Charley Stengel Recruit Who Has Made Good in Big League NO. S—CHARLEY STENGEL. This is the fifth of a series of ar ticles on youngsters who made good in the big leagues last season.) By Sam Crane. C 5 HARLEY STENGEL only played sixteen games with z the Brooklyns last season, it from the time he joined the uh on September 17 until the sea- Sv , n was finished he attracted more tention than any other player on Hi,- home team. his first same as a big !»nguer, when he played with the superbas against the Pittsburg Pi mter. he made four safe hits in r.iur times at bat and drew a base ~n balls, reaching srst base every >.? up. That sensational debut' was the means of focussing more attention on the new recruit than is usually accorded a youngster, no natter how promising. That might have feazed some less nervy play er. but not Stengel, who thrived on the spotlight notoriety, and he con tinued to play the same rattling game up to the close of the season t at distinguished his opening. In the sixteen games he played with the Superbas, Stengel failed to get a safe hit in but two contests. President Ebbets had been fortu nate in securing promising play ers before, but la 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 Superbas’ new home, al . ady 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 couraging 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 on trial with the Kansas City club in 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 that year. It was evident by his early release that he was not given a fair chance to demonstrate his ability. - ■ ■ | ND MERCURY-NO POTASH BUT A CERTAIN SAFE CURE 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 I their systems with mercury or potash in an effort to cure the blood disor der. These minerals cannot cure Specific Blood Poison; true such treat ment will sometimes temporarily remove the outward symptoms and hold the poison in check but as soon as the minerals are left off the disease breaks out again. Any system saturated with mercury or potash is ngces sarily 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., made entirely 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 I and medical advice free.

Street ] COMPANY EZ 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 club, 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 he recognized. Stengel Attracted Scouts. His heavy batting and good all- j around play attracted the atten tion of many scouts of big league clubs ami 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. His fielding was up to high class right from the start. He made an excellent side partner to the speedy Zacn Wheat, who had long needed an associate fielder who could cover as much ground as he can. It was in batting, though, that Stengel 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. Ills recbrd 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 nex£ year in great shape. The play er with the punch is always a val uable man to any club and Stengel has demonstrated that he can sting the ball. rllE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 21. 1912. JACK KEATING TO REFEREE BOUT TOMORROW JACK KEATING, the Canadian heavyweight who was beaten by Carl Morris the other night, is going to stick around'At lanta for a while. Jack wants to get another chance to show that he is some fighter. And while he is waiting for another scrap he is go ing to earn his bread and butter by refereeing at the Dixie Athletic club. 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. IV. Burke has re T signed. Both English and Motto are in swell 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 bum and he hasn’t shirked in his training. But Clarence is confident he will 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 fight. 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 show. BOXER DIES OF HEART FAILURE BEFORE FIGHT NEM YORK, Nov. 21. —Frederick Merten, a clerk, eighteen years old, had put on the gloves last night for an ex hibition bout with Thomas Holmes, a driver, nineteen years old, at the Cen tury club, recently organized on the upper west side. Merten was walking to the center of the ring to shake hands when he reeled and fell against Holmes. Holmes thought Merten was joking and shoved him aside. He fell to the floor dead. A hospital physician declared that death was due to heart failure induced by excitement. DALTON SHADES HAYES IN BATTLE AT WINDSOR WINDSOR, ONTARIO, Nov. 21 Jerry Dalton, of Jeffersonville, Ind., was conceded a slight advantage over I “Chick” Hayes, of Indianapolis, after I eight rounds of boxing here last night. They met at 122 pounds. In the semi-final Jimmy Brennan, of Chicago, knocked out George Leatham, of Nova Scotia. In the fourth round. KLAUS WANTED TOO MUCH FOR FIGHT WITH PAPKE PITTSBCRG. Nov. 21.—Frank Klaus, the local fighter, is ( n his way home from Paris, according to word received here today by friends. Klaus was to have met Billy Papke in a twenty-round engagement there December 4, but the French promoters claimed the local fighter wanted too much money, so called off the bout. GIBBONS IS BESTED BY McCARREN IN SHORT GO ■ PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 21.—Jack Mc- Carren, of Allentown, Pa., was given the popular decision over Mike Gibbons, of St. Paul, in their six-round bout here last night. Brookhaven Club to I Open New Golf Course I 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 into 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 ROME. GA . Nov. 21. Friday will be played in Rome a football game to de cide the champion-hip of the .Seventh congressional district. T.lie, teams will represent the Darlington school, of Rome, and the Cartersville High school. The opponents have .fast and capable teams. Each .school has vanquished the other opponents in the district, and the rival teams have also met each other . once this season in a 0 to 0 tie. The < fact that neither side could score in a long and hard fought contest on No veiplier 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 have amounted in all to 24. Two of the contests have been ties, Darlington has won three and Cartersville two. WHEN FLYNN MEETS BRICKLEY FUR WILL FLY By W. J. Mcßeth. YALE and Harvard are con fronted with two groat issues in their annual game Satur day. For the moment the result of the classic has assumed Secondary importance. The main topic of discussion among the respective followings of tlie time-honored ri vals entirely eliminates the final result; each university is entirely . absorbed with its idol—" Lefty” ;| Flynn or Charley Brickley, accord •l ing to whether the Blue legion or tlm Crimson host is gathered to gether. Brickley is one of the greatest , backs that ever donned moleskin for Cambridge. He is more thtin that-rdxe is one of the grandest players of all gridiron history. Competent critics have declared him the most capable warrior of all 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 with the greatest efforts of any individ ual in any game. Still the Princeton battle is but one of many, and football reputations are more easily shattered than built up. Won Spurs in Tiger Game. Brickley won his spurs in that gamp. He need not play so well against Yale as he 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 better. 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 the grim Tiger line, kicked field goals from all distances and from all angles, with an assurance almost uncanny. Offensively and defensively, his headgear Hashed in the thickest of the fight, and before RELIABLE ESTABLISHED 23 YEARS “E.G.

Every * good amateur and professional ride in this neck of tile woods will ride ami the event is sure to sur pass lite corking program of sports that tlie club gave about five weeks ago. The best thing sibout tile Motor cycle club is' that they run their races for the pleasure they get out of it. They don't cltaige the spec tator a blooming cent. At the last meet over" 3,000 persons saw the laces, and it is expected that twice that number will be oil hand Sat u rd ay . a f t e rn oon. The track has been rolled this time ami will be as hard as the proverbitfl rock. At the last meet, on a track that was knee deep in dust, Hairy Glenn rode the 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 driveis 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 aeieved 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 class by him self as a kicker of field goals. But his honors as a line plunger are disputed, while Old Eli's sons de clare that Flynn will more than offset this advantage through hisi other great kicking proclivities. They figure him the equal, if not tint superior, of Harvard’s Felton as a punter. Coy a Flynn Booster. The fire of Yale enthusiasms over Flynn has been fanned by Ted Coy, a recent acquisition to the coaching staff of New Haven. Coy is simply enraptured over the pos sibilities of this green fullback. He says that Flynn in the Harvard game will outrival himself when 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 right up to Saturday afternoon. And it is possible that two days is plenty 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.. Nov. 21.—Frank Dob son, coach of 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. I GORDON-RIVERSIDE GAME ' WILL BE FOR THE TITLE; BARNESVILLE. GA., Nov. 21.—Gor-'J 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 ro be the most bitterly contested prep game of the Georgia season. Tile 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. and Gor don will be' hooked up in a triple tie. TRAVERS HEADS LIST. NEW YORK, Nov. 21.—Jerome D.
