Local Fans Should Stick by
Team Instead of Knocking ’Em
Bv W. S. Farnsworth.
UP East, Atlanta has the name
of being the most loyal
baseball village on the map.
Rut, getting right down to cold
facts, it doesn’t, seem as though the
fans of this fair city are breaking
their neeks to give Charley Hemp
hill any encouragement this year.
True. Atlanta fandom has been
forced to put up with some very
putrid baseball of late years, and
they can hardly be expected to sup
port a loser as well as a winner.
But. nevertheless, at some of the
recent games at Poncy park the
fans have rooted hard for the vis
itors and at times even jeered the
local lads.
President '’allaway 1* doing all
he can to get a first division club,
and so is Manager Hemphill. They
are leaving no stone unturned to
give Atlanta, a winner And surely
• here are no two persons who are
more anxious to see the home ath
letes right up near the top. It
means money to the one and repu
tation upheld to the other.
Hemphill came to Atlanta and
took hold of a cellar combination
He started the season with the
blackest outlook possible. Ho real
ized that he would have to build up
an entirely new team to get any
results And in doing this he has
been forced to flutter around the
bottom. But slowly and surely he
is '.voiding a combination that will
give a good account of itself yet.
Coleman's Actions Hurt,
He lias been unfortunate In se
curing men he wanted. He had
Coleman on the way here and an

Brilliant Blazers and Norfolks
At Muse’s

pair of white trousers--unless it’s when they
are supplemented by the very dashing Blazers
or Norfolks of brilliant hue.
Stick to your colors— college or club
wear a Norfolk of red and black, orange and
blue or red and white—when boating, or battling
at tennis—or just bowling around “starting
something.”
They are startlingly stylish—and other
colors are light blue and white, yellow and black,
purple and white—all in stripes.

$7.50.
White flannel trousers. $5.
Worsted with stripe of blue, black or

tapped Infielder arrived he would
let East go. Immediately East be
gan to slow up in his work. I
won’t say he quit, but anybody in
his position would be unable to
play their best nrand.
Brady and Russell, two pitchers
that are almost sure to make good
here, arrived with sore arms. Anri,
according to Hemphill, it will be
fully a week before either will be
able to strike their gait.
The • breaks"' have not been with
the team and no team can win un
less Dame Fortune is with them.
<>ne year ago last spring the New
York Highlanders were figured as a
sure one-two team by big league
experts. Rut they never secured
the "breaks" and finished hopeless
ly in the second division
The fact that Hemphill has been
purchasing men right and left
proves that he is doing all In his
power to get a winner. And he is
lust the man who will accomplish
what he Is after, too.
Hard Job For Hemphill.
So. come on, you Atlanta fans,
stick by the team, encourage them
at every opportunity, and you will
soon be rewarded. Don’t expect
Hempltill to get a pennant winner
the first year. It takes time to
bring h club from last place to the
head of the ladder.
Twenty years of good, solid base
ball experience must have made
Hemphill a better judge of ball
players than some of the would
be baseball experts who were with
the team when they were on top.
but who are now panning the ever
lasting daylights out of Hemphill
and the local baseball association.
And the next time you go out to
Boney park root for the homo boys
and try to encourage them all you
THE ATT.ANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. FRIDAY, .TUNE 14. 1912.
Neither Doyles Nor Pell Coming Here for Big Tennis Event
SOUTHERNER SHOULD WIN 1012 TENNIS TITLE
By Percy H. Whiting.
THE coming Southern tennis
championship at Atlanta
gives promise of being a
real "Southern event.” Not a sin
gle Northern player has announced
his entry. Not a single one has
planned to come to Atlanta for the
big Southern event.
The Doyle brothers, who have
come down from Washington two
seasons In a row and who have
both times taken back |he two
main cups, will positively not com
pete this season. This is a big
surprise. It was presumed that,
because they had two legs on each
trophy, they would take the trou
ble to come down and make it
three. With this very point in
view, the local club was making
every effort to round up a couple
of sharks who would be good
enough to keep the silverware at
home, or at least to string out the
trouble of winning It.
And now’ H. E. Doyle says he
will not come down this year. He
is going to Maine with his family
for his vacation and will pass up
Atlanta.
When this news is published
there will be easier breathing In
Atlanta, for It looked as though the
doubles and singles cups would
surely go to Washington for keeps,
which meant that somebody had to
"dig” to replace them.
Theodore Roosevelt Pell was an
other who had planned to play a
return engagement in Atlanta. But
at the last minute he. was chosen
on the supplementary list of the
Olympic team, which meant that
he could go If he would pay hls
own expenses. And as money Is
no especial object to Fell, he Is go-
ing. And Atlanta loses the Indoor
King.
However, the tennis committee
of the Atlanta Athletic club will
use every reasonable effort to get
a few strong players. B. M. Grant
and Carleton Smith are going to
Pittsburg for the clay court cham
pionship which begins June 22.
While they are there they will at
tempt to round up a couple of
stars.
• • •
rpHERE will be no dearth of en-
for the championship. The
fact that co Northern or Eastern
stars will appear in the tourna
ment will make it peculiarly at
tractive to Southern players, who
haven't entered very freely of late,
owing to the fact that there were
always a few players with whom
they had no chance. This year
the tournament should be as open
as a keg of beer, and there Is
bound to be a big entry from New
Orleans, Knoxville, Nashville,
Memphis and Birmingham.
Also, of course, Atlanta players
will enter more freely than usual.
Not very much is heard of club
tennis in Atlanta, but for all that

‘Sweeper 11/ Derby Favorite,
Alleged to Have Been Doped
By C. W. Williams.
London, England, June u.
—What promises to be the
worst scandal of the British
turf in ten years became known
when the sporting weekly, The
Looking Glass, announced that
Sweeper 11. the American colt
which started favorite in the re
cent derby, was doped before the
race.
A significant fact in connection
with the dope story was that H. B.
Duryea dismissed Danny Maher,
who rode Sweeper 11, and en
gaged Frankie O’Neill, another
American boy. to pilot Sweeper II
in the remainder of his stake en
gagements.
An investigation shows that, in
the opinion of a large number of
racing men Sweeper II was doped.
Duryea’s trainer is unable to ac
count for the miserable showing of
the colt. It Is suspected that two
or three bookmakers who stood to
lose fortunes on a Sweeper II vic
tory know more about the "doping”
than they would care to say.
It was certain that when Sweeper
II left hls stable for the big race
he was never fitter. When he re
turned to his stall after the derby
the colt was listless and feeble.
He was kept irt the stable until
Saturday, when he was taken out
for an exercise canter. He moved
very stiffly, and appeared to show
the effects of some strong stimu
lant.
In the derby he ran like a doped
horse, to the astonishment of his
trainer, who considered Sweeper II
a certainty. Sweeper Il’s greatest
asset is his speed, but he ran with
out putting an ounce of energy in
hls work. Danny Maher said aft
er the race that he could not un
derstand the performance, for in
the Newmarket Sweeper II was .
pulling him out of the saddle, and
then, released for the final dash,
shot out like an arrow to beat eas
ily horses that defeated him in the
derby.
In the derby, Maher said that
Sweeper II moved as if the exer
tion of racing were hurting him.
Maher said, "He never could go
with his field.” At no point in the •
race did the American colt hold a
winning chance.
