TTESDAY, AUGUST 15, 1916.--
The Man Who Irnaginewlm
-GEORGIAN SPORTS COVERID 4 EXPERTS:
lols' Double Victory While Pels Are Losing to
Travelers, Increases Lead to Three and a Half
(tames—Frank’s Men Drop.
IRST place in a league race, par
ticnlarly first place in a league
race in. August, is a mighty
rd thing to attain. Certalnly it is
o sweet a thing to surrender.
And vou can gamble that the Vols
ought every inch of the way for the
o battles they took from the Crack
vesterday. The box scores show‘
at the hitting and flelding were
bout even, and you can figmre that it
as just that ounce or so of despera
on that was the Vols that carried
em to victory in the pair of battles.
Little Rock's desperata rally, trim- ‘
ing the Pelicans in the ninth round,
ves Ellam’'s people a lead of three
nd a half games and a bit of breath
ng space. But if the Nashville boss
xpects to win the 1916 pennant he
as got to watch, and watch care
ully, every step of the way from now
ntil September 9, for John Dobbs is
vatching and waliting and praying for
ust one more slump on the part of
he Vols. If that arrives he will dash
n tc the fead and no earthly power
n then head him.

HERE is an eternal and everlast
ing and otherwise disacreeabla
inx camping on the trail of every
urler who earns the newspaper title
f “best pitcher in the Southern
ague.”
If you'll ook over the list of men so
ajled you’ll see that all of them have
ome bad end mighty soon after their
ronation,
Early in the season the papers of
New Orleans gave Roy Walker the
itle and just a few weeks ago thcse
me sporting experts were crying for
Valker’s scalp.
About that same time we folks up
ere in Atlanta were disputing Wal
er's prominence and claiming all
orts of things for old Doctor La
tte. Now gaze on the old Doc. He
s pitching for Ridgeway, Pa., which !
sn’'t in organized baseball at all.
Then along came Rube Marshall,
d he looked like big league timber,
$ sure as gun’s iron. But in recent
eeks Rube hasn't pitched a game
hat was anything like creditable.
Tom Rogers sprung into the lime
ight. He ran up a string of victories
§ long as the justly celebrated
hurch street of Nashville, and then
e has met four successive defeats
ight when his club needed him to win
ost.
Dickie Kerr looked a bear for Mem
his yntil a little more than a week
go. Since that time he has been
riven from the hill twice and should
ave been yanked on another oceca
fon. s
HATTANOOGA papers see in the
fine playing of Tommie McMillan
or the Lookouts the final withdrawal
f Kid Elberfeld from active partici
pation in the pastime.
It is pointed out that the Kid has
long yearned to manage from the
bench. Though he is still a wonder
ful ball player and can play with the
best of the league when occasion re
quires, it is nothing but his indom
itable nerve that has enabled him to
do 0. For years the scrappy little
Lookout leader’s legs have given him
trouble. In recent months he has un
dergone tortures while on the fleld,
but still he stuck to his guns, looking
;ox;da. man to fill that gap in his in-
R
He tried and tried, but he could
;loe;rer get the proper athlete for the
~ Then McMillan was released by the
Crackers. The Kid has been sweet on
Tommie all season. He was quick to
grab him off. |
~ The retircment of Elberfeld will be !
missed by more than one ctass of peo=
‘ple in the Southern League. The fans |
will miss his forceful presence on the
fleld. And will the umpires miss him?
Oh, no, not in the least, that is not at
all, hardly.

IMMY JOHNSTON has at last come
| into his own in the big show and
‘how he keprt from doing it for =o long
2 time remains a mystery.
| When Jimmy was in the Southern
League he seemed major league ma
terial as surely as some candidate for
Governor of Georgia is being fooled
right now. Then he went up to the
Chicago White Sox. He did not get
mucn of a trial and was sent to the
Coast.
There he starred again, and this
time he was grabbed up by the Cubs
2nd again he was sent back to the
minors.
This year Brooklyn signed him and
kept him on the bench most.of the
season,- but he got his chance finally
and made good. He has succeeded
Hap Myers as an outfield regular and
his hundreds of Dixie friends are hop
ing he will have a chance to get his
part of the world series riches
- - -
R OWDY ELLIOTT. Johnston's old
Baronjal teammate, is another
4thlete who took a long time to reach
\the big tent. Way back in 1910 El
!lott was the best backstopper in the
Bouthern and got a trial with the
Boston Braves the next year. That is,
he got a lookover in the training
‘amp, where the powers that were
d: "«g? that he was too small for a
M. Jeague catcher.
E.. t was sent back to the South
*rn and he again caught splendidly
tor Birmingham, but Rowdy was all
his name implied and his brilliance
on the field did not compensate for his
ictions off the diamond. Molesworth
traded him to Bill Schwartz at Nash
ville, and Bill Schwartz grew old and
kray trying to make Elliott behave.
Failing, he sent him to the Coast,
wWhere, to the surprise of everybody,

‘Elliott was last year made manager
of Oakland. He wasen't a howling
success as a manager, but evidently
was as a catcher. For when he was
deposed as boss and made a free
agent the Cubs quickly took him into
the fold, and he is now performing
there with more or less brilliance.

