In l'J games this season the Crack er catchers have allowed only 18 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 lie judged from the fact that In all of last season in tin- South ern League. 1,632 bases were stolen, or an average of 1.37 bases for « ach team in each game. * * * THE best defensive catching in the * league is being done by the Bir mingham catchers In 17 games 1)11- 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.

Joe Dunn is seventh among the regulars, with an average of .1.11 runners who have stolen on his throwing this season. I T is well to note, of (purse, that * the number of bases stolen by a team does not depend entirely on tin* throwing strength of a catcher.

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 dotfn 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 best in his day. came to Atlanta, tried out and went back again. Teddy Bait >iml Dock Moskintan 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 jus»t 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 tlie death knell of one shortstop at least is dangerously near the sound ing point. This time it seems to he that 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.

But you may depend that the tire which leads in the long run has made its claims come true. We ask you to judge the Goodyeafs by the place they hold after fourteen years* comparison. The Top Place Goodyear tires, by long odds, are the most popular tires in the world. The demand has grown like an avalanche since motorists found them out. Last year’s sales by far exceeded our previous 12 years put together. And this year’s sales to users is running twice as large as last. The Verdict of 300,000 Over two million Goodyears have gone into use, on perhaps 300,- 000 cars. Sothis match less demand embodies the verdict of 300,- 000 men. Not men who are guessing. No-Rim-Cut Tires These are days of metered mileage. Men are watching tire upkeep. No doubtful advantage, no petty saving, brought this flood of favor to No-Rim-Cut tires. It Was This It was the fact that these new- type tires ended the ruin of rim- cutting. These oversize tires, upder aver age conditions, added 25 per cent to the tire mileage. And the Goodyear experts, better than others, solved the problems of tire endurance. You’ll find this out, as others have, when you make the test.
