it T) 10 Itt11 Chappelle, if they give
|j him the chance, is going to be
the sensation of the Southern
League season." says an Old-Time
Fan (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 Pemaree of the 1913
season."
• • •
A ND it might happen. Stranger
things have. For Instance, take
the historic came of Bill Bartley. Wil
liam was a grand looking pitcher
cnee—#0 good that even Connie Mack
liked him and carted him around
awhile. He was a fine, big, handsome
blue-eyed, ladie/T-day-hero sort of a
chap but he didn’t have a lot of stuff,
if seemed.
Bill dropped back to the Eastern
League but he didn’t show a lot there
and Charley Frank, who had owned
hia services before, grabbed him.
Frank gave him a thorough trial
end 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 tight
for the pennant, but be 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.
Nobody 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^nore than
Bartley in cinching the rag.
• • •
C ONSIDER then the case of Bert
Maxwell, The tall Arkansas chap
got a big league trial and was turn
ed back to the Southern where he
was kicked around like a second
hand football. Atlanta had him in
1909 but he couldn’t make it here and
was turned over to New Orleans,
whore ho did little. He stuck there
the rest of 1909, all of 1910 and part
of 1911. And all the while he was
going bad. Then he was handed to
Birmingham for a song.
Right then Maxwell came to life
No pitcher the league has ever known
showed more stuff He was th'-
reigning sensation. And so good did
he look that the Giants bought him
for a stiff price. He showed but
little for McGraw and was turned
over to the International League,
where he has since remained. He
wasn't "fSOd" for long, but while h.
was he made a punk ball club look
great.
• • •
C OMING down to more recent times
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. Last
year Pemaree went to Mobile. He
didn’t have a lot of team behind him,
but he set the league ablaze and
transformed the naturally weak Gulls
Into a dangerous team.
• * •
■^JOTICB th«^ similarity between
^ these cases and that of Bill Chap-
pelle. Bill has been to the big
league s He 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, Chappelle hasn’t set the
league to smoldering yet, hut 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.
Chappelle 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 teams he has
been with lately
Bill Smith and his players believe
that < "happen© is sure to be One of
the 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.

DR. J. D. HUGHES
North Broad St., Atlanta. Ga.
Opposite Third National Bank.
“Chick” 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
flat land and for that reason theee
hills come upon on© 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 graduaJly worked
into excellent shape and from a scenic
standpoint, few places excel it.
The course can be conveniently
reached either by thfe Interurban,
which runs through theae hills from
Detroit on the way to Pontiac, or
by an automobile or carriage. As
it happened to be my lucky day, I
went out to the course a few weeks
ago In an automobile with Thomas
Neal, Joel Stockard, Standlsh Backus
and Gilbert Waldo, who is known us
"the man who beat Hilton.” The ride
was an especially pleasant one,
through the residence part of the city,
then past large automobile /actorles
and finally a delightful run hrough
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 slope upward and
we found ourselves among the hills,
and on every side were beautiful
houses with spacious lawns. At last,
through a littlo valley, I saw' the club
house, gayly bedecked with flags, and
1 heard irregularly aoroks the hill*
the strains of rnu^c. Then we turned
up a little driveway and found our
selves In full view of the golf club
on Its formal opening clay.
Fine View From Club House.
The club house is new' and situated
on an eminence, and from every side
it commands beautiful view's of hill
and valley and handsome residences.
It was a vision to moke glad the
heart of any golfer and the wanderer
from UhicRgo, after doing full justice
to a delicious luncheon, fairly jumped
into his golfing clothes and made for
the links.
The first three holes were long and
a bit strenuous. They were two wood
en shots and hrassie 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 I ever saw The tee is sat
in the w'oods 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 pulls too much runs off and the
one who cannot reach ends up in a
hollow. The next shot is just a vary
ing mashie 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 is 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. Golt had been there. For a
moment, as I looked at the stakes
that mark suggested improvements, I
thought I 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 ’ong finishing hole's directly
in front of the club house.
Detroit has some excellent golfers
j and In their company my day on the
j beautiful Bloomfield links was* a very
j enjoyable one.

LEAGUE GOSSIP
C INCINNATI, June 2.—The Giants are not beaten yet. You cannot beat a ball club like
the New York team in May. 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 1011 when we won the pennant In the eventual dash to the wire.
“What Is Philadelphia going to do?" la 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, bnt they
liegan 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 begar\ to recite our obituaries but the team
flashed through the West In a final sprint, Inspired by the fighting spirit of McGraw, and won the pennant, al
though it was said broadcast that it
could not be done.

WALSH MAY BOX KILBANE.
BOSTON, June 2.—Jimmy Walsh,
of this city, has accepted an offer
from the Queen City Club of Cin
cinnati to box Johnny Kilbane in that
city July 4.
T HERE is one factor on the New
York team with which most
folks do not reckon when considering
the season’s prospects. 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. McGraw
admits and concedes that the* Giants
are playing bad ball now, but he Is
not letting it go at that. If you could
listen to some of his post-mortems In
the clubhouse after the 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 tie four or five more victories,
and these wins are bound to come
right now, in my opinion. We move
nlong to St. I amis from here, where
we should encounter fairly easy trav-
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. From
St. Ixrnis the Giants go to Chicago,
and that brings us to the discussion
of another team.
* • •
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 Rlchl eboth look
ed like fair performers last season,
hut they have not been able to make
any impression on tlie National
League tills 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 lioth looked very
had against the Giants when the •Cubs
were In New York, Lavender lacking
any semblance of control. Richie, as
Is well known, has always been most
effective when working against the
Nt'w 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, ltlehie and
Reulbach experimenting with these
boys until one of them touched some
thing like winning form. The rest
of the club is as good both at the hat
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 be
avoided.
T) IT the Cubs are up against three
LJ clubs which will develop great
pitching staffs before the schedule is
played out, and I do not honestly fig
ure how they are going to compete
with this sort of high-class twirling.
Philadelphia has already shown box-
men who have stood all the other
teams on their heads, and both New
York and Pittsburg have pitchers
who are bound to come and be big
winners. Resides these two teams,
Brooklyn 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 Is-1 rig administered by the
Eastern clubs.
M
U. CHARI.ES W. MURPHY gave
lng 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, because I need my wind for
pitching, since he spoke the truth
when he said I would have to work
to win my own games from this point
along. I 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.
I gave what was an honest opinion
of the Cubs after watching them play
and lose three games out of four In
New Y’ork. 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 hall player, but he ran
into a hard situation In Chicago when
he took hold of the team. Mr. Mur
phy had made many enemies for the
Cubs by the way in which he treated
some of Ills old stars last fall. But
that is his business and not mine.
* • •
r 1 'HE Phillies deserve some con-
sideration right here, because
they are leading the league at pres
ent. no matter where they finish.
Rooiu 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
top speed now, but should any one
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 lie forced to
face. By the addition of J'romme,
McGraw is well stocked with twlrl-
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 lie 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.

DIES OF BASEBALL INJURY.
ANACORTES, WASH.. June 2.—
Parris Smith, an 18-year-old high,
school student, who was hit on the
head by a baseball while playing in
a match game here, died to-day in a
hospital. Milo Stock, aged 23, who
w r as struck by a pitched ball In the
same game, suffered the loss of an
eye and may die.
OSTON, MASS., June 2.—Forget
ting the early season serlea 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 the most rabid
partisan. His kid players have turned
the trick.
When the pitching is good, nine
times out of ten, the team behind the
pitching will play good ball, and It
will 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 men played in the minor
leagues last year, and it will take
time for them to get accustomed to
big league pitching.
