Twenty-Five Greatest Southern • League Players •**•*»* ***•••* %••••• No. 12—Theo. Breitenstein a Real Grand Old Man By Fuzzy Woodruff. .t T ILLI AM EWART GLAD \/V STONE, if you listen to highbrow historians, has a strangle hold on all the rights, ti tles and emoluments of the job of being ‘‘Grand Old' Man.” The his t irians are probably correct if an investigator would confine his ef forts to Surrey or Hampshire, or some of those other places where , ricket is still considered a sport. Should the searcher for informa tion as to the proper holder of this Antiquity Title happen to visit that nnd that all baseball players hope to visit before they die —the land overed and inclosed by the Big Tent, he would undoubtedly be in formed that with the exception of old Cy Young, all the Grand Old vfen are not even Baby Grand Old Men. But should he turn to the land where the cotton blossoms bloom, where they didn’t start voting the Democratic ticket in 1912, and where they sometimes give up their street car seats and ask the ques tion. he will be branded basely ig norant by even the most unassum ing school boy. For in Dixie near ly all the Grand Old Men of Civil war time have died out and lu their place has risen the grizzled form and stalwart figure of Theodore Breitenstein. Had Big League Reputation. Breitenstein had made an honor able big league reputation long be fore his freckled face was turned Southward. And it is remarkable that Breitenstein was able to play a brand of ball in the South that made people forget his brilliant career in the majois. The South is strewn with blasted tnseball reputations. Famous old jor leaguer after famous old najor leaguer, his days of useful ness passed in the big tent has trayed Southward to start anew, ■nly to be driven out of the league by the resistless fbrce of young blood. Lave Cross’ career was a dismal failure in the Southern league. Harry Vaughn. Tern Par rott and a dozen others who had once been called great were com pelled to turn to the North with notiiing left of their glories but their names in the olcuguide books that everybody loses. Needed Southern Sun. But Breitenstein defied youth. For years and years he was not only one of the strongest pitchers in the Southern league, but he was iiequently the league’s premier urler. So successful was he in :Ins land that efforts were fre quently made to buy or draft him a. big league scouts. But the old veteran knew that the hot South • rn sun was responsible for his re turn to effectiveness and he always ■ fused to consider any proposal to eturn to the scene of his former triumphs. When old Breit came Soutli with Memphis in 1903. he was regarded -a historical freak, who could ■•• ell be looked on for the privilege "f saying, “I’ve seen him.” That he ■ould make his Southern record was not even suggested. His fame made as a member of tie Cincinnati Reds, the story of ; iis sale along with Heinie Pletz for SIO,OOO, all of these things made him a curiosity, but it was doubted that he was a ball player at that time. Rut Old Breit worked carefully. He never pitched a ball with more steam than he had to use. He nev er employed a curve when a fast ball or a change of pace would serve. He was conserving th strength of his good left arm. And the hot weather brought the wing around. Before the season closed, the veteran was considered one of the most formidable pitch ers in the league. Memphis, with ' ’harley Frank as pilot and Breit iis first officer, won a thrilling race from Little Rock. Went to Pels With Frank. Next season Frank transferred his activities to New Orleans. Breit went with him, and though the Pelicans were nosed out of the pen- MARTIN MAY 19% PEACHTREE STREET UPSTAIRS STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL UNREDEEMED PLEDGES y FOR SALE W'h Cure, in 1 to 5 dayr H^FWjpi B ’ Gonorrhoea ami Gleet. ■ H■ * Sa agog Contains no poison and W may be used full strength n absolutely without fear. ‘Uarinteed not to stricture.

Each season the scribes would piophecy as Breit’s last, but he plugged on and on. In 1908 the Southern league saw its most des perate finish between Nashville and New Orleans. The teams met in final combat on the Nashville field. On the last game the pennant de pended. Frank did nut hesitate in picking his pitcher. He warmed up but one hurler that afternoon.

Nov. 22.—Ad WoJ gast’s stock is soaring today as a re sult of the strenuous training the light weight champion is putting in for his bout here Thanksgiving day with Willie Ritchie. At his quarters in the Seal Rock house today Wolgast went at it with i vim. He devoted himself largely to boxing, intending t » repeat his strenuous stunts of yesterdax when he sadly bat tered his sparring partners and sent one of them, Kid Mackey, down for the count. The knockout was sent in with the left. Ritchie smiled as he hoard of the stunts. Fls is also working hard for the fight.

Rich Imported Velour Hats They make good conversation, but they are good enough without words. They’re asking for only a five-minutes confabu lation with you to put their proposition squarely be fore you.

