TECH MEETS DEFEAT IN
HOT GAME WITH AUBURN

The Auburn basket ball five defeated
the Tech team in a fast game last night
at the Crystal Palace, 36 to 81.
The game was much faster than the
one last Friday night and free from
roughness. The first half was close
and the score swayed back and forth.
but in the last half the Jackets were
outplayed by the visitors
Auburn's superior training and team
work told the tale. The passing Of the
Alabama boys was fast and accurate
The shooting of both fives was little
off, but Auburn again had the edge
here. The feeding of the Auburn guards
also helped to run up the Alabama
score. The condition of Donahue's lads
was telling In the last half. Auburn

Atlanta Club Leads All In
Number Of It's Graduates Now
Playing in the Major Leagues

Delehanty being with Detroit,
Becker with John McGraw's cham
pionship combination at New York,
and the champion Boston Red Sox
had playing in it's outf1eld the for
mer idol Of Little Rock, and inoi-
dentally he stands the same way
with the fans in the city of culture,
as iris Speaker is probably the
most popular member of Jake
Stahl's team.
In glanoing over the two leagues,
one can find but one representative
of Shreveport, and that in the per
son of the hustling little third base
man Of the Pittsburg Pirates, Bob
by Byrne.
Incidentally the Shreveport club
had on it's roster player who Gre
ated a sensation in the American
league last year. In 1908 Shreve-
port had playing first base for them
a player named Chic Arnold. The
following season he joined the Sac
ramento club on the coast, only his
name was changed to Chic Gandil.
Comiskey secured him for his Chi
cago club, but after a season Of
Indifferent success he was sent to
the Montreal club and improved SO
much that Clark Griffith brought
him down to Washington and it
made Griff's team for him, as Gan
dill was just what he had needed,
and at the present time Gandil is
considered one of the best first
basemen in the American or Ma
tional leagues. On the same team
with Arnold or Gandil at Shreve-
port was Zach Wheat. and they
both hit about the same, Gandil
,269 and Wheat .26S, in about 100
games.
X-Leaguer seems to have over
looked Kent and Kirkpatrick, for
mer Southern leaguers, but other
wise the list seems complete.

OF his fine batting qualities.
TT seems probable that Bernhard
intends to stand pat on his

been sent to Ferguson, Klssinger
Parsons, Newton and Merritt, the
Ave men who handled the slabbing
guns last season. Incidentally, only
two OF tho aforesaid--Parsons and
Merritt-won more games than they
lost last season. Neither of the
others came close to the 500 level.
The new pitchers are Waymack,

with Paducah OF the "Kitty"
league; Freeman, last year with St
Joseph Of the Western league;
Green, hast year with Roanoke of

MANY CHANGES IN
GOLF BALL
STYLES
By Chick Evans,
western Amateur Golf Cham

pion.)
T n the year 1915 the Edinburgh
Burgess Golfing society receiv-
ed from the Corporation of
Edinburgh a silver golf club. To this
club each captain on retiring from
ONCE affixed a silver golf ball. and
by 1894 the club was covered with
these balls. Then the Edinburgh
council presented the society with
another club. Now, since the cap
tain's term of office has been short
ened the attached balls are rapidly
increasing
Custom requires that the captain
select the most popular ball of his
time for representation on the sill
yer club. Therefore these little
spheres form an interesting con-
crete history Of the golf ball for
the last ITO years. Up to 1855 there
are representations OF the feather
variety.
Newer Styles Appeal.
Keith Maitland in 1855 attached
the first example of the hand ham
mered gutta ball and in 1857 WI
liam Mann added a silver facsiu-
lie of the grooved gutta. Captain
Purvis furnished the last example
Of the gutta in 1900.
The first patterns Of a rubber
core, the Haskell, was attached by
Captain Chesser In 1908, and Cap
tain Andrews provided a pimple-
surface Kite" in 1908. 1t is well
worth the journey to Barnton to
sec how far the makers Of golf
balls have travelled.
Although the first silver club was
given to the society in 1915, the
balls attached to it date back TO
1875. It has been suggested IN ex-
planation that all the captains liv-
ing at the time the club was re-
ceived attached balls to it; or there
had been another club to which
other balls had been attached.
Oldest Club in Scotland.
The Edinburgh Burgess Golfing
society is said to be the Oldest club
in Scotland. and 1t is only second
in age to the Royal Blsckheath club
of England. Although the earliest
minute book does not go farther
back than 1878, 1875 is really
claimed as the date of the clubs be-
ginning
When I was at St. Andrews I
saw silver clubs with balls attach
ed, but I did not notice the earliest
dates. The Burgess society is for
tunate in covering the whole pc

