COLUMN
WHEN a pink is on the ground
everybody jumps on h ! m.
Right now Charley Hemp
hill isn’t any too strong in Atlanta,
andXhe panning has started. ’'Hemp
hill Made Mistake of Underesti
mating League.” is the dope of The
Memphis News Scimitar, which was
reprinted by a local paper on Sat
urday. The «tory goes on as fol
lows. "Hempnil! had an idea that
the Southern was a s r: of a boob
organization, and that he. coming
from the big ci’y and a major or
ganization, would have .-'ll the other
pit. ts lashed to the mas’.”
As a matter >f fact, this is alto
gether wrong. Hemphill left New
York about a month before the
writer came to Atlanta. During the
American league meeting last win
ter Hemphill received his appoint
ment as manager of the Crackers.
I saw him the last day of the meet
ing and he was packing his belong
ings to get South in time to take
in the Southern's annual winter
session.
"I am going to have a tough job
of it," he said. "The Southern
league is just about as fast as the
Eastern league or Amerii an asso
ciation. Ami I am taking hold of a
tail-end club, too. I don’t expect
to make much of a showing the
first year, as 1 believe to get re
sults 1 will have to build up an en
tirely new team. 1 figure that it
will take me about three years to
get a winner, and I will consider
myself lucky if I do it in that time.”
Now, this statement verily shows
that Hemphill did not underesti
mate the strength of the Southern
league.
But he is a bit "down " now; so
let all the knockers get the hammer
going.
• • *
tT was Hemphill himself who ar
-1 ranged the deal whereby he goes
to the Columbus club. A life
long friend, Billy Eriel, is manag
ing the Columbus team, and Hemp
is sure to deliver his best brand.
Friel was utility man on the famous
Browns of 1902, which finished sec
ond to the Athletics after a royal
pennant race. It is very likely that
Hemp will act as field captain. Co
lumbus is running second to Min
neapolis There are only a few
points separating the clubs. Co
lumbus having edged up close with
in the past two weeks
Hemphill will probably add just
enough strength to Friel's aggrega
tion to bring them home a winner.
If he does, it sure will vindicate him
in every way.
Charley knows baseball; he
know s a player, and but for the fact
that he made a couple of mistakes
when off the field he woujd have
surely given Atlanta a good club
He didn't get the "breaks," and it
worried him.
Here's imping that Dame Fortune
does better by him in his new
berth —for a better fellow and a
more < mpefent p'.ix. r never wore

JOE M'GINNJTY announced a few
weeks ago that he Would never
decorate the pit with his presence
again. Joe stuck to it for about
ten days and then went in and won
a double-header for his Newark
club. The next da\ he went back
and won another game. Which, be
lieve me, is going some for a "pool,
broken-down atiileb," as one
Newark paper described McGinni
ty the day he did his Patti.
His performance of winning
tliiee games in two days shows
that be is still an "Iron Man." The)

even his famous old roundhouse

eight years ago to see McGinnity
work two days running, or even
pitch and win both games of a
double-header. And he didn't lag
about his work, either. He had no
bunch of contortions to go through
before delivering the ball. It was
simply a case of shove it over.
Games he twirled for the Giants
seldom lasted over an hour and
a half, and most of them were fin
ished well within that time.

JUST before the Cubs started an
invasion of the East. Frank

ter:
Mr. Frank Chance:
Out here in the tall grass
there Is a twenty-year-old boy
that seems to be material such
as you want. This youngster
is 6 feet 1 inch in height and of
clean habits. He is a left-hand
pitcher of exceptional ability.
He has speed, perfect control at
all times, and all the different
curves and drops. He is pitch
ing for our local team here and
lias, in two respective games,
struck out eighteen and twelve
men. respectively. I believe he
is National league material anil

desire to look him over.

the corn fields to Chicago. Leading
Ihe reluctant and bashful ruralite
by the hand, as he would a lad of
three, he brought him to the Cub
pit to meet Chance. He had just
watched Rucker and Liefield fin
ish a pitchers' battle.
"I think I’ve got better control
than Rucker, and my curves are far
better than Liefield’s," said the boy
when tile P. L. asked him how he
was impressed.
Such forwardness! How could
this go back to lowa unpunished?
So the Cubs thought as they heard
the frank remark of the tiller of the
. soil.
Aha! ho was Invited to partici
pate in the next morning’s warm
ing-up. He agreed readily; too
readily, the Cubs now think.
Visions of pounding the busher
all over the lot and sending him
back to Buffalo Center a sadder
but wiser farm hand tilled the in
tellect departments of Chicago's
hopes.
They set him on the slab and

"Br-rrr- wh-z-z!"

