HTHIs bit of baseball wisdom comes

TNHIS bit of baseball wisdom comes from John J. McGraw:
 "The men who make errors are just as valuable to baseball as the men who make spectacular hits and plays. If no errors were made, baseball could not survive single season. ., e
 What makes baseball. complete is the error. Did you ever stop and con slider what baseball would be if every play was made as it should be made, if every batter got hit when he was expected to get one, if nobody ever made a mental or mechanical error?
 'aThe secret of baseball's success is its uncertainty. You have got to ex- pect errors. You have got to expect players to strike out in a pinch. The baseball fan must have his bitter dis appointments to get his thrills. If he was never disappointed he would never be thrilled. He has to lose as we'll as win.
 "What you must aim for in baseball is to get the percentage. You must win oftener than you lose, come through oftener than you fail. Only then can you succeed. But you've got to take 1L baseball would die almost overnight"
 It is certain that Helen Wills will re, ceiye No. position in the national ranking of women tennis players this year but it is not at all certain that Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory will be given the No. position. Little Miss Mary K. Browne of Santa Monica, Cal, who returned to the game this year and gave an illustrious performance in, tournament play, is quite likely to be No. with Mrs. Mallory in third place. That would be triumph for this slender girl who has proved herself one of the most courageous and intelligent among women golfers and tennis play CTS. s.......-
 Others who will undoubtedly be high up in the women's ranking are Miss Eleanor Goss, Mrs. Marion Zinderstein Jessup, Mrs. Benjamin B. Cole, Miss Mayme Mcdonald, Miss Martha Bay ard, Miss Mollie Thayer and Miss Ban croft.
 In this list are a number that reach ed the main line only recently.
 
 One of the reasons for the remark able expansion of football in the last few years is the uncertainty of the game. In football, as in baseball, tht totally unexpected is ever in the wings

 The series is expected to create an unique annual classic for Birmingham which will draw nearly as well as the varsity games of the local colleges. This year the rat elevens of the two institutions are almost on par with the varsity and the game should be high class football encounter.
 Both of the local teams will play Auburn rats before their big engage ment.
