DROPPING OF TEXAS
MEETS WITH FAVOR
Game Has Always Been Too
Great a Strain on
Tigers

Chattanooga, December 24-fspeciai)
The action of the Sewanee athletic au-
thorities in dropping the Texas game and
substituting instead a mele with Geor-
>gia voiced the general sentiment of the
Purple alumni and of her general sun
porters
The Texas game has always been played
merely because of the financial benefits,
amounting this year to about 500, but

Is generally felt that the loss of the
Tech game this year was largely the re-
suit of the long trip to Dallas and the
hard game which was played without any
advantage, aside from a monetary one,
to Cope's crew. In other words, the Jun
giemen had everything to lose and moth
ing to gain.

pick of the Little Rock club. But four
Players in the Southern league wound up
with better batting average than did
Meek that season.
The next year Meek was .peddled to
the Waco club of the Texas league and
found the pitching in that league as
easy to negotiate as any other he had
faced, and finished fifth in batting IN
that organization. He never had the
pitchers wasting many balls when he was
on first base, however, as he only pur-

The first season Meeks was in the North
western league he was used behind the
bat almost exclusively, and with one ex-
cepton had more assists than any
catcher in the league. Last year he
played first base and also caught. While
he was next to last in the first baseman's
fielding average, he led the catchers of

The report Furthermore states that
Moley's job in this city has been hang
ing by small thread for some time.
This was true three years ago but not
so now. In 1912, after winning the
southern championship, the chubby
Baron leader was unanimously retain ed
as pilot for 1913. At the conclusion of
the past season Moley was again ten
dered contract as manager and was
assured that he had the full backing
of the local organization. AS long as
Moley delivers the goods as he has been
doing during the. past two seasons then
local fans need not look for change
in managers or pay any attention to
such absurd rumors.

THE DOMESTIC KISS.

When a wife goes three years
without a kiss from her husband she
is entitled to sue for divorce. Taking
advantage of her privilege, a New
York woman who says that she has
been kissless-at least so far as hub
by is conserned-for this period of
time, has started suit.
A husband ought to kiss his wife
whether he likes to or not 1t is a
duty. If there isn't any other thrill
in sight the man can feel at least a
thrill of righteousness that he is full
filling well understood obligation
of matrimony
Kisses are like bank checks-they
don't mean much in themselves but
pass as currency for what is back OF
them. When a husband habitualls
and with malice afore though fails te
kiss his wife, it is safe to infer thai
the matrimonial treasury is bank

AN ARTISTSi IDEA.

An interesting story comes from
Boston. To prove that the people of
the twentieth century need not be
slaves to civilized convention, JOS
eph Knowles, Boston painter of
outdoor life, plans to plunge into the
wilderness of Northern Maine next
week, without clothing, food, mat
|ches, firearms or ammunition.
He promises to stay there until
October 1st, to subsist on fish, game,
berries and wild vegetables, and to
come out fully clothed. He will
live fifty or sixty miles away from
any settlement and will accept nc
help from the outside world.
Knowles will make his own fire By
| friction; will built log cabin from
material he finds in the wods, and
will make traps out of what he dis
covers in the practically unexploret
northern part of the Pine Tree state
| 1t will need a good deal of friction
to keep him warm when the fros
nips old Maine.

STEAM DRIVEN AERoPLANE.

To fly across the Atlantic ocean in
thirty-one hours in the largest and
heaviest ship of the air ever con-
structed is the aim of a young
French law student of Chicago.
This machine is planned to have
the widest pair of wings ever made,
constructed of aluminium steel. The
total weight of the monoplane will
be 5000 pounds, and the raising
capacity of the wings will be, theor-
etically, about 10000 pounds. suffi-
eient to lift a crew of six men, with
their provisions and fuel supply.
The motive power is to be provided
by two 150-horse power steam tur-
bines weighing $50 pounds each, the
fuel for which will be condensed
coke.
Each engine will control two eighl
foot propellers of the usual shape
one pair in front and the other be
