Os Carl Thompson, Now a Yank
CARL THOMPSOX, the former I’niversity of Georgia
twirler. made his first appearance on the mound in a
Yankee uniform last Wednesday, when he finished a
game against the Xaps in Cleveland. Harry Glaser, war cor
respondent with the team for Hearst’s Xew York Evening
Journal, had the following to say about the work of the
Athens hero:
By Harn- Glaser.
CLEVELAND, OHIO. June B.
Car! Thompson, the tall col
legian who joined Wolver
ton's outfield a few days ago, had
his first opportunity of pitching In
a big league game yesterday, and
although the big blonde twirler did
not have a chance to cover himself
with glory by scoring a victory, he
certainly made good
The game was tucked away by
the Naps when Thompson made his
debut in the fifth inning. Davis’
hopefuls having a lead of seven
runs at the time, with Kaier going
at his best. The Naps had been
getting to Jack Quinn hard and
often, banging his delivery for sev
en hits, which, with the aid of a
few misplays, gave them a com
manding lead, hut Thompson walk
ed to the mound cool and self-pos
segsed and nary a fear of going
against the fence breaking crowd.
Fanned Birmingham at Start.
His first act was to fan Bir
mingham, one of the Naps' collec
tion of .300 hitters, and before the
game was over three other aspiring
a Clevelanders had tossed away their
bats after vainly trying to connect
with his puzzling curves. When
Thompson wasn't striking them out
he had the Naps popping up easy
flies Only twice did they get the
ball nut of the. infield, once when
Lajnie singled and on the other
occasion Birmingham tiled to Cree
Lajoie’s hit was the only real solid
hit made off the youngster. Ball
U. OF M. REINSTATES

JACKSON. MISS . June x The gen

instatement of six students at the Ini
versity of Mississippi, members of the
1911 football team who were suspended
betause of alleged acceptance of money
for their participation in athletics.
The college board also rescinds tne
action of the faculty in dismissing Dr

b\ telegraph of his reinstatement.
Briefix stated, it was* charged that
the rules of the Southern intercollegiate

also got a safe swat. but it was of
the scratch variety, Stump making
a swell one-hand stop and failing
by a few feet of getting the batter
at first.
Thompson uses a fast drop and
out curve. His main dependence is
a change of pace, possessing the
ability to mix them in deceiving
manner. Speed he also has in
plenty, and while his performance
of yesterday was hardly a test suf
ficient on which to risk any predic
tion as to his future, his big league
debut could not have been more
promising under the circumstances.
The new twirler hails from the
land of cotton. He was born at
Spring City, Tenn., twenty years
Hgo. All the baseball experience he
possesses was gained while with
prep school and college teams
Irwin Unearthed Thompson.
During the last three years he
played with the I' of Georgia
and while there pitched a few times
against the Yankees in spring ex
hibition games It was on one of
these occasions that he attracted
the attention of Scout Irwin, who
secured him.
A month ago in a game against
the Auburn college nine of Ala
bama Thompson struck out 22 men
in a nine-inning contest. East sea
son he won eleven out of twelve
games for his alma mater. Wolver
ton is greatly pleased with the
showing made by him yesterday,
and will undoubtly coach him along
carefully. He may get a chance to
start a game In the near future.
DOUBLE UMPIRE SYSTEM
TO LAST WHILE LONGER
MEMPHIS, June 8. Advices from
Southern league headquarters are to
the effect that the threatened curtail
ment of the umplrical force will not
take place at any time soon, and there
Is more than an outside impossibility
that the dual judgeship proposition will
remain intact until the yellow and sere
of the autumnal period becomes sea
sonable matter. This, coming straight
and direct from his Judicial excellency.
W. Marmaduke Kavanaugh and almost
immediately in the wake of a state
ment to the contrary, Is a signal for nu
merous and vociferous yelps of joy. Il
is needless to recount the virtues of
the modern system It has many, and
all add to the betterment of the game.
However, it wasn’t doubt as to tin
effectiveness of the system that placed
it in Jeopardy in this circuit. It was
the additional cost incident to the em
ployment of new umpires. ttyving to
the horrible weather and the other
tragic feats engineered by the elements
the opening weeks of the league were
far from successful, financially or ar
| tiatically. Inasmuch as there are cer
tain cities in the circuit whose gate
receipts never require the hiring of ex
|a rt mathematicians there is nevei a
world of coin made in Dixie's major
league When an unusually bad start
was made it therefore, became neces
sary to reduce expenses. Eor a time it
looked a« if the umpires would be the
ones to feel the keen .utter In the