"I guess we'll take that fellow

Southern League This Season Is Weakest in History of Organization
BARON TEAM IS LIVELY AFFAIR, BUT NO WONDER
By Percy H. Whiting.
HARLEY HEMPHILL un-
I derestlmated the strength
of the Southern league.”
So many people said when the for
mer Highland outfielder was re
duced to the ranks.
But it was impossible.
No man could have underesti
mated the strength of the present
Southern league.
It is the weakest in all history.
The Southern association of 1912
lacks many thousands of being the
cheapest league in all history. It
is not the youngest. It isn't the
oldest. It isn’t even the slowest.
But it Is the weakest. Oppose
the present eight clubs against
those which played in the strongest
league of all history and the teams
of the current league would lose
four out of five games.
If the Birmingham team wins
the pennant this year it will be one
of tlie weakest teams that ever per
formed it- probably the very weak
est since the lamented Newt Fisher
copped.
It numbers one really remarkable
player, Almeida. That lets it out.
The only other things the team Is
noted for are team play, spirit,
ginger and willingness. It is the
"wiliingest” team of all history and
is playing better ball, considering
Its normal ability, than any other
team in the South ever did before —-
just as tlie Atlanta team this sea
son has been playing the worst
ball in the world, considering the
natural and proved ability of the
individual players.
• * •
I AST year’s league was tolerably
a strong. The team that won the
pennant wasn't any wonder. But
the general class of tlie league was
tolerably high. It numbered some
really good hitters in Pratt, Red
Smith, Butcher. Northern, Kirke
and Daley; some good fielders in
Schwartz. Jordan, Marcan. Manusb,
Elwert. Knaupp and Lindsay, and
some fair pitchers In Hess, Max
well. Aitehison, Bair. Kent. Prough,
Finlayson, Benton. Demaree, Al
len. Wagner and Foxen.
The 1910 league was another that
was fairly weak. The pennant
winning team. New Orleans, was
largely made up of Hess. Joe Jack
son and Manush, with a few "fill
ers." Tlie only batters of the
league outside Joe Jackson were
old-timers—McGilvray, Swacina,
Molesworth. Meek and Schwartz.
Hess and t'oveleskie were the only
notable pitchers. The other leaders
were veterans like Frank Sparks,
Theodore Breitenstein. Whitey
Guese, Tom Fisher and "Piggy”
Paige.
in 1909. the last year Atlanta won
the pennant. Bill Smith had a pret
ty strong team here, and one that
could trim the present league lead
ers with ease. The league, on a
whole, though, was not exception
ally strong. It numbered some real
ly great players, like Jake Daubert.
Wheat, Kirkpatrick. Perdue, Hess.
Maxwell and Suggs, but that let It
out.
The Nashville team that won the
pennant of 190 S was another joke.
Bar; ing Jake Daubert. Hub Perdue
and Humpty McElveen, it didn't
have a ball player that lasted
through the season and the club
numbered such jokes as Jack
Hardy and such old-timers as Kel
lum. Wiseman, East. Bay and Sea
bough
It was a great league, perhaps
th gieatest, though, even if thi
strength wasn't concentrated in
any one team. Il had Tri.- Speaker.

