The local case that of Johns is well known. Every effort on earth "as made to get rid of him -and all failed tV'hilc they were letting him hang around, because they weren't paying him any salary any how. hr suddenly whirled in and began pitching great ball Hr Is now one of the stars of the staff. The Birmingham case Is that of Hardgrove He has won some thing like seven out of eight games this year, and yet before the season opened Manager Mnlesworth Hied to give him to Bessemer —AND FAILED! Hardgrove wasn't well during th" training .season, came around but slowly, and at first exhibited noth ing except a heartv appetite. Moles worth liked him personally, but didn't see a chance for him to earn his pay. So he tried to sell him lend him, and finally tn give him away. All on earth Molev asked In return for Hardgrove's services was- a string And nobody would give him even that. Now $3,000 cash wouldn't be ac cepted for him for immediate de livery— no. nor $5,000. If Hardgrove had been canned just as he was on the verge of be coming a wonder, he wouldn't have been the first one. The cases of comers who were canned and bloomers who were retained are multitudinous in the Southern league.

Ball went to the American league at a good price. Otto Jordan, when he was first n manager, gave Nap Hui ker a half-hearted try-out and sent him packing off Any club could have bought Zack Wheat cheap the batted but .226 in Ikliki, but none of them wanted him until Brooklyn got him and he de veloped into a wonder. Zinn, the sensation of the otherwise quite hopeless 1912 Highlanders, was passed back by .Memphis after all the Southern league clubs had waived on him. The Atlanta club has been pecu liarly luckless In turning hack play ers who were destined to become stars. In addition to Rucker, who became one of the game's greatest left-handers, they let go the great est right-handed pitcher of 1911, Bert Maxwell, and the greatest pitcher of the present season. Al liemaree They canned Rill Vie bahn, who went to the American association and did well. They passed up Berkle (or Bierkotte, or whatever his blamed name was. for he seemed uncertain about it while here), who 'went higher," and they did as much foi Kirkpatrick, who Is also on the up-slant now. Joe Jackson, second best battei in the American league, was offered to At lanta and refused. The other Southern league clubs have overlooked their share of bets. "Dolly" Stark, now a star with Brooklyn, was passed back to (tie bushes once or twice from the Southern. Walter East, now a (’racket', was turned loose by Lit tle Rock as useless, only to go to the Nashville team and furnish about 25 per cent of the playing strength of the Vols the year they won theii last pennant. Prince Gaskill was allowed to drop from the Southern league as a joke, but now be has become a star of i'lass AA ball.

President Woodward wanted an in fielder early this season, and Man ager Callahan, of the White Sox, offered him Bergharnmer. Wood ward wanted to know something about the man, so he wrote Berger, a former Southern leaguer, also with the Sox. A bit later Berger and the manager were discussing Bergharnmer. By the way. I had a letter from an owner asking about him." said Cal "So did I," said Berger, "Did you give him a good repu tation asked the Sox manager. "Say. 1 gate him the finest rec ommendation that any ball player ever received." chirped "I.im." "The gieatest infielder I ever saw. The greatest hitter that ever wield ed a bat A fellow who could catch on quicker than any man that ever stepped in shoeleather, and with never the trace of bone in his head. Did I give him a good recommen dation? Say . there was one fellow 1 did not want fighting for a job. 1 fixed him so they couldn't help but buy him." We cant recall what became of Bergharnmer. but he doesn't seem to be with the Barons now. GRAVES ARE DECORATED. LOUISVILLE. KY . May 30.

CHICAGO, May 30. -Hereaf ter, we are told. Ad Wol gast is to have a stablemate. His name is Al Kaufman, twice punctured championship possibil ity. Tom Jones, who handles the business of the lightweight cham pion. recently accepted the task of guiding Al back into the spot light of publicity among th« big fellows. Jones himself is authority for the story and announced just be fore ho went to Now York re cently, that he soon would start boosting the big German from the coast along toward something good in the way of purses. Hirst Kaufman will take on some me diocre men out on the coast in four-round contests. Among them "ill be Soldier Elder. Miller and Horne. Kaufman hopes in this way to light his way back into shape and then Show them some thing when he gets among the real tough ones of the class, VVolgast’s manager accepted the Kaufman duties only after a long and thorough discussion with Kaufman. Al represented to Jones that most of his trouble in the past was caused by a failure to train properly, a condition brought on by the overconfident state of his mind " hen he accepted certain matches that turned out disas trously. Kaufman has many natural qualifications to make him one of the world's best boxers. He is big and heavy, has a certain amount of speed and skill and best of all can punch hard and is game as a pebble. There isn't any question of his gameness at all. He has shown it a dozen times. Twice Kaufman has been given (lie severest of setbacks when ft looked possible for him to tight his way into a match for the real title. Once he tackled Jack O'Brien out on the Pacific coast and was cut into ribbons by the speedy Philadelphia fighter. That was one of the few mistakes that Billy Delaney made with his men. He matched Kaufman with O'Brien when the former wasn't ready -for such game. Something over a year ago Kaufman made a match with Jim Flynn in Kansas City tha' gave him even a greater setback than the O'Brien affair. Kaufman took Flynn on because th® Pueblo fire man looked easy and the money of the K. <'. club looked like find ing it. Al never trained a serious lick for the encounter, it is said, and Flynn sprung one of the sen sations of th» year by stopping Kaufman in nine rounds. Al never quite recovered from that beating and later proved rather easy picking for Al Palzer in New York. So it is plain that A! lias quite a lot of ground tb make up before he can hope to re ceive any attention from the lead er of the class, whoever he may be. after the July 4 affair in Las Vegas.

