 St. Louis, Mo, leads in kneeling, Birmingham being second with only points separating them. Worcester, Mass, is third and the famous Quin- nipiac club of New Haven Is fourth.

 Philadelphia leads in standing. with 909 total, New Haverp being points behind. Birmin gham stands fourth in this round.
 The individual gallery champion ships will be staged the latter part of January, Birmingham having seven entries In all. Pistol matches of the United States Rifle associa- ton begin also January 1. The busi- est shooting season ever experienced by the rifle clubs is on, due to the fact that the work is divided up into four separate stages. to take in all positions. No report is at hand as to how the individuals stand, but when the work is finished, Birming- ham will doubtless have several en- tries near the top, or on top.

27-12 for an average of .692. Davis of the same team pitched and won a 19-inning contest from Washing ton, In which only one man reached first base in the last nine rounds. Sam Jones and Joe Bush of Boston, Edwin Rommel, Philadelphia, and S, Cove leslxie of Cleveland all were effective despite the lively ball. while two young southpaws, Cole of Detroit and Bayne of St. Louis were almost un- beatable during the final month of the season.
 Most of the pitchers found 1t very difficult to cope with the great slug gers of the league, and the hurling, as a whole, was far less effective than in any previous year. As re- suit shut-out Victories and games of few hits were conspicous by their rarity and strike-out records or TOT mer years were not approached by the most successful of the twirlers.

For the Local NfaEs

A little boy named Quack Smith has asked me to write Santy for some baseball stars. Little Quack has been a good boy and saved up his money the past year. He don't ask you to give him these stars. but just they addresses.
 Rick, Woodward would like for you to drop a non-toppable golf ball in his stocking, and wooden club what ain't got no heel or toe, so 1t won't slice or hook. Rick may seem unreasonable in asking for something without a heel or toe, Santy, for just think how many fokes would be $. O. double L. If tn - stockings we hang up didn't have no heel or toe.
 Bring Billy West a fountain pen, so he can write me passes to all tn games at Redwood next year and won't have no alibi when I ask him for a comp.
 If these things are all looked after I'll have happy ex-Mas, and will greet the first bill col iector l see on January 1 with a smile.

GreenuilLe Quint Wins Battle From
 Junior Panthers

Greenvil1e, December 23.-(Special.) The Junior Panthers of Birmingham came to Greenville last night all tuned up for a victory over the fast five of the Greenyille High school, but they were disappointed, losing the game to the locals by a one sided score of 2S to 10s Coach George Reynolds of the Junior Birmingham Southern quintet said that it was the worth defeat dealt his team this season.
 At the beginning of the fray the visitors worked a pretty field goal, followed by foul, leading the locals by one point, which was the only | time during the game that the visit ors were ahead in the points regis tered. The Greenville basketeers started the game with great speed and undaunted courage, simply dag ing the visitors with the rapid fire and accurate pass work. The Pan thers could not get by the local guards for any goal shooting, and most of the time the ball was in ths territory of the locals.
 As to individual starring, no mem Der of the local team could be men biohCu dAcdus Ol dnOlneT. It WAS JuSt a game in which five Greenville play CTS starred. "Skeet" Mcqueen, the long, lanky, lean, fast center of the locals, got the majority of the knock offs over Vincent and he was superb In guarding and fielding. Baby" Stabler and Peacock, forwards, shot goals from the center of the court and at difficult angles. Almon Sta bier and Newton, guards, held the dangerous Senn and Caldwell of the Partners to only three field goals.
 Senn, though somewhat shot up, played brilliant game, and his work brought considerable applause from the large number of spectators. Coach Reynolds said that his team worked under difficulty for two of his best men were not with him. The locals have clean slate thus far this season, having won all of the four games played.

 Clemson Won't Play Auburn Next Season

Clemson College, December 23.--- Especial. )-The Clemson Tiger foot ball schedule has been given out by Coach E. J. Stewart. It Is complete with the exception of one date, Oc- tober '. The season opens September 30 with Centre college at Clemson.
 The only week the Tigers do not play is that before the Carolina game As this clash is on Thursday 1t was thought advisable to schedule no game so close to it as the pre- ceding Saturday. However the Ti- gers make up for this holiday by playing on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, when many teams are idle.
 Georgia and Auburn will not be met because they wanted to play Clemson on October 21 and 2S, and 1t would have been folly for the Tigers to meet such teams the Satur- day before or immediately after the Carolina game.
 There will be no Thanksgiving game, but Florida will be met the Saturday after Thanksgiving, Decem- Der 2, at Jacksonville.
 The schedule follows:
 September 30-Centre at Clemson. october 7-Open.
 October 14-Presbyterian college at Clemson. October 26-South Carolina at Co., lumbia (State Fair). November 4-Georgia Tech at At lanta.
 November 11-Citadsl at Charles ton.
 November 1s-Erskine at Ander- son.
 November 25-Furman at Green vile.
 December 2-Florida at Jackson vile.
 Basketball

