SOUTHERN ELEVENS ARE
AFFECTED BY THE WAR
Coaches Severe Tasks in Getting
Teams Together-Georgia
Not to Play

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. 17.-Coaches of
at least four teams that are expected to
bid for southern football honors this year
have begun practice for the season sched-
uled to start within a month. Possibly
never in the history of the game in the
South have coaches faced such ia SKIS. Tho
war has made heavy inroads into material
left over from last year and the instructors
must build machines around comparatively
few experienced players.
The Georgia Tech, Auburn and Sewanee
squads already are at work. OF the trio
Tech seemingly has the advantage in ex-
perienced men. Spence, last years full
back, will be in the game until called into
tho aviation service for which he is training
at Tech Then there are Strupper and
Guyon for regular backs with Phillips, Car
penter Fincher and Bell for the line
Sewanee has been hard hit by the war
Four letter men are expected back, Rucker
Wortham, Crudgington and Andrews. II is
not certain, however. that Rucker will re-
turn, and Andrews is recovering from ty-
phoid fever.
Six of last years Auburn squad are ex-
pected to be back in the game this year. but
it is reported that there is plenty of good
material with which to organize a for
midabe team.

HOlD the White SOr Fdred
Against A. L. Left-HanderS

Nominated for membership In tho Ananias
Club--the man who started the report that
the Chicago White Sox could not hit or win
against southpaw pitching, of which they
will have plenty to face in the coming world
SERIES The Rowlandites have run up Il
batting average of .260 against portsders
this season, and have landed twenty-siX out
of forty-one agnes in which left-handers op-
posed them, q percentage OF 500. since one
of these games was tie.
The Chicago Americans have had plenty
of work against southpaws this year, fork
handed fingers having been flung against
them in sixty-eight games The Pale Hose
have responded by making 169 runs and
S47 base hits in 1895 times at bat
Oscar Felsch leads his team In hitting,
with Joe Jackson close behind. Both have
been able to bat better than 800 against
south handlers "Hap's" average being 1856
and the generals .3s2. McMullin, Weaver's
understudy is close to tho 800 mark, and
Eddie Collins 25 points below it.
Weaver has hit .269 against the Salees
the Schupps and the Bentons of the Amer
lean League; Gandill. .267; John Collins,
232 Rsber, .22l, and Schalk, 1874
The one left-hander the Sox haven't
beaten (and won't be able to beaD this

Harry Harper each defeated the Chicago
nine once. Koob. Harper and Mitchell reg

The southpaw who needed help In down
ing the Pale Hose was Koob. The young
no-hit hero, when he beat them the first
time, did not travel the full distance. fall
ing by the wayside in the sixth. Sothoron
protected his lead. Love and Pennock In
their wins and Coumbe in one of his were
added starters. The New York and Cleve-
land gunners pitched ably as rescuers but
the work of the Bostonians was nothing
to brag about
Leonard and Ruth coIlaborated in a
flfteen-inning tie against the future cham
pions on July 21.
The south-handers whom the Sox beat
were Koob and Mogridge, four times;
Hamilton, Coumbe and Ruth. three times I;
Coveleslsie and Boehling, twice; Cullop,
Leonard, Harper, Love and Mitchell once.
Plank is the left-hander who kept the Sox
TO the lowest batting average this season,
their highest figure being obtained against
Weiman.

NLD JUPITER PLUVIUS is in bad with
" the minor league baseballers, for he has
knocked their ambitions slSyhlgh with an
overabundance OF moisture which has been in
evidence on three successive Saturdays, and
what was destined to be registered as the
most successful season in history, from n
weather standpoint at least, will probably
be recorded as the most disastrous
A perusal Of the records shows that those
leagues which inaugurataed tho season on
April II and rs played with the sun shining
but chill wind in evidence. The following
week May was rainy and then came a
wonderful streak of sunshine, not an inter-
ruption being recorded until the Saturday
preceding Labor Day. Three postponemcnts
in row has virtually put the kibosh on the
whole proceedings and incidentally created
no little dissatisfaction.
Runners-Up Are Sore
1t Is tho runners-up that have a crouch
over the present conditions, and one can
hardly blame them for that, as the title in
a half dozen organizations will be deter
mined BY n single game, and they deserve
credit for fighting to finish,
The season must come to a conclusion
some time, and a number of leagues have
decided to close the second half next Satur-
uay, as luey nave Yet 10 stage II series Dc-
tween tho first and second half winners for

The Delaware County League has already
set September 20 for the opening game be-

"WINN1NG or losing ball clubs are
w purely a matter of managers" re-
counts contemporary
Perhaps. Yet Just where does this
theory emerge with Connie Mack facing
Fielder Jones in the most desperate tall
end struggle ever known for a cellar cham
pionship. Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Mack haven't
quite changed that much, have they, since
they were emblazoned some few siestas
back as the greatest in the game?
NO the above theory doesn't quite hold
Not by so or So per cent. Is it to be un-
derstood, for an illustration, that Mr. Row.
Iand is far and away beyond Mack, Jones,
''Willard as a fighter has everything in

Not Unusual
Wizards case--that of standing so far
above the field that no competition looms
In Sights not a record-maBlng affair.
Jess won the championship in 1915. He
has found but one man to face since-the
same being Frank Moran
But after Jim Jeffries had cleaned up
Corbett and Fitz for double turn he ruled
the field, with no adversary around for
an even longer period. After the Munroe
smear the Californian was finally forced
to retire, as all business had reached an
end.
He fought Munroe in 1904. It was six
years later before he was dragged back to
make the last standard receive the first
Is. o. In his career. But Jeffries for three
or four years was as far above the rest
OF the heavyweight field as Willard is to-
day.
