NfITIONAL LEAGUE
NOT 15 FAST AS
AHEM
By W. S. Farnsworth.
I- S the American league faster
than the National league?
That question has been asked
a thousand times. Yesterday I re
received a letter from a fan In Rock
Hill asking me to decide a wager
on the above. While there is no
real way of telling which organi
zation is the stronger, it is my opin
ion that the Johnson circuit is far
and above superior to the Lynch
league.
True, there are as many .800 bat
ters in the National league as there
are in the American. But the
American league ha« by far the bet
ter pitchers. And it is the hurling
material that makes the younger
organization the stronger, in my
opinion. '
The National league stood pat
too long. When the American
league began to prosper the Na
tional sewed up every player of
value. But when these players be
gan to enter the veteran class the
managers did not look far enough
ahead; they did not go out and un
earth promising material. McGraw
alone proved the exception.
• • •
a ND all this time that the Na
** tional league teams were
standing pat the American league
was developing players. This is
especially so in the hurling depart
ment of the game. Surely no one
can class the National league pitch
ers, as a whole, with the Ameri
can league boxmen.
Where can the National league
dig up a bunch that compares with
Wood. Johnson, Plank, Coombs,
Collins, Dubuc, Hall, Bedient. Ford,
Bender, Gregg, Walsh, O’Brien and
M ullln ?
Marquard. Richie, Mathewson,
Tesreau, Alexander. Rucker. Lav
ender. Reulbach and Camnitz are
the best the National league pos
sesses. Some of them are coming,
but the old reliables —Mathewson,
Camnitz and Reulbach—naven’t got
very many more seasons left In
them. Rucker has never been able
to show advantage because of being
glued to the Brooklyn roster.
• • •
IT is my opinion that the Ameri
can league will again win the
world's series this fall. Boston will
undoubtedly cop the gonfalon in
the A. L., while the Giants, in my
opinion, will repeat in the N. I.
But the Cubs are every bit as good
as the Giants, and if they should
nose out the New Yorkers, my
weekly Insult will be placed on the
Speed Hoys just the same.
Boston has the best pitching staff
in the country. Wood, Collins. Hall.
Bedt.nt and O’Brien are all mar
vels
Against them the Giants would
have to use Mathewson and Mar
quard practically a!on< Tesreau
right now appears to be going
Stronger than either <.f McGraw's
veterans of last year's title Series
Still, he lacks the experience of go
ing through such a struggle, and
experience is the big asset in such
a series.
The Cubs would probably show
better on the pitching end than the
Giants against the Red S.x Richie.
Lavender. Cheney and R. ulbach
might give a good account of them
solve- Richie would prob.ablv lie
th<- mainstay.
National I* igue batsmen claim
■’Comedian Lew” has got )< -s stuff

