 bat. Recalling how Heilmann, Ruth and other physical giants swing. you expect to sec this 30-year old rookie smash the ball to powder. Instead he takes an easy, three-qnarter swing and punches the ball accurately through the infield or over the in- fielders' heads, There is more science than savagry in his technique.
 Mack enthuses over Simmons, who is mere kid. Simmons will go to left field. replacing the veteran lilly Walk CT of home run note. Simmons can hit, field and throw" Mack tells you. He will be the talk of the American league this year." Mack had another kid outfielder who was the talk of the league last year, "Sparky" Matthews, but he blew with a deafening bang. 'Ihe Talk of the League"
 Mention that to Mack and he an- swers: Simmons is no fish. He couples ability with stability. He won't blow"
 simmons is everything that Strand, the other jew outfielder isn't. He is oiiis sNoiS olus a lliuSeL anu d IpT- rife swinger. Ruth doesn't swing any harder. You find yourself wondering what would happen 10 the ball if Simmons had Strands build, or Strand Simmons swing.
 Bishop, with five years of service on the Baltimore Orioles, is somewhat beyond the rookie classification. Bishop replaces Jimmy Dykes at sec- ond base. Dykes is the same player Cobb said would make the Tygers a club. Bishop gets the preference because he is thought to be the better hitter of the two, and l just as capable fielder.
 If these three men each come | within 30 points of their minor league i average my team will be in the race l all the way" predicts Mack.
 The 1924 Athletics, otherwise, are m unaltered lot.

NEGRO DROWNS
 AFTER RESCUING BODY OF FRIEND

TROY, Ala, June 24.-(Special. J. A young negro about g years old, named Shipman, drowned while with a party fishing Saturday near Faulks on Conecuh river. Shipman was fishing and while standing on the bank, slipped and went down into the water without sound. It was some time before his companions missed him and when he did not answer their calls, they came to the conclusion that he had drowned.
 Sunday a party of his friends were searching the river for his body and Willie Paul, a negro about 40 years old, was the first to see it. He jumped into the water and swan out to the body, secured it and brought it safely back to the shore. Just as he reached the banks of the river he seemed to give way and after placing the body on the bank fell backwards into the water, drowning before he could be rescued.

Why Do So Many People Purchase
 Drennen Used Cars

Because the motorist in buying used car from Drennen gets full value for his money. He gets a used car sold to him by a firm with a long and we'll merited reputation for selling only dependable used cars. He gets sound business investments; he finds that he has chosen the logical way of getting the most valuable return for the limited amount of money he is called upon to invest.
 Because of the fact that we are dis tributors for Cadillac and Buick cars, two of the most popular makes manu- factured, we are able to discriminate in the cars we take in trade; therefore you cannot buy better used cars, nor for less anywhere.
 We have been selling good used cars to the people of this district since 190s-we're still here and these same people when in the market for another car, come back to Drennen's. We built on so firm a foundation that buyers ask no better guarantee than "Drennen sold it."-Adv.

 land-COntest Close

W. J. Waldrop had a nine-vote lead over W. P. Copeland for fifth place on the board of revenue when the recount of ballots cast in the May primary was completed at 5 :45 o'clock Tuesday aft eraoon.
 This is unofficial, as the subcommit- tee of the democratic executive com mittee will not tabulate the returnes until Wednesday morning. However, independent checks on the recount w..ich were kept by watchers for both candidates showed that Mir. Waldrop had nosed out a victory.
 Some of the checkers expressed the opinion that the final tabulation by the subcommittee would give Waldrop lead of 10 votes. The Copeland check CTS said their tab placed the margin at nine votes.
 The recount brought to an end one Of the most spectacular contests yet staged in Jefferson county. Waldrop's ma iority was placed at 143 votes when the primary returns were consolidated in May, but Copeland and Dr. E. F. Pruitt filed contest. A recount was ordered. It came to an end Tuesday afternoon after II days or steady "orA by the subcommittee.
 Tt was nerve-racking contest, said Dr. R. F. Lovelady, chairman ot the executive committee. 'The members of the subcommittee, as we'll as Mir. Wal drop and MT. Copeland, are certainly entitled to a vacation.
 Waldrop and Copeland were in con- stant attendance on the recount pro ceedings. In the early days of the re- checking, they were often separated by a margin of less than five votes. Sev- eral times they were in tie. Three times Copeland took the lead, only to have it wrested from him when the next box. was counted.
 In advance of an official announce ment of the result by the committee, neither Copeland nor Waldrop would issue a statement.
 The recount officially closes the con test. and no further action will be talk en, Copeland's friends indicated.
