WORLD SERIES HEROES HUGH BED I ENT—No. 2 . By Harry Glaser. BOSTON fans should be as thankful to Hugh Bedient, the youthful pitcher who iutnphed over the great Mathew son in the fourth game of the vorld’s pennant struggle, as they re to Joe Wood or any other indi vidual of the Red Sox outfit for championship to the Hub. Bedient was oi\e of the big sur prises of the series, it was known that he was a sterling pitcher and ls . was counted on to aid his team materially. Still he was not rated early as valuable as the renowned Wood, and few bejieved him capa ,> of putting up a contest such as he did when he faced Big Six at ds best. Joe Wood is credited with win ning three of the four games that earned the Red Sox players the big <-nd of the prize money simply be ■ause of the system used in compil ing pitchers’ records, one that is not fair under all conditions. Hugh Redient did as much toward win tig the deciding game for the Red s x as Joe Wood, if not more. It”* nas he who started the game and .pl the Giants at bay for seven innings. Then Stahl lifted him x because he wished to use a ■ii hitter. Wood labored only > ,:ee innings to get the verdict and : for the poor fielding of the Giants would have been charged with the defeat of that all-impor tant contest. \ i told. Bedient contributed six ■en innings of as excellent pitch • g as the Red Sox have been fa vored with at any time toward 2 ining them the title. Just two iins were made off him in that stretch, the result of ten hits that nrr widely scattered. In his first game he allowed only four hitsand had the Giants completely baffled w ith his puzzling delivery. In his second appearance against Matty lie was less formidable, but still mighty effective, and although 1 ■ was touched up for six hits in -■ ven innings, the Giants could get nix one man over the plate on him l cause every time they threatened . tightened up wonderfully.

This was his first season with the Boston club, which first introduced him to fast com pany in the fall of 1910, when he was drafted from the Fall River club, with which he made his pro fessional debut.' But he remained in the big league just long enough to hang his hat in the club house. When the 1911 season began Bedient was released to Providence, and became one of their best pitchers, sharing hono:s with Jimmy Lavender, now the Cub's star spitbailer. Jersey City purchased him at the close of the season for $750 and a month later sold him to the Red Sox at a profit of more than $5,000, it is said. Bedient is a New Yorker, inas much as he was born and raised in the Empire state. Falconer, N. Y.. located up in Chautauqua county, is the town that claims him as one of its highly prized citizens, and it was there that he first played the game as a member of a school boy team. Bedient will celebrate his twenty-third birthday tomorrow. The residents of Falconer have laid in a big supply of fireworks in an ticipation of celebrating the event. He was born October 23. 1889. just two days before Joe Wood, his famed team mate, saw the light of day. THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEVVS.TUEiSDAY, OCTOBER 22. 1912. Alpharetta Hurler's Ball Not So Fast, But Its Accuracy Much Better NAP RUCKER BEATEN BY JOHNSON IN SPEED TEST By W. J. ALBeth. SCIENCE has struck at last to the very best of the base ball profession. Scientifically speaking, this scientific game has been placed upon a plane with the most intricate science. No longer will old Bill Irwin, with his water glass and celluloid ball demonstra tions of the spitball for the edifica tion of college professors, be in or der. Science has made this day and generation one of scepticism. We have to be shown. And it is now possible to get an absolutely- accurate line on a base ball player's ability in all matters pertaining to his physical horse power. The first test was made re cently at Bridgeport. Conn., in the factory of a well-known gun firm. Walter Johnson, the crack pitcher of the Washington team, and Nap Rucker, the fork-hand speed boy’ of the Dodgers, were the pioneers of scientific exploitation. That proved ver.y conclusively that it is possible to calculate a player's propelling power. Johnson also established conclu sively that he is the speedier hurler for he propelled a ball many feet faster per second than did the il lustrious Alpharetta southpaw. At a distance of 25 feet Johnson's pitch travels at a rate of at least 125 feet per second, and in many instances, doubtless, more. Rucker, who is re nowned as a "smoke” slinger, does not approach in velocity by ten feet per second. Clark Griffith's stand by. Johnson, without half trying, showed that he was Rucker's mas ter in speed and he stands ready’ to accept any challenge for the championship he won, Joe Wood, of the Boston Red Sox. preferred. The tests of speed of these illus trious pitchers was made with an appliance used to measure the ve locity of the projectiles from fire arms. It is a simple enough ar rangement. in which electricity fig ures very prominently. Across a disc-shaped opening are stretched a number of lightly charged electric wires so fine that the breaking of them expands but an infinitesimally’ small portion of the velocity of a thrown baseball. Five feet behind