KNOWLESJHEN
DEFAULTS MATCH
Clarence Knowles has put h leg on the
Perry Adair trophy as a result of the
final round in the Adair trophy event.
But the real hero of the final round was
George \V. Adair. He and Knowles met
in the 36-hole finals and by dint of play
ing phenomenal golf through the broiling
sun he defeated Knowles 4 up and 3 to
play. Then of course not desiring to win
a cup which he himself presented the
club in the name of his son, he defaulted
to Knowles and the loser in the final
round will have his name on the cup.
The winner last year was Charles H.
Strong. The cup must be won three
times to become the personal property
of any player.
The Knowles-Adair match was fol
lowed all day. through the terrific heat,
by a big gallery 1 . Knowles had an early
advantage, but by winning fifteen, six
teen. seventeen and eighteen in a row
Adair was one up at lunch time. He
continued to pile up his advantage through
the afternoon and the match ended on
the fifteenth green.
The results in the other flights follow .
Percy H. Whiting defeated W. .1. Tilson,
1 up.
H. .1. Hopkins defeated 1,. P. Scott 2 up.
W. F. Upshaw defeated J. M. Beasley 6
up. 4 to play.
H. L. Graves defeated C. B. Howard by
default.

Dixie’s Ball Player Crop Rivals Its Yield of Cotton
-(-•-J- 4**4*
South’s Stars Now in Majors Make Formidable Team
By Fuzzy Woodruff.
MORE real stars of the base
ball firmament have at
tained major leaguedom
from the Southern circuit than any
one other outfit in organized base
ball. Name# that have grown as
familiar on the score cards in the
two big leagues as the very type it
self were first printed in the box
scores of this circuit.
Many are called each year from
Dixie, and It is a striking fact that
most of those who get the sum
mons that means all to a profes
sional ball player respond to it and
stick. No Marty O'Toole. Rube
Marquard, Russell Blackburn or
Lefty Russell .prices have been paid
for Southern ball players, hut the
men from this section have usually
paid a far mote handsome profit on
the investment than these pluto
cratic personages whose purchase
price runs up to kingly ransom fig
ures.
A study of the rosters of the ma
jor clubs will show the important
part that Dixie is playing in the
pastime.
Archer Came From Atlanta.
Take the catchers for instance.
Beyond question, the best receiver
in the National is Jimmie Archer,
and Archer wore an Atlanta uni
form before he was called to high
er things. Perhaps the premier
performer in the same position in
the American league is Big Ed
• Sweeney, and Sweeney was Arch
er's successor in Atlanta.
But the backstopping glory does
not stop there. It has been but a
few brief seasons ago that Nig
Clarke was considered the most
promising' catcher in the majors
and only the unfortunate tempera
ment of Sid Smith kept him from
staying tn classy company to
which he was twice called.
The pitching list is hardly less
formidable. Russell Ford is among
the best right handers of the world.
Nap Rucker is unquestionably the
peer of any southpaw who ever
pulled on a right-handed glove.
Hub Perdue, the famous Gallatin
squash, can actually win games for
the Boston Braves. Rube Renton •
and George Suggs are the Reds’
only dependable pitchers. Kent and
Ragon, of Brooklyn, won their
spurs in this circuit.
Dygert Almost Won Pennant.
And of the hurlers of yesterday,
who can forget how little Jimmie
Dygert. the first year after he left
New Orleans and joined the Ath
letics was rushed into the breach
when Mack's stars collapsed and,
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY. AUGUST 19. 1912.
single-handed, almost won a pen
nant from Detroit? Handsome
Harry Mclntyre just this year
dropped out of the major circuit
after years of usefulness to both
Brooklyn and the Cubs, while big
Frank Smith has dropped out after
years of brilliant work.
The infield list loses nothing in
brilliancy Ask who is the best
first baseman in the world today
and practically every expert in the
land will stand on his hind legs
and shout ''Jakt» Daubert" up to
high heaven. Young Derrill Pratt
has shown himself a sensation even
with the unfortunate environment,
of being on the pay roll of the St.
Louis Browns.
And the majors are just full of
Southern league third basemen.
There is little Bobby Byrne, of
Pittsburg, who has won his world
series spurs. Over Brooklyn waj
there is "Red" Smith doing duty
at the third corner, while the Bos
' ton Braves have big Jay Kirke
performing a similar function. Lus
ter was loaned the Southern league
when George-Rohe turned the tide
of battle in the historic world se
ries between the Sox and Cubs. He
did this the year after his pur
chase from the Pelicans.

grows in formidability. If the Red
Sox win, the bat of Tris Speaker
will be more largely responsible
than any other factor. Joe Jack
son ranks second only to Cobb and
Speaker as an outfield performer.
For years Rube Oldring has been
a mainstay of Mack, while Bris
Lord has been almost as useful.
Zach Wheat, the Indian, is among
the best, and he has a coming
companion in Hub Northern, now
working with him in Brooklyn.
