Alexa to Meet Mrs. Gant
Champion Loses Hole No. 8
By ED DANFORTH,
Sporting Editor The Georgian.
v« COUNTRY CLUB, MEMPHIS,
May 30.—Memphis is quite a# enthu
siastic over Miss Alexa Stirling as At.
lanta. The little red-headed golf won
«der has won nothing but applause
~from the conclave of women golfers
here for the Southern champlonship
‘tournament. Her driving is “simply
mervelous” and there's not a woman
~member of the Country Club who
wculd not back her to win from any
five handicap man on the course, Un
lers a tremendous upset occurs, Miss
St.rling will go into the finals Sat
.urday afternoon at 3 o'clock with Mrs.
_Dave Gaut, the best woman golfer in
Mcmphis, for the championship of the
South,
1 And after watching Mrs, Gaut pick
. uy the burden of a one-hole disad
“yvantage at turn and battle her strong
Yopponent, Mrs. K. G. Duflield, South
cern champion in 1917, to defeat on
the fifteenth green, 4 and 3, 1 can say
_trat Miss Stirling’'s close-reefed game
will have to be shaken out a bit to win
“that final mateh. The little Atlanta
~girl can do it, all right. She can out
diive Mrs. Gaut and has been playing
her irons from rough lles with more
_accuracy and strength, but Mrs
“Gaut's steady game and her accurate
“putting will serve to carry the match
well toward the eighteenth green for
a decision,
Meanwhile there are, of course, the
sagifinals, scheduled for Friday
“mwerning, but the gallery heré has
talen it for granted that Miss Stir
“ling will dispose of Mrs. R, PP. Tow
ner in the same decisive fashion that
she has won her other three matches
ard is equally comh{thnt Mrs. Gaut
will win from Miss Minna Beasley,
the Memphis youngster. One can
‘never te]l about these youngsters,
though. A miracle round would put
the little semifinalist face to face with
Mijeg Stirling. Such an event would
throw a hand grenade into an other
w.re serene setting. Fainting would
~become general.
In her match with Mrs. Hum
“pkreys, Miss Stirling had plenty of
distance on her drives, but a bad pull
porsisted in sending her time and
again into the rough. Her hoodoo
~hole, No. 8, 388 yards, was the one she
“Jort. A pulled drive into high grass
¥ was followed by a short out with an
i Aron, and, essaying a 130.-yard pitch
“sos the green with her mashie, she
siiced again into rough ground. Mak
«wing her first and only poor shot from
~@a rough lie, the champion was still off
the green and short, while Mrs. Hum
phreys, playing steadily, was on in a
dilve and two brassies. Miss Stir
+Mog's approach ran over the cup six
“feet and Mry, Humphreys lald her ball
¥dead for g five. Miss Stirling took a

Tle hole is 368 yards. Miss Stirling
drcve 190 yards, slicing into the

stralght ball 160 yards down the fair
wiy, and her brassie *vas straight but
short, Miss Stirling came out of the
c.over with a spoon, and the two balls
were together in the clear. Mrs, Hum

her mashie. Mrs, Humphreys played
with a fast backspin on her approach

very difficult to attain this week.