IF Pug Cavet joins the Phillies and
Al Demaree is still on the job,
people in the effete East will have an
idea that Mobile, Ala., has a corner
on homeliness. In Philadelphia they
assert that Demaree is the ugliest liv
ing ball player, but that is because
they haven't seen Cavet vet. Like
Pug, Demaree went to the big show
from the justly celebrated sun-kissed
shores.
- - v
IT’S a fortunate thing for John
Dobbs that he possesses the serv
ices of Roy Walker, however temper
amental that hurler may be. Walker
has been able to beat the Vols, the|
Pels’ most hated rivals, every time
he has faced them this season. On
five different occasions'he has downed
the Ellam entry, which alone should
make him worth his weight in gold in
New Orleans.

Footi American
BROOKLYN, Aug. 15.—President Eb
bets, of Brooklyn, wants it understood
that his proposed amendment to the
National League constitution does not
call for a complete reneal of the 21-
player limit. He only wants the teams
to carry more than 21 players after
August 20, which will put the National
League representatives in the world's
series on the same footing with the
American League rival.
News that the Columbus, Ohio, ciub
was on the market surprised no one. It
was stated last spring that unless the
team was a winner and the fans turned
out to give the owners a chance to re
cuperate some of their losses they would
get out of baseball, and that seems to
be just what they are doing.

THE ATLANTA GFORGIAN.
The Georgian All-Southern
No. 2; Danny Clark, 2nd Base
By Fuzzy Woodruff.
ALKING with Charlie Starr the
other day, the Little Rock mo
gul paused to pay tribute to
the zreat ball Clyde Wares is con
tributing to the welfare of his rush
ing forces.
Just at that moment, Steve Yerkes,
of the Crackers, made a dazzling stop
that cut off a run, and when he came
in to bat cracked out a double that
had more or less to do with the
downfall of the Travelers that day.
“Speaking of second basemen,” I
remarked, “there’s my idea of what
a real ball player ought to be.”
“Right,” said Starr. “But speaking
of second basemen, how about Danny
Clark?” he asked.
“And speaking of second basemen?”
I came right back, “how about Cot
ton Knaupp?”
Starr laughed. “I don't believe
there are any bad ones since I quit
playing the keystone,” he remarked.
And there was a world of wisdom
in his utterance, despite the alto
gether modest but totally vndeserved
reflection on his own ablility.
There is no such thing as a poor
second baseman in the Southern
League this season.
- v >
Look at this list:
Nashville—Sheehan.
. New Orleans—Knaupp.
~ Atlanta—Yerkes.
| Chattanooaa—Pitlor.
Little Rock—Wares.
~ Memphis—Cruthers.
~ Birmingham—Clark.
Mobile—Massey.
Try to find one man on the list
that wouldn't grace any Class “A”
ball club. It can’'t be done. And
then think of selecting the best man
of the eight and pity the poor
sporting writer who has to make a
selection.
THERE are just two that can be
disposed of right off the bat.
Strangely enough they are with the
first and last clubs—the Alpha and
‘Omega of the league. Neither Shee
han nor Massey measures up in bril
liance or consistency to the six other
playvers of the middle station and
neither the Vol keystoner nor his
fellow athlete from Mobile are slouch
ball players,
Sheehan is too prone to make cost
ly miscues in pinches, while Massey
has never had a fair chance with
the tail-end club of the city on the
sun-kissed and storm-swept shores.
- - .
LIKEWISE we can dispose of Jake
Pitler, of the Lockouts, capable
as he is. Jake has. played splendid
ball for the Elberfeld outfit. His
fielding is good, if not brilliant. He
is hitting around .260, which is a
pretty fair mark for an inflelder. In
any other company he would be a
star. In any other year in all prob
ability he would be an easy All-
Southern selection. But this is not
his year.
- - .
BL’T how about the other filve?
Well, how about the other filve?
As good results probably could be
obtained by placing the names of
Wares and Clark and Cruthers and
Knaupp and Yerkes in a hat and
drawing blindfolded and the selec
tion would be much easier.
Still we are demons for work, as
we once remarked to a sheriff who
wanted 463 pints of seized licker de
stroyed, and far be it from us to shun
responsibilities,
So here goes. ‘

