Ty Cobb now has a sixteen-point lead
over Tris Speaker As there is only a'
month more of playing, it looks as
-hough the ‘‘Georgia Peach" will never
be headed by the Boston slugger.
Cobb went to bat three times yester- .
day and secured one hit. Jackson was '
up four times and banged out two safe i
swats. Lajoie secured one hit in three
attempts. Speaker and Collins "stood
still," as neither the Red Sox nor Ath
letics played.

MACON. GA.. Sept 9. —Football
practice will begin at Mercer tomor
row. Dr. Stroud has not returned from
his home in California, but is expected
i-n a few days, while Captain Norman is
here and will start the men in at ligii; ;
work.
The piospects for this year are any-j
thing but bright, with the loss of five
of last year’s best men. Three of these
graduated—Grice, center: Zellars. quai
ter. and Conger, guard. Foxworth, half,
and Cook, end, will not return.
I’he meh returning are: Heinsohn.
center; Huguley, guard; Mills and
Kelley, tackles; Forrester, end: Irwin,
half, and Captain Norman, full. Ko -
ley. Mills and Norman are the only
men that have had much experience,
and it is’ mostly on these that the
Orange and Black supporters must
rely. The others, while for the most
part good men, are inexperienced.
Mercer can not count much on the
new men. Os these, however, Holman,
who played center at Norman Park,
looks pretty good. (.Trice, a brother of
last years eente . will also be out for
the team, but he is young* and
knows practically nothing of the game.
This bunch does not look very prom
ising. but it is hoped that Dr. Stroud
can build a machine that will be abl.e
to hold its own.

CARE OF THE TEETH
IMPORTANT TO HEALTH
Without perfect teeth one can not
enjoy perfect health. Decayed or im
perfect teeth are not only painful and
continuously annoying, but a positive
menace to health and even life.
Do not neglect your teeth. Upon the
first sign of decay have them treated
and save suffering. Or, if the teeth are
already in bad condition, have them at
tended to at once.
The modern scientific painless meth
ods in use by the Atlanta Dental Par

performed quickly and without pain.