he has a fine, quick-thinking Innin
and knows how to hold runners

Golfer Hilton Won’t Have a Cinch This Year
Tech Eleven Will Suffer by Lack of Brawn
By Percy H. Whiting.
HARRY H HILTON, present
golf champion of America,
but a resident of England
and registering from the Royal Liv
erpool Golf club, has reached
America and Is ready to defend his
title over the course of the Chicago
Golf club at Wheaton, 111., in the
amateur championship, which will
be played the week beginning with
September 2—Labor day.
With Hilton is Norman F. Hun
ter, one of the top-notch golfers of
Great Britain. It Is also reported,
though not known for certain, that
John L. Low, who captained the
Oxford-Cambridge team which
played In the United States in 1908,
is In this country and that he will
enter. It will be recalled also that
Norman F. Hunter was a member
of the same team.
These English golfers are playing
steadily and owing to their early
arrival should be thoroughly accli
mated and in first-class trim when
the golfing begins at Wheaton.
The Englishmen will find several
American golfers in fine form to re
ceive them. It has always happen
ed that when the championship was
played at Wheaton Western golfers
have been the whole show. But this
may not happen this year. Jerome
Travers is playing grand golf. He
has been tuning up for weeks over
the course of the Mahopac Golf
club, of Lake Mahopac, N. Y'., and
is said to be playing his best, which
means championship golf. He re
cently holed the first hole of the
Mahopac course. 130 yards, in one
stroke. It was the first time in his
life he ever accomplished the feat
of making any hole in one. and he
considered It a good omen.
Another Metropolitan golfer who
is going very strong is Oswald
Klrkby. He won the New Jersey
title, defeating Travers, and with
luck should got close to the national
finals.
If Klrkby or Travers don’t defeat
the Britishers It will be up to some
of the Westerners, and of the whole
lot by far the strongest is Charley
Evans. He is playing the best golf
of his career and if lie can settle
down for a week at Wheaton he
may send the Englishmen back
empty handed
• • •
Hilton, in rather pour taste it ap
pears, in a recent article in The
London Weekly Budget, poked fun
at Americans because the Ameri
can title is held by an Englishman
(himself), because the one Ameri
can who went to England for the
British championship. Fred Heres
hoff. did not survive the first round,
and because the American born
professional, McDermott, who went
to England for the British open,
did not even qualify. The josh was
started by the fact that Americans
poked tun at the Britishers for their
weak showing in the Olympic
games
V • •
In England and Scotland at big
golf championship events, they use
policemen to keep the crowds back.
• • •
Hon Michael Scott. M. I’., and
H E. Taylor, who had planned to
visit America with Hilton and to
play In the American championship,
have been detained In England b)
business engagements

are hitting, Including yesterday’s games:

Cobb 443 1183 T. 413
Speaker i 458 |lB6 j. 406
Jackson I 442 |l«6 |.375
Collins | 411 1140 j. 341
Lajole ; 303 i 94 ,310
Ty Cobb went to bat eight times In the
double-header with the Senators and
banged forth four safe swats. This .500
clouting boosted bls average a point and
a half and today he Is stinging the pill at
a .413 clip.
Tris Speaker was up four times and
garnered two hits. He jumped a full point
thereby. He is now exactly 7 points be
hind the “Georgia Peach.”
Joe Jackson fell off 3 points yesterday
by falling to get over one hit In five trips
to the plate.
Larry Lajole hit an even .500 for the
day, his trusty wagon tongue connecting
once In two times at bat.
The Athletics didn’t play yesterday, so
Eddie Collins “stood still.”
WALDORF IN BOX
AGAINST BILLS
MONTGOMERY. ALA., Aug. 24
Manager Dobbs has announced that
Elmer Brown, recently purchased from
the St. Louis Browns, will pitch for the
Billikens today and McAllister will
catch. Waldorf and Graham will be the
Atlanta battery. Montgomery is anx
ious to keep its place in the first divi
sion of the league race, while the At
lanta club will try hard to dislodge it
from fourth position.
Manager Dobbs stated last night that
there was no truth in the rumor from
Atlanta that Harold Johns would be
returned to the Crackers, hut that the
hurler would remain with the Mont
gomery team this season and would be
retained for next year.
The Crackers lost yesterday’s game,
2 to 1.
QUALIFY TODAY FOR
DAVIS & FREEMAN
CUP AT EAST LAKE
The golfers of the Atlanta Athletic
club will this afternoon qualify for play
for the Davis & Freeman golf trophy,
a handsome silver cup that Is given by
the well known local jewelers
This Is the fourth year that the cup
has been played for, being a three-year
trophy. In other words, It must be
won three times before becoming the
property of any one.
F. G. Byrd won -the trophy in 1909
and 1910, and W. R. Tichenor won |t
in 1911. As Mr. Byrd is not in the city,
and will not contest In the tournament
this year, no matter who wins the cup
It will be contested for again In 1913.
The players will qualify from
scratch, the club handicaps applying In
the match play rounds.
The first and second rounds of match
play must be played by Augufct 30. the

CALLS will go out soon for the
Tech football players. Coach
J. W. Heisman has been
making his annual trip to Ohio, but
will soon be ready to take up his
duties. And it is likely that, be
cause of the scarcity of material
and the generally poor prospects
out at the Flats, he will make an
earlier and a more vigorous start
than usual.
The need for heavy men. which
arises under the changed rules of
1913, will put the Jackets in a ter
rible fix. They don’t get heavy
men at Tech, somehow. Light, fast
men and quick thinkers there are
always plenty of. But Heisman
has never had enough huskies,
even under the rules that put a
premium on speed and made but
few big men necessary on a team.

