== News and Notes ==
* The Memphis Southern League Club has sold Outfielder George Rhinehardt to the Knoxville Club of the South Atlantic League. In 1925, his first full year as a member of Memphis, Rhinehardt had a batting average of .303 and ranked second in fielding with an average of .951. He is the sixth Memphis player to be assigned to Knoxville within a month's time, the others being Fritz Werber, Goldie Holt, Leonard Harline and Williams and Bates, two pitchers bought from Corinth of the Tri-State League and sent to Knoxville without having a tryout with Memphis. - ''The Sporting News'' - February 4, 1926, page 8== P
