Twenty-Five Greatest Southern League Players No. 4—Frank Smith Graduated From Piano Mover By Fuzzy Woodruff. rpHJIPERAAIENT is an attri- | but, commonly possessed by persons who sing or shoot Shakespeare for the edification of a low-browed public. When a ball payer develops symptoms of this " ui.'i ase tans and players begin to '■all him a "bug" and chroniclers of the pastime find in him a fertile field for feature stories. The ball player with temperamental spirit occupies the full glare of the -potlii'ht for a period a- brief as a drunkard's pledge.

But not many yi-ars ago a bug flourished in Dixie, who made a mark in the major leagues that fandom will not soon forget, and. despite his tempera merit, he re mained in tile big leagues more than the allotted time of a hurler. He passed into the dark regions of bush league life last year, but for many a day his prowess will be remembered where salaries tire the size of a senatorial bribe and ath letes partake of fleeting flame each day just like it was then portion of ham and eggs.

Was Called "Bonehead Frank.” Smith had temperament. In fact, he just oozed it. He had so much of it tiiat the fans and scribes did not stop at writing' him down a "bug." He was -given tiiat moni ker despised by all ball players. He was called "Bonehead Frank" around Birmingham, though it has never been written that he failed to touch second or tried to steal with the bases full. Smith looked the part, though, w hen he reported to Birmingham in 1902. He was fresh from Pitts burg. where he had earned his daily’ corn beef and cabbage juggling pianos from installment houses to flat buildings and vice versa. He was a big hulk of a man, not tall, but with tremendous back and shoulder muscles, superinduced by his piano pulling' proclivities. He had a tout ensemble of Tom Shar key and his brow was no higher tiian tl’.e classic forehead of the fighting sailor man. Birmingham had a pretty punk party of pastimers that season. In fact, the ball club consisted of Ir win Wilhelm Frank Smith and a lot of old rums overripe for the discard. The> team cracked early in the race, and then Smith began to show his temperament. Hi enjoyed being a whole bail club. His mighty strength enabled him to pitch about every Other day. and lie enjoyed going in the box belter titan a small boy enjoys going in a mudhole in June. And wh< u lie didn't pitch he played somewhere else. He first based, second based, third based in fact, sang every pari in the infield, choir, lid did outfield duty when occasion demanded. Wat a Slugger With the Bat. And he did all these jobs well. Though never a certain hitter, he was one of the most dangerous batsmen ever to face a hurler on a Southern diamond. He aimed him self with a war club as formidable as that historic jawbone with which Kid Samson routed armies, and when he connected with his full strength the ball kept going. There is no man in Birmingham who will not swear to the tradi tion that once Smith broke up a game by hitting a home run. They will tell you the ball did not hesi tate at the center field fence, but soared a- gracefully as a buzzard ever Ihe Gib: altar-like s lac pile and then on ami on to the top of Red mountain, wheie it struck a miner preparing to fire a cha ge of Heisman's Weekly Comment on Football Games and Gridiron Affairs NEW STUNT WITH FOOTBALL SCORES SUGGESTED By J. W. Heisman. IN baseball we can figure out bat ting- and fielding averages and thus get a fair line on offensive and defensive strength. In foot ball ;his is much more difficult. Os course one could add up all the yards a team won or lost, or that any individual player had made or lost; also how many first downs they had made and the like. These figures from the standpoint of the individual are seldom impressive, because in football the individual can do hardly anything w-ithout the active assistance of his teammates, in baseball the players hit the ball alone, or field it alone, or steal the base alone, which is another thing entirely. It occurs to me, though, that some interesting statistics could be secured by dividing the total points a team has made to date by the to- dynamite. It is further recorded that the miner, on recovering con sciousness. was firmly convinced that he had been the victim of a premature blast, and was puzzled when he did not discover iron ore scattered all about the surrounding country. Big Card in Birmingham. Smith's efforts alone kept the sport popular in Birmingham in those trying days of the Southern league, and had as much as any thing to do with