THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. II Pennant Predictions Came 'Through, Every 'Team Would He a Regular Champion Q O °y LOSE SEVERAL D)F LET SILK HAT HARRY’S DIVORCE SUIT 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.

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."

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.

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.

Veterans Needed on a Ball Club +•4- +•+ +•+ 4-«4- +•+ All-Kid Team Not a Success »y 0. B. Keeler. 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 son. 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. * * * A LSO, far be It from us to quarrel with the young blood. The kids will play ball, you know'—they have the wings, and the legs and the— 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. Let’s see if we can recall it. • • • A H. yes—here It is; that sort of stuff sticks: THE VETERAN SPEAKS.
