Newspaper Page TextIN THE WORLD OF SPORTS The All-Southern College Baseball team of 1909 as plcked by J. W, Heis man sas follows: Catchers and ‘captains, Buchannan, Tech,; Gantt, Trinity; pitchers, Tucker, Alabama; Mayer, Tech. first base, McCoy, Au burn; second basge, Derrick, Georgia; shortstop, Pratt, Alabama; third base, W, West, Trinity; Cochran, Clemson; outflelders, W. Baker, Tennessove; Goldnamer, Vanderbilt. Utility, Smith, Auburn, Montgomery park in Memphis for thirty ycars and more the scene of many of thd greatest running races in the .cguntry, has -been dedicated as a race track for trotters and pacers, Bd Geers and other famous trainers now in Memphis pronounce it as fast as any track'in the country. Adverse legislation in regard to bookmaking was the cause of the change fram running to harness racing. Tommy Burns says he now knows how Jack Johnson fights, and caa beat him in a return go. No one| doubts the first assertion, Because of the poor showing made by the team this year Manager Babb of the Memphis Southern league club announces a general shake-up. Waiv-‘ ers are out for Cobb, the rightficlder, who will be sold. Lindsay, the short-| stop, has gone to New Orleans, and' Shields, the Memphis pitcher, willl be transferred. It is understood that Pitcher Fritz of the New ()rleans’ club has bheen secured by Babb andl Rudolph Schwenk, last year success ful pitcher, will join the team at oncu.l Alfred Shrubb, the English middle distance champion, proved his ability | to go farther than fifteen miles in winning style by defeating Henry St. Yves, the Marathon champion from France in, their twenty-mile race on the Montreal Amateur Athletic asso ciation grounds.. Shrubb won by about 640 vards in the fast time ot 1:54:25. St. Yves finished out the race in 1:56:24. Shamrock 111, Sir Thomas Lipton's cutter, which carried the hopes ut Great Britain in the international vacht races and was defeated decis ively by the Reliance in 1903, has been condemned and will be sold for junk. After being defeated by the Reliance, the Shamrock 111 was taken out of the water at Erie basin and has been high and dry for six years. Word has reached New York that Sir Thomas has sold the famous racer and that its new owners will break it up for the material it contains. Jack Johnson, the big colored heavy-weight champion, failed to win over Jack O’Brien, the Philadelphia light-weight, in a six round bout. The fight was even and the consensus of opinion was that it should have been a draw had a decision been permis sible. O'Brien’s marvellously fast foot-work and his superior Dblocking saved him frem danger in several close mixes, and three times he was forced to his Lknees by the negro’s great strength and weight. It was a fast fight, O’Brien doing the most Jeading. Johnson was slow on his feet and apveared nct to be in good condition. Repeatedly the champion rushed his smaller antagonist, but gseldom landed effectively. A right hand counter in the fifth round cut O'Brien’s right eye and this was the sum total of the damage done in the six rounds, O’Brien was in and out like a flash in nearly every .round, stabbing Johnson on the face, but the blows lacked force and had no effect other than to make the big hlack man grin and wave his hand at the crowd. Tt js a hard matter to keep up with the many changes made by President! Jones of the South Atlantic league on his staff of umpires, as' the name of a new arbirator has appeared, almost every day rec3ntly in the official scores. Since the season started, the South Atlantic lcague has had no lecss than thirteen -umpires. Of the thir teen the following have departed for other climes: Setley, Mayfield, Lucid, Horner, Smith, Butler and Howe. Dalyl has not officiated lately and it is pre-! sumed that he has got his release. The present staff is reported to be composed of Westervelt, Martin, Lew is, Gifford and Van Sycle. On behalf of George B. Dovey, pres ident of the Boston National league ream, Senator Lodge of Massachusetts vresented to President Taft a special vass to the games of that club in Bos ton this summer. The pass is engrav ed on a -ilver plate and is gocd for the president and his family. The oresident thought he would avail him self of the privileee while spending ‘he summer o¢n the Massachusetts coast. The Western Carolina league, in cluding Asheville, Hendersonville, Waynesville and Canton, has been or eanized and will play its first games cune 15. The season will last three months., Charles Bryant of Asheville :3 president *of the league. Other towns may come in. James J. Jeffries has jumped on the scales in public for the first time since he came out of retirement, and ‘n the presence of a few interested persons in Chicago tipped the beam at 243 pounds. Jeffries announced he would weigh again before he left Chi-‘ ¢ago, and would show whether or not he was reducing his weight. He said his best fighting weight was 220, ‘Baseball teams have been oQrganiz ed in South Carolina at the cotton mills at Laurens, Newberry and Clin ilon, and a league formed, and games will be played at the several mills during the summer. There are four taams in this league, one at the New-+ jerry Cotton mill, one at the Watts mill, at Laurens, one at the Clinton &Iﬂ} at;,@ugi, n, and one at the Lydia AR oL.