BARON FIRST EASTMAN AND MEMPHIS CENTER. FIELDER BURNING UP BASES IN RACE
Bernsen Is Pushing Huhn Fol Lead Of Hitters, While Moore Is Leading Pitchers

As comparatively few bases are pilfered in the majority of the leagues this season the record be- ing established by Cuyler of Nash vile and Nenn of Birmingham, be- come of prime importance in the statistics of the Southern association. For a time it looked as If Cuyler had shaken this pursuer but with the latter getting a fair lead the Bir- mingham flyer puts on more steam and threatens to catch up.
 During the last week Cuyler added five stolen bases to his record for a total of AZ while Neun sprinted to a total of 3S, also an addition of five to his last weeks mark.
 In addition to speeding between the bases Cuyler has also succeeded i nagain getting over the pan lot of times although D. Williams of Mobile is the present leader with S9.
 In hitting Huhn of Mobile is still at the peak but he has dropped slightly from his record of last week. Bernsen of Nashville has shown again and is now second among the sluggers. The averages are not high but the figures shown consistency in hitting, more marked in the South ern than in most any other league.
 R. Williams of Mobile has been hanging on but has been compelled to give way to Bernsen in the rank ing. Herman of Memphis and Cueto of Mobile are nearest
 Hawks, the former American as- sociation player. continues his clout- ing for Nashville although he has dropped considerably from his last weeks record.
 D. Clark of Atlanta has run his homerun total to 1S and Herman of Memphis has added two to his ten. Most of the four base drives dur ing the week have been scattering the fences in most cases being too far away from the leaders.
 Most of the teams have bettered their hitting, Nashville in the lead having increased its hold on first place by , points, In ranking the teams are practically where they were last week. The same holds true in fielding.
 More of Birmingham has become one of the real leaders among the pitchers although how has worked in less than half the number of in- nings that others have toiled in Tha premier honors are shared among Whitaker, McQuillan. Long and Martina.

Panther Alurranii. Looking Forward
 To Great Season

The Alumni Association of Bir- mingham Southern College held a meeting the past week, and one of the main features of the meeting, which was presided over by the new President, Frank Dominick, was spilling of optimism over the coming football season. The Alumni mem bers to a man, seemed to think that the coming campaign would be one of the most prosperous ever enjoyed by a Panther aggre gation.
 It was pointed out. that from squad of twenty eight husllie last season, that only six men had been who will pe missed to q large extent are Paul tMike) Norton, and Frog Miller" The latter has taken up the role of coach for the Freshies this season.
 Frank Dominick the new alumni president, is a progressive. Progress sives never look backward and Mo sieur Frank is looking forward to the coming season with all the optim- ism in the world. Tt looks like great array of talent" said Dr. Dom- mick. ITO begin with we have Old Hoss Candy. one of the most Iowa ble souls, and one of the greatest stars who ever stepped out on southern football team as captain this year. 11OSS, WILu lHt lloilOl Ol IelPbhIii Lo spur him on should SOW greater deeds of valor than ever this season.
 o o O
 Have Much Material.
 "A resume of the talent that will be on hand when Coaches Brown and Wingo sound the call to aims. shows that we gre not going begging for material this year. At ends We will have Caldwell and Candy; Weeks and Ellis at the tackles; Farr, Whitesode and Scott, guards Levi and Rolls Centers; while in the back field such sterling men as Griffin, Richardson, Williams. Anderson and Stead will trot forth for pigskin and ground gaining honors."
 The Methodists will hop off in the 1923 season with a new coach in charge of backfeld duties. Hereto fore for the past several years Jlnks Gillem has assisted Coach Charlie Brown with the Panther material. Jinks resigned during the summer, and this necessitated the appoint ment of a new assistant coach. No better man could have been procured than Doug. Wlqgo. who knows his football from A to H Doug. was formerly a star and Coach at Marion, and then served time on the outfit, Lee Generals.
 At the past weeks meeting of the alumni Association it was announced by the new president that the fol- lowing men mad been named as the executive committee for the en- suing year: Ed Norton, Chairman; Charles E. Rice, D. l.. Wilkinson, J. M. Malone. F. M. Jackson Jr., T. l.. Mcdonald, 3. .' Ray, r. F. Spain, w. M. Woodall and w. W. Hale.

George -islcr, whose facing from the base ball business removed one of the few brave spirits from the American league. was last years prize winner and Ruth, who was then a rowdy character, has risen to Sislers emi- nence in almost ali respects.
 When Ruth raised a hlghball to his mouth, set down the glass and proimsed one evening last fall that that would be his last drink until the 1929 world series was over, it was only natural that the skeptics at the bcurd should scoff as they did. But he reported for work this sprins weighing about 25 pounds less than he weighed the spring before and one result of his abstinence and strength of character has been his great ef- ficiency as an outfielder. Ruth now covers more ground than the shadow of doubt and no man will have done more to win the championship again for the Yankees than the exemplary Babe, known as the bad guy of 1922.