To the Veterans
 While l am dealing with this box fighting game, 1 will say a few words to the rest of the boys. There is Mike Gibbons. f'rin- stance. Mike, I hope you don't age no more in the next so years than you have in the past so. I hope that Benny Leonard can establish a dieting schedule that will get him back into the light- weight class. Benny don't weigh no more than cargo of pigs iron now He's took on weight so fast in tn midriff that he looks like a blimp.
 King George Carpenter hasn't been able to find one rib at all since Jack the Demp hit him so much in tn body. I sincerely trust that Carp locates tn missing rib some times In 1922. and that he manages to forget the rib en- tirely so that he can enjoy ex- Mas. As friend Adam once said: What's one little rib between friends, anyway"
 l hope John Wilson, the middle man, takes correspondence course III ln6 luHHy HlSIlldlS OA fighting before his next bout, so that the box commlssaries won't hold up his purse from him. No matter how rich guy may be, he needs them little thirty thou sand dollars every few nights or so.
 To the Baseball Boys
 |. t,I Cobb Is left a new bat by Santy with base hits in it, what won't require any physical exertion on Tiberius' part. Ty is getting up In years, and shouldn't ort to have to run out base hits like the young boys what ain't no more than S5 years and in their primer, you might say
 For Fred Toney, I hope he learns a way to stall off the shower baths. Fred is good guy, and to make a man take a bath every day, when every Sat urday night would serve the pur- pose, is nothing short of crime.
 I hope that Santy brings Judge Landis strength enough to hft suspension. The reason why say that Is that Bam B. Ruth will alters have a alibi for not break ing his home-run record if he gets a 30 days late start. He will spend all next winter, writing in th' press about what he would Of did If he had of got away from the barrier. If the Judge lifts that suspension Baby won't have no ho GaUpd fha torture of reading reams of eX- cuses, which would sound like Anderson South. Carollna's fairy tales.
 over On the GridirOn
 Dear Santy, please bring Bo McMillin a new pair of shoes. Bo had to cover so much ground dur ing the course of the past foot ball season that he wore out eV- ery. pair of kicks in stock, and u13Sss you come to his rescue he win have to go through the win ter like Washington's men done. at Valley Forge. Of course, Dali las, Texas. is going to give Bo 10000 berries for coaching next season, but Bo hasn't got none of that jack in hand" yet.
 Ed Shirling ought to get a lump of assofoetida to keep folks away from him. Everybody in creation laid for Ed the past grid season, and fell on his neck so much that 1t wore his Adams ap- pie down until it ain't nothing but lever ground around the col lar line now.
 Judy Harlan should get a nice strip of right-of way that he can run on when he wants to. Judy found a bunch of rough play mates that wanted to put they knee caps in his cheek-bones ev- cry time he started a sprint the past season.

PUT MUCH FAITH IN ACORN
In England II Is Looked Upon as
Protector Against Lightning, and
as Love Charm.

From Druidical times the acorn has
been held to be sure protection
against lightning, as the tops Of many
fiagstaffs, the end Of cornice poles,
umbrella tassels and blindcOrds still
attest. Even TO this day, In English
rural districts, when n thunderstorm
threatens, farm-laborers and others
will HE them to the nearest oak tree,
gather an acorn and carry it about
with them till the sky clears. In many
parts of Great Britain "A girl Tilted by
her lover will seek by the light of the
moon for a dried acorn beneath an
oak tree. This she will burn at mid
night in a candle flame. reciting mean
while the following doggerel: "'Tis not
this acorn would burn, but my true
loves heart that l would turn. May
he no Joy nor profit see, till he comes
back again to me-" Welsh peasants
hold that to plant an acorn brings
lifelong good luck; simple way, one
would imagine, to insure ones future
success. The resultant sapling, how
ever, must on no account be trans
planted. If this is done, most terrible
things are bound to happen.

MAKING SPACE IN KITCHEN
Ingenious Arrangement Of Requisite
Furnishings Does Away With
Necessity for Large Room.

In these days when rents are so
high people are commonly obliged to
economize space as much as possible,
the family kitchen may be no more
than a closet ingeniously fitted with n
gas range and other essentials.
Couches convertible into beds and 9TH
er clever contrivances useful for more
than one purpose are at premium.
The newest invention in this line, pat
ented by q resident of South Chi
cago is an arrangement whereby
chairs, when not in use, may be fold
ed and slowed beneath table. Each
chair, attached by n bracket TO the
inner side of table may be slid
out on a rod to a comfortable sitting
distance, a slot in the rod enabling this
to be done, whereupon thumbscrew
makes Ii fast. When 1t Is desired to
get the chair out of the way, its back
IS folded down, the screw is loosened
and the chair, after being slid inward
along the slot, is turned bodily over.

HERE'S END OF OLD H. C. OF L.
According to University Authority, the
Next Generation Need Not Worry
About Its Food.

Miss Lillian Herman of the Uniyer-
sity of Michigan is an authority on
chemical analysis. Addressing the
Ryerson library class at Grand Rap
ids recently she said the time is COM
ing when a man, becoming hungry. will
simply take shovel and go into his
yard and get shovelful of dirt, take
it into his private laboratory, put it
into the family hopper" pour in con-
centrated essence of sunshine, turn
crank, and then go around to the other
side and wait by the spout to catch his
eggs, tomatoes, cucumbers or radishes,
whatever he desires.
This food, she said, will come out in
the form of small lozenges, concentrat-
ed and convenient. A chemical analysis
of them will show they contain all the
ingredients of our vegetables. and will
also have the same taste.
Miss Herman believes that the next
generation will see the start of 1t and
that the following generation will use
ii habitually.
