McWhorter diamond boss PEACOCK GRIDIRON CAPTAIN ATHENS, GA., May 23.—80 b Mc- Whorter. the best athlete who ever played at Georgia and an all-South ern man in baseball and football, has been elected captain of the Georgia baseball team. It was a close race be tween McWhorter and Homer Thomp son. the catcher-shortstop. Hal Hutchens, the catcher-first base man. was elected alternate captain on the fourth ballot, after a hot race. The reports emanating from Atlanta that McWhorter was captain of both baseball and football teams is a joke. Peacock, a guard, was elected over "Hob McWhorter last fall and will serve this year. It would have been out of the question for McWhorter to hold both captaincies, as such a thing is against the rules of the athletic association. McWhorter will doubtless get the foot ball captaincy before his college ca reer ends. CHICAGO CLUB RAISES SI,OOO FOR OLYMPIC MEN CHICAGO, May 23. President t’lta-.

After H brief and stormy careel. the new United States league of baseball clubs Is re ported to be perilously near the rocks. A break has be‘*n expected at Cleveland for some time and today word was re ceived from that city that the Forest city Ball and Amusement Company had surrendered its franchise. THF. ATLAXTA <eopgia:N AXT> XF.WS- THURSDAY. MAY 23. 1912. With Johns Going Great Guns Crackers “Romp” East’s Hits and Alperman’s Runs Decide Game By Percy H. Whiting. That a pitcher Isn't the whole defensive strength of a ball club was demonstrated in Tuesday’s game when, despite he roic pitching by Tommy Atkins, his teammates errored the game away. But that the pitcher is a tre mendously important part of the team’s defensive strength was shown with equal brilliancy and a much more satisfactory score (to wit: Atlanta 3, Mobile 1) in yes terday’s game. For Harry Johns just naturally refused to let the Crackers lose it, though they made several passes in that direction. Centerfielder Maloney, the first man who faced Johns in the first inning, was safe on a hit. Then came an error on the next ball hit and Maloney went on to third. The next play was a sacrifice fly and Maloney scored If it had not been for the error Maloney would never have passed first base. For after the fly-out the next two men were fanned. Evidently Johns realized that the only way to win a game was to win it single-handed, and with good courage he went out after it. From that time on neither the miscues of his teammates nor his own mis takes made any difference. He just plugged along and refused point blank to let another Gull fly home ward. Johns w as not without assistance in an offensive line. In the sec ond the Crackers tied it up with hits by Alperman and East and a sacrifice by O’Dell, not to mention an error by "Baby Doll" Jacob son, the gigantic Swede, who plays left field for Mike Finn's team. Alperman, who scored the tieing run in the second, scored the win ning tally in the sixth. Hemphill opened that inning w ith a single, Alperman forced him at second. Singles by O'Dell and East did the trick. A base on balls and a sacrifice fly sent O’Dell home and ended the scoring It will be noted that the infield veterans. Alperman and East, did much of the damage. East’s first hit drove home the run that tied it. His second sent home the tally that won. MIKE FINN has brought quite a ball club with him to Atlanta. He calls it his Congress of the Na tions. It numbers Irishmen. Ger mans. Americans. Swedes. Arkan sawans, Italians. Scandanavians and Welshmen. And Mike himself, as is well known, is French. It is a tolerably useful ball club, too. Dunn and Starr are a couple of wise heads, and the latter is a particularly useful man. "Baby Doll” Jacobson Is a young giant, hut an awful whacker and a com ing player. Paulette, the new first baseman, was a high school boy in Little Rock a year ago this spring. Finn sent him to the Giants, where he stuck until the other day. He looks so good the Giants still have a string tied to him. He has Just taken Rohes place at first and seems likely to be a big success. Os course the big man of the Mo-, bile club is Al Demaree. When Johnny Dobbs introduced the man to the league he said: "Now watch this fellow. He doesn't look like a pitcher. I don't care a hang for his form. But he's a pitcher. And he'll set this league ablaze." It took a good while for Dobbs’ prediction to come true, but It has come at last. Demaree Is the best pitcher in the Southern And it isn't all luck either. Said Umpire Fitzsimmons yes terday: "Don't Ist Demaree sur prise you, for he really has the stuff. 1 was amazed the first time I worked behind him this year. He has a fast ball that fairly climbs. He has good curves, too, and nothing but nerve." Demaree surely doesn't look the big pitcher of the league. That queer motion that J. Dobbs apolo gized for the first year Al played in the Southern is still there. He hurls as though he were muscle bound. But there is no discounting his efficiency. He's there. Manager hemphill is an elusive person and this elusive ness has been a source of some trouble to the newspaper men of Atlanta. The complaint took a new turn yesterday. In the first inning of the game Hemphill was caught off first on a snap from the. pitcher. When this happens to the usual ball player he pretends he was try ing to steal second anyhow and Is tagged out at the bag. But Hemphill, as has been as severated previously, is elusive. He •objects to being pinned down. YANKS LIKELY TO MAKE HOME AT GIANTS' PARK By W. J. Mcßeth. NEW YORK, May 23.—Ameri can league baseball at the picturesque Brush Stadium, Polo grounds, will be seen for the first time on Memorial djiy, on Thursday, May 30. The New York Highlanders will entertain the world’s champion Athletics at the local National league grounds both morning and afternoon on this important holi day. At least President John T. Brush, of Ihs Giants, has extended the courtesy to Frank J. Farrell, the owner of the Yankees, and those on a position to be properly informed declare that the generos ity will be accepted in tty* spirit with which the offer is made. At the present time the two major league clubs of this city are on the most friendly terms. All the old rancor of war days has passed. The covenant was permanently signed and sealed when Frank J. Farrell turned over to Mr.'Brush his Hilltop field in the spring of 1911, after the old stands at the " Polo grounds had been destroyed by fire. At the time Mr. Brush was overwhelmed with gratitude. Ever since he has been anxiously awaiting an opportunity to repay the kindness. It is believed that the Memorial day courtesy of Mr. Brush is sim ply the first step towaid consoli dating the local major league in terests. so far as playing equip ment is concerned. It would not be at all surprising if both leagues utilize the Polo grounds after the present season. The lease on American League pa i k expires in. 1913. The inuch-talked-of new park at Two Hundred and Twenty fifth street and Broadway has not HORINE AND CRAIG TO COMPETE AT HARVARD It is settled that George Horine, the Stanford university high jump record holder, will show* at the Olympic try outs at the Harvard stadium.

So he galloped up and down the line. And as he galloped the Mobile players gathered and the ball was tossed back and forth. Now the scoring rules require that each man who handles a bail on which a put-out is made must get an assist. Ordinarily it is easy to get the assists properly al lotted. for an experienced scorer Jots them down as they are made. However, as this Is the first time Mobile has ever played in Atlanta, as most of the players are new here, and as the press i>ox is a long ways from the line between first and second, considerable confusion arose over the question of who in the dickens had handled the ball anyhow during the progress of the run-down. It took the arbitra tion commission of the press box at least five minute? of careful fig uring to decide who had been in the play and then the award was made on the liberal basis of giving everybody an assist on general principles. And al! beeause of the amazing elusiveness of Hemphill. materialized. In eighteen months nothing has been done. It would be almost impossible to have a modern plant upon the site by the spring of 1914, even if the work were to be started immediately. THE BASEBALL CARD. SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Gams* Today.
