Charley Stengel Recruit Who Has Made Good in Big League N O. S— CHARLEY STENGEL. This is the fifth of a series of ar t cles on youngsters who made good ,n the big leagues last season.) By Sam Crane. Ca H ARLEY STENGEL only played sixteen games with the Brooklyns last season, 0 . from the time he joined the b on September 17 until the sea vas finished he attracted more attention than any other player on the home team. In his first game as a big leaguer, when he played with the s' !S ..rbas against the Pittsburg Pi ra ts, he made four safe hits in ; ( ,ur times at bat and drew a base or. balls, reaching first base every . , up. That sensational debut wa-> the means of focussing more v.tention on the new recruit than is isually accorded a youngster, no matter how promising. That might have feazed some less nervy play e- but not Stengel, who thrived on •he spotlight notoriety, and he con ’inued to play the same rattling same up to the close of the season distinguished his opening. In the sixteen games he played v, th the Superbas, Stengel failed to jte 1 a safe hit in but two contests. President Ebbets had been fortu nate in securing promising play ers before, but ia appears as if he had one of his most lucky "finds” in young Stengel. Brooklyn fans are surely of that .pinion, and the new player will start off next season on Ebbets field, the Supefibas’ new home, al ready established as a popular fa vorite. This should result in his favor, if his laudation is not over done. Worked Hard to Succeed. Stengel was obliged to take his time and to go through many dis paraging experiences before he reached the goal of his ambition and became a regular player on a big league team. The first record obtainable of him is when he went or trial with the Kansas City club n the spring of 1910. He did not make a very good impression with Owner Tebeau and he was released to the Kankakee club in April of •hat year. It was evident by his early release that he was not given a fair chance to demonstrate bis ability. ND MERCURY-ND POTASH BUT A CERTAIN SAFE CUBE Do you know why so many Specific Blood Poison Victims are also suf ferers of stomach trouble or Rheumatism? It is because they, have filled their systems with mercury or potash in an effort to cure the blood disor tier. These minerals cannot cure Specific Blood Poison; true such treat uient will sometimes temporarily remove the outward symptoms and hold the poison in check but as soon as the minerals are left off the disease eaks out again. Any system saturated with mercury or potash is neces arily weakened and loses much of its resistive powers; it is a dangerous .treatment and should be'left off by any who are using it. There is away —a certain way —to cure Specific Blood Poison, and that is to cleanse the blood with S. S. S., madeentirely of roots, herbs and barks. It is a perfectly safe treat ment for any one and is certain in its good results. S. S. S. has been recognized for ” many years as the greatest of all blood pu rifiers and the safest of treatments for blood poison. Home Treatment Book and medical advice free.

PARKS=CHAMBERS=HARDWICK 37-39 Peachtree Street n COMPANY r Atlanta, Georgia MOTORCYCLE RACES The Kankakee manager did not appreciate the youngster's worth, and later in 1910 he was shifted to Shelbyville. He was with the Au rora club in 1911, and it waS then that he first attracted the atten tion of one of President Ebbets' scouts, and the latter drafted him for the Brooklyn club. But Sten gel was not fixed even then. Eb bets could find no opening for him in the Superba outfield and re leased him to the Toronto club. Manager Joe Kelley passed the youngster along to the Montgomery dub, of the Southern league. It •was in the Alabama capital that the much shifted youth first began to shine, and then he forced his ability to be recognized. Stengel Attracted Scouts. His heavy batting a,nd good all around play attracted the atten tion of many scouts of 'big league clubs and he was in demand for the first time in his career. But the Brooklyn club, by reason of the in tricacies that surrounded baseball and minor league players at the time, still held claim to his serv ices, and when the Montgomery club paid off at the close of the Southern league season President Ebbets recalled the youngster and he reported at Washington park September 17, giving him the op portunity of making his sensa tional debut. It appears now as if he was at last firmly fixed as a regular on the Brooklyn team. He was played in center field by Manager Dahlen and Immediately showed his worth. H-is fielding was up to high class right from the start. He made an excellent side partner to the Speedy Zach Wheat, who had long needed an associate fielder who could cover as much ground as he can. It was in batting, though, that. Sfengel flashed. He surely had the punch. He made three home runs that were sandwiched in among the eighteen safe hits he gathered in the sixteen games. He also made nine runs. His batting av erage was .333. His record with the Superbas at bat was: Games played, 16; at bat, 54; runs. 9; base hits, 18; home runs. 3; av erage. .333. Stengel is a left-handed batter and thrower. He has a good arm and is fairly fast on the bases. He will fill in with the Superbas next year in great shape. T.he play er with the punch is always a val uable man to any club and Stengel has demonstrated that he can sting the ball. THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. ’THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21. 1912. KEATING TO HEFEREE BOUT TOMORROW J ACK KEATING, the Canadian* heavyweight who was beaten ' by Carl Morris the other night, is going to stick around At lanta for a while.

