RUBE'S RECORD IS
 STILL UNBROKEN

smoky Joe" Wood. the much touted pitcher of the Boston Red Sox lost yes- terday to the Detroit Tigers by score of to 1, and thereby failed in his attempt to break the worlds record for straight victories that was set by Rube Marquard early this spring Woods defeat came in lis seventeenth game, he not having lost a contest since July 1. His record of 16 straight wins equals that of Walter John son of the Washington Nationals, who also failed on his seventeenth game when he threatened the great Rube's record some weeks ago. Covington, recruit of the Tigers, gets the credit of stopping the great Boston hurler in his sensational try for the record.
 1t now appears that Rube Marquard' g record of 19 straight victories made dur ing the early spring will last for some time to come. Twice has 1t been threat ened this season. each time by a great pitcher, but neither contestant could pass the sixteen win mark.
 With a great team behind him, and with a long string of victories to his credit, the Boston slabman had the chance of a the strain was too much for the speed artist In yesterdays contest the ner- vous tension under which he was working was clearly evident, and he was wild and unsteady throughout the contest.

WOODS EFFORT ID GAIN ON JOHNSON RESULTS IN FROST Boston Twirler Fails to Win Seventeenth Straight
 Victory
STANDING

Detroit. September 20.-Joe Wood Of Boston. invneible since early in July, at tempted today to win his seventeenth straight victory at the expense of De- troit and failed. In a grueling, bitterly fought contest, the locals triamphed to 1. Woods record Of 16 consecutive vic tories tied the league mark, established this season by Walter Johnson of Wash ington.
 Tex" Covington, who spent part of this season pitching for minor league clubs, was officially credited with the victory. The score was to 1 in Detroits favor in the fifth inning, when Covington was put out of the game after an argument with Umpire O Loughlin over a ball pitched to Krug. Lake succeeded him. and was hit hard, Boston immediately forging ahead. Lakes single started rally in inc Detroit half and Crawfords single to center produced two tallies, enough to give Detroit the advantage the rest of the way. Lake held the new league cham pions hitless after the fifth.
 Wood apepared to be pitching under a severe strain. In the third he walked Gov ngton, Bush, Corydon and Crawford in rapid succession. Then Krug dropped Cobbs pop fly, which gave Detroit a total of three runs. Covington and Wood con tinually objected to the decisions of the Ilnpires Score.

How was 1t possible for the Blrming ham Barons to win the 1912 pennant oi the Southern league?'
 This question has been propounded on several occasions since the conclusion of the season, and has always been preced- ed or followed by the solemn statement that never before has there been such d woefully weak championship aggrega- tion.
 The question in reference to Birming- nam is not at all pertinent in view of the fact that the Barons composed very strong and q very capable organization But If solution of problem of real merit is desired the energetic young men might solve this:
 sHow happened it that Montgomery failed to win the pennant, or, at any rate, to finish very high?
 Billikens Well Managed
 It is a well known fact that the Billi- kens of 1912 were capable. They had the lielders and the hitters. They were able to steal bases and to play inside base ball
 There are few managers about the cir- cult who are more careful or more astute than ]. Dobbs. He is popular with all people and especially with his players. He is untiring in his efforts. He is faith ful in his service. He knows ball player when he sees one, and has very attrac- tive connection with the St. Louis Browns.
 Despite these facts, Montgomery won only e5 games. lost 76. and finished sixth in the column with a percentage of .461.
 Team of Prowess
 The Billilxens were renowned for their ability to clout the ball. Their team, as matter of fact. was second in hitting. Atlanta led with an average of .257, Mont gomery followed with .256, and Birming- ham was third with .25l.
 Montgomery was second in fielding. The teams finished as follows: Nashville 965, Montgomery .962, Mobile .96l, Memphis .95s, Birmingham .957
 In extra base hits, Montgomery was or top. It's total bases numbered 1473 Att

