A proper rating would show how many bases were stolen in relation to the number of opponents who reached first. If the opposing players didn’t get any hits, any free passes or ar rive at first by being hit: or on the other hand if all the hits were three- baggeiH or homers, there would not be many bases stolen. In the long run, however, the number of bases stolen gives a fair line on what a catcher « an do.

I In* rejuvenated Jackets trounced the Tigers yesterday to the tune of 13 to 0 in a game replete with hits and errors, mostly hits. The Techites had their batting clothes on and rapped Eggleston from the box in the second inning. McGoodwin, who re placed him. fared little better and was relieved by Hammond in the sixth. Hammonjl pitched better Da 11 and managed to hold the swatting Jackets to one hit for the remainder of the game. Eubanks pitched stellar ball for Tech for four innings, allowing no hits, but was replaced by Gambill. xv ha was touched up for a total of five, txvo of them being slow infiel i lilts. Second Inning Was BIG. In the second inning, when the Jackets put across their swat fest, Montague was given a free pass io first and was advanced to secon ! when Malone landed safe at first on Hammond’s error. Aina son beat out an Infield hit and was safe with the bases full. Attridge hingled to left, scoring the first txvo runs of the gain*-. T. Montague xvas next sale on Ham mond’s error, which scored Amason and Attridge. Montague managed to reach third on this play and stole home. Wooten placed one in the cen ter garden, taking second on Moore’s sacrifice, and xvas scored by Pitts’ single to right. F Montague hied out to Fanning and tlie agony was over. Hits did It, coupled with the Jackets’ during and heady base running. A story of the whole game would read much the same. But the contest was xvon right then and further details would be only adding Insult to insult. The fielding of both teams xvas bright in patches, despite a few mlsplays. while the hatting of Tech xvas a great improvement over other games this season. Their base running showed up well.

T HE passing from the Southern League of Otto Jordan, for years a landmark and in his prime the greatest fielder the league ever knew, recalls again to mind the old truth that youth and speed, not age and brains, win in baseball. This year has been a hard one on old timers in Dixie. Harry Matthews tried it down in New Orleans but they couldn’t see him. The old noodle was working, tne arm wasn’t; his head knew the rules but his legs had for gotten how to run. Tommy Fisher was going to try a come back but he changed his mini. Lew McAllister, one of the world’s best in his day, came to Atlanta, tried out and went back again. Teddy Bair and Dock Moskiman refused to report to the Vols rather than ex hibit tiie infirmities due to advancing years; the Lookouts are about ready to part with Bill Chappelle, a fine old timer; Maloney, once a marvellous player, has just passed from the Mo bile team. It's the Same in Big Leagues. In the major leagues also each passing year chants out the swan song of some battle-scarred veteran. The demands of age cannot be ig nored; youth will be served, and ev ery little while taps are being sound ed for the retirement of one more dia mond hero who has doffed his hat for the last time to the plaudits of thou sands. This year tends one to believe that the death knell of one shortftop 9\ least is dangerously near the sound ing point. This time it seems to oe that grand player.

Mercer cap tured the last game of the series with Vanderbilt yesterday by the score of 7 to 2. The Commodores at no time had a chance.

He was matched in San Francisco yesterday to meet Frankie Burns, lightweight, of Oakland. Cal. in a ten-round battle at Oakland May 21. The men will battle at 133 pounds and weigh in at 3 p. in.

There was a youth in our town Who hail a wondrous bindgeon. He knocked the halt a hundred miles And stilt the youth is trudgeon. Luther McCarty’s threat to quit the fighting game leads the innocent by stander to wonder when he ever began. This noise anent the revision of weights in pugilism compels us to note that, as pugilists. 100 per cent of our heavyweights are lightweights. SPEAKING OF THE “NEVER AGAIN’’ CLUB. There was a young fellow named Evers Who had a great pair of receivers, lie had a few mi n Who rout it hit now and then. And converted a few unbelievers. The Tech track team left this morn ing for Clemson, S. C., where they will compete with the track team repre senting Clemson College. This is the first meet of the season for the Tech ites, owing to the inability to ar range agreeable dates with the neigh boring colleges*, and it should bring oui the best the Jackets have. Coach Thomas has been putting hia men through some stiff work the past few weeks and is confident of a vic tory. The Hillbillies from Clemson have a past record to be proud of and will endeavor to retain all their lau rels. Of the men who will make the trip, Logan. Robinson, Smith and Leuhr- mann are veterans of last year, xvho hold good record?*, and they can he depended upon to bring home the bacon in their events.
