his fi'*t opportunity of pitching In
a hig league game yesterday, and
although the hig 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 .1 lead of seven
runs at the time, with Kaier going
at his best The Naps had been
getting to .lack Quinn hard and
often, banging his deliver.' sot sev

few misplays. gave them a com
manding lead, but Thompson walk

sessed and nary a feat of going
against the fence breaking crowd.

Thompson wasn't striking them out
he had the Naps popping up easy

ball out of the infield, once when

Hemphill Discouraged Over Weather; His Players Need Work
RACE IN SOUTHERN GETS BETTER EVERY MINUTE
By Percy H. Whiting.
ZTaEIIS wpHther Is playing the
| wild with the Atlanta ball
club, with th? gate receipts
and with our 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 1 give
it to 'em? I can not. I can't play
in tlie rain.”
The t'rackers are not unlike the
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 thej’’ll never
be able to win any games until
they play a few.
Some teams get good on loafing.
They are the ones made up of well
behaved youngsters. No team of
veterans ever played good ball un
less it was playing steadily.
• • •
I\<\NY fans have wondered this
year why Manager Hemphill
loaded up his team with so many
veterans. The official explanation
is that "Hemp” took over a tail
end team, with little material on it
that he could use. When the wreck
ing crew got through with the
Southern league antl-Champs of
1911 all that was left was (or
"were," it's immaterial to nie>
Sykes. O’Dell, Sitton and Atkins.
•Naturally Hemphill had to build
up the team from the 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 to 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 ami
the ex-big leaguers. Rut the vast
mess of minor league performers Is
as queer as kraut to him. So he
grabs for what he knows.
■NJEXT year the local baseball as
-1 - sociatlon plans to dally more
with young players. There are two
reasons for this. One is that the
kids liven 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 J.'.oon and
a star brings more than a score of
thousands, it pays to dig them up.
LIAS anybody noticed that the
Southern league race is getting
good? if not. please notice. Yes
terday three teams were tied for
third plats-. Today Chattanooga
has the position, all alone.
Right now the league leaders and
the tail-end clubs are separated by
but S 3 full games.
Os course. Rirmingham has a
rather exalted standing. At that, if
the Barons lose t games w hile the
Gulls are winning 5. Mike Finn's
team will pass them.
The teal tight race Is between
second and Seventh places, inclu
sive. only 3 1-2 full games sep
arate the Mobile club from the
• Crackers, which is moderately near.
The Gulls, in second place, have
lost one more game this season
than the < 'nickers, in s, vent 11 place.
Th-- Atlanta club, though it
stands next to last at present, isn't
lagging so tremendously far be

the Barons Is strengthening. In
side of a week the Crackers should
be twice as strong as they were a
week ago. That sounds pretty
strong, but ft will not miss it much.
If Brady and Russell 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, are as
big an improvement over East and
the man w’ho goes ,as baseball
headquarters expects, the Infield
will be pretty nearly three times
as strong. The addition of Calla
han and the departure of Ganley
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
CHATTANOOGA. TENN., June
S.—Nelson Whitney and
"Bill” Stewart, both of New-
Orleans, embarked this morning on
the long 36-hole grind that will de
ckle 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 W’ho ever held first honors twice.
He was champion in 1907 and 1908.
Stewart won the title last year. It
was considered more or iesis of a
fluke then, but his work this sea
son has given the lie to that dope,
for lie 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 S -
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 t’ity expired
in the big gully separating the
eighteenth tee from the green. F.
G. Byrd, champion of 1910, and the
only 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 th* green, a distance of
over 200 yards. In attempting to
duplicate this. Byrd 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

the championship flight yesterday.

In the fifth flight R. E. Richards.

Memphis, won from C. E. Foust,

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 is
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.

East will not be bought from Atlanta ,
by the Memphis club, and Second Base
