FINcHER SOME GOAL KICKER.
The Georgia Tech Man Missed Only
Two in Fifty-one Chances.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. &-What a
complete combination the unde-
feated eleven of Georgia Tech was
can be seen from an analysis of the
individual performances OF its
members. Outstanding among these
is the goal kicking after touch
downs by Bill Fincher, one of the
Golden Tornado's star linemen.
During the last season Fincher
kicked forty-nine goals after touch
downs. missing only two during
the entire campaign. while last
year he missed only one out of
seventeen trials. In his two years
Of kicking goals after touchdowns,
he has registered 65 points for the
Yellow Jackets out of 6s attempts,
A close ofllower of the football
activities of the Tech team this
year, with a leaning toward statis-
tics, has prepared a table of COM
parative scores which showed that
the Southern eleven was on an
average close to 60 points better
that the other leading college COM
binations OF the East and Middle
West. By using the scores rolled
up against Pennsylvania, Washing
ton and Jefferson, Vanderbilt. Car
Isle Indians. Auburn and Wash
ington and Lee a line of compari-
son is secured which runs through
the play of the best teams of the
season in all sections except the
far West and the Southwest.

NAP MAY GO
BACK TOFARM
Lajoie Claims Majors Must
Show Him Satisfactory
Contract for 1918.

What Is Larry LaJoie going to
slip his brawny hands around next
spring, the plow handle or the
baseball bat?
It's going to be one or the other
and IL it's a baseball bat It will be
In q major league and will be un-
der terms which are satisfactory
to Napoleon Lajoie.
At least that's Lajole's present
ultimatum.
II have been in baseball too
many years to be unreasonable" !"
Larry told the writer. But base
ball, so far as the minor leagues
are concerned under present con-
conditions, doesn't appeal to me
strongly and my record of last
year at Montreal should put me in
position where can ask for a
pretty good contract. II I don't
get what I want-well, I guess the
old farms about good enough for
me!'
Lajoie was interviewed at his farm
near Cleveland. He wore a regula-
tion farm uniform. overalls, jump
er, heavy cap and rubber boots.
He had been out since early morn
ing-"just tinkering around" as he
expressed.
I've never been able to properly
enjoy my farm" he continued.
I'm ready to begin almost any
time. OF course IL 1 get the proper
kind of a contract I won't quit
baseball"
Lajoie said he had received one
or two offers the nature OF which
he was not at liberty to divulge.
He denied he had heard anything
from Harry Frazee, either relative
to managing the Red Sox or play
ing first base there.
With dozens OF younger BALL
players in government service and
the possibility Of many more being
called by the draft before the sea-
son opens. here 10 no doubt that
Lajoie's SER 'ces will be needed.
And IL his record at Montreal is
any indication Larry hasn't slipped
as much as was generally sup
posed.
He won the International PEN
nant with the third best team in
the league and incidentally led the
league in batting, which was
mighty good considering the kind
of pitching he was forced to face
throughout the season. In addi-
tion he developed Hearne. one of
the really great major league
pitchers nf the year.
And to lok at Larry it is hard
to believe he is through or any
ways near it. His eye is as clear
as ever and he moves around his
farm with the same cat-like grace
which always characterized his
work around second base.

FIND PILOT
FOR HERZOG
Believed Player Would Out.
rival Eddie Collins with
Right Manager.

Temperament. some OF 'em call
1t.
Maybe IL is and then again,
maybe you might say a mules gen.
eral attitude toward life was caus-
ed by temperament
Anyway a discussion Of temper
ament leads to consideration of the
latest move Of Charles Lincoln
HerZog, second baseman and field
captain of the New York Giants
who says he will not play ball with
McGraw.
Now anyone who known McGraw
and knows Herzog can figure
where the men were bound to
clash.
McGraw will not brook any inter-
ference with his way of running
a ball club. He is manager. the
highest paid manager in baseball
and he intends to be manager.
Herzog has a very high estimate
of his own ability as a baseball
player and having managed the
Cincinnati Reds made it pretty
hard for him to buckle down to
the autocratic czardom Of a Nc
Graw.
Herzog is a wonderful mechani-
cal player. He is quick, brilliant
thinker. a shifty. crafty field gen.
eral, but Herzog Is of that pecu-
liar type which may be either bene-
fetal or detrimental to his club
II everything is going good and
Herzog is feeling fine. we'll and
good. he is out there doing every
thing he can for his club, working
fighting every minute. But let the
breaks go bad and he assumes just
the opposite role.
Perhaps there Is a manager who
can handle Herzog. Maybe Mat
thewson could do It, Handling
him means more than getting just
mechanical play out of him, il
means putting him right with his
teammates, which is the most diff,
cult side of the problem. II thi;
manager can be found Herzog will
rival Eddie Collins.