these wires is a steel plate, also charged. The ball is hurled into the opening. The exact time from the breaking of a wire until the background is hit is registered. By calculating the dis tance of five feet with the frac tional second consumed in travers ing it. the happy result is arrived at. Expert gun men declare that BIG ED WALSH IS GREATEST OF ALL “IRON” PITCHERS That peculiar niche in baseball affairs which is filled by what are known as “iron men " is one that has had few occu pants. The “iron men” of note, real “iron men," have been few and far be tween. The terms is aplied only’ to pitch ers. and means those pitchers whose con stitutions are sufficiently strong to permit them to do more work in the box than most twirlers could stand. Unusual ca pacity for work and exceptional pitching ability are attributes of the “Iron men" on the mound. The first pitcher to whom the term was applied was Joe. McGinnity. and be came into it not so much because of the fre quency with which he pitched as his ca pacity’ for double-headers. To this day’ he goes into the box often and few r pitch ers have worn so well. There are two other leading exponents of the 'iron man” business. One is Ed Walsh, of the White Sox, the most noted of the three, and the other is Jack Coombs. Coombs isn't pitching as fre quently as he did last year, but his capac ity for work, coupled with his skill as a boxman, tided Connie Mack and the Ath letics over many a rough spot and pulled out many a game in which some other pitcher had wabbled. Coombs, like Walsh, could stand being hurled into the breach many a time be yond the ordinary, and then his expert ness on |he peak did the rest. Walsh probably has pitched in more games a year for the length«of time he has been in the game than any other base ball pitcher known. It was predicted halt a dozen years ago that the inordinate wear and tear would get him. but he is still at it. and as effective, if not as strong, as ever. He is a spitball pitcher, too, another thing supposed to be very trying, but he contends that with him that form of delivery is no more exacting on the arm than any other way of pitch ing. SUNDAY BALL LEADS TO ARREST OF LARRY DOYLE NEW YORK. Oct. 22.—Captain Lar ry Doyle, of the New York Giants; Ar lie Latham and "Tobe” Thompson, members of Doyle's "Stars." were fined $5 each yesterday for playing ball here on Sunday The arrest of Doyle and his players followed a game Sunday at Lenox oval. It Is against the law to charge admission to a Sunday ball game in New York. RIVERSIDE TOO STRONG FOR UGHT GORDON 11 GAINESVILLE, GA.. Oct. 22.—Gor don was defeated by Riverside here yesterday’ afternoon, 27 to 7. Hickman, Riverside's tight half, starred, and so did Sidbury and Mc- Neill. Thy stars of the Gordon team were Morris, at left half back; Fillin gim, at fill!, and McWhorter at end. Riverside made three touchdowns in the first quarter and one in the third. The Gordon team braced wonderfully in the second half, and prevented further -coring by Riverside. Gordon scored one touchdown in the last quartet. GREENVILLE TO HAVE CLIMB NOV. 8. GREENVILLE.

Where fore there need be no more argu ments as to speed of pitchers. Let them show in a tussle with this lat est machine. The gun factories should now form an alliance with the baseball magnates. If the word of any scouts should be doubted as to the promise of new material the mogul could journey with the prospect and the scout to the testing machine. It would be a handy place to shoot the scout if the rooky fell down. Speed, of course, is not every thing to the game. That fact de veloped in the test. Walter John son had a great deal more difficulty in hitting the "bull's-eye" than did Rucker. It took four pegs by John son to find the mark. Rucker was more fortunate on his first attempt, but afler that had more or less dif ficulty. Rucker was satisfied after bis trials that Johnson had the more smoke, but he was not satis fied that lie had developed the speed of which he is capable. Here's a tip to summer resort amuse ment promoters frequented by the baseball profession. A speed test ing device would be played off the boards There is absolutely no way to judge speed by the eye alone. Ball players all disagree on this point. The American league believes that Johnson is the fastest thrower in the country. They should know, for they see enough of him during a campaign. But, on the other hand, the Giants, who have just played casually’ against all three, are divided in opinion among John son. Wood and Bender. This interesting phase of the sit uation came up for a great deal of discussion on the special car of the Giants on the way to Boston after the first game of the world’s series. "No sucker in the world ever had the speed of this guy Wood." said Josh Devore. ‘Say. he threw two balls at me that shot by my lung the size of buckshot. All I saw be fore they sung past me was a lit tle blur of white.” “Can that kind of chatter," cut in big Chief Meyers. "You swell out your chest simply because you tied up that first game on Bender last year in the ninth inning. Let me tell you that Wood never had the smoke of that old Indian. Wood has lots of speed, but Bender's the real baby. I've hit against Johnson, too. Nobody ever did have the speed Bender showed us in that first MASS MEETING STIRS UP GROGGY GEORGIA SPIRIT ATHENS. GA., Oct. 22.