NOVEMBER 22. 1912. only after a 2-1 struggle in which there was honor enough for all. The New Orleans veteran had good years in 1909, 1910 and 1911. He would have probably continued in 1912, but for several seasons the old man had felt the soup-bone cracking. More and .more each year .lie had to depend on his cun ning inther than his brawn. And Now He's an Umpire. Rather than be driven from the game as so many of his old big league comrades had been, he pre ferred to die gracefully. He giabbed an umpire’s job and stuck it out all season. An even when he wore the blue of the um piratical persons, the fans contin ued to call him “Grand Old Man”— and it takes some genius to be a Grand Old Man and an umpire at the same time.

Harvard Rules Favorite Over Yale in Title Game Thousands of Gridiron Fans Flock to New Haven By W. J. Mcßeth. NEW HAVEN, Nov. 22—Thou sands of visitors flocked into town today to attend the an nual football game of the Yale- Harvard teams, which is scheduled for tomorrow. These visitors com prised alumnae from the halls of Harvard, as well as from the marts of learning of old Eli. They over ran the campus, filled the hotels and mingled with the undergrads, where the one absorbing topic was the probable outcome of the great con test. Owing to the f;tct that compara tives cores and other data usually used by football dopesters all point to the fact that tomorrow will be Harvard's day, much (,'iimson mon ey was in evidence, and her back ers are loud in asserting that the Harvard aggregation would roll 88888888888888888888888888888888888888 8 r- —] 8 The Globe Clothing Co IKS3 The Globe Clothing Co ■ 8 v 7 " - 8 8 8 8 IJlk 8 8 JR ZRk 8 8 - • W A ' <4 " H u ~ 8 2:1 fx i mHmi * mW 1 V X wiijK y .wig « *•* V Ci f X. inßa ' W't; -afiy «* s f -Wix-WOIISiti .

Many who have used the remedies only a few days report the wonderful good they are receiving. ■ Some cases are stomach troubles, oth ers catarrh, rheumatism, kidney, liver lor bladder troubles; hundreds have suf | t’ered with indigestion and constipation, j nervousness, weak, all run down, today • are enjoying good liea’th.

The much-advertised stars, Char ley Brinkley, of Harvard, and “Lef ty” Flynn, of Yale, will probably again come under the limelight in the coming contest, for the play this season has brought its eoach ers decisively to believe that the one and only effective way of ad vancing the ball against a. defense of the highest class is to boot it. Both the Yale and the Harvard de fenses are unquestionably of the highest class, and each team pos sesses a top-notch hooter; so the winning of the big game of the year tomorrow is expected to raise kicking to a higher degree of im portance than ever before in the history of football. Harvard Best at Kicking. For the booting game, Harvard seems to possess a slight edge, as | tailed to even give relief, and when you remove the cause you cure the disease, and that is the way Quaker makes It a complete and permanent cure. Here is a report from Mr. J. VV. Sparks, who re sides at 117 Ponce DeLeon place, and is employed as watchman at the English- American building. He has been a con stant suffeter for the past five years witft catarrh of the stomach, kidneys, indigestion, dyspepsia, all of which was caused from catarrh of the head. He could scarcely eat‘any substantial food, as it caused that awful distress: “Like a lump of lead in the pit of my stomach, bloating, belching, palpitation of tlio heart, shortness of breath, dizzi ness. moi< or less headache, I would have to get up at night three to the times. I suffered with much pain across my back; many times I thought I would have to give up work I have taken al most everj tt' iimei.ii I e\ . heard of or i she does in the defensive game, the offensive game, the rushing game and the open play game. While “Lefty” Flynn may be the most brilliant of the long-distance punt ers, the Harvard end, with dyna mite in his toe, was proved him self the more reliable, and there fore the more valuable man. And when Harvard regains the ball aft er Felton has punted into the ene my's territory, the Crimson has in Briekley the best man in the world for drop kicking the rest of the way to the goal posts. Felton and Briekley are ha nd-and-glove at working the punting in conjunc tion with the drop kicking game. Not only is their punting better than Yale's, but either of Brtckley’s substitute drop kickers, Hollister and Milholland, can pinch kick for him in better style than Yale's best man in this department read about; in fact, 1 have taken enough medicine to drown tnyself in. it I had it all In one vat. without ever get ting a cure. Yes, I can say many of them never even gave the slightest re lief. 1 was getting very despondent, having to spend my money this way for years, and got no benefits whatever. I called at Course} <St Munn's drug store, got one bottle of the Quaker Extract, and I want to say to the sufferer that it did me more good than all the medi cines I have taken in all my life. It's worth Its weight in gold, and 1 feel t»t last I have found a cure." His is one more proof of what Quakes Remedies will do.
