He was just a little awed by the commotion the Ijandis decision created. Landiit decision, which over ruled a league committee’s ruling louring ex-convicts from organiz ed baseball, drew a flood of congratulatory communications to Pitts and the Albany club. •‘I have my chance to make •»ood now,” Pitts said. “It is up to me.

The opposing pitchers are curving them now and Alabama will have to get in shape first." Chicago, June 18 —<U.R>— Judge Kenesaw Mountain lAtndls, high commissioner of baseball, in giv-
