[ or to Shake a Bitter Enemy
By Left Hook.
W TH the Southern League sea
son well under way, it looks
very much as if four clubs
are to remain In the thick of the fight
for the pennant during the present
campaign.
New Orleans, Memphis, Birming
ham and Nashville are the clubs that
seem almost sure to battle it out to
the bitter end for the gonfalon. At the
present writing New Orleans leads the
league, three and one-half games
ahead of Memphis, the second team in
the race.
The Chicks are the big surprise of
the season. Briscoe Lord, manager of
the Memphis aggregation, has worked
wonders with this outfit. He took a
rank tail-end ball club at the start of
the campaign, and, after making sev
eral changes in the make-up of the
team, he has a club that ranks with
any team in the circuit.
M ITCHELL, on short, and McDer
mott, on third, are grand ball
players, not saying anything of
Cruthers, the second sacker. and
Dunckel, on first. This quartet has
been playing wonderful ball, and it is
greatly due to the work of the infield
that the Chicks have been brought up
to second place.
Lord, Allison and Stewart form a
trio of crack outfielders, with Bald
win to fill in when necessary. Mer
ritt. Roth, Robertson and Keeley are
ail valuable slabmen. Schlei and An-
dreen are well able to take care of
the catching.

MEW ORLEANS, the league leaders.
will bear watching all season.
Johnny Dohbs, that hustling little pi
lot, has his players well out in front,
and the team as yet has shown no
signs of a let-up. Dobbs has nearly all
new’ players in his outfit, with the ex
ception of Hendryx, outfielder; Bagby
and Weaver, pitchers; Higigns, catch
er. and possibly one or two others.
* * *
B IRMINGHAM and Nashville, the
other two teams in the first divi
sion, ar| made up of players that
should be able to stand the hot pace of
a season’s grind. Molesworth always
manages to have a team that keeps
pace with the leaders. Moley boasts
of some star players, among them
being Hemingway, Sloan, Ellam, Car-
roll, Magee and Coombs.
Learn How to Play
Baseball by Reading
Atlanta Georgian
A NOTHER big treat is to be
given reader* of The Atlan
ta Georgian sporting page*.
Starting in next Thursday’s is
sue of The Georgian, a series of
ston'es will be run by Sam Crane,
baseball expert of the Hearst news
papers and former big league star,
on "How to Play Baseball.”
Crane has written on baseball
for the past twelve years. He
knows the ins and outs of the
game, and his advice will prove
valuable to future greats as well
as professional stars.
Don’t miss this series. The first
story will be run next Thursday.
Every young aspirant to baseball
honors should read this series.
XT A SHVILLE’S return to the rham-
pionship race comes as a result
of President Shropshire grabbing
"Rube” Kissinger, George Kircher and
Pitcher Bushleman. Of the reinforce
ments Nashville has received, Kissin
ger is probably two-thirds of the new
offense. __
None of the Southern clubs—New
Orleans, Birmingham, Atlanta or Mo
bile- played fifty-fifty ball on the re
cent trip. Birmingham, however,
showed to better advantage than the
other three, winning seven and losing
nine. The Pelicans got away with ten
lost and six won, but the majority
lost were by a margin of one run.
* * *
S O figure where Nashville and Mem
phis must be considered in the
championship race, it is only neces
sary to glance over past perform
ances. During the stop on home
grounds Nashville played better ball
than any of the northern clubs, boost
ing her standing 154 points. Mem
phis, too, climbed, for the Chicks cop
ped eight out of twelve battles.
Golf News—By Chick Evans
r j'v"
\WO caddies reached the upper
end of the golf links after a
run from school. From their
position they could see every player
on the short nine-hole course, but the
face of each one was indistinguish
able. To the casual observer these
persons on the links were merely
golfers, but to these boys, who were
pausing for a moment to see what
good jobs were out, they were indi-
vidunls.
"There’s Mr. Duval going to ‘he
seventh,” said one; "I could tel! that
swing a mile off.”
"They’re playing a threesome." said
the other boy; "see, that’s Mr. Wood,
who just played his second, and Mr.
LeDuc over in the rough taking one
of his million practice swings. I like
to caddie for good players—don’t you,
Jimmie? There’s old man Smith putt
ing on the fourth green, and there’s
Mr. Strawn driving from the fifth
tee.”
What this little conversation of the
caddies shows is that every golfer
has a different and easily recogniz
able swing. I am absolutely sure that
if by some means a player could he
made invisible and T could only see
the qlub I would know who was re
sponsible for the swing. Your pro
fessional teaches you his swing or f he
swing of some successful golfer, but
the result of that teaching will be
something different owing to individ
ual details.
The swings of the successful golf
ers are in the main the same, but
they all have these little individual
adjustments. No two players have
the same preliminary motions of ad
dress and when the stroke is finished
the watching of the hall has indi
vidual characteristics. With a little

more of the trunk, Smith, Brown tnd
Robinson have managed to acquire a
stroke that is all their own.
This leads me to a point that I
think very important in the teaching
of a player. The great fault of prea-
ent-day instruction is too great at
tention to detail. Now. detail Is large
ly associated with individual char
acteristics and must be adjusted to
them. My belief is that one should
get the general ideas and see that
they are rigidly adhered to, hut
should let the Uttle distinguishing
marks take care'of themselves.
The big argument to be advanced
in support of this theory is that a
player can not think of 101 little rules
and make a good golf shot at the
same time. From his professional, or
from his friends who happen to be
good golfers, a man may learn the un
derlying principles of a good swing,
but upon his own physique will rest
the individual characteristics. Golf
swings vary just as much as the per
sons whcmake them. In the main we
are all alike, but in small details we
are all different.

Pitching Records in
Danger This Season
To pitch a no-hlt game Is the fond
est desire of every major league twirl-
er, and heretofore this feat has been
considered one of the rarest perform
ances in baseball.
This feat was performed the great
est number of times In 1884 by Pitchers
McKeon Atkisson, Morris, Mountain
and Kimber. From then up until the
present year, four times ?n a season Is
the greatest number of times It has oc
curred. and the number of performances
exceedingly small. This season is bare- i
Iv over six weeks old. and already three 1
no-hlt games have taken place.
1 The first to perform the feat this sea - i
son was Rube Marquard. of the New
York Giants, holder of the record for
winning the greatest number of conse
cutive games. The second twirler to
attain this degree of perfection was
Pitcher Frank Allen, of the Pittsburg
Federals. The other no-hlt games was
pitched by Claude Hendrix, of the Chi
cago Federal League club, against the
Pittsburg Rebels, in Pittsburg.
The number of one, two. three and
four-hit games that have been played
this season give reason for critics to ex
pect that pitching records of years’
standing are to be shattered this sea
son. and that the no-hit feat will be per
formed at least ten times.
The question as to whether the bat
ters are growing weaker, or the pitch
ers morg efficient, Is the one that is
foremost in the minds of baseball fans
to-day. and It la a mighty difficult one
to answer.

bert Gallant in a bout billed to go
ten rounds, while on Wednesday
night Charlie White, the greatest
knockerout in the lightweight class,
tackles Young Brown, the Eastern

with Gallant it will be his first ap

the old champions still hold to
the idea that they are as good
as they ever were. My attention was
called to this the other day, when
Jess Willard wag introduced to Bob
Fitzsimmons. The latter congratu
lated Willard on his splendid victory,
then, turning away to some friend?,
said:
“Give me a few months In which to

Fact of the matter is, that Fitz would
stand about as much chance against
the present champion as would a

Dante returned.
The big Kansan would handle Fitz

and Its products He is firm In hi? |
conviction that Dixie raises the fair- !
est women, the bravest men, the best J
cotton, the most sublime mint juleps
and all the rest of the orator’s stock
in trade, but he makes one excepting
to the South's superlative? He can’t
agree that the South is responsible [
for the best first basemen, and he ha? |
tried more Southerners at that job on i
his Cleveland club than anv other I
magnate extant Colonel Ed Hohn- |
horst, of Kentucky; Colonel Griggs,
of Texas; Doctor .Lphnston. of Ten- |
nessee; Colonel Wood, of Arkansas;
Colonel Shields, of Mississippi, and |
Colonel Rarbare, of North Carolina,
have all been tried on the initial sack !
at Napville and they’ve all failed.
Even the Peerless and Shoeless Colo
nel Joseph Jackson, of South Caro-j
lina, fell down when he tackled this j
Job.
