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.

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 ■ locality where the celluloid Is hung. i PRATT SENT TO RIGHT FOR KEEPS BY STOVALL 1 ST l.ol’lS MO.

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 , hind. \\ ith all of its wretched .47, standing It is only 7 1-2 games be hind the Barons, who are out in front. l-’\ er\ team in ths' league except MONDAY Atlanta vs. Nashville PONCE DELEON PARK Game Called 4:00 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. The two other New Orleans plav ers. A. F Schwartz, champion of 1902. and Whitney Bouden, the 17- \ ear-old lad, won in the first flight Hewsheim Og Ai(7| ,/lllwayy | I Good X / y* Gr l u,r L— I This chap Pat Donahue is mak ing the croakers sing a changed > tune. When he came here most of us thought he had one foot and both arms in the grave. But blessed if he is not proving the best man who has worked behind the bat for Atlanta since Sid Smiths day. And of late he has had a tremendous advantage over Smith in pegging to second.

The winners in the semi-finals of the fourth flight were J. E. Morgan, Memphis, who defeated N. T. Mon tague. Chattanooga. 4-3, and S. D. Baxter, Nashville, who won from R. G. Watkins, Chattanooga, 4-3. In the fifth flight R. E. Richards. Atlanta, defeated P. A. Wright. At lanta, 3-1, and W. W. Simmons. Memphis, won from C. E. Foust, Birmingham, 8-6. Despite the defeat of Byrd in the semi-finals yesterday, the Atlanta delegation will not return cupless. C. V. Rainwater, of the Atlanta Athletic club, turned in the low net score in the handicap. This man is far from a brilliant player, but B one of the steadiest in Atlanta, and his steady plugging down the mid dle of the course netted him an 87, which, with a handicap of 15, gave him a net of 72. “NO JOB FOR EAST WITH US,” SAYS B, BERNHARD MEMPHIS TENN June B.—Walter East will not be bought from Atlanta , by the Memphis club, and Second Base man Moulton will not be displaced by anybody. That’s the announcement from base ball headquarters and puts an end to the rumor that East would be bought by the Turtles. 6=9 * « CU 5* 30 ■ Y U c tij > co —"* JJO s>® " s oc 0 r•= sc" 4 n -> Sis*' E il o“ £= ° j z -s\., !I ‘ Lai,! j 1 »*— WBhra.,. x'WiIHLSiJ *pA*j VYgwyi 10% Oversize Adds 25% to the Mileage Goodyear No-Rim-Cut tire* are cut.