Phil Sitton.
Going back still further, we land
slap against a grand team—the
1907 pennant winners) of Bill Smith.
On this club were Paskert. Rube
Zeller. Roy Castleton, Bob Spade,
Russ Ford and Ed Sweeney, all of
whom "went higher;" and Winters,
Jesse Beeker. Jim Fox and Otto
Jordan, all of whom were playing
the games of their career.
Tlie league itself was tolerably
strong that year. It numbered a
world of men who went higher and
stuck—Neal Ball. Kid Wells. Dolly-
Stark, Jud Daley, Suggs, Wilhelm,
and a mess of others.
You could go right on like this
back to tlie beginning without find
ing a pennant-winning team much
weaker than the one that leads ihe
Southern league race at present, nr
a league in which the total strength
was less.
* • *
nIRJUNGHAM, witli a '-club that
cost but $5,500, will probably go
down in league history as the
cheapest pennant winner (if it is
one)-since the days of thstt great
economist. Newt Fisher, '
The Cracker club, on the other
nand, will break a league record as
the most expensive team that ever
finished last (if it does finish last,
which seems highly probable at
this writing).
A rough guess at the cost of the
MATCHES START TODAY

\\ A. Jaekson vs J. C Harris
Crackers this year would place the
figures at $11,009 to $15,000. An
other pitcher and an outfielder must
be purchased—say at a cost of a.
couple of thousand more, bringing
the total up to $13,000 to $17,000.
And the team is last and making ho
violent symptoms of getting any
better. 4
* * *
A T that, the Crackers can, and
may. finish in ,the first division.
They are only 65 points out of the
first division (-or a matter of 5 1-2
, games). The team is still second
, among the le|igue clubs In batting,
, and‘third in liitting for total bases.
1 If the local club is lucky enough to
1 round up a couple of first-class
( pitchers within the. next couple of
weeks, the trick can be turned.
The trouble with the Cracker
team is tilth it ’s entirely disorgan
ized. 'a®d that it hast acquired the
habit of losing. And such a habit,
once formed, is worse, than hitting
the pipe. Maybe “Whitey" Alper
man can reform them. Maybe not.
It is surely a grown man’s job.
♦ ♦ ♦
T F it Should happen that tflark
Griffith’arid his'team of Senators
should train in Atlanta next spring,
it would be a changed organization
from the collection of jokes who
were here a couple of years ago,
under the leadership of Jimmy Mc-
Aleer. Griffith has performed prob
ably the most miraculous miracle of
all baseball history by sending the
Senators into the race for the
American league pennant. There
is even a chance that they may yet
win the bunting. Surely they ought
to finish as good as second —and
that’s tolerably good • for
Washington.
It can't be said that the Washing
ton club did much for the Crackers
the last time they were here. "Biff”
Corbin, their donation In lieu of
"ground rent,” was a first-class lit
tle scrapper, at his weight; but his
skull was more or less solid, and
his batting ability was almost a
minus quantity.
Manager Griffith isi well known in
Atlanta, for he has trained here
before, with tlie Yankees and with
the Reds.
IF GIANTS WIN THEY ARE
' TO TAKE TOUR OF WORLD
NEW YORK. July 29. —Providing, of
' course, that the Giants win the Na
' tional league pennant, arrangements
, have been practically completed to make
a-trip half-way around the world with
the winners of the American league
championship
In other words, the teams taking
part in the world’s series in the fall
w ill leave here on October 25 for a trip
that will be watched with interest a
greater part of next winter. The trip
will cover leading cities in the United
States, the rival teams playing in Den
ver. Los Angeles and San Francisco, be
sides other cities, before sailing for
Honolulu.
After several games there, the play
ers will go direct to Japan to give ex
hibitions of the national game in Tokio
and Yokohama
Hongkong. China, will' be the next
stopping place, after which Manila will
be visited. Then Australia will be the
objective point, with games in Sydney
and Melbourne Instead of going around
the world, touring Europe and coming
back across the Atlantic, it Is planned
to sail for Panama from the Antipodes.
. as games in the Canal Zone are ex
pected to be profitable. South America,
I after that, will be toured, the teams
probably having games arranged for
them in Valparaiso. Buenos Ayres and
Rio di Janeiro. Prom the last named
city, the tk;m|s will sail direct for New
York, being s< tie'duled to arrive herein
or about February 1
The expenses of the trip are esti
mated at $50,000. Thirty players—fif
teen for each team—will be taken along,
and if there are any profits the money
will be divided equally among the men.
It is understood that A. G. Spalding,
whi financed a world’s tour in IX9B. has
agreed to subscribe a certain am >•» t
towatd guaranteeing expenses and that
other wealthy men interested in the
game have promised to Help.
