TTTT ATLANTA C.LOT?CTAN AND NEWS BASEBALL ^Diamond News and Gossip WOULD GET II Predicted on April 17 That Cobb Would Join the New York Club. By W. S. Farnsworth. \ S It Is a habit with sporting writers in the South to come out with a hi* story whenever their predictions come true, we cheer fully wish to announce that we were firm to predict that Ty Cobb would become a Yankee. We printed in The Georgian on April 17 the following story: . Ty Cobb is going to wear New York American league spangles. On the face of matters, it doesn’t listen good, but about three months ago Ran Johnson, high murK-a-muck of the Ameri can League, dropped off in this burg for a couple of hours. B. B. J came down to this neck of the woods to look over an inland ofT the Savannah coast. He and C. Comiskey, White Sox franchise possessor, wanted, said isle to fish and hunt on. Yours truly paid Mr. Johnson a call at the Piedmont Hotel. The topic of Interest in b. b. cir cles at the time was the report that FTancois Chance was to affix his J. Hancock to a New York contract. I asked Ban about it. “Cinch the Yankees will get Chance. I fixed the thing all up myself.” So spoketh B. Bvron. And hi« chest swelled a couple of inches as he spoke the “l.” "Farrell is lining to have a win ner. too.” added the $25,000 per president. "I believe he will have the greatest player in the world with him if a deal that is pending room through.” I was inquisitive, hut Ban would go no further. And trying to g«-t a bit of news out of him when he doesn't core to give it Is like try ing to tear your teeth through an Athens steak. But right now everything points Cobb’s way. The American League simply has got to get a team in New York that can compete with the Giants. Gotham is the National League strorighold. Ban Johnson is a w ise gazink He never over looks a bet. With Cobb and Chance both in New York, Mc- Graw and his bunch would have to divide prestige with the Amer ican League team. Now. isn’t it likely that there is a perfect understanding be tween the player. the Detroit owner. Frank Farrell and Ban Johnson ? Fay Defeats Ellen In Finals for Davis & Freeman Trophy Playing in great form. T. R Fay won the Davis & Freeman trophy yesterday in the final round of the big golf tour nament on the Atlanta Athletic Club course at Fast Lake, defeating J. A. Ellen in a grand battle that went the entire thirty-six holes to reach a de cision An idea of the class of golf played may he gained from the fact that the last round of eighteen holes was played In 82 and 83 strokes by the con testants This is Mr. Kay's first win of the nandsome trophy, which has been won at various times by "Tick” Tlchenor, Hamilton Block and F G. Byrd, the lat ter having won It twice. To become permanent property, the cup must be won three times. In the second flight, J. G. Darling de feated H. C. Moore. 3 up and 2 to play, in a close a.id well-pla.vcd match. Mr. Darling's trophy also is a handsome cup. The third and fourth flight finals were decided Saturday.

Bill Bernhard turned the trick for Nashville In 1908. and strange to say. he did it after the Vols had finished in eighth place for two successive years. * • • TT is strange that the feat Ip not ac- * complisned more frequently. Of course, taking a cellar major club to a pennant Is a different thing, but in the minor league, where clubs are practically built anew each year, it would seem far from Impossible for the team of lowly standing to* rise lo the subllmest heights in a twelfth- month. But it’s evidently a pretty tough Job. If it were not It would be done m ire ofien. The first penr.ant of the rejuvenate 1 Southern League was won in 1901 by Newt Fisher at Nashville. He re peated in 1902. Charley Frank won his brackets with Memphis in 1903. but Frank had been well up in the first division the year before and had a team of vet erans in a circuit that was far from being as strong as it is to-day. • • * L EW WHISTLER took what Frank left in the Turtle City in 190-1 and galloped In with the honors, but Frank left him much of his pennant- winning bunch. Frank ha l builded well in New Or leans that year and had his club in third place at the end "f the sea son. He came back in 1905 and just breezed in, though his club was driven from home by the last yellow’ fever epidemic. Harry Vaughn had made a good bid for Birmingham in the closing year of 1905 and in 1906 came along and won a pretty race. Atlanta had been comfortably close up when Vaughan won and under Bill Smith’s capable guidance came in with the Crackers’ first pennant 4 n 1507. That year John Dobbs had the Nashville club and finished a miser able last, despite capable manage ment. Bill Bernhard was put in charge in 1908 and, with the fine nucleus of a ball club left by Dobbs and a little loosening of the Nashville purse strings, won in a hair-raising finish from New* Orleans, the odds-on favorite. • • • fA LD Bill Smith had been right up fighting all year- and was In ex cellent shape to come back in 1909. And he did. winning in a grand race with Nashville and New Orleans a? the principal contenders. Frank had a great organization in 1910 and won with tase, although crowded at times by the Barons, who had taken on new life with Moles- worth as manager and Rick Wood ward as owner of the club. He repeated in 1911 after a thrillir g finish with Dobbs’ Montgomery club and the Barons. That year the Crackers finished a s-torry e ighth. The Barons had been building for three years and came along for the championship in handv style in 1912 and won handily, though driven once or twice by Mobile, which gave in dications last year of the strength it has shown this year. The Crackers, it will be remembered again, finished as low as they could without drop ping out of the race And now it seems that the runner- up Gulls of 1912 are to be the cham pions of 1913, but the Crackers under Smith have put up a remarkable bat tle, considering the fact that Hemp hill left Billy nothing but Alperman and Agler. TF Smith had won, more credit would * have been due him than was due Bernhard for his remarkable 1908 ra;e. For Dobbs had left Bernhard a ball club, or the basis of one, while Hemphill left Smith nothing. gloomy, despite the fact that only six of the varsity will return and an swer the call of the gridiron. Among these are Captain Homer Cook, the star halfback of last year’s team; Loeb, the plucky center; Means, a lineman; Fielder and McDonald, half backs. and Thomasson, w’ho played end. With these men as a nucleus, Coach Heisman has a number of last year’s scrubs who will make a strong bid for first string honors. Tiiose that show’ed up best as scrubs last year and look good for this year are Rainey. Trawdck, Lang. Moore, Lucas, Beara, G<>ree, Reif- snider. Crutcher, the Montague broth ers, Edgar and Tyler, and the Gard ner boy-fet These men played last year under the watchful eye of Assistant Coach Alexander and developed great ability and, with last year's experi ence, should do well. A h )st of new' material is expected, but at this early date not much Is known about their prospects. Several prep school stars have signified their Intentions of entering the college, but until school convenes for the win ter session not much will be learned. It Is expected that Coach Heirman will lay especial attention and stress on kicking ability this year. Mc Donald, of la*«t year’s varsity, showed up wonderfully during the season, and this year should win great hon ors with his boot. He is young, will ing to learn and has great ability, his trusty toe gaining lots of ground for the Jackets last fall.

