SOMEHOW players don’t last
very long in the Southern
league. There was but one
piayer in last year’s league who
had been there as long as eight
. onseeutive years. There wasn’t
but one who had been in the
I. ague the year it opened, consecu
ively or any other way. and that
was Stanley, of New Orleans.
Going back to even the compara
tively recent date of 1903. only a
f, w names appear that appeared
also in the roster of 1912 —notably
Campbell and Swann. The rest of
the 144 players listed in the books
, f [he league are scattered to the
four winds. A few were in the big
leagues last year—Al Bridwell and
Har'-y Mclntyre, for instance (but
banging on there by threads so
• lender that in "Handsome Harry’s
se it didn't last out the season);
others have become umpires, nota
bly Breitenstein; still others have
become managers Molesworth,
Punch Knoll, Otis Stockdale (who
didn’t last) and Harry Mathews;
another one, Bob Kilks, is scouting;
a couple—George Winters and
"Dusty Miller—are tending bar;
and at least one, Bobby Cargo, is
dead. .
rllE league’s veteran, as has been
observed, is Otto Jordan, with
eight consecutive years of service
to his credit. Close behind are two
remarkable performers. Jud Daley
and Clayton Perry, who have played
for seven years in' a row in the
Southern. Os course, in Daley s
case he spent part of last year in
the big leagues, but he got back to
the Southern in time to put In 23
games.
Here are the other veterans:
Six Years of Continuous Service—
Warren, Seabough.
Five Years of Continuous Serv
jce_Rohe, Baerwald, Sentell. Mo
ran, Johns, Fleharty.
Four Years of Continuous Serv
ice-Hyder Barr, George Case.
\tEXT to Jordan’s record, that of
IN Clayton Perry stands out as a
ecord-breaker for consistency. For
seven years Perry has played sec
ond and third base, usually third,
with various Southern league
teams. In that time he has played
for Montgomery, three years; Lit
tle Rock, one year; Chattanooga, a
year and a half; Nashville, a year
and a half. In that time he has
taken part in 942 games, an aver
age of slightly less than 135 games
i< year.
Perry has never been the fielder
that Jordan is, but has acquired a
presentable fielding average of .942
for the seven years.
Neither has Perry ever been a
notable batter. His best mark is
286. He has been as low as .207.
Perry has never shown a flash of
brilliancy in all the seven years,
but he has been a good old plug
ger—and he’s good yet.
• » »
■ N every way, except for head
* work, Jud Daley has been a re
markable performer, a better bat
ter than Perry or Jordan, and a
brilliant fielder. Jud played two
years with Shreveport, one with
Mobile, three with Montgomery and
the end of last season with Nash
' ville.
For seven long years Daley has
been the idol of the bleacherites of
■ ight Dixie cities. He is one of the
few players who can "kid the
bleachers” and bscape with his life.
He is always there with the quick
'■etort, and when he can't think of
mything else to do lie can pull
down sure hits that bring the
bleacherites up standing and wring
curses from opposing players and
managers,
Daley has never had a poor year
with the ash and in 1911 managed
'o get through the season with the
highly respectable total of .306.
Daley’s fielding averages have'
•ver b. vn amazingly high, but that
has been because he iias tried for
i' ythlng from pop flies to the
infield to home runs over the fence.
Dae ot Daley’s weaknesses has
been his inability to steal bass.
•I" has speed to kick away and
' he has neve had any luck at
11 Also he is likely to try to steal
first, any old time, or, second,
with the bases full.
In Jud's record Is one amazing
bit of consistency. Two years in
succession he made 131 hits. Also
m 1907 he averaged exactly a hit
f»‘r game. 131 swats In 131 con
tests.
(r EnR ' :I ' RoH E is one of the
b-ague old-timers who is wor
,’ V of some attention. George has
led seven years in the leagm .
but only five w/re in succession.
During the interval (1906 and 1907)
he departed for the rarefield cir
cles and lingered long enough to
write world’s championship his
tory.
•In glancing back over the records,
one piece of team consistency crops
out. For three years in succes
sion the Birmingham team has
preserved its combination of first
baseman, second baseman and
shortstop intact, with McGilrray,
Marcan and Ellam. And with the
same three it will start next sea
son. No wonder the Baron infield
oozes along with so few bobbles.
The records of three notable old
timers of the league are here pre
sented:

