NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
By p£rCY H. WHITING.
After positively heroic efforts It has been definitely learned that one
representative of the Atlanta Baseball Club, J. W. Hefsman, was given one
office by the Southern League at Its Nashville meeting this week.
As at first reported he was named as one of the trustees, an office
of small honor and less power.
Out of the six offices In the league worth having the western clubs
were given four and the eastern clubs two.
And of these two the best town In the east, Atlanta, got neither.
It seems very evident that Bill Smith picked up a good man In Dick
Rohn, whom he has Just purchased from Peoria of the Three-I League.
During the six years In which Rohn's name appears In our record
book he has never batted under .250 and has never but once failed to
lead his league In fielding. The one time he failed he was a good second*
among the regulars.
Here Is the dope on Rohn:
1908—Peoria, Three-I League, batted .275, fielded .990—led league In
fielding. ,
1907—Joplin, Western Association, batted .288, fielded 987—second
' among regulars In fielding.
1906—Webb City, Western Association, batted .252, fielded .980—led
league first basemen.
1905—Scdaila, Western Association, batted .270, fielded .978—led all the
regular first basemen at fielding.
1904—Sedalla, Western Association, hatting average not available,
fielded .987—led league Drat basemen at fielding.
1903—Sedalla, Missouri Valley League, batted .301, fielded .983—led all
first • basemen at fielding.
That Is' something of a record, all right.
Any man who can lead the regular first basemen In fielding every
year for six years save only once, and bat up near the top Is a pretty
good first baseman.
Rohn, by the way, has always fielded better than Tom Tennant, the
first baseman that Smith lost to the White Sox. Last year Rohn made
only 14 errors during the season, while Tennant was guilty of 45.

Tigers Hope For Big Things
During Next Football Season
CLEM80N, 8. C., Dec. 17.—On
Thanksgiving Day Clemson closed an
unsuccessful football season. Judged by
victories. If all the handicaps the
team labored under arc taken Into con
sideration, however, the season was
fairly successful.
Clemson lost, on April last, Allen,
who was captain-elect; Britt, Clarke,
McLaurln nnd others. "Doc” McFnd-
den and Wyndham were suspended nnd
failed to return to college. Qaston,
who had been classed as all-Southern
guard, left college of his own accord.
If all these men had returned, Clem-
ton should have ranked not lower than
second place this year.
Ctemeon had to start the season In a
hopeless condition, so far at the win
ning of games Is concerned.
The. season of 1909 should be a bet
ter one. Clemson will have eight of
this year's 'vifralty back next fall, and
It Is certain that the teams that re
garded Clemson as a practice aggrega
tion this year will find a totally dif
ferent proposition Ip the 1909 season.
Captain Coles and the two guards.
Odom nnd Fleming, will be lost next
year thru graduation. These are
among the very beet of the Tigers, but
their places can be filled.
Wlckman can easily take Odom'a
■lace. White can run the team at quar
ter or take an end, while Walker,
Hanckle, Stevens and Woodward have
all showed that they are 'varsity cali
ber.
Connelly, as scrub quarter, has
learned to general a team well. Boy
kin has proved that he can piny either
fullback, halfback or In the line, and
give a good nccount of himself.
Evidently the next season will show
a better record than the following
chatk-up for 1908:
Clemson. Opponents.
15.... .. .. Gordon 0
0 V. P. l 6 ,
0.. .. ...Vanderbilt 41
0 Davidson.. ., ..11
0 Georgia 1
•Tennessee
. ..Tech..
36
..10
104
This Is not an especially good record
If Judged by ordinary conditions but
no one can deny that It la a fairly good
ahoalng for a new team.
In the game with Gordon, which was
Intended as a practice game, Clemson
showed up well tho she was outweighed
by 6 or 7 pounds to the man. 8o well
did the players acquit themselves that
many hoped to see the Tigers win sev
eral games, but, when seasoned teams
were met, the Inexperienced of the
Clemson players was clearly shown and
worked havoc with high hopes.
In the gnine with tho V. P. I., one
of the strongest teams In the South.
Clemson showed up unexpectedly well
In defensive playing, hut was woefully
Ineffective In offensive work. In this
gnme Clemson had the ball within six
Inches of the goal line, hut could not
gain an Inch In three plays.
The Vanderbilt game wns the first
shock that Clemson met. "Stein"
Stone's old team was recognised as the
best In the South, but wns thought to
be a little weaker than last year.
Clemson hoped to kpep the score down,
but failed, .
Clemson hoped strongly to tie or
defeat .Davidson In Columbia., Neither
team scored In (he first half, and the
odds were even In the second half up
to within ten minutes of the close. Then
Robbs nnd White had to leave the gnme
at the same time. - Subs were sent In.
hut n team nlwnya loses spirit when Its
strongest players are taken out. Under
usual conditions the game would likely
have been a tie.
In the game against the University
of Georgia, In Augusta, Clemson again
put up a fairly good defensive game
and forced the Athena boys to kick fre
quently. The Tigers saved their, goal
line, but Georgia kicked two field go
On offensive work, however, the Tigers
were again weak. Robbs was also out
of this game.
In the game against Tennessee Clem-
son made the best showing of the sea-
son. Tennessee had loomed up as i
probable 8. I. A. A. champion, but the
tame reeulted In what many regarded
as practically a tie. Robbs and Coles,
Clemson's two best players, were both
out of thle game.
The last game against Georgia Tech
was the one that Clemson had moat de
sired to win. The fact that the Tigers
had defeated the Yellow Jackets for
consecutive seasons, despite thr
dope to the contrary, had made Clem-
son hopeful.
No excuse Is offered In this contest
Clemson was outclassed, and Tech won
a deserved victory.
Clemson will lose Coles, Odom and
Fleming In the spring, but will havo
eight of this year's 'Varsity to return
next fall. Clemson will be In the run
ning next season beyond all doubt.
Robba, the bl* fullback, haa been
elected captain.

