THE ATLANTA GEORG TAN - AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY. MAY 7. 1913.
TO BATTERS TO
BUT JACKETS
A THENS, GA.. May 7.—Celebrat
ing the last game before the
Tech series with a 14 to 1 vic
tory over Washington and Lee yes
terday, Georgia settled down to prac
tice to-day for the battles with the
Yellow Jackets on Friday and Satur
day.
Coach Cunningham will devote
much of each afternoon to batting
practice in order to keep his slug-
V gers’ eyes on the ball, as* it is the gen
eral opinion here that it will be the
heavy hitting of the Georgians that
will bring victory to the Red and
Black.
Corley and Morris have delivered
in the pinches from the mound at
^ home and stood the Are on the road
like veterans, but the fact that nei
ther of them has ever played in a
Tech series where the unexpected is
always happening and where expe
rienced vets have gone up in the air,
is making Georgia pin a question
mark on to her confidence even now.
Georgia Is Clouting Ball.
But there Is one thing for a cer
tainty. if the universities swat the
pill and the pitchers hold up as they
have all season. Tech had better come
over armed with the Atlanta South
ern League team, for the way every
man on the Red and Black line-up
has been lining ’em out has been a
c ight to behold. And everybody who
has seen the* Georgia team in action
are from Missouri on the statement
that the Techites are better fielders
than the Athensites.
The work of Harrison at ‘•econd,
Clements at short and McWhorter
and Ginn in the outer gardens has
been phenomenal in the last few
games, while but few errors have
been registered against any of the
other players.
Henderson in Uniform.
Big John Henderson was out in
uniform yesterday for the first time
since the team returned from the
Northern trip, and worked out with
the subs after the game. He will get
a trial on third this* afternoon, but
may not be in the games this week,
as he has been advised by the team
physician not to tr\»to break in again
so soon. Holden is still playing great
hall at this position for a sub, and so
far Covington has hardly been missed.
There is but one thing that is caus
ing any worry over the series here,
and that is that same old uncertainty
whenever Georgia and Tech are bat-
. tling each other. Remembering the
r series of 1911 and last year, it is evi
dent that the best touted team hardly
ever wins—and will such a story as
this be heralded from Sanford Field
and Tech Flats this season?
Georgia hardly thinks so, and in
stead of going into the fray over
confident. she is determined to win
even greater laurels than the team of
last year. The games will be called
at 4 o’clock and hundreds of tickets
have been sold to the visitors who
are coming in from neighboring
towns.
CLEMSON AND CAROLINA
CLASH FOR TENNIS TITLE
COLUMBIA, S. May 7.—As a
resuit of yesterday’s semi-finals in
ihe Southern Intercollegiate Tourna
ment here, representatives of Clem-
son College and the University of
North Carolina will meet to-day to

ship in both doubles and singles.
In the doubles semi-finals yester-
na.v Clemson won from Georgia ana
North Carolina from South Carolina,
while in the singles semi-finals Clem-
aon defeated Georgia and North Car
olina defeated Georgia Tech.

ference.

