Fwenty-Five Greatest Southern League Players *•* ....... No. 6—Daubert, Kicked Around Dixie, Big Show Star By Fuzzy Woodruff. (I'I)GE WILLIAM KAVANAUGH in his annual report made to the Southern league members i spring will declare that the ganization that he heads is about classiest little thing ever as mbled under a minor league ban- The sentiment will be greet- 1 once a year by some hip-hlp ■oray stuff from Messrs. t’alla •iy.

It is the one subject on which y agree with an unanimity that muld have been typical of a Re publican convention before Bob La ’’•alette discovered the word “Pro gressive” and T.

But it is hardly possible that ■ ese gentlemen could grow so en ! linsiastic, even after one of those famous Southern league dinners, as • rise on their hind legs and claim hat the league headed by the antil og and affable Kavanaugh has it >n the American and National • agues in class just like Sarah Bernhard possesses talents that lit tle Emma Bunting could hardly as pire to. Daubert Was Kicked Around. And yet it is written —and writ ten boldly in Southern league his tory—that Jake Daubert was kick ed around this circuit just like I'haiiip Clark's houn' during the Baltimore convention. Jacob now is the subject of col umns of tribute in the major league press. Experts proclaim him the greatest first baseman who ever performed. The glories of Anson. Brouthers, Carey. Tenney. Davis, chance—yea, even the glory of Chas<—have 1 been eclipsed by this star of the South. But the fact remains that for two seasons Mr. Daubert remained In these parts and there was no weep, no wail, no considerable gnashing of teeth when the news of his purchase by Brooklyn was published. Daubert ci-uce South in the good year of 19»<3. • 'hose had just revo lutionized lit-t base play by his marvelous left-hand performances. Every major league manager looked carefully and favorably on south paws who had any talent for play ing the initial sack accordingly. Port-sided infielders had suddenly become all the rage, just like the hobble skirt and initiative, refer endum and recall. Gift to Bill Bernhard. Nap Lajoie was handling the destinies of the Cleveland club, and he had dug Daubert from the gloomy regions of some bush league as a first base experiment. It didn't take him more than a minute to decide, however, that George Sto vall was not ripe for the can. nor Daubert for classy company. That year Lajoie's old side kick. Rill Bernhard, was making his bow as a Southern league manager, holding sis th at Nashville. When Cleveland reached Nashville on the way home to open the season. Dau bert was left in the Tennessee cap ita) for Bernhard to ripen and make the most of. Daubert’s fielding was brilliant, though in his Southern league days lie was not a Chase by a few hun dred yards, to say the least. And, more than that, he seemed lament- Brown Heather-Mixture Conservative Cut $22.50 —Muse’s When you have read the words contained in the caption of and observe the dignity of the gentleman who illustrates this ad, you have the whole story.

When Daubert was claimed by Cleveland, after Nashville had land ed the penmint, the South simply said that railroad fare was being wasted. He would have to be sent back in a few 'months. As far as the Nap management was concerned, the South's judg ment was correct. Daubert did not stay in the Ohio city long enough to learn that Tom L. Johnson was that metropolis’ most prominent citizen. Babb Took Castoff. He was sent to Toledo, but the Mud Hen leader couldn't see him with a spyglass, and he was put on the market. Charley Babb, of Memphis, was in dire straits for a first baseman. In fact, Babb was in dire straits for every kind of a ball player. . He grabbed Daubert up, and the left-handed Jake was once more enrolled on a Southern ball team. Scouts infested the section that year. A dozen promising young sters were scheduled to go up. but Memphis looked so bad that few of them visited the Bluff City. Old Larry Sutton took a chance and paid railroad fare to Red Elm park. That night he wired C. Her cules Ebbets, president of the Brooklyn Baseball club, that he had found the first baseman of the age. He came mighty near telling the truth.

Tim Jordan had for several sea sons been occupying first base for the Dodgers, and it seemed about as easy a task to remove Jordan from that spot as it would be to make Atlanta forget that Jim Woodward ever existed* He had smashed mote fences than any other major league player, and was the one bright spot in the sec ond city of Greater New York. Jordan's Sun Sets. Daubert showed up for practice and Jordan’s sun began to set. The southpaw Southern leaguer cov ered more territory. He thought quicker. He was far more sure on wild heaves and. wonder of all wonders, he made Brooklyn forget that Jordan could hit. From the minute he donned his Dodger uniform, he forgot his Southern league reputation as a mark for hurlers and began pound ing the pill to a fare-you-well, which place is located somewhere near Armageddon, and only T. R. knows w here Armageddon is on the map. Jordan was soon shipped to To ronto. and Daubert was placed in sole possession of the first pillow. He is there now. He'll stay there for several seasons, and. looking back on the South, he probably will murmur something about a proph et not being without honor save on his ow n stamping ground. For Daubert. once despised in the South, is now premier first base man of the whole bloomin’ world, which includes the South and cer tain sections of Brooklyn. AUBURN’S HEAVY LINE FEARED IN JACKET CAMP With the opening signak practice Mon day afternoon at the flats, the Yellow Jackets started on their last month of football, and if they can finish the month with an even break, they will have done wonderfully well this season, considering the "nucleus" of old men and the small amount of material to be drawn from. Next Saturday they will go up against their old-time rival, Auburn, and from all indications this Is not the year for th’e Jackets to sting the Alabama boys. Last year was the opportune lime and but for a lucky catch of a forward pass by Newell, an Auburn substitute. Tech would have come out on top. Last year Tech gained more than a hundred yards more ground than Auburn, was penalized more and punted for the most number of yards, yet. the game went the other way. Tech has plugged up these little defi cient points, but can they carry the ball down the field this year as they did last year? Can Tech's light ends break the onslaught of Auburn's magnificent inter ference? Last year Patterson, on all-Southern choice for two years, backed up the line for Tech with ISO pounds of as good man as there was in the South. Goree, an all-Southern man and a bril liant player, played a side back, and helped Patterson in stopping Auburn's line bucks. Sanchez, an extra good player of 185 pounds, played one defensive end. with Thomason and Black playing the other. These men were four-year men. all weigh ing more than 170. Take a glance at the defensive men this year. Huttan backs up the line He is. a good tow tackler, with plenty of nerve and a good head; but—weighs 163 and his first year on varsity This is but one instance, but Tech has never gone into a game w’ith colors droop ing. and dope is worthless when calculat ing on a -team that has an unknown quantity of "never die" spirit, and the score may be different from what seems the inevitable.

Georgian: Dear Sir: "A,” one team; "B." an other. "A" kicks from one-yard line toward “B's" goal. Ball goes fifteen yards, bounces back across goal, and "A" can not touch it until "B" has, and "B" didn’t touch it until it. crossed the line, then fell on it. Please render de cision. This occurred in a game at Emory. No decision was made except that "B” was given ball on one-yard line. T. B. M. It seems incredible that a ball could bound back fifteen yards after a kick, but anything is likely to happen when a football hits the ground, so it is pre •sumed that the ball bounded back w ith out touching players of either side, in this ease it was clearly a touchdown for “B." If the players of the “A” team had a chance to fall on the ball before it got over the goal line and didn’t, they pulled a bone ami cost themselves a touchdown.
