Cp to yesterday no Eastern cl ib
had played a Western club.
So. as far as the records go, ev rv
elub in the Eastern division might
be stronger than any in the Western.
And Mobile, with all its lead, might
be able to finish no better than fifth.
Our private opinion is that the East
ern clubs may puncture the Gulls'
bubble.
The games of the next couple of
weeks will give us some real line on
what is to be expected.

it U believed Billy Smith will turn
him over to Montgomery.
The local hoy is said to itave re

h seems that Dobard was brought to
Atlanta and practically forced to sign

that he dreAv last year from the Day-

was violating the rules of baseball,

Removed it for a moment from his richly perfume! curis.