O o O Not Taken Seriously.

This recommendation, it might be added, was not taken very seriously; in fact, just about as seriously as the U. :. G, As mandate against seel shafted clubs
 In this connection it is significant that the invitation tournament at the Rochester Country club the last week in June was won by Arthur Yates using full set of steel shafted clubs. Recently the Massachusetts amateur championship was conduct ed without any ban on the steel clubs. while during the past week in the Connecticut titular meeting at New London a similar policy was followed. Then there was the New England professional amateur tour nament at the Worchester Country club short time since. Nearly ev- cry bag carried steel shafted club and practically all the professionals drove with steel shafted drivers.
 Reverting to figures, d statistician has calculated that more than mll- lion dollars is spent on the game of golf every year in this country. One of the items in the estate is s26,- 100000 for golf property, and there is another $5,0O00 for club furnish ings Other calculations include s25,OO00Q0 for salaries, $3,000,00O for architects fees, s25O00 for course construction and SG0,OO0 for dues.
 Following along that line of thought, golf, to be good, must be prohibitive.

CASE PRIZES FOR GOLF CHAMPS ARE

S500 As Reward For Win ing Open Championship
 Don't Dazzle Anyone


 NEW NORN, August 1.-The spectacle of nearly 4U0 golfers, com prising the cream of the professional and amateur talent in America, gath cred recently at the national open championship at the lnWoUd Country club on Long island, once again em- phasized the amazing inconsistency under which this game is laoorinE. With its investment of many miI- lions of dollars in club houses. equip ment and what not, this nation wide sport sees its open champion eaCn year win a prize of $500. A fourth rate pugilist who never gets past the semi-final stage often receives that amount of money for his half hour entertainment, whether good, bad or indifferent.
 The professional golfers who may travel thousands of miles and spen; hundreds of dollars for the more chance of trying to qualify, stands to lose both time and money. If ho fails to qualify it is a total loss, not only in money, there is an injury to his reputation as we'll. In Great Britain where money is not nearly so plentiful as in this country, purses are hung up that total several times the amount offered at the big event here. The United States Golf assocla- tion considers $500 ample reward for the champion, and it has gone still further by recommending tha. minor associations and clubs stag ing open meetings, limit their prize lists.

ABOUT EXERCISES

The adult who has brought his body
to a proper development during the
formative stage and who has strong
and normal organs can not expect to
retain health even upon this excellent
foundation, without continuing to ex-
ercise. The young man or woman who
is atletic up to the time that bodily
growth ceases and then stops exercis-
ing altogether is often disposed to ac-
cumulate fat rapidly. This is explain
ed by the fact that fat is poorer and
less complex tissue than muscle and
is more easily stored. There are
some persons who are just naturally
inclined to be fat, or bulky, and their
excess of adipose tissue is not due en-
tirely to lack of exercise. But in al
most every case a tendency to become
fat can be partially offset by physi-
cal training and careful supervision of
diet.
Dramatically opposed to the ex-
tremely fat are the extremely thin
types who take no exercise. Their lack
of flesh is due to the fact that they
consume tissue as rapidly as they man
ufacture it. This may be due either to
an excess of nervous energy or to a
lack of ability to take enough nourish
ment to keep the supply ahead of the
demands on it, Exercise will often re-
suit in a gain in weight for such per
sons, because the digestive system
will be sufficiently strengthened tc
catch up to the schedule imposed by
the nervous system-June Delineatol

west. A number Of stops in Northern
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Montana, North

Utah, Nebraska, and Iowa will be
made. A three fold idea is in the
minds of those backing the project.
The Colleges of Agriculture in the
states to be visited will extend educa-
ton regarding the Dairy Industry.
The Breed Association cooperating in
the undertaking are looking to further
ing the market for pure-bred and high
grade breeding stock. The railroads
are expecting to build up traffic for
their lines intersecting the states visit
ed. The main expenses outside OF
freight are being born by the breed
associations of the State and National
with the Holstein Associations bearing
the major portion. The exhibit will be
representative of the COW population
of Wisconsin. Holsteins will predomi
nate, inasmuch as they out number all
other breeds in the state, and in the
states to be visited, Reid Murray of

Without question it will broaden the
field of education relating to the better

1t will also have far reaching effect
on widening Wisconsin's reputation as
