 In the South.
 Having been in New York all the fall and winter, ! am more familiar with the scores of the big games here than with those of the games played in Dixie In a general way. however, am certain that the goal from the field served a use- full purpose there.
 The Tennessee-Alabama game, played on Thanksgiving in Birmingham, was won by Alabama when Pratt kicked the ball between the posts Hodgson of Georgia kicked two field goals against Clemson, and defeated that college by a score of to 0. Had the field goal last fall counted for three instead of four points, Alabama would have won from the h. dians by a score of only g to 8. As to whether or not the new rule will work well remains to be seen. The bet ter all around team often failed to win on account of an inferior aggregation pos sessng a good punter. HZyever, the four points for which goal from field counted served to balance up two aggre- gations, and made battles close that oth- erwise might have been uninteresting.

LEGALIZE SUNDAY BASEBALL.
Legislator Jackson Intro oduces Bill In
 Arkansas House.

Little Rock, April 1S.-Baseball men have a friend in Hon. J. M. Jackson. state representative from the Helena dis trict. He has introduced a measure to legalize Sunday baseball in Helena, which may mean statewide games on the Sab bath eventually.
 Representative Johnson has represented his district since 1906, and is a member of one of the first families of Phillips county. He takes great fancy in base ball. but believes that the workingman who cannot see Uncle Sans pastime on week days should not be barred from that privilege on account of Protestant views of the Sabbath sport.
 Mir. Jackson is prominent in connection with the St. Frances levee affairs, and Is liberal in his views of the statewide and local option questions.

The Barons Go To Atlanta Today

New York, April 13.-(Special Cor respondence. )-What would have hap pened last fall if a goal from the field had counted three points instead of four, as will be the case in this years football campaign? Doubtless many gridiron enthusiasts have asked themselves that question, and with insufficient data at hand, have failed to come to any satisfac-- tory conclusion in the matter. The proposition will bear study from sev- eral angles. First of all, Yale would have been defeated by Brown, under the new rule, and Lafayette would not have taken the measure of the latter team in an earlier game Yale tied Brown 10 to 10 with one goal from the field to the Blues credit, and Lafayette defeated Brown to 6 with two goals from the field. It follows naturally that if the new rule had been operative the respective scores would have been: Brown 10, Yale 9. and Lafayette 6, Brown 6.
 
 from the field figured, the new rule would not have changed the result ma terially. The Indians, Michigan liar yard, Annapolis and Lafayette prof ited most by the goal from the field. In 25 games 1t was a scoring factor A times.
 Disregarding the value of the play fp potptc it ic iptarae+t1o ,,o4o a. reference to the appointed table that in five games-Indiana 12, Syracuse o; Layfayette 8, Brown 0; Indiana 16, Navy 6; Harvard f. and Yale 0. and Am herst 4, Williams 0-the winners did all their scoring by drop or placement kicking. The same play enable 12 teams to prevent a shut out.
 The following shows at a glance how the goal from the ield-counting four points-hgured in the principal con tests:

Hemp, infielder and Johkers, catcher,

 wonderful arm. Both would serve managers of smaller leagues well. Manager Molesworth has
 made strenuous efforts to place both, but to no avail.

STORM CANCELS GAME.


 The little cyclone that ragged around Birmingham Monday night, in blowing down the fence around the West End baseball park, necessitated the cancelling of the game sched- uled today between the Barons and Lou Castro's Augusta ag- gregation.
 The heavy rain which followed the wind, flooded the diamond. rendering 1t united for imme- diate use. With these facts staring him in the face, aided by the judgment that on ac- count of the weather the att tendance would be so small that game would not be profit able, Manager Molesworth wired Castro not to come. Neither team could have played to ad- vantage and there was a dan ger, too, that some one, on the eve of the season, might sus- tain an injury.

SPLENDID SUGGESTION.