&k’w Ini I b ’vsnxmmﬁmz‘n;{wh‘mﬁé@ ~ There will be no special investiga tion of the salary limit of the Chatta nooga club, as asked for by the Co lumbia franchise owners, President W. A. Jones of the South Atlantic loague says there Is no need of such an investigation, and the agitation of the Columbia people is the result of a misapprehension, Bobby Gllks has resigned from the verth as manager of the Savannah Zouth Atlantic league baseball team dand in his stead Ernie Howard, out jelder of the team is at the steering vheel for the present, It i 3 probable ‘hat had Gllks remained longer in vharge of the team the knocking, or “offorts for the goed of the team,” would have given him the can. He re ‘ired gracefully, in & nice letter so -he ownership and received a nice let ‘er in reply. The Savannah players axplain by saying “Gilks is a nice fel ‘ow, but he's too easy cn us.” Howard hasn't that sort of a reputation, ex tept the first part of it, and will be diven a month's trial. The Savannah ‘ans were demanding a change and it wd to come, regardless of Gilks' abil '‘ty. The team was, and maybe yet ‘s, on the chute and some sort of brakes had to be applied to soothe ‘he fans. Apparently desperate in their at tempts to succeessfully back the Memphis team with so-called whisper wagers in violation of the Southern leazue constitution, which prohibits amwing on the grounds, the gambling fraternity who have always been more or less a source of evil to the Mem nhis Baseball aser~~iation, are making lifs miserable for the Turtles by caus tic criticism hurled from the bleach ers and stands during the frequent de ‘eats. Tom O’Brien, scout for the Cleve land American league team, was in (Chattanooga looking over the Chatta nooga, South Atlantic league players. [t is said that he is particularly anx ious to get a line on Pitchers Gaskil and McKenzie, Outfielder Reidy and Firet Baseman Johnston. : The Jacksonville club has purchésed Pitcher A. Weaver from Nashville; has traded infielder John Burkotte to Augusta for infielder Fred Bierman; and Qas secured pitcher Girard from the Little Reck club. President W. A. Jones of the South Atlantic league has ruled that the home team can require visiting clubs to play off tie games. Pitcher Miller, the southpaw tried by Cleveland American league team, and released by the local club, has sizned up with Columbia of the South Atlantic. Cicotte, a fermer Augusta twirler, has developed into one of the fore most, pitchers in the American league. Ruby Schwenck, one of the main stays of the Memphis team last sea son, and who has held out for a couple of months this year, has reported. Herbert Smith, the catcher who was turned over to Augusta during the spring by the Atlanta team, has been turned back to Atlanta and re leased outright by the latter. * Manager Mique Finn of the Little Rock team has announced the sale of Pitcher Girard to Jacksonville, in the South Atlantic league. : Martin J. Sheridan, the Irish-Amer ican Athletic elub world’s champion discus thrower, sent the newly-adopt ed disc from a seven-foot circle at the Pastime Athletic club's oval in New York city for a new word’s record of 138 feet 11 3-4 inches. The former record of 132 feet 11 inches was held by M. ¥, Horr, The veteran, Theo. Breitstein, New Orleans’ leading pitcher, declares he will never pitch again on Sunday. Not on account of religicus scruples, but he believes the day is a Jonah to him He has not won a Sunday game in several vears, and rarely loses on week days. Pitcher Bill Hart, who started in Chattanooza in 1885, then to the big league, retiring two different times, re-entering playing with Little Rock this season, has won three games al readv—two being from New Orleans. The work in all three games was of a high order. The hill before the Tennessee legis lature lezalizing Sunday baseball was lost in the. committee room. Games at Memnhis on the Sabbath will be continued. De Bault. pitcher. and Manush, third haseman of Montgomery have been ¢old to Jacksonville and Savannah, respectfully. . The veteran, Jack O’Connor, has taken on a new lease of life down at Little Rock and is playing and coach ing