Twenty-Five Greatest Southern League Players *•+ -I-*-!- -*••* •b*-b 4-*-b No. 6---Daubert, Kicked Around Dixie, Big Show Star By Fuzzy Woodruff. TUDGE WILLIAM KAVANAUGH in his annual report made to J the Southern league members jch spring will declare that the ganization that he heads is about ie classiest little thing ever as sembled under a minor league ban ner. The sentiment will be greet fl once a year by some hip-hip hooray stuff from Messrs. Calla way. Woodward. Coleman. Hirsig. Jones. Hervey, Andrews and Frank, who are more or less interested in the aforementioned organization. It is the one subject on which they agree with an unanimity that would have been typical of a Re -1 itbliean convention before Bob La- Follette discovered the word “Pro gressive” and T. R. snatched it as his own most prized possession. But it is hardly possible that these gentlemen could grow so en thusiastic, even after one of those famous Southern league dinners, as to rise on their hind legs and claim that the league headed by the smil ing and affable Kavanaugh has it on the American and National leagues in class just like Sarah Bernhard possesses talents that lit tle Emma Bunting could hardly as pire to. Daubert Was Kicked Around, And yet it is written —and writ ten boldly in Southern league his tory—that Jake Daubert was kick ed around this circuit just like Champ Clark's houn’ during the Baltimore convention Jacob now is the subject of col umns of tribute in the major league press. Experts proclaim him the greatest first baseman who ever performed. The glories of Anson, Brouthers, Carey. Tenney. Davis. Chance—yea. even the glory of Chase —have been eclipsed by this star of the South. But the fact remains that for two seasons Mr. Daubert remained in these parts and there was no weep, no wail, no considerable gnashing of teeth when the news of his purchase by Brooklyn was published. Daubert came South in the good \ ear of 1908. Chase had just revo lutionized first base play by his marvelous left-hand performances. Every major league manager looked > arefully and favorably on south paws who had any taient for play ing the initial sack accordingly. Port-sided infielders had suddenly become all the rage, just like the hobble skirt and initiative, refer endum and recall. Gift to Bili Bernhard. Nap Lajoie was handling the destinies of the Cleveland club, and he had dug Daubert from the gloomy regions of some bush league as a first base experiment. It didn’t take him more than a minute to decide, however, that George Sto ' all was not ripe for the can. nor Daubert for classy company. That year Lajoie’s old side kick. Bill Bernhard, was making his bow as a Southern league manager, holding forth at Nashville. When ' 'leveland reached Nashville on the way home to open the season, Dau b?rt was left in the Tennessee cap ital for Bernhard to ripen and make the most of. Daubert’s fielding was brilliant, though in his Southern league days he was riot a Chase by a few hun dred yards, to say the least. And, more than that, he seemed lament- Brown Heather-Mixture Js Conservative Cut $22.50 —Muse’s . «*>■ il 7 I fa : When you have read the words I f/ contained in the caption of—-and \-. 4 j||®& observe the dignity of the gentleman who illustrates this ad. you have the '••%? wB i i ' ®§l?r O lbw .OW : whole story. |W a® And yet. not ail— beyond the ~j I ■*’*’«J- ,| ' beauty of the color, the dignity of ? the lines, the very conservative price. -*•ss£■ Wbß : /1 and MUSE quality—-you may yet JI have the MUSE guarantee of perfect \ fit. good wear, and the pleasant and ** perfect MUSE service. ’** Geo.

He can’t even hit down here.” When Daubert was claimed by Cleveland, after Nashville had land ed the pennant, the South simply said that railroad fare was being wasted. He would have to be sent back in a few months. As far as the Nap management was concerned, the South’s judg ment was correct. Daubert did not stay in the Ohio city long enough to learn that Tom L. Johnson was that metropolis’ most prominent citizen. Babb Took Castoff. He was sent to Toledo, but the Mud Hen leader couldn’t see him with a spyglass, and he was put on the market. Charley Babb, of Memphis, was in dire straits for a first baseman. In fact, Babb was in dire straits for every kind of a ball player. He grabbed Daubert up, and the left-handed Jake was once more enrolled on a Southern ball team. Scouts infested the section that year. A dozen promising young sters were scheduled to go up, but Memphis looked so bad that few of them visited the Bluff City. Old Larry Button took a chance and paid railroad fare to Red Elm park. That night he wired C. Her cules Ebbets, president of the Brooklyn Baseball club, that he had found the first baseman of the age. He came mighty near telling the truth. FODDER FOR FANS hrank C<, *nce says that if the no-booze clause is stuck in the players’ contracts it ought to go for National league meet ings, too. "I went to one once,” §aid Chance, “and about all I saw was a bunch of drunks. I didn't go to any more.” ... The Appalachian league has forbidden the Asheville learn to withdraw from its circuit. The mountain city was keen to get Into the Carolina association. This move by the Appalachian undoubtedly makes Asheville good and sore. . » « A careful study of Horace Fogel s re ply to the charges that he accused the umpires of throwing games to the Giants leads one to believe that he can’t write any better now than he could when he was in the newspaper business. * • • "Brick” Owens, National league umpire, says he will travel the West this winter in the interest of Jimmy Clabby.

