team's court Saturday night
The contest will be the second
meeting of the rival teams. In the
first game between the quintes
in Birmlnghun the local clubmen ran
n‘:y with the game, 42 to 20. This
was the first defeat handed out to &
Birmingham team on their own court
in the histogy of an A. A. C. team,
In the caontest played here last year
the Atlanta men trounced the B. A. C.

eran in the line-up, that being Tommy
McGovern. Brageiton, forward;
Strange, center, and Black and Bar
ker, guards, are subs on last year's

the Bessemer team last year.
To date the Birmingham team has
shyed only three games, winning the
rst one, 38 to 15, over the American
Bchool of Osteopathy and losing the
second to Atlanta, 42 to 20. They lost
to Columbus last Saturday night, 36
to 30.
The Atlanta men to date have
grabbed seven victories and suffered
one defeat. For the past four games
the clubmen have been going great.
Their passing, goal shooting and all
round teamwork have improved. All
the members of the team are in fine
condition and shbuld be in superb
_form when they face the team from
Alabama.
The three remaining games on tha
schedule for the A. A. C. five are all
tough ones. They meet Birmingham,
Georgla and Columbus, in order. The
last-mentjoned is undoubtedly the
hardest of the lot.
The teams will line up as follows
Saturday night:

This is the first of a series of articles on men famous in the
sporting world of to-day and the past to be run w the Atlanta
Georgian from time to time. Every branch of sport will be rep
resented. Don’t miss this series. '
No. I—Tyrus Raymond Cobb.
E have with us to-day, gentlemen, Tyrus Raymond Cobb,
Wgreatest batsman—on and off the diamond—in the American
League. The past season Ty—the bunch of dynamite from
Georgia is called that by all followers of baseball-—hit for .63 in
97 games, which was a little below the mark he usually sets. Still
that mark was enough to give him the championship of the Amer
ican League, and, as it was the eightb season in a row that he was
at the head of the buneh, it must be admitted that he is some dvat.
ter, e | LJIB first professional game was
Cobb went to Detroft in 1808, but
it wasn't unti! 1907 that he gained the
distinction of leading his league, and
from then on he has been peevish
whenever anyone even threatened to
take his honors away from him.
And it is not only when someone
tries to beat him out at hammering
the horsehide that Ty gets peevish.
The dynamite in his makeup is wet
on a halr-trlf(og and very often gels
away from him. This has caused the
Georgia Peach to get into numerous
fights—some of tbem brawils—but it
must be admitted that he usually had
a great deal of provocation. Cobb has
jumped into the grandstand to wal
lop a fan who got a trifle too personal,
and he has also had a row with a
butcher who delivered lamb chops not
exactly up to what Ty thought they
should be. He has been stabbed and
on one occasion was accused of doing
a little fanecy carving himsell, bat
only in seif-defense.
. s
TAK[NG it by and :argo, though,
Tyrus Raymond ‘obh has
proved that he Is one of the best ball
players ever seen !n uniform, and If
he does occaslonally slop over it Is
only because he takes life as serfous
ly, as he does ball plaving.
\On the diamond Cobb thinks of
nothing but victory, and will fight to
the last ditch to get his team home a
winnner. He is “in the game' from
start to finish, and it bothers him not
that he steps on someone’s foes or
even neck If such things are neces
sary to win out. That being his na
ture, how could he be expected to act
differently when the lamb chops are
not just what hiz appetite demands?
Cobb was born at Royston, Ga., De
cember 18, 1886, so to-day is just over
28 years of age. e has been playing
professional baseball for eleven ycars
and during all that time has been a
wonderful batsman, as well as fielder,
His first amateur game was played
with the kid team in his native town
when 12 years of age, and from ithat
day to this he has been improving.

