(Baseball Writer for The Memphis Commer cial'AppraM It*a an awfully nice thing to travel with n !>n!l team that la knocking tar out of Hub* In the ritlra visited. It's another thing to travel with n losing club. But when you got on the road with a small baud of earnest workers whose losses of the day liefore are buried with the past and nil thoughts turn to the task laid out the present day’s work, there's a feel ing akin to brotherly love for the boys working hard to win. The recent losses encountered by Babb's lK»ys on the road are not to lie woudered nt. There never waa a team from the (Hants down, nor yet a player of even the IsOjole or Wagucr type, that didn’t have, n dark day. But the silver lining of dull losing clouds Is iMMind to make Its nppenr- ann* nt the proper time. On Southern diamonds there are two fields that stand oat preeminent, Piedmont park nnd lied Kim park arc the two. Sodded Infield end grassy outfield present pleasing and restful pictures to the tired ball play ers’ eyes nnd the glare of a burning sun Is offset. Ollier diamonds around the circuit are "sktuued" and the suu Is mirrored In the white rands nboost as vividly aa It would Ik* In n looking glass. The heat nnd glare worries playera from Atlanta nnd Memphis who ore used to their emerald surroundings. But there are other drnwlmcka more serious and one In par ticular. The umpire!