—A mass meet ing and rally after an overwhelming de feat is somewhat of an innovation In Southern football circles, but this is what took place at the University’ of Georgia last night. More than 600 cheering stu dents packed into the chapel and the greatest display of Georgia spirit ever recorded was manifested on this occa sion. The Georgia team came back from the \ anderbilt game somewhat demoralized and the purpose of the rally was to awaken new interest. Chancellor David C. Barrow was the first to mount the rostrum and he led the Georgia students in the famous old campaign song, "We re the Jolly Georgia Boy’s and Fear No Harm." He then marie one of the most spirited addresses ever heard in the his toric old chapel. Hugh Gordon, head of the local alumni association: Judge George C. Thomas, Professor John Morris and Captain Pea cock then spoke. "Georgia lost, but is not defeated!” was the slogan of the meeting. Before the meeting last night gloom on the campus was so thick it could have been sliced, and both the football team and the stu dents have not yet fully realized how the score of 46 to 0 was made against them. The team has begun its practice for the game with Alabama next Saturday. None of the team was injured in the Tan dy struggle, and this week the Georgia team will go through the hardest practice of the season. LOCUST GROVE LOSES TO STONE MT. ELEVEN LOCUST GROVE, GA., Oct. 22. Stone Mountain defeated Locust Grove here yesterday afternoon. 38 to 0, in a fast, scrappy game of football. Stone Mountain had the ball most of the time, and gained with great regularity. The Locust Grove team lacked the snap it displayed against Dahlonega, and let the other team get the jump on them most of the time. The Stone Mountain players made most of their gains off tackle Nicholson. Ingram and Walker played the best game for Locust Grove, while Struple and Norton played well for Stone Mountain. SUNDAY FOOTBALL GAME MAY RESULT IN DEATH NEW HAVEN. CONN.. Oct. 22. James Lynch, aged 20. of Bridgeport, is thought to be dying here of injuries received in a football game Sunday . He is in a local hospital with a fractured skull. Lynch was struck on the head by a player's knee during a scrimmage. BLOOD POISON Plies and Rectal Diseases. CURED TO STAY CURED.

Tris Speaker, of the Red Sox, who happened to be passing through on the way to the diner just in time to get an earful of the Big Chief's caustic remarks, was pressed for an opinion. "Weir," said lie. "Joe Wood lias about as much speed as anyone I know. Os course. I don't bat against him very much, and am not compe tent to judge between him and Johnson. . But this much I do know. There was never so much speed shown in any game as the one in Boston that day Joe and Walter hooked up. Who had the most steam? Well. I wouldn't like to gay. But as I happened to hit against Johnson. I wish to go on record that nobody, anywhere at any time, ever had any more speed. They may match that fellow, but they can never beat him." Straight talk to men who smoke jimmy pipes The last two years has seen a revolution in pipe-smoking. Prince Albert came on deck with a brand new deal. Here was tobacco with wonderful flavor and fragrance, without a touch of rankness. Here was tobacco that burned long but burned free and steady, that held its fire close and never sogged but burned down to dust-fine ashes. Here was tobacco you could smoke all day and it wouldn’t bite your tongue. Prince Albert brought the first notable improvement in pipe tobacco since the days of Walter Raleigh. It has done more in two years to make the pipe popular than all other smoking tobaccos in a generation. Now, men, we want you to know why Prince Albert is different, why it’s in a class of its own. The reason is the Prince Albert process. This is what makes P. A. what it is. This process was discovered by a well-known German scientist who dearly loved a pipe and experimented with smoking tobaccos as a side line. He knew he had hit upon a big thing in this process. So did we when this company acquired it. Experts were put on the job of perfecting it. The work took three years and cost a bunch of money. But we knew it would make a wonderful smoking tobacco and we had the faith to back it. The United States Patent on this process was granted July 30, 1907. Now, men, this is the showdown. If you haven’t tried Prince Albert, try it now. Put it to the jimmy pipe test. Let the tobacco smoke for itself. Then you’ll understand what this patent Prince Albert process means to you. You’ll know why it has revolutionized pipe-smoking and started two men to smoking a pipe where one smoked before. Fringe Albert “the national joy smoke” You’ll enjoy it rolled up into a cigarette as well as in a jimmy pipe. We tell you, men, here is the real cigarette—so Fu different in freshness, fragrance and flavor that it runs the and the chaff-brands right off the smoke map ! «? You roll up a cigarette of P. A. tobacco and know what's Jy A. doing. Why, it sets a pace for your satisfaction that no ft other tobacco ever can replace. Buy one of the K H handy packages and take a new lease on cigarette joy.
