Twenty-FhT Greatest Southern League Players ♦!•••?• +•+ '!•••? No. 12—Theo. Breitenstein a Real Grand Old Man By Fuzzy Woodruff. WILLIAM " EWART GLAD- 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 torians are probably correct if an investigator Would confine his ef forts to Surrey or Hampshire, or some of those other places where cricket is still considered a sport. Should the searcher for informa tion as to the proper holder of this Antiquity Title happen to visit that land that all baseball players hope to visit before they die—the land covered and inclosed by the Big Tent, he would undoubtedly be in formed that with the exception of Old Cy Young, all the Grand Old Men 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 in 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 pixy a brand of ball in the South that made people forget his brilliant career in the majois. The South is strewn with blasted baseball reputations. Famous old major leaguer after famous old major leaguer, his days of useful ness passed in the big tent has strayed Southward to start anew, only to be driven out of the league by the resistless force 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 nothing left of their glories but their names tn the old guide 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 frequently the league’s premier hurler. So successful was he in this land that efforts were fre quently made to buy or draft him bv big league scouts. But the old veteran knew that the hot South ern sun was responsible for his re iurn to effectiveness and he always • fused to consider any proposal to ■ turn to the scene of his former triumphs. When old Breit came South with Memphis in 1903, he was regarded as a historical freak, who could well be looked on for the privilege of saying, ‘Tve seep him.” That he would make his Southern record was not even suggested. His fame made as a member of the Cincinnati Reds, the story of his sale along with Heinie Pietz for SIO,OOO, all of these things made him a curiosity, but it was doubted that he was a ball player at that time. But 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 the strength of his good left arm. And the hot weather brought the wing around. Before the season closed, the veteran was considered "tie of the most formidable pitch ers in the league. Memphis, with ’’barley Frank as pilot and Bred his 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- TO S l9i/ 2 PEACHTREE STREET UPSTAIRS STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL UNREDEEMED PLEDGES z FOR SALE X xyi > X A^D/v> Z W%l Cures in 1 to 5 days aprtPW S * Gonorrhoea and Gleet.

WOLGAST REALLY WORKS AND HIS STOCK IS SOARING SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 22.—Ad Wol 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 bls quarters in the Seal Rock house today Wolgast went at it with a vim. He devoted himself largely tt> boxing, intending to repeat his strenuous stunts of yesterday 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 heard of the stunts. Hs is also working hard for the fight. BROOKHAVEN CLUB TO OPEN COURSE TOMORROW The Brookhaven club will officially open its golf course tomorrow afternoon, when Mrs. William Lawson Peel will drive the first ball from the opening tee.

BRESNAHAN SEES LYNCH. NEW YORK, Nov. 22. —Roger Bresna han, deposed manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, is here conferring with Presi dent Lynch, of the National league. 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. You see, some of them have come all tin- way from Austria chiefly for your adornment—and that’s a heart to heart interest. Some from New York, and that’s good enough for most good Americans.

NUVEMBKK 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 he had to depend on his cun ning rather 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 grabbed an umpire’s job and stuck it out all season. An even when he wore the blue of the urn 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. FLYNN AND McCARTY SETTLE DOWN TO WORK LOS ANGELES, Nov. 22.—Jim Flynn and Luther McCarty are settling down to training for their scrap December 10. McCarty is working at the Venice au ditorium every afternoon, with Walter Monahan as his training partner and Billy McCamey directing the work.

Many who have used the remedies only a few days report the wonderful good they are receiving. Some eases are stomach troubles, oth ers catarrh, rheumatism, kidney, liver or oladder troubles; hundreds have suf f< ted with indigestion and constipation, mrvousness, weak, all run down, today > e enjoying good health. Quaker Ex tract is in a class by itself for these diseases; it removes the cause; that’s why it eipes where all others have down to victory by an easy mar gin. The much-advertised stars, Char ley Brickley, 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 coach 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 booter; 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.
