Off the diamond Roger is jolly and carefree, of the ‘hail fellow well met” sort whom you can not help but admire and like. it was more than 28 years ago that Roger toddled down the gang plank of a tender at Castle Garden, the infant son of an Irish emi grant. He was not quite four years old at that time, having been born at Tralee, County Kerry, Ireland. One of a large family, poor as ths proverbial church mouse, there were no funds, no influential friends to give him a high educa tion. What teaching he received he gained at the public schools at I'oledo, Ohio, where his people set tled and have lived ever since, and on the sand lots of that city Roger learned the rudiments of the na tional pastime. What he knew when he entered the professional game at Lima, Ohio, he had learned by himself. A “Pro" at Sixteen. He was but sixteen years old at that time, and one of the youngest players in the game. His ambi tion was to become a great pitcher, and he began his career on the mound. In 1897 he was engaged by the Washington club, of the Na tional league,-and pitched for them two seasons. Then he drifted to the Minneapolis club, remained there one season, and played in Chicago the following year. In 1901 came the war between the American and National leagues. That was the year Bresnahan cast his fortune with John McGraw and • joined the famous Orioles of Balti more. When McGraw deserted the Baltimore club and the American league in 1901 Bresnahan was one of the players who came to the Giants with his manager. And THE ATLANTA GEORGI AN AND NEWS.TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 5, 1912. here Roger remained until he be came manager of the St. Louis team in 1909. It was in Baltimore that Bresna han found his true position—be hind the bat. It was the Giants' manager, with his gi'eat ability to size tip a player, who saw where his real strength lay. So Roger was told to take the plates off his pitching shoes and don the mask and big mitt. In a few years he developed into one of the greatest catchers in the land. Kling, of Chicago, and Roger were in a class by themselves. In 1905 he did more than any one man to earn a championship for the Giants. In St. Louis Bresnahan took hold of a team that in 1908 finished last and pulled it up to seventh place in 1909. He also finished seventh in 1910, and boosted the team to fifth place last season. This year the Cards dropped back to sixth place. FRESHIES AND JUNIORS IN TIE GAME AT EMORY OXFORD, GA., Nov. s.—The third game of Emory’s Interclass football se ries were played Monday afternoon. The first game, junior-freshman, proved a surprise when the freshmen held the Veteran juniors to a score of 0 to 0. The star players for the juniors were Saxon and Stewart: for the freshmen, Jackson and Ainsworth. The senior-sophomore game brought out some real football. Both teams went in to win. for the sophomores had not been bested, and the seniors were well on the way to the pennant. At the end of the game the sophomores had 18 points to their credit to the seniors 0. This is the second time the sophomores have beat the seniors, and they have to their credit a victory over the juniors. They have now to beat the freshmen team when everything will be theirs. The stars for the sophomores were Por ter, John Nelson. Murray end George Matthews; for the seniors, Lasseter, Blake and Culver. The most phenome nal playing of the season was put up by Porter and Lasseter. GEERS OFFERED PICK of mckenzie string MEMPHIS. TENN., Nov. s.—Ed Geers, the Tennesseean who ranks with the oldest of race drivers and the best, has been offered the pick of R. J. Mc- Kenzie’s string to race next season. 1 It is not likely' that the G. O. M. of the light harness game will accept the offer of the Manitoba magnate. Mr. McKenzie owns a track in California and winters his horses there. Geers has wintered for years at Memphis, and is a trifle old to change his habits now. Arthur Devlin may manage the Oak land club in the Pacific Coast League, next season. If manager Stallings con sents to let him go to the Braves will get Carl Mltze, Oakland’s star backstop, in exchange. HUGGINS SIGNED AS MANAGER OE CARDINALS • ST. LOUIS. Nov. s.—.

TECH IN GRAND SHAPE FOR GAME WITH TIGERS The Yellow Jackets came out of the Auburn game in better shape than was 1 ( xpected. Bar:ing some minor injuries of .no consequence, every man is readj tor the Sewanee Tigers next Saturday. Tech’s showing against Auburn Sat ill day is evidence that Sewanee has a fierce battle on her hands. Superior weight may probably tell the tale again, and give the decision to Sewanee. Captain Leuhiman will be able to get back into the game again Saturday. Cope's men” will have to travel their best to win. Tech has the most diver sified attack any team has shown here this season. Auburn found it trouble some. So will Sewanee. FIRST GOLF TOURNEY PLAYED ON NEW LINKS Ralph Reid, with a score of 46 for 9 holes, won the first golf tournament ever played over the Brookhaven course.

WAYCROSS BUILDS PARK AND HOPES LEAGUE MAYCROSS, GA., Nov. s.—The site for the league ball grounds here .has been cleared and work will start next week on a modern grandstand and bleachers. The seating capacity will be between two and three thousand. The street car company has so constructed its line as to be in shape to kindle big crowds. Os course, just now Waycross is not in any league nor is there any imme diate prospect that there will be one, but Waycross is playing it safe by building the park now and hoping that the league will come later.

Twenty-Five Greatest Southern League Players -I-*-:- No. 9—Fred Clarke Better Performer Than Cobb By Fuzzy Woodruff. PROBABLY the greatest ball player ever produced by a Southern sun is the least remembered in the clime that gave him bis professional birth. 1 ex pect whoops of loud and biting de rision and mayhap a few guffaws on account of this statement, as the name of Tyrus Raymond Cobb is recalled, but 1 say it boldly—al though admitting that I thereby sacrifice my chances of being elect ed governor of Georgia, mayor of Atlanta or coroner of Fulton—that the greatest ball player ever raised on Dixie soil is none other than Fred Clarke. Cobb undoubtedly has something on the Pittsburg leader as a hitter; he outshines him as a base runner, but in fielding and throwing the . Georgia Peach has nothing on the Southern star of the early nineties. And in temperament, which, after all, is a ball player’s most valued asset, Clarke will be remembered when Cobb is forgotten (I don’t expect to make a trip to Royston very soon». Has Won Four Pennants. Take Clarke’s record. He has won four pennants for Pittsburg. He has. garnered one world's title for the city made famous by An drew Carnegie and Harry Thaw, and while he was doing this he was playing a brand of ball to which the nation doffed Its hat. Had Hans Wagner not been on the same team. Clarke’s glories would be as striking as the rising of the sun after an all night session. But I digress.

To refute this, my father, who was then president of the Mont gomery ball club, always said that he never parted with a player more reluctantly than he did with Clarke. Fred was offered more money with Savannah the next year and transferred his activities there, where he starred as usual. The next season found him in the National league with Louisville. Hi had something of a debut, too. for he rammed out five hits out of five times at bat during the first game. All of which was some debut.
