teams of the University of Georgia

THE coming Tech-Georgia games
J ought to he interesting beyond
the normal for one reason—the
teams are not as badly overbal
anced as usual in pitching strength.
College teams, and especially Tech
and Georgia, have in years passed
usually had pitchers that outclassed
the rest of the players. This meant
pitchers’ battles, with few hits, few
men on bases and quiet doings gen
erally. Old-timers recall the fa
mous duels between "King " Stilli- .
van and "Mikado" Lafitte, and the
pitching feats of Harry Harman,
"Rube" Redfearn and Frank Ander
son for Georgia, ami Erskine May
er. Kid Collier. Chip Robert and
Doe Wilson for Tech.
This year a combination of fate,
the S. 1 A. A. and the Georgia fac
ulty has remedied that condition.
Tech's famous streak of pitchers
has pinched out. They don't have
’em any more nt Tech. At the first
of each year now it is the custom
of t'oaeh Heisman to look over the
available material, grab three or
four husky chaps who aren’t par
ticularly needed elsewhere and tell
them: ''Now, you boys are the
pitchers this year."
Usually the boys will deny it ve
hemently.
Hut that doesn't get them any
thing.
"You are big. strong and other
wise useless to the team. Mr. Heis
man informs them. "Therefore, go
and learn to pitch."
Which they do.
At Georgia this year they had
two,of the most brilliant pitchers of
Southern college history. One was

Carl Thompson. The other was
Kid Wilder. Just how good they
are can be guessed from the fact
that Thompson will report to the
New York Americans after the sea
son is. over and Kid Wilder has
had a Brooklyn contract all but
shoved down his throat. The S I.
A. A. got to Wilder, on the charge
that he had played professional
hail. The Georgia faculty fixed
Carl Thompson for unexcused ab
sences.

HEALS
O. O. O. SORES AND ULCERS
S. S. S. heals Sores and Ulcers in the very simplest way. It just goes
right down into the blood and removes the cause, and the place is bound
to heal because the impurities and morbid matters which have been the
means of keeping the ulcer open are no longer absorbed from the blood.
External applications of salves, lotions, plasters, etc., can never produce a
cure because they do not reach the source of the trouble. At best they
can only allay pain or reduce inflammation; such treatment is working on
symptoms and not reaching the cause. Every nutritive corpuscle in the
blood is weakened or infected, they cannot nourish the fibrous tissue around
the place, but instead they constantly discharge into the flesh around the
sore a quantity of impure, germ-laden matter which gradually eats into the
surrounding healthy tissue and causes the ulcer to enlarge. Since impute
blood is responsible for Sores and Ulcers, a medicine that can purify the
blood is the only hope of a cure. S. S. S. has long been recognized as the
greatest of all blood purifiers, possessing the qualities necessary to remove
every impurity from the blood. While curing the sore or ulcer S. S. S.
brings about a healthy condition of the flesh by supplying it with rich,
tealtby blood, --.nd thus makes the cure permanent and lasting. Book or)

His brother, Homer, made a better
showing and was reinstated. But
Carl is said Io he out for the series.
So Tech and Georgia are both
without sensational pitchers Both
colleges have good enough men. but
their hurlers haven't anything bet
ter than an even break with the
batters, and it will be nip and tuck.
• • •
'T'HIS change in affairs probably
gives Tech a slight edge on the
series, but nothing notable. Both
clubs have made good showings
this year. The Red and Black team,
which played a tough schedule, won
12 games, tied two and lost four.
The Tech nine, which didn't take on
any cinches, lost but one series this
year, and that an inconclusive dou
ble-header to Vanderbilt.
The Georgians have the advan
tage in hatters. Bob McWhorter,
the sensational football and base
ball player; Hutcheson and Bow
den, of the Athens club, are all bat
ting over .300. For Tech only
.Harry Holland has topped those,
figures.
This advantage In batting held by
Georgia is likely to be evened up
by Tech's superiority in team play.
The Jackets have this year one of
the best teams that the South has
ever seen in the matter of team
play, and there are many profes
sional clubs which know less base
ball.
The game is utterly beyond dop
ing. So is the series. In years past
Tech has had all the luck. The
Tech games have always been jinx
affairs for Georgia. If the Athenians
had a twenty per cent advantage
they would dub it away. But lately
this condition has been remedied.
Both teams are in bitter earnest
about it. They will win if it Is
within the bounds of human possi
bility.
• • •
T'xEFEATING Tech will mean more
to f-'rank Anderson, the Geor
gia coach, than perhaps any man
in the world. And all because it
cost Coach Anderson his pitching
arm to beat Tech just one game.
It happened back in 1902. Ander
son was alternating in the box and
at second base for Georgia. In the
deciding game of the Tech-Georgia
series Georgia used Jack Bower,
known familiarly as "Right" Bower.
This chap showed good form until
the ninth inning. Then, with Geor
gia only two runs to the good. Bow
er blew and filled the bases with
nobody out. The Red and Black
didn't have another pitcher. An
derson had just pitched a game and
was in no shape. But somebody
had to stop Tech.
"Aw, well, i'll pitch.” said An
derson. “What's an arm—against
Tech?"
Into the box he went and it is
doubtful if tlte annals of Southern
baseball record such an inning of
pitching. He struck out three men
in succession, retired the side,
saved the game and the series.
But it killed his arm. He never
pitched again.

good hitter and has a wing that is hard
to beat.
FAX MONTAGUE—He hails from

ting and base running and his pegging
to bases keeps the runners glued to the
bags. Fax is playing his second year on
the team.
“SHAG” HUBERT—He came from
Augusta High school, this year making
his fourth on the Tech squad. "Shag"
has risen from a mediocre twirler to

tacular first baseman and is an Atlanta
boy. He has starred in the past for the
Boys High school. This is his first year

bat, his work at the initial cushion is
little short of miraculous.
PITCHER EUBANKS—This man Is
the Jackets’ second hurler. He came
here from K. M. I. and has the goods.
If he is right it will take some team to
beat him. This is his first year at Tech.
GEORGIA.
TIMON BOWDEN—Catcher. He is
playing his second year on the Geor
gia team, holding down first base last,

three years. Also one of the best men
on the football team. Is a steady,
consistent catcher and hitter, but only
fair on the bases. His home Is at
Locust Grove.

in nicely on first. This is his second

a sub catcher on the 'O9 team. He

a position that is strange to him. Lead
ing the team in extra base hits

second baseman and pitcher. Probably
the most popular player on the team.

is at Statesboro, where he is the town's
most famous citizen. Is a good bat
ter and fielder. Member.of the senior
class.
HOMER THOMPSON—Shortstop.

short this year, thus breaking up the
famous Thompson brothers battery.

is at Spring City. Tenn. I B a poor
batter, but a brilliant fielder, and one
of the best men on the team on the
bases.

Fort Valley. Second year in college,
but first on the team, he having been
a prominent member of the scrubs last
year. Is the smallest man on the team.
Fast and a good fielder, but only a
fair batter.
JULIAN ERWIN Sub second base
man. Captain Brannen's understudy,
is only a freshman, having been cap
tain and a star of the Athens High
school team last year. Good fielder and
good batter. His home is in Athens.
LEON COVINGTON—Third base.
Senior and is the "dark horse" of the
team. Has been in college four years,
but only this year showed sufficient
baseball merit to win him a place on
any team. Lives at Cartersville. He

the past two years, and was the un
successful candidate for captain last
