 The Washington Americans called Win Ballou, star pitcher of the Chat tanooga Loououts, into their fold dur ing thelatter part of the season to make, him eligible for the World se- ries. Used as relief hurler by Manager Harris, Ballou made a good showing.
 Among the other players purchas- ed by Washington is Charles Buddy" Meyers, shortstop of the New Or leans Pelicans, who this year came to the association from the Mississ- ippi Agricultural and Mechanical College.
 In a game at Little Rock, he ac- cepted eighteen chances without an error, establishing new record for the league. He also figured in a tri- pie play Shortly after being sold to 1 the American League champions, Meyers wa injured, but recovered in time to participate in the World series
 "Stuffy" Stewart, Birmingham sec- ond baseman, who stole approximate ly ffty-three bases during the sea- son; Tex Jeanes, heavy hitting out fielder, also of Birmingham; Cow boy" Jones, Mobile outfelder, and Lefty" Thomas, Nashville pitcher, also were purchased by Washington.
 The Pittsburgh Nationals recalled 1 George Haas, Birmingham outfelder and bought Alvin Crowder, pitcher on the same team.
 Brooklyn purchased Ray Moss and l Frank Kohlbecker, pitcher and catch CT respectively, from Memphis. Moss was given a trial by the St. Louis Cardinals several seasons ago. Thomas Jefferson Gulley, outfeld- f CT, who ranked second among the leagues leading batters, and Eddie McBee, leftIhanded Indian pitcher, were sold by Little Rock to the Chi cago Americans.
 1 Dan Michalove, president of the At | lanta pennant-winning Crackers, an- nounced he expected to see Nick Cullop, home run king of the league, and Franke Zoellers, both outfelders; Mike Gazella, shortstop, and Johnny Brock catcher, in theuniforms of New York Yankees next season.

''The Price of Pleasure" written es- pecially for screen production by FL izabeth Holding and Marion Orth, who have written some outstanding screen successes, is Virginia Valli and Nor man Kerry's next vehicle. It has it's first showing at the Liberty Theater tonight.
 The supporting cast contains some of the best known names in screen land, among them being Louise Fa- zenda, Kate Lester, George Fawcett, T. Roy Barnes, James o. Barrows and Marie Astaire. It was directed by Edward Solman.
 Miss Valli has the part of a shop girl whose greatest desire is for "Just one good time for full week" Sev- eral scenes of the picture are devoted to making realistic the life led by those thousands of young women, who without family ties, struggle to main tain themselves in decency as shop girls in big department stores in big cities, finding their sole social pleas ures in the restricted activities of a tenement boarding house.
 Some of the scenes of "The Price of Pleasure" were taken in a real de- partment store on a day when there was big bargain sale, with Miss Val Ii and others of the cast acting as saleswomen and waiting on real GUS toners.

reflected that it would be rather fun
