T HE pasalnff from tin* Southern
League nf Otto Jordan, for
years a landmark and in hia j
prime the greatest fielder the league
ever knew, recalla again to mind the
old truth that youth and speed, not
age and bra ins. win in ham-ball.
This year has been a hard one on
time if? in Dixie. Harry Matthews
/ied it down in New Orleans but they I
/on Id n't see him. Tile old noodle was j
Jworxmg. the arm wasn't; his bead
/itnew the rules but his leg* had for- |
gotten how to run.
Tommy Fisher was going to try a
no me back but he changed his mind.
Lew McAllister, one of the world’s
best In his day, came to Atlanta,
tried out and went hack a-guln. Teddy
Pair and Pock Moskim&n refused to
report to the Vols rather than ex
hibit tie' infirmities due to advancing
years; the Lookouts are about ready
to part with Bill Ohappelto, a fine old
timer; Maloney, once a marvellous
player, 1ms 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 awnu
Mong of some battle-scarred veteran.
Tin- d( fhanda of age cannot be ig
nored; youth will he servt-d, and ev
ery little while taps are being sound
ed for the retirement of one more dia
mond hero who has doffed ids hat for
the last time to the plaudits of thou
sands.
This year tends one to believe that
the death knell of one shortstop at
least is dangerously near the eound-
,ng point This time it seems to I>e
that gland player. Khodle 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
mg will it last? the fans ask. For
physicians appear 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.
BUCK BECKER TO LOSE
JOB WITH CRACKERS
Hu. k beckcr will b< reli-.mt-il with
in the next few days by Bill Smith,
manager of the Crackers. If Becker
can not be placed in some of the
minor leagues he will be turned back
to the Senators.
At the start of the present season
Becker looked to be one of the most
promising on Smith’s stuff, hut he
never has got to going right during
Ihe regular schedule.

Crackers Not Steajing Very Well
By Percy II. Whiting.
I F the Cracker base stealers were
as good us 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 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. (Ira-
ham is, can he Judged from the fact
that In all of last season in the South
ern League, 1,582 bases were stolen,
or an average of 1.37 bases for each
team in each game.
* * *
‘T'lIE best defensive catching in th*
* league is being done by the Bir
mingham catchers. In 17 games I >11-
ger and Mayer allowed but 13 stolen
bases. Atlanta ranked second while
Gabby Street, virtually single hand
ed, held the Lookouts tip in third
place. The New Orleans catchers
have made the most horrible show
ing—allowing almost two stolen
bases for the opposition in each game
The number of stolen bases allow
ed on an average in each game by
the Southern League catchers thus
far this season is here shown:
S. B.
Per
Clubs. Games. S. B. Game
Birmingham ....17 13 .76
Atlanta 19 18 .95
Chattanooga . . .18 20 1.11
Nashville 18 20 1.11
Memphis 20 23 1.15
Mobile 21 2H 1.33
Montgomery ....2" 31 1.55
New Orleans ....23 II 1.91
• • •
■pyLGEK of Birmingham, the great-
est defensive catcher in the league
bust season, is up to his old tricks
agaip and has allowed an average of
but '.71 stolen buses to the game—
against an average for all teams last
season, you will recall of more than
1 1-3 a game Graham of Atlanta, and
Mayer, of Birmingham, arc tied for
second honors in preventing .base
stealing. Joe Dunn is seventh
among the regulars, with an average
of 1.11 runners who have stolen on
hia throwing this season.
I T i- 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
bases were stolen in relation to the
number of opponents who reached
first. If the opposing players didn’t
got any hits, any frte passes or ar
rive at first by being hit; or on the
other hand if all the hits were three-
baggers or homers, there would not
be rnanv bases stolen. In the long
run, however, th*' number of bases
stolen gives a fair fine on what a
catcher van do.
Here Is tlie* complete record of the
number of bases stolen off catchers
in the Southern League this season,
up to yesterday:
S. B.
Per
Catchers, Clubs. Games S. B. G.
Dllger, Birmingham ... 7 5 .71
Graham, Atlanta 10 8 .80
Mayer, Birmingham ..10 8 .80
Street, Chattanooga ..17 15 .88
Seabough, Memphis .. 1 1 1.00
Noyes, Nashville 14 15 1.07
Haigh, Memphis 11 12 1.09
Dunn, Atlanta 9 10 1.11
Ludwig. Nashville .... 4 5 1.25

Angermaler. N. O. ...15 20 2.00
Gribbens, Montgomery . 6 12 2.00
Hannoh, Chattanooga ..1 5 5.00
• • •
THE Crackers, unfortunately, can
* not steal bases as well as they
* an prevent their being stolen. How
ever thus far the locals have stuck
right around the average, with 1.37
steals to the game. Mobile leads in
stealing, Memphis is second and poor,
old Chattanooga Is last, with an aver
age of a stolen base every two games.
Here is the table that shows the
number of bases stolen per game by
the teams of the league:
Teams. S. B. Av. Per G.
Mobile 45 2.14
Memphis 30 1.43
New Orleans 32 1.39
Atlanta 26 1.37

Nashville IS 1.00

TRY AGAIN TO
BEAT JACKETS
T HE Tech and Sewanee baseball
teams will hook up this after
noon at Grant Field In the clos
ing game of their series.
Coach Heisman is a little undecided
al>out his battery men. but will ua?
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. McGoodwln, 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
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 inning, 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. A mason beat out
an infield hit and was safe with the
bases full. Attridge bingleu to left,
scoring the first two runs of the game.
T. Montague was next safe on Ham
mond’s error, which scored Aniason
and Attridge. Montague managed to
reach third on this play ana stole
home. Wooten placed one in the cen
ter garden, taking second on Moore’s
sacrifice, and was scored by Pitts'
single to right. F. Montague filed out
to Fanning and the agony was over.
Hits did it, coupled with the Jackets’
dating and heady base running. A
story of the whole game would read
much the same. But the contest was
won Tight then and further details
would be 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 gre.at
improvement over other games this
season Their base running showed
up well.

TEAM Iff FI
The Tecli 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
out the best the Jackets have.
Coach Thomas has been putting his
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, who
hold good records*, and they can b©
depended upon to bring home tbe
bacon in their events.

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-dut tires Dow 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 i\
Goodyear tire.
In times past
this profit has
averaged about
8K per cent.
And this year,
with our low
ered prices, we
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-
date equipment. None can pos
sibly build equal tires at as low
cost as we.
None dare sell on smaller mar-,
gins. None this year show so large
a reduction. Those are our ways
for keeping cost per mile down to
a record minimum. By No-Rim-
Cut tires, by oversize tires, by the
utmost in quality at an unmatched
price. Come share these immense
economies.