THOMSON, amateur champion all-around athlete of the world, has written the first of a series of articles for The Georgian, describing “The Value of ('lean Living in Athlet-. ics. ’’ These articles should prove not alone of interest, but of utmost importance to amateur ami ■professional athletes alike. Mr. Thomson is firm in his contention that a good athlete who has always observed the rules of clean living is a better athlete than a wood athlete who has failed to do so. Records of many prominent figures in American athletics testify to the statement. By Fred C. Thomson. World's Champion All-Around Athlete. CLEAN living is of value in ath letics. You may be able to point to men of impure lives that are groat athletes. I'll admit that. You may be able to point to men of clean lives that are poor athletes. I'll admit that. But the good athlete of impure life is good in spite of that fact and the poor athlete of pure life is poor as an athlete because of some other lim iting condition. I've made my ad missions. now you must make this one: All things being equal, the man of clean life will win out over the man of loose habits. Let me tell you a story It Is a very simple tale and will take but rs few words. Some time ago a boy, It makes no difference who he was. was signed up to enter a big contest —a contest that few men could stand. A very few days be fore the test day he arrived at the prescribed place where it was would not influence our tale. .A reasonable time before he had started in on the regular prepara- , tion for his contest. The second day of hts preparation he had been in jured. injured in such away that all preparation had to be dropped. The boy was in despair The com ing day's work was heavy. The boy was hopeless In preparing for the time. But he had traveled far for the day. and he was determined to see it out. A few days—a pit iable few days—before the test time he tried himself through the paces easily, gradually. Heavy work was impossible. He was not in shape; he knew it. In those last few days the boy and a man were thrown together. They had both come a long way and from the same direction. They were after the same prize. But a friendship grew up in those few hours. They were strangers together in a strange land, and they felt them selves to be. kindred spirits. But they had been differently brought up—the boy so that the things that had to be dropped for strict train ing did not have to be dropped: they hati never been taken up. The man when in training had to fol low a certain schedule of absti nence, for his life had several things in it that did not make for good training. The boy preferred nothing, but the man drew from him his- usual mode of life and showed no amusement at what he found only because he was too fine grained. The day came. The test began. The man was the better, the more finished athlete. He was mature. He had been through it all before. The boy was far from being a great athjete and was new at the game. The day wore on. The man led in the events where ability counted. The race was even, with the odds all seemingly with the man. it was nearly over. But one test lay before the weary men. for there were many others in the race, though the man ami the boy had forged ahead, shoul der to shoulder, tili now they could all but see the finish of the day's work. The day had been trying, the sultry sky ; the wearing drive of flagging muscles. But it was near ly over in a few minutes it would be done and one the victor, the other beaten. Which would it be? The man led already in the after noon - work. The task still before was the test of stamina, endurance, ot reaction from the strain just past. A -hot vias fired! A rush inch crunch of many feet, and the tale was rapidly being told. At first a hopeless contusion of swing ing arms and driving legs. Then the heavy burden of weary mus cles began to tell, till the throng dwindled and became a straggling line. But the man and the boy! Yes. tljere they were in the fore of the line The man was leading, the boy a stride behind, and they measured stride and stride. Arm followed arm in its swdng. The crunch of their feet in the cinders was as the crunch of one foot. A lap was gone. Then two. The man still led. Th'? boy followed a stride behind, stride for stride. The man seemed run ning lighter The boy was heavy and his weight was seeming to tell. Another shot rang out. Now was the time. Forgetting the incom plete training, the boy for the first time broke stride and swung out for the pole. The man left, too. Hut it was just a leap, for the hours of pleasure hung heavy on the pounding heart. The capillaries re- —X Zk-. %>ATLANTA>;^ A GA.
