ATLANTA TEAM MAY
TRAIN AT ALBANY
-
ALBANY, Sept. 30.—Atlanta’s
club in the Southern League may
train in Albany next spring.
President R. J. Spillers, of the 1
Crackerfe, was in Albany yesterday]
looking oyer the situation with al
view to bringing his 1922 baseball |
gladiators here if things are favor
able.
Mr. Spillers declared frankly that
he proposed to visit a number of
Georgia cities and that he would take
his team to the city for training that
offers the best proposition, other i
things being equal. He came here!
from Columbus, and will visit Vai I
dosta, Waycross and other cities be
fore going back to the Gate City.
The Crackers have trained at Bay
St. Louis, Miss., for the past several
years, but Mr. Spillers, who has re
cently acquired a controlling inter
est in the club, is anxious to get a
spring camp in his own state. “I am
a Georgian myself,” said Mr. Spil
lers, “we get our money from Geor-I
gia people, and I would like to spend
it with Georgia people.”
REUNITED TRIO
‘MADE’ GIANTS
McGraw, Jennings And Burkett
Brought Them Through To
Pennant
NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-—Reunited
after many years of glory and strife
on the diamond a great trio of base
ball players has brought) the New
‘ York Giants through this season’s
battles for the pennant. John Mc
| Graw, Hughey Jennings, Jesse Bur
| kett—the names of all three are writ
ten at the top of the list of baseball’:
heroes.
McGraw is finishing his 20th year
as manager of the New Yorks and in
this year has had as first assistant
Jennings, his old team mate on the
old team of Orioles of Baltimore and
Burkett as the second deputy. Tin
individual records of this trio at bat
and afield stands out among the
greatest in the history of the game
Burkett has never had the good
] fortune to manage a maior league
pennant winner, but McGraw has
piloted the Giants to a goodly string
of flags and Jennings won three pen
nants with the Tigers.
, McGraw was a third basemao, first
I with the great Baltimore club and
i then with St. LcnU and when he
landed in New York be retired ;< a>-

I the foremost in rhe annals of tb<
-’ante. .Tcnnirt n -s was n shor*sloe
I first with Lovi:-v ; ’ln, then with B il
' timorc and finally! will; Brooklyn
His work as manager in Detroit came
to a close wi'b the. season of 1920.
Burkett came to the Giants in 1890
as a pitcher but was converted into
an outfielder because he could not
control his lef' handed shoots. And
as an outfielder with New York
Cleveland am; St. Louis, Burkett
made history a., one of the most abk
batsmen in the game.
The batting records of McGraw,
Jennings and Burkett combined, rep
resent 27 years of hitting over the
300 mark in the big show. Burkett
batted better than .300 for 11 years,
McGraw for nine and Jennings for
seven. Burkett was the mightiest of
the trio and in 1895 he batted .423
—a marl, second otily to Hughey
Duffev's .438 of 1894. '
McGraw’s top average w;v: .390, in
1899, the year that Ed Delehanty fi
nally succeeded in his long effort to
go over the .400 mark with an aver
age of .408. Jennings did bis best
work with the bat in 1896, when he
hit .397. Titans three, indeed!
Burkett went, to Cleveland in 1892
and saw his club beaten for the Na
tional League pennant by Boston. It
was not until 1895 that Burkett was
arrayed against both McGraw and
Jennings, in the ’temple Cup Series.
With Burkett plaving a heroic role
with the bat, the Spiders took the
measure of the pennant winning Ori
oles that fall. Cleveland won foot
games and Baltimore only one. In
1896 it was Baltimore against Cleve
land again for the Temple Cun and
once more it was McGraw and Jen
nines against Burkett.
This time the Orioles cleaned uti
without losing a game. They took
four straight, finishing ’(be series
with a 5 to 0 shutout on the ground:
of the Spiders. Baltimore was in the
series again in 1897 but Cleveland
had dronned back and Boston fought
the Orioles for the old trophy. The
Orioles won that final competition
for the Temple Cup.

Get Those Tap Rooted Stumps Out!
with the Cowan Alford Boring Machine and
<p®>
Red Cross Extra 40% Dynamite
EXPERIENCE in blasting tap-rooted stumps has
' proved that the holes must be bored as nearly par
allel with the tap-root as possible. A power boring ma
chine or power auger will do this work quickest and has
proved most economical when a great number of large
stumps are to be blasted.
When loading, tamp the charge firmly using moist
earth. The stump will then come out in easily handled
pieces for burning or the distillation “hogs.” Loose
tamping will spoil the “shot.”
Du Pont Red Cross Dynamite is the explosive generally
used because it can be depended upon to give uniformly
effective results at a low cost. Buy it from our local
dealer.
Every farmer should have a copy of our “Handbook of
Explosives.” It explains the best methods for using
dynamite to clear land, dig ditches and plant trees. Send
