MEMPHIS PLAYERS SLATED FOR MAJOR
 LEAGUE POSITIONS

Connie Mack once broke up his great old Athletics because they were too good for the rest of the league.
 Down in the Southern Associa- tion, J. Thompson Prothro, erst- while dentist and major league infielder, faces the same sort of proposition as manager of the Memphis Chicks. The only dif- ference is that Prothro will not deliberately smash his machine. The major leagues are about to do it for him in the process of graduating his stars for next sea- son.
 Prothro has one of the most colorf,u collection of players the Southern has glimpsed in some years and they're heading the race with apparently little chance of being caught. He has leaders in pitching, hitting, running and winning ball games in general and the others have found 1t mighty hard to stop such as com bination.
 Peck Hamel the young center fielder of the Chicks. occupies a promiennt position on the ban. ners outside Doc Prothro's side- show. He's been leading the league in hitting for weeks, mer- rily gathering an average of 400, and doing it in a league where pitching always is the highest or- der. A teammate, Andy Reese, once of the Giants is his nearest competitor and he's some 15 points to the rear,
 Joe Hutcheson, another Mem- phis outfielder who batted .380 in 1880 and 1909 last season, is batting around the .36O mark. He Is southpaw batter while Hamel swing normally, giving Prothro an ideal slugging combination.
 Ex-BrOwn Blaxes
 Brilliant Trail
 Walter Beck, righthanded pitcher, who once had trial with the St Louis Browns Is blazing his way back with q bril- liant brand of pitching. He had won 15 and lost three and famed 77 batters when the {. latest offi- cial averages we're released.
 In spite of the fact tlsat Beck is no novice at chunking base balls. he won't be 2S until October and age means little if man can win. Beck Is taking his work very seriously and is generally re- garded as the most effective righthander in the circuit. Tom Davis, a 23-year old right handler with six. feet of height and 190 pounds of heft, had won seven and lost four for the Chicks during the first half of the race and appears to be one of tho most promising performers in the midst of the Memphis galaxy. Clarence Griffin. the little southpaw. has made a remarka ble comeback. the veteran recently winning nine straight games. His return to form has been one of | the main reasons for the success | of the Chicks. and he has fitted in perfectly with the younger stars who are in their primes. Joe Engel has his Lookouts pressing on the heels of the Chicks. but the critics around the circuit say it's all too much to ask anyone to overtake the Pro- thro crowd. which seem6 to be doing everything right.
 Prothro. himself. is not im- muno from the inroads of the majors for the sports writers claim he Ia one of the smartest,
 most aggressive pilots tn the league. He has q great record
 with the only team he has ever managed. being in his fifth year at the helm and finishing as low as fourth only euee. He has won
