NTA, Aug. 17.—Opiions giv- | en big us clubs in the spring gencrally alleviate momentary pain but sometimes return to plague hapless minor leaguc barons. Options and nothing else are re- sponsible for the cries of anguish now emanating from the camps of the Atlanta and Chattanooga clubs in the Southern association. | I klyn has an option on Hml Atlanta team and is almost certain to come along and take Rob Par- ham, the former Georgia Tech out- fielder, who is burning up the league with his heavy-hiiting. | This would cause the Hon. R. J. Spiller, owner of the Crackers, no little grief. Parham looks like a gold mine, not only to Spiller, but to a flock of big league scouts. However, the Atlanta president's suffering is mild compared to the owners of the Chattanooga club. The Lookouts gave the Phillies an option on the whole ball club. They can choose any player they like. The Phillies are in no hurry, but the Lookouts are. They have had overtures from. the Glants, the Braves, the Red Sox and the Dodgers about some of the young players now performing on Jimmy Johnston's team. The Red Sox have offered Grant Gills, the former Alabama foot- baller, and Bill Narlesky, for Herb Pyle, a Chattanooga pitcher, with a lot of stuff. John McGraw is interested Wally Dashiell, the Chattanooga ! second sacker and he has been dangling a lot of currency under the nose of the Lookout president. Brooklyn would like to acquire Al Dowtin, the North Carolina col- legian performing well at short and has offered Billy Rhiel, the infielder and Ray Moss, a pitcher, | in exchange. The Braves are willing to part with a sizable wad of cash for an- other Lookout whose name is not| revealed. - — Try a TOASTED SANDWICH Sl. the Juneau Ice Cream Pariors. adv | in] WATER REPELLANT CLOTHING A COMPLETE LINE IN EVERY CLASS OF WOOL, CANVAS OR RUBBER CLOTHING If you arc out-of-doors in the wet weather, come in, we'll keep you dry.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 17.— One sidelight on the lively ball question can be gathered from the averages, Pool and Minor, of the Nashville Vols, collective have hit 30 home runs this year. Most of these homers were hit at Sulphur Dell where the right field fence is so close that an ordinary fly ball is good for four bases. Much of the hop in the rabbit ball was put there by carpenters who built the fences around the parks.