ON THE TURF

l Detroit, September 20.-Ramey Macy sprung Q big surprise at the State Fair grounds this afternoon when he drove i, The Wanderer to victory in the Michi- gan sl0.0O0 stake. Dorseh Medium, Geers' entry, of whom much was expected, failed to finish inside the money. Tie wanderer took kindly to the heavy go- ing and after finishing last in the first heat took the next three In impressive style. The third and final heat of the Horseman F'uturlty for 3-year-old paeers, carried over from Wednesday, was a farce Impetuous Palmer broke right after the start, ran most of the way around and was distanced by a sixteenth of mile by Anna Axme, the only other starter.
 The 2:fe pace showed the worst act ing bunch of starters seen on the big circuit this year. Repeated scoring de- layed the start of the second heat 45 minutes Major O'Dell took the first two heats without much trouble and then Bessie Bee took three straight,
 Murphy's beautiful drive behind Dave Halle landed that horse in front in the first heat of the Michigan stake, but he could not repeat. The second heat was a stirring one. Rounding into the stretch the field was close punched. They came to the wire five abreast. The Wanderer showing a neck in front aft CT a whipping drive. Macy kept his geldlng well back in the next two heats but each time oyerhauled the leaders in the stretch and won.
 Don Pronto led all the way in both heats of the 2:06 pace, close pressed by Longworth B.

IDLE BASEBALL GOSSIP

Reports from st. Louis would in- deate that Scatter" sallee. the former elongated twlrler of the Baron slab corps, has at last come into his own in the National league. Strapped tight ly to the water wagon and otherwise confinng himself to the straight and narrow path, the erstwhile eccentric slabman has had one of the most suc- cessful seasons of his career this year That Sallee is a pitcher of much abil- ity Is unquesttoned. but his well known afllction of 'Raymond-itis' has handicapped his efforts consider ably. It seems now, however, that he has determined to forego the pleasures of the flrewater and the white lights, and should ho stick 10 his new resolu- ton he will undoubtedly prove val uable member of Roger Bresnahans staff of fingers next season.
 According 10 the New York papers, McGraw Is soon to give Demon Al" Demaree chance in the big show. The Giants have now practically cinched the National league pennant and Me- Graw is anxious to get a line on the south's star slabman. The peppery manager Is somewhat shy in the hurl- ing department just at present and if Demaree makes q creditable showing he may be given trial in the cham plonship series.
 President Taft, known to the Ger mans as William the Fat, Is going to pull for the Red Sox in the cham pionship series. The President has not as yet given out any statement as to which club he thinks will cop the se- rles. but the probability Is that he agrees with Griffith and Mack that the Boston lads will win.

HOWARD TO PLAY
 HERE OCTOBER ,

Local football fans will have their first opportunity to see an s. l. A. A. team in action on October ,, when Howard college meets the gridiron warriors of Clemson on the local fair grounds Clemson. according to re- ports, has the makings of an excep- tionally strong football squad this sea- son, and as the Baptists are doped 10 have one of the strongest squads in their history, battle royal is expected.
 on October 12, the Mercer aggrega- ton from Macon, Ga, will journey to Birmingham to take on the Baptists here. This game also will be pulled off at the fair grounds. It will be remembered that Mercer threw scare into the University of Georgia camp last season in a to 3 game, and as the Georgia Baptists are scheduled to return a goodly number of their last years warriors 1t is safe to say that they will bring a lineup to Birming- ham that will put the local collegians to severe test.

 All Round Excellence
 In other departments, Montgomery held its own equally as well.
 Birmingham led in sacrifice hitting with a total of 19i, Montgomery was fourth with 172 Birmingham led in stolen bases with 26S. Montgomery was second with 193.
 In double plays Montgomery was on top with a total of 90. Birmingham fol- lowed with S6.
 In every department as a matter of fact, the Billikens performed well, as well. In accordance with cold figures, as ths Barons And yet Birmingham finished on top and Montgomery far down the ladder. Difference in Spirit
 The reason Is simple Birmingham had the proper spirit Montgomery lacked it.
 All of which tends to indicate that physical perfection, though of great i'm portance. is not the main artery in the body of pennant winner. The team which takes the rag must have a fighting spirit, and must have peace among it's component parts.
 Otherwise. bunch of Lajoies and Jack | sons and Cobbs would fail to win rag in this company. The stars would slam the ball, but would not make more runs | than their opponents in greater percen- tage of the games played The Expert Stumped The expert each season reviews the clubs of the league and often marvels at the result of his research. He finds an aggregation at the top of the heap which is no stronger man for man, than that which finished sixth. 1 Sometimes he can attribute the lowly i position of the one team to accidents But this is the exception to the general rule that the space separate two clubs | of comparatively equal strength Is due to spirit-fighting spirit and the spirit Of determination.
 Spirit of Barons During the season some scribe referred ] To the Barons as a bunch of college boys l Their department was in accordanca with the idea of the hilarious, enthusias- tic collegian They wanted to win They gloried in victory and feared defeat as ir | 1t were dlsgraceful. As q result they won the rag
