 Dr. Longwell is a fine looking athletic specimen himself, in spite of the fact that dentistry is not as strenuous as foot ball, but he has never devoted all his time to molar manipulation, and has never lost touch with the athletic and sportive situation generally.

New Athletic Director Says He Will Welcome the Day On Which He Departs for the Magic City-Expects to Make
 Good Showing at the Baptist Institute
By ALLEN GRIFFIN JOHNSON

New York, June 26.-(Special. )-"Ooo!' It was an attractive voice, even in pain, and the pain must have been slight for an even more attractive little laugh fol- lowed immediately.
 Why, that didn't hurt you" declared deeper, masculine voice, and as silence followed. I presume the party of the lilt- ing laugh accepted the statement and be- lieved it.
 Two minutes afterward the door of the dentists office opened and one of the prettiest specimens of Manhattan poultry that ever blocked Broadway traffic, emerged, followed by Dr. J. B. Long, well, at present a popular West Eighty fifth street dental surgeon, and, soon to be director of athletics at Howard col lege, Birmingham.
 Sorry to have kept you waiting" he said, just step in and have a seat in the chair; l will make the examination at once.''
 If you don't mind, doctor, we will post pone that examination" I replied, alarmed, q can still chew charlotte russe and few cereals successfully. l came to talk to you about Birmingham and Howard college.
 "Oh,' he exclaimed, that's different and more interesting. Birmingham is soon to be home to me, and I must say shall welcome the day when I leave for the Magic City
 What! You, a native of this state, and a long time resident of this greatest of all cities, glad to me moving away" T will repeat it, if you don't believe it." he answered." besides, I know something about Birmingham, having been there twice before, and I can't see that I'm going to lose so much in the matter of cities"
 Are you going to make Howard S eleven a winner this Year?" I dared, having interviewed few politicians re- gently.
 GAME HAS CHANGED
 T don't know anything about the ma terial Howard will have next season." he said, but I am going down there to get everything possible out of the ma terial they give me, and I have few ideas up my sleeve which, I believe, will help me to do this. Football, today, you know, isn't the football of 10 years ago it is a much better game for the small CT colleges. The old stars of the days of the five-yard game might make good linemen today, if they were still in con dition, but it is the man of speed now who counts more than the man of weight of the old days.

 Memphis, June Special With the Barons fighting to advance to the first division and the Chicks fighting to evade the cellar, the two teams will resume the series tomorrow after a day of rest today.
 Incidentally, if the two teams re- sume playing tomorrow like they did Sunday, the prediction is that the Barons will continue to win.
 Cy Barger, after an absence on ac- count of a strained ligament in his leg sustained last week at Mobile, is scheduled to make his return in the box against the Barons tomorrow. Elmer Ponder is on tap to oppose the tribesmen.
 The manner in which the Barons hit little Dick Kerr, the premier Chick pitcher, Sunday, came as sort of surprise. Every member of the Baron team got one or more hits off Kerr. Caton was the only Baron who went hitless.
 The little Baron shortstop, though, is playing a good fielding game and appears to be of more assistance to the Barons at short than he was in the outfield.
 Manager Molesworth is satisfied with the team as it is now going and predicts that he will soon climb into first division seat.

Number of Runs Made
Red Sox Down in Table
When Ii Comes to Max
ing Tallies

A review Of the major league base
ball season. which ended with the plav-
ing Of the recent world series. discloses
a number Of rather unusual features.
The pennant races in both the Nationai
and American leagues were closer ard
better sustained than has been the case
for some years. In the American
League every club, with the exception
of st. Louis and Philadelphia, led the
league at week-ends one or more times
while the same honor fell TO but three
clubs in the National. first place oeing
held in every case by either Brooklyn
Philadelphia or Boston.
From figures compiled from the ON
cial box scores IL Is shown that BROOK
ivn, the pennant winner, was second IN
the total number OF runs scored IN tne
senior league, with New York hrst and
philadelphia third. Brooklyn collected
the greatest number Of hits during the
season. with Cincinnati second and New
York third. Brooklyn made the least
Of errors. with Cincinnati sec
ond in this respect and Philadelphia
third. Brooklyn had more players IeIt
on bases than any other CLUB IN the
National League, with Pittsburgh sec
ond and Cincinnati third. Brooklyn
also had fewer runs scored BY oppo-
nents than any other club, while Bos-
ton was second and Philadelphia third.
In the American League the Dennant
winning Boston club scored less runs
thar ali but two Of its rivals, the ex-
ceptione being Philadelphia and wash
ington. The Red Sox also collected
less hits than any Of the other CLUBS
except the Athletics. On the other
hand. Carrigan's players made feWer
= -rors ,ban any Of the other seven
cinbs. while the Philadelphia combina-
lion made the most st. Louis had the
least number left on bases. while De-
troit holes the record for stranded
players in the junior league. Boston
ALSO held her opponents in check bet
ter than the remainder Of the terms for
