in the Southern league to reach the century mark in hits. By SCOT ing four hits in the game against Memphis on Wednesday Jacobson ran his total of hits for the season to the 103 mark. Paulette of Nash vile is second with 97. while Will Hams of Nashville, Edmondson of New Orleans and Harris of Chatta- nooga are tied for third place with 96.
 Old Man Gloom has marked the Yankee clan for destruction.
 And yet with the hand of fate reaching forth almost every day and plucking a Donovan star from the lineup, the Tanks manage to limp along ahead of the pack with crazy quilt lineup. Wednesday the Jinx Man sneaked into the Donovan cupboard and skipped away with Hugh High. who began subbing in the suburbs when Fritz Maisel was cut down.
 The day previous, Nick Cullop, the Tennessee phenom, who blazed through nine straight victories, collapsed on the battlefield while in the midst of she1ling the Indian tribe. If the Tanks do nothing else they will hang tip a record for misfortune that will never be passed.
 First it was Fritz Maisel, who was called aside with splintered shoulder, then Mogridge, who was particularly effective against the White Sox, was sent to the hos pital ward, soon to be followed by Ray Caldwell, who retired to nurse reopening of an injury re- ceived when knife with which he carved his initials on his bat. slipped and gouged a chunk of meat from his thumb. Lee Magee, stepped out to consult the medicine men, Frank Gilhooley shattered an ankle, and just when J., Franklin Baker was bursting forth into the full bloom of his slugging spree, two cracked ribs sent him to the infirmary for weeks.
 Still blithly went the jinx about his business of wrecking the Dono- van machine, by mailing Nick Gull lop, with some sort of nervous col lapse and tacking a wounded knee to Ray Caldwell soon after his re- turn to the lineup. Mogridge is back but with Gilhooley, Maisel and Baker gone. the Tanks are a tattered and well nigh forlorn band.
 No wonder William Donovan Is Wild.
 The Pels have got the pennant
 form,
 The Crackers have the class The Travellers are hitters who
 Are far beyond the mass. The Chicks have got the pitchers
 And the Barons have intrigue, The only thing the Vols can do
 Is lead the Southern league.
