Sure, the Judge Gave Him a Call
Eight Georgia Players Almost
Sure To Be Missing From
Team Next Season.
, THENS, QA„ Dee, 6.—Coach
Cunningham left this week for
Independence, Kans., where he
...ill spend two months with his chil-
,n before returning to Georgia to
e up the work of baseball coach.
Before he left he took stock of his
football material for another season
and finds that he will be minus sev
eral of his star players when the
• eason of 1914 arrives.
Captain McWhorter, right half
back; Conklin, end; DeLaperriere,
enter; McKinnon, guard; Conyers,
guard; Flournoy, quarter; Malone,
guard; Hitchcock, end. These eight
players are almost sure to be lost to
the' Red and Black. McWhorter has
played his time out In the S. I. A. A.,
i 'onklin has also played four years
and is Ineligible, DeLaperriere will
not return to college, though he has
two more years of football; McKin
non graduates with a B. L. degree;
’onyers will complete his course and
will hardly return; Flournoy gradu
ates; Malone has entered business
in Monticello and Hltchctx-k receives
iis degree. All these pfiyers were
regulars with the exception of
Flournoy and Hitchcock, and their,
loss will be a heavy one to the
Georgians.
* • •
T URNER, who has played a bril
liant tackle, may not be back,
while Paddock, who has Just been
elected captain, is an uncertainty,
but it is thought that he will return
to lead the Red and Black his last
,n ear in Southern athletics.
Those who are counted on a a a
nucleus for 1914 are Henderson at
tackle, Thrash at guard, Smith at
end, Logan at end, Powell at full,
Crump at half, Thompson at half,
Purcell at guard, Owens at end.
Dorsey at quarter, and Turner and
Paddock.
This finds Georgia pretty well
fixed in the backfleld with Paddock
at quarter. Thompson at left half.
Crump at right half and Powell full,
but center; the guard positions and
one tackle will be open, with the end
positions pretty well looked after by
Owens, Smith and Logan.
* • •
T HE Red and Black schedule will
be announced soon after the S. I.
A. A. meeting- this month. It is re-
ported that some radical changes are
tO' be made from the schedule of
former years. The Georgia authori
ses are considering a game with the
’arllsle Indians early in the season
and have taken up the matter with
« oach Warner. Warner was coach
at Georgia in 1896, when a winning
tram was turned out by the Uni
versity, and he Is anxious to play a
game in Atlanta in October.
Under the present schedule Geor
gia is without a Thanksgiving game
and if Auburn refuses to come to
Athens next year some other team
will be taken on for Turkey Day
and there seems to be a possibility
if the Georgia-Tech game being ar- j
ranged for that day.
* * *
C OMING from an authority at
Georgia, it is reported that the
s. r. A. A. will take under considera
tion at the coming meeting the pass-
ng of a one-year-in-college rule as
is in force In the Northern and
Kastern colleges. If such a rule
passes it will be necessary for a
p ayer to remain in college a year
before be is eligible to play on the
varsity. This will work a hardship
Ur the first year or two. but will
iimlnate much of the ground for
neligibility of new player*, and
-ince it has come to such a pass that
iie college making the highest bid
usually gets the prep stars of the
South such a ruling should do much
'award the uplift of Southern ath
letics.

Princeton Opposes Pro Coaches
^•v rt*h •?•••!•
Gradual Elimination Proposed
Smith and Maddox
Keep Handball Title
Of Atlanta A, C.
DUKE'FARRELL
P RINCETON, N. J., Dec. 5.—
Princeton men are anxiously
watching the outcome of the re
cent agitation here which favors bar
ring the professional coach from all
connection with university teams and
which would dissuade college men
from taking up professional baseball
as a means of gaining a living.
When the Princeton baseball team
goes out on the field in the spring to
play other teams it will not be ac
companied by its professional coach.
The coach will sit in the grandstand.
This is taken to mean that sooner or
later the professional coach will be
eliminated entirely. Coach Horneck,
of the hockey squad, was let out and
the team is being coached this year
by Captain H. A. H. Baker and such
graduates as are able to lend their
time.
The organization which started the
campaign against the professional
eoAch, the athletic board of control,
is composed of undergraduates, and
its action Is final with the approval
of the faculty committee on under
graduate athletics. The board is es
pecially desirous of creating a senti
ment against participation in summer
baseball games.
As for the other colleges, Yale has
notified Princeton of her acquiescence
in the plan to do away with the pro
fessional baseball coach and to seat
him in the grandstand when the teams
play. Harvard has not been heard
from. The idea is not to act radical
ly. but to work for gradual elimina
tion.
Princeton has at present only one
man in professional baseball. He is
C. H. Sterrett, captain of the cham
pionship nine in 1912, who was with
the New York Americans last spring
before he was released by Manager
Chance to the minors. Sterrett re
turned to Princeton in the fall and
occupied the position of preceptor in
the faculty.
Dr. Joseph E. Raycroft, head of the
physical education department of the
university, had the following to say in
regard to college professionalism:
“This question is one of the biggest
which has been occupying the atten
tion of amateur organizations such as
the National Collegiate Association,
the Western Conference, the Missouri
Conference and the Ohio Conference
in recent years. 1 do not think that
summer baseball is desirable. Per
sonally I am opposed to professional
ism on principle, and this attitude
represents that which Princeton is
taking.
“We shall try to preclude the pos
sibility of any of our graduates en
tering professional athletics when
they leave Princeton. It seems to me
that a college graduate should fulfill
a greater position in life than that,
which is open to him as a professional
athlete.
“There is nothing dishonorable
about professional athletics; but this
field does not afford the college man
the scope of the full use of the ad
vantages which his college training
has given him."

