at
morning and evening services.
1t is gratifying to her large cir
Gle of friends and acquaintance to
know that her marriage will not
deprive the community of her resi-
dence, but that she and Mr.. Holt
are to be affiliated with the social
circles in which she is now ex-
ceedingly popular.
A series of pre-nuptial events
will lead up to the marriage cere-
mony which will take place at the
home of he bridge, and much in
terest is felt in the wedding plans.
Mr.. Holt is originally from Co
lumbus and is prominently con-
nected throughout the state. He is
young man of splendid business

While Speaker will not come right
out and predict a great season for
Cleveland. we know he is figuring on
just that thing. He has volunteered
this much in the way of predictions:
Barring accidents and providing we
get our share of the breaks, we are
going to make il good and hot for
whoever wins the right to represent
the American League in the next
world series"
Now Spoke is not the kind to en-
thuse over anything unless there is
really good cause for such feeling.
But we know he is rally enthused
over Cleveland's chance in the COM
ing race. He doesn't show his enthu-
siasm by preaching about the excel
lent chance for his team this year,
but where he does show it is right
out on the practice lot every day.
Iris himself has never worked hard
er for any campaign than he is work
ing for the approaching one
Condition Is Satisfactory.
Speaker is well pleased with the
progress of his men and looks for his
team to be the best conditioned out
fit in the American League when the
playing season opens.
Here is the way the Tribe will line
up and bat in the opening game:
Jameson, left field: Wambsganns,
second base; Speaker. center field;
Guisto, first base: Summa, right field;
]. Sewell, short stop; Lutzke, third
base.
In this group we find three new
men. They are Louis Guisto on first,
Walter Lutzke at third, and Homer
Summa in right And it is upon the
form displayed by these three that
much of Cleveland's success depends.
Guisto has been with Cleveland
several years, but this is his first as
the Tribes regular first-sacker sue
ceeding Stuffy McInnis.
Guisto always has been a great
fielder. His hitting, however. has
never been anything to become ex
cited over.
But Speaker always has contended
that Louis would develop into one of
the best right handed batsmen in the
league If given the opportunity to
work regularly. And he gets that
chance this year, and, further than
that. Spoke has shown what he

And while it is these three who

crosses very far.
Wyatt Valuable Acquisition.

Cleveland paid Milwaukee $4,000 Is
the first backstop Cleveland has had
in twelve years who ever can be CON
sidered a contender for Steve O'Neili's
Job. Myatt proved last year that IL"
is hitter of much ability by leading
the association batsmen with a $40
mark.
And that's not all of the youngsters
for Speaker has six young hurlers
who he intends to carry all year. OF
the new ones, George Metevier, WHO
won eighteen and lost seven games
for Jersey City, appears the best. He
started two games for Cleveland in
the last week of 1922 season and won
both: He is a right-hander.
Other young hurlers who will get i

Under no circumstances. That again
brings up the point to which refer
ence has been made in regard to the
lack of propriety on the part of the
scorer i'll assuming that the game
shall be played as he thinks it should
( be played In other words. the scorer
assumes the right to say that his
opinion is the basis of scoring and
not what actually takes place in front
of him.
Must Judge Plays On Meritz
If a fielder does invade the terri
tory of another and takes away a
ground hit or fly hit which it seems
for the moment he should, not have
tried TO handle. the scorer has moth
ing to do with the play except to put
is down as one perfectly made. if it
is perfectly made. If it is not per-

do too much carries it's own. punish
Rent. because he is bound to be
scored with an error 1t would be
impossible, however, to give him an
error and correct play on the same
play.
For instance. if the left fielder took
away fly ball that the center fielder
undoubtedly might have caught with
ease, how would it look to give the
left fielder put-out, which is a cor
rect play and also an error. 1t could
not be done because there would be
book than actually were made on the
field. You know a score should al.
ways balance. When you are finished
with it the result should come out
that it doesn't always come out that
way. but that is because mistake
has been made somewhere BY the
scorer.
every tendency to record the game
as he would have it played. If the
fielders make mistakes of judgment
they are not to be introduced into the
score unless they combine with them
mistakes of play. Then they always
however, but one error must be re-
corded There cannot be an error
because it didn't look as If the
fielder made the right play and also
play right There is much difference
between the two.
No Errors I'm Earned Runs.
Very often the shortstop is embar-
rassed because the third baseman
gets in his way. If misplay fol-
lows and it is evident that the third
baseman is responsible for it, the
the play is correctly made the third
baseman must not be given an error
because he did interfere. No error
took place. The batsman reached his
base in a fair manner and by earning
it and if an error were introduced.
because the scorer thought the third
baseman should not, have got out of
his position, the pitcher would get
the benefit of it because he would
escape, perhaps, a run being earned
against him. No runs can be earned
Fin which errors are responsible in
any way for the batter getting safely
around the bases on legitimate
chances.
