It was Johnson'-s first defeat after winning 13 straight games. The Senators politely responded by presenting tiio game to their lioata 2 to 1.

I am not very familiar with the Am erican League pitcher*. Judging by the work on the Yankees’ stuff I favor Pennock and Bush over the other*. The Washington club appears to be the steadiest for pitching, with Walter Johnson having another re markable year I batted against John son In an exhibition game In Tamps, Florida, last spring, nnd t must ad mit that the only fast bsll pitcher In our league who compares with John son Is "I'azsy" Vance. You have mv select lons—Pittsburg to beat the Yankees, Brooklyn to beat Washington on pitching, the (Hants weak on pitching, but having a batting punch that should beat the American League.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. "IKnew Her When-” Recalling When Mary K. Browne, Now Famed As a Golfer, Was Queen of the Tennis Courts MARY K. BROWNE OF THE TENNIS COURTS IN 1912. On the tennis courts today. Short aklrts. Bobbed hair. Flying feet. An occasional glimpse of epidermis. Wlzzlng rackets. Volcanic speed. . . . It was a bit different when Mary K. Browne was winning tho national title year after year. (The same Mary K. Browne who recently surprised th* nation by going to tire finals In the national golf tournament on her first appearance In tho event.) Mary and the others were more chaste In the matter of dress. If less BILLY EVANS SAYS "When a pitcher Is having n hlg year he is getting his share of the breaks,” is the way f once heard Walter Johnson sum It up. "Timely hitting by tils teammates, a tight defense that makes it hard for the opposition to score and n dash of pure lurk are just a few of the breaks a winning pitcher must get," added Johnson. Pitching Is one of the most uncer tain features of the game. Incidental ly the most Important. "If T were a left-handed thrower. I would quit playing second base and start pitching in the American Lea gue.” So remarked l abile Collm*. famous second sneker after a recent series in which the Chicago white Sox had faced little hut southpaw pitching "You can win if you can throw left handed." This sure has been a fat year for southpaws In the American League. The remark of Collins that a Player merely has to he a left-handed throw er to Insure success Is his Idea of how soft It Is for a portsbler to win. They do say that a somewhat simi lar condition exists In the National League. Why a left-handed pitcher should' he harder for a left-handed hatter to hit. than a right-hander Is for a right hander. Is one of the mysteries of the game that has never been fully explained Perhaps It Is purely psychological. Right-handers hnv* no fear of right handed pitching T,eft-handed hatters. In a majority of cases, give tip hope the moment they see a southpaw warming up for the opposition. Confidence In one’s ability is. sfter all, one of baseball’* greatest asset*. Mere ability to throw left-handed will hardly get you hv as a Pitcher In the major*, despite the great success the southpaw* have been enjoying Vo left-hander In the American League this vear *•»* more stuff than "Lett'" Fuhr of (he Poston tied Pox Yet Fuhr 's one of the few south paws who failed to make good.

Ruth turned to me and remarked. Well, what do you think of that appealing to the pictorial editors. It was the stylish custom in those days Gleaming white duck skirts that all but swept the turf, waists that screamed their colors to the blue skies., and hats that rested at perilous angles. But the grade of tennis was about as high. Mary K. Browne was just as much a dominant figure from 1912 to 1914 as little Helen Willis is today. And speaking of Helen, we wonder If she'll be able to command the head lines in sport in 1926? fresh busher. He’s going to make good." Before Ruth eould recover from the shock. Whltehill curved over a beauty for the third strike. Whltehill certainly has made good on Ruth's prediction. YANKS DROP TOUGH SERIES. The throe games the Yankees dropped to Tv Cobb's Tigers must have nearly broken Miller Huggins' heart. The Yanks went Into the series in a first-place tie with Washington and emerged two games to the bad. Every game was lost to Detroit by a one-ruti mar gin. GIANTS GET TOUGH BREAK.

