Charley Stengel Recruit Who Has Made Good in Big League N O S—CHARLEY STENGEL. This is the fifth of a series of ar • .les on youngsters who made good n the big leagues last season.) By Sam Crane. HARLEY STENGEL only i played sixteen games with the Brooklyns last season, i.t from the time he joined the ;b on September 17 until the sea <cn was finished he attracted more attention than any other player on the home team. In his first game as a big ]. ,guer, when he played with the Superbas against the Pittsburg Pi rates, he made four safe hits In fnitr times at bat and drew a base on balls, reaching first base every t ae up. That sensational debut the means of focussing more u ntion on the new recruit than is tally 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 itnied to play the same rattling ume up to the close of the season ■ it distinguished his opening. In the sixteen games he. played th 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 ia appears as if he had one of his most lucky "finds” in young Stengel. Brooklyn fans are surely of that opinion, and the new player will start off next season on Ebbets field, the Superbas’ 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 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 (iwner 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.

Itisbecau.se they have filled their systems with mercury or potash in an effort to cure tiie blood disor der. These minerals cannot cure Specific Blopd 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 neces 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.

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 war, 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 and 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 reas'on of the in tricacies thats 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 io 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 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. 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. 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. 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 mally years as the greatest of all blood pu- fHE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.

JACK KEATING TO REFEREE 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. 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. W. Burke has re signed. Both English and Motto are in swell condition for their affair. They have been working hard since tbeir arrival here and both fit to fight a champion. English has heard that Motto is no bum and he hasn't shirked Ui his training. But Clarence is confident he will' win, and if he does he is going to try to get the local prbmoters 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 sun revcuse 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 NEW 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.

Brookhaven Cl db 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 fUirly 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 .1. K. Ottley cup tour nament will be played Saturday, and there will also be driving, approaching tend 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 l ROME. GA„ Nov. 21.—Friday will be played in Rome a.football game to de cide the championship of the Seventh congressional district. The teams will represent tile Darlington school, of Rome, and the Cartersville High school. The opponents hkve fast and capable teams. Each school has vanquished the other opponents in thte 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 bard 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 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 \V. J. Mcßeth. X TALE ami Harvard are eon j fronted with two great issues in their annual game Satur day. For th.’moment the result of the elassie has assumed secondary importance. The main topic of discussion among the respective followings of the time-honored ri vals entirely eliminates the final result; each university is entirely absorbed with its idol—" Lefty” Flynn or Charley B’rickley, accord ing to whether th.- Blue legion or the Crimson host is gathered to gether. Briekley is on. ~t the g eatest backs that ever donned moleskin for Cambridge. He is more than that —-Jie is one of tie- grandest players .of -all gridiron history. Competent critics Lave declared him the' most Capable warrior of all time. But that seems estimat ing his value too high. It Is quite true that s O far as the Princeton game is concerned, Briekley per formed deeds that would rank with the greatest efforts of any Individ ual in any one game. Still the Princeton battle is liut one of many, and football reputations are more easily shattered than built up. Won Spurs in Tiger Game. Briekley won his -purs' in that game. He need not play so well against Yale us 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 “I,efty” Flynn, brilliant as the latter may be. Against Princeton Briekley was all that could be imagined. He sel dom failed to make his distance through the grim Tiger line, kicked field goals from air distances and from ail angles, with an assurance almost uncanny. Offensively and defensively, his headgear flashed in the thickest of the fight, and before RELIABLE ESTABLISHED 23 YEARS 2&E.G. GRIFFIN’S GATE CITY DENTAL ROOMS BEL t 7O p B HONE 24i/ 2 WHITEHALL ST.

Every good amateur and professional rider in this neek of the woods will ride and the event is sura 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 qf it. They don't charge the spec tator a blooming cent. At the last meet over 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 the proverbial 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 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’Avho 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 Briekley. 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 Briekley passed with flying colors. The Bulldog following admits that Briekley is in a class by him self as a kicker of field goals. But ills honors as 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. Coy a Flynn Booster. Ihe 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 io 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 Briekley 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 lie 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 1 WILL BE FOR THE TITLE BARNESVILLE, GA.. Nov. 21.—Gor- ' don and Riverside, two of the strongest ■ prep school football teams in the state, j 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.
