DE WANDERING poN IS

SOUGHT BY TONEY
Dis Gaebel no coma here yet
De guy from de biga legue club
We hopa dat heem we'll get,
Dey tell us he's far from a dub.
De scribe he hava exstacy,
When 'nouncer de new playa.
Tella us a star he'll he,
And will get here any daya.
De Baron he worry erluna
Win some er de games &c play.
But always we heara de song,
Dat Goebel is on de way.
We media dat guy, media heem bad,
And watcha for heem to come.
Daya by daya, no news is had.
We looka in vain for some.
De riVa may com, de riva may go
And dat will go on forever.
Tella us many de ting dat is so,
OF Goebel, nuthin whateva.
At that. Joe Dunn stated Mon
day night that he really Is eN-
pcctins Outfielder Goebei to land
in the BnrOmiai fold before long.
III don't see any reason why ny
Cobb shouldn't send GOebcl here.'
asserted Dunn. I'VE can use 4
corking good gardner. of course.
and we are hoping that Cobb will
speed the process up and send
GOebel ON. For the present. I
cant say for sure just when he
will arrive II ever, but we ARE
looking for him before long,
Just back from an eight day .
trip to the Gulf coast, where his
team lost five and won three
games. Joe Dunn is feeling pretty
good over the outlook. The Bar
ons are rounding to mid-season
condition, that is very evident,
while the pitchers are beginning
to turn in most creditable per-
formances.
Two of the games lost on the
trip south were dropped by one
run margins, more hard luck than
any thing else. Dunn's hurlerS
gave him some excellent pitching
on. that trip, and Red Cox kept
up the good work Monday in the
opening game with the Chicks.
1t was common gossip over the
league that Joe Dunn had the
best pitching staff in the league
during spring training, but the
boys failed to show much to start
off with, and the anvil chorus be-
gan it's work. During the past
week or so however, the boys
have come around. and Dunn now
seems to have several reliable
nurlers he can use.
Morrison, WhitchilI. Stewart,
Cox and Bates have all eivcn ex-
celIcnt service lately, and ii
seems that the battle for the
sixth position ON the pitching
staff rests between Bill Gray and
Tom Daniels. Neither one of
these youngsters has been able TO
show much this spring, but Joe
Dunn Will try them further he
fore making any changes In his
pitching staff.
Red Bates will draw the second
assie nment against the Chicks,
Manage, Joe Dunn announced
Monday night. Red pitched some
good ball against Mobile, and
Dunn IL expecting him to show
something against Johnny Dobbs'
Memphinns.

ing it's danger signal far and
wide, Red fights his first battle
at the Birmingham a. G.. in sew
eral weeks Monday night. and the
fiery battler has few plans ne
expects to carry out then.
Here's what Red has to say
about it:
you can say for me that Mon
day night will be the acid test
not for me, but for the boxing
fans of Birmingham. On the out
come of that fight will depend
much of my future in boxing
here.

given the best that was in me,
but never have l really drawn a
good house. l don't know why II
1t, but the fans just havenc
turned out for my bouts. The
very write-ups you, yo1csef.
