ATLANTA GEORGIAN, THURSDAY OCTOBER, AMERICA’S BEST GOLFER LANDED BY LOCAL CLUB Alexander Smith. America's greate*t golfer, has been secured to act as pro fessional for the Atlanta Athletic Club during the winter and early spring. The deal with Smith wi% closed Wednesday by wire, and the new Instructor will be in Atlanta In a few days. The fact that Smith has been secured to set as professional at the local golf club la an achievement am a par with that of se curing the beat golf course In the South. As a player, Alex Smith has no equal In America today, and not over a half doaen In the world. What he has done to the foremost professional and nmateurs of the country this year has been some thing sorrowful for the rest of the players to contemplate. He won the Western Open championship with all ease, and then con clusively proved his supremacy by captur ing tne Open Championship of America, In which event he met the best professionals and amateur* in the country. As n player, therefore. Smith can ta defended upon to uphold the honors for the Gate City. As an Instructor. Smith Is said to rank alongside of the beat of them. So highly were bla view* regarded that Golf, the •greatest of the magazines devoted to the game In this country, accused hlui to write a series of articles, which will afterwards appear In book ^ortn, giving hla views on bow to learn to play the game. Wbnt Smith can do for the golfers of Atinuta by his piny and teaching la hard to estimate. Just at present, only four or live Atlanta golfers would l>e able to bold their own with the beat men In the South, and not over one or two men In the club would, at the present time, have nny chance for the Southern championship. What they will be able to do after Smith gets through with them will l»e n question easily answered by waiting until the end of the tournament next Jane oat at Bast Lake. Smith's services In preparing the better I»lavers of the club for this event will be Invaluable, but what he will do for the be gtnnera la worth thinking about. Every thing of success In golf comes from start lug right, and Smith will spend the win ter In teaching the new players how to start. Smith bos a wide knowledge of courses and hi a advice will be of value In getting the local course ready tor' the champion ship uext spring. Among the chief advantages of having Smith as the locnl “pro" will be the prestige added to the coarse by the fact Uftt America's greatest golfer will have It In charge during the winter. A score or two of professional golfers. Including some of the best In America, ap plied for the Job a« professional at East take, and the Atlanta Athletic Club was fortunate lu securing the taut In the lot. Play Handicap Tournament At East Lake on Saturday -v The firm handicap tournament < played over the new golf courae of the Atlanta Athletic club at Kait Lake Will take place Saturday. It will be at medal play, eighteen hole, and four handaome prim will be offered. The uaual entry fee will be charged. „ The first prize will be a handsome caddy bag and the others will be val uable merchandise prises. The task of dealing out a new bunch of handicaps has been turned over to n committee composed of Byrd, Tlchenor and one other man yet to be named. Mr. Byrd Is the expert on the old players, Mr. Tlchenor on the new ones and these two, with the third man yet to be elected, will have the task of re-* lectlng equitable handicaps for the large bunch of players in the club. A field of at least 35 players la look ed for. A handicap tournament draws better than any other kind because it puts all golfers on a par—provided the handicapping Is right—and It Is as In teresting for the duffers as for the good p,'avers. Already the entry list Is well filled and It Is probable that tho largest Held of the year will face the starter. Entries are to be paid as the players start. The start may be made any time between sunrise and sunset. It was thought at first that the event would be restricted to the afternoon, but an many of the golfers will go out to sec the Tech football game In the afternoon the affair was opened up and will run all day. Probably quite a number of players will start In • the morning and finish up In time to see the kick-ofi of the Tech-Davldaon game. rjr AL ORTH BEST OF THE YANKEES Albert Ortb, be of the famous smile and a lesa famous but highly effective “spit" ball delivery, not only has l>e*n the most consistent winner for the Yankees against nil comers this season, but be remained ef fective to tho finish, ns his great work In the Chicago games attested. “The apltball has proved a boomerang for a number of pitchers who were good without It,” remarked Clprk Griffith not long ago, “hut It hoa brought Orth up among the stara once more. Ue has mas tered this delivery, which Is rapidly full ing Into general disuse, more completely thnn any other pitcher In the American League. He pitches easily, hut he baa ex cellent control of the wet ball." Even without the “spltter," Orth Is n great pitcher, for years of experience have made him u wily boxmnn, and his knowl edge of the butters Is such that he seldom Is hit hard. Not only Is he a good pitch er, but he Is s good hall player anywhere. He call play the outfield and Is a good hotter. In games bo pitches he Is never retired to allow another man to hut In his place, for he ranks ns the best hitting pitcher In the league. He %vou n game for Xt*w York toward tho end of the season with a bit when the buses were full and two nieu out In the ninth Inning. I'revlous to that, he had rescued Cheshro and stopped a Chicago rally. He went In again Hntur- day and gave n splendid n«*count of him self until his nriu suddenly fulled him. Orth l>4knn ns a pitcher lu the old Indiana State Isoagctc. He broke Into the National Lengoe with the old Philadelphia club, which then Included Lnjole and Ed Delehanty. He remalued several seasons with the Phillies, always pitching food hall. When the Amerlcnii League expand ed and annexed Washington lu 1901. Ortb cast his lot with the Henators. Though pitching for a tall under, he did good work, hut was considered onjy au ordinary pitcher, until he was traded to New York In 1904 for Tout Hughes sud Hilly Wolfe. Hluec then he has become an exponent of the “damp fllvory," and hns hud much success with It. Had the Ynnkeoa accorded Ortb all the support he deserved he would have a much better record than the figures now give him. lie has uot pitched a bad gnino this season, and hns lost quits a number of hard luck games.

