V l’HE ATLANTA (iEOKULAN AND NEWS. W EDNESDAV, MAY 7, 19171. ii batters ti 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 CLASH FOR TENNIS TITLE COLUMBIA. S. C., May 7.—As a result of yesterday’s semi-finals in the Southern Intercollegiate Tourna ment here, representatives of Clem- 8nn College .and the University of North Carolina will meet to-day to play for the tournament champion ship in both doubles and singles. In the doubles semi-finals yester day Clemson won from Georgia ana North (’arolina from South Carolina, while in the singles semi-finals Clem- aon defeated Georgia and North Car olina defeated Georgia Tech.

GEORGIA TRIUMPHS OVER WASHINGTON AND LEE, 14-1 ATHENS, GA., May 7.—Georgia continued her winning streak yester day’ by defeating Washington and Lee by the score of 14 to 1. The game was a replica of Monday’s, the Geor gians clouting the pill with regularity while the visitors played a listless game.

MOTWJEIT '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 CATARRH OF THE J BLADDER Rslierad In 24- Hours r Each Cap- sule bears the (f^jQY) { name JJmrora of cou nterfeit* buggy, and sometimes see tw o diffei- ent games on the same day. Henc? 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 that hp and the Flying Dutchman ee. there just the same. 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 plenty of men attending this school who would compare 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. / ►rgi Friday, official Jim (Dover, will officiate at the prep meet Glover has been selected as starter and judge. Boy’s’ High and Marist will play off a tie game Wednesday that went ten in 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. * • • The Freshman baseball team is still in the lead, in the class tournament at Emory College. Tuesday a double- header was played and both Karnes were the best that have been seen so far at Emory. * • * In the first game the Sophomores won from the Seniors, 1 to 0. It was a pitch ers' battle between Perryman, of the Seniors, and S -miners, of the Sophs, and the latter did the best work. * * * It will he remembered that Perry man is the lad who will report to the GIBBONS DROPS MATCH.