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY. .TUNE 8. IHu.
Hemphill Discouraged Over Weather; His Players Need Work
RACE IN SOUTHERN GETS BETTER EVERY MINUTEj
By Porcy 11. Whiting.
rjxHIS weather Is playing the
I wild with the Atlanta ball
club, with the gate receipt*
and with otir dispositions. About
three solid weeks of sunshine is all
that will save us. Manager Hemp
hill is fairly wild over the weather.'
' Here 1 have a team," he says,
"that needs work. And can I give
it to 'em'.’ I can not. I can’t play
in the rain."
The ''racket s are not unlike tho
Irishman with the tight boots who
said: "Faith, an’ I’ll never be able
to get 'em on till after I wear 'em
a bit." In their case they'll never
be able to win any games until
they play a few.
Some teams get good on loafing.
They are the otjea made up of well
behaved youngsters. No team of
veterans ever played good ball un
less it was playing steadily.
...
W'XY fans have wondered this
JVI. year why Manager Hemphill
loaded up his team with so many
veterans. The official explanation
is that "Hemp" took over a fail
end team, with little material on it
that he could use. When the wreck
ing crew got through with the
Southern league anti-Champs of
1911 all that was left was (or
"were," it's immaterial to me;
Sykes, O’Dell. Sitton and Atkins.
Naturally Hemphill had to build
up the team from ths bottom. And
naturally he picked up old players
to do It..
Did you ever notice that when a
man comes down from the big
leagues Io manage a minor league
club he always lugs a lot of old
timers with him? It never fails.
That's easy to explain, too.
A manager coming down from
above knows the big leaguers and
the ex-big leaguers. But the vast
mess of minor league performers is
as queer as kraut to him. So he
grabs for what he knows.
NTEXT year the local baseball as-
7 sociation plans to dally more
with young*players. There are two
reasons for this. One is that the
kids lixen up a team and add to the
speed. The other is that a minor
league club must depend, quite
largely, for its income on develop
ing young players for sale to the
major leagues.
In these days, when any ordina
rily good player is worth $5.<100 and
a star brings more than a score of
thousands, it pays to dig them up.
T_IAS anybody noticed that the
11 Southern league race is getting
good? If not. please notice. Yes
terday three teams were tied for
third place. Today Chattanooga
has the position, all alone.
Right now the league leaders and
the tail-end clubs are separated by
but 13 full games,
<if course, Birmingham has a
rather exalted standing. At that, if
the Barons lose 4 games while the
Hulls are winning 5. Mike Finn’s
team will pass them.
The real tight race is between
second and seventh places, inclu
sive. only 3 1-2 full games sep
arate the Mobile club from the
■ I'ta.kers, which is moderately near.
Tie (lulls, in second place, have
lost one more game this season
I than the Crackers, in seventh place.
Tin Olanta club. though it
stands next to last at present, isn't
lagging so t remendouslj far be

the Barons is strengthening. In
side of a. week the Crackers should
be twice a* strong as they were a
week ago. That sounds pretty
strong, but it will not miss it much.
If Brady and Ruasell are the men
they ought to be, the pitching staff
will be a good bit more than twice
as strong. If Coleman and the
new man, name unknown, ane as
big an improvement over East and
the man who goes as baseball
headquarters expects, the infield
will he pretty nearly three times
as strong. The addition of Calla
han and the departure of Ganiev
should bolster up the outfield mate
rially. And the catching staff was
doing very well, anyway.
New Orleans Gets Championship;
Rainwater, of Atlanta, Wins Cup
C-AHATTANOOGA. TENN., June
S.—Nelson Whitney and
I "Bill” Stewart, both of New-
Orleans, embarked this morning <jn
the long 36-hole grind that will de
cide the championship of the
Southern Golf association for 1912.
Each man has already tasted the
honors of golfing leadership. Whit
,ney is the only American born golf
er who ever held first honors
He was champion in 1907 and 1908.
Stewart won the title last year. It
was considered more or less of a
fluke then, but his w r ork this sea
son has given the lie to that dope,
for he has fought his way to the
finals through the very thickest of
the fight.
One other match is in progress
that goes all day. That is the 36-
hole finals In the first flight. Al
bert Schwartz and Whitney Bou
den. a veteran and a kid. are fight
ing it out in that division. The re
mainder of the final matches are
being played at 18 holes.
A big gallery is following the
championship contest.
After one of the most spectacu
lar matches seen in the local tour
nament. the last Atlanta golfer was
eliminated from the Southern
championship yesterday afternoon.
The hopes of the Gate City expired
in the big gully separating the
eighteenth tee from the green. F.
G. Byrd, champion of 1910. and the
onl( Atlantan who reached the
semi-finals, and W. p. Stewart, of
New Orleans, champion of 1911,
reached the seventeenth hole all
even. Stewart made a tremendous
shot from the last tee and virtually
reached the green, a distance of
over 200 yards. In attempting to
duplicate this, Bj rd pressed, top
ped his ball, and it rolled down to
the depths below. The sphere found
an unplayable lie and lodged there.
So the Atlanta man picked it up
and gave up the match.
In the other semi-final match in
the championship flight yesterday,
Nelson Whitney, of New Orleans,
champion of 1907 and 190 S, trim
i med J E England, Jr., a newcomer
from Little Rock. 3-2.

ers. A. F Schwartz, champion of

far from a brilliant player, but B
one of the steadiest in Atlanta, and
his steady plugging down the mid

him a net of 72.