Tomorrow night the Canadian heavyweight will make his debut as third man in the ring, for he will officiate at the English-Motto ten round affair. C. W. Burke lias re signed. Both English and Motto are in -well condition for their affair. They have been working hard since their arrival here and both fit to fight a champion. English has heard that Motto is no bunt and he hasn't shirked tn his training. But Clnrence is confident he will win. and if he does he is going to try to get the local promoters to secure Ray Bronson for him. Ray defeated English a few weeks ago in a slashing light. English ad mits that he was beaten, but says he wasn't at his best that night. He is confident that he can reverse the dope in another mill. The semi-windup tomorrow night will bring together Baker and La ville, the two boys who fought a swell battle at the last sjiow, BOXER DIES OF HEART FAILURE BEFORE FIGHT NEW Y< >RK.

Brookhaven Club to Open New Golf Course Saturday Afternoon The Brookhaven club will officially open its golf course Saturday afternoon, when Mrs. William Lawson Peel will drive the first ball from the opening tee. The nine hole course is in fairly good condition, and there is no reason why it shouldn't in time be developed intd one of the best courses in the South. The finals in the J. K. Ottley cup tour nament will be played Saturday, and there will also be driving, approaching and putting contests. Scotty McKenzie, golf professional of the club, has worked hard to make Satur day's program an interesting one. “Mac" will probably do some fancy work with the clubs himself. He has developed a green squad of golfers in less ’•than a month's time so that now Brookhaven has at least a dozen men who play good golf. CARTERSVILLE PLAYS DARLINGTON FOR TITLE R' ’All'.. GA.. Nov. 21.-- Ftiduy will be played in Rome a football game to de cide the championship of the Seventh congressional district. The teams will represent the Darlington school, of Rome, and the Cartelsville High school. The opponents hav • fast and capable teams. E t,ch st In.o] has vanquished the other opixmcnts in the district, and the rival teams have also met each othei once this season in a. 0 to 0 tie. The fait that neither side could score in a long and hard fought contest on No vember 8 is the best evidence that the victory Friday, if one is secured at all, will be won by a close score. The closeness of the teams in playing abil ity has been indicated during the past few years In the last seven games played between the schools, the Dar lington points have totaled 31. while those for Cartersville havfi amounted in •II to 24. Two of the contests have been ties. Darlington has Won three and ‘'artersville two. WHEN FLYNN MEETS BRICKLEY FUR WILL FLY By W. J. Mcßetli. X TALE and Harvard ar- v qn- | fronted with two great issues in their annual game Satur day. For the moment the result of the classic has assumed secondary importance. The main topic of di.-icussioH among the respective foliowings of the time-honored ri vals entirely eliminates the final result, each university is entirely absorbed with its idol—" Lefty" Flynn or <'ha. lev Brickley. accord-, ing- Io whether the Blue legion or the <'rimson host is gathered to gether. Brickley is one of the greatest uacks that ever donned moleskin tor < ambridge. He is more than that—he is one of the grandes, players of all gridirpn history. Competent critics have declared him the most capable warrior of aii time. But that seems estimat ing his value too high. It is quite true that so far as the Princeton game is concerned. Brickley per formed deeds that would rank witli the greatest efforts of any individ ual in any one game. Still the' Princeton battle is but one of many, and football reputations are more easily shuttered than built up. Won Spurs in Tiger Game. Ik iekley won his -purs in tnat game. He need not play so well against Tale as lie played against the Tigers to go down in the an nals as a star of the first constella tion. His worshippers maintain that against Yale he will be even bi'tte ■ Such form would undoubt edly prove detrimental to the chance of "Lefty” Flynn, brilliant as the latter may be. Against Princeton Brickley was all that could be imagined. He sel dom failed to make his distance through tlie grim Tiger line, kicked field goals from all distances and from all angles, with an assurance almost uncanny, offensively and defensively, his headgear flashed in the thickest of the fight, and before f— " ™"™'i ■—< RELIABLE ESTABLISHED 23 YEARS 1 2&E.G.

