Manta’s New Manager Doesn’t Talk Much, But He Sure Can Shake Hands
BILLY SMITH IS ABOUT AS NOISY AS A FUNERAL
By W. S. Farnswortli.
WENT, up to see Billy Smith
yesterday. Never had met
him before, but consider him
one of my best friends now. Fact
is, thought I had known him all my
life five minutes after I-had been
introduced by President Callaway.
Put out my trusty right to mitt
him and, well haven’t got the fin
gers pried apart yet. Billy has
such a taking way when he shakes
bands. Thought mine was being
squashed to a mass of jelly as he
put a strangle hold on it.
"Glad (ouch!) to meet (ouch!)
you (ouch!). Mr. Smith,'' I said be
tween twangs of pain that made
me think the fingers were being
amputated.

ask, Billy 'Smith questions. He
never jabbers unless asked ques

"Suppose you are glad to get
back to Atlanta." was my first lead.
(AH this time my right hand was
under the chair, the fingers glued
together an though they were one
and all.)
"You bet,” he said.
"Think Atlanta will be up in the
race next year?”

"Made any plans yet?”
“Nope,”
And that is all Billy had to sa.<'
about the team.

Standard Atlas. It contains interesting descriptions of the world’s large cities,
I gives their latest population and shows their locations on the map; it acquaints

certainly be profitable to all.

SAVANNAH CAN SECURE
BIG CUP RACE NEXT YEAR
SA\ ANN.\H. GA.. Sept. 21. That Su
vannah can secure the (hand Prize and
Vanderbilt cup races in 1913, if the city
desires to stage these great automobile
events again, is the opinion of llarvey
Granger, of the Savannah Automobile
chib, wlio lias just returned from New
York, where he was in touch witli of
ficials of the Automobile Club of America
and ot tlie America’, Automobile associa
tion.
Granger bases his statement on Hie fact
that Milwaukee has fallen down in her
effort to pull off the races on scheduled
time, whereas, on the three occasions that
the Klees have been run here, everything
was ready on the minute. The result, he
says, is that Savannah is being talked of
all over the country as the only place in
the country where these events can be
properly staged.
2-GEOREUNS ON
I«KS' INFIELD
NEXT YEAR
Yon may lyok for two native Geor
gians starring in the Yankees' infield
next year, for Harry Wolverton has
just turned a trade by .which he se
eured Claude Dei rick, the old Univer
sity of Georgia star, from Detroit.
Tommy McMillan, who scintillated at
Tech just before Derrick began to shine
at Athens, has cinched his place at
shortston for the Yankees, arid those
wiio know of Derrick's ability when
given a real test are pretty sure that he
will win a regular place, very likely at
second base, bls natural position.
Derrick was substitute infielder for
the Athletics for several years up to
the middle-of August. He never had a
chance to supplant Eddie Collins or
.Tmk Bauv. but did fairlv well as a
substitute for them. Connie Mack is
said to have thought very hnthly of the
boy's future, and it was with reluc
tance that he let him iro to Baltimore
last month in the desperate effort to
strengthen the Athletics’, outfield by the
addition of new talent.
Derrick lias been burning 'em up in
the International league, batting heav
ily and fielding well, and was gobbled
up in the draft by Detroit. Jennings
yesterday swapped him to New York
for Catcher McKee.