Naughton. I N deploring the lack of high-class heavyweights at the present time, the fact that th e middleweight di vision is even worse run down than the class above seems to have been overlooked. Jimmy Clabby, Eddie McGoorty, Jack Dillon. Frank Klaus, Billy Papke and Mike Gibbons are recognized as the best of the lot.^Pic ture, if you can, what Stanley Ketchel in his prime would have performed had the six of them been shoved into the ring for him to dispose of, one after th e other. Or, sadder still, imagine if you can any of the six before Bob Fitzsimmons when the freckled one was in his prime. Papke was once a great fighter; but it is not what you used to be, but what you are to-day in pugilism. Billy is stringing along on the strength of his past reputation, and at that is about as good as any of them, slowed up even as he is. In his prime he could have beaten the bunch in less time than it takes to tell it. He is the only one of the six possessed of a real knockout wallop, or rather did possess one when he was in his prime. * * * D ILLON and Klaus are roughhouse fighters, whose ring actions more resemble barroom squabling than scientific boxing. They are tough, game to the core and hit fairly well, hut are almost as devoid of science as it is possible for men to be who have engaged in boxing as a profes sion for years. Neither is hard to hit. Before either Ketchel or Fitzsimmons they would have been punching bags. Klaus once boxed Ketchel. but that was after the great Grand Rapids fighter grew careless, began to de cline and did no more training than to reduce weight by a hair cut and shave. * * * C LABBY and McGoorty are clever. fast and tricky, but neither hits hard enough to have even so much as slacked the pace of such fighters as Ketchel or Fitzsimmons. Gibbons is fast and clever, but only looks good against third and fourth raters, seem ing to choke when staked up against real class. There are a number of reasons to believe that he is not as game as a man should be if he ex pects to adopt boxing as a profes sion. The writer is of the opinion that Joe Gans and Jack Blackburn, lightweights, when in their prime,, could have disposed of the best men in the middleweight division to-day, and that Welterweight Joe Walcott could have beaten them easily, even despite fifteen or twenty pounds dif ference in weight. Great Johnson Suffering From Lame Shoulder B OSTON, MASS., Sept. I.—Wal ter Johnson, the great pitcher of the Washington Americans, is suffering with a lame arm. It de veloped to-day that Johnson has been working w’ith his shoulder, which pains him whenever he delivers* the ball. He contracted it after that fif teen-inning game, which ended in a tie, w r ith the St. Louis Brow’ns sev eral weeks ago, and since then has been winning his games without ever having to extend himself. Johnson to-day was asked about the story that his arm was sore and he replied: * * * V^ES. It is. It has been paining 1 me ever since I worked in that fifteen.inning tie game against St. Louis. At times it pains so badly that I w^nt to quit, bu* am stalling along because I do not want the opposing players to know that I am not right.

McTaggart Is Jockey King In Year's Time TEW YORK, Sept. 1.—From mes- ^ penger boy {o the top rung of the racing world In less than a year Is the record of “Little John ny” McTaggart, who Is without a doubt the very best American Jockey sporting the silks in this country. "The Kid,” as little Johnnie is called at Saratoga, Is a brother of Jockey Tommv McTaggart. This time last year he w r as chasing his legs off running messages for a New York telegraph company. Johnnie got his first real chance at the recent Belmont Park meeting, where he piloted to victory August Belmont’s horse Mission. At Sara toga “The Kid” had four mounts and won with three. * * * TN the history of racing It has never A been recorded where a boy made such a rapid and brilliant rise as this little jockey, whose actual measure ments would scarcely overtax a yard stick. A decade or more ago the racing slogans were, “Fo’low Sloan,” or “Fol ios Miller.” To-day the cry Is, “Back the Kid’—meaning Johnnie McTag gart, of course. Jeff Livingston, R. F. Carman, August Belmont and R. T. Wilson, Jr., are all after his serv ices. * • * CAM HILDRETH, the foremost in ^ America, who has just returned from abroad to take charge of the Belmont stable, declared after seeing McTaggart ride that the youngster was the best rider of his inches the turf world has ever known. The little jockey is only 17 years of age and can ride at less than 90 pounds. He is under contract to Hugh Penny, a former star rider of the West. Jeff Livingston offered Penny $10,000 for the “Kid’s” con tract. He wap told he couldn't have the boy for twice that amount.
