CARROLL GOES
DOWN IN DEFEAT
Denison High School Wins From Car.
roll Last Saturday by Score
of 1923 to 0.
FAIRLY GOOD CROWD ATTENDS
PreIiminaries Between Denison Second
Team and Vail Ends in Dis
pute-The Lineup.

The Denison high school football
eleven met the Carroll team on tn,
Denison gridiron last Saturday after
noon and won their second game o
the season by score of 1923 to 0.
The game was called at $3.50 and {
fairly good crowd was in attendance
to cheer the local boys to victory.
A curtain raiser was played between
the second team and an a team from
Vail, but this game was not finished
on account Of dispute.
The Denison eleven were in fine
form and played snappy game OF
ball from the very start. Denison won
the toss and chose the uphill goal,
Boslough receiving the kickoff in good
style and advanced the ball twenty
yards. After few minutes of Skin
mish Collins broke through the line
for the first touchdown and at the end
of the first quarter the Denison boys
had made four touchdowns. This quar-
ter was full of end runs and line
plunges which were successfully
pulled off by the Denison strong play
ers, O'Connor, Kuehnle and Collins.
Collins started IN the second quar-
ter with his ability to throw passes,
which were received by O'Connor, who
successfully carried the pigskin over
the Carroll goal time after time. At
the end of the first ha the score was
81 to 0, in Denison's favor
At the beginning of the second half
Denison kicked off to Carroll, but the
Carroll boys were unable to break
through Denison's strong line and the
ball fell 10 Denison. 1t was during this
quarter that the Denison boys made a
record of five touchdowns in nine min
utes of play, ending that quarter with
a score of 101 to 0.
The last quarter was mostly played
by the Denison substitutes who were
given a good work out at the different
positions. Norman succeeded in plac-
ing the pigskin behind the Carroll
goal during this quarter and showed
that he has no small ability. At the
end of the game the score stood 1923
to 0.
The Carroll boys were outclassed at
every stage of the game and at no
time was Denison's goal line in dan
ger of being crossed.
The lineup of the two teams was as
follows:

Here Is Jordan S Record in Southern LEAGUE

met the fielding competition of the
Dixie league, facing eN big Ieaguers
and corners, with an average better
than second place.
THERE are a thousand interest
ing facts connected with the
record Of otto Jordan. Among them
are:
That Otto has played in 1887
games in eight years, or an average
of 1870 games a season. Only once
has he failed to play as many as
124 games a season. One season he
did not miss game.
In the eight seasons Otto has
made $50 hits, III stolen bases and
has batted from POS to .272.
In eight years of service Jordan
has had 6,199 chances. And out of
all those chances he made but 1872
errors, an average of less than "a
a season.
Jordans grand fielding average
for the eight years is .971. a mark
probably not surpassed by a score
of second basemen in all basebalPs
history-certainly not by men who

does.

different seasons Jordan made the

T UTHER MCARTY. the Mis-
sissippi Adonis," who fights
AL Palzer for the white heavy
weight championship at Los An
geles on New Years day, is being
touted on the coast as one of the
most remarkable athletes OF the
times.
Wonderfully built both for speed
and strength, the fighter is SEEM
ingly adding rapid development Of
headwork that should give him a
look-in with any Of the big fighters
in the game today.
In his early exhibitions McCarty
showed that he is game. can hit
hard and has some speed, but he
has a plentiful lack of experience
that was distressing to his admir-
ers. Since he went to the coast
he has, however, shown great i'm
provement and had little trouble in
stopping the veteran, Jim Flynn.
Now, hooked up with AL Palzer
the Iowa bearcat. he will get the
test that will show whether he IS
to continue fighting or must beat it
back to the life of a cowboy at S35
per month.
McCarty has had a varied career.
He has been a district messenger
boy. cowboy, farm hand, lumber
pack, deep sea sailor, bill "sticker,"
roustabout, and many and various
other things. Of all the fighters
now in the ring he has had the most
picturesque career.
Luther first saw the light Of day
March II. 1892. on a ranch owned
and operated by his father, 80 miles
outside of Lincoln, Nebr. Luther
was always outdoors and most of
the time astride a horse.
His mother died when he was
less than two years of age, but it
was not until his father sold the
ranch, in 1901, that Luther struck
out for himself, making his first
stop at the home of a relative in
Colorado Springs, Colo. Here he
stayed for nearly two years. at
tending school, much against his
wishes, as he longed for the open
air life. He had no liking for the
class room, and to avoid it took
French leave in the night and
started on lifes journey alone-and

" Southern league last season
had played in it continuous
IN since its organization in 1901.
The eleven seasons that have passed
since the opening Of the Southern
league have seen every player of
the 1901 season swept from the
field
In the league last year was. 1t
is true, one man. who had been with
1T from the start And this man
was Carleton Molesworth. who led
the Barons to the pennant. But
Motley, after eleven consecutive
years Of play. dropped out as a
player last year. with him went
that other veteran. Doc" Wiseman.

league from its organization until
the 1912 season had put eleven
years of consecutive service to his
credit

Of playing service?
1t is a two to one bet that not
one fan in a hundred could answer
correctly.
The answer is: Adolph Otto Jor-
dan, our esteemed fellow citizen,
erstwhile manager and player of
the Atlanta team, who will next
year begin his ninth consecutive
season as a Southern league play
err
Three men played in the league
last year who saw service the year
before Jordan started They are
Stanley, Robe and Swami. But no
one Of these men has played con-
tinuously IN the Southern. And as
Frank is planning TO get rid of
Stanley and Swami, they will not
be on hand to contest honors next
year with the famous Plying
Dutchman."
CONSIDER. now. the amazing
y case Of Jordan This man came

manager of the club He has served
four stormy terms as mogul, he
has been field captain every year.
And yet. despite his worries and re-
possibilities. otto has managed
to:
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-12-31

stole 10 bases a season-his worst
mark. Twice he has stolen q
bases, his best mark.
THE amazing thing about Jor-
dan is that, despite his long
service (and he played three years
before he Joined the Crackers, he
is still growing strong.
Last year was his worst in bat
ting and fielding But his friends
believe, and with good reason. that
his bad showing was due rather to
the friction that attended his dis
missal by Charley Hemphill and his
exile from Atlanta than it was to
any slowing up due to advanced
age.

low the average height and rather
above the average weight. His
weight iswell distributed and stout

But Jordan's success comes
mainly because of his temperate
