Aitchison Eyes Record as Southpaw Hero of Montgomery Bills
AITCHISON, the big southpaw of the Montgomery Billikens, is hot after the season record set by Al Demaree. He’s won ten games, lost one, and tied one while taking seven straight starts, prompting comments on his past Georgia and Nashville links and the Vols’ past recruiting. The piece also notes Atlanta’s debut party for new Crackers players at Ponce de Leon and roster shuffles involving Cad Coles, Piggy Aige, Joey Bills, and Harold Johns as various teams adjust for upcoming Southern League play. It mentions Marse Gawg Stovall’s Browns and Carl Ray’s Winston Salem three-win run, plus Dabha’s push for Earl Syke.