Cupid has away of playing havoc
with the University of Virginia
football prospects. Last year, at a
critical moment, Hedley McNeer
Brown married and quit the game.
This year John Forest Goodhue, of
Beaumont, Texas, has married and
has left on an extended trip abroad.
• « •
In addition to Goodhue. Virginia
will lose Finlay, a Chattanooga boy
who started his career at Sewanee.
Except for Goodhue and Finlay, the
entire Virginia team of last year
will be returned. This sounds bad
for Vanderbilt.

The Virginia team will probably
do a couple of weeks of light, early

The University of Alabama team
is counting on the return of only
five of last year’s regulars. They
are Adrian, Hargrove, Van de
Graaff, Hicks and McDowell. Ala
bama has a pretty stiff schedule
and the task of meeting Tech, Mis
sissippi A. & M„ Georgia, Tulane,
Mississippi, Sewanee and Tennes
see in a row would test any team
to the limits. The game with Tech
will be played in Atlanta Octo
ber 12.

The University of Texas football
schedule has just been announced.
This fall the Terans will neither
make any long trips themselves nor
bring any teams from great dis
tances, with the exception of the
University of Mississippi.

It will be noted that the Auburn
team has cut out its usual Texas

Birmingham, one In Atlanta, one fn

UNDEBPROPEB
WOT
By Fuzzy Woodruff.
dark, dank, dismal days
of Winter face Atlanta sport
lovers, even as the summer
has been devilishly desolate. When
the last crack of bat has been heard
at Ponce DeLeon and the baseball
season of 1912 has come to a wel
comed close, the present outlook is
that Atlanta’s only opportunity to
indulge in things of a red-blooded
nature will be to read the sporting
sections, expectorate in the general
direction of the fireplace and. enjoy
gory combat over the checker
board.
It is true that for two brief
months the bearmored heroes of
the gridiron will entertain once a
week at Ponce DeLeon, and there
are those who will pursue the'elu
sive golf ball all season though the
thermometer do its doggondest to
block their efforts, but hoi polio!
was never strong for bearmored
heroes, and a golf ball positively
sickens it.
Game Bad Last Season.
Last winter boxing was revived
in Atlanta, but the dose of digi
talis that put new life in the game '
wasn’t strong enough to last
through. Fora few weeks the fistic
sport prospered in Atlanta even as
the green bay tree is supposed to
do.
Then the game went to the
blooming bowwows. An effort was
made to run two rival clubs. Both
died lingering, iiainful deaths. Then
there was the suggestion that on
more than one occasion the public
was beautifully and scientifically
bunked.
There is ample field for boxing
in Atlanta. The game properly con
ducted would do much to alleviate
the ennui of winter and it might
add some shekels to the pockets of
a promoter.
Game May Be Revived.
It may be that the game will
again be given a shot of nitro
glycerin and emerge from the state
of coma in which it now rests.
But if the game is to live this
winter, Atlanta patrons must be
shown that there are legitimate
business men behind the movement,
who will look after the rights of
their patrons as well as their own
privy purses.
With capable matchmaking and
a set of hidebound rul-es which
must be abided by by both fighters
and promoters, the sport should be
developed to a high standard here
this fall and winter. If this isn't
done, any man who thinks there is
money for him in the glove busi
ness in Atlanta had better-lock his
funds in a safety deposit box and
throw away the key. It will save
him money.
WEISER, CRACKERS' NEW
PLAYER. BREAKS FINGER
Bud Weiser, the hard hitting fielder,
