TENN. Nov. Il

II CHATTANOOGA, TENN, Nov. IA.
II The Southern League is the
fastest minor organization in
II organized baseball, or in outlaw ball
either for that matter, according to
kKid Elberfeld. And it might be men
toned incidentally the Tabasco one
IS unusually qualified to pass judg-
h ment upon such a question.
& The Kid dropped into town the
other day from his abode north Of
4 the Tennessee River, and naturally
irifted into baseball during his con
yersation. 1t was while discussing
the chances of certain major leagues
n this circuit that Elberfeld deliv-
cred his opinion in regard to the
speed of Father Kavanaugh's orgaui-
zation.
Take it from me" said the Kid,
the Southern is the fastest league
Of all the minors. On transforming
trips and at various other times
have played in the International, the
American Association, and all the rest
of them, and the Southern is the fast
est by far.
When training in the South with
the Yankees and the Senators / was
often greatly amused by the alibis
put up by our fellows to explain
their defeats at the hands of the
southern League clubs. They inva-
rably attributed it to the fact that
the Dixie athletes were in better con-
dition, but they never stopped to con-
slider that they had been in training
even longer and in still warmer eli
mate.
The Southern is the hardest league
on hitters by far, as the old hurlers
from the majors find their pristine
strength returned under the hot sun
1t is a great league for old pitchers,
but hard on the veteran catChers and
tho batsmen. The excessive heat is
against the swatters.'
Elberfeld had nothing to say for
publication concerning his signing
with New Orleans or the prospects at
Pelicanville in 1914 He was very
willing to talk about baseball affairs
in the circuit in general, but not in
particular. The Kid is in good con-
dition, however, and expects a good
season next year He states that he

Famous Yellow Jacket Coach Has Some Interesting Yarns
HEISMAN TELLS OF FUNNY THINGS IN FOOTBALL

The matter seemed to be one Of n
!. Importance one way or another IN
the rugby game until one year Jack
Outland, for the Penn SylVania team,
showed a wondering world just what
could be done in The way of kicking
ball lying rrone on the ground. He
and a member OF the opposing team
were about neck and neck in pursuit
of rolling ball, nd Jack saw that
if he dove for It at that breakneck
speed the chance of his making good
on the difficult feat Of securing it was
mighty slim Jack had the advantage
in that the bah was rolling towSrd
the other fellows goal and they were
running toward that goal after it.
AS they rapidly bore down on the
poor. harmless thing Outland got h s
inspiration. The other chap Stacked
little 20 steady himself for the dive,
but not Outland; he raced on into the
ball as fast as a streak, and by so
doing got TO it just one step ahead Of
the other fellow That one step was
sufficient 10 give him time to put his
truSty right into It's ribs, and down
the field It sailed toward the oppo-
nents' goal
Meanwhile another opponent over
took him and now they started out
after the ball afresh. Again Outland
got there just in time to give It an
other kick and seId IT across the OPP
pOsition goal line. where Outland fol
lowed after and fell on il before MS
opponent could recover his wits II
was declared a touchdown, for IN
those days any man behind the bali,
including the kicker himself, was on
side, and as Jack had been behind g.
all the way down the field there W ~
no disputing the fact that he was on
SIDE and as eligible to make touch
down Of the kick as anybody could
be-
For the rest OF that season the
Pennsylvania team practiced the play
ID with much success but the next
season the rules committee cut It out
by this special legislation. Their idea
was that to -rmi' prOmiscuous kick
ing OF ;his sort was dangerous and
would result IN many q man getting
kicked IN the head or face as he was
diving for the loose ball.

stood about % to 6 in Georgias IA
voT, and no one on that occasion
thought of having the score revert
to 90.
The only good purpose the present
rule serves-for | have never heard
Of a referee doing what this rule says
he shall-is that it calls attention to
this matter of darkness; and since
that day all teams are more careful
to begin the game at such an hour
as shall insure its completion,
Time may be called by the captain
Of either team, and the referee must
halt the game and allow the request
without infiicting any penalties if
that side has not yet taken out time
three times during that half, or if they
put in SubSutute-even though they
have already called time" on three
different occasions during that half.
And Rule XVI, Section /, goes on TO
say that Time shall begin again
when the ball is actually put in play"
Now, most Of the running time Of a
game of football Is not taken UP by
the men in actual action. but in lin
ing up between scTimmages, and in
getting ready after the ball is down
and dead to get another scrlmmage
started.
Bearing this fact in mind the Mich
igan team takes advantage Of the rule
in the following way: When they are
close to the other teams goal. and
know that time for the half is nearly
up, they promptly call Time out" the
instant the ball is dead after one
scrimmage The head linesmau has
no choice but to nudge the stop
watch. The Michigan puts in a sub,
takes her time at lining up, gets
everybody set and ready, snaps the
ball and dives in for another attempt
at their opponents goal
But time only l.arted running
again when the ball had been actu-
ally snapped for the next succeeding
down. Thus they economical all tn
time that is usually wasted in getting
up off the ball and lining up for the
next play. In this way team could
pull Off four or five or moro short
plungtng plays inside Of 90 seconds
or less. Tho plan is ingenious and
perfectly legitimate.
= ULE XXI, section g. says that
IN "a loose ball on the ground In
possession Of neither side NAV NOT he

This rule came into existence about
dozen years ago. Prior to that

q ECT1ON . of Rule " says:
y Whenever the commencement
of a game is so late that in the
opinion Of the referee there is any
likelihood of the game being inter
fered with by darkness, he shall, be-
fore play begins, arbitrarily shorten
the four periods to such length as
shall insure four equil periods being
completed"
This rule was adopted after the fall
Of 1893, and as the result of an en-
barrassing situation that arose in the
Thanksgiving Day game in Atlanta
between Auburn and Georgia. The
game started late and ran into dark
ness. Auburn was ahead and had
asked something like five minutes be-
fore the time would expire that the
game be called, but the referee re
fused to call 1t. Within one minute
of the expiration of the time how
ever, he did call It, and set the score
to 90, on the ground of the game
not having been completed when the
score at that time really stood 11-6
in favor Of Auburn, which team had
possession of the ball on Georgia's
five yard line
This ruling raised a perfect storm
Of protest and the Red and Black
freely conceded the game to Auburn
in spite of the referees ruling The
whole matter came to the attention Of
the Rules Committee, and it was for
the first time recognized that there
should be something in the rules re
garding this matter of darkness in
terfering with the conclusion Of a
game. The rule above cited was the
result.
THIS, however, is a very lame and
insufficient arrangement in the
case Of late beginning to a game;
for what referee or person on earth
could possibly foresee just how much
time will be taken out by the two
teams in a game. how many players
will become injured. and how often2
And If he cannot foresee these
things. how can he possibly tell.
to be shortened. and HOW MUCH TO
shorten it in order TO Insure the COM
pletion of four EQUAL periods?'
In my opinion Il would be much
better to leave the whole thing 10 the
discretion Of the referee, and let him
arbitrarily shorten the remaining
time when he sees that ii is getting
too dark to play longer with accura-
cy. He could give both teams warn
ing that, on account of the darkness.

minutes of play at the conclusion Of