WOOSEfELT MIN AFRICA SHWfe. fyW.:solcdlbrhn ' ©.1924 NEA.SeiVice Inc BeGIN HERE TODAY. Robert Foran, newspaper cor respondent, accompanies the Theodore Roosevelt expedition into Africa in 1909. They ar rive at Mombassa, the “gate way to British East Africa,” and then go by train to the first camp on the game-crowd ded Kapiti Plains. With Col onel Roosevelt are his son, Ker mit, and three scientific mem bers of his staff—Major Edgar A. Mearns, Edmund Heller and J. Allen Loring. After a successful shooting trip in the Sotik country, the expedition camps for more hunting at a farm called Sai gai-Sai. They go next to Nai vasha, then to Nairobi during race week, and then return to Naivasha. Foran acts as sec retary to Colonel Roosevelt one morning, and answers many of the unusual letters addressed to the ex-president. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. When we had disposed of the heavy mail matters, he started to dictate to me one of the chapters nf his book. I did not know short hand and so took his dictation straight down on my little type writer. lie dictated quite walk ing about the room as he did so. We*got along fairly well. The an nouncement that lunch was ready brought this interesting morning to an end. CHAPTER XVT. Off to the Elephant Country. The rain did not cease all day, and Roosevelt decided not to go shooting that afternoon. There were only a few more spec imens that were wanted here, most ly birds, and they could wait until It was fine weather. So we sat round the luncheon table in the ho tel dining room and exchanged stories about hunting and other things connected with the country. Next day was fine nnd the sun was shining, and if did not rain during the remainder of our brief stay at Naivasha. Every morning after the first wet day. Colonel Roosevelt and Kermit rode off on a shooting trip. One day Roosevelt brought back with him a great prize, which greatly delighted the heart of Mearns. He had had the great good fortune to discover and kill a fine specimen of the rarest of all Afri can birds, the Jabiru. Us scientific name is Ethiophioryncus Senega lensis. That is what Mearn said it was—and his identification is be yond all question. On another occasion, Mearns, Lor ing, Kermit nnd mysef took Col onel Roosevelt out to try his luck by moonlight with the wily spring hans nnd the African fox. At first he was somewhat nonplussed by* the unaccustomed nature of the sport hut he was soon hard at work and was most successful. He achieved better results, before the evening's sport ended, than anyone else had accomplished. He told me that he was highly amused by the novel experience. At last, the day of departure for the elephant country dawned. The huge caravan started off, with much trumpeting of native horns and much singing. It gave me the impression of a huge, winding snake as it crept away In single file over the brown veldt toward Nyeri. Colonel Roosevelt, Kermit, Heller. Cunninghame nnd Tarlton rode off on tho trail of the porters after they had lunched nt the Rift Valley Ho tel. Their first ramp was to be a spot some few-mlles away from the Joer river. Colonel Roosevelt killed hls first Louisiana State turned Spring Hill back 23 to 0. Sewanee emerged the victor over Southwestern Presbyterian by a score of 34 to 0. Tulane defeated Southwestern Normal 20 to 2. V. M. I. ran away with Emory and Henry to the tune of 46 to 0. Davidson waa able to win from the Presbyterian college of South Carolina by a margin of a field goal. 3 to 0. NorWi Carolina stopped Wake Forest 22 to 0. The difference between Alabama and nion was 13 points in favor of the Tuscaloosa outfit. BULLDOGS TO PLAY MRCER AT ATHENS ATLANTA. Gn.~baseball lingering In the lap of football, the gridiron season claims Its place in the sun, regardless of weather con ditions. throughout the south Sat urday. With few exceptions all the mem bers of the Southern Conference bull elephant near Kenya. I knew how keen he had been to get a com plete group of these elephants for the museum, and how anxious he has been to kill them in a cooler climate so that Heller could have a better chance of saving the com plete skins and in good condition. Although elephants are much big ger and have larger tusks in Ugan da ,yet the difficulties of preserv ing the skins in that country are enormous, owing to the terrific heat. Colonel Roosevelt, therefore, had been most anxious to secure his