BOXING CLUBS IN
FRANCE DESIRE
BIC BOUTS
By Ed. w. Smith.
\ ARTS really Is serious In going

nARIS really is serious In going
ahead with the proposed
match there in June between
Jack johnson and Al Palzer The
battle is set for the night of the
running OF the Grand Prix, the
great French turf event.
Johnson believes he will be all
clear OF his troubles IN Chicago long
before then and hopes to be on his
way to Paris in plenty Of time to
Mt himself we'll for the battle,
On this eide OF the Atlantic the
match would not be seriously con-
sidered because of the defeat Of
PalBer by Luther McCarty In Los
Angeles In December. but the Par
isians do not know so much about
that They remember Palzer only
as the man who knocked cut BON
barber Wells in crushing style in
New York last June, and that is
good enough as a recommendation.
Still ldoIlze Weila.
They know Wells TO be a great
fighter and the man who trimmed
him decisively is greater still in
their eyes. -a....s
This is the news contained in a
letter from AL Lippe. Billy Papke's
manager in Europe. Lippe hastens
to correct the idea that the fighters
can go 40 or so rounds over there.
The Paris police projects have is
sued an edict, it appears, against
longer bouts than twenty rounds.
and that is the distance Johnson
and Palzer will go II they meet.
No Money For Minor Fighters.
The bout is sure to draw hugely
over there. as the French people are
wild to get a peek at Johnson in
battle array.
There's absolutely no money
here now for any OF the minor
fighters and they might as we'll stay
at home" Lippe writes. only the
real stars are worth while, and,
believe me, these Parisians are able
TO discriminate. You can hand them
no lemons.
The Paplle Klaus fight March
should hang up new record for
attendance in Paris, as both men
have shown so well here that It is
regarded as a real championship
encounter. 1t is my belief that
Papke will beat Klaus without
much trouble II Bill stands the
siege of training, as think he will.
He showed better against Car
pentier than did Klaus. and that is
where l am getting my line on the
two men. 1t is my opinion that
Papke takes better care of him-
self. too, which Is quite an item.
Joe Jeannettes manager is cut
ting in and trying TO upset the
Johnson Palzer match, but his Oar
ky is generally regarded as a dead
one in Paris, and l doubt II he can
do much good here. They think
here that Sam Langford can knock
Jeanette out any time he pleases."

complete the revision OF the football
manua! begun last night at the Hotel

One OF the most important changes
thus far enacted provides for the elm

in the two major organiza-
tions last year the Atlanta club fur
nished the largest number, as seven
former Cracker players were in the
big show last season, and Incl
dentally there were quite a few
stars among the seven.
The New York Americans had
that stellar battery. Ford and
Sweeney. The Chicago Nationals
had plenty Of confidence when Jim
my Archer was behind the bat for
them, and with Charlie Smith pitch
ing to him it would be a familiar
looking battery to Atlanta fans.
Another Cracker will Join Evers'
Cubs the coming summer, as Bos-
ton has traded Al BridweIl to Chi
cago. Nap Rucker continues to win
games for Brooklyn, and Dode Pas
kert is one of the stars on Charlie
Dooin's Phillies.
New Orleans and Memphis were
right,on the heels of Atlanta in rep
resentation In major leagues, with
six each. Former Memphis players
were George Jackson and Walter
Dickson, at Boston; Jake Daubert,
at BROOKLYN: Guy linn, with the
New York Highlanders; RUDE Pc
tiers, twirling for Comiskey's White
Sox, and George Suggs, who had a
very successful year at Cincinnati
New Orleans had half of their SIX
graduates on one team, as Joe Jack
son, Butcher and Doc johnson were
all at one time on the Cleveland pay
roll.
Pratt Stars With ST. Louis.
The Boston Nationals had two
former Pelicans on their team in
Hess and Jay Kirke. Pittsburg
possessed the other Pei in Catch
er Mike Simon, Montgomery has
sent some mighty good ball players
to the big show, namely, RUDE Old
ring, to the Athletics, Neal Ball, who
Is now with the champion Red
Sox; Derrill Pratt. who was a SEN
HRtion with the st. Louis Ameri-
cans last season, which was his first
in that league. Montgomery Also
sent Stengel and Daley to Brook
lyn, and Stengel showed Hash of
form there last fall that will proba-
bly, result in his becoming one of
the regular outfielderS.
Birmingham was next In line be-
ing represented by four former den
liens of the Stag pile. Cincinnati
had Art Phelan and Almeida, while
Philadelphia claimed title to Tom
DoWney and the human corkscrew,
Slim Sallee. twirled exceptionally
good ball for Mrs. Helen Br1tton's
Cardinals. Chattanooga had the
same number Of players last year in
the big show as did Birmingham
Ba siSette, with the Clevelands. and
Steve Yerkes, with the Boston
champions, being in the American
league, while Hub Northern, with
Brooklyn, and Rube Benton, with
Cincinnati, were in the National
league. All three of Mobiles grad
yates were playing with National
league clubs-Zach Wheat, Frank
Allen and Otto Miller all being
members Of Bill Dahlen's Trolley
Dodgers.
There were fewer men playing ball
in the big leagues who had worn
Nashville uniforms than any Of the
present members OF the Southern
league. as only two former Nash
vile players were there last year,
though several new ones advanced
last fall. Red Smith performed
creditably at third for Brooklyn.
