BOONE PUTS FINISH ID PELICAN HOPES Brilliant Young Collegian Nails Down Pennant for
 the Crackers
BY Associated Press

New Orleans September 3.-Boone was an enigma to New Orleans hatsmen and Atlanta virtually nailed down the 1919 Southern association pennant by winning today's game, , to O, making it two straight Three widely scattered hits. one of which was a scratch, was the sum total of bngles off the lanky Cracker right-hander Atlanta punched hits off Torkelson and was helped by local errors and misplays
 As a result of the defeat, New Orleans not only was practically eliminated from the face, but dropped into third place, Little Rock and Chattanooga splitting a double header
 Sensational fielding kept Atlanta from scoring off Torkelson until the fourth inning, when with two out, Galloway and Dykes singled and Higgins brought them both home with a two bagger.
 In the fifth, kopp led off with a two- bagger. Damrau beat out an intended sacrifice bunt while Kopp went to third
 Herndon hoisted short fly to left Mayer hit to short and kopp was out at the plate ma close decision. In double steal, Agnew threw the ball into center field and Damrau scored, while Mayor took third. Mayer was out at the plate when Agnew dropped pitched ball, but recovered it in time to catch Mayer.
 Dykes single, Boone's triple and an error gave the visitors two more runs ir, their ninth Score:

ANNISTON SPORTS

Anniston, September 3-(Special0 The Lanette, Ga, team was defeated by the Red Circle team Tuesday afternoon on the Anniston field. notwithstanding the fact that the visitors were strength ened by Cecil Green, Jimmie Johnson, , and Carl Poss from the Camp Mcclellan team, the final score being to 4.
 The visitors put up a hard struggle for the second contest of the three game series, but were able to put over only 1 runs during the entire game. Poss, who worked in the outfield pulled down long fly which would have changed the figures on the score board materially had it gotten away from the lanky camp player, and his catch was considered the most brilliant piece of work during the game.
 The spectators were not treated to an exhibition similar to that staged during the Monday game when free for all fight was put on.

"ATotal Wreck"
 Says Tennessean
Who Say. He Now Feels Fine,
 Since Taking Ziron Iron Tonic

David Jones' of Forbus, Tenn. writes: ~I got a bottle of Ziron and will say that never had anything to come in 50 good a time as I was thinking of giv- ing up. I was so weak I cannot tell YOU how bad felt. Had stomach trouble. loss of appetite. couldn't sleep. in fact was a total wreck all over. as am subject to weak spells in the Spring of the year. After using Ziron will say I now feel fine and can do fine days work. I think you have a good medi' cine. and I can surely recommend 1t to any one who needs a tonic"
 Medical authorities and text books agree that iron ia needed to keep tho system in Yooi condition. lnvestiga- ton shows that pale. weak. tired people generally l.ck tho necessary amount of iron in their blood. The strength that iron gives may be obtained by taking Zfron Iron Tonic. Try it. Ask your druggist about his guarantee on Ziron.

championship in 1911. From then on he hit for marks far below his grand av-
 craze up to that time. Added years were
 slowing his legs and dimming his bat ting eye.
 COBB ADDS TO AVERAGE 'A But here is Cobb, rapping the ball for
 nearly 20 points better than the remark
 able average he made earlier. Wagner, for nearly 10 years, hit for grand total of beyond 340. But after
 1908 he never again reached the figure.
 Cobbs average was around .371 at the
 close of 191S Yet Cobb, nearly B years
 of age, is whanging at the rate of nearly 3S0 in 1919. Wagner. after only F years
 in service, began tearing down his av-
 craze; Cobb, in his fifteenth. is still building up.

 next year he reached .S43 but in the thir- teenth it was only .3O2 and in the four- teenth his mark was .304.

 batting average beyond anything in base ball history, the great Frenchman LOOK a slump-woefully. In his twelfth and again in his thirteenth years-i9O7 and 19OS-La1ole fa1led to redcn .or HIS UT op

How long will Ty Cobb endure?
 The majority of baseball critics accord
 to the mighty Georgian the glory of be- time. And it now begins to look as if he will prove to be the most durable. Here is Cobb, battling in his fifteenth campaign, a veteran of veterans, yet he is leading the whole baseball world in batting, running bases with almost all the deer-like speed of his youth, and fielding in superb and spectacular fashion.
 Cobb today is almost as wonderful as at any time during his illustrious career. In fact, Cobb in 1919 is banging the horsehide mark far beyond his grand average-an achievement beyond any thing that any other athlete has shown
 after 15 years in big league harness.
 FEW COMPARE WITH TY Anson, Keeler, Lajoie and Wagner those are the only swatsmiths entitled to be mentioned in the same breath as the southern typhoon." Each was a marvel yet not one swept through b campaigns and was found, in the fif- teenth, playing baseball of the supera- tive kind Each slipped" once or twice over that long sweep of time. But Cobb never has slipped.
 Ansof1 broke into the 300 class in 1876 and for more than a dozen years he was a bludgeon artist of the most remark able kind. But in 1890 the big fellow began to slip. He hit for only .311 that year, and in the following two-1S91 and 1S92-he couldn't reach the .30o mark. And Anson's play around the first base station began to lose more and more of it's brilliancy after a dozen years or so. and his legs, never speedy, slowed up just a little more.
 But Cobb, playing his fifteenth year, is still the greatest ball player in the game. Wagner hit 300 or better for F consecu- tive years But after 14 his star began
 to set He annexed his last batting
