(Rergle. the IniTelder bought from Danville, has "flew the coop," or at least he did not arrive in Anderson with the team. It is said that he ac companied the team to the" depot In Winston on Saturday afternoon, but; when the train steamed out from the station, Reggie could not be found This youngster , never did like the trade made which transferred him to Anderson. He would not report for several days after the trade was con. summated. He did report however, for the Winston game on Saturday, and his playing was one of the fea- turea. Reggie belongs to Anderson ac cording to all the rules of the national association and he wlll either play wtth Anderson or In an outlaw league or not at 111.

It may weU be, as some one has said, there la In professional baseball a 30 per cent element of luck and In col legs baseball correct figure is near er 40 per cent. For ail that the Univer alty of Georgia men are the undoubt ed champlona of the season. Bome newspaper discussion has been going the rounds anent Tennessee's claims to this distinction, but I not only fall to see the force of Jier claJm ia the championahlp. but I am even blind to ber bid for second place. More of this anon. ;, -( v . ThA rauglng and ranking of college teams cannot be predicated on their percentage, as In a. leaarue. for no twe college teams play the same opponents. nor common opponents the same num ber of games, nor an even break of games at home and abroad and very aeldom. in fact the same total num ber ef gramees. 4B!ner then- no actual ranking is possible, some recourse must be had to theory and mere opin ion. From both points of View I have no hesitancy In declaring Georgia the champlona. Their percentage Is better than any other team's and to my eyes it looked better than any other team. It's team work was excellent its pitch Ing staff was very strong and Its work was high grade in all departments of the game fielding, batting ana base running. Moreover It had the hlgjest rj.Ar" " 1;v . Jrri.iL. r -A other this is more than can be said or; any other team In the association. Be- wanee and Trinity complain bitterly of Athens' umpires, but I am not a trl- ounai tor ine adjudication 01 . suca matters. It mlgh possibly be that Trln Ity could, have won the games had they been piayea under otner conditions. iAit I have seen both teams play, and. while Trinity had a very fine team, l thought Georgia had a shade on the Carolinians. On Tennessee I think they had more than a shade a shadow; and on Alabama they put a real gloom nosltlve blight. Georgia's inenas can honestly say she lost one game; her enemies will put It they won an but two and there you are. Anyway, lta better than anyone else haa done. and that settles It for this year, TRINITY DESERVES 1 SECOND PLACE. Alas, how soon are we forgotten! It astonishes me that some wno nave seen tle splendid Trinity team play could so soon forget how' they played and. In the end. Ignore them altogeth er without a single Inquiry as to what their record had been. Why, I consid er Georgia's double victory over them the brightest lewel in her crown. Ten nessee has a high percenters, nut on what kind of teams did she mass iti Trinity has" clayed real teams ths very realest schedule of games of any team In the association. Kenect a mo ment on Cornell. Lafayette. St John's, Colgate. Dartmouth. Clemson, Tech. Mercer and Georgia, Tennessee played Michigan. Vanderblit Tech.. sewanee and Cumberland the rest are nothing. For monumental difficulty all other schedules of the year sink Into Insig nificance, and yet Trinity won 18 of these games and lost but 4, and no oreD. victories are counted In. Tennes see has won 30, counting everything and lost S. I prefer Trinity's recora, and here again I have seen both teams Dlav. and I am entirely satis fled that Trinity piays oeiier nan. both team and Individual Next to Trinity Tech and Georgia nut through the hardest schedules. Al abama won all but her three games with Georgia, but 'that was the oniy really strong team she played, missi- slppi's entire record I am not familiar with, but' her remarkably successful trio through Tennessee would aione almost entitle her to rank with Ten nessee and Alabama. I know, however, that It was eminently, sucessful at home as. -well, and the Drury college team says theey were much the best team the Druryltea met all year. V SIX DIVISIONS. It will be noticed I have divided or grouped the colleges into six divis ions. I have thought ueorgia ana Trin ity clearly entitled to first and second, respectively and singly; but below their level the records are too jumb'ed and the playing too Indlstlngulshably even to permit of anything but gener al groupings. Auburn, Mercer, Vander blit and Tech had almost brand-new teams, and they all did very well In deed. They are too close together to permit of an attempt to rank them as comnard with each other, and ail are therefore considered to divide fourth group.. . . The Question has been asked wheth er teams (hat used throughout most of the season ineligible men ougnt to oe consldred and given rank when clear ly found to have such men on- their roster. One Of ths above teams, for In stance, had two such men on their line-up and another had three or four, all of whom wero removed from their reBDectlve teams, when dlscovera. nut. r Mitru. thev had heroed to win the games which had gone to we maaing of the team's records. They may have been "merely technically ineligible as several of them I am sure were, sun they were Ineligible and the work of the team. It has been argued, ought nn tn km pnntil. Well. . each may settle thai Question . for himself. II nur.lv rivn th reoorfls'ss they run RwarM. worrora. Mississippi, a. m M. &nd Clemson make the fifth group. They have had fairly good teams yet have been unfortunate . enougn u have lost most of them.' In the sixth group It has to os Boiea that Dahlonera. while defeated in her college games, had a "much stronger team than usual ana couia nave ucn a fair share of victories baa sne piay mA vnnr mm m ' Alabama holds tne cnampmnsnip 01 her Ktat for this year. Georgia carries ofr the nlum In the Cracker State, and the Knoxvllllani are best In Tennessee the State university carrying off the prize In each State. The same is true in Mississippi, where - the nnlversity wins the dsy. In South Carolina New berry, thoush not in the 8. L A. A.. claims the State championship. Desnlte the development of several very fine teams and a number of real ly high-grade players eouege piay ror the season has been decidedly erratic end. I should iiy, slightly below par. The first second snd third group teams have carried off a majority or their gamea while the fourth sroup is those who have shout held tnelr own with an even break. OUTSIDE THE ASSOCIATION. Virrlnla, North Carolina. A. A M. nd Wake Forert all had very -strong teams that would rartk well up with Georsrla and Trinity. The South West era Presbyterian University at CUu-ae- vine, Tenn-, made a magnificent rec ord for a email college as, in fact "he, usually aoes. Hers was the only team to take series from the University of Mississippi, and her crack slabman, Allen, has no college superior in the South. Martin In left field and Dickson on third were other brilliant players on the team. Davidson' College and Cumberland had fairly good . teams, with records that consign them about to the fourth S. I. A. A. Group. David son had hard luck with crippled play ers; but her brilliant pitchers, Barra and Clark.' pulled ber throurh. to creditable showing. Captain Sherrlll caught fine game ' throughout the season." . In South Carolina. Ersklne College did not win the State championship as last year, but made on the whole a satisfactory record. The university at Columbia, had a better team than us ual. " .. '. - - - - -. ... .. ..'; ' " h'U THE FRENCHMAN FLIES. Leon Deleg-range Makes a Successful r'... Cruise Witn His aeroplane.
