*GEORGIAN SPORTS COVERIED 4 EXPERTS:
Harris or Pitler Likely To Be
Caught in Draft—Pitchers and
One Good Catcher Needed.
HATTANOOGA, Sept. 14.—Most
‘ of the individual members of
the Lookouts have returned
home for their stay during the off
season. It is believed that most of
the players wil] be back in uniform
next year, though very few of them
are considered strong enough to be
brought on without competition. . he
teamn of the past season was strong
in many respects, but was never thor
oughly balanced and was always weak
in pitching. Yet it was one of the
best the ecity has employed, and,
‘doubtless as such, wil] not have to be
“doctored” as much as some of the
Squads of the past.
It is feared that either Joe Harris
or Jake Pitler will be caught in the
draft net. These two boys are too
£ood to be overlooked, at least by the
Class AA clubs, even if the majors
pass them up. It is a pipe, however,
that the one who is not snagged in
the lottery will be back next season
with the bells on. Moreover, the re
mainder of the infield would not be
unwelcome, without a break,
Fred Graff is said to ha ve expressed
desire to be traded because he believed
that he had been long enough on one
club. This may be true, but it ig a
cinch that the Lookout roster has
never contalned a more popular or a
more faithful player than Freddie,
Moreover, Graff had his hest season
this year, batting 20 points higher
than usual, setting up a reputation of
being the best “squeeze player” on
the club or in the league, besides fleld
ing the bag in his accustomed sensa
tional style. Just why he shouldn’t
be brought back 14 a mystery. If he
goes, however, it's certain that a serv
iceable player will be secured in ex
change. s N
TOMMT MoMILILAN played a phe
nomenal game after he joined the
team and undoubtedly will be retained
for a try-out next spring. Tommy is
not a certainty and doubtless will
have other competition in addition to
Young Watt, who has been sent down
by Detroit.
In the outfleld, it appears certaln
that Heine Jantzen will go hence.
Helne finished in a bad slump and his
health has been such as to handicap
him. Heine is a hard-working, gin
’:ry scrapper, but hits rather light
r a flelder. Ham Hyatt also wound
up slowly, but Ham proved a val
uable citizen, all things considered,
and probably will come back next
spring. If Harris is caught in the
draft Ham will be taken on for a
first-sacker, and it must be confessed
that he played a much better first
bag this year than outfield. Bob Mes-
Senger played good, steady baseball
all season, hitting a few points shy,
but fielding better than in previous
Years. Bob is a high-salaried mar,
and it is not unlikely that he will be
traded, though he is Elemy fast.
. -
BEHL\'D the bat, both Kitchens ana
Peters may be back, but several
other catchers must be secured to
compete with them. Kitchens was
far from playing the game this year
that he did last, his arm going bad
and his batting eye considerably |
dimmed. Peters improved consider

LD DOC CHILDS gave the finest little exhibition of raw
courage and fighting against impossible odds I ever saw on
a baseball diamond.
It didn’t get him anything, so far as pennants go. And lam
inclined to think it ruined Doc’s arm, pitching that desperate
game on a chilly September afternoon at Piedmont Park. Any
way, Doc never was much good after that, and he surely had plen
ty of stuff that season.
It was the tail end of the season of 1904. Ab Powell owned
the Atlanta team and ’Gene Demontreville was field captain and
practically manager for the
club. They had brought Doe up
from the Sally leagne with Al
vin Bayne when that season
ended, to help the loeal elub in a
desperate chance to land the
pennant.
It was no great shakes of a chance.
New Orleans and Memphis and At
lanta all were in the hunt, but At
lanta was pretty well behind. It came
to a series with New Orleans, where
the Crackers had to win every re
maining game to land the flag. One
game lost, and there were five more, 1
think, and the chance was gone. In
short, it was an absolutely critical
game for Atlanta.
- - -
DOC CHILDS was sent in to pitch
—a huge, lumbering chap, with
worlds of stuff ard speed, but very
wild. He hit the first batsman to
face him. The runner—none other
than “Diamond Joe" Rickert*-prompt
ly swiped second on Nig Clarke, went
to third on an out, and scored on a
wild pitch.
And right there Doc settled down.
He pitched regular baseball. He had
all the stuff in the world, and he was
getting it over the pan. and the Pels
had just as much luck with it as the |
oldest inmate of the Soldiers’ Home
killing flles with a folded newspaper,
But, while Doc was making mon
keys out of the oppositton, the town
boys were having absolutely no luck
at all against Winnle French. He was
using a sweeping ‘curve ball, and

The first man up was an easy out.
Then Nig Clarke was retired, and it
was up to Doc—for they didn't run in
pinch hitters for pitchers very much
in those days.
And, boys, old Doec was THERE.
That big chap, who hit rather less
frequently than Professor V. M. Day
does now, cracked out a beautiful
single, and the crowd got to its feet
to cheer better. And not only that—
old Doc began burning up the tow
path. He weighed over 200, and was
slow and clumsy and no base runner.
But, boys, that big, slow, clumsy
pitcher stole second—and stole third
—and, by gum, he was stealing

