I K the Cracker liaise stealers were ;• good as the Cracker catchers the Atlanta team would have the whole league on the run. In 19 games this season the Crack er catchers have allowed only IK men to steal bases, or slightly less than one stolen base to the game. How much better than the average the work of Joe Dunn and Pat Gra ham is, can bo Judged from the fact that in all of last season in the South ern League, 1,532 banes were stolen, or an average of 1.37 bases for each team in each game. * «* • 'T'HE best defensive catching in the * league is being done by the Bir mingham catchers. In 17 games lin ger and Mayer allowed but 13 stolen bases. Atlanta ranked second while Gabby Street, virtually single hand ed. held the Lookouts up in third place. The New Orleans catchers nave made the most horrible show-i ing—allowing almost two stolen bases for the opposition in each game. The number of stolen buses allow ed on an average In each game by the Southern League catchers thus far this season in here shown: S. B. Per clubs. Games. S B. Game.

Graham of Atlanta, and Mayer, of Birmingham, are tied for second honors in preventing base stealing. Jo» Dunn is seventh among the regulars, with an average of 1.11 runners who have stolen on his throwing this season. IT is well to note, of course, that * the number of bases stolen by a team does not depend entirely on the throwing strength of a catcher A proper rating would show how many bajr-s 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 a. firs* by being hit; or on the other ham? if all the hits were three- baggers 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 can do. Here is the complete record of the number of bases stolen off catchers in the Southern League this season, up to yesterday: 9. B. Per Catchers. Clubs. Games 9. B. G.

Coach Heisman is a little undecide.l about his battery man, but will US'-* either Pitts or Eubanks on the slab, probably the former. Gordon prob ably will work for Sewanee. The 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. MeGoodwln, who re placed him, fared little better and wns relieved by Hammond in the sixth. Hammond pitched better ball 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. who was touched up for a total of five, two of them being slow infield hits. Second Inning Was BIG. In the second pining, when the Jackets put across their swat fest. Montague was given a free pass to first and was advanced to second when Malone landed safe at first on Hammond’s error. Amason beat out an Infield hit And was safe with the bases full. An ridge binglcd to left scoring the first two runs of the game. T. Montague was next safe on Ham mond's error, which scored Amason and Attridge. Montague managed to reach third on this play and stole borne. Wooten placed one in the cen ter garden, taking second on Moore’s sacrifice, and was scored by Pitts' single to right. F. Montague (lied out to Fanning and the agony was over. Hits did it. coupled with the Jackets’ daring and heady base running. A story of the whole game would read much the same. But the contest was won light then and further details would bn only adding insult to insult. The fielding of both teams was bright in patches, despite a few misplays, while the batting of Tech was a groat 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 lias been a bard 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, the 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 mind. | Lew* McAllister, one of the world's j 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- j hibit the 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 ihe 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 snortstop at least is dangerously near the sound ing point. This time it seems to be thal grand player, Rhodie Wallace, of the St. Louis Browns. Then, too, reports from Pittsburg, though opti mistic. still have a tang of foreboding about them that cannot be ignored. Wagner’s knee is good to-day. How long will it last? the fans ask. For physicians appeal to be a unit in de claring that injuries to one's knee have a discomfiting habit of bobbing up a long time after everything seems to have been covered over about the member.

May 3.—Mercer cap tured the Iasi game of the series with Vanderbilt yesterday by the score of 7 to 2. The Commodores at no time had a chance The Baptists took the lead from the first, outclassed, out hit and outplayed the winners of Thursday’s game Hunt twirled for the winners, while McClure did slab duty for the Commo dores, The fact that Frank Chance prefers to sit oil the bench rather than stand in the.vicinity of first base shows that the cure is complete.

He was matched in Ban Francisco yesterday to meet Frankie Burns, lightweight, of Oakland. Cal., in a ten-round battle at Oakland May 21. The men will battle at 1.33 pounds and weigh in at 3 p. m. Wolgast is guaranteed $2,500, with the privilege of accepting 50 per cent of the gross receipt*. where he left off. All men are willing t<» concede that Ping Bodie is a. heavy hitter, but his heaviness is not in his hitting. One is led to wonder where Frank Chance would land if some one were to kick the bottom out of the league. J. DUNN MAKING A TWO-BASE HIT, There was a youth in our town Who had a wondrous bludgeon. He knocked the ball a hundred miles And still the youth is trudgeon. Luther McCarty's threat to quit the fighting game leads the Innocent by stander to wonder when he ex/er 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 teas a young fellow named Evers Who had a great pair of receivers. He had a few men Who could hit now and then. And converted a few unbelievers.

No-Rim-Cut Tires 10% Oversize Tire Prices ,« With our new factories, we have built as high as 6,500 automobile tires daily. This multiplied output has cut cost of production. And our profits, as usual, are kept down to the minimum. So prices on No-Rim-Cut tires now aver age about 11 per cent less than last year. ” No Extra No-Rim-Cut tires now cost no more than any standard clincher tires. Yet these tires save all the cost of rim-cutting. They save a ruin which wrecks < 23 per cent of the hooked-base clincher tires. And No-Rim-Cut tires are 10 per cent larger—contain 10 per cent more air —than clinchers. And that, with the average car, adds 25 per cent to the tire mileage. - Our Profit Each year we advertise our profits. That is to show you exactly the value you get in a Goodyear tire. In times past this profit has averaged about 8J4 per cent. And this year, with our low ered prices, we do not expect to exceed that. GoodJ5ear No-Rim-Cut Tires With or Without Non-Skid Treads Thus it must be apparent that no tire maker can ever give more for the money. We have the largest output, the newest factories, the most up-to- date equipment, v None can pos sibly build equal tires at as low ti, cost as we. None dare sell on smaller mar gins. None this year show so large a reduction. Those are our ways for keeping co,St per mile down to a record minimum.
