BEAT JACKETS
A THENS, GA.. May 7 Celcbral-
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 4 will devote
much of each afternoon to batting
practice in order to keep his slug
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 fire 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.
Rut 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
sight to behold. And everybody who
has seen the Georgia team in action
nr*' from Missouri on the statement
that the Techites are better fielders
than the Athensites.
The work of Harrison 'at second,
(Tementa 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.
Rig 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 try 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.
T Vi ere 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 oaeii other. Remembering the
rivs of 1911 and last year, it is evi
dent that the best touted team hardly
evi v wins—and will such a story as
t!:L be heralde<V 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

day Clemson won from Georgia ana

'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—Tris
Speaker for one. But Russ Ford and
Ed Sweeney’ are dubbing their lives
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-
rili Pratt is lost in the oblivion of the
St. Louis Rrowps. And Joe Jacks >n
has been buried and all but smother
ed until this year, with the usually
lowly Nap*s.
Another example, and right now a
brilliant one, Is Charley Stengle, last
year with Montgomery’, this year
with the Dadgers.
* * *
/CONCERNING Stengel center field-
^ er extraordinary of the Brooklyn
team in the National League, it may
be remarked in passing that he ; s
no mean hitter. Nay r , it would not
be stretching the truth to asseverate
that the youth who whanged a four-
sacker to center in the fir*< inning 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 .o
the wholesouled and broad minded ia
his clouting. He plays no favorites,
banging the ball just as hard against
the lowly and 1 downtrodden Boston
Braves as he did against the New
York Giants <and the New York A me**
icans and the Richmond, Virgin!!,
Leaguers. He would just as lief de-
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 marie
not only the first home run, but the
first run of any’ kind ever made on
Ebbetts Field when he sfammed a
four-base hit to center off Caldwell
in the fifth inning on April 5. The
next day he got a double. Fine.
Then came a slump. Tn 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 ‘.n
an error and sacrificed once. His
initial hit of the regular season was
a single off Seaton on April 18 at
Ebbetts Field.
* * *
THE 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
spring of 1910. Tie attracted so muw.ii
attention as a fair haired boy and
gave rise to so many repetitions • f
the school yell that be 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. Georg**
is a greater picker-up of unconsider
ed trifles in baseball, and what be
picks he salts down for future us?.
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.
• * *
S TENGEL first made his reputation
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 League.
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. Jim 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

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.
* * *
S TENGEL had at his owli demand
been put in the outfield in Kanka
kee and Maysville. and sought a job
in his new rapacity with Kansas City,
but the dust, from the Kansas City
diamond ha/i blinded' Tebeau to his
merits and in 1911 the boy was shunt
ed to Aurora, Ill., 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 n
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 tyO Montgomery, Ala., in th*
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 base.s. His penchant
for long drives wm only mildly in ev
idence in that spim, as his only extra
base hits were a two bagger and a
home run. Whafr he has done this
year is known of’all men.
Stengel is 22 years old, 5 feet 8%
inches high, weighs 18ft pounds and
bats and throws left handed. • As
a runner the gay gazelle has sonv'
thing on him and on Hans Wagner
as to gracefulness, but It is noted

FACE GULFS IN
FINAL BATTLE
M obi
iv Joe Agler.
OBILE, ALA., May 7. The
eky Gulls defeated us again,
this time the score being 6 lo
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
us lately and if he is given any kind
of batting si*"port he should cop.
However. I don’t want to take any
credit front 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 n.
PREP LEAGUE NOTES
Peacock will not enter any men in
the athletic meet Friday. There are

nings, and was called on account of
darkness early In the season.
* * *
The odds In this game favor Boys'
High, as they have shown the best
figliting spirit of any* team in the league
this season. Marist has been playing
an erratic game.
The 100-yard dash will be the big
event of the track meet Friday be
cause so many expert sprinters are
entered. Each school has one or more
men for this event and the competi
tion will be the keenest seen in years.

About three more weeks will bring the
local prep baseball season to a suc
cessful close. The race is close this
year, closer than 11 haa been for ;i lone
time, and right now any of the three
leading nines have a good chance to
win.
