ably will work for Seva nee.
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. McGoddwln. who re
placed him, fared little better and
was 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
bits, but was replaced by Gambill.
who was touched up for a total of
live, two of them being slow infield
hits.
Second Inning Was BIG.
In the second inning, when the
Jackets pm 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. A mason beat out
an infield hit and was safe with the
bases full. Attridgo bingled to left,
scoring the First two runs of tin gam-.
T. Montague was next safe on Ham
mond’s error, which scored Amason
and Attridgo. Montague managed to
reach third on this play and stole
home. Wooten placed one in the con
fer garden, taking second on Moore's
sacrifice, and was scored by Pitts'
single to right. F. Montague hied 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 re el
much the same. But the contest wtp
won right then and further details
would be only adding Insult to insu't.
The fielding of both teams was bright
in patches, despite a few misplays.
while the batting of Tech was a great
improvement o\Vr 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 1ms 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, 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 min i.
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 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 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
tht* last time to the plaudits of thou
sands.
This year tends one to believe that
the death knell of one shortstop av
least is dangerously near the sound
ing point. This time it seems to be
that grand player. Rhotiie 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.

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.
Mo 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
£5 per cent to the tire mileage.
Our Profit

In times past
this profit has

And this year,

do not expect to exceed that.
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-

sibly build equal tires at as low
cost as we. ,
None dare sell on smaller mar

a reduction. Those are our ways
