Ham NOW CHEAPER

Ration Scarcity Of Hogs Some
what Alarming

The State.
General orders have been received
at the Department Of the Southeast
to substitute ham to the amount OF
one-twentieth of the volume OF meat
consumed. This action is advised by
the war department that ham is ten
cents a pound cheaper than bacon.
The use OF hams will be continued
until the prices of bacon and ham are
eoualized. Hogs, ths department says,
are unprecedentedly scarce. This
shortage, it is emphasized, perils the
army supply Of bacon.

SOUTH'S GOLF CHAMPS
STAR ONLY AT HOME

-g.
Whether or not there is something
in the air at Atlanta which makes
good golfers Is a question, but it is
certain when the young wizards Of the
Druid Hills club get away from their
home course, they straightaway lose
their cunning.
Golfers generally were surprised at
the defeat at Chicago, in the Western
Golf association tournament, of the
prize young golfers at Atlanta-Bobby
Jones, Perry Adair and Tom Prescott.
Playing on their home course, these
youngsters have had little trouble in
taking the best talent. Of the country
into camp. But in the north none Of
them seemed able to hold their own
with golfers Of less ability than those
they have beaten in the south.
The only Atlanta golfer, who con-
sistently won honors in the north is
the national woman champion, Alexa
Sterling.

SAFETY LIMIT
CAUSE OF HIGH
BIIIIARD RUNS

Recent records made by cue
artists a. three cushion billiards
are due chiefly to perfection in
billiard manufacture and the TIM
iting Of players to safety shot.
The safety shot limit, however,
even more than the perfected
table, is considered by experts to
be the cause for such high marks
as Is recently by Alfredo de Orc
in a practice game with Charles
Otis in New York.
De ORC Is practising for his
championship match with Bob
Cannefax at st. Louis next fall.
The high mark in championship
contests is 10, held by De Orc and
William Huey.
Others who equalled De Orc at
running 18 at three cushion are
Charley NORM and Jess Lean of
Chicago, and Pierre Maupome of
Mexico City.
This high mark Of 10 even may
be surpassed soon, SO fast are the
three cushion experts travelling.

early in the season. The wiley Wash
ington manager had Bagby spotted
early in the season as a wonder, and
his judgment was based on one fact
which evidently escaped most Of the
talent. The fact that Bagby is one of
the men of the league who possesses
a cracking good slow ball.
To quote Griff, the trouble about
the pitching in this league this year
is that we r getting entirely too
much speed pitching. Anybody with a
good slow ball and a little judgment
and control should be able to get
away in good shape. That's what
makes Bagby look good to me. Bagby

the fact that a dark horse, one Jim

Bagby is one of the fellows whom
no one would have picked at the start
