IT. HE Atlanta Motorcycle club,
an organization of $50 local
men, has a great big kick
to make. And it is just one. too.
For some reason or other they are
being deprived Of their rights. The
following letter to the writer ex-
plains itself:
Atlanta. Ga, Aug 20, 1912.
w. 5. Farnsworth, Sporting Editor
The Georgian.
Dear Sir: The Atlanta Motorcycle
club, numbering about $50 young men
OF the city, wishes to be heard from on
the Piedmont park question.
Recently we wanted to hold a mo-
torcycle race meet and being unable
toF get the use of the Piedmont park
half mile track we had to go to Rome.
Ga, our little neighbor of 20, 900 popu-
latton, to get a track to ride on. The
grounds at Piedmont park were closed
by the city fathers to all fairs. ex-
positions and pay amusements and
promised to the people free as a play
ground.
The ball teams Of the City league
are allowed to use the baseball dla-
monds, the concessionaire at the lake
is allowed to hold swimming matches
and the like to attract crowds, and yet
the motorists OF the city are denied
the use of the splendid driving track
The club has taken the matter up
with Manager Carey, of the park
board and after considering the mat
ter he Is favorable to allowing the
track to be used, but the park board
purposely took this out Of his hands
by passing a special order prohibit
Ing bicycles, motorcycles and automo-
biles from using the track
Inc reason given Is that people are
crossing the track to go to the lake
They should be reminded that there is

fering of the entire Southern
league?
Don't McAllister and Seabough
stand up as fine pair of catchers
alongside Of such giants of the past
as Jim Archer, Ed Sweeney, Mig"
Clarke, Sid Smith and few more?
oh, elegant! McAllister Is a fair
man, nothing more. Seabough was
canned by the second worst team
in the league in mid season and Is
not due to last very long in Glass A
company.
McGilvray Is pretty sorry Star
Of the First Basemen." He doesn't
measure up to the standards of
other days-Jake Daubert, Jim Fox
in his prime, or any one of dozen
that might be mentioned His bat
ting Is excellent and above the
average But his fielding is
crime.
Wares. OF Montgomery, is toll
erably good second baseman, ac-
cording to the averages.
Almeida Is a useful third base
man because OF his grand sticking
But he's a sorry fielder, even if he
has done good work on the Atlanta
diamond, Elberfeld at short is
playing good ball, though neither
his batting nor his fielding record is
remarkable
T is In the outfleld that the pres
ent league shows weakest
Johnson is a fair man, according
to the present averages, but he
would have to play longer to make
IT certain that he could keep up
such work. WelchonCe Is a gem
timely good outfielder. but no star.
Stengle is Just an average man.
Compare these chaps with the
great outfielders Of the Southern
leagues past-Speaker, Jackson
and the boys who have made good
in the big leagues, not to mention
men like Daddy" DUNCAN, Moles-
worth, Winters, Wiseman and the
chaps who grew old in Southern
league harness
Oh yes, it's a fine league this
year.
But nobody will be sorry If next
years effort is just shade better

Al-Star Team Proves Weakness of the League
In But Few Positions Are Men Up to Standard

You cant figure anybody else In,
however, for Sykes, who is leading
the regulars in fielding. is batting
only .2S5, and Agler, who is second
in fielding. is batting nowhere.
Wares Is out by himself among
the second basemen. He leads the
second sackers in both batting and
fielding. Alperman is a good sec
ond, with a batting mark around
the two seventies and a fielding
record OF 959.
Almeida gets his position the
same as McGilvray does-because
Of good batting and despite poor
fielding. His smuggling mark is 800.
but he is fielding next to last
among the regulars. Spencer, of
New Orleans, has much more con-
sistent marks-.27 in batting and
$50 in fielding
Among the shortstops It is a toss
up, HARRISON is leading the short
felders in batting. with a hefty
mark, but he is next to the worst
fielding shortstop In the league
Balenti, who Is batting Just behind
HARRISON, is fielding just one posi-
ton better Elberfeld is no star
at either batting or fielding. but
gets the position for lack of a bet
ter man
the outfield the stars aren't
peculiarly plentiful Johnson.
Of Montgomery is batting 1854 and
fielding "a thousand" But he has
been in only 80 games. Welchonce
is proving himself a real star with
weak team and Is entitled to
position. Stengle kicks In. despite
the fact that he stands fifteenth
among the regular fielders of the
league. The only man who presses
him even close for position Is
Jimmy Johnston, OF Birmingham.
The rest Of the outflelders are
total loss, as far as the averages
show
N OW, disregarding the pitchers
for lack OF real statistics Ca
mere record OF games won" proves
nothing), isn't that a pretty sorry
team to stand out as the best of

NTOTHlNG Is bet'eF cd'ou'''e"
~ to show what a dub year
this good season of 1912 has
been in Southern league baseball
than the weakness of the all-star
team, picked according TO the aver
ages.
This is the team automatically
selected from the latest crop of
figures

