This Year

NE Of the most likely players turned up by n
Coast league club in the flag end Of the 1922
season was Carl Williams. the husky Texas
hurler. who was obtained from small league
in North Carolina by the Seattle Indians.
Williams certainly looked the goods in the
few games that he worked for the Indians,
hustling every minute. He had plenty Of
stuff and plenty Of nerve.
He handled himself like a veteran and
there wasn't any of the usual marks Of the
busher about his pitching.
Williams made great impression with
his business-like methods. He was continu-

But it's the player who combines natural

Take Ty Cobb. Eddie Collins, Christy

They were great natural players, but their
brains made them the stars that they
turned out to be.
Look at Babe Ruth, then. for example.
Nobody claims Ruth is brainy player. He's

TO OPEN NEW BANK

Considerable interest was evident In Ensley with the announcement that the merchants of Pratt City had prevailed upon the North Birming- ham Trust and Savings company to open a branch bank in that com munity. The banks in Ensley had formed the idea that they were serv- ing Pratt City interests in a definite way and were surprised at the report of the committee of J. M. Reynolds, a well-known Pratt City business man. It was stated that President Whorton of the North Birmingham Trust and his associates will confer further regarding the location being sought and that the branch may be opened within short time.
 The work of the Pratt City busi- ness organization has been definite and 1t Is stated that the program for the winter Is one which will be of considerable practical value to every merchant in that part of the city The influence exercised over the city commission has resulted in a promise for some municipal improvements badly wanted and there will be other forward steps taken during the next few months.

Assignment will be started by the local committee in charge of the clergymen and lay delegates attend ing the North Alabama conference, which meets here October 31.