making- Birming ham the most dependable baseball town ’n the circuit. For all of which Bonehead Frank should re ceive the lasting gratitude of Southern patrons of the game. Smith was again a Baton in 1903. Tins year Birmingham was man aged by Tom O'Brien, and had a real ball club,’ but still Smith was called on to do the utility act. He did not shine particularly as a pitcher, but was above the aver age in effectiveness The South was surprised when he was drafted by the White Sox. It was thought but a question of weeks before he would be trudging back to Birmingham. He didn't. He stuck, and his tem perament. changeu. The spitball was soon afterward introduced, and Smith became a master of that puz zling delivery. When he saw himself a star, he did the same thing that stars of the stage, of art. of literature, of fighting, of everything etee are wont to do. He thought himself too bright for common, every-day work. Instead of being the fine old truck horse he was in the Southern league he became as willful as a prlma donna. If Ins support was not gilt edged. he sulked. Frequently he jumped back to his piano moving in Pittsburg Every time an op portunity offered, lie would de clare he had forsaken baseball for the prize ring and a challenge to .Teffries or Johnson or whoever held the palm at the time would forth with issue, and the scribes‘would have sport withal. Traded to Boston for Lord. In short, he tried to outrdbe Waddell. His usefulness to the White Sox soon became less than nothing Fomiskey was tickled to death when he traded him to Bos ton for Harry Lord. He lasted but a season with the Red Sox. and then drifted to the National league, answering roll call at Cincinnati'. He was never again effective, and last season dropped completely’ out. But say lie isn’t still a great pitcher in Birmingham and you'll have everybody to fight, from Os < tr Underwood to the lowliest don key driver in the darkest coal mine in Jefferson county. tai number of points that have been scored against it to date. Papers everywhere publish from time to time a list qf the scores of va rious football teams, and the only way they have ever, as yet, ar anged them is to put in the order of points they have scored. This, while interesting enough as far as it goes, tells only one thing about the teams. Tito points that a. team has scored are to its credit; the points scored against it are to its discredit. Sure ly there is a relation between its merits and its demerits, as there is in every other kind of game. Why no; express that relation ship either in fractional or in deci mal form? For instance: Suppose X team has scored in its games to date 100 points, while 8 points have been scored against it. Then 100 i's the numerator of its fraction, while 8 is the denominator, and the deci mal quotient, which indexes its whole ability (offensive and defen sive strength combined) Is repre sented by the division of 8 into 100, or 12.50. By this method we would learn that some teams that had scored quite a lot of points did not have nearly so high a combination per centage as some others which had not scored so many points, but which, on the other hand, had not been scored upon so frequently. I make this suggestion to the sport writers with no thought of criticism for the tables they are accustomed to publishing, for those also are interesting, but I think the above outlined plan would give them something new and worth while. How Scheme Works Out. Take the prominent S. I. A. A. teams as an example of this. In the mere matter of points scored, they stand thus (I give first the points they have scored and then those scored against them): Vanderbilt, 331 to 3. Tennessee. 207 to 33. Sewanee. 195 to 6. Auburn, 103 to 19. Clemson, 143 to 41. Alabama, 126 to 39. Georgia, 78 to 55. Mercer, 71 to 78. Tech, 70 to 15. Now, divide the number of points FIVE FAMOUS MARES.

Sewanee goes to sec ond place, Instead of third; Clem son drops from fifth to sixth; and Tech comes up from last to fifth, while Georgia drops from seventh to eighth. It is only justice to note in Georgia’s case, that Coach Cun ningham’s team has played Vander bilt, while none of the other teams enumerated have.

It le worth noting that Florida defeat ed South Carolina by 10 to «, while North Carolina defeated the South Corlfnans by’ only 9 to $, which would seem to put Florida almost on a par with North Carolina If that Is the correct measure of Florida's strength, It would appear that Tech Is stronger than waa sup posed, for everybody knows what kind of football the Tarheels put ttp.