‘
HEN the magnates of the
\/\/ Southern ILeague get to
gether for thelr December
gabfest in Nashville, the spirit of
prosperity is going to rule the meet
‘ng, anr as a result, Southern League
fans will have considerably better
baseball provided for their delectation
in 1917 than they enjoyed in 1916, al
though thiz season Just ended provid
ed plenty of high-class amusement.
The race of 1916, however, was
staged under poverty conditions.
When the magnates assembled for
their winter meeting last year, base
ball was in the throes of the Federal
war. Hardly a club in organized
baseball had made money in the dark
year of 1915. The magnates very
wisely decided to trim expenses all
along the line,
As a result, the Southern League
started off with a 140-game schedule,
twenty games shorter than the sched
ule of the year before, adopted a four
teen-player limit rule, which prohib
ited clubs from carrying any reserve
players, and adopted a salary limit
80 small that even the Mobile club
couldn’t hardly live up.to it.
That isn’'t all they did. They pass
ed a rule abolishing the guarantee
that home clubs had in the past pald
visiting teams, thereby imposing a
tremendous burden on Atlanta, Bir
mingham and Memphis, though, of
course, Mobile, Chattanooga and Lit
tle Rock profited hpmensely.
THIS year, however, the league has“
enjoyed good attendance, and
while there hasn't been a lot of
money made, the magnates are feel
ing a lot more hopeful as to the fu- |
ture of the sport in the Southland. |
New financiers have been found for
the Mobile club. There will be new
blood in the Chattanooga association.
Memphis has had a record-breaking
year of prosperity. Little Rock has
done splendidly. Birmingham has
done poorly from a financial view
peint, but Rick Woodward has never
believed in pinching pennies, and he
will be in favor of loosening the purse
strings. Nashville is naturally feeling
gay. Atlanta has fared well enough,
In short, nearly everybody is satisfied
with conditions.
So after the magnates have had a
drink and a fanfest, the lid is going
to go off, N
Reyond doubt the season will be
lengthened, probably to a 154-game
schedule. The reason for this is on
vious. Ball players of the higher
class don’t care to come South if they
are to lose their pay for September,
with all the other Class “A” leagues
running until October.
- . .
A ND the fourteen-player limit wil
be done away with. In all prob
ability, a rule will be passed permit
ting each club to carry fifteen play
ers, which, with the one plaver who
can be carried as “Ineligible,” will
give the league plenty of talent.
The salary limit had just as well
remain the same., No cludb paid any
attention to it, and it could be two
bits or two million dollars without
changing anything.

The Mechanical Division of the Atlanta Branch is headed by
Mr. Ralph Cannon, an expert Buick mechanie, and a man who
can ably direct the corps of men under his direction. The sys
tematie handling of each job, the elimination of lost time and
wasted, undirected effort makes for the Highest Class of work
at a legitimate price.
The men work eight hours daily; the division opens at 8 a. m.,
the men have one hour for lunch, and eloses at 5 p. m., sharp.
Therefore, they work eight hours, they have eight hours for
recreative purposes and eight hours for sleep. They are thus
mentally and physically fit at all times, and enabled to render
service satisfactory to both ourselves and our customers,
We have every needful tool, many of which have been made
in our own shops by our men for special purposes, doing the
work better and quicker. We have light from three sides, avoid
ing the use of artificial light for the men at work,
We believe that our plan of eight
hours’ daily work under expert direc
tion of first-class men, plus—
Plenty of daylight, ventilation and
pleasant surroundings, equals—
A GUARANTEE OF EFFICIENCY.

By Chaarles (Chick) Evan;,
National Open Golf Champion,
HICAGO, ILL., Sept. 14.—With,
( out doubt there are too saw
tournaments for junior golferg
in the Chicago district, and up esy
they increase in number Chicago must
eventually lose the splendia Position
it has held in the world of 80lf for g
many years.
When I was a very youthful golfer
one of my greatest incentives Werg
the junior championships at West
ward Ho. To play only in tourr )
ments with golfers who have alres
arrived is a bit discouraging to thg
youthful player; for a boy needs 3
victory now and then—or a near-on.
—to cheer him on the difficult wav
The future depends on the youth of
teday. Age-limit tourneys are desir
able things, but the disproportion be.
tween them and the junior events is
startling, and it is not the junior al 9
who needs encouragement, but the fel.
low in between.
* b -
IT is instructive to note that the
leading qualifiers in the juniop
tournament at Hinsdale, 111, are pub
lic course players. Bennie Buffh m,
the low medalist, was a former caddig
at the Chicago Golf Club and was
one of the best caddie playvers ther
A study of the list shows that thres
out of the first four qualifiers wers
from public course golf clubs, and, in«
deed, 70 per cent of all the juniors en«
tered came from the public parks
Now, this can only mean that thg
sons of private club members are tos
lazy to develop a game. They want
the things that come easiest nd
quickest, and the way to a good golt
game is long and diffieult. When puh
lic park golfers trained on the “huil
for speed” municipal courses can gy
to a private links and play it as we]
as these bovs have done, it means that
they have got the real stuff in them
. * *
TI{FSF, boys were nearly all caddies
at the different clubs, and after
the caddie age was past they went tg
work; but they stiH longed to play,
and they were “enabled to d«¢ y
through the cheap memberships of tha
public park golf clubs.
