L t 8 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANT? NEWS, FANS BELIEVE ♦ CHAPPELLE DUE Silk Hat Harry's Divorce Suit • • • • Copyright, 1911. loternfttlODftl Ntwi Servlet • • • • Doctor's Orders---That's All By Percy H. Whiting. B IO Bill Chappelle, If they |{ive him the chance, is going to he the sensation of the Southern League season." says an Old-Time Pan (No. they never want their names used but this one is a genuine wise guy). "He Is going to be the Bartley, the Maxwell and the. Demaree of the 1913 season." • • • A ND. it might happen. Stranger ** things have. For instance, take the historic case of Bill Bartley. Wil liam was a grand looking pitcher once—so good that even Connie Mack liked him and carted him around awhile. He was a fine, big. handsome blue-eyed, ladies’-day-hero sort of a chap but he didn’t have a lot of staff, it seemed. BUI dropped hack to the Eastern League hut he didn’t show a lot there and Charley Frank, who had owned his services before, grabbed him. Frank gave him a thorough trial and then passed this verdict: "All Bill Bartley has left is his looks." And then he sold him to Bill Smith, Atlanta manager. That was in 1909, when Bill was putting up a great fight for the pennant, but he was In some thing the same fix as this year. Bill had everything but pitchers. The league figured it a fine Joke that Frank had played on Bill Smith. They chuckled over it mightily. Nobodv knows what happened but Bartley came to life the day he hit Atlanta. With good support he couldn’t lose a game. For the whole season he piled up a mark of 19 won and 11 lost. But several of his de feats came before Smith bought him. The rest came after the pennant was cinched. While the battle was at Its warmest he hardly lost a game. Not even Johns and Fisher did more than Bartley In cinching the rag. • • • /CONSIDER then the case of Bert ^ Maxwell. The tall Arkansas chap got a big league trial and wan turn ed back to the Southern where he was kicked around like a second hand football. Atlknta had him. in 1909 but he couldn't make it here and was turned over to New Orleans, where ho did little. He stuck there the rest of 1909, all of 1910 and part of 1911. And all the wjille he, was going had. Then he was handed to Birmingham for a song. Right then Maxwell came to life. No pitcher the lcaguft has ever known showed more stuff. He was the reigning sensation. And Ho good did he look that the Giants bought him for a stiff price. He showed hut little for McGraw and was turned over to the International League, where he has since remained. He wasn't “good" for long, but while he was he made a punk hall club look great. • • • C -'OMINQ down to more recent time? " there is the celebrated case of A1 Demaree. He couldn’t show anything much for Chattanooga and the Crack ers thought so little of him that af ter they got him on a deal they didn’t trouble to have him report. I^ast >ear Demaree went to Mobile. He didn’t have a lot of team behind him. but he set the league pblaxe and transformed the naturally weak Gulls into a dangerous team. • * • VTOTICK the similarity between these cases and that of Bill Chap- pelle. Bill has been to the big leagues. Tie has looked good but per formed indifferently-for 'several clubs of the league. He is shifted to At lanta when the team is in distress. True, Chappolle hasn’t set the league to smoldering yet, but he hasn’t pitched a bad game for the Crackers and he seems ready to win a bunch of them when he gets the right sup port. Chappell e has the size and the strength to be a great pitcher. There never was any question about his "speed" and he has a lot of other stuff besides. But somehow he hasn't fitted into any of the trams he lias been with lately. Bill Bmith and his players believe that Cbappelle is sure to be one of v4be sensations of the season. Maybe so, maybe not. It would help a lot If he happened to get go ing right. And. as was remarked before, stran ger things have happened.

