FOR STONE
/^Tige” was pitching his last
game for his Alma Mater nfter u
career of four years, and. thoughl
defeated, he wound up his career
as a college chunker In a most
glorious fashion.
He held his opponents to six hit*
and whiffed twelvo of them and he
did not walk a slnglo man. Up
until the eighth inning only one
man. Pop Hamsey who singled In
the second inning, hsd reached
first on him. In the eighth, how-
e ver, he weakened for a moment
artd the Bulldogs bunched two hit*
with an error and scored the two
rims which tied the count, Mercer
having tallied one run In each the
J ond and third Innings. And the
hth Inning proved his downfall,
• of the visitors six hits coming
aner the seventh Inning.
"mge pitched • great game oi
hall, no one will deny that fact,
lie pitched one which will long be.
remembered in the annals of Mer
cer baseball history. He had ev
erything a pitcher can poasibiy hay*
on the ball. In nine out of the
twelve lnnlnge he retired the Bull
dogs in ordsr.
.Andy Chambers, Georgiae etel-
Inr moundsman, was In the best
8rm of the year, surrendering only
three hits and striking out ten men
lie gave up two hlta in the second
Inning, one In the third, and then
fetched no hit ball during the re
maining nine Innings. In other
words with the first three Innlngr
thrown out, Andy pitched a no-
hlt game. Andy also starred at
the bat, driving In the, two tying
runs In the eighth.-
The Baptists shoved their flret

inning. After Harper bad died an
Infield death Ellison and-,Wilkes
Singled In succession. Ellison
Ibored when Josh Watson errored
on Morgan's slow roller to second-
Josh Cody's warriors tallied their

1 Picking an all (Southern baseball
'team-at this season of the year is
now the favorite pastime of the
Sporting Editors. They really do
no harm, and on thc other hanl,
help to fill in space on the snorting
sheet, causing heated t arguments
nnd affords the writers making the
selection an. opportunity to dis
play their ignorance. The writers
Idom see nil the players in ac
tion and their picks are coptrclled
in no small measure by the num
ber of press agents each player has
pulling for him.
In picking an all Southern team
this year we are only choosing from
colleges In the S. Ii C. and 8 .1. A.
A. divisions. Trinity has one of
initial hassock we have seen, which.south that are outstanding play

Ed Shirling of Auburn finisher
his four years of college ball this
season. He has always been e

NEW POLO FIELD
IB
Major Burch Believes He
, Has Found a Good Place
•Just Beyond Hospital.
Develop Sport.
By 8AM 8IMONWITZ
Maj. Burch of the military de
partment has located a place that
he states vroul(^ bo nn Ideal place
for a polo ground.
The field Is 900 by 300 feet just
beyond the General hoapltal. Thlr
ground hns all the necessities of
a good polo ground Including a
good drainage. All that Is noy
needed is money to begin work on
the new polo grounds. An appeal
has been made to th4 athletic as
soclatlon of the- university o
Georgia for thla money.
A field was started last year
down at Bantord dell, but could not
be used as, the drainage was too
bad. This ground has been turned
Into a parking ground.
For three years MaJ. Burch has
been trying to get the people of
Athens and students of the Uni
versity Interested In a field of this
kind. With the assistance of Capt,
Gerfon It will be an easy task for
Georgia to have a polo team that
wquld be a big credit to the Uni
versity and people ot Athens.
The nearat polo field In this
section of the country is looked
at Aiken, 8. C., and is privately
owned.
Polo la coming to the front in
nttUetlcs more each year. Recent
ly In New York City a polo match
waa held between 1C leading col-
lncludlng Yale, Harvard. Co
lumbia. West Point, and othsrs.
Thla is just one example of the In
terest that i far now being taken In
polo. Georgia' has all the neces
sities that are required to have a
good polo ground. Maj. Burch is
very anxious to see the University
and people of Athens get interested
Id polo. He wants the help ot nil
students and residents ot Athens.

College basekall in thc south
was not as fast this year as In the

Mrs. A. H. Davison, who hns one

Many rare aiu! beautiful flowers
Mrs. Davison has collected.
For Captain ot this year’s mythi
cal team we place Josh Wntson nt
second. Josh Is about na fast aa
most second basemen with the ex
ception probably of Denfcke
Tech, and, in addition,* ha* the
knack of always "playing” the bat
ter right at the spot where he hits.
He is hitting 300 and his wide
knowledge of the game make* him
the Ideal leader for this year’s se
lection.
Denicke 9f Tech, and Brown of
Vandy are the othOr outstanding
stars of the Keystone station.
center we place "Padre”
Clarke. Clarke Is as 'good aa ever
and os he was placed on most all
Southern selections last year, he
should be the unanimous choce ibis
aeon.
Putting J. D. Thomason on first
In preference of McCullough of
Vandy or Rosenfelt of Alabama will
naturally cause some dissentlon
among the ranks of the wiseacres
found out In the bleachers. All will
put him in the line up somewhere,
but a majority will probably put
him In his old stamping ground In
right field. However, he is about
the smoothest article around the
the outer gardens that will be hard
to bent.
Palmaslno of Tech gets th«
mtcjilns assignment The little
fellow ha* been a thorn In the side
of every pitcher he has fac*».i this
season hitting high clas and medio-
crl pitching alike. He has a great
throwing amv nnd Is exceptionally
fast for a catcher. Qlbson ot Au
burn, his nearest competitor, ha*
probably a little better "head", but
Palmlsino’s great batting togethei
with the fact that on this team the
pinchers don’t need an old timer to
steady tnem gives to him the place.
Power ' of Georgia ranks third
nmon£ the Southern catchers this
year. He is one of the hardest
workers on the team and has done
much toward helping his team win
the championship oLthe 8. I. C.
What pitcher better than Stone,
Sale, Chambers, nnd Allison dp we
need to round out a great team?
Tigo la os good as ever which Is
quite enough. Sale will be remem
bered for his wonderful feat of a
perfect game against Vlrglnii
when the fact of any pitcher be
ing selected on nn nil-southern pick
will lie forgotten; Chambers Is one
of the best ptchers Georgia ever
hAd.—which takes in some little
geography; nnd Allison, a gobd I*dt
hander, completes the pitching ros
ter.
For Utility we have selected Mc
Cullough. Vanderbilt's hard hitting
first baseman. ’’Mack’’ is not only
n good first baseman, but he Is at-
« fairly good outfielder and can
pitch n game occasionally.

Third is a hard position to pick.
Woodruff of Vandy and Middle-
