Figure the Cost
A saving of 50 cents per ton now
means a saving of several dollars on
the winter's coal bill.
Isn’t it worth while to you?
But when coal goes up. it often jumps
to i dollar nr mor« per ton higher
than the present price. And if a bliz
zard strikes coal is apt to go several
dollars higher. But a strike is the
worst price raiser of all. You doubt
in'.. remember. The moral is, buy coal

Atlanta'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. Farnsworth.
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 1 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
hands. 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.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN
Then I sat down and began to
listen —excuse me. 1 mean began to
ask Billy Smith questions. He
never jabbers unless asked ques
tions. He is as silent as a Provi
dence Bay little neck.
"Suppose you are glad to get
back to Atlanta." was my first lead.
(All this time my right hand was
under the chair the fingers glued
together as though they were one
and all.)
"You bet." he said.
"Think Atlanta will be up in the
race next year?”
"Hope so.”
"Made any plans yet?”
“Nope.”
And that is all Billy had to say
about the team.
Fact of the matter is, Smith

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 21.—Al Ku
biak. the heavyweight who resigned
from the local police force to re-enter
the prize ring, will probably have to

failed to "come back." Gunboat Smith
outpointed Kubiak in a six-round go
last night, although the Michigan giant
had the advantage of 25 pounds in
weight.

BARBER SHOP NOW
RUN BY A. VARENA

k. VARENA.
A. Varena, the popular barber, who
has been a resident of Atlanta for
many years, and who has for the past
several years operated the barber shop
in the Rhodes building, where he has
built up a splendid business, has pur
chased the shop in the Georgian Ter
race hotel, which he will operate in
connection with his other place.
There is no more popular barber in
Atlanta than Mr. Varena, and the class
of workmen he employs, together with
his personal supervision, guarantees for
the Georgian Terrace a barber shop
second to none in the country.
(Advertisement.)
hasn't had time to look over the
ground.
• But he isn't much of a talker,
anyway.
* * *
O ILLY and ('lark Griffith are
great friends. And you never
saw t«o men who looked so much
alike. Griff has taken on a heap
of weight since he was here last,
and shapes up just like the At
lanta manager.
And they talk a heap alike, too.
Couldn't open 'em up with a can
opener.
♦ * *
D ILLY and President Callaway
will leave the city the latter
part of next week for Washington.
Billy expects to put over a deal
with Griffith whereby the Crackers
will get an outfielder and a pitcher.

| F the Atlanta players show as
much pep and ginger next spring
as the board of directors—Nunnal
ly. Ryan and Callaway—do right
now, there,will be nothing to the
nice but the crackers. The "Big
Trio" jabber their heads off talk
ing about next year’s team.

American league are hitting:

got two safeties out of three attempts.
Lajoie secured one single out of four
trips to the plate. Collins did not play.
SAVANNAH CAN SECURE
BIG CUP RACE NEXT YEAR
SAVANNAH, GA., Sept. 21. That Sa
vannah can secure the Grand Prize and
Vanderbilt cup races in 1913. if the city
desires to stage these great automobile
events again, is the opinion of Harvey
Granger, of the Savannah Automobile
club, who has just returned from New
York, where he was in touch with of
ficials of the Automobile Club of America
ami of the American Automobile associa
tion
Granger bases«his statement on the fact
(lull Milwaukee lias fallen down in her
effort to pull off the races on scheduled
time, whereas, on the three occasions that
the races 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.
I GEORGIANS ONI
YANKS’ INFIELO
Ntnyffl -
You may look for two native Geor
gians starring in tin- Yankees’ infield
next year, for Harry Wolverton has
just turned a trade bv which he se- '
cured Claude Den ick. the old Unlver- ,
sity of Georgia star, from Detroit.
Tommy McMillan, who scintillated at I
Tech just before Derrick began to shine
at Athens, has cinched his place at
shortstop for the Yankees, and those
who know of Derrick's s-bility when i
given a real test are pretty sure that he :
will win a regular place, very likely at
second base, his natural position.
Derrk k 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
Jack Batrv. but did lairlv well as a.
substitute for them. Connie Mack is,
said to have thought very highly of the :
boy's future, ami it was with reluc- i
tance that he let him an to Baltimore
I "t month in the desperate effort to
streiigllK n the Athletics' outfield by the
addition of new talent.
Dei rick has boon burning 'em up in,
th,- International league, batting heav-J
ilv and fielding well, and was gobbled
up in the draft by Detroit. Jennings
■ - lav swapped him to Now Yoilci
for Catcher McKee.