D. HUGHES 101/2 North Broad St.. Atlanta. Ga. Opposite Tljlrd National Bank. By “('hick” Evans A BOUT twenty miles north of the city of Detroit, on the road be tween Detroit and Pontiac, are the beautiful Bloomfield Hills. De troit itself is situated on a bit of fiat land and for that reason these hills come upon one In the nature of a surprise. Two years ago a golf club was formed by some sport-lov ing citizens of Detroit and a site for the course was selected out among the Bloomfield Hills. A great deal of money has been spent on the links; the course has been gradually worked into excellent shape and from a scenic standpoint, few places excel it. *The course can be conveniently reached either by the Interurban, which runs through these hills from Detroit on the \Vay to Pontiac, or by an automobile or carriage. As it happened to he my lucky day, I went out to the course a few weeks ago in an automobile with Thomas Neal, Joel Stockard, Blandish Backus and Gilbert Waldo* who is known as "the man who beat Hilton.” The ride was an especially pleasant one. through the residence part of the city, then past large automobile factories and finally a delightful run through a little real country. Soon the road, which I was told had been rising Im perceptibly ever since we left the city, made a bold elope upward and we found ourselves among the hills, and on every side were beautiful houses with spacious lawns. At last, through a little valley, 1 saw the club i house, gayly bedecked with (lags, and I heard irregularly across the hills the strains of muc4c. Then we turned up a little driveway and found our selves in full view r of the golf club on Its formal opening day. Fin® View From Club House. The club house is new and situated on an eminence, and from every side it commands beautiful views of hill and valley and handsome residences. It was a vision to make glad the heart of any golfer, and the wanderer from Chicago, after doing full Justice to a delicious luncheon, fairly Jumped into hi« £*Mfing clothes and made for the links. The first three holes'were long and a bit strenuous. They were two wood- er shots and brasste for me. and then came a shorter hole. The third hole presents an apple orchard as an un usual carry from the tee Fancy driv ing across that orchard pink with bloom in the spring, or of sending a ball crashing through fruit in au tumn. The seventh is one of the best nat ural holes T ever saw The tee is set in th<* woods and the drive is out and through a widening avenue of trees, and then there is a hill with a plateau which covers the right hand half and another a little farther up which covers the left-hand side. The good and daring driver plays to carry onto this plateau, but the player who pull® too much runs off and the one who cannot reach ends up in a hollow. The next shot is Just a vary ing mash it' chip. Links Not Yet Bunkered. Of course the links are not trapped or bunkered yet and, therefore, not a green is guarded nor is a pulled or sliced shot penalized. Another bad feature Ip the nearness of the holes and the paralleling which permits wide tee shots to land unpenalized on another course. It seems to me that there are too many blind holes. It might be a good idea to force the player of a poor shot to make a blind one, but the good player should have a fair chance to show his skill. It was interesting to look over the Bloomfield Hills course and see that H. S. Colt had been there. For a moment, as 1 looked at the stakes that mark suggested improvements. I thought 1 was back on Chicago Golf At the seventh hole Mr. Colt advises the digging away of the faces of two hills to make hazards The ninth is a difficult and pretty hole ending near the club house and the eighteenth gives a long finishing hole directly in front of the club house. Detroit has some excellent golfers and in their company my day on tht beautiful Bloomfield links vas a very enjoyable one. SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Games Monday. Atlanta at Nashville. Mobile at Memphis.

The recent defeats have awakened the players to the ne cessity of hustling, and they are starting West determined to fight their way to the top. as the team did back in 1911 when we won the pennant in the eventual dash to the wire. "What is Philadelphia going to do?” is the question that is stirring those interested in baseball now. The Quakers got a good start, and were in the race until July back in 1911, but they began to slip after that, and finished entirely out of the running for first place. The Giants played a series with the Quakers in the first part of July in that year, and they won four out of five games from us. The carping critics declared that the Giants were gone after those battles, and began to recite our obituaries^ but the team flashed through the West in n final sprint, inspired by the fighting spirit of McGraw, and won the pennant, al though it was said broadcast that it Sunday Results.

This is John McGraw. No ball club in the world can go through a season and not play the game for him if he has to shake it from the roots to the top. Met Iraw admits and concedes that the Giants ure playing bad hall now, but he Is not letting It go at that. If you could listen to some of his post-mortems in the clubhouse after me games you would consider a blast of dynamite to be a nerve soother compared to his conversation. He picks the games apart and shows where they were lost. He has done a lot of picking lately, too. What the Giants lack at present is the old hitting punch in the pinches which they had carried for two years and which had made them famous and champions, too. The greatest tonic the team could have at present would l>e four or live more victories, and these wins are bouud to come right now, in my opinion. We move along to St. Louis from here, where we should encounter fairly easy trnv- elnig in spite of the fact that the Car dinals gave us a tough argument in New York. Their pitchers are not go ing as well now as they were. Prom St. Louis the Giants go to Chicago, and that brings us to the discussion of another team. M R. CHARLES W.