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY, JANE ARY 1. 1913.
City of Roses Is Lemon Ball Town; So Why Let If in League?
KNOXVILLE HAS BIG EDGE OVER LITTLE ROCK
By Cole Morgan.
IS it absolutely necessary to take
in Little Rock to fill the Mont
gomery gap in the Southern
league circuit’.’ Maybe it isn’t.
There is a good chance to fill the
gap on this side of the Mississippi
river with a city as large as either
•Montgomery or Little Rock and one
with which the other cities of the
Southern league—dr a majority of
them —are better acquainted. That
city is Knoxville.
Take u look at the map.
Little Rock is 133 miles west of
Memphis—the nearest Southern
league connection, and Memphis is
now on the western edge of the
circuit. From Little Rock to At
lanta—the eastern extreme —is 552
miles.
Take another look at the same
map. •
Knoxville is no farther east than
Atlanta. It is no farther north than
Nashville. It completes a square
of approximately 200 miles with At
lanta. Birmingham and Nashville,
while Chattanooga is practically in
its center. There is ha|f the league
in close touch with Knoxville.
Here are distances from Knox
ville and Little Rock to the seven
Southern league cities:
From
Knoxville.
Chattanooga Hl miles
Atlanta 186 miles
Nashville 216 miles
Birmingham 254 miles
Memphis 424 miles
Mobile ’ 530 miles
New Orleans 609 miles
From
Little Rock.
Chattanooga 446 miles
Atlanta.'. 552 miles
Nashville 370 miles
Birmingham 385 miles
Memphis ..133 miles
Mobile 517 miles
New Orleans 529 miles
The average is 333 miles from
Knoxville and 419 from Little Rock,
an average difference in Knoxville’s
favor of 86 miles.
Rail Schedules 0. K.
Knoxville's railroad schedules
are in the main as convenient from
a baseball standpoint as could be
desired. Here they are:
Leave
Knoxville. Arrive -
6:45 p. m.. . .Chattanooga 10:00 p. m.
6:10 a. m... .Atlanta 11:55 a.m.
9:05 p. m... .Nashville 6; 15 a. m.
2:00 a. m... . Birmingham 10:15 a. m.
6:45 p. m.. . ( Memphis 8:00 a.m.
2:00 a. m... .Mobile 6:55 p.m.
4:29 p. m.... Mobile 4:12 p. m.
2:00 a. m... .New Orleans 8:45 p. m.
2:10 p. in.... New Orleans 9:10 a. m.
Only Mobile and New Orleans
are isolated points, with the neces-
sity of missing a playing date on
account of the long jump. But the
Sunday jumps can be made with a
night’s rest for players after reach
ing their destination.
Schedules to Knoxville follow:
Arrive
Leave. Knoxville.
Chattanooga 10:00 p.m... 1:25 a.m.
Atlanta 6:55 a. m. ..12:06 p. m.
Nashville 9:30 p.m... 6:45 a.m.
Birmingham 6:05 p.m... 1:25 a.m.
Memphis 8:00p.m... 8:25a.m.
Mobile 8:05 p.m... 2:00 p.m.
New Orleans 7:30 p. in... 2:00 p. m.
Every jump to Knoxville can be
made without missing a playing
date.
Knoxville Some City.
Population figures warrant tak
ing Knoxville into the circuit. The
1910 census gave Knoxville, within
the incorporated city, 36.346, against
38,136 for Montgomery. But
Knoxville he.s four incorporated
suburbs, as Kirkwood is of Atlanta.
These suburbs had, in 1910, suffi
cient population to bring Knox
ville's total to 45,000, with 30,000
•erved by trolley lines outside the
corporate limits. Knoxville has not
extended Its corporate limits in fif
teen years. Chattanooga's incorpo
rated city jmd suburban population
was 48,000, with an unincorporated
population about the same as Knox
ville. City directory census figures
for 1912 show the two cities within
5,000 of the same figures, and both
directories are published by the
same company.
Is Live Ball Town.
For four years Knoxville has
been developing the baseball fever.
In 1909 tiie Charleston Sally league
team was transferred to Knoxville
for the second half of the season,
when Chattanooga was also in that
league. Knoxville was dropped
when Chattanooga went into the
Southern league in 1910 and the
Sally was cut down <o six clubs.
In 1910 Knoxville held the main
berth in the Southeastern league. In
1911, when the Southeastern split
up, Knoxville fans organized the
Appalachian league in East Ten
nessee, which has run two seasons
and is ready to start the third.
The club owners in Knoxville
have finished each of the past four
« seasons with a net surplus in the
treasuries.
Park Is a Good One.
The street railway company at
Knoxville has an established base
ball park, now used by the Appa
lachian league. It is reached by a
double-tracked car line, free of rail
road grade crossings or other ob
structions, and but 20 minutes ride
from the downtown center.
Bill Smith knows how good a
baseball town Knoxville is. He
played there for years before he
went to Macon’s Sally, league club.
Jim Fox. of Columbus, got his start
there. "Humpty" McElveen was
discovered there. Hyder Barr was
found in the same place. Other old
. Knoxville players are in leagues
higher up.
Knoxville, by the way, was in the
old Southern league for a brief
spell back in 1896.
The Southern moguls can find
worse hall towns than Knoxville,
and Little Rock is one of 'em.
MILLION AND A QUARTER
SPENT FOR GOLF BALLS
Charles Kii liner, golf manager for
the firm of A. G. Spalding & Bros.,
who is in Atlanta looking over local
courses, gives some amazing facts in
regard to the magnitude of the busi
ness of selling clubs and balls to the
players of the United States.
For one thing. Mr. Kirchner states
that last year the golfers of the coun
try used 150,000 dozen golf balls, or a
matter of 1,800,000 "pellets." At the
prevailing price for golf balls they cost
the players of the country something
over a million and a quarter dollars.
Mr. Kirchner will be in Atlanta sev
eral days and then goes on an extended
tour of Southern courses.
BRICK OWENS HURT WHEN

leal perfection, will bond their
bodies through the ropes of
the Vernon arena of the Pacific
Athletic club to battle tor the high
est honor in pugilism. The contest
is scheduled for twenty rounds,
and the winner will leave the ring
weighted down by the McCarey

that go with the world’s heavy
weight championship.
The settings for the heavyweight
battle —the condition of the princi
pals, the gift of the diamond stud
ded belt, the soldout house and the
weather conditions—all are ideal.
Judging from the training camp
work of tiie two young giants, they
are as evenly matched as any pair
of boxers that ever bared their
bodies to a California sun.
For the past three weeks the
boxers have been held at even
money in the betting.

ning and each declare their inten- I
tion of ending the tight in the
shortest possible time.
Charley Eyton, the club's oftieia.

good milling. Freddie Barrett and
Jack Linkenbeck. welters; Eddie