The following from the facile pen of Dick Kinds of the Mobile / Register is as sensible a para graph as was ever inscribed:
 Predictions of pennant win ners over the circuit are plenti- full. Every club has some sup porters for first honors, but it's all opinion. Baseball is the most uncertain of all sports. Nobody knows who will win and paper dope has been proved time and time again to be valueless. The Sea Gulls may land the flag and they may not. Who can tell? One thing, however, is sure about baseball, and that is no club ever won a pennant with out loyal support and cooper ation of the fans. There has been some hammering going on over the city, as is the case everywhere, but let's start out right this year, and if there's to be any knocking, let 1t come after everybody has had a square deal"

WITH THE SCRIBES.

l Sport writers who have passed through here after seeing Little Rock perform agree that Mike Films and Jack O'Con- | nors proteges make up a very bad team. It's a joke to stack them up against Memphis" said w. H. Lannigan of the St. Louis Times. Me, too,' chimed in James Crusinberry and Brice Hoskins, St Louis sport writers. And Allen Sloan, sporting editor of the St. Paul News. who was at Little Rock three weeks with the Saints, says Finn's present squad will never do if other Southern teams are in about the same class as Memphis.-Mem- phis News-Scimitar.
 T have not the slightest idea, however" said Lou Castro. "as has been reported, of going to Venezuela to claim the place made vacant by the deposed President am very happily employed now, and find that managing ball club is about as near to being in the center of Venezuelan insurrection as anything I know of.
 For that reason I do not see how l would improve conditions any by making change.
 Later in the year if the fans get after lie in Augusta, l may be obliged to make hurried trip to my old home, but unless things come to a sudden halt here l will remain, and let some of the other Castros have the Venezuelan honors. ."-Atlanta Journal.
 Ball players are superstitious lot, and this goes for managers as well.
 Charley Babb has never won a pennant for Memphis, though in the race to the finish each season. He's never had a parade before the opening game.
 Because he never copped a flag when the season opened without pomp or for mality he's going to have parade with all the trimmings next Thursday. Brass band mounted police, home and visiting players in carriages, also some of the ar dent rooters, Fisher, Abe Frank, Jimmie Coan and others, if Babb can persuade them. Mayor Malone, Ed Crump and John T. Walsh are some of the dignitaries who will be asked to take a free ride to the park, also. Then 1t is hoped to per suade Mayor Malone to toss the first pill across the plate. Der Boss Is after the flag hot and heavy. Let's root for him to get it-Memphis News-Scimitar.

Big Bulgarian Has Defeated All Corners Without
 Losing a Fall
SINCE HACKENSCHMIDT
 GOTCH WITHOUT PRACTICE
Still Many Believe the American Will Take the Foreigners Measure. Money Even Today-Com-
 pairing the Men.

Chicago. April 13-Frank Gotch of Hum- bolt, la, and Yussuf Mahmout of Bull garja will battle for the wrestling cham pionship of the world at the international ampitheatre here tomorrow night. This will be the first real test Gotch has had since he won the coveted mat honors from George Hackenschmidt here little more than a year ago.
 Mahmout has shown himself one of the greatest wrestlers who has ever visited this country. He has defeated every grappler of class in the country outside of Gotch.
 Mahmout Defeats Many.
 In the short time he has been in this country he has defeated Tom Jenkins, Fred Beel, Charles Olsen, Gus Schoenlen, Raoul de Rouen and many others. In all these matches the Bulgarian has never lost a single fall. He is man of tre- mendous strength and apparently his wonderful powers of endurance have no limit It is suspected he has not been called upon to use all his reserve strength in the matches in which he has partici- pated in this country Mahmout has never met Hackenschmidt, but he is considered his equal by many wrestling followers who have seen both men in action.
 Gotch has not done much wrestling since he won the worlds championship from Hackenschmidt "The Russian Lion" was successful in lodging Gotch and the Iowan returned to this country for a match with Mahmout. Since his return Gotch defeated Raoul de Rouen, the 26o-pound Frenchman. in easy style.
 Equal In Weight.
 The two men will be nearly equal in weight when they step into the ring 197 pounds and Mahmout will tip the beam at close to 200 pounds
 Gotch will have decided advantage in height as he is about three or four inches taller than his opponent
 Ed W. Smith, who refereed the Gotch- Hackenschmidt match will be the third man in the ring tomorrow night.
 There Is comparatively little betting on the outcome of the bout and most of the money is being wagered at evens.
 There has been large sale of seats and it is expected close to 10000 specta- tors will witness the struggle.
 Gotch sprang a surprise tonight that may cause trouble before the men get into the ring. Mahmout has been in the habit of wrestling in his bare feet, but Gotch insists that he wear shoes tomorrow night Gotch says the rules clearly provide that all wrestlers wear gymnasium shoes. The men will hold a conference with Referee Smith to- morrow afternoon and decide the mat ter.
