MR. CARL SLOAN IS
TECH'S “CAP CARL”
Popular and Talented McDon
ough Boy Elected Leader of
Base-ball Team.
We copy the following article
concerning Mr. Carl Sloan from a
recent issue of The Technique, the
weekly periodical pubiisued by
the students of the Georgia School
of Technology.
McDonough is proud of Carl, as
he uas broken many records in his
college career, both in scholarship
and in athletics.
The article is given below:
“At last the Gordion knot has
been untied, giving the election of
baseball Captain t o Carl Sloan,
Tech’s All-Southern guardian of
the center lot. For the past
month, this position has been
hanging in the balance between
Sloan . n 1 TL rry Holland, who, had
he been elected, would h ive filled
the shoes for the third consecutive
time. But “Cap” Holland was not
greedy, he gracefully submitted to
the star outfielder. We do not
know what finally decided the
election since it has been a matter
of debate as to whether the 1911
squad or the Athletic Advisory
Board should settle the matter.
However that may be, Sloan is
now our new captain, thus The
Technique takes this .opportunity
in behalf of the student body to
extend him hearty congratulations,
likewise to thank Holland for his
valuable services for tne past two
seasons.
“ ‘Cap Carl’ (we will dub him
that until more correctly informed)
began his career on the diamond
in the back lots of McDonough.
Georgia, his present home. We
know very little of his deeds of
valor there, exc jpt that th y pave i
the way for him in his more balmy
prep school days at Stone Moun
tain. He scrubbed it a year or
more with the Mountaineers, when
finally, during the oasebail season
of his last year among the preps,
Sandy Beaver took him carefully
under his wing and stationed him
on third base. This team on which
he was playing in 1908 won the
championship of the state in prep
circles, no little credit going to
Sloan. It will be remembered
that this team handed Tech a s weet,
juicy grapefruit in the way of a 1
to 0 score, in a twelve-inning game
and it was this same Sloan who
stole home under Corliss Buchan
an’s very nose, giving the Moun
tain Boys a hard earned victory.
“When ‘Cap Carl’ came to lech
he tried out for third base in his
Freshman year, but, jumping
straight into college ball, he did
not shine so well to begin with, so
i was that during this year he
played very little; next appear
ance the following season we saw
something o t the real ‘come
hack’. Stationed in the outf:eld,
he jumped from among the ‘oacK
numbers, to the ‘headliners’ class
and has been coming stronger
even year 1 .
“Sloan is said to be the fastest
center fielder in Southern College
ball. Anything in the way of a
fly ball may as weii head for a tar
bucket. He is as lightning
on his feet, has a ‘salary whip’
that either holds them on third or
sets them on the bench, and hits
past the 300 mark. He is popular
among his team mates, a steady
worker during practice, and in
every way fit to do justice to the
honor given him.

WcDONOUGh, GEORGIA, FRIDAY FI BI IL RY 9, 1912.
MR. J. R. ROBINSON
IS CALLED HOME.
One of Town and County's Fin
est Characters Completes Its
Earthly Growth.
Mr. James R. Robinson passed
away on Thurs lay morning of last
week at 10 o’clock at the home of
Mr. W. F, Hand in this city.
“Uncle Jimmie”, as everybody
knew him, had been in feeble
health a long time and gradually
lost strength, so that the end was
expected for several days.
Mr. Robinson was one of the
finest examples of genuine, unob
trusive Christian manhood that
we have ever observed. His
silence was a part of his noble
character. There is hardly a man
in McDonough of middle life who
cannot and does not recall some
deed which illustrates how just
and even generous he always was
in his personal and business deal
ings with his fellows. None sur
passed him for real integrity and
yet it was not on parade, but
rather hidden behind the quiet
yet gentle demeanor of its posses
sor.
He was 71 years of age and had
outlived all the members of his
immediate family, except his sis
ter, Mrs. Fa n Gordon, who sur
vives him. A large number of
nieces and nephews survive him,
among whom are Mrs. W. F.
Hand and Mrs. A. F. Bunn, of
McDonough; and Mrs. B. W.
Moseley and Mrs. J. W. Weems
and Mr. Henry Foster, of this
county.
The funeral was held at Mr. W.
F. Hand’s residence Friday morn
ing at 10 o’clock and the inter
ment was in the McDonough
Cemetery. The Rev. J. A. Simp
son conducted the services.
Powell's Pressing Club Moved.
I wish to announce to my white
friends that I have moved my
pressing club into the building
formerly occupied by the Henry
County Weekly, just in the rear
of the Weekly’s present location.
I appreciate the patronage given
me in the past and solicit a con
tinuance and an increase of same,
promising always first class work.
Yours Respectfully,
J. P. Powell.
