Daubert Was Kicked Around. | And yet it is written —and writ- I ten boldly in Southern league his s' tors -that Jake Daubert was kick ed around this circuit juste like iliainp Clark's houn’ during the Baltimore convention. Jacob now is the subject of col umns of tribute in the Major league pi-.-s. Experts proclaim him the go-atest first baseman who ever performed. The glories of Anson, Brouthers, Carey. Tenney, Davis. Chance —yea, even the- glory of Chase—have 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 veep, no wail, no considerable gnashing of teeth when the news of his purchase by Brooklyn was published. Daubert came South in the good year of 1908. Chase had just revo lutionized first 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 ba.se 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, bolding forth at Nashville. When Cleveland reached Nashville on the way home to open the season. Dau bert was left in the Tennessee cap ital for Bernhard to ripen and make the most of. Daubert’s fielding was brilliant, though in his Southern league days he 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 ol and observe the dignity of the gentleman who illustrates this ad. you have the w hole story.

"Nice - looking first baseman.” said the sages, "but he'll never do in the big show. He can’t even hit down here.” At hen Daubert was claimed by Cleveland, after Nashville had land ed the pennant, 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 1..; 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. hut Memphis looked so bad that few of them visited the Bluff City. Old Barry Sutton took a chance and paid railroad fare to Red Elm park. That night he w-ired 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. FODDER FOR FANS Frank Chance says that if the no-booze clause is stuck in the players' contracts it ought to go for National league meet ings, too. "I went to one once," said Chance, "and about all I saw was a bunch of drunks. I didn’t go to any more." • * • The Appalachian league has forbidden the Asheville team to withdraw from its circuit. The mountain city was keen to get into the Carolina association. This move by the Appalachian undoubtedly makes Asheville good and sore. « « « A careful study of Horace Fogel's re ply to the charges that he accused the umpires of throwing games to the Giants leads one to believe that he can’t write any better now than he could when he was in the newspaper business. * • » "Brick" Owens, National league umpire, says he will travel the West this winter in the interest of Jimmy Clabby. You might think from that that James was a syndicate, like Stanlard Oil or Prince Al bert tobacco. Charley Ebbets. who likes nothing, bet ter than to make a speech when some body will listen, will go to the national as sociation meeting this year. • • • If they used the pugilistic weight scale in the National league they’d force Char ley Murphy and Horace Fogel to tight at 13.1 pounds. ♦ * • P S - Meaning they're "lightweights," speaking metaphorically. • • • Henry and Shanks, of the Washington team, had their tonsils removed shortly before the 1912 season began. This threat ens to become a more fashionable diamond operation than appendicitis—and it's lot cheaper. • * • Oh. yes. among the other teams . Frank Chance will manage will be the High landers. At that, both he and New York might do materially worse. ♦ # * George Mcßride has signed his 191.3 con tract with Washington. The terms were satisfactory—which means that George won a raise. • • • Jack Dunn has already decided on his pitching staff for Baltimore next year. THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWSAVEDNESDAV, OCTOBER 30. 1912. The men are Shawkey. Vickers, Danforth, Roth and Banker. • * • Heinie Zimmerman won the Chicago Examiner’s popularity count with some thing over two million votes. Charley Murphy got 900 votes, which was eleven more than was awarded Red Galligher the Cubs' bat boy. It is believed that both Murphy and Galligher voted for themselves. * ♦ ♦ Ft. \\ . Lardner says Charlev Herzog is such an aggressive player that he makes his own luck. To punish Herzog for his strike when he refused to play for Boston Nationals, he was traded to the Giants for Al Brid well. He got in on two world’s series splits and has had his salary raised. Lt was a crool, crool thing for the Boston club to do. • • ♦ A made over Joke (note to linotype operator: Please let the upper case J stand): Enthusiastic Manager- Yes. sir; that boy is a great shortstop.

Southern league sharps doubt it. • » • Presidetit Jacob Stein, of the Buffalo club, lias announced that he will not sell the Bisons now for any price, lie believes that at last he has a money-maker. » • » . . l-’our Pittsburg players were offered jobs with Umpire Rigler’s Cuban barn stormers, but Barney Dreyfuss turned them down. Barney says he does not mind barnstorming, hut he wants his players to stay out of the tropics. • * « Derrill T’ratt, the St. Louis Brown's in fielder. saw some football games in the Hast after the baseball season ended, and he says he sees no reason why Vanderbilt should not have a fair change of beating Harvard in their football game next month.

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 more femes 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 siin began to set. The southpaw Southern leaguer cov ered more territory. He thought quicker. He was far more sure on wild heaves and,;: livbnder of all wonders, he m'aije eßrooklyn forget that Jordan could : h.it. From the.minute he donned .his Dodger uniform," he forgot his Southern ,liague : ‘ reputation as a mark for.lithrlers and began pound ing the pill to, -, aN fare-you-well, which plape is located somewhere near Armageddon, and only T. R. knows where Armageddon is on the map. Jordan was soon shipped to To ronto, ari.d. ,E>anb,ert was placed in sole possession of the firsts 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 own 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 I With the <>|>ening signal practice Mon day afternoon at the flats, the Yellow Jackets started on their last month of football, apd if they can finish tVe 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 tlds is not the year for the Jackets to sting the Alabama boys. l-ijpt year was the opportune time 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 wajl. ‘ 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 ? i ‘ Bast year Patterson, on all-Sdutliern choice for two years, backed up the line for Tech with 190 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. Hutton backs up the line. He is a good low 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 with 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 tnay be different from what seems the inevitable.

Georgian: Dear Sir: “A,” one team; ”B," an other. “A" kicks front, one-yard line toward "B’s” goal. Ball goes fifteen yards, bounces back across goal, and "A” can not touc *i it until “B” has, and "li 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 ft is pre sumed that the ball bounded back with out touching players of either side. In this case 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 and cost themselves a touchdown. to HELP OUT OLD YALE HE TRAVELS 1,200 MILES NEW HAVEN, CONN..

Among others who have called was Mrs. L. Scott, who has suffered with catarrh of the stomach and kid neys for years. She said: “I have taken a great many different kinds of treat ment for my troubles: I would have such a full feeling after eating moder ately, bloating, belching, shortness of breath, dizziness, my heart would jump and flutter at times, pains across my back, and my kidneys were a great an noyance to me, especially at night. A friend of mine advised me to try Quaker Extract. I called at the drug store and procured a treatment and in seven days I will tell you I feel better than I have in many years. My pains are all gone, I eat well, sleep like a babe, and I feel at last 1 have found a permanent cure.” Another case is that of a well-known man, Mr. Pat Tucker, who is an en- glneer, and who suffered for years with annoyance of his stomach; bloating gases would arise and cause him to have a sleepy, tired and languid feeling; he got a bottle of Quaker Extract, took It according to directions, and to his surprise the second day he expelled a large number of pin or seatworms, some dead, some alive.