group in the less torrid climate of East Africa. To skin an elephant takes, at the lowest estimate, three whole days—no matter how profi cient the skinners may be, and from this it may readily be under stood that Heller and Cunninghame had no light task to perform. While Cunninghame was helping Heller to save this first elephant skin. Colonel Roosevelt went off to ward Mweru for a hunt, while Ker mti and Leslie Tarlton hunted to ward the northern Guaso Nyiro •jfcountry. As usual, they were phe nomenally successful. Colonel Roosevelt killed his second bull el ephant near Mwera and Kermit killed five more lions and three more buffalo in the northern Guaso Nyero. After this great fortune they re turned to the government Boma at Mweru and then Kermit went off to hunt elephants. Colonel Roosevelt remaining at Mweru while his sec ond elephant bull was being skin ned. When Heller and Cunninghame ha daccomplished thi3 task, Colonel Roosevelt rode into the northern Guaso Nyiro, where Kermit had en joyed such a good sport. Here Col onel Roosevelt killed two more ele phatns, while Kermit killed one ele phant and a very good rhinoceros. After killing his elephant, Ker mit, accompanied by Leslie Tarl ton, started off for a hunt toward Lake Hannington and Lake Barin go. CHAPTER XVII. Roosevelt and the Discovery of the North Pole. ‘Foran, Nairobi. "Cable Roosevelt's statement on Cook's discovering the North Pole. “MELSTONE.” Tliis Associated Press cable was placed in my hand one morning early In September In the Nor folk Hotel at Nairobi. Immediately 1 sent a telegram to Colonel Roose velt at N'yeri, in the hope that it would reach him there and bring forth a statement for publication on this momentous event. While I was waiting for a reply to this, and a few days after the re ceipt of the first cable from Mr. Melville Stone. I was given another cable from him in New York. This read: “Foran, Nairobi. "Peary also announces reached North Pole. Inorm Roosevelt and endeavcor to get his comment. "MELSTONE.” This cable I also telegraphed to Colonel Roosevelt at Nyeri. and awaited his answer to both of them. A few days later I received a further cable from New York, which read as follows: “Foran, Nairobi. “Forward the following message to Roosevelt. Quote. Your fare well was a royal mascot, the Pole is ours. “PEARY.” Again I telegraphed Colonel Roosevelt at Nyeri. and so far had not received from him any answer to my two earlier messages. There was nothing to do but wait and be patient. It was quite possible that lie was out of touch wlith the tel egraph offices. After some days of patient wnlt- and S. I. A. A. play Saturday. Auburn invades Birmingham for a clash with Birmingham South ern, the game being in the nature of a dedication of Manger bowl, on the Panthers’ campus. Mercer is entertained at Athens in the opening game of the season for the University of Georgia. Eton quits its Tar Heel retreat for a day to try conclusions with the Clemson Tigers at their lair in the South Carolina red hilts. Furman and Newberry meet at Greenville, a few miles awajr.

The same con- SATHRDAY, SEPT. 27 ing, I received a letter written tn pencil from one of his camps in re ply to my three telegrams. This letter was written before Kermit went off from Mweru for Lake Hannington and Lake Barln go, and Roosevelt for the Guaso Nyiro. The letter read: On Safrl. September 12, 1909. Dera Foran: The three cables are at handj' I answer by letter, because I can't get to Mweru for a couple of days any how, and moreover I can explain fetter than by a mere cable. If the news about Pearry’s hav ing gotton to the North Pole is un questionably authentic, and not oth erwise, publish the following from me. “I rejoice over Captain Peary’s great achievement. Too much cred it cannot be given him; he has per formed one of the great feats of the age, and all his countrymen should join in doing him honor.” As for the other two cables. I can not make head or tail out of them. Who is Dr. Cook? What has he dis covered? Why is he going to Copen hagen? How does It concern me any how? Since I last wrote you, I have killed two more elephants and Ker mit has killed one also, and a rhi noceros. Soon Kermit and I sepa rate, he going toward Lake Han nington, and I across to the Guaso .Nyero. Will you tell this to Ward, and the Reuter people? Good luck! Faithfully yours. THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
