Alexa to Meet Mrs. Gant
Champion Loses Hole No. 8
By ED DANFORTH,
Sporting Editor The Georgian.
COUNTRY CLUB, MEMPHIS,
May 30 -—Memphis is quite as enthu
glastic over Miss Alexa Stirling as At.
lanta. The tle red-headed golf won

fve handicap man on the course, Un
lets a tremendous upset occurs, Miss
Stirling will go into the finals Sat
urday afternoon at 3 o'clock with Mrs.
Dave Gaut, the best woman golfer in
Memphis, for the championship of the
south
And after watching Mrs. Gaut pick
up ti burden of a one-hole disad
vantage at turn and battle her strong
opponent, Mrs. K. G. Duffield, South
ern champion in 1917, to defeat on
the fifteenth green, 4 and 3, 1 can say
that Miss Stirling’s cloge-reefed game
will have to be shaken out a bit to win
that final match. The little .Atlanta
girl can do it, all right, She can out
drive Mrs. Gaut and has been playing
her irons from rough lies 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
& decision
Meanwhile there are, of course, the
samifinals scheduled for Friday
merning, but the gallery here has
taken it for granted that Miss Stir
ling will dispose of Mrs. R. P. Tow
ner in the same decisive fashion that
she has won her other three matches,
ard is equally certain that Mrs, Gaut
will win from Miss Minna Beasley,
the Memphis youngster. One can
never tell about these youngsters,
though. A miracle round would put
the little semifinalist face to face with
Miee 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
phkrevs, Miss Stirling had plenty of
digtance on her drives, but a bad pull
persisted in sending her time and
again into the rough, Her hoodoo
hole, No. 8, 288 yards, was the one she
loet. A pulled drive into high grass
was followed by a short out with an
fron. and, essaying a 130-yard pitch
for the green with her mashie, she
sliced again into rongh ground. Mak
ing her first and only poor shot from
a rough lie, the champion was still off
the green and short, while Mrs. Hum
phreys, plaving steadily, was on in a
drive and two brassies. Miss Stir-
Hag's approach ran over the cup six
feet and Mrw Humphreys laid her ball
dead for a five. Miss Stirling took a

straight ball 16C yards down the fair

short. Miss Btirling came out of the
clover with a spoon, and the two balls
were together in the clear. Mrs. Hum
phreys laid her ball on the edge of the
green with a brassie, and Miss Stir
ling was alongside her opponent on
her mashie. Mrs. Humphreys played
with a fast backspin on her approach
to the pin and left herself a 20-foot

of the green, played a mashie that
kicked exactly right off the hillock

880 ¥RIDAY, MAY 80, 1919.
By JAMES J. CORBETT. I
Ross young, of the Giants, 1s being
touted by National League fans as the
greatest outfielder that has debutted in
the majors since the days of Cobb and
Speaker.
And Young certainly has bheen 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 the Giants, made a
great showing in 1913, which waa Lis
first year in the maijors, He flelded for
950, and batted for .302, On the bases
he was deerlike. Many persons claimed
that he was faster than Cobb when Ty
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 .nas shown since Cobb and
Speaker came along.”
Young has “ste fire” to the lengue
through the first month of 1919, He has
battede lose to the .40 mark—and shows
no sign of let-up. He has stolen bases
so often that opposition catchers have
become dizzy trying to stop him. He
has fielded his position beautifully and
has executed one “inside” play after
another,
Young certainly looks like a wonder of
wonders so far and the Lest part of it
is that the farther along he goes the
stgrrier is his performing.
Fisher's Great Comebhick.
Ray Fisher seems to be just another
instance of how transplanung a lail
player very frequently works a wonder
iful 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 halt of his games from 1909 until
the Yankees decided that he was ‘N,
G.” and waived him out of the American
League.
Cincinnati picked him up and ever
since Ray Fisher has been the bulwark
'of the Rhineland pitching stats. He has
‘hurled a brand of baseball excelled by
'no twirler in John Heydler's circuit,
and it looks now as if this Yankee casi
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?
~ “Rabe’” Ruth probably is slowly real
izing the fact that, after all is said and
done, American lL.eague pitchers aren't
half as easy to hit as he assumed.
Ruth gained considerable fame in 1918
because of his home-run clouting
Through April, May and June he ham
mered the ball in a way that startled
fandom. He banged out'something like
' e¢leven 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 found
'the weakness of Ruth, From that time
on Ruth never made another home run
and gradually his bulky batting average
began to shrink. He ended the season
just beyond the .300 mark, and with
the pitchers finding but little trouble
stopping him at almost every turn of
the bat.
Through the winter Ruth decided that
he was through with pitching and that
destiny pointed the way toward the out
field, He insisted upon becoming a
regular outficlder against he wishes of
Ed Barrow, manager of the Red Sox.
Ruth had forgotten that through 1918
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 (o
the fact that swatting American League
pitching isn't half as easy a job as he
had assumed, and undoubtedly he will
' be content from now on to go back to
pitching and to satisfy his love for bat
}ting by serving occasionally in pinch
hitting roles.
Cicote Explains Jinx, i
} Nothing has occasioned greater sur
prise this year than the return of Kddie
‘('n-ul(e, 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
that season, and due largely to this, the
White Sox scampered through to world's
championship heights.
Then came 1918 and Cicotte skidded
woefully. This same twirler who had
won 28 out of 30 games in 1917 for an
average of .700, could win but 12 out
| of 31 in 1918, for an average of 387, ‘
But now Cicotte is back and pitching
superlative baseball. He won his first
five stars, and it looks as if the vet
eran is due for another winning year.

MEMPHIS, TENN., May 30.—
Golf devotees (make it di
vorcees if you want to) are un:mi-l
mous on one subj)ect—namely, that
Atlanta’s national champion is Ihcl
most wonderful wood c¢lub player
who ever graced a woman's (nurna-‘
ment. It is odd how free the at
mosphere here is from the envy that
might be aroused by the presence of
a champion who outclasses the field.
Every match is played and played
hard—and lost in excellent humor.

ONLY TWICE:
X l g
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
season the team dropped a 2-to-0 bat
tle to the Camp Benning team, bossed
by Elmer Oliphant, the great Perdu®
and West Point football and baseball
star. A :
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 a
recent game here he pitched for Boys®
High and had the Benning men baf<
flea. Thursday afternoon he toed th'a
slab again and yielded but two hits,
and not an earned run. One of tha“
pair of safeties off him was a bunt
that was beaten out.
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 scors
ing in the ninth, but Joe Gaston, in &
desperate attempt to prevent a shitw
out. steamed into the plate a fractu:
of a second after the ball had a
rived, and waf‘)agged out.
Milton Reed the former Atlantal
ard Mobile shortstop. playing with
Benning, starred at chortstop. 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. 4 A
Albert Jordan, of Tech High, is ex
pected to pitch today. The teams
have three more games billed, the
series ending Sunday.