TECH WAS FORCED
TO DECLINE GAMES

!. Atlantis, Ga, Dec. 2s.-Georgia Tech,
with all OF her early dates fiIled for
the coming fall. was forced to decline
two offers for games that she would
have liked 70 have played.
Pittsburgh and Indiana wanted the
Jackets TO 90 to their cities for games
next year. but inasmuch as the Teen
faculty only permits the Jackets to
make one road trip q year, and this
game had been arranged with Penn
syIvania in Philadelphia and as the
dates allotted were already filled W
Tech. the Jackets had to decline.
Pittsburgh offered to play Tech on
October u and Tech offered October
10, but q hitch arose and in the interim
Tech closed with some one else for the
18th and the game had to be passed
up.
II seems more than likely that Tech
and Pittsburgh will arrange to meet
the following year. however.

WHY NOT ALL-STAR CARD?
Gibbons and Leonard Might Offer
Services for Red Cross Bouts.

New York, Dec. 25.-It isn't too
late for some other pugilistic cham
pion to get in on the wave of pop
ularity that may be headed toward
Jess Willard. 1t wouldn't be at all
out of alignment If Mike Gibbons
or Renny Leonard were to an
nounce that he would meet anyone
as semi-wind-up affair to the big
ger heavyweight title match-and
give his services free.
In the case of Gibbons It would
require his willingness to meet
Mike O'Dowd, the st. aul youth,
who bumped Al Mccoy OF the
pedestal.
Gibbons. while recognized as the
best Of the middle-weights, has
never attained the title of cham
pion. Gibbons has been earnestly
in favor of the war and has been
lending his aid in instructing SOL
diers at Camp Dodge, Ia.
Leonard has expressed his
patriotism more than once and 1t
would add to the attraction of the
card II he and Joe yelling or
Johnny Dundee should clash as the
introduction to the heavyweight
battle.
Either Of these brawls would add
tremendously to the drawing power
Of the event and would add thou
sands Of dollars to the Red Cross
fund.

gins left St! Louis Saturday night
for his home in Cincinnati without
completing a deal for Derrill Pratt,
the Browns second baseman. Hug

that Quinn gave up and announced
there was no useN arguing any

"Huggins knows my terms" said
Quinn. "and he knows where to

not compulsory that we trade Pratt

COBB IS BEST
WITH WILLOW
Georgia Peach Distances
Nearest Rival Over Thir-
teen-Year Bout.

When Ty Cobb batted $50 during
the last basebail season. leading the
league in hits, percentage, doubles
triples and stolen bases. he also set
new record himself and nosed out
his only close rival as the greatest
batsman for a long period of years.
With one exception Cobb stood out
for and away ahead OF rivals last
season. The one very annoying eX-
ception was the 12-year record OF
Willie Keeler.
Statistical sharks found that in
twelve years Cobb had batted .36s.
They also learned that Keeler had
batted .a69. But carrying out the
decimal point farther it was found
that Keeler had batter 1856 in his
dozen years. while Cobb batted .36s3
Cobb lost the record by three-ten-
thousandths of one per cent.
So that was another record Cobb
went after this year and when the
averages were checked over it was
found that Cobb had batted 80 in
his thirteen years in the American
League, while Keeler's thirteenth
year batting mark dropped to zoe and
his thirteen-year average to .367.
Arguing from Keelers record II
might be supposed that il is about
time for the Tiger star TO hit the
decline. After Keeler had finished
his twelfth year he never had an
other great season.
In 1896 he hit .3o2, in 1906 his aver
age was .3O4. He dropped to "a in
1857. and in 1908 and 1909 he batted
| .263 and .264 respectively. In 1910 he
finished his big league career by bat
ting an even 300.
Maybe this record should stand as
a criterion OF how Cobb will act after
his thirteenth year. but the way
Cobb busted 'em up last year
doesn't look like much Of an indi-
cation that he is likedy to drop very
far for a few years TO come. at any
rate.

|ZIM'S BONER
RECALLSONE
Beckley Pursued Tom Leach
from First Base to Sec
ond to Prove Speed.