At that, both he and New York might do materially worse. « . * George Mcßride has signed his 1913 con tract with Washington. The terms were satisfactory—which means that George won a raise. ■ SI > Jack Dunn has already decided on his pitching staff for Baltimore next year. THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS Daubert reported, but there was a mountain in his way. Tim Jordan had for several sea sons been occupying first base for • the Dodgers, and it seemed about as easy a task to remove Jordan from that spot as it would be to make Atlanta forget that Jim Woodward ever existed. He had smashed more fences than any other major league player, and was the one bright spot in the sec ond city of Greater New York. Jordan’s Sun Sets. Daubert showed jp for practice and Jordan's sun began to set. The southpaw Southern leaguer cov ered more territory. He thought quicker. He was far more sure on wild heaves and, wonder of all wonders, he made Brooklyn forget that Jordan could hit. From the minute he donned his Dodger uniform, he forgot his Southern league reputation as a mark for hurlers and began pound ing the pill to a fare-you-well, which place is located somewhere near Armageddon, and only T. R. knows where Armageddon is on the map. Jordan was soon shipped to To ronto. and Daubert was placed in sole possession of the first pillow. .He is there now. He’ll stay there for several seasons, and. looking back on the South, he probably will murmur something about a proph et not being without honor save on his own stamping ground. For Daubert, once despised in the South, is now’ premier first base man of the whole bloomin’ world, which includes the South and cer tain sections of Brooklyn. The men are Shawkey, Vickers. Danforth, Roth and Banker. • • • Heinie Zimmerman won the Chicago Examiner's popularity count with some thing over two million votes. Charley Murphy got 900 votes, which was eleven more than was awarded Red Galllgher the Cubs' bat boy. It is believed that both Murphy and Galligher voted for themselves. * ♦ * R. W.

AUBURN'S HEAVY LINE FEftRED IN JACKET CMP With the opening signal practice Mon day afternoon at the flats, the Yellow- Jackets started on their last month of football, and if they can finish the month with an even break, they will have done wonderfully well this season, considering the "nucleus” of old men and the small amount of material to be drawn from. Next Saturday they will go up against their old-time rival. Auburn, and from all indications this is not the year for the Jackets to sting the Alabama boys. Last year was the opportune time and but for a lucky catch of a forward pass by Newell, an Auburn substitute, Tech would have come out on top Last year Tech gained more than a hundred yards more ground tnan Auburn, was penalized more and punted for the most number of yards, xpt the game went the other way. Tech has plugged up these little defi cient points, but can they carry the ball down the field this year as they did last year? Can Tech’s light ends break the onslaught of Auburn’s magnificent inter ference .’ Last year Patterson, on all-Southern choice for two years, backed up the line for Tech with 190 pounds of as good man as there was in the South. Goree, an all-Southern man and a bril liant player, played a side back and helped Patterson in stopping Auburn’s line bucks. Sanchez, an extra good player of 185 pounds, played one defensive end. with Thomason and Black playing the other. These men were four-year men. all weigh ing more that! 170. Take a glance at the defensive men this year. Hutton backs up the line. He is a good low tackler, with plenty of nerve and a good head: but —weighs 163 and his first year on varsity. This is but one instance, but Tech has never gone into a game with colors droop ing. and dope is worthless when calculat ing on a team that has an unknown quantity of "never die" spirit, and the score may be different from what seems the inevitable.

Georgian: Dear Sir: "A," one team; "B," an other. “A” kicks from one-yard line toward "B's” goal. Ball goes fifteen yards, bounces back across goal, and "A” can not touch it until “B” has, and “B” didn’t touch it until it crossed the line, then fell on it. Please render de cision. * This occurred in a game at Emory. No decision was made except that “B” was given ball on one-yard line. T. B. M. It seems incredible that a ball could bound back fifteen yards after a kick, but anything is likely to happen when a football hits the ground, so it is pre sumed that the ball bounded back with out touching players of either side. In this case it was clearly a touchdown for "B." If the players of the "A” team had a chance to fall on the ball before it got over the goal line and didn't, they pulled a bone and cost themselves a touchdown.