HFZRE'S Clyde Wares—no longer
the kid of the old Montgomery
days, but still the peer of any sec-.
ond sacker In the circuit in fleldlng.!
a splendid base runner, and a man
in whom the fighting epirit s in
tensely developed. Wares {s hitting
.263, which, taken with his many ex
cellgnt qualities, should be enough to
give him the honors.
But all the others, with the excep
tion of Knaupp, are hitting at a bet
ter clip, and there is mighty little
to choose from the flelding.
- - -
K.\'AUPP‘S 251 batting average
also lets him cut. Cotton start
ed the season hitting close up to the
.300 mark and he stayed there until
recent weeks, and then his hitting
tell'to nothing.
He is still a splendid second base
man. His flelding will rank with
anybody's. His pepper is proverbial,
but Cotton is aging a trifle, and that,
coupled with his recent helplessness
at bat, kills his chances.
- - -
PRESS CRUTHERS, of Memphis,
was easily the best keystoner in
the league last season, but the
Cruthers of this season doesn’'t seem
the Cruthers of last—not on his At
lanta form, anyhow.
The Chick second sacker is hitting
.270, which is a very fine clip, though
below his speed, but his layoff in the
early part of this season has told on
his fielding, particularly on his
throwing. His arm seems to have

Mr. Cruthers beyond the pale of
consideration.

THEN we have left Steve Yerkes
and Danny Clark, and the task
of selecting that was painful becomes
absolutely harrowing.
Both are of the finest type of ball
players, hard workers, possessors of
good habits, and owners of brains
that are something more than some
thing to fill up a skull. Yerkes is
hitting .303. Clark is clouting at a
.290 clip, but Clark's drives are
harder. He more frequently .breaks
into the extra base column. Both
are smart ball players. Yerkes has
the edge on Clark, of course, in ex
perience, but this is more than over
balanced by Danny's youth,
Clark is much faster on the bases
than Yerkes, and this consideration
gives him the place, though it is
given with misgivings that a bone
has been pulled by your humble ser
vant.

Miss Stirling Begins Practice- for
October, When She Hopes to
Capture National Honors.
HERE is going to be a real bat-
I tle in the Woman's National
| Golf Tournament this year, and
You can lay to that. That is, there is
going to be a real battle if a worthy
foeman, or a foewoman, or whatever
you call 'em, can be found for Miss
Alexa Stirling, of Atlanta, the holder
of the Southern title.
For Miss Stirling is going to jour
ney North in October, with the one
idea in view of bringing back the cup
token that she is the bhest woman golf
player in these United States of
America. Considering the length,
breadth and thickness of this coun
try, there seems little doubt that she
will encounter real opposition, which
is exactly what she wants.
Miss Stirling’s wonderful fight last
year at Onwentsia is well remembered
by hundreds of Atlanta golf bugs.
They recall how she swept through
her early matches, only to lose to the
champion, Mrs. Vanderbeck, in the
semifinals in a heart-breaking battle
that went to 22 holes.
- ~ -
NO‘V Miss Stirling is not the kind
of girl and not the kind of golfer
to be discouraged by that sort of a
defeat. Since that match she has had
one vaulting ambition, and that is to
win this year’'s title.
And now ghe is preparing herself
for this test.
She hasn't been doing a whole lot
of golf playing this summer—just
enough to keep her game from get
ting rusty. She played in the South
ern tourney early in the season, and
won handily. But since then 'she
hasn't been In any competition. It
wouldn't do for her to keep at the
top of her game too long. There is
always the danger of going stale. |
Miss Stirling has been seen at the
ball park and at musical affairs far
more than she has been seen on the
links, and still golf hasn’'t been off
of her mind.
This week she began active prepa
ration for the competition. She fig
ures, and so does Stewart Maiden, of
the East Lake Club, her instructor,
that careful practice from now until
the tournament, in October, will have
her game at its finest point then.
If it is, as was remarked before,
there is going to be some real golf in
that tournament.
ATLANTA, GA.
Sport Impresario in New York on
Business Will Look After Inter
ests of Labor Day Boxing Card.
ANDOLPH ROSE, sport impres-
Iq sario, who Is in charge of the
boxing feature of the Labor
Day celebration in Atlanta, leaves to
day for New York, and while there hg
will close terms with some of the star
boxers, who will appear on the all
star card at the Auditorium as a fit
tirg conclusion to the day's festivi
ties.
Mr. Rose was called to New York
on other business; and when he re
ceived this call he made arrangements
to kill' two birds with one stone, and