News comes from Jacksonville, Fla.,
that Jack Robinson, the veteran scrap
per, bested Mickey Gannon last week in
a fifteen-round bout. Although Robin
son is well along in years, he is still
capable of giving many of the boys in
the game toMay a lacing. Billy ‘Lutz
is trying to match Eddie Hanlon with
Robinson.

Nothing has been heard lately of Billy
Nolan, former manager of Willie Ritchie.
The latter’s recent success In the ring
must be the reason. Or, is Billy search
ing for a boy to Take Willie’s measure?

Jack Britton was handed a surprise
the other night when he stacked up
against Mike Glover in New' York.
Several reports from the Eastern city
gave Glover a good shade over Jack for
the ten rounds. Glover is the boy who
has been defeating them all around Bos

a trip to New York to try out some of
the Eastern stars.

CHRISTIE TRIMS CROUSE.
YOUNGSTOWN. OHIO, Dec. 5. -Gus
Christie, of Milwaukee, outpointed Buck
Crouse, of Pittsburg, in 12 rounds of
tame boxing here last night.
The doubles section of the annual
handball tournament at the Atlanta
Athletic Club was completed Thursday
afternoon, when Howard Arnold and
Jack Beasley, having defeated Wilson I
and Rush in the final match and thus
earned the right to play Carlton Smith |
and Cone Maddox for the club title, were
defeated in a hard match by the cham
pions.
Smith and Maddox thus retain their
place as title holders In doubles, while
the. losers, having won their way
through a good field in the tournament,
arc somewhat consoled by a handsome
cup apiece, and the chance of making
another challenge next season. A big
gallery watched the title match.
The singles championship match is j
scheduled to be played early Friday aft
ernoon between the challenger, M. E. 1
Keeler, who won the singles branch of
the tourney, and the title holder, Carlton

AS GIT COACH
Sam Crane Says Oldtimer Would
Be a Valuable Asset for
Muggsy MeGraw.
By Sam Crane.
N EW YORK, Dec. 6.—Secretary
Foster has been empower?*!
by Manager MeGraw, who is
now on the “briny,” to carry out the
plans, deals, trades etc., that the
manager had in view before his de
parture on the around-the-world
Jaunt. Consequently Foster will
again be a very busy man during the
meeting of the magnates.
As the presidential proposition that
has so often been the cause of fric
tion and delay at previous meetings
has been happily settled by the
unanimous selection of Governor
Tener, and as the latter has publicly
announced that he will accept the
office, then* will be much more time
at the disposal of the Giants’ secre
tary to follow McGraw’s instructions.
That MeGraw had several Impor
tant deals on tap he himself acknowl
edged the day before he left on the
world’s trip, but lie divulged them
to only Messrs. Hempstead and Fos
ter.
The engagement of Wilbert Rob
inson as manager of the Superbas
will probably necessitate the secur
ing of another pitcher-coach for the
Giants, because MeGraw has not the
time during the training season to
look out for his big staff of pitchers
and give them the attention they re
quire
t’harlie Farrell, who once held the
job with the Yankees, has been men
tioned as Robbie’s successor, and
“The Duke" is not ®o old that lie
could not fill the place satisfactorily,
base than Charlie Farrell, as he con
temporaries when both were in their
prime as active players, and there arc-
very few better coachers at third
base than Charlie Farrell as he con
clusively proved when wdth the Yan
kees, and that is a job, to be suc
cessful at, that requires the best of
judgment ns to • the speed of base
runners, the throwing abilities of op
posing fielders and the stages of a
game.
The Giants have scarcely one good
roacher at the far corner outside of
MeGraw, and when one stops to con
sider how many games are lost by
faulty coaching of runners a good
roacher is a very valuable man to
any club.
GIANTS SIGN CUBAN TWIRLER.
NEW YORK. Dec. 5 —The Giants to
day signed Pitcher Palermo, a Cuban
star, who had an unusually good season

W ITH further reference to the
way certain duos m the
Southern League are can
ning their old hands this winter, we
have to offer the opinion that such a
plan may be carried to excess. And
when It is the result Is damaging.
The Atlanta club's directors have
shown that they appreciate this fact
fully, and Bill Smith is of the same
opinion, Bill likes youth and speed on
Mg club m w’ell as any man, but Bill
knows mighty well that youth and
speed won't do it all.
There is the acquisition of Ambrose
McConnell, a heady, steady veteran,
to play second base and keep the lid
on an infield otherwise consisting
mainly of youngsters.
There is old Rube Kissinger, taken
on the pitching staff largely on ac
count of his wise old noodle and use
fulness In coaching kid pitchers.
And there is Joe Dunn, of the
catching staff.
Bill himself is no spring chicken,
and lie knows the value of experience
and steadiness in balancing a ball
club.

T HERE was Cholly Frank last sea

Cholly had a lively team of young
sters wished on him by Cleveland—at
least, most of them were. Anyway,
they were all kids, and they looked
pretty good—at first.
And they were lively.
But look where they were at the
hind end of the season—though far
be it from us to say anything but
kind words of the scrappy ball club
that tackled Mike Finn’s desperate
Gulls, down on their home lot, on a
certain Sunday afternoon in last No
vember.
Still, the Dutchman, through no
particular fault of his own, turned up
a cellar team last season for the first
time In his Southern League history.

Hold on.
That reminds us of a fine bit of
verse we saw years ago. Probably
Grantland Rice made it; it sounds
like some of his stuff, and it has
the kick In it, and if the credit is
misapplied—well, the other bloke will
forgive us, if he sees this.