like a gingery youngster. Clyde Engle, the hard-hitting out fielder of the New York Americans bezan his baseball career in Nash ville as a piteher, in 1902. He was subsequently released to Columbia, S. C., in the South Atlantic league. Notwithstanding Memphis is at the tail end, she has asked for waivers on Pitcher Wiilis and Catcher Dailey, brinzing her down to the fifteen-men limit. Catcher Jack Hardy, given by Nash ‘villn to Mobhile gratis, is proving to ‘be the batting sensation of the league. He broke up three games last week with long drives. Three of the Southern league's um pires, Rudderham, Carpenter and Mo ran, have had big league experience. They ars absolute masters of every game in which they officiate. Of the players who have played ten games or more, Raftis of Birmi leads the Southern league in Wwith 8 percentage. of .a 75 t © v Shoes In Four Minutes. . i eet . How long would it take you to make a palr of boots, do you think? You probably had better not begin it, especially if you need them soon. Even a cobbler in the old days, work ing with his assistant, would spend @& day and a bhalf making a pair of boots, and the cost would be about $4. But now, of course, shoes aro made by machinery, and it is aston. {shing to hear how quickly they are made. It takes just four minutes to make a pair of boots. And the labor cost 1s about 35 cents, Of course, no one makes the whole boot nowadays, There are a hundred different men making different parts of it, and each one doeg the same thing over and over agaln, and each man learns to do his particular work especially well and quickly. And you should see the buttons sewed on! A boy takes the part of the shoes where the buttons are to go and fitg it into a machine, throws in a handful of buttons quite carelessly, turns the machine, and in no time out comes the piece of leath er with all the buttons exactly in the right place. No wonder some factom fes turn out 10,000 pairs of shoes in a day.—Chicago Daily News, The Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantlo Railroad Will sell exeursion tickets at reduced rates for the following occasions: American Association of Opticians, At lanta, Ga., June 21st-24th, 190).

I wish you could all come to Kings ton and see the fine old things here. It 1s called the Colonial City because it was settleq in the old Colonial days, ‘way back in 1661, but it was calleq] Wiltwyck then; so you can see it is very old. There are many oli houses here. The oldest one is call ed the Senate House. When the British burned our city in the Revolutionary War all the houses were burned except the Sen ate House. Let me tell you something about this house. It was built in 1676, and George Washington had his headquarters here once. It was also the first capitol of New York state. It is two stories hizh anq is made of old stone. It is in good condition, and many people visit it to view the old relics kept there. The last time 1! went there I saw a spinning wheel, some of George Washington’s clothes, old-fashioned kitchen utensils and many other things. There was a cracker over two hundred years old. —Samuel H. Gross, in the New York Tribune. ‘ WHY INDEED? You marked up the price on the Christmas present you bought her.” "l did.”’ “Why did you do that?” “Because I knew the price would interest her more than anything else. Why should I deprive her of one iota of joy?’—Louisville Courier-Journal. THINK HARD It Pays to Think About Food. The unthinking life some people lead often causes trouble and sick ness, illustrated in the experience of a lady in Fond Du Lac, Wis. « About four years ago I suffered dreadfully from indigestion, always having eaten whatever I liked, not thinking of the digestible qualities. This indigestion caused palpitation of the heart so badly I conld not walk up a flight of stairs without sitting down once or twice o regain breath and strength. “] became alarmed and tried diet ing, were my clothes very loose, and many otner remedies, tut found no relief. “Hearing of the virtues of Grape- Nuts and Postum, I commenced using them in place of my usual breakfast of coffee, cakes, or hot biscuit, and in one week’s time I was relieved of sour stomach and other ills attending indigestion. In a month’s time my heart was performing its functions naturally, and I could climb stairs and hills and walk long distances. “] gained ten pounds in this short time, and my skin became-clear and I completely regained my health and strength. I continued to use Grape- Nuts and Postum, for I feel that I owe my good health endirely to their use. “There’s a Reason.” “1 like the delicious flavor of Grape-Nuts, and by making Postum accordinz to direction~ it tastes simi lar to mild high grade