SPORTOGRAMS
The Southern Intercollegiate season
has about closed. With a few more games
the collegians will lay aside their bats
for a season. The year has been pro
ductive of no great teams in the South.
Of them all Auburn and Virginia stand
out as about the best. Virginia is not
properly classed among the others as she
plays but few games with teams of this
section. The best the Virginians could
do against Georgia was an even break on
her own grounds—while Auburn beat the
Georgians.
On the other hand Auburn lost to Mer
cer, while the Baptists dropped three to
Red and Black. Tech had nothing re
markable in the way or a team.. They
were beaten by Auburn and got an even
break with the Athenians. The last se
ries, by the way, tieing the two teams for
the state championship.
The Red and Black aggregation were a
bunch of youngsters who couldn’t keep
the errors down and thereby losing sev
eral important games. They dropped but
one series, however, and that to Auburn.
They were somewhat weak on experience
in the box. Philpot and Westbrook did
most of the work, and were both good
but neither of them seasoned players In
all probability another year will se a
great improvement in Philpot’s work. As
it was he pitched some great games for
the Red and Black and is largely re
sponsible for the high rating of the team.
Of the S. T. A. A. teams we would
place Auburn first with the second place
undecided. Except for Mercer’s victory
over the Alabamaians we would place
Georgia and Tech second, and, while the
Baptist lost to the two Georgia teams,
their victory over Auburn precludes the
possibility of rating them third or fourth.
How many straights have the Tourists
won? We have lost the count.
On top! On top! An even break on
the road and we are after that old rag
for fair!
Goodbye, Montgomery, we are sorry to
see you leave. You are a bunch of good
players and good sports. Welcome next
time.
Hall pitched eight innings without al
lowing a single ball, except one that went
for a hit, to go fair to the outfield—and
we claim that’s some pitching.
Vaughan did well in the box, holding
the locals to seven hits. His support
was ragged in spots, however.
Have you noticed how few r of the locals
add strike-outs to their batting records.
Brouthers knows the old game. He al
ways draws a throw' when he is on the
bags—and a little inside stuff often wins
a game, you know.
Roth’s catch of a foul to the fence was
a feature of yesterday’s game.
At last we had a big crowd. They
overflowed yesterday to the grass and
stretched to the fence. That’s the kind
of a crowd this team deserves.
Why do we laugh when the umps gets
hit?

which separates the always valuable
butter fat and leaves the skimmed
milk. To the skimmed milk is added a
pure culture of lactic acid germs which
is called a "starter." The temperature
is then brought up to 70 degrees Fah
renheit and kept there until the milk
is thoroughly curdled. It is then churn
ed 40 minutes, just as cream is chrun
ed in butter-making.
This produces a smooth, thick arti
cle which is quickly cooled to 60 de
grees Farhenheit or less to prevent fur
ther acidity. It is then drawn into
sterilized bottles, closed with a steril
ized cap, and kept cold until consumed.

But they are harmless germs.
Although not so nourishing as skim
med milk, buttermilk is still one of the
chaepest foods obtainable. One ordi
nary glass of buttermilk contains as
much nourishment as half a pint of
oysters or two ounces of bread or bak
ed potatoes.
Many cases of Bright's disease, nerv
ous prostration and stomach troubles
are greatly benefited by a buttermilk
diet. It is not well to use it where
there is an over-acidity of the stomach.