As nn emergency stub artist, Orth has been of great value to the Yankees this season.

Thomas could And an opening for a knockout punch. Fitzpatrick made, money for his friends and presumably for himself by remaining on deck until-the fifteenth round was passed. -The betting that Thomas would wit, within fifteen rounds was at eyen money, white the wagering on general results tfas at 10 to 3, with Thomas on the long end. The Fitzpatrick crowd knowing of Dick’s staylng.quulltles, liked the round betting proposition better than the straight-out Investment, and pocket ed a lot of coin over Thomas' failure to down the Chicagoan within the slip, ulared time. When the sixteenth . round began Fitzpatrick did not cover up as care- fully as he did In the preceding round*. Perhaps he thought after landing the fifteen round mbney that he could af ford to take a chance and mix It more freely. Anyhow, he left openings and Thomas took advantage of them.

When he arose a right hand punch on the jaw sent him down again, and before he could be courted out officially hla seconds tossed up a damp towel in acknowledgment of defeat.

The men were boxing in furious fashion when, with out warning, some one turned down the sunlight for Murphy. It was some thing In the nature of a straight left that did the trick.

Ex-Coach DuPree linn gone home. The game was too strenuous for him The Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Ae>ocia’lon shot the team nil to pieces by declaring Its players Ineligible and the Michigan man gave it up in dis gust. compelled to run to the right, and why should the shortstop be' placed between second and third Lp atop hits by right handers? "It le /i big handicap," argues ,Me (Ilnnlty, -for a right-hand batter , to run to - first base, and It WBdld-lie equally hard for a left-hander to run toward third." "Therefore," chimes In Elberfeld, “the batter who comes up first. In an Inning should have the choice.of running eith er way". As both Elberfeld and McGInnlty argue. It would certainly Increase- the science of the game, as the first base- man would have to be able to play third and vice-versa, with the third-base- man. For a while the bunters would have a picnic, as the third and first basemen would be plizzled as to which should play In close, and the second bafeman and shortstop wouldn't know which should be ready to covet; third or first bag when the third nr first baseman went In to field the ball. Now, wouldn't I that be a pretty mix-up? < Another advantage In this new game, Elberfeld maintains, would’Be the ef fect It would have on' the crowd If the game was. close.- . The -fan would be In. a continuous slate of anxiety trying to figure out which'way the batter would run. McGInnlty says, he has tried It. and It rnn only causes.amusemeilt, but a lot of excitement: The Iron Man, by the way, has been engaged by Prlpceton to coach the new pitchers dawn there this fall and next spring. As all of thq.regular Tiger pitchers graduate this year, Joe Is having a hard time picking out a youngster. His main trouble. Is getting a man with sufficient weight and strength to make him speedy. Most of the candidates, he says, are too small. In the meantime, Elberfeld Is anx iously awaiting a' trfitl of the pro posed game of reformed baseball.