coffee.” Read “The Road to Wellville,” in pkgs. : ‘ Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full 3' AASRINGES &S U ® . f SERMON pY THE REV~ | [RAW- HENDERSP Theme: Regeneration, John 3: “Ye must be born again.” This is fundamental in the teaching of Jesus. It lles at the root of all Christian experience. It is.as true as it is terse, as philosophic as It is pungent, as timely as it Is insistent. No man can know the joy of the Christian life until he has been born anew, This statement of Jesus to Nicode mus was startling. It was both a challenge and a rebuke, a bit of sage counsel and a quiet though terrible arraignment, Nicodemus came in the name of the class whose representative his torically he has been and immediate ly he was. In their own eyes they held the essence of wisdom unto life eternal. “We know that Thou arta teacher come from God.” “We know.” In their opinion it was nec essary for all the world to become regenerated in the bonds of Judiasm before the world could enjoy a sav ing knowledge of the only true God. They were God's people, His chosen, the sons of Abraham. They were quite familiar with the idea of a new birth, for they declared that the world would have to be born to a knowledge of their spiritual posses sions before the world could possess the gift of the divine favor. No doubt Nicodemus thought he could instruct Christ. In all likeli hood he had little prescience of the reception he would receive. It is quite probable that he considered himself a fit challenger of Christ. Behold the challenged is the challen ger, the representative of the wisdom of Israel a pupil of a despised Naza rene. It is not to be wondered that Nicodemus was amazed. Jesus declared strong doctrine. “Ye must be born agamn.” “Ye,” the leaders and righteous of Israel! “Ye,” teachers and priests and pre lates, learned and intellectual, who have tithed mint and cummin and anise and forgotten the weightier matters of the law, “ye” must be born anew! If He had said that the Greeks and Romans, barbarians and foreigners, Gentiles, without the pale, had to be born again, there would have been no “How can tkese things be?” But “ye! » . And vet it was quite correct teach ing and most sublimated thought. As truly as it is necessary that a man must be born to enjoy the exercise of physical faculties in a physical world so truly is it requisite that in the world of the Spirit he shall undergo a process of spiritual borning. It is necessary that a man shall entey the world before he can experience the varied activities of physical life. He must become alive to the intellectual environment of humanity before he can have experience therein. Not otherwise is it with the world of the Spirit. We must be born. Born to another and a larger as a higher plane of living; born again. There is nothing permissive about it. %¥e "must.” 1t I 8 the law of the spiritual kingdom. It is the law of all life. If you are alive to one world and dead to the consciousness of another you “must” be born into it, into a consciousness of its reality, before you may enjoy its experiences, its prerogatives andits enlargements. What Jesus said to Nicodemus He says to the world to-day. It is the summons of God to the world. “Ye must be born again.” Born to the sense of a larger life. Born to the consciousness of a fuller and a bet ter life. Born to the spiritual life of God in Jesus Christ our Lord. Upon no other terms is it possible for men to enter the kingdom of God or to see it. And the wonder is that they so rebel. It is not an invitation or command to self destruction, but to a larger self realization. It is not a call to sin, but a promise of spirit ual growth. It is not irksome, but distinctly profitable. Humanity has nothing to lose and everything to gain. Regeneration is the need of this as of every time. Men never needed to be born anew more than they do to day. +Born to the better things, born to the larger world, born to the en joyment of the spiritual kingdom of the all-wise God. Beside the joy of the spiritual life the pleasures of the world are vain. The capacities of men are limited by the physical environment in which they live. Only in the world of the spirit can the faculties of man be ad equately exercised and his powers in finitely enlarged. But to know and to enjoy this kingdom and its life we must, as Nicodemus, be born anew. Being born into it we may live therein; a large life, a full and free and varied and soul-invigorating life. The life of God flooding and rejuvenating the life of man. God give us the desire for regeneration and the grace to willto be borz again. The Model Woman. A woman may be model, married or single, but not ideal. The ideal woman is the wife and mother.
