"The Georgia Team Must Be Rebuilt," Says Coach Cunningham
ATHENS PROSPECTS EAIR, BEIT NOT BEST EVER
By Percy 11. Whiting.
THE chief difficulties about giv
ing a pre>-«eason estimate of
a football team are these, ac
cording to the views of Coach W.
A. Cunningham, head coach of the
University of Georgia teams.
1 College men are prone to say
they will not return and then to
show up in good order on opening
day.
,2. men are so uncertain
that nobody in the world can tell
about them
3. The men you count on most
strongly often fool you.
• ♦ •
ATI’KALLY. in the face of
N tbw-e ditth ultie- nobody not a
prophet or a lunatic would try to
* say what the exact outlook Is for
the University of Georgia team
this fall.
About as close an estimate as
could- be made would be summed
up after thi« fashion A lot of
corking good men of last year's
foam will not be back, a lot of aw
fully good ones remain, and a lot
who are tremendously promising,
but equally uncertain, are coming
in.
• • •
'I HE Georgia team will report at
■* Athens September 11 After that
real estimates can be mad-
The candidates will all be housed
under the same roof this year A
large dormitory near the gymna
sium is ready for them. They will
have the exclusive use of It. It
will tie, for the fall months. Foot
ball hall. The house is removed
from the noise of the city, and is
away from the rest of the stu
dents. In It will be the mess hall,
where the men will eat.
This footbell building is located
near the gynin.isium, where the
team men will have two large lock
er rooms, with rubbing rooms and
drying rooms right at hand Show- '
er baths and tire swimming pool are
in the same building. These build
ings an beautifully located on a
high hill, overlooking the athletic
field.
Do these seem immaterial points
in the estimate of the Georgia team
for 1912? Perhaps Hut they show

i N addition to the seven, several
1 men are In doubt. They are:
t. DEI.A PERRI ERE Last year's

2. LUCAS —Three years on the
team as a guard. He will possi

work in engineering.

will be back.

of the story. It is time to

Coach Cunningham must build his
team Here Is the list.
1. Peaoock—Captain and guard
of last year’s team He led a crew
of Geo gla men down into south
Georgia on a peach-picking trip
this summer and has turned up
In good condition
2. McWhorter—Halfback. Enough
said He is the best in the South
In his position
3. Bowden—Halfback
4. Harrell—Tackle
5. Parrish—End.
6 Sancken—He alternated with
Woodruff at quarter last year
These are all the regular varsity
men who are counted on to return
' In other words, Georgia loses seven
regulars and returns six.

MATI'RALLV there n < some
other men who wet, in col

but who are counted on for this

possible guess, as made by Coach
Cunningham himself:
1. Morris —He was In Georgia
last year, but Ineligible as he had
played at Dahlonega He plays at
half or full.
2. Mise —He was ineligible last
year on account of the one-year-in
coiicge rule.
3. Conyers—3os pound guard of
last year’s scrub team
4 Arnette Sub tackle last year
5. Wood Sub tackle last year

1 Broyles— Sub half last year
8. White 200 pound guard of

'.i. Sheffield A tackle who was
ineligible last year because of the
one-year-in-college rule.

