Sporting Chatter


George Burns, the doughty left
fielder of the Giants, is earning the
alteration of the New York fans these
days. George got an early start and
promises to keep up his 400 hit
ting.
When Stallings picked up outfield-
er Bailey he once more justified his
reputation as one of the shrewdest
of managers. Bailey has been de-
monstrating that he has good stuff in
him. He played with the Washing
ton and Lee team last year.
Rows and arrangements f9xeIy do
anybody any good but the Cubs are
delighted to think that Phil Douglas,
one of their mainstays on the mound
nowadays has broken off friendly re-
lations with Booze. The fans are no
less pleased and Phils work is show
ing remarkable improvement since
the break.
Never bet on player the first
time he shows up after having been
sent off the field by the umpire. You
can gamble on it, he's been reading,
How to behave and has forgotten
how to play.

PARK IMPROVEMENTS

Some afternoon next week the
mayor and the park board commits
sioners will make tour of the local
parks for the purpose of determining
on some important improvements.
Mayor Taylor said today that it. had
been practically decided to establish
a place where wheel beginners could
learn. It was generally understood
that it would comprise and asphalt
circle about $50 feet in diameter and
sufficiently secluded to permit In
struction from experienced riders. A
number of accidents have occurred
lately.
The idea of building cycle paths
was considered but it was decided
that it would not be practical.
The mayor also said that fast driv-
ing on the avenues and roads Of the
parks would be forbidden this year.

they are anxious for a squirt they
have the trotting courses set aside for
them.

ONE BORN EVERY MINUTE

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. / A man III
Monticello, Ga, has sent a dollar to
the Baptist Tabernacle of Atlanta
with the proviso that it shall not be
used until the United Staes flag is re-
moved from the pole on top OF the

made of patriotism in the pulpit.
The Tabernacle needs money badly
needs more than $4,000 to pay a
mortgage held by the administrators
OF the estate of the late Jim" Smith
millionaire Georgia cotton planter
but it doesn't need it bad enough
to accept a gift with such condi-
ton as this.
In response to the letters sent to
more than 10000 friends requesting
them to give the Tabernacle a dollar
apiece to pay off the mortgage, re
sponses are coming thick and fast

the festive possum with pack of
hounds that wag their tails to the
ownership OF Rev. Lincoln McCon-
nell himself a preacher of numerous
parts who invited the famous evange-
list to be his guest for the holiday.
Like many colleges, Billy takes a
day off on Monday instead of Satur-
day although the habits and practices
of Atlanta people would dove-taii bet
ter with Saturday holiday, inasmuch
as they spend that day in the practical
affairs of house cleaning and grocery
buying and hair cutting and golf play
ing, ct cetera.

on Monday, and by the same token
takes his postum hunting on Monday

bore considerable fruit in the shape OF
several fat possumS that will be cook

HUDSON TEAM SHOWS SPEED
 TO ALL CARS

No team of racing cars has ever as the Hudson, which has just ended a record making season on the speed way. A dearth of speedway events has compelled the team to withdraw for the balance of the year." says Cal Messner local Hudson distributor.
 The action was a disappointment to many motor enthusiasts, for the Hudson was foremost of the teams en- gagged on the speedway and in it's short but brilliant campaign decisively established it's title as champion of the American speedway.
 Tn one event American speedway records for 150 and 200 miles were established at an average of 1O4 miles an hour
 Track records were established at Chicago, Cincinnati and Omaha. The fastest sime ever recorded at Tacoma and Minneapolis was made by the Super-Six Special, and claims for track records will be considered by the American Automobile association.
 Here is the unmatched record Of the Hudson Super Six specials in this years nine championship races, held at Cincinnati, Chicago, Omaha, Tacoma4 Uniontown and Minneapolis.
 "Twenty-two entries were made. All save one finished within the money; an accident forced that one car out.
 Hudson specials won firsts in four events; second in six; third in two; fourth in three; fifth in three; and sixth, seventh and eighth in one each.
 Speedway racing has done much to develop the motor car, revealing weak nesses of construction and teaching engineers wherein certain faults can be corrected It was through building race cars that the foreign makers reached their high workmanship on motors Not until the Hudson Super Six went on the speedway this year has any car of purely American design succeeded in winning speed honors.
 "The Super-Six specials were modi- fications of the stock car. They were built to demonstrate the Hudson en- durance and, therefore. followed Hud son stock construction. The Hudson race teams only trouble was with tires. Because the cars adhered close ly to stock design they outweighed the special racing machines against which they were pitted by from 500 to 800 pounds. The handicap was not only weight handicap, however. The Hudson had power enough to pull the