OF course, that is not necessarily
~ the real all-star team of the
league But the best players, ac-
cording TO the averages, are there.
McAllister, OF Montgomery, gets
the position of leading catcher be-
cause Of his good batting and de-
spite the fact that In fielding he
stands seventh among the regulars.
Seabough Is second among the
catchers in batting and third in
fielding, so he is entitled to the
other position. Dilger, a really
good fielding catcher is out on the
strength Cor rather weakness) Of a
.l7S batting average. The once
highly touted Elliott is down to
1855 in batting and stands third
from last in fielding Haight, of
New Orleans, has pretty decent
marks. with a batting average OF
.255 and a fielding OF .97s, which
puts him second in fielding.
7 COOKING over the inf1eld, It is a
- pretty easy matter TO pick
those entitled to positions. McGil-
vrays good batting average gives
him first place among the first
basemen And that despite the
fact that he is next to the worst
fielding first baseman in the league

Those constitutional Amend'ts

Iroquois Chief-It will be remem-
bered that the legislature, at the
strenuous request of Big Ira Curtiss,
cut out the publication of constitu-
tional amendments and referred
laws in the newspapers and provided
for their distribution in pamphlet
form. The pamphlets were sent
out long ago and ninety voters out
of every hundred have thrown them
away. many voters not taking the
trouble to look at them. Now comes
a call tor the newspapers to tell
the people what they are to vote on
and make explanation of the differ
ent measures; but on this subject
the newspapers are apparently deaf,
dumb and blind. Why not issue an
other pamphlet or consult Curtiss?

SETS RECORD FOR WORK
Expenses at Indian Head In
creased But Little, Says
Admiral Twining.

More work was performed at the naval
proving ground at Indian Head, Md.
during the past fiscal year than in any
similar period since the site was acquired
Rear Admiral Twining chief of the naval
bureau of ordnance says that the addi-
tional work was accomplished without
any increase in the force of officers or
employees and without materially in
creased expenditures. owing. he says. to
improvements in equipment and methods
The proof work included the proving OF
ODD guns. the test of eighty-four armor
plates. the test of 20s lots of projectiIes
and 12j powder tests. experiments were
made in the use OF obsolete brown
powder for fertilizing purposes. Admiral
Twining says the material has been
found suitable for the purpose, and that
small quantities have been issued to other
naval stations for fertilizing purposes
The output of the plant for the past
year was about 1,J00.oO9 pounds of new
powder and about $4,000 of reworked
powder The production cost has been
reduced about 10 per cent in each case.
owing partly. says Admiral Twining TO
the increased output and partly to i'm
provements in machinery and methods.
''The location of the marine rifle range
at Winthrop, Nd, says the ordnance
chief. continues to be a source of trouble
and delay in the work of the proving
ground. In spite of precautions that
are taken TO insure the safety of the ma
rines and others resident at Winthrop.
the possibility of accident always exists:
Furthermore, the requirements Of the
service at Winthrop frequently make il
necessary to suspend or curtail necessary
work at the naval proving ground. The
bureau is of the opinion that the rife
range should be removed to some other
site, where it will not interfere with the
conduct OF important public work.

Gaynor's Commission Seeks Curb on
Waste in Market Products.

NEW YORK, December 13.-As a step
toward the solution of the problem of the
high cost of living Mayor Gaynor's mar
ket commission hopes to find some way
of providing better terminal facilities for
handling perishable produce.
1t is estimated that under the present
docking system there is an annual waste
of $500, 100000. This is demonstrated by
the report of concentrations made by Or
der of the New York board of health.
showing that last year S,5OO,OOO pounds of
fruits were destroyed; 25OO,O 600 pounds of
vegetables; 1900 pounds of eggs: 100000
pounds of fish and $1,000 pounds of mis-
cellaneOus market products. The con-
formations made by the 100 inspectors of
the health department reports but a small
fraction of the real waste in the markets
of the city.
The waste in handling eggs is estimat-
ed at 10 per cent, or $50,OOO,O0O q year,
and the loss in poultry is more than

The efficiency Of the army and navy is
lowered more by social diseases than by
any other cause. Thousands of young
women are yearly being sacrificed for
commercialized vice.
+ Within the last quarter century science
had made new discoveries relative to the
social diseases. They have been found to
be germ diseases. infectious diseases
against which there is no natural i'm
munity.
z There is no more forcible way of begin
ming an educational campaign against
these diseases than to make them re-
portable. AS soon as they are legally
recognized they become the subject OF
statistics. are talked about. written about,
read about and preached about. This has
been the history Of making tuberculosis
a reportable disease. Many physicians
for years objected. some rebelled. pa

enlightened, and the fight against the
white plague has grown to immense
proportions. So 1t should be with the So
