THE ATLANTA O.EORflTAN AND NEWS
H. Champlin Now Threatens the
Leaders in Popularity Race;
Manchester Passes Jordan.
T
tHOMASVILLE fans have a new
hero in H. Champlin. He is now
fifth in the Hearst’s Sunday
American and Atlanta Georgian'con
test to decide the most popular player
in the Empire State League.
Champlin’s admirers refuse to ad
mit that any of the players leading
him in the popularity race at the pres
ent time will top him at the finish.
They point to the fact that the great
number of votes received by Pat Mur
phy, also a member of the Thomas-
ville team, has kept him from being
higher in the race.
Cup for Thomasville Player.
Champlin is expected to make things
exciting for the leaders in this rare
before the winner is announced. He
already is being called the dark horse
of the contest. Thomasville fans, it is
said, are waiting for the contest to
get a little older, when the Murphy
rooters are to swing to the Champlin
side, or vice versa, so as to give a
Thomasville player the loving cup to
be donated by this paper.
This does not mean that all the
votes received so far in the race will
be turned over to Champlin, as this
would be strictly against the rules.
Rut the fans who have heretofore
been sending In their votes for both
players will lend all their support to
one of the players. That is. if an
agreement can be reached among the
fans.
Manchester Leads All.
However, Manchester, Jordan, Hol
liday and Murphy continue their great
race for the leadership. Manchester
took the lead yesterday and is now
topping the Valdosta manager by a
few' votes. Holliday and Murphy are
within easy hailing distance, with
Champlin a good fifth.
