Twenty-Five Greatest Southern League Players No. 6—Daubert, Kicked Around Dixie, Big Show Star ]’,v Fuzzy Woodruff. J 1 ;>GE WILLIAM KAVANAUGH n his annual report made to the Southern league members spring will declare that the pr g r.ization that he heads is about the classiest little thing ever as sembled under a minor league ban r. The sentiment will be greet ed once a year by Some hlp-hip hooray stuff from Messrs. Calla way, Woodward, Coleman, Hirsig, juries. Hervey, Andrews and Frank, v ! , pre more or less interested In p . .forementioned organization. It is the one subject on which t' iy agree with an unanimity that would have been typical of a Re publican convention before Bob La- Follette discovered the word "Pro . , ssive” and T. R. snatched it as s is own most prized possession. But it is hardly possible that - ■ gentlemen could grow so en ■huslastic, even after one of those mtous Southern league dinners, as rise on their hind legs and claim st the league headed by the smll- X and affable Kavanaugh has It • the American and National ■agues in class just like Sarah rrnhard possesses talents that lit le 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 Champ 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 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 weep, 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 Blli Bernhard. Nap Lajole 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 thy can, nor Daubert for classy company. That year Lajoie’s old side kick, Bill Bernhard, was making his bow as a Southern league manager, holding 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 jjfbOl-.

He can't even hit down here.” W 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 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 tpighty near telling the truth. RACING ENTRIES AT LAUREL.

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 fences than any other major league player, and wa# 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 dqnned his Dodger uniform, he forgot his Southern league reputation as a mark for hurl rs and.began pound ing the pill to a fare-you-well, which place is located somewhere near Armageddon, and only T. R. knows where 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 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.

Honors wore even in the first round, Kilbane had the best of the second. Honors were even in the third, and in the fourth Kilbane shot his right to the jaw and Dugan went down for the count. BRONSON IN 8 ROUNDS ST. LOUIS, MO.. Oct. 30.—After eight rounds of hard and fast fighting, during which he was the aggressor throughout. Ray Bronson, welterweight championship claimant, last night won the popular decision over Clarence English.yof Omaha. Derrill Pratt, the St. Louis Brown's in fielder, saw some football games in the East after the baseball season ended, and he says he sees no reason why Vanderbilt should not have a fair chance of beating Harvard in their football game next month. Mrs nun LINE FM IN JACKET CAMP With the opening signal 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 the Jackets to sting the Alabama boys. Last 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 way. Tech has plugged up these little defi cient points, but can they carry the bail 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 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 1,63 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 may. be different from what seems the inevitable. Here is a woman w’tio speaks from personal knowledge and long expe rience, viz., Mrs. P. H. Brogan, of Wil son, Pa., who says: "I know from ex perience that Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is far superior to any other. For croup there is nothing that excels it.” For sale by all dealers. (Advt.)

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 thato"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 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 bail before it got over the goal line and didn't, they pulled a bone and cost themselves a touchdown.
