Whiting I K the Tech athletic authorities es cape through to-day without kill ing anybody it will be the mercy of Providence—and no thanks to anybody else. If the weather is anything like half-way good at game time there will be a smashing crowd at Grant Held to witness the Jnal game of the college season. And that crowd will have no more protection from wild hits and wild throws than as though they were tied to the pitch er’s slab. Yesterday It was a miracle nobody was Injured. Almost every Inch of the space be hind the catcher’s box was crowded with enthusiasts—many of them women. Ball after ball went crash ing through that crowd with light ning speed. One fan—a gray haired man unable to dodge rapidly w r as struck above the eye by a foul, and went bleeding In search of a doctor. After his wound had been dressed he courageously remained to see it out—through one eye That women or children w f ere not hurt was sheer, providential luck. They were absolutely unprotected. “\X7E did the best we could." the W Tech authorities will no doubt say, "we have a new field and we have not been able to Install wire netting's and enough seats to look out for the fHns In safe places." True. BUT: 1- The game could have been play ed at Ponce Dala-on, where ample protection is afforded 2 The police and the attendants could have kept clear, at least of women, and children the ZONES of EXTRA DANGER which lie behind the catcher's box and Immediately beside the first ami third base lines "It would cost money to play the games at Ponce." will be urged, ‘and we must pay for the new plant." True also, but are the lives of women and children to he balanced against gnte receipts? Protection should be afforded the patrons of baseball games College authorities are all too like ly to forget the reasons why they are playing baseball—that It Is for the development of the bodies of their students and for the promotion of frlendlv athletic rivalry between the colleges Bui when they risk lives they are going too far. $12,000,000 Left by Pirie; $1,000 for Son HEMPSTEAD, N.

Blimt NELSON A CORKING semi-windup for the Jim Flynn-Jlm Savage bout at the * Auditorium-Armory on June 9 was clinched this morning when Mike Saul and Terry Nelson agreed on terms for a ten-round mill. Here is a match that should be the greatest slugging affair ever held in an Atlanta ring. Mike gave up boxing about a year ago to referee. Now he wants to get back In the game again But his “come back” will be a tough one, for Nelson Is one of those fellow’s who care« nothing about boxing. He wants to slug from the first tap of the gong until the end. Mike, however, Is the same sort of a chap. He doesn’t know very much about the clever end of the game, but he packs an awful kick in that left hand. Mike had knocked out about everybody he has met. Atlanta fans thought he was a coming champion until he bumped up against Jake Abel. Abel won the fight in seven rounds, but Mike has always claimed that he wasn’t right that night. At that, Saul floored Abel four times before he was beaten. It was a des perate mill. Saul will start training Monday. He has selected the Metropolitan Club as his training camp. When Flynn arrives he will probably train with Mike. Nelson will do most of his work In Chattanooga, coming over to Atlanta about three days before the bout to put on the finishing touches. Another ten-round bout will prob ably be arranged for to-day. It the plan of the promoters to stage three ten-rounders, all of which w r ould prove headliners at most any club.

She has taken a house called Latch- mere on Ham Common, a London suburb. Their intimates say the Duke tried hard to persuade his wife to divorce him, but she refused. Her mother, Mrs. Cornwallis-West, strongly sup ported her In this determination.