COLUMN*
I T seems the sad fate of Southern
League clubs is to furnish their
best stars to teams that are never
contenders. There are exceptions—Trig
Speaker for one. But Russ Ford and
Ed Sweeney are dubbing their llve3
away with the hopeless Yanks. Nap
Rucker, best of left handers, is hope
lessly buried with Brooklyn—as is
Jake Daubert and Red Smith. Der-
rill Pratt is lost in the oblivion of the
St. Louis Browns. And Joe Jacksjn
has been buried and all but smother
ed until this year, with the usually
lowly Naps.
Another example, and right flow a
brilliant one, is Charley Stengle, last
year with Montgomery, this year
with the Dadgers.
* * •
/CONCERNING Stengel center fleld-
^ er extraordinary of the Brooklyn
team in the National League, it may
be remarked- in passing that he is
no mean hitter. Nay. it would not
be stretching the truth to asseverate
that the youth who whanged a four-
sacker to center in the Hrinning re
cently off the second ball pitched by
Hess, and repeated in the second in
ning with another when Miller was
on third and two were out, is all 10
the wholesouled and broad minded In
his clouting. He plays no favorites,
banging the ball just as hard against
the lowly and- downtrodden Boston
Braves as he did against the New
York Giants and the New York A me”
icans and the Richmond. Virginia
Leaguers. He would just as lief dn-
molis a tailender as a champion.
Stengel’s career this season has
been peculiar. He hit well on the
training trip, and kept it up against
the New York Americans. He made
not only the first home run, but the
first run of any kind ever made on
Rbbetts Field when he slammed a
four-base hit to center off Caldwell
In the fifth inning on April 6. The
next day he got a double. Fine.
Then came a slump. In the first
three games of the National League
strife Stengel did not get hit, but in
the game in Philadelphia on April 10
he drew three passes, reached first on
an error and sacrificed once. His
initial hit of the regular season was
a single off Seaton on April 18 at
Ebbetts Field.
* * *
TTHE boy has ever been a pitcher
* since he cast himself upon a cold,
cruel world after leaving high school,
in Kansas City, Mo., in the gladsome
sprijig of 1910. He attracted so mu< n
attention as a fair haired boy and
gave rise to so many repetitions of
the school yell that he attracted the
notice of the management of the Kan
sas City Club in the American Asso
ciation, which was owned by George
Tebeau, who also picked up Joe Wood,
the Boston American pitcher. Oeorg<»
is a greater picker-un of unconsider
ed trifles in baseball, anil what he
picks he salts down for future use.
When anything escapes him it pains
him so deeply it takes two doctors
and a third year interne to probe t">
the seat of the trouble. They are
probing now every time George thinks
of how Stengel was taken away from
him.
* * *
CTENGEL first made his reputatiop
^ as a pitcher and hitter. Tebeau
labored under the impression that he
was no hitter and knew he was no
pitcher, so he shunted him to Kan
kakee, Ill.. In the Illinois-Iowa Leagu**.
It was also one of the well known
Fourth of July leagues, expiring amid
a tremendous roar of creditors on the
evening of the Fourth, 1910. Getting
hastily thence, Stengel Joined the
Maysville team in the Blue Grass
League, which was really the original
Horse and-Buggy League. .Tim Nolan
organized a circuit In the- Blue Grass
region away back In the days when
the earth was young and Cap Anson
was in doubts whether he would make
good on the Forest City. Jim used
to visit the clubs, driving a*horse and
buggy, and sometimes see two differ
ent games on the same day. Hencs
the name. It is one of the most perti
nacious and tenacious leagues known
to science, holding all records for
blowing up and' reorganizing. It
stayed reorganized long enough in
1910 for Stengel to finish the cam
paign and be recalled to Kansas City.
# * *
CTENGEL had at his own demand
^ been put in the outfield in Kanka
kee and Maysville. and sought a job
in his new capacity with Kansas City,
but the dust from the Kansas City
diamond had blinded! Tebeau to his
merits and in 1911 the hoy was shunt
ed to Aurora, 111., in the Wisconsin-
Illinois League, where he attracted
the notice of Old Scout Sutton and
others interested in the Brooklyn club.
He hit for .353 and led the league in
about all the statistics the secretary
had time to collect.
Brooklyn drafted him. but Charles
Holiday Ebbetts thought he needed
further seasoning and turned him
over to Montgomery, Ala., in the
Southern Association, where he tore
up things by the root with such vigor
that he was recalled to Brooklyn last
September. He worked in 17 games
with the Superbas last autumn, accu
mulating a batting average of .316
and stole five bases. His penchant
for long drives was only mildly In ev
idence in that spurt, as his only extra
base hits were a two bagger and a
home run. What he has done this
year is known of all men.
Stengel is 22 years old, 5 feet 8^
inches high, weighs 180 pounds and
bats and throws left handed-. As
a runner the gay gazelle has some
thing on him and on Hans Wagner
as to gracefulness, hut It is noted
that he and the Flying Dutchman get
there, just the same.
FACE
FINAL BUTTLE
By Joe Aglor.
M OBILE, ALA., May 7.—Tlie
lucky Gulls defeated us again,
this time the score being 6 to
3. Finn’s men are certainly having
all the breaks in luck, while our
pitchers are showing poor form.
Manager Bill Smith Is breaking
his neck trying to get the boys to
gether for one of our early season
winning streaks. The boys will fight
hard to-day in an effort to capture
the final battle from the Gulls and
to keep them from making a clean
sweep of the series.
Jim Brady will do the twirling for
us to-day and I hope Jim is right.
If he is we will surely win, as the
luck is bound to turn our way. Brady
has been pitching the best ball for
u» lately and If he is given any kind
of batting support he should cop.
However. I don’t want to take any
credit from the Gulls. I really think
the team that wins the pennant will
have to beat them. They have a won
derful pitching staff and a couple of
dandy hitters. This fellow Robertson
Is a bear.
Bausewein twirled for us yesterday,
but the Gulls managed to bunch some
hits off him in the first two innings
and piled up four runs. This made
us play a careful uphill battle, while
the Sea Gulls were taking all kinds
of chances and getting away with it.
Peacock will not enter any men in
the athletic meet Friday. There are
plenty of men attending this school who
would comj>are very favorably with any
of the athletes in the local Prep .League,
and yet Peacock stands by to watch
the other schools win the laurels.

About three more weeks will bring the
local prep baseball season to a suc
cessful clone The race is close this
year, closer than it has been for a long
time, and right now any of the three