HUGH CHALMERS.
This Is the tnnn who passed up
a salary of $72,000 to go In business
for himself. * „ '
When we hear of a man commanding n
salary of $72,000 n year w
of nn elderly person with _
the f^ont office of iln Insurance fconipnny, or
the president's room at n bank, adfm Ilumnn
Life.
It comes with surprise, amounting nlmost
to a shock, to find n young nmn of 34 who
could drW that salary, conhl organize
worldwide business, jnanngo n $10,000,000
corporation nnd then give It nil up to go
"Intb business for himself."
Hugh Chalmers, the man who did nil this.
Is prealdeut of the Chnlmera-Detrolt Motor
In tb‘
he wi
tlonnl Cash Register Company” He entered
the employ of that corporation aa office
boy; be left It as vice president and general
pi* linger,
of a cnah register. Thnt wna the start.
Nobody (rang the recall bell nnd he went
right on. At eighteen he wna an office man
ager; at twenty-one a snlea ngent -with nn
exclusive territory of his own. Four years
Inter he wns district malinger for Ohio
with twenty-four sales ngentn nnd aalea-

called Into the factory to liecome assistant
manager of agencies. At twenty-seven he
wu* manager of agencies, then nsstetun*
general manager, then general manager am

It waa a big Job that this "youngster
had nsenraed. and It took a big man to till
It. There wss a plant with 6.000 employees
to manage, a selling force dn America of
476 men to direct*liraneh companion In for-
elgu countries to organise nnd oversee, com
petition to meet and subdue at home nnd
abroad. Bnt Chalmers took tu Increased
responsibility ns n duck takes to water.
With unerring Judgment of men. he bnllt np
around him an organisation of vouug. en
thusiastic. forceful lieutenants. He Inspired
them with loyalty. He made his personality
an asset of the Imslueea.
Bnt a time came In Hugh Chalmers' life
when he wanted n business of his own.
lie tlnnllr decided to enter the automo
bile business. With hie usual keenness of
analysts, be naked himself, "What Is the
most Important problem In the automobile

"Heretofore automobiles have been bonght;
now they mu*t l*c sold. Production haa