last night.
THE ATLANTA GEUKGIAN
Hw first W” fflno was
played with the Anniston team
of the Alabama State Le-w in 1004,
There he hit for .370 dur part of
the season, and he was then ircbb‘d
by the Augusta (South tlantic
Leagne) team, for which organiza
tion he hit for .237 in 87 games. He
wag with Augusia in 1905, too, and
boosted his batting average to .326
in 108 games, and from Augusta he
went to Detroit in 1906. His record
th the Tigers since is too well
known te need mention.
Cobb's best mark is 420, made in
' 1911, Other players have excelled this
mark, notably Duffy. .438: Turner.
423 In 1894; Bureh, .433; Burkett, 428
in 1885, and Isajole, 422 in 1861, but
all those Lig averages were mide be
fore the present foul-strike rule was
in force, and when batters like Bur
kett and Duffy could “kill the gcod
ones” with great ease by Intention
{ally fouling off the ball. Even under
those advantagequs conditions they
did not follow up.their big averages
for eight vears in succession.
3 . - .
TI{E serap in Cobb, was there when
he was dborn. and came to the
surface early in life. When a very
yvoung kid he was a chronie, continual
scrapper and counted that day lost
which did net contain at least three
battles. His battling average was
not nearly the equal of his batting
average. Many times he hit off more
than he could chew and was sent
} home pretty weil battered up. Nota
whit discouraged, though, voung Ty
would be right back on the Job at
the first opportunity. Or course, he
won some of hig carly batties, but the
bitterness of defeat was oftenest his.
The only thing that equaled his love
of a scrap was his love of baseball.
When walking he always batted
stones or anything else that came
handy with a club or shingle which
he carried, and this habit got him
many lacings. for he broke a record
number of windows. iz hidings
never came up to the number of win
dows smashed, though, for he was fast
on his feet even then.

Mr. Evans—
Why is it that I can't use my driver,
or brassie? 1 can play my midiron and
cleek pretty well and with a consis
tency that makes the use of wooden
clubs silly. I know that playing wood
is the game, but when I am in & hard
mateh T take rQy cleek out at the tee
every time. I 'can't understand why
1 can't get a ball up with a wooden
club. If I do happen to hit the ball on
the face of the club, away it'goes in a
wrong direction. I have hought enough
wooden clubs te start a man in the
lumber business, but all to no purpose,
Although | hate to do it, I am afraid
1 shall huve to give up my wooden
clubs. K 8T
. A— )
HIS letter !s but another repeti-|
I tion of remarks 1 have listened
to from hundreds of beginners
at golf. Tt f« strange that these golf
ers can not play wooden shots when
they play their irons so well. To my
way of t¥|lnkin¢ the wooden shots -u{
'the very easiest ones of the game.
‘1 think the trouble with most golfers
is in trying to learn two kinds of
| full swing—one for full irons and
| another for full woodens. 1 kill two
| birds with one stone and use exget
{ly the same swing for both, and for‘
| that renson I have never been obli
| gated to practice a wooden shot m‘
i my life. - |
- - - {‘
I THINK it is a mistake to smart a
beginner with the wood, as most
professionals do. she novice usually
thinks the wooden shots are the great
est of the game and he overestimates
the difficulty and tries too hard. His
| taflure lies chiefly in the inability to
| get the ball up, a trouble not so fre-
Quent in the better lofted irons. The
‘remedy 1s a quicker and crisper blow.
Another mistaken idea is that the
{ wooden ghot must be hit ‘as hard ag
{ pogsible, ' This means that the goifer
‘dmm all the work instead of letting the
clubhead do its share, Thiz attempt
| to do all the work s one of the Thief
| faults of the great army of golfers.
"T!w idea of extra force is particularly
;dpsh’\lt,‘fl\'e when applied to a wooden
| shot.
;»» “ ~
:THI;‘ iron head, of course, gives a
{ certuln “feel” that {s absent from
{ the head-heavy wooden club, and that
{ “feel” probabl¥ favorably affects the
t shots of the fron player. Then, too,
{u j& probable that the greater length
of the weoden club gives less control
, and makes for inaccuracy. Neverthe
{less | firmly believe that if the aver
| age golfer forgets the idea of extra
| force and swings the woodens exactly
| a he does his irons he will overcome
i'hr difficulty of his drives.
- o -
ll HAVE seen =0 many men follow
$ perfect fron shots with miserable
| wooden opes. Yet the same stroke
{ would have produced equally good
results. I advise the beginner never
to use an iron from the tee. TLearn
to play the game, If you can play
a full iron you can play a full wooden.
The time will come when you will
need all the advantage of distance
that a wooden club gives. Whern you
have really léarned the game it may
be right to use your own judgment
on certain courses or occasions, but
in tlte meantime stick to the wooden
club on the tee, even if {t becomes
| necessary to instruct your caddie to
hide your irons as you approach the
Ivhlnn) of the sand box.

