DUGANIS BEST VOTE
 CATERER IN MAJOlSl|
More Nearly Unanimous Than Ruth-Pie Tray
 nor Best National Third Stacker

of .317, Hale with an average of .314.
 A year ago Frankie Frisch probably would have been favorite for the posi- ti6n of third baseban on an All-Na- tional league team. Having played all the past season at second base, he was eliminated from consideration as can didate for the other position in the minds of most National leaguers. A considerable number, however, decided he ought to be on the all-league team even if it was necessary to switch him from his regular post.
 Traynor Wins National
 A majority of the votes go to Tray nor of the Pittsburg team, who, al- though not quite up to. his 1923 stand ard, still performed brilliantly in 1924, particularly during the latter part of the season. The ballot:
 Traynor, 6S; Frisch, 20; Groh, New York, 14; Pinelli, Cincinnati, 6; Fri berg, Chicago, ?; Stock, Brooklyn, 1.
 The vote for ,Frisch as third base man, taken in conjunction with the vote given him for second base and shortstop, presents an interesting cir cumstance. Thirty-six wanted him at second base and -four at shortstop. In brief, total ofosixty, more than half of those who voted, gave him a first choice ballot for some position on the All-National aggregation.
 Of Traynor it can be said that the figures bear out the contention of a majority of the players that he was the best of the National league third basemen this year. He fielded as bril- liantlly as Groh, his nearest rival, and excelled the Giant as a batter and base runner. Their record: ruo c. Ag H. H ,i MR sB Pst; s; Groh .... IA 55s s2 i57 2 .2sl
 On one of the ballots which chose Traynor,' was written this notation 'Traynor would be the greatest short shop in baseball if given chance to show there"
 None of the experts picked Traynor as All-American third basemen. Babe Ruth was the only one to select Du- gan.

 high Tigers on Kenney field. Both Marion and Fayette have several stars. Fayette boasts of as fleet quarterback as has dodged an ambitious tackler.

The Mario.i Jackets have not lost game this sea. son, they have the edge on for the 10. calls, but Coach Scott says the Tiger was never more ferocious, his paws sn shap nor his spring so sure and he is confident of surprise for the Yellow jackets. 2

 EDITORS NOTE: This is the eighth of a series of daily articles analyzing tne vote by which the players of the two DIE was taken for exclusive publication in this city the Age-Herald, the ballots being se- cured by the North American Newspaper Der.
 If you were asked which player in the big leagues would come nearest to getting the unanimous vote of his com rades as the premier performer in his position, it's 10-to-1 bet you'd men tion Babe Ruth, wouldn't you!
 But you'd be all wrong. Joe Dugan, Yankee team mate. of Ruth, is the best vote gatherer in either the American or National leagues.
 The poll taken of big league players shows that of the 116 American leaguers who cast ballots, IA wanted Duugan as third baseman on the All American team. The two dissenters were divided in their choice. One was for Jones of Detroit. The other chose Bluege of Washington.
 Jones got his vote from one of his own team mates, but Bluege was the ShVASS OA q oh oPpOo1hAOAA team.
 Dugan Superior
 Granted that Jones and Bluege were the equals of Dugan in fielding sense, which many will dispute, the Yankee was superior to both on the offense.

PICKENS COUNTY
 HAS FINE TEAM
Victory Over Tuscaloosa Stamps
 Them As Title COntenders

REFORM, Ala, Nov. 1.-(Special.) Coach Jackson's Pickens county foot ball eleven, by vitrue of taking a bitter ly fought battle from the Black Bears of Tuscaloosa high a week ago, Friday on Denny field, 14-12, is making a strong bid for the state championship. Although the Red and Black Warriors have met only one Alabama high school, the locals have forced two former Mis- sissippi title-holders to fall before the bewildering and rushing attack of the heavy Plckens county team, while Tus- caloosa, who had fought Sidney -Lanier Poets to - draw the previous Sat urday in the Capitol City and who were considered Alabama title contenders, had both the Bears chances scattered to pieces when Pickens marched through the Druid City eleven last week on their own back yard, Pickens thereby mak- ing great step toward the top.
 After opening his second year as head coach and director of athletics, Coach Jackson is now running his eleven into the strongest football team ever turned out at Pickens Simpson, fullback, and the greatest triple-threat man in the Tigers ever claimed. is one of Picken's stars. He passes, hits the line, and has entire charge of the bunting depart ment, including the kickoff and place. ments, while he also calls signals and backs up the line for the secondary de- fense like college player. In the Tuscaloosa game he broke through right tackle for 63 yards and Picken's first touchdown, while on numerous other occasions, he tore through the Bears line with ten and 12 yard gains. Simp- son brought Pickens out of several holes with long punts. During the four games he has gained 424 wards through the line for an average of 5.6 yards each time
 The Tigers of Pickens also boast of two of the fastest, heaviest and most aggressive guards seen in action in west Alabama in the person of Big" Bepry, POO, and Death" Hildreth. alternate captain. Both were in almost every play of the Tuscaloosa -Pickens game, throwing Suther, stellar fullback, for losses time after time. Hildreth is a | great tackler and possesses speed. Berry opened up the Black Bears line for his team mates to hit, and it was Berry who made the opening which Simpson dashed through for 63 yards.
 Captain Cox, who was pronounced | the best halfback in west Alabama last | year. has not been used regular on ac- count of a bad knee. Coach Jackson saving him for the Tuscaloosa game, but he came through uninjured, and now he will see regular service.

 If the player is d natural lcft-hander he should not attempt to switch to right. One should swing as he throws Il ball. The majority of handed players throw balls right-handed and that accounts for their poor showing. In other words, they might just as well try to learn to throw a ball left-handed, which would be q physical impossibility as to try to play golf tha \tway.

Where foot and mouth disease

Eradication of the disease is ac-
complished by constant vigilance,
rigid quarantine of all suspicious
cases and slaughter and burial of
diseased and exposed animals.
After proper disposal of affect
ed animals the infected premises
must be thoroughly cleaned and dis
infected and all feed, such as hay,
fodder, etc, must be destroyed.
All dairy %by-products should be
sterilized before being brought to
the ranch.
Employees should not be permit
ted to visit other stock ranches and
should be forbidden to handle out
side animals.
Any suspicious cases should be
reported at once to the nearby
State, Federal or county livestock
sanitary official.
Complications arising from foot
and mouth disease affections are so
disastrous that efforts to cure it
have been found to be economic
ally impracticable.
