If Secretary Jacobson viii supple
ment this excellent record sheet with
more equitable method of de-
terminiug which pitchers should have
credit for winning a game and which
should not. he will have done the
players and the fans of the South a
lasting favor.
NORMAN ELBEFELD will bear
~ watching this year. The way he
has whirled right in at the beginning
Of the season and strengthened what
hit with the fans.
1t viii be regretted if otto Jordan
is allowed to drop out Of the league
but Elberfeld has been in a better
position than anybody else to know
whether or not Jordan is slowing up
and naturally was not likely to make
any bad mistakes.
If Jordan goes out of the league il
will leave Clayton Perry and Jud
Daley the Oldest men in point of
continuous service.
Otto started his ninth consecutive
year yesterday. He made his debut
here in 1906 as manager Of the At
lanta club.
Jordan's record is one seldom
equalled by any baseball player. In
al his Southern League career, when
included 1887 games, he made but
1872 errors, for a fielding average Of
97f. Four different years he led the
second basemen of the league. Three
times he ranked second. Only once
did he fall as low as fourth in fieid-
ing.
But of course a man slows up in
time Jordan is "a this year That
is not old but, I'm baseball, it is
aging" For all that Jordan has a
lot of good baseball vet and should
be able to hook on somewhere as a
manager.
Jud Daley and Clayton Perry sue
coed Jordan as the odd men" of the
league. Both have played in the
Southern for seven years in success
sion. Daley was out part of last
year while Perry has played practi-
cally continuously-ha 942 games TO
his credit. against $50 for Daley.

~ AIN at birmingham, wet BfOunus
* at Memphis and extremely cold,
wet weather at Chattanooga did
their best to make a fizzle of the
opening day doings in the Southern
League.
At Birmingham and Memphis the
games were off entirely and al Chat
tanooga, though the Crackers played
and beat the Lookouts, the crowd
was but 3.90O-hardly half of what
it would have been If the weather
had been good.
To-day they will make another stab
at an opening in Birmingham and
Memphis At the former burg they
are out to win the attendance cup
again, and If the weather is fairly
decent they will have a tremendous
crowd.
Early reports from Birmingham
were that the weather was some
what improved. but the field was
mighty slow this morning. as "A result
of the hard rain Of yesterday. The
Smoky City is trying to turn out
1900 people for The opener, but will
hardly do it.
From Memphis comes news that
the game there will surely be played.
The New Orleans Mobile game was
the only one in the South not grabbed
by poor weather. The Gulls and the
Pelicans got away to a good start.
The Pei,cans won in the ninth after
a slow. rather stupid battle.

good and the offense was overpower-

The locals have the sort of club this
year that gets away in one or two
innings strong enough to win ,he
game.
The locals are fools for hitting.
There has not been a Cracker bat
ting order in ten years that looked rs
dangerous.
Look at them-AgIer, a sweet hit-
ter and a marvel for getting on by the
pass route; Alperman, a .2S5 slugger
and demon for the hit-and-rua
play; Welchonce, the leagues best

second best batter last year: Tommy
Long. who hit d million in the exhi-
bition games; Smith, a husky batter,

The hitting of WelchOnce and era
ham was deadly.
The fielding of the whole Cracker
team was fine and it wasn't any easy
day to field, either, with wet ball
and a cold wind.
The great work Of the Crackers
kept the LoOkouts from scoring many
~ms-that is. it helped Weaver. who
pitched a coriling game. The Look
outs fielded well themselves and
started off the season with a triple
play.
Weaver in addition to pitching well,
laced out a double that drove in the
first Cracker run. It was over Ell
Stons head and clean as a whistle.
Welchonce made the hit Of the day

it was a matter of marking time to
