Pop Hamsey who singled In the second inning, hsd reached first on him. In the eighth, how- e ver, he weakened for a moment artd the Bulldogs bunched two hit* with an error and scored the two rims which tied the count, Mercer having tallied one run In each the J ond and third Innings.

In other words with the first three Innlngr thrown out, Andy pitched a no- hlt game. Andy also starred at the bat, driving In the, two tying runs In the eighth.- The Baptists shoved their flret courtier over the pan In the second inning.

BULLDOGS TIE SCORE The Bulldogs didn't have a pos sible chance to boots until the eighth inning, since Mr. /Stone put them out In ordsr In evtry Inning, save one, when Ramsey singled with one out.' But in the eighth thc Athenians rallied gallantly and tallied a couple of times. To start th® inning off, Ramsey Allied out.

They really do no harm, and on thc other hanl, help to fill in space on the snorting sheet, causing heated t arguments nnd affords the writers making the selection an. opportunity to dis play their ignorance. The writers Idom see nil the players in ac tion and their picks are coptrclled in no small measure by the num ber of press agents each player has pulling for him. In picking an all Southern team this year we are only choosing from colleges In the S. Ii C. and 8 .1. A. A. divisions. Trinity has one of initial hassock we have seen, which.south that are outstanding play is saying a lot with McCullough, this season and has picked an All- Rnsenfelt, nnd Shirley of N. C. all Southern team for the Banner- top notchers, battling him for the place. "J. D." is the most danger- iff./. hitter barring none In college ball and the proper man to place, we think. In clean up position In the bfitting order. Ed Shirling of Auburn finisher his four years of college ball this season. He has always been e very colorful player and a great hitter and will always be remem bered by the fans of Athens by rea- of a fluke home run he hit against Georgia at Sanford Field in 1921, earns being a puny fly that Fitts misjudged. Yes, he can play Right Field on our side. Kuhn of Vanderbilt looks to be the best short fielder seen her* since Aldrich of Yale performed Sanford Field. He is a good hitter, very fast, and covers a lot of territory. Allen of Georgia: Jennings of Tech; and Allen ot Auburn are better than the ordinary college short stops.

Burch of the military de partment has located a place that he states vroul(^ bo nn Ideal place for a polo ground. The field Is 900 by 300 feet just beyond the General hoapltal. Thlr ground hns all the necessities of a good polo ground Including a good drainage. All that Is noy needed is money to begin work on the new polo grounds. An appeal has been made to th4 athletic as soclatlon of the- university o Georgia for thla money. A field was started last year down at Bantord dell, but could not be used as, the drainage was too bad. This ground has been turned Into a parking ground. For three years MaJ. Burch has been trying to get the people of Athens and students of the Uni versity Interested In a field of this kind. With the assistance of Capt, Gerfon It will be an easy task for Georgia to have a polo team that wquld be a big credit to the Uni versity and people ot Athens. The nearat polo field In this section of the country is looked at Aiken, 8. C., and is privately owned. Polo la coming to the front in nttUetlcs more each year. Recent ly In New York City a polo match waa held between 1C leading col- lncludlng Yale, Harvard. Co lumbia. West Point, and othsrs. Thla is just one example of the In terest that i far now being taken In polo. Georgia' has all the neces sities that are required to have a good polo ground. Maj. Burch is very anxious to see the University and people of Athens get interested Id polo. He wants the help ot nil students and residents ot Athens. Totals IS S 11 27 13 * xRatted for Ryais In ninth.

Rare Flower Now In Bloom In Mrs. Davison’s Garden Mrs. A. H.

For Captain ot this year’s mythi cal team we place Josh Wntson nt second. Josh Is about na fast aa most second basemen with the ex ception probably of Denfcke Tech, and, in addition,* ha* the knack of always "playing” the bat ter right at the spot where he hits. He is hitting 300 and his wide knowledge of the game make* him the Ideal leader for this year’s se lection. Denicke 9f Tech, and Brown of Vandy are the othOr outstanding stars of the Keystone station. center we place "Padre” Clarke. Clarke Is as 'good aa ever and os he was placed on most all Southern selections last year, he should be the unanimous choce ibis aeon. Putting J. D. Thomason on first In preference of McCullough of Vandy or Rosenfelt of Alabama will naturally cause some dissentlon among the ranks of the wiseacres found out In the bleachers. All will put him in the line up somewhere, but a majority will probably put him In his old stamping ground In right field. However, he is about the smoothest article around the the outer gardens that will be hard to bent. Palmaslno of Tech gets th« mtcjilns assignment The little fellow ha* been a thorn In the side of every pitcher he has fac*».i this season hitting high clas and medio- crl pitching alike. He has a great throwing amv nnd Is exceptionally fast for a catcher. Qlbson ot Au burn, his nearest competitor, ha* probably a little better "head", but Palmlsino’s great batting togethei with the fact that on this team the pinchers don’t need an old timer to steady tnem gives to him the place. Power ' of Georgia ranks third nmon£ the Southern catchers this year. He is one of the hardest workers on the team and has done much toward helping his team win the championship oLthe 8. I. C. What pitcher better than Stone, Sale, Chambers, nnd Allison dp we need to round out a great team? Tigo la os good as ever which Is quite enough. Sale will be remem bered for his wonderful feat of a perfect game against Vlrglnii when the fact of any pitcher be ing selected on nn nil-southern pick will lie forgotten; Chambers Is one of the best ptchers Georgia ever hAd.—which takes in some little geography; nnd Allison, a gobd I*dt hander, completes the pitching ros ter. For Utility we have selected Mc Cullough. Vanderbilt's hard hitting first baseman. ’’Mack’’ is not only n good first baseman, but he Is at- « fairly good outfielder and can pitch n game occasionally. The above itelectlone w. think c&mbln o" G«V‘ sETSI U . lit-. _ nV.L ni a tag i to eliminate him. This 'eaves Gib ■on. Ha h*. all the neceuary n 'iUea for the place. Giboon of urn, catcher.

Second Bose Josh W.'tson is. the outstanding man for thia position. Thla year I have seen none in his clasa. Joah makes hard chances look easy. Third Base Third is a hard position to pick. Woodruff of Vandy and Middle- brooks of Georgia are the out standing men for this position. It is hard to leave a man like Middle- brooks of Georgia off, but owing to first year and inexperience I will be compelled to give Woodruff of two-year-olds In the nation, largest field that ever started In the clasals*.