PHAIR. A NYONE who turns back the musty pages of baseball his tory and notes closely cannot fall to discover tha* nearly all Die pennant winners o2 previous vears had one catcher on their roster who has done the bulk of the receiving through the previous season. Sullivan caught the most games fo- the White Sox when they copped ;n 1906. Schmidt was king bee receiver for the Detroit Tigers in 1907. Kling was the man most prominent behind the bat when the Cubs turned the pennant winning trick in 1908. Gibson did the heavy work through out 1900, the year Pittsburg came on* first. Meyers was the whole -show in 1912. when the Giants won out. This fact leads immediately to the uuestlon as to whether or not it is better for one catcher to do nil the work, or to distribute the receiving equally among three or four men. The one-catcher-for-all-games the ory, hard as It is on the man who is scheduled to work every day, seems, from the standpoint of experience, to be the best. Still, there are argu ments both ways. Says i* Wears Man Out. One side contends that to have one player work all the time tends to wreak havoc with the club if h“ should be hurt. Again, this side maintains that some receivers handle one pitcher better than they do an other. Lastly, it is declared thr.t catching day after day wears a man out. Opponents- of this side reply to the first argument to the effect that it rarely happens for o'ne catcher doing the bulk of the work, to be out for a very long time: and that the other catchers tire well able to take care of the backstopping until the bast man comes back. To the second contention the an swer is made that if a catcher is a good man, he should be able to handle all shoots, come from whomsoever they may. They illustrate this with the case of Walter Johnson, whose effectiveness was said to be doom-d with the release of Charley Street. Yet when Street w as released to New York, John Henry did just as well Thirdly, It is declared tha,t catch ing every day hasn’t worn out any star to any great extent yet, the ma jority of receivers being physically able to endure hard work. Both sides have able contentions. There have been instances in the his tory of the game, undoubtedly, when the absence of a star backstop, fro -1 Injury or other causes, has rendered ineffective the pitchers, everything being restored to equanimity when the veteran donned the "stuff” again. Pitchers Show Preference. There have been instances, too, when pitchers seemed to have work ed better with a particular catcher behind the plate. Blanding maintains he likes Steve O’Neill as a receiver as he always seems to work bet'er with the stocky Pennsylvania lad than with any of the others. And there have been illustrations where hard work has killed a good catcher. There are some who always will maintain that Johnson’s terrific shoots, handled uncomplainingly day after day by Street, finally broke the former Washington star backstop s great endurance, and were the cause of his being sent back to New York whence he later drifted to Chatta nooga. It is'an open fact that inflelders work most successfully when there 's a man handling the pitcher’s shoots in whom they have entire confidence —a confidence born of steady and continuous work week in and we:k out. They know where his weak points are (and each receiver has one or two failings, slight as they may ba) and are constantly on the lookout for them. The same principle seems to applv to a catcher as it does to an infielder himself. If the latter Is disabled in any way the substitution of a utility man tends to demoralize the team play.

It Makes You Look and Feel the Picture of Real Health. The purpose of the kidneys being to filter the blood the question of treating supposed kidney weakness should be considered carefully. In stead of drugs and alleged 'kidney stimulants the better plan Is to puri fy the blood with an antidotal ef fect such as you get from S. S. s. It should be remembered that the kidneys are made up of a fine net work of blood vessels, and it is to stimulate the functional activity of kidney tissue through this capillary net work that S. S. S. shows one of its most remarkable effects The medicinal value of the compo nents of S. S. S. is relatively just a-s vital to healthy kidney action as the nutriments obtained from grain, meat, fats, sugars, or any other part of our daily food is to the natural reconstructive requirements of the tissues. And there is one component of S. S. S. which serves the active purpose of stimulating the cellular tissues of the kidneys fo a healthy and judicious selection of Its own essential nutriment. Thus, in cases of rheumatism, cystitis, chronic sore throat, huskiness of voice, bronchi tis, asthma, and the myriad of other reflex indications of weak kidney ac tion, first purify your blood with S S. S. so it will enable the tissues to rebuild their cellular strength and re gain their normal health. S. S. S. Is prepared by the Swift Specific Co., 137 Swift Bldg., Atlanta, Ga., and if you have.any deep-seated or obstinate blood trouble, write to their Medical Dept, for free advice. It will be worth your while to do so. You will find S. S. S. on sale at all drug stores. Men’s Shoes Soled Sewed at 50c GWINN’S SHOE SHOP luckie street, opposite piedmont hotel. BELL PHONE IVY 4131.