Chicago. Dec. B.-Heinie Zim's
effort to outrun Eddie Collins from
third base to the home plate in the
sixth game of the world series re-
calls that old story of Jake Beck
ley, which Is good enough to re-
peat. It was in the long ago when
Eagle Eye" Jake was playing first
base for Cincinnati. The National
League then had Louisville in its
circuit and there was considerable
rivalry between the Reds and the
Colonels.
Beckley had been slowing up some
and was coming in for q lot OF
panning and criticism. Fans were
calling him SLOW foot" ice wag-
on" and other phrases which were
particularly CALLING to Jacob.
II seems that Louisville had Just
secured. kid player named Tommy
Leach-later with the Pirates. Cubs
and other teams. Leach was a lit
tie chap and was called the fastest
runner who had come up to the
majors in years. Beckley read all
this stun. of course, and II got his
goat. In fact. any talk of speed
was irritating to Eagle Eye" those
days. AS luck would have It, the
Reds and Colonels stagedI the FIRST
game in which young Leach ap-
peared.
Some way or other Leach manag-
ed to reach first base his second
time at bat. Beckley eyed the youth
from head to foot with cynical air
So you are the lad they call the
fastest thing going on wheels, eh?'
he said.
Tommy was taken aback. He was
modest fellow always, and es-
pecially so his first years in the
big show. why, this Is my first
day here" Tommy replied. "T don't
know how 1 will run up here, I'm
sure"
Beckley grinned. "weIl, they say
nobody can beat you. I'm Just going
to give you a chance to show the
people what you can do on the sacks.
Just take a big leadoff; promise ]
won't tag you"
The youngstsr didn't quite know
what to make of this line Of talk. He
did, however. lead a few feet .as the
pitcher assumed his position. He slid
back to first when the pitcher threw
0'N'' wv SohS ihAdC lO SAOEI 70 IaS
him.
Lead OF farther, kid" insisted
Jake. I'm not going to put the ball
on you" Growing bolder, Leach led
of several more feet. and the pitcher
hurled the ball over. Beckley could
have tagged him out a yard, but made
no attempt. Returning the ball to the
pitcher, Jake again advised Tommy
to get a bigger lead.
This time Leach strayed away from
the sack more than three yards. See.
ing he was caught by the pitchers
throw. Leach tore at full speed fol
second.
Beckley, with the ball in his hand
started after him. He made no at.
tempt to throw the sphere, although the
shortstop was waiting to receive it
Down the line they tore, Leach in
front and Beckley a few steps behind
The players OF both sides were speech
less in amazement.
Leach slid into the bag at one side
and moment later Beckley slid in
from the other side. He had gained
about a step on his youthful rival
Jake rose beaming. and brushed the
dust of his uniform. Then he turned
to Leach.
You're not so blamed fast, after
all. are you? I guess 1 showed I car

before the February schedule meet

A still more interesting rumor is
that Charles w. Murphy. former
president of the Chicago National

is fact that Mr.. Murphy has shown

REGATTA DOUBTFUL.
Chairman Mapes Uncertain About
Next Years Event.

New York, Dec. 25.-Time and
the development of the next month
or two are factors that will deter
mine whether the intercollegiate
regatta Of Poughkeepsie will be
held next spring. AS the outlook
is at present, it is doubtful that
there will be a race at Poughkeep-
sic. according to Charles Halstead
Mapes of Columbia, chairman Of the
board of stewards of the 1ntercolle-
giate Rowing Association.
Mr.. Mapes said yesterday that al
though Columbia, Cornell, Pennsyl-
aynia and Syracuse would probably
haev crews on the water he did not
think they would meet in a big re-
gatta like the one held at Pough-
keepsie annually until last spring,
when it was abandoned because of
the war.