' SECOND 'I'Yl
| By JAMES J. CORBETT.
Ross young, of the Glants, is being
touted by National League fans ds the
greatest outfielder that has debutred In
the majors since the Jlays of Cobb and
Speaker,
And Young certainly has been per
forming in a style which, if continued,
will place his name among the truly
greats of baseball. '
The youngster, imported from the
Texas league by ithe Giantg, made a
great showing in 1913, whicn was his
first year in the maiors. He fleided for
.#SO, and batted for .302. On the bases
he was deerlike. Many persons claimed
that he was faster than Coib when 1y
was at his best. And in each and every
game he showed fighting spirit and
braininess far beyond the average.
“Wait until 1919 and Young will blos
som forth as a world beater,” was the
prediction, *“Every player in his first
year in the big leagues doesnt show up
extremely well. It is necessary for him
to become acclimated, and it takes a
season to do it. But Young has nat
ural ability beyond anything that an
outfielder has shown since Cobb and
Speaker came along.” 1
Young has ‘‘ste fire” to the league
through the first month of 1918, He has
ballet;c lose to the .45 mark—and shows
no sign of let-up. He has stolen basecs
50 olten that opposition catchers have
become dizzy trying to q{op him. He
has fielued his position beautifully and
has excculed ones ‘“‘inside” play arter
another. . i
Young certainly looks like a wonder of
‘wonders 8o far and the Lest part of it
is that the farther along he goes the
starrler is his performing.
Fisher's Great Comebick.
Ray Fisher seems to be jusc another
instance of how transplantung a ball
player very frequently works a woncer
ful improvement.
Fisher became a Yankee in 1909 and
remained with the club through nine
full seasons of play., Great things were
always predicted for him —but Fisher
never made good, His performing was
only ordinary. He wasn't able to win
even half of his games from 1909 until
the Yankees decided l.hal he was “N.
G." and waived him out of the American
League.
Cincinnati icked him up and ever
since Ray I-‘lsger has been the bulwark
of the Rhineland pitching staff. He has
huried a brand of baseball excelled by
no twirler in John Heydler's circuit,
iand it looks now as if this Yankee cast
off, who was more or, less of a ‘“‘bust”
during the days of his youth, will jump
into topnotch circles at a time when
baseball judges have pronounced him
through.
What Happened to Ruth?
“Babe’’ Ruth probably is siowly real
izing the fact that, after all is said and
- done, American League pitchers aren't
“halt as easy to hit as he assumed.
’ Ruth gained considerable fame in 1918
because of his home-run clouting
I'l’nmugh April, May and June he ham
~mered the ball in @ way that startled
fandom. He banged out someihing like
ecleven home runs in that ime, and it
was expected that he would fracture all
existing home-run marks. But along
about the first of July the pitchers be
gan to gte his measure. They l’oux;d‘
the weakness of Ruth. From that time
'on Ruth never made another home run
land gradually his bulky bamng average
' began to shrink., He ended the season
just beyond the 300 mark, and with
the pitchers finding but little trouble
’stoppu.g him at almost every turn of
the bat.
Through the winter Ruth decided that
he was through with pitching and that
desliny pointed the way toward the out
field, He insisted upon becoming a
regular outfielder against he wishes ot
Ea Barrow, manager of the Red Sox.
Ruth had forgotten that through 1518
Barrow had saved him from left-handed
| pitching—which Ruth couldn’t hit. He
figured that lefthanders would be just as
easy for him as righthanders.
But now Ruth, with an average
around .175, at last has awakened to
the fact that swatting American lLeague
itching isn't half as easy a job as he
E;ul assumed, and undoubtedly he will
be content from now on to go back to
| pitching and to satisfy his love for bat
!ling by serving occasionally in pinch
hitting roles.
[ Cicote Explains Jinx, *
. Nothing has occasioned greater sur
| prise this year than the return of Eddie
Cicotte, of the White Sox.
Cicotte was the big gun in the Chi
cago attack of 1917, He pitched the
most brilliant baseball of his career in
' thal season, and due largely to this, the
' White Sox scampered through to world's
champlonship heights.
Then came 1915 and Cicotte skidded
woefully, This same twirler who had
won 28 out of 30 games in 1917 for an
'a\'eru;e of .700, could win but 12 out
| of 31 in 1418, for an average of 387,
' But now Cicotte is back and pitching
"superlative baseball He won Ll- first
five stars, and It looks as if the vete
eran is due for another winning year.
; “How do you explain it?" Cicotte was
asked,
| “Simple enough,” was the reply. “In
| 1917 1 did not pitch the opening game.
In 1918 1 did. In 1919 Kid Gleason want
| ed me to pitch the opening game, but |
| wouldn't do it. Figure it out for your
| self."”

ONLY TWICE-
By CHARLES SHONESY.
COLUMBUS, GA. May 30.—~The
Atlanta All-Prep team was beaten,
but not . disgraced, yesterday after
ncen. In its first real game of the
geason the team dropped a 2-to-0 bat
tle to the Camp Benning team, bossed
by Elmer Oliphant, the great Perdue
and West Point football and baseball
star,
The prep hero was Duby White, the
sensational Boys’ High twirler, who
for the second time held the soldier
nine in the palm of his hand. In &
recent game here he pitched for Boys’
High and had the Benning men baf
flea. Thursday afternoon he toed the
slab again and yielded but two hits,
and ‘not an earned run. One of the
pair of safeties off him was a bun‘{
that was beaten out. S,
i Duncan twirled for Benning, and
he was in great form. Only four hits
were made off him,,and he whiffed
eleven of the visiting batsmen.
The Atlantans came Very near scor
ing in the ninth, but Joe Gaston, in a
‘desperate attempt to prevent a shut
out steamed into the plate a fraction
‘of a second after the ball had ar
rived, and was tagged out.
Milton Reed, the former Atlanta
ard Mobile shortstop. playing with
Benning, starred at ghortstop. Ste
phenson, of the Preps, made a re
markable catch of a line drive over
second base and doubled a man off
first. Oliphant went to bat four times
ana failed to land a hit. However, he
tcck several vicious swings at the
ball, and if he does land it will travel
some.
Albert Jordan, of Tech High, is ex
pected to pitch today. The teams
have three more games billed, thq
series ending Sunday.
