"The Georgia Team Must Be Rebuilt," Says Coach Cunningham
ATHENS PROSPECTS FAIR, BUT NOT BEST EVER

6. MALONE Full back last
year, a firat-year man.
6. MINNEHAN —Full back who
alternated with Malone.
7. TUCK-—End Had played four
years on team.
That means a pretty heavy loss,
as anybody will admit. Woodruff
was one of the South's best play
ers, and not a man in the lot fail
ed to make his mark in Southern
football.
Os those seven there is no ques
tion. Not one will return unless
miracles are worked
...
] N addition to the seven, several
1 men are in doubt. They are:
1. DELA PERRI ERE Last year’s
center, who was playing his first
year. He will probably go into busi
ness and give up college.
2 LUCAS Three years on the
team a.s a guard. He will possi
ble return to take post-graduate
work in engim .-ring.
3 YORKE Tackle for the past
two years His case is uncertain,
but there is no certainty that he
will be back.
...
JJAVING dwelt on the sad part
of the story, it is time to
turn to the brighter side and to
. insider the material from which
1 ’" ieh Cunningham must build his
team. Here is the list:
1 Peacock—Captain and guard
of last year’s team. He led a crew
of Gooigia men down Into south
Georgia on a. peach-picking trip
this summer and has turned up
tn good condition.
2 McWhorter—Halfback. Enough
said He is the best In the South
it) his position.
8. 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 sdveu
regulars and returns six.
...
there are some
other men who were in col
lege last year, but who did not play
but who are counted on for this
year. Such a list is always an un
certain thing, but here’s the best
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-ln
college rule.
3. Conyers—3os |>ound guard of
last year’s scrub team.
4 Arnette Sub tackle last year
n Wood Bub tackle last year
6 Crump—Sub half last year
' Broyles—Sub half last year,
s White 200 pound guard of
last year’s freshman team.
9 Sheffield A tackle who was
ineligible last year because of the
one-year-in- college rule.
10. Price—A guard on the fresh
man team last year A good man
• • •
\ ND finally there are soma new
* ‘ men,expected, who will doubt
less turn up with all their work In
su.’h shape that they can play this
year. Here is this list:
1 Smith—Captain of Riverside
last year. IL- was one of the all-
G* orgia prt p ends last season.
Powell—Left halfback on Riv
erside team last year.
J. T, Woods Played end for
Locust Grove prep team last year
I John Wheatley—End of the
Stom Mountain team
Hauser—Tackle last year of
the Stone Mountain team

tain may come around But there
will be few changes from this list.
It couldn't be said that the pros
pects of the Georgia team, on the
strength of the showing indicated,
are the best in the world. A team
that loses seven men and returns
six will virtually have to be rebuilt.
Also the loss of Woodruff will be
more severe than the average spec
tator at the average game realizes.
It is largely up to Coach Cun
ningham. And as he has demon
strated that he is a wizard at the
coaching game there is little doubt
but that he will turn out a team
that will give a wonderfullv good
account of Itself in Its big games
witit Tech, Vanderbilt and Auburn.
‘‘Man Behind the Bat” Has Put Red Sox on Top
■S’*+ •j-S’F
Bill Carrigan Brains of Boston's Pennant Winner
By W. .1. Aft-Beth.
The "Man Behind the Bal’’ has
won the American league pennant
for Boston, just as the ‘‘Man Be
hind the Gun" won the Spanish
war for Uncle Sam. Os course it is
assumed that the penhant IS won
—it is beyond a reasonable doubt.
When the war was over and the
admirals and general received the
plaudits, a certain distinguished
citizen said it was not the admirals
or the generals yvho deserved them,
but the "Man Behind the Gun.”
And the "Man Behind the Gun” be
came the hero. So neither the
lenders nor the stars, but the "Man
Behind the Bat" has won the pen
nant for the Red Sox.
The "Man Rebind the Bat” Is
"Fighting Bill" Carrigan.
Why Carrigan Is a Here.
These are the reasons why
"Fighting Bill" Carrigan is the
greatest h" o of them all:
1. He has trained and is the boss
of the most efficient pitching corps
in the world.
2. He is the schemer, the dic
tator and the master of the Red
Sox defensive play.
3. He is one of the schemers
and the dictators and the mas
ters of the R e d Sox offensive play.
4. His are the “inside baseball”
brains of the coming pennant win
ners.

Carrigan: he’s the man.”
All of them, big and little, are
unanimous. They know more than
the fans know, because they are on

Crackers Mingle With Billy Smith’s Lookouts on Monday
VOLS BID FAREWELL TO ATLANTA FANS TODAY
THE last Saturday game of the
Southern league season is
on this afternoon at Ponce
DeLeon. In this game the cohorts
of Manager Sehwart::, of Nash
ville, will 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
did it? Bill Carrigan.
A dozen would-be pitchers re
ported to the Red Sox this spring,
including those who were on last
season's roster. Carrigan took
them in hand. He taught them
hotv to make the best use of their
abilities and schooled them in all
the fine arts of baseball —for Carri
gan is a master of the game.
There yvere no Walter Johnsons,
Ed Walshes and Christy Mathew
sons or any other stars to start
yvith. But today Wood. Collins,
Bedtent and Hall are winning a
greater percentage of their, games
than dny of the famous stars.
M ood, 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 yvtn a pennant with
out what 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 the strenuous big league
campaigns. Their rigid posture
takes the limberness out of their
muscles All of the veterans are
slow, compared with the other play
ers But Carrigan blocks oh' 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 ovc:.
but he does not drop the bail, and
the runner is out. He is absolutely
without fear. The runner must
beat the 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 yvho gave the Gate City the
only pennants they have won in
the history of the 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 la-st named classi
fication that the performance
pulled off by the Nashville and At
lanta players yesterday belongs.
The players w-ent 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 yvorld’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 yvas as refreshing
as a drink of water.
It happened that Nashville won.
But 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 yvas
immaterial. They did play ball,
too —and Nashville won, 1 to 0.

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 Volunteers. 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.
AValdorf, 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
- lops to throw out an obstreperous bleach
er fan. As he went, somebody yelled.