Pitcher A\ Klawitier was sold to-day by the De troit Americans to the Sacramento club of thPacific Coast League, from which f'ircuit he came to the Tigers T HE Cubs are a good ball club out side of their pitchers, and Evers has one top-notch man, Cheney, who is showing signs of overwork at pres ent. Lavender and Richi eboth look ed like fair performers last season, but they have not been able to make any impression on the National League this spring. Perhaps it is the weather. All pitchers blame the weather when they are slow in start ing. It is an inexhaustible alibi. Lavender and Richie both looked very bad against the Giants when the-Cubs were in New York, Lavender lacking uny semblance of control. Richie, as is well known, has always been most effective when working against the New York club. Evers' best chance to get a winning ball club is to have Overall return to his old form. He showed a flash of that in a recent battle. With Overall and Cheney in good condition, then Evers could piece out the rest of his pitching from Lavender, Richie autl Rculbach experimenting with these boys until one of them touched some thing like winning form. The rest of the club is as good lioth at the bat and in the Held as any team in the league. The catching staff is with out a peer in the country. The team Is well balanced, and works smooth ly if internal dissension can he avoided. • • * B VT the Cubs are up against three clubs which will develop great pitching staffs before the schedule is played out. and I do not honestly fig ure how they arc going to compete with this sort of high-class twirling. Philadelphia lias already shown box- men who have stood all the other teams on their heads, and both New York and Pittsburg have pitchers who are bouud to come and lie big wiuuers. Resides these two teams. Rrooklyn has been receiving good pitching, and Boston gets occasional outbursts of effective twirling. The way the Cubs crashed down through the league when they were making their recent tour of the East indicated that they could not stand the doses of pitching being administered by the Eastern clubs. White City Park^ow Open ing that I had attacked the Cubs in these articles because he had refused to let me insure the players on the team on whom he had taken out poli cies. That looks to me like a poor alibi, hut it is not my intention to get into any controversy with Mr. Murphy, liecause 1 need my wind for pitching, since he spoke the truth when he said ( would have, to work to win my own games from this point along. 1 have always had to work to win them. Also I know Mr. Mur phy’s endurance record for long-dis tance talking, and could not hope even to tie him. 1 gave what was an honest opinion of the Cubs after watching them play and lose three games out of four In New York. Evers is a friend of mine, and his success so long as it did not crowd the Giants would gratify me. He is a game ball player, but he ran Into a hard situation in Chicago when lie took hold of the team. Mr. Mur phy had made many enemies for the Cubs by the way in which he treated some of his old stars last fall. But that is his business and not mine. of them slow up for a minute or two Dooin is going to have a difficult time when he runs into the cluster of dou ble headers that he will be forced to face. By the addition of Fromme, McGraw is well stocked with twirl- ers for these double bills later along. He has five competent performers. It is my notion that the Quakers will fall hack on the road trip, al though these may be merely the ob servations of an optimist. They do not move as well away from home as they do on their own diamond, as was shown by the fact that We out played the club in New York, while they trimmed us handily in Phila delphia. * • * ROOKLYN has already started to Josh Devore, the former Giant out fielder, now with the Reds, touched up Rube Marquard for three slashing hits yesterday. • * * Lajoie. the vet Nep second sacker, got back into the game regularly yesterday for the first time since about three weeks ago, when one of the Yankee pitchers smashed some bones in his left hand. The Tigers nosed out a 1 to 0 victory over the White Box yesterday in a pitch ers’ battle * * * The Cubs took kindly to the delivery of Harmon yesterday and won from the Cardinals 4 to 2. * • * Here is another question under dis cussion, which is the best "wrecking crew”—-Magee and Cravath of the Phil lies, Cobb and Crawford ibf the Tigers, Collins and Baker of the Athletics, or Jackson and Lajoie of the Naps? B OSTON, MASS., June*2.—Forget* ting the early season series be tween the Boston Nationals and the New York, Brooklyn and Phila delphia teams as one would forget a nightmare, it may be said that George Stallings’ team has been going well enough lately to suit tho most rabid partisan. When the pitching is good, nine times out of ten, the team behind the pitching will play good ball, and it w ill be gingered up so that it can bat out the winning run. The batting of the Boston team has not been particularly brilliant. On the contrary, it has been below the average^ but it must be remembered most of the team played in the minor leagues last year, and It will take time for them to get accustomed to big league pitching. B rp| HE Phillies deserve some con sideration right here, lx'reuse they are leading the league at pres ent, no matter where they finish. Dooin has a good ball club, but his main strength lies in four star pitch ers—Alexander, Rixey, Chalmers and Seaton. This quartet is moving at toti speed now, but should any one St. Louis club cannot hold up. Their two star pitchers, Harmon and Sallee, were both beaten last week and these two have been keeping the team In the race. * * * piTTSBURG is still a dangerous club, and will come strong to ward the end, as it did last season. There Is lots of fight in that team, but, like the Giants, the Pirates have not been able to get going. They have good pitching and good hitting, and are bound to come. It is my opinion that the battle will finally be between the Giants and Pirates. It is a long way to the finish, and both of these teams have the best staying qualities, to my mind.
