put all of the clubs on an equal foot
ing in regards to holiday dates.
Asserting that open betting ruins the
game by disgusting the majority of the
fans, Johnny Dobbs Of the Pelicans
has come cut with the statement that
crusade against gambling will be in
augurated at New Orleans this year.
The New Orleans leader states that
he has determined to put an end TO
opening gambling and that if neces-
sary detectives will be hired to ferret
out the offenders. The stand taken
by Dobbs will no doubt not only re-
ceive the commendation of the Cres-
cent City fandom but also other fans
in the Southern circuit For years it
has been noticeable that there was
probably more open betting in New Or
leans than in any orner city in Judge
Kavanaugh's league. and the putting
down of the lid will no doubt prove a
big benefit to the game in that city.
With all but two clubs-Mobile and
Montgomery-lined up In favor of the
long schedule, and with majority of
the schedule committee favoring such,
it. is almost certain that the schedule
c8lling for the 154 games will be the
one adopted for the 1914 season of the
Southern. AS vet nothing has been
heard from the Mobile and Montgom-
cry arrangements in regard to which
schedule they prefer However. 1t is
likely that the two Alabama clubs will
fall in line with the others, and that
the adoption of the long schedule will
be favorably received by all of the
clubs

in Other Departments of Game
by ASA RoUNTREE, JR.

Careful scrutiny on the part of South

tiona1 leagues combined. they succeed

league, the Barons got one Atlanta an
other, while the third goes to New Or
leans.
Jimmy Magee, who played last year
with Lowell in the New England league,
was the player whom Moley secured. Ma
gee scored 100 runs in 125 games, MAX
ing an average of 80 run per game. Ma
gee has had,a tryout in the majors, hav-
ing been carried south several years ago

The Crackers grabbed Flanagan from
Decatur in the Three l league. Flanna-
gan led his circuit in scoring, amassing
81 runs in 13l games. This gives him an
average of Y per game.
The player who will get chance with
the Pelicans during the spring. John
cochran. has higher average than
either Magee or Flanagan. Cochran
scored 81 runs in 1O5 games, or an aver
age of SO. He played last season with
Rome in the Appalachian. Magee scored
the most number of runs, piling up an
even 100 to "a amassed by Flanagan and
81 by Cochran.
Cochran received a tryout from the
Barons for two consecutive years-l9l2 and
1913-but each time he failed to deliver
the goods, so last spring Moley relegated
him without attaching any strings. Dur
ing 1913 he had a good season, ranking
second among the batsmen, with an aver
age of 1855, and Johnny Dobbs is counting
ON him making good next season.
Curiously, each of three leading run
getters secured by Southern league pilots
is an outfeider.
Although the Southern was lucky in Sc
curing leaders in the run getting depart
ment of the national pastime, they failed
TO have any success in securing leading
pitchers or batters. Birmingham pur-
chased Finneran. who lead the mounds
men last season in the New England
league. but he has signed with the Balti-
more Federals and is lost to the Barons.
None of the leading batters were roped
in, although several men who ranked
near the top will receive tryouts next
spring.
Magee. the leading run getter of the
New England league, ranked second in
batting, while Cochran was second
among the Appalachian sluggers and

bert Robinson of the Dodgers is high
ly pleased over the outlook for the
1914 campaign and confidently predicts
that his team will cause some of the

new leader of Ebbets' club is not

T. K. LEE AGAIN ESTABLISHES
A NEW WORLDS RIFLE RECORD
Athletic Club Shooter Breaks Record for 100 Shots Formerly
Field by Chesley-Makes Third Worlds Mark That He
Has Set This Year--Shooting Done Under
Supervision of the War Department

BY scoring his fifth consecutive "possi-
ble' yesterday afternoon, T. K. Lee of
the Birmingham Athletic club rifle team
established a new worlds record for 100
shots. this making the third record he
has broken this year. Lee now holds
the record for 60, so and 100 shots.
The record for 100 shoots was for
merly held by g. w. Chesley of the Win
chester Rifle and Gun club, and was
made during the 1911-19l2 season of the
inter-club rifle matches. Chesley's rec
ord was 1885, while Lees is 1000, or per-
feet. Never before in the history OF
the inter-club matches. which are held
under the supervision of the war de-
partmentfl. has such shooting been done.
and the attention of the rifle world is
now being focused on him.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-02-01

From some quarters there has emanated
the hint that Lees shooting has not been
done on the square. The accusations are
absurd as every shot he has fired in the
matches has been witnessed by officials
appointed by the war department, and
also in the presence of members of the
club rifle team. The targets are sent
out from Washington. marked with code
number, so there is no chance of substi
tutions being made.
Again and again Lee has convincingly
demonstrated to skeptical parties that
luck has not figured in his scores by
shooting 'possibles' in practice.
The club rifle team scored a total of
800 points in their match against Bridge
port yesterday afternoon. The scores of
the various members are as follows: Lee,
200 Cifth consecutive "possble'D; Wingo,
1899; Evans, 1893; Finn, 1877; Starnes 1856.
