He Knew Something.

~ NE day In March Iris
Speaker visited Tampa and
~ saw the Griffs play some
National League team. He left
his team up at Lakeland, some
thirty-five miles away, just to get
a peek at what DOME Bush had.
Before he departed, he was asked
about his own outlook.
"We'll fool a lot of wise ones"
grinned Speaker. "We've got a
good ball club. This Lutszke, at
third base, is big Lacquer right
now, and Summa, playing in right
field, is going to take my place
some of these days. Guisto will
make American League fans for
get all about McInnis, and Stuffy
was a pretty neat firstsacker,
too.
Eyes, / know my, pitchers will
have to stand up, but they'll do
it. Uhle never looked better and
Edwards and Boone ought to help
out a whole lot. By the time the
veterans like Covey, Smith and
Morton feel like doing their best.
we'll have half a dozen first-class
pitchers ready for work."
That "Spoke" knew something is
shown by the flying start made by
the Indians. They hoped right
out and won nine out of their first
dozen games. They have been
getting excellent pitching, and
Lutszke, Summa and Guisto have
been tangled up with all the biz
doings ever since the bell sounded.

would not be making as many as

Connie Mack has had the in

Philadelphia, and unless the club
management cares to have its

Mack had no Interior motive in
placing the screens in position; in
fact, those bIeachers were an in
yiting target for Tillie Walker and
Bing Miller, pair of Mr.. Mack's
outfielders, during the 1922 season.
However, the Philadelphia leader
now has the satisfaction of put
ting an end to those trick homers
that cleared the low left-fieId bar

The Phillies in the National

Was Beloved Citizen Of This
County Many Years.

Mr.. Billy Moore, one of the most
respected and beloved men Of this
county died in Memphis Saturday
of last week, and his remains were
laid to rest at Yocona Cemetery
last Sunday afternoon.
Mr.. Moore was Well known, and
had lived to see many changes come
over the south from his youth. In
his lifetime, he was always chari-
table, and won to himself many
warm and staunch friends. His
charitable deeds are many, and his
deeds on this earth will always be
a monument to the life he lived.
Mr.. Moore raised two orphan
children in his lifetime, and these
have grown into mature years, with
the deepest love for him, always
respecting his goodness to them.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by Rev. John S. Thomas and
many friends went to the grave to
bay their last respect to this be-
loved citizen. The floral offerings
were many and beautiful.
To those who have known him
for these many years, his death is
a great shock, and his passing
away has caused a vacancy which