New Athletic Association Formed
o ok deek 4o ot b
Georgia One of Charter Members
By CHAS. E. MARTIN.
THENS, Feb. 2—A new athletic association, backed by some
A of the strongest colleges in the country; has sprung into life
in the South, It is the resnlt of a number of informal con
ferences and correspondences. The cireuit became a realization at
Columbia, 8. C., Saturday, when representatives from the l'ni\'er-l
sity of Virginia, University of Georgia, Uhiversity of Tennessee,
University of North Carolina, and University of South Carolina
met there to draw up a tentative constitution to be presented to
the athietic authorities of the named
colleges for ratification.
As a result of this meeting the
Conference of Southern Universitias
‘was formed, with the State Universi
tles of Georgia, Virginia, Tenneasee,
North and South Carolina as charier
members. The constitution and by
laws that were adopted have not been
made publie, and will not until they
are passed on by the different col
leges. Professor Sanford, who repre
sented the University of Georgia, is
very much pleased over the oulcome
of the meeting. and is enthuslastic
over the possibilities the organization
has In store for the members. The
conference will formally materialize
one year hence—that is, In the fail of
1916—since all the schedules for the
coming ueuonl. lm.ve.boen made.
THE formation of this conference is
no hostile act toward the S. L
A. A, 50 those interested declare, as
Georgia and Tennesgee are the only
ones who are members of the latter
assoclation. In making schedules the
five colleges named in the conference
will dominate each other's schedule,
but games may be played outside the
quintet if the outside colleges con
form to the former's rules. Georgia,
in entering this league, has no idea
of giving up her Tech and Auburn
games, so it is alleged by the Red and
,l:lmk authorities; but that the 8. L
A. A. has become top heavy and (oo
cumbersome {8 apparent to the out
sider as the reason the proposition
was attractive to the two members of
the assoclation.

io.\'E of the cardinal features of the
‘ new association will he a “home
rule” clause, with a “neutral appeal”
provision that will eliminate all wran
gling and sauabbling, to # great de
gree at least, over players whose
eligibllity is guestionable. The ten
ets of the constitution on this point
have not been given out, but if one
college wants to protest a member of
an opponent’s teum it filex the protest
and the officlals of the college of ihe
protested player pass on them, and if

and Tennesses the conference has
four of the strongest colleges in the
South, South Carolina only being the
weak member. Georgia has been
playing both Virginia and North Car

THE conference will be formally
pregented to the university ath
letic board of directors at a special
called meeting this week., and like
wise will be passed on by the other
colleges, and then the inner workings
of the new organization will be made
public, It seems a certainty that the
Georgia board will adopt the consti
tution as passed at Columbia. The
new association wili be watched with
interest by all the college athletic
people In the South, and what effect
it will have on the present 8. 1. A, A,

General Villa has promised to protect
Jack Johnson, but who is going to pro

Speaking of protection, Jack Johnson
can get u« whole year of it If he pre-~

The A. A. U, has taken steps to pro
tect its athletes agalnst the cold when
they run the Marathon on February 12.
But a man who runs a Marathon in
New York on February 12 doesn’t need
protection. He needs a mental exami
nation.
Connie Maek, it is said, i{s going to
be aggressive this season. We'll believe
it wien we see Christy Mathewson in
the act of biting an umpire on the leg.
FROM MISSOURI,
Though I believe a lot of stujf that
ball scribes write about,
I can't believe that Connie Mack
would dawl an umpire out.
Being an optimist, we hope some day
to enter a place of public amusement
without being forced to Ilaten to a flock
of song hoosters.
If the Chicago Feds really want a
new name they can gt a lot of them
from Ban Johnson, ut few of them
would be printed in a family journal.
