DUCoTE OUT OF ELEMENT

Moon Ducots, at present playing the
outfield for the Mobile Bears, - out
of his element in a baseball uniform.
This grand athlete, who in his days as
a football player was one of the greatest
backfield men that ever performed on
a gridiron, is unable to hit the ball and
shows a glaring weakness with the
stick.
We've seen Ducote in action with the
Auburn football team, and have watched
him thrill thousands by his bril- liant
work. He Is an entire eleven all by
himself. In a word, he is to football
what Ty Cobb is to baseball. Last fall
it was Ducote's educated toe that beat
the champion Pittsburgh football team
while Ducote was then "A COB.
But as a baseball player Ducote shows
anything but promise. While he is a
fair fielder he will have to improve
many per cent before he is able to con-