Crackers Mingle With Billy Smith’s Lookouts on Monday
VOLS 818 FAREWELL TO ATLANTA FANS TODAY
r | SHE last Saturday game of the
j Southern league season is
on this afternoon at Ponce
DeLeon. In this game the cohorts
of Manager Schwarts, of Nash
ville, wiil hook up with the luck
less Crackers. Owing to the fact
that the Volunteers have a slight
bickering set for Sunday afternoon
at Memphis, the game will be
blessed (or cursed, as you happen
to view it) with an early start.
Then, after a day of rest, Bill
Smith will lead his Lookout club
here for the final series of the year
in Atlanta.
It may not be so much of a se
ries in a baseball way, since it will
while the Red Sox of 1911 fifth?
There are several reasons, such
as the return to form of Heinie
Wagner, the appointment of Jake
Stahl as manager, and the SUC
CESS OF THE PITCHERS But
the principal reason is Carrigan,
and Carrigan is deeply associated
with all the other reasons, partic
ularly the success of the pitchers.
The improvement this year is in •
a better regulated offense, but
more than that in a superb defense.
The greatest factor of the defense
is the pitching staff. To repeat—
the Red Sox have the most efficient
pitching staff in the world. Who
diij it? Bill Carrigan.
A dozen would-be pitchers re
ported to the Red Sox this spring,
ineluding those who were on last
season’s roster. Carrigan took
them in hand. He taught them
how to make the best use of their
abilities and schooled them in all
the fine arts of baseball—for Carri
gan Ts a master of the game.
There were no Walter Johnsons,
Ed Walshes and Christy Mathew
sons or any other stars to start
with. But today Wood, Collins,
E -client and Hall are winning a
greater percentage of their games
than any of the famous stars.
Wood, in fact, has become a star.
He has won a greater percentage
of games than any other pitcher of
1912. And the others will be stars.
So much for the pitchers. But
Carrigan, with Wagner. signals
the defensive tactics of the team.
Concerted action is necessary, and
the concerted action has to be dic
tated by a man on the field. Car
rigan has a survey of all the field
and all the bases in front of him
and he knows what to do. The
others watch Carrigan.
A Master of “Inside” Ball.
No team can win a pennant with
out whjt is known as "inside”
baseball. Carrigan is the chief “in
side" baseball man of the Red Sox.
He has educated every member of
the team individually, as well as
collectively, too. and they have con
fidence in him.
As a backstop on the field. Car
rigan is a marvel. He is far from
fast. No catchers are speedy after
a few years of service behind the
bat in rite strenuous big league
campaigns. Their rigid posture
takes the limberness out of their
muscles. All of the veterans are
slow , compared w ith the other play
-1 ers. But Carrigan blocks off the
home plate like a stone wall. He is
tenacious When a runner dives
into the plate. Carrigan stands like
a rock. He is usually bowled ovei.
but he does not drop the ball, and
the runner is out. He is absolutely
without fear. The runner must
beat lhe ball to beat Carrigan.

mark the clashing of the two worst
teams (or the "worst two,” if that
lets them down any more gently) in
the league.
But it means the return of Billy
Smith to Atlanta for the first time
since it has been announced that
he has closed to manage the Crack
er club for the next two years.
You all know what that means.
It means so much that it will not
be surprising if the largest Mon
day crowd of the season turns out
to welcome back to Atlanta the
man who gave the Gate City the
only pennants they have won in
the history of tlie present league.
Swell Performance Yesterday.
Sometimes diamond artists play
ball to win pennants, sometimes to
earn their salaries and sometimes,
though rarely, for the sheer joy of
the playing.
It was in. the last named classi
fication that the performance
pulled off by the Nashville and At
lanta players yesterday belongs.
The players went into the game
as happy as a bunch'of school boys
and they put a performance to
their credit that wouldn’t have
looked bad in a world's series.
Probably because nothing mat
tered—winning, losing, tying or
postponing—they played their best.
There was a slap and dash to the
whole thing that was as refreshing
as a drink of water.
It happened that Nashville won.
Rut that wasn't the .main point.
Neither team has more to lose or
less to win than a hobo. How the
thing ultimately turned out didn't
cut any figure. They were out to
play ball and what came of it was
immaterial. They did play ball,
too —and Nashville won, 1 to 0.

\d Brennan, the Phillies' diphtheria
patient. is out of quarantine but will
not play any more this year
in Nashville, he let one run get
over in the first Inning. And then
he lost the game 1 to 0. despite the
fact that Atlanta made more hits
than the A 7 olunteers. It may also
be recalled that Fleharty furnished
the opposition that day.
Yesterday’s game was an exact
duplicate. Fleharty and Waldorf
were the opposing pitchers. In the
first inning the Volunteers scored
a tally. Considered in the light of
recent games, that one run didn’t
look any bigger than a gnat at an
elephant show. But gradually, as
inning after - inning passed and
there was no more scoring, It grew
in relative size until in the ninth
it was as big as the moon.
How Only Run Was Scored.
The way this one run was made
was thusly: In the first inning
the irrepressible Jud Daley bit off
a single, right off the bat as it
were. Lattimore died in a good
cause and J. Daley went forward a
peg. Welchonce hit one to Wal
dorf and was retired at first, but
on the putout Daley advanced once
more. Then came that ’decrepit
veteran, Colonel Clayton Perry,
who delivered a single and pushed
across the deciding tally.
All the rest of the afternoon
there was rip-roaring baseball, but
neither side could score.
Waldorf, the most profusely ex
ecrated of Atlanta's pitchers, really
hurled great ball. The gusty young
right-hander made no mistakes
after the first inning. The Vols
were in the hollow of his hand.
But they had with them their one
run and they didn’t need any more.
Fleharty also pitched masterly
ball. He got in a few tolerably
tight holes, but he didn't stay there.
Somehow he always managed to
wriggle out, due in several cases
to useful fielding by his supporting
cast.
At Pittsburg the other day it took four
