TOR DEFEATS 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. YESTERDAY'S GAME. Atlanta — ab. r. h. po. a. e.

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.

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. All these men have won their fame in the twelve years since the reorganization of the Southern league. Go back into the olden time and the list Is just as lumi nous. Fred Clarke, Pittsburg's great leader; Hank O'Day, manager of the Reds; little Topsy Hartsei, who up to last year was Mack's regular sun fielder; Helnie Pitez. for years famous as a backstop; Iron Man Joe McGinnlty, one of the greatest hurlers who ever faced batter; Bill Armour, who managed Cleveland, and so on and on. Other leagues of the, minors can boast better salary limits. More fancy prices may be paid for their players, but from past perform ances the major scouts would do well to look over the Southern be fore their eyes are turned in any other direction in the whole realm of the national pastime.
