SILK HAT HARRY’S DIVORCE SUIT
Now They're Off; the Mrs. Takes a Hand
[i e ht Georgia Players Almost
Sure To Be Missing From
Team Next Season.
A l'llENS, GA., Dec. 5.—Coach
Cunningham left this week for
Independence, Kans., where he
spend two months with his chil-
;ren before returning to Georgia to
take up the work of baseball coach,
jj,.fare he left he took stock of his
football material for another season
and finds that he will be minus sev
ere: of his star players wlfen the
season of 1914 arrives.
captain McWhorter, right half-
bark Conklin, end; DeLaperriere,
center: McKinnon, guard; Conyers,
guard. Flournoy, quarter; Malone,
guard; Hitchcock, end. These eight
\ . srs are almost sure to be lost to
the Red and Black. McWhorter has
placed his time out in the S. I. A. A.,
Conklin has also played four years
and is ineligible, DeLaperrieye will
not return to college, though he has
two more years of football; McKifi-
non graduates with a B. L. degree;
Conyers will complete his course and
will hardlv return; Flournoy gradu
ates; Malone has entered business
in Monticello and Hitchcock receives
his degree. All these players 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
year in Southern athletics.
Those who are counted on as a
nucleus for 1914 are Henderson at
tackle, Thrash at guard, Smith at
end, Logan at end, Powelt 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.
* * *
r 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
ties are considering a game With the
Carlisle Indians early ip the season
and have taken up the matter with
Coach Warner. Warner was coach
at Georgia in 1896, when a winning
team was turned out by the Uni
versity, and he is anxious to play a
game in Atlanta in October.
nder the present schedule Geor
gia is withoutpa Thanksgiving game
an<! 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
of the Georgia-Tech game being ar
ranged for that day.
* * *
C OMING from an authority at
Georgia, it is reported that the
S. I. A. A. will take under considera
tion at the coming meeting the pass
ing of a one-year-in-college rule as
is in force in the Northern and
Eastern colleges. If such a rule
passes it will be necessary for a
player to remain in college a year
before he is eligible to play on the
varsity. This will work a hardship
for the first year or two, but will
eliminate much of the ground for
ineligibility of new players, and
since it has come to such a pass that
the college making the highest bid
usually gets the prep stars of the
South such a ruling should do much
toward the uplift of Southern ath
letics.

Keep Handball Title
Of Atlanta A. C.
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
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,
are 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
scheduled to be played early Friday aft

Keeler, who won the singles branch of
the tournev, and the title holder, Carlton

Sam Crane Says Oldtimer Would
Be a Valuable Asset for
Muggsy McGraw.
By Sam Crane.
N EW YORK, Dec. 5.—Secretary
Foster has been empowered
by Manager McGraw, who is
now on the "briny,” to carry Out the
plans, deals, trades, etc., tha* the
manager had in view before his de
parture on the around-the-world
jaunt. Consequently Foster will
again be a very busy map 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, there will be much more time
at the disposal <?f the Giants’ .secre
tary to follow McGraw’s instructions.
That McGraw- had several Impor
tant deals on tap he himself acknowl
edged the day before he left on the
world’s trip, but he 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 McGraw 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.
Charlie Farrell, who once held the
job with the Yankees, has been men
tioned as Robbie’s successor, and
"The Duke” Is not so old that he
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 with the Yan
kees, and that is a job, to be suc
cessful at. that requires the best of
judgment as 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
coacher at the far corner outside of
McGraw', and when one stops to con
sider how many games are lost by
faulty coaching of runners a good
coacher is a very valuable man to
any club.

Fifth Regiment will be decided at the
Armory to-night when the Horse Guard
Regulars and Company G clash.
Both teams have gone through the
season without sustaining defeat, the
former winning six games and the lat
ter copping five.
The teams are In excellent condition,
trained to the minute for this, their
hardest game of the entire season.

The Atlanta Athletic Club basket ball
team will open its season Saturday
night, playing the Bessemer Athletic

putting in some hard practice during
the past few weeks and are In great
shape for the fray.
The Bessemerites have a hard game
on hand ‘.o-nlght, as they meet the
strong Columbus team In Columbus.
This should prove a good work-out for
the Alabama men.
Both teams are out for a string of vic
tories this season and the tfam that
romps away with Saturday's game will
have to play some speedy ball.
The Bessemer team will arrive here
Saturday at noon.

Veterans Needed on a Ball Club
+•* +•+ *•+ +•* -F«-S-
All-Kid Team Not a Success
By O. B. Keeler.
W lTl^ further reference the
way certain clubs ifi 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
his club as well 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 he knows the value of experience
and steadiness in balancing a ball
club.

’THERE was Cholly Frank
1 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 younK blood. The kids
will play ball, you know—-they have
last sea-
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.

They play th’ game with their hands
and feet—
I play with my head.
They can run an’ throw, they can
field an' hit,
Their arms an' legs are of temper
ed steel;
An’ yet it’s back on th’ bench they
sit,
While I mix in with the old-time
reel;
Me arms, perhaps, ain’t as hard at
theirs,
Nor me legs as solid, though heavy
as lead;
But THIS is the angle that more
than squares—
NEITHER’S MY HEAD!