Every good amateur and professional rider in this neck of the woods will ride and the event is sure to sur pass the corking program of sports that the club gave about five'weeks ago. The best thing about the Motor cycle club is that they run their races for the pleasure they get out of it. They don't charge the spec tator a blooming cent. At the last meet ot«er 3,000 persons saw the races, and it is expected that twice that number will be on hand Sat urday afternoon. The track has been rolled this time and will be as hard as tha proverbial rock. At the last meet, on a track that was kpee deep in dust. Harry Glenn rode rue track in half a second slower than the world’s record. This time Harry is confident that he will smash the mark to smithereens. But Harry isn’t going to have things all to himself this time, for Hal Gilbert, one of the cleverest drivers in the country, has entered all the events in which Glenn is scheduled to start. And little Ollie Roberts will be in the same events, too. And those who saw Ollie ride before know that he always "keeps ’er in the high.” his rushes the foe always gave ground. Flynn, too, has won his epaulets. But not after the fashion’ of Brickley. The Crimson back, should he quit tomorrow, would have acleved honors enough for one year. “Lefty” has never been put to the severe test through which Brickley passed with flying colors. The Bulldog following admits that Brickley is in a das', by him self as a kicke of field goals. But his honors us a line plunger are disputed, while Old Eli’s sons de clare that Flynn will more than offset this advantage through his other great kicking proclivities. They figure him the equal, if not the superior, of Harvard's. Felton as a punter. | C°y a Flynn Booster. i The fire of Yale enthusiasms over Flynn has been fanned by Ted Coy, a recent acquisition to the coaching staff of Now Haven. Coy is simply enraptured over the pos sibilities of this green fullback. Ho | says that Flynn in tin Harvard game will outrival himself when I Ted was at his best And Ted was one of the greatest line plunging backs in the history of the Blue. Coy will devote his entire atten tion to the schooling of Flynn it up to Saturday afternoon. And it is possible that two days is plentj of time for this wizard to bring forth a champion fit to hold his own in the lists with Brickley at his best. DOBSON OF CLEMSON MAY QUIT AT END OF SEASON CLEMSON, S. C., N<>v. 21.—Frank Dob son, coach or' the Clemson football team, may not be back at leader of the Tigers next fall. The Clemson authorities are satisfied with his work, but he has offers that will net him more money than his present position, and it seems decidedly probable that he will accept one of them. GORDON-RIVERSIDE GAME WILL BE FOR THE TITLE BARNESVILLE, GA., Nov. 21. —Gor- don and Riverside, two of the strongest, prep school football teams in the state, will meet on the gridiron here Friday afternoon in what promises to be the most bitterly contested prep game of the Georgia season. The outcome of this game will have a direct bearing upon the prep school football championship of the state. If Riverside 'wins, it will have practi cally a clean title to the honor. If Gor don wins. Riverside, G. M. C. and Gor don will be hooked up in a triple tie, TRAVERS HEADS LIST. NEW YORK, Nov. 21.—Jerome D.
