 fieldeHs Error. Two out in Final Inning. When Mer- cer Inhelder Fails to Catch Au- burn First Stacker
 at Third.

Macon. Ga, March 27.--(special.)- The Auburn team defeated Mercer again today. scoring the only run of the game in the ninth inning after two were out. It was a no-hit. no-run vic- tory for Thomas, the young southpaw, who pitched a very clever game. al, though wild at times.
 The game was one Of the best exhi- biti6ns by college teams ever seen in Macon. Both nines iAd number of chances to score by getting a hit. but the hit was never forthcoming. Mer- cer had several opportunities, owing to the number of men walked by Thom- as. but they couldn't hit the southpaw.
 In the ninth inning. however. after Hall flew out to first. Mccoy got his second hit of the game. a scorcher through the pitchers box. Red Smith sent hard one between flrst and see- ond. which the second baseman just did field. retiring Smith al first. On the play Mccoy went to second and start cd for third.

ONE ARM TWIRLER
 MAKES A REDORD

With one of his arms missing, George Ely, second baseman of the Maiers baseball team, of Los Angeles. Cal. Is one of the best pitchers and second basemen in Southern California. Ely lost his left arm when a boy at school. For number of years he pitched win ming ball on the local high school team, and as for batting. no one has any thing on him.
 During a recent game at San Diego Ely made a home run off & professional pitcher while playing the California Winter League. The way he knocked the nose off the ball made him a real hero. The pitcher was also shy of George after that.
 Able-bodied players prefer to take chances with two-armed men rather than Ely. as he is always sure to tag the man out who visits the Keystone sack. In the Winter. League season just closed. Ely led the second base men of the team in batting with mark of 300. On the Salt Lake team that won the pennant of the Southern League. Ely was one of the drawing cards.
 He has a brother. John. who Is also some in the baseball game. and. al- though not a cripple, he does not be- long in the same class as George. Nights the one earned player is call boy at the Salt Lake Railroad Com pany's office, and during his spare mo- ments studies at the telegraph key. He is but 19 years old and Is a natural born ball player.

HORACE FOGEL LIKES
 ATHLETIC YOUNGSTERS

Horace S. Fogel. who is with the Philadelphia Athletics, Tn writing from Mobile says: When Manager Macs ,aCs distance phone from Montgomery that his youngsters had beaten the Mont gomery team in a redhot game there yesterday afternoon to E. the squaa here in charge of Captain Davis sat un and took notice. That is because more than one of the players now with the regular team has been nervous about losing his job to new recruit Showed up so well in the first two days practice at New Orleans. And to tell the truth the veterans are be- ginning to feel more uneasy as to their
 "Manager Mack's broad declaration at New Orleans that there Is not place filled as yet on this years team. or, in other words. that not single player in the squad of thirty Is sure of a place, didn't have a very soothing effect upon those who are feeling any apprehension about their future. As result there Is more anxiety among the hunch to go out and work hard daily and put in long hours both morning and afternoon than I have ever seen before in the spring practice Of any team.
 was up early and dressed by o'clock for a long run which lasted over two hours and then, after rubdown and luncheon. Captain Davis and all of his men were again in their playing togs by 2 o'clock and off for the ball park, where they kept up hard. fast pracs tice for three hours in one stretch. As a result the entire crew was pretty well tired out from the first days work here. and most of the boys were in bed before 10 o'clock.
 "These youngsters Manager Mack has gathered in are certainly making the veterans work hard this spring trying to hold on to their jobs. Barring the battery men. 1t looks at present as If Baker at third and Davis at first. job. and he is playing the initial bag after the fasbion of Hal Chase. were the only two men in the squad here at Mobile sure of regular positions on this years team. Of course Murphy is sure of a place. too, hut it's a question whether Danny wlIi be placed at sec ond base or in the outfeld.
 Tt seems inevitable that regular place must be made on the team for uable to be sacrificed. Collins is quite a different player from last season. when he was too severely handicapped by illness to show his real worth He has filled out and grown bigger. and is now a robust youngster who will hardly be recognized at first by the fans In Philadelphia when they see him on April 1.
 And what's more to the point. Ed ing good game at second, so that after all he will probably get that position and Murphy he returned to the outf1efd. which wilt then leave only two posi- tions for Hartsel. OldrinR. Heitmuller. Jackson and Strunk to fight for"

Auburn, Mar. 27.-(Special.)-Th baseball team by means of much need- ed practice Is rapidly being hammer" ed in shape. The pitchers are in bet ter condition than the rest of the team because they have been able to loosen out their arms in odd moments. In this department Thomas. new man, is showing up well> and promises to assist Reynolds in good shape. By the time of the games with Howard on the campus the team will be going at rapid gait. It Is hoped that games with Montgomery can be arranged.
 Under the leadership of Capt. Streit' there is more interest in track work than ever before. Between forty and fifty candidates are working daliy. There seems to be good deal or lkets material in the distance runs ano jumps Carlysle is going faster thar ever in the half and ought to push any man in the South at this distance and Batty ought to lm- prove considerably over last seasons form in the mile.

Tafts anatomy he decided not to press the subject further. And so the famous match did not come off. although it may next summer. But the incident is as characteristic of the new Presidents fondness for his chosen pastime as was that of Presi- dent Roosevelt in taking a long horse- back ride on the last day of his term.
 It is around New York that the greatest number of golfers are hoping for the effect of the Presidents stamp of approval to put golf ahead of ten- his once more. This Is only natural since sixty or seventy thousand golf CTS make use of its nearby links. The real estate value of which exceeds $50. 100000. The great majority of these are on Long Island. which is indeed a regular golfers paradise with Garden City. the home of MT. Travis. the center In a large part, because of
 Other localities, however, are already showing the effect of President Taft's fondness for golf. At Scarsdale, up in Westchester County, million dollar hotel is to be constructed in the mid dle of a famous golf course-a golf hotel, as it were-And all through that territory golf is on the boom. At Lawrence Park West, only short train ride from the city. a new r~2S0- acre course Is shortly to be opened Practically all the well-known courses are extending their facilities and in- creasing their membership at an un- usual rate. -
 If MT Roosevelt were not going to Africa things might be different. since with his Oyster Bay home on Long Is- land he might put up characteristic fight for his favorite pastime, but with him out of the way 1t seems likely that President Taft's example will set the tide of athletic fashion again toward golf It Is a curious coincidence. too, in this connection. that ex-President Roosevelt Is turning to just the same pastime as did ex-President Cleveland that is shooting-though on a more elaborate scale